Chapter 907: The End of the Comprehension Session – Everyone Gains Something

The entire Palace of Light trembled slightly. The cultivators who had been studying the murals within emerged from their meditative state one after another. One of the more knowledgeable among them remarked:

"This is due to the spatial changes in the entire secret realm... [Jiang Huaitian] is about to leave the Nine Chapters Star Region, it's time for us to leave."

One cultivator lamented, "Alas... how did three hundred years pass so quickly? I really can't bear to leave."

One cultivator gritted his teeth and said, "Wait a little longer! I'll have fully comprehended my third diagram soon! Give me another year, and I'll definitely be able to understand it!"

"Stop trying to understand it, or you'll miss the time to leave the secret realm and get trapped in Jianghuai Heaven... The next time Jianghuai Heaven opens might be tens of thousands of years from now. What good will it do if you understand all the murals here by then? The grass on your grave will be three feet tall."

Jing Yu slowly opened his eyes. Sixty years of comprehension had allowed him to fully comprehend the first six panels of the [Zhouguang Diagram] in the [Zhouguang Hall].

I only managed to understand a small part of the seventh picture, so it's clear I won't have a chance now.

"His comprehension of the laws of time is not slow... Among the many cultivators in this Palace of Time, there are quite a few who have spent a full three hundred years here, and I estimate that they have only reached the sixth or seventh level of comprehension."

Jing Yu sighed inwardly, "Compared to the [Longevity Chart] and the [Divine Dream Chart]... the speed at which I can comprehend the [Cosmic Light Chart] is pitifully slow."

Just as they were pondering, a cloud descended into the hall. When the cloud dissipated, the brothers [Zhong Yuanqi] and [Zhong Yuanyi] had arrived.

"Xuanjing! I've come to pick you up!"

Zhong Yuanqi laughed heartily, his eyes brimming with undisguised pride, clearly indicating that he had reaped great rewards over the years.

"The entrance to Jianghuaitian is now open, and it is estimated that it will open in less than a day. At that time, we will be able to leave."

Zhong Yuanqi said regretfully, "Alas... to be honest, I really don't want to leave. The Qi Sensing Diagram is the greatest opportunity in my cultivation career. In the past three hundred years, I have studied the Qi Sensing Diagram and not only comprehended the first seven diagrams, but also sorted out and reshaped my entire path. I have benefited a lot."

"From this point on, the Mahayana realm will hold no more secrets for me—I should not encounter too many significant bottlenecks until I become an immortal."

Jing Yu asked curiously, "Brother Yuan Qi, what level of strength have you reached now?"

Zhong Yuanqi said proudly, "I have no rivals within the Cave Heaven Realm. I estimate that the legendary true disciples of the Cave Heaven Realms of the various Immortal Courts are only at this level."

"If I were to encounter that Ying Qianjue again? If he were still at the level he was three hundred years ago, I could blow that bastard to a skeleton in one breath."

"A true disciple of the Celestial Court? You're quite the braggart." Jing Yu thought to herself, then turned to look at Zhong Yuanyi:

"Yuan Yi, how was your harvest in the [Palace of Blood and Flesh]?"

Zhong Yuanyi said embarrassedly, "I am dull-witted, as you know... I have only comprehended the first four [Flesh and Blood Diagrams]."

"The first four pictures?" Jing Yu exclaimed in surprise, "For a Nascent Soul cultivator, this is quite an achievement! It seems your compatibility with the [Law of Flesh and Blood] is exceptionally high."

Zhong Yuanyi asked curiously, "Xuanjing, weren't you in the [Hall of Longevity] before? Did you comprehend a few of the diagrams?"

Jing Yu felt it was rather astonishing to say that he had comprehended all ten diagrams, since the difficulty of the ten law diagrams in each immortal palace was not uniform, and the difficulty increased significantly as you progressed. Therefore, he cautiously said:

"I've only been in the Shouyuan Hall for a little over a hundred years, and I've barely managed to understand the first seven pictures."

"hiss……"

Zhong Yuanqi gasped: "You mean you took over a hundred years to complete what I took three hundred years to achieve? And you did it at the Nascent Soul stage?"

"Comparison is the thief of joy... Little brother, look at Xuanjing, and then look at yourself."

Zhong Yuanyi rolled his eyes: "Why don't you just compare me to those true disciples of the Celestial Court?"

The three chatted and laughed as they left the Palace of Time. Zhong Yuanqi enveloped the two of them with the new [Primordial True Qi], and soon they arrived at the exit of [Jianghuai Heaven], waiting for it to open.

Many cultivators had already gathered here. Jing Yu spotted a group from the Mohe Sect among them. Ye Xingyun, Chang Jingsi, and others were still mixed in with them, just like ordinary Mohe Sect disciples.

Zhong Yuanqi looked around and clicked his tongue, saying, "This trip to Jianghuai Tian has been far too peaceful... Compared to when we came in, about 99% of the cultivators have returned unharmed."

“In the past, if the Jianghuai Tian had returned after three hundred years, it would have been good if half of them came back.”

Jing Yu laughed and said, "After all, the previous Jianghuai Heaven did not have these immortal palaces. Cultivators mostly competed for various rare and precious materials in the cave heavens and secret realms, which inevitably resulted in many deaths and injuries... But this time, there is too little time to comprehend the law diagrams, so how can there be time for life-and-death battles?"

As the group was chatting, they saw the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty gathering from all directions.

The Crown Prince of the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty, Ying Qianjue, remained arrogant as ever, gathering his subordinates and imperial descendants to begin taking a headcount.

After a while, Ying Qianjue frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "Where is Li Fang? Why can't I see him?"

Another guard at the Cave Heaven Realm whispered, "Your Highness, a cultivator who was meditating in the [Longevity Hall] saw Li Fang chasing and fleeing that wanted criminal from the Immortal Dynasty, and they disappeared without a trace..."

Upon hearing this, Ying Qianjue narrowed his eyes and walked straight towards Jing Yu.

"Kid, someone saw you and Li Fang chasing each other and then disappearing... Where's Li Fang?"

Jing Yu glanced at Ying Qianjue, showing no sign of tension, and casually said, "Use your pig brain. Since you've seen that I'm unharmed, do you really need to think about what happened to Li Fang?"

"Did you kill him?"

Ying Qianjue looked at Zhong Yuanqi and roared angrily, "You Zhong Yuanqi, you Zhong family... you have targeted my Immortal Dynasty time and time again, killing my Divine Cauldron cultivators!"

He never considered that it was Jing Yu himself who killed Li Fang, who was in the early stage of the Cave Heaven realm; he simply assumed that Zhong Yuanqi himself had taken the action.

With this false accusation pinned on him, Zhong Yuanqi naturally wouldn't expose Jing Yu. Instead, he gave a vague and ambiguous admission, lazily saying:

"You filthy bastard, a mere guardian at the Cave Heaven Realm, I'll kill you if I want, what are you going to do about it?"

"court death!"

Nine lifelike and incredibly agile golden dragons roared out from Ying Qianjue's palm!

Without saying a word, Ying Qianjue immediately took action!

"Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier?"

Zhong Yuanqi was not intimidated at all; on the contrary, he looked eager to try. He opened his mouth and spat out a ball of [Primordial True Qi], which clashed with the nine true dragons. In an instant, the surrounding spiritual energy boiled and the aftershocks spread. The surrounding cultivators could not avoid it and were injured one after another.

The two exchanged blows, and neither side gained the upper hand; rather, they were evenly matched.

"Ok?"

Zhong Yuanqi thought to himself, "This bastard has made great progress in supernatural powers in the past three hundred years? Indeed, the heroes of the world should not be underestimated!"
