Chapter 372 - Refining Innate Supreme Treasures

“What happened?” Jiang Ming gulped down the glass of wine. He changed a new glass, looked through the assorted wine and found a type of wine that was set ablaze. He then poured a glass, swirled the glass and watched as the flame rose into the air. It was not hot whatsoever, but on the contrary, gave off a kind of cold chilling sensation. It felt very magical.

“I wandered into a secret realm in the universe and ended up being trapped inside.” Luo Heng scratched his head as he explained what happened.

It was actually quite simple.

After cultivating in the Supreme Pagoda, Luo Heng learned all kinds of secret techniques, countless special abilities and even challenged the Battle Towers countless times, he still could not meet the qualifications to join the Chat Room.

He knew that he was still far behind. However, he also felt that he had reached his current limit.

Feeling that there was no longer any point in continuing to cultivate, he returned to reality, went through the scrolls, flipped through records and finally locked on to a few secret realms that had great opportunities in them. He was prepared to go out and test his luck.

Unexpectedly, Luo Heng encountered a squad of demon army and as expected, a great battle broke out.

Luo Heng was defeated and so he went deeper into the secret realm. He was accidentally led into a secret place of inheritance.

It was both a great encounter as well as a dead end to him. Even the signal connecting him to the virtual network was blocked and it was impossible for him to call for help.

The only good thing about the place was that violence was prohibited in that secret realm. Those who entered could only try comprehending the secret technique of inheritance and couldn’t even leave until the person reached a certain level.

Fortunately for Luo Heng, it wasn’t difficult for him.

However, with his way of escape at the back being blocked off, what could he do? Luo Heng tried his luck and was unexpectedly able to enter the Supreme Pagoda.

He was prepared to think of a way of escaping his predicament in the Supreme Pagoda. If that didn’t work, he would try breaking through into the next cultivation realm. That was until he saw Jiang Ming and Ye Qingxian.

“Since you were able to escape, it seems the other party isn’t too strong, right?” Jiang Ming asked after hearing the story.

“They are far stronger than I am! If it weren’t for my life-saving treasure, I wouldn’t be able to see you two anymore!” Luo Heng smiled wryly. “In terms of the cultivation system here, the strongest person among them should be equivalent to that of Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm. It was a fluke that I was able to escape!”

“It shows that you have great luck!” Jiang Ming smiled. “Can your genetic level continue to improve?”

“Yes! But it’s too difficult. Even raising it by a small degree, the difficulty is akin to ascending into the sky!” Luo Heng sighed.

“What’s so difficult about it?” Jiang Ming asked again.

“There’s three difficulties in total. One, there must be a secret technique used. Back where I’m from, special techniques that help to improve a person’s genetic level are extremely rare. The one that I got my hands on can raise a person’s genetic level up to 10,000-folds. It’s one of a kind even throughout the whole universe.” Luo Heng wasn’t holding back at all about the fact that he had such a treasure. “Perhaps, getting my hands on such a secret technique has exhausted all my luck. This might have been the reason behind the catastrophe I’m facing now!”

“Secondly, the method of raising the level of genes is self-reorganization. If there were to be even the slightest error, the person’d die because of his genes collapsing. I used to practice my cultivation in the sacred land of cultivation in the secret realm of my human race. There is a supreme divine power that helps to suppress myself. Even if I were to make a mistake or two, I can still be saved.”

“The third would be that I need the support of a cosmic treasure. However, because I’ve exhausted my treasures, and that my strength has reached a higher level, I need to travel out to further temper myself. As such, I went off to explore the secret realms of the universe, yet ended up stumbling upon a squad of demon army. I suspect that some spies had leaked news about my travels. After all, I am a relatively well-known peerless genius of the human race and has already been on the wanted list among other races. I was caught in such a predicament not long after I embarked on my journey.”

Luo Heng told of his current predicament.

To improve the genetic level of a person was not the same as improving a person’s cultivation realm. This was equivalent to bloodline evolution.

“Currently, there’s two difficulties that you are facing. One would be getting your hands on a powerful Dao vessel that can suppress yourself. The second would be a cosmic treasure. Is that right?” Jiang Ming asked.

“Yeah!” Luo Heng nodded, “I wanted to travel around, hoping to obtain some great encounters to accumulate wealth, so as to further improve my genetic levels! However, life doesn’t always go your way!”

“What is such a misfortune?” Jiang Ming replied in a happy tone, “Here, see if this thing is of any use to you.”

Saying so, Jiang Ming reached out and grabbed mid-air. A wisp of innate vital essence fell into his hand. Although it was only a single wisp, it was as heavy as a huge mountain.

“This is...” Luo Heng frowned as he observed the object, sensing it carefully. He couldn’t help but be shocked by the treasure, “This is the power of the origin of the universe! This is a rare cosmic wonder!”

“The power of the origin of the universe?” A strange look flashed through Jiang Ming’s face, “Back where I’m from, this is the innate vital essence, which can only be found at the beginning of the birth of the world! Can it help you in improving your genetic level?”

“Of course it can, but...” Luo Heng also understood what Jiang Ming meant when he took out the essence, but immediately shook his head. “Brother Jiang, this is too precious! Besides, it is of great use to you as well!”

“I have more!” Jiang Ming stretched out his hand and grabbed midair yet again. This time, a round ball appeared, sealed within was a large amount of innate vital essence as he threw the ball over at Luo Hong. “Being able to meet each other and become friends whilst separated by countless worlds is a heaven-defying fate. This thing is not of much use to me, and I still have a lot of them left. Brother Luo, just think of it as my investment in you. When you achieve something great in the future, don’t you forget about me!”

“Brother Jiang!” Seeing Jiang Ming’s sincere eyes, Luo Heng put the ball of essence away. “No point for me to say anything courteous. If there comes a time where I can be of great use to you, just call out for me!”

“That’s more like it!” Jiang Ming replied. He then took out another cauldron and threw it over at Luo Heng. “This is an ultimate Great Overarching Dao Vessel. It has the ability of self-suppression and it may be useful for your cultivation!”

Luo Hong gasped in awe.

“Just accept it! Brother Jiang is a nouveau riche!” Ye Qingxian said with a smile.

“What nouveau riche? We are the rich generation!” Jiang Ming said, “Looking through the infinite realms, who can compare with me in terms of wealth?After overturning Heaven Courts, I got a hold of many great treasures. Just by counting Venerate Dao Vessels, I’ve got more than ten of them already!”

Back then in Tiancang Great Chiliocosm, he detonated many Dao vessels to bombard the whole Heaven Court, at the same time killing an unknown number of experts.

There were of course still many Dao vessels that had not been destroyed. Jiang Ming, who was at the center of the Heaven Court, kept them all away.

Other than Quasi-Sage Weapons, there were still many more Great Overarching Dao Vessels left. These were all treasures obtained from those experts that were present on the edges of the Heaven Court during the skirmish.

The owners had died, and their Dao vessels were what was left of them.

All of which had become Jiang Ming’s trophy.

“You are the bomb!” What else could Ye Qingxian say, but to give him a thumbs up.

“Brother Jiang is still one of a kind! You’ve convinced me!” Luo Heng exclaimed.

“Alright then! I’m off to cultivate now! Ms. Ye, Brother Luo! If you need me for anything in the future, just wait for me here!” Jiang Ming said as he flew towards the Dao Enlightenment Sea, and landed on a lotus platform.

“To be able to come to this place is a great encounter; to be able to know Brother Jiang is a sky-defying encounter!” Luo Heng remarked emotionally.

“I know right!” Ye Qingxian nodded, “Great comprehensive capability, great talent, courage, and such forthrightness! Among the people that I have met, brother Jiang is without a doubt the number one on the list!”

Back then, Jiang Ming gave her 1,000 points as remuneration for her help. No one would’ve even believed her for the value was too great.

Sitting on top of the lotus platform, Jiang Ming spent a point to accelerate time to the speed of 10,000 years in a blink of an eye.

“I’ve three goals to achieve in this round of cultivation retreat!” Jiang Ming thought to himself. “One is to refine all Quasi-Sage Dao Vessels that I’ve obtained, just in case anything happens! This is especially for the Saint Weapon Blood Banner that I obtained from the Great Demon Venerate. With this Saint Weapon, I will have more confidence!”

“The second goal is to continue deducing the Infinite Vessel Manipulation Technique and the Infinite Transcendence Technique!”

“The third will be to comprehend the Taiyi Laws, improve my cultivation realm, and prepare for the evolution of my inner world!”

After Jiang Ming had a simple plan on his cultivation retreat, he evoked the Human Path Record.

Suppressed within the Human Path Record were weapons such as the pinnacle Saint Weapon, Taiye Sword and the likes.

For the Demi-Sage Weapons, there were the Silver Luminance Battle Armor, Heavenly Emperor Sword, Heavenly Emperor Seal, Emperor Crown and the Sky Demon Saber.

There was also the Saint Weapon Blood Banner, which was the most powerful Dao Vessel among them.

Jiang Ming immersed himself as he refined the Dao vessels one by one.
