Chapter 528 - 291: Advancing to the Middle Stage of Primordial Spirit

Chapter 528: Chapter 291: Advancing to the Middle Stage of Primordial Spirit

Jiang Man thought for a moment before asking, "Is there room to survive?"

"There is," the Old Yellow Ox said earnestly. "Under the well-ordered rule of the Immortal Sect, there is certainly room to survive, but it’s limited. The human heart is difficult to fathom. It can always manage to pull you from that safe ground."

Jiang Man stopped dwelling on it. "It’s fine," he said. "I’ll make sure I stay on that ground, and my light will shine upon them all."

Afterwards, Jiang Man dedicated himself to his cultivation.

Nothing posed a significant obstacle to him.

No matter how narrow the path, as long as one existed, he could traverse it.

Even if there was no safe ground, he still had Mr. Ji and the Old Yellow Ox.

And even if all that failed...

He could still hide his cultivation.

’There’s no shame in surviving, after all.’

「Three days later.」

The cultivation levels in Jiang Man’s small courtyard began to be revealed.

First place: Ji An, Primordial Spirit Perfection.

Second place: Ji Shoumo, Primordial Spirit Perfection.

Third place: Bai Qiufeng, Primordial Spirit Perfection.

Fourth place: Miao Yulin, Primordial Spirit Perfection.

Fifth place: Bai Long, Primordial Spirit Perfection.

Sixth place: Ji Chenfeng, Primordial Spirit Perfection.

Seventh place: Bai Ming, Late Stage of Primordial Spirit.

Eighth place: Ji Linglong, Late Stage of Primordial Spirit.

Ninth place: Qi Xi, Late Stage of Primordial Spirit.

Tenth place: Ji Meng, Middle Stage of Primordial Spirit.

Eleventh place: Xiaoqing, Middle Stage of Primordial Spirit.

Twelfth place: Jiang Man, Early Stage of Primordial Spirit.

Thirteenth place: Wei Ran, Late Stage of Golden Core.

The rest were all at the Early Stage of Golden Core.

Looking at this group of Late Stage and Perfection cultivators, it wasn’t just Zhuo Bufan and the others who were shocked.

Even Mr. Yan was frozen on the spot.

’Are these people she’s qualified to teach?’

Any one of them, chosen at random, could kill her with a single slap.

Beyond that, however, most people were focused on Jiang Man.

By age, he should be twenty-eight this year.

A twenty-eight-year-old at the Primordial Spirit realm.

It was truly astonishing.

Then there was the twenty-six-year-old at the Late Stage of Golden Core.

He would probably reach the Primordial Spirit realm before he turned thirty.

However, that didn’t guarantee he would get the chance to advance to the Primordial Spirit realm.

Sometimes, that opportunity depended on the grand tournament.

The same was true for advancing to the Returning Void realm.

Qi Xi privately asked Miao Yulin what she thought of Jiang Man’s cultivation level.

Miao Yulin’s answer was that she could try wearing a shorter Immortal Skirt.

As for whether they were worried about him catching up...

...neither those at the Late Stage nor those at Perfection were too concerned.

Because they had no real conflict of interest.

’He couldn’t possibly be in the grand tournament three years from now, could he?’

So while they were amazed, his progress didn’t put any pressure on them.

「Two days later.」

The six who had been locked up were finally released.

Ji Shoumo and the others wore grim expressions. There were members of the Bai Family among the imprisoned, and while they all could have applied for an early release, the Bai Family members had insisted on strict enforcement to set an example.

As a result, they were all locked up for the full duration.

Since the request was for strictness, what could the Law Enforcement Hall do?

Seeing the three Bai Family members strutting around so arrogantly, they were infuriated.

In the end, they went back to supervise Jiang Man’s cultivation.

They had thought he might have started slacking off, but he hadn’t.

When they returned, he was still in the middle of his cultivation.

"So diligent?" Ji Linglong said in surprise.

They already knew Jiang Man’s cultivation level, so they hadn’t been surprised when the rankings were announced.

However, they were worried that Jiang Man was being too eager for quick results.

"Give it a few more days," Ji Chenfeng said. "He’ll learn that it’s difficult to make progress by just blindly cultivating. One needs a proper balance of work and rest."

So, the group watched Jiang Man cultivate, waiting for the day his efforts would yield no results.

One day passed.

They watched impassively.

Two days passed.

They continued to observe.

Five days passed.

They were a little surprised. Jiang Man was consuming elixirs rather quickly.

Ten days passed.

They grew suspicious.

Something about Jiang Man’s aura felt off. It was a sign of an imminent breakthrough.

’Is it just an illusion?’

On the twelfth day.

His aura erupted.

The power around him solidified and retracted, growing more substantial.

He broke through to the Middle Stage of Primordial Spirit!

The two who had remained shot to their feet.

’How could he be this fast?!’
