Chapter 997: Chapter 540: Reunion with Luo Venerable, News of the Void Sea Quotas_2

The message from Luo Venerable was rather brief, without detailed explanations.

Jiang Shu stood up; his not-so-brawny body emitted a horrifying pressure, giving the impression that an Ancient Divine Mountain towered in front of him. His surging blood caused space to warp, with twelve Great Dao intertwining behind him, filled with Dao Rhyme. With every movement, immense power revealed itself.

"The cultivation has progressed again, but there is still a long way to go to reach the Vientiane Late Stage."

"Indeed, the further you go in cultivation, the more difficult it becomes. Even with the Eternal Tower, which can continuously accelerate time, cultivation in the later stages still relies on understanding the Great Dao. Sometimes, a bottleneck can stall one for over a thousand years in cultivation."

He mumbled as he felt his own cultivation, then glanced at the path leading to the Eighth Floor of the Eternal Tower, shaking his head with a smile:

"I originally planned to find some time to attempt the Eighth Floor of the Eternal Tower, to see if I could match the Demon Venerable Avatar and somehow improve my battle awareness. Didn’t expect my recent schedule to be so full; I guess it’s good things come to those who wait."

Now, he had already fused more than a dozen Great Dao Embryos behind him; his combat strength couldn’t be compared to the time he first entered the Eighth Floor. He had mastered several extremely strong Great Techniques, even if he couldn’t pass through, he was confident he wouldn’t be as embarrassed as before.

Upon leaving the Eternal Tower, his figure flickered and he quickly appeared before Luo Venerable’s palace.

He didn’t conceal his aura and soon saw Luo Venerable.

Luo Venerable sized up Jiang Shu and then suddenly showed a look of surprise and delight, saying: "Sometimes I really don’t understand how you practice cultivation. In just a few days, your aura has become even more potent."

Jiang Shu delighted him more and more.

Jiang Shu chuckled and said, "Isn’t it all thanks to the teachings of the Venerable?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Venerable waved his hand and said, "I haven’t taught you much; frankly, I’ve only guided you on the path. The level you reached is due to your talent and effort."

"I called you here to tell you the news about the Void Sea."

The Void Sea is filled with fragmented space, a supreme land for cultivating Space Law. However, if everyone floods in without any restraint, it not only results in the death of cultivators but also gradually depletes the Space Law within, which is not what the Great Powers wish to see.

Hence, some selection is needed.

"The minimum cultivation for participants is the Peak of the Ninth Realm, battling with those of the same realm. The preliminary rounds are just a formality for you."

Luo Venerable evidently had great confidence in Jiang Shu.

"The higher your ranking, the better your position, which greatly benefits you in the Tenth Realm; thus, you must give it your all to earn a good ranking."

The space turbulence in the Deep Space Sea poses a great threat to cultivators of the Ninth and even Tenth Realm, but a Venerable of the Eleventh Realm can barely glimpse the situation within with their powerful cultivation.

Through thousands of years of research, the strong beings in the Star Ruins Realm have gained some understanding of the Deep Space Sea, opening stable space passages to transport different disciples to areas where the Space Law is richer.

Thus, the opening of the Deep Space Sea signifies not only a grand opportunity but also a championship for the younger geniuses.

The Deep Space Sea has opened many times, with countless geniuses proving their illustrious reputations; some fell like meteorites, while others emerged as dark horses creating their legends.

"Our Business Association has yet to enter the Inner Circle, so we can’t arrange for you to directly enter the seed sequence battle from the preliminaries; don’t take it to heart."

Luo Venerable suddenly mentioned this.

To become a genius of the Inner Circle signifies the strength of those people.

But in Luo Venerable’s view, those geniuses’ talents and comprehension might not compare to Jiang Shu.

It’s just that the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance’s foundation is too shallow and lacks such privileges.

Geniuses compete for everything, and Luo Venerable was unsure if Jiang Shu would thus harbor resentment towards the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance, so he made preemptive remarks.

Ah, it was this matter.

Jiang Shu had felt that Luo Venerable had more to say, unexpectedly, it was such a minor matter.

Jiuyu Commerce Alliance is different from the True Martial Sect; it doesn’t have such strong constraints on disciples, especially for a Supreme Genius like Jiang Shu, things are mostly discussed.

Moreover, to truly enter the Inner Circle, the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance depends on Jiang Shu.

"Luo Venerable has guided me a lot; without Jiuyu Commerce Alliance, I might not have even entered the Eternal Tower, so why worry about such trivial matters."

"It’s just a matter of spending more time, consider it as experience with the diversity within the Inner Circle, and meanwhile temper yourself."

Jiang Shu said with amusement.

His Dao Heart was firm; the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance had aided him significantly in cultivation, especially considering Luo Venerable’s influence, he wouldn’t mind this matter.

"I knew you would say that."

Luo Venerable laughed aloud.

Jiang Shu, a Supreme Genius, is sought after by any force, especially when Luo Venerable reported Jiang Shu’s astonishing cultivation speed, the top tier’s attention to Jiang Shu increased to an extreme level.

Rapid improvement in cultivation is not uncommon for Supreme Geniuses at the early stages, but cases like Jiang Shu, where even after entering the Tenth Realm, his cultivation speed picks up even further, are unheard of.

Therefore, it was specially instructed for Luo Venerable to fulfill all Jiang Shu’s demands, to bind him entirely to the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance’s ship.

Luo Venerable knew Jiang Shu wouldn’t feel discontent over this minor matter, but it was still necessary to speak.

"There’s still almost half a year until the championship opens, you can cultivate in the Eternal Tower for a while."

"If there’s a chance, you can try challenging the floors of the Eternal Tower again; with me steering for you, even if you’re injured, I can heal you here anytime."

A Forget Realm expert can effortlessly create a Little World, with immeasurable power.

With his words, even if Jiang Shu gets injured in battles in the Eternal Tower, he can be healed. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Moreover, in his view, Jiang Shu’s Dao Practice had made great strides, perhaps having already figured out his previous confusion, combining different Great Daos.

He is fully capable of ascending higher floors of the Eternal Tower.

The higher the floor in the Eternal Tower, the faster the flow of time.

Inside, not only can cultivation be accelerated, but one might also comprehend the Time Law.

Ascend to the Manifested Saint Realm, stronger than the Forget Realm.

Reaching that step, their entire Jiuyu Commerce Alliance will soar, not just standing firm in the Inner Circle but elevating to a true major force.

To unite all major forces and unify the entire Cosmic.

The Saint Realm, such heights, even he dared not imagine.

Though he is in the Forget Realm, the more he cultivates and comprehends, the more he knows there’s an immense gap between the Manifest Saint and Forget Realm.

He cannot comprehend the barrier within.

The Time Law is truly mysterious.

Perhaps, Jiang Shu could do it.

His gaze turned to Jiang Shu.

"Hmm... Thank you, Luo Venerable, for your guidance."

"I will give it a try."

Jiang Shu nodded, already planning to continue challenging the Eternal Tower.

Through battles with the Demon Venerable Avatar, his path became more clear, and his strength transformed qualitatively; he wanted to see what the replica eight percent stronger than himself would be like.

He was healing all this time and couldn’t make time.

Right before the Deep Space Sea competition, if he could break through the Eighth Floor, accelerate the time flow to a terrifying 256 to one, cultivating a year inside would be two hundred years outside, allowing him more preparation time.
