Chapter 92 The Arrival of the Bright King, the Profound Meaning of the Dao!

"Can this mural accelerate the accumulation of time for sudden enlightenment?"

Ji Ming murmured to himself, abruptly abandoning his plan to use the "Enlightenment" technique.

He was certain that there was absolutely no change in the flow of time inside the Tower of Babel!

"The Tower of Babel, the Tower of Babel—"

Ji Ming's eyes burned with fervor, and he frantically chanted in his mind, "Calm down! Calm down! What if it's just a flash in the pan? We don't even know if this improvement is stable!"

He had never thought of any way to speed up the accumulation of enlightenment time. The most crucial question now was what the influencing factors were.

"What kind of power is hidden in these murals?" Ji Ming wondered to himself. Logically speaking, physical martial arts techniques cannot be mastered by comprehension alone, but this rule can be broken within the Tower of Babel.

This situation also occurred once before, at Shirakawa City's Purple Heart Lotus!

But at that time, it didn't affect the time of enlightenment. Was it because the level was not high enough, or was it because of something else?

With too few clues, it was difficult to figure things out, so Ji Ming simply stopped worrying about it and put it aside for now, knowing that the Tower of Babel had this function was enough.

My gaze remained fixed on the mural before me, where the figure carrying the wheel of stars on his back shone even brighter.

The murals inside the Tower of Babel do not directly enhance his comprehension; rather, he gains more because of his comprehension, so the effects of sudden enlightenment can be stacked.

He had a premonition that his strength would experience a leap forward this time!

Time flew by. Ji Ming kept a sliver of his attention on the time on his bracelet. After a few hours, he understood that inside the Tower of Babel, one could gain an epiphany every four hours, which was a 25-fold improvement!

It’s incredible!

In one day, he can gain an extra 6 moments of enlightenment, which is equivalent to a month's worth of accumulation.

"So, before being teleported out, there will be a total of 8 moments of enlightenment, which is 80 seconds."

Ji Ming knew what was going on and focused all his attention on cultivating the Starry Sky Bright King Body, preparing to refine the special characteristic [Bright King's Arrival]. If he could cultivate this martial art to this level, it could be called the "Great Completion Realm"!

[Skill: Star King Body Iv.18 (19%)]

He's already at level 18. Due to the increased difficulty, his progress has slowed down considerably, but it's still comparable to his usual training speed, which is dozens or even hundreds of times faster. However, the Tower of Babel's effect of weakening martial arts bottlenecks is of little use to him.

Time flew by. At one point, Ji Ming suddenly opened his eyes, checked the time, and said, "It's almost time."

There were still nearly five minutes before he was teleported out.

[Skill: Star King Body Iv.19 (69%)]

[Number of moments of sudden enlightenment: 8 (35/100)]

With eight sudden enlightenments in hand, Ji Ming felt he had never fought such a rich battle before. He was certain that he would be able to cultivate the [Ming Wang Lin] technique today, and perhaps even advance to the next level after reaching the Great Completion stage!

In just one day, he had raised his Star King Body by more than two levels inside the Tower of Babel. It would take at least two or three months to cultivate outside, and it would be even more difficult for other martial artists. It is said that many of the genius martial artists on the Star Ranking still have not mastered their body-refining martial arts even after reaching the Divine Realm.

As one's martial arts skills become more profound, the improvement brought by a single enlightenment is no longer significant. In fact, one may be stuck due to insufficient time, and only by accumulating multiple insights and using them together can the effect be maximized.

It's said to be eight times, but it only takes a short 80 seconds.

Ji Ming's gaze sharpened, and a thought struck him: "A sudden realization!"

"boom!"

In an instant, he entered that strange state again, looking at the mural. He found that he could actually understand a little bit of the enigmatic carvings that were previously incomprehensible!

At the same time, the Star King's body was running wildly like a galloping wild horse, and it seemed that wisps of air were being drawn into the mural. As his comprehension speed increased, more and more air flowed in.

His physical strength was increasing dramatically, and he seemed to have grown taller without anyone noticing. A majestic and dignified aura gradually appeared on him!

suddenly-

A phantom descended from the sky and merged into Ji Ming's brow. Instantly, his body became clear, and his blood vessels and internal organs were clearly visible, with impurities being forced out.

The Wise King is here!

Upon first cultivating to the level of the Bright King, he will receive a marrow cleansing. Even if his innate talent [Martial God's Blessing] disappears, his current talent and potential are not weak, at least reaching the level of a Holy Land student.

You should know that before this, he had a hard time even getting into a prestigious professional university.

[Ming Wang Lin: Cleansing the marrow and rejuvenating the essence!]

Of course, Ming Wang Lin can also be used as a technique to increase physical defense several times over, and can even withstand flying swords of cultivators at the Purple Mansion level!

【Stellar Transformation】is the main offensive skill, 【Bright King's Arrival】is the main defensive skill, and 【Star God Technique】is the overall unification, drawing upon the power of the nine heavens' stars for one's own use!

The level of the Star King Body continued to increase until the enlightenment time was exhausted. Ji Ming suddenly opened his eyes. After mastering the Great Perfection Body Refining Martial Technique, his temperament was completely different.

[Skill: Star King Body Iv.23 (35%)]

Ji Ming clenched his fist. He felt that he was much stronger than before. If he fully activated the body-refining martial arts technique, his strength would increase dramatically!

He was certain that even students ranked lower on the Star Ranking wouldn't possess a Heavenly Grade Upper-Level Body Refining Martial Technique of this caliber.

At least, he has now caught up with those top students in one area.

Without wasting any time, he found another mural of a long sword and began to study it. By combining it with the Nine Luminaries Mystic Heaven Sword, his progress increased by another 5%.

Suddenly, the space in front of Ji Ming distorted, and a suction force came. He took one last look at the Tower of Babel, and then was unstoppably teleported away.

"Why do these murals seem so much darker?"

Ji Ming shook his head. Was it just his imagination?

Ye Zhou was waiting outside the Tower of Babel. Of course, he hadn't waited all day; he had come at just the right time so that he could comfort Ji Ming when he came out and persuade him to save his second chance.

The tower was wide open when Ji Ming was thrown out, looking completely bewildered. Ye Zhou quickly went to meet him.

"Hehe, not as much of a harvest as you hoped, huh? I told you, usually you encounter a bottleneck, then accumulate a lot of foundation, and then sit in the Tower of Babel for a day to break through it."

"That's not how you use the Tower of Babel!" Ye Zhou shook his head and sighed.

Young man, learn from your mistakes!

"Hmm? Mr. Zhang, what's wrong?"

Ye Zhou suddenly noticed the old man in front of the tower. He saw that the old man had a mirror in his hand, his withered palm was trembling, and his eyes were wide open!

"When you get old, you shouldn't overwork yourself; you should rest properly," Ye Zhou said sincerely.

"You old man—"

"Ah! My profound Dao!"

Old Zhang let out a long howl, his expression filled with grief and indignation, which made Ji Ming's skin crawl.

"Hmm?" Ye Zhou's expression changed, his mind raced, and he flashed to block Ji Ming's path.

Old Zhang was taken aback at the sight, then regained his composure, composed himself, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure!"

Ye Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, then asked curiously, "Old man—what happened?"

"Ask that kid!" Old Zhang put away the mirror, his face dark. "That kid spent a day in the Tower of Babel, and the amount of Dao essence he consumed was more than ten Jade Liquid Realm cultivators combined!"

"Ask him what he did?"

Ye Zhou turned around in astonishment, his mouth agape. What a joke!

The Tower of Babel does not allow those above the level of embryonic breathing to enter because the consumption is too great and not worthwhile. Moreover, the Dao essence within the tower provides negligible improvement to Saint-grade martial arts.

But Ji Mingcai is only at the Jade Uncarved Realm. His martial arts skills are so advanced that even if he breaks through two or three levels, it shouldn't consume as much energy as the Jade Liquid Realm, right?

Ten more!

tease me?

Ji Ming blinked his innocent-looking big eyes and whispered, "Teacher, I don't know anything. Going in means cultivation!"

Ye Zhou's expression shifted slightly, and he suddenly turned to the old man to question him: "That's right! My student just went in to cultivate; the high consumption of energy is due to his high comprehension."

"Is that not allowed?"

Old Zhang rolled his eyes. Even the highest level of comprehension has its limits; how could one day possibly consume so much?

There is a limit to how fast the Tower of Babel can accelerate martial arts training; you simply can't absorb that much through training alone!

Besides, what about the bottleneck? The Tower of Babel weakens the bottleneck, it doesn't ignore it. Can you keep breaking through it indefinitely?

Ji Ming remained silent, appearing completely clueless. The Dao essence must have been absorbed by the [God of War's Blessing] to accelerate his enlightenment.

The essence of Tao—that is the key to sudden enlightenment!

Ye Zhou frowned, realizing his explanation was somewhat far-fetched. He immediately straightened up and said, "Hmph! Since that's the case, I'll tell you the truth! This is the latest research result of our Natural School. Why are you asking so many questions, old man? Are you coveting the secrets of our school?"

"When the teacher returns, I'll have him come over for tea with you!"

"Oh!"

Old Zhang chuckled, "Don't try to intimidate me with Grand Secretary He. I was just asking casually. Get lost!"

The old man smiled enigmatically. "Latest research findings? You're kidding me. If it were true, why haven't I seen you use it yourself?"

However, he also figured it out. Anyway, the Tower of Babel wasn't his, so you could use it however you wanted. He was just a little surprised earlier.

"Haha, little guy, don't be nervous. As long as you're within the rules, it's your skill to absorb so much Dao essence," Elder Zhang said with a smile.

Ji Ming didn't say anything. At this point, saying more would only make things worse. He should just leave everything to Teacher Ye Zhou.

"Hmm, that's more to say!" Ye Zhou nodded with a smile, cupped his hands in a respectful bow, and said, "Elder Zhang, this is truly a secret of our school; you mustn't reveal what happened today!"

"Hmph! Do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to gossip?" Old Zhang said, blowing his beard and glaring.

"Hehe, of course I know you're not!" Ye Zhou's expression changed quickly.

Only then did Ji Ming dare to speak, "Teacher, how can I get another chance to enter the Tower of Babel?"

Upon hearing this, Old Zhang's lips twitched slightly. He had almost forgotten that this kid could go in one more time.

Oh well, it's not mine anyway, so I'm not worried about it!

Ye Zhou pondered for a moment, "Hmm—there are many methods, but the one closest to you should be the Star Ranking!"

"The Star Ranking?"

Ye Zhou nodded, "Even if you are ranked at the bottom of the Star Ranking, you will have a chance to enter the two great treasures every few months. There are rules in the Tower of Babel. Each person can only enter once a month. Entering more than once is useless and will not allow you to merge with the martial arts imprints inside."

"No need to rush. With your talent, you'll be on the Star Ranking in a year at most."

The words had barely left his mouth when his eyelids twitched again. This kid had consumed so much Dao essence; his improvement was immense. Could it be that it wouldn't even take a year?

Ji Ming nodded upon hearing this. The Star Ranking was indeed quite difficult, as his cultivation level was too low.

Besides, since he can only enter once a month, he doesn't need to be in a hurry. It's normal for such a rare item to have limitations. Otherwise, what difficulty would there be in practicing martial arts if he lived inside all the time?

"Then—" Ji Ming looked at the black tower behind him, then asked, "How can we gain control of the Tower of Babel?"

His eyes sparkled; the thought of possessing the Tower of Babel was too beautiful to contemplate.

"Ahem!"

Old Zhang was taken aback, coughed twice, looked up at the sky, and thought, "I was wrong, really. This kid is not humble or polite at all; arrogance is not even an adequate description!"

Ye Zhou was speechless, and said irritably, "Let's talk about that when you become the Palace Master of Tianyi Star Palace!"

"Huh?" Ji Ming was filled with regret upon hearing this. That would be a long time. By then, would the Tower of Babel still be of any use to him?

"You little rascal, you really dare to dream!" Ye Zhou grabbed him and left, afraid that if Palace Master Lu found out, he would give them each a whack. Although Palace Master Lu was in seclusion, who knew?

Old Zhang stroked his long beard, watching the two figures disappear into the distance. "These young people are truly formidable," he thought. "I feel this Star Palace is about to become quite lively."

Very well, my Xuanhuang civilization needs this kind of extraordinary genius right now!

There was a hint of worry in Old Zhang's eyes.

"Want to go to Moon Well?"

On the way, Ye Zhou asked softly, without asking about his time at the Tower of Babel.

Ji Ming shook his head. "Let's wait a couple of days!"

Today is June 10th, and one of the two courses he chose is available today, so he has to go check it out.

Moreover, the Moon Well's effect is to aid in cultivation and improve one's realm, so he needs to make some preparations.

"Alright!"

Ye Zhou nodded and left, not following him any further. Ji Ming glanced at the class schedule and headed towards the teaching area.

An elderly teacher slowly walked into the General Knowledge Course on Civilization of All Realms. The classroom was packed with students, who would inevitably have to go to the battlefield of all realms in the future, so this course was basically a required course.

Moreover, the course is short and doesn't require in-depth study, yet it offers 1.5 credits, making it quite cost-effective.

As soon as the old teacher entered the room, all the students stood up and greeted him: "Good morning, Professor!"

A professor is a person of profound learning!

They could clearly sense the radiance of wisdom emanating from this old man; he was a scholar of profound learning.

Not all martial arts practitioners are taught by martial artists.

"sit!"

The old professor pressed his palms down, and a virtual screen appeared. "Today, we'll begin with the ten most advanced civilizations!"

"The Xuanhuang Civilization, the Heavenly Demon Civilization, the Abyss Civilization, the Myriad Spirits Civilization, the Celestial Immortal Civilization, the Celestial Demon Civilization, the Dragon and Phoenix Civilization, the Void Beast Civilization, the Divine Armor Civilization, and the Supreme Soul Civilization!"

"These are the ten most powerful civilizations, also known as the ten strongest races we often mention!"

"Among them, the Dragon and Phoenix Civilization separated from the Heavenly Demon Civilization 30,000 years ago."

"Our Xuanhuang civilization has risen the shortest time, but its strength is not weak. Of course, the strongest is the Celestial Immortal civilization, which is even inferior to the Celestial Demon civilization at its peak."

"Leaving that aside, our main enemies are still the Heavenly Demons and the Abyss Civilization, and this year we will mainly focus on these two civilizations —"

The old professor spoke eloquently on the podium, and Ji Ming listened attentively. Some of the information was familiar to him, but most of it was new to him.

The two-hour lecture ended, and the next general knowledge course on civilizations across the world will be held in three days.

After class, Ji Ming was about to leave when a boy with thick eyebrows suddenly stopped him.

"I'm Wu Hui, watch out for Yuan Heng!"

Ji Ming frowned. "You're also from the Primal School, right? Why are you reminding me?"

"Oh!"

Wu Hui smiled arrogantly, "Do you think everyone in my Original School is a villain? Only mediocre people like them would do stupid things. If it were me, why would I fear fighting you at the same level?"

"I'm just reminding you because I don't want that idiot Yuan Heng to succeed. That piece of trash clearly doesn't have the potential but insists on forcing his way to godhood, which is just lowering my standards!" Wu Hui's face was full of disdain.

Of course, the key reason he hated Yuan Heng was that the idiot actually wanted him to use underhanded methods to deal with Ji Ming that day, wasn't that an insult to him?

Ji Ming found it amusing. "Okay, thank you!"

Wu Hui raised his thick eyebrows, straightened his chest, and walked away with his head held high.

Not paying much attention to the matter, Ji Ming quickly headed towards the core accommodation area because his Book of Will was about to arrive!

"Extra 135 East: Hello, Ji Ming, please sign for your package."

Ji Ming opened the metal box, entered the password, and found a silver card inside. He picked it up and examined it; it was undoubtedly the Book of Will, "The Great Void Escape".

"Um!"

A high-grade Saint-level martial skill like this requires multiple layers of review before it can be delivered, which is why it has been delayed until today.

If it's not the Book of Will, then it's simple; just package it and send it via virtual space.

"Okay, thank you!"

Nodding to the deliveryman, Ji Ming carried two suitcases into the villa.

Coincidentally, the "Core Trainee Development Program" has also been approved.

Three hundred merit points were deposited into his account early this morning, and a portion of Yuan Essence was also delivered just now.

Back in the martial arts training room, Ji Ming opened two boxes. The Book of Willpower was there, and the other box contained a transparent, specially made potion bottle filled with half a bottle of golden liquid.

This is the Yuan Sui, a high-grade medicine with mild medicinal properties, which is very suitable for martial artists in the Jade Purity Realm to cultivate, and can greatly accelerate the speed of opening the Heavenly Meridians.

For Ji Ming, the effect of this essence is that it can help him transform his cultivation method more quickly and replace the "Azure Flame Meridian Opening Method" with the "Yin Yang Meridian Opening Method" as soon as possible. At that time, his qualities in all aspects will be greatly improved.

He checked, and this item can also be exchanged in the "Tianyi Treasure Vault," but it costs 50 merit points per item, and even with an 80% discount, it's still 40.

The points are distributed among core students, who receive one free copy each month.

This level of training is already quite substantial. As for wanting more, you'll have to work hard yourself!

Even the Xia family doesn't fully satisfy all the needs of the younger generation. Instead, they let them work hard on their own while the elders arrange everything for them, giving them whatever they want. This will only spoil them.

Putting all that aside, with his merit points now in his account, the plan he had always cherished could finally be put into action.

He tapped his bracelet, and the list he had been collecting and searching for recently appeared, containing information about various races and their descriptions.

【Mingguang Emerald Swan: One of the top 100 races, belonging to the Flying Moon Civilization. Its body contains light, shines like jade under the moonlight, and its meridians are like marrow, pure and flawless. ————

[Ancient Ruins Beasts: One of the top 100 races, belonging to the Void Beast Civilization. This race can pass the Jade Purity Realm in three months, and their Heavenly Veins are opened.]

Mountain Giants: One of the top 100 races, belonging to the Giant Civilization, their bodies are so powerful that they can rival pure-blooded dragons.

After searching using virtual intelligence and repeatedly reducing the number of races, thirteen races were finally left. They all share a common characteristic: special celestial veins and powerful physical bodies.

In particular, the Ancient Ruins Beasts reached the Perfect Jade Purity Realm in just three months. This race is very famous and powerful, and is one of the five god-level races of the Void Beast Civilization.

He collected this information to test its racial characteristics and see if it would promote his cultivation in the Jade Purity Realm.

If he can find this characteristic, he can quickly cultivate to the Jade Uncarved Perfection stage!
