The East Ridge and the Middle River were far away from each other . In addition, there was a huge space in the middle that didn’t have a teleportation device .
Jiang Chen decided to shuttle through the Void in order to reach their destination in a short time . However, considering that Tang Fan’s stage was very limited, the tearing strength of the Void would leave him in pieces .
Thus, Jiang Chen started to impart to his apprentice his thoughts and experiences while they were traveling .
Not every master could be a good teacher . Practicing yourself and teaching others were two entirely different matters . Jiang Chen had never had an apprentice before, but he understood the importance of tailoring teaching methods to a student’s aptitude .
Although Tang Fan had been a three-star master, unfortunately, he only had two types of Qi in his constellation palace: Xuan Ming Qi and Xuan Qing Qi .
He might’ve been somewhat accomplished in the Flying Dragon Dynasty, but in the Middle River, he was merely average .
Tang Fan was aware of his weakness . He cared more about his future than his current state .
“Master, with only two Qis, is it true that my Martial Dais won’t be high enough to become a martial-grade master?” Tang Fan asked, feeling frustrated .
“Yes . ” Jiang Chen was honest .
“Are the ultimate-level martial techniques and unique theurgies useless without a high level of Martial Dais?”
“Correct . ”
Tang Fan’s heart sank, yet he still didn’t want to give up . It was a cruel reality that by the time a person reached the Star Venerable stage, his future achievements could almost already be predicted .
Tang Fan was dispirited . Even with three Qis and the opportunity to be exposed to a unique theurgy after becoming a martial-grade master, the power and strength he could bring into full play would still be limited .
“Nevertheless, there are boundless possibilities in the world . Nothing will remain the same forever,” Jiang Chen said .
Tang Fan was greatly inspired by Jiang Chen’s words . He said with excitement, “Yes, I will rebel against what Heaven has given me and change my own fate . ”
Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile and said, “Changing your fate is fine . Yet it has nothing to do with rebelling against Heaven . Natural Law doesn’t pay any attention to us . ”
Grinning, Tang Fan asked Jiang Chen, “Master, you must have a way, right?”
“Yes, but the course is incredibly difficult . It’s even more dangerous than my challenging the Heaven thunders before . It all depends on if you’re willing to do it . ”
“Master, is it really dangerous, or are you only trying to make me take it seriously?” Tang Fan asked .
“I never play those kinds of tricks . Besides, things I consider dangerous are brutally terrifying to ordinary people .
Jiang Chen continued solemnly, “I can guarantee you a stable life because of your father . But if you want to become powerful, there is an unimaginable price that you will have to pay . ”
Looking at Jiang Chen’s unusually somber face, Tang Fan stopped joking around and started to struggle with his thoughts and emotions .
To become Jiang Chen’s apprentice had been absolutely glorious . Everything he’d wanted could be achieved easily . But being Jiang Chen’s apprentice had also put him under a lot of pressure .
With a master as glorious as Jiang Chen, he’d be ashamed of himself if he was too mediocre .
It took him less than three days to make a decision .
Tang Fan went to Jiang Chen and stated that he wanted to become better .
“Good . I have an unnamed method . The quintessence of it is to crack before making progress . Every time you’re injured, especially under life-threatening conditions, as long as you can recover from it, you’ll be able to transform yourself gradually .
“The place we just flew by seemed to me to be Sunset Mountain, one of the forbidden lands of the former Realm of Divine Martial Arts . I want you to practice there for a year . ”
“A year?” Tang Fan’s eyeballs almost fell out . A young guy from the East Ridge, he was going to stay a whole year in a forbidden land in the Middle River?
“No wonder you said it’s brutally terrifying . ” Tang Fan sighed with exasperation . Already prepared for any hardship, he didn’t argue with Jiang Chen’s plan .
After passing on his method to Tang Fan, Jiang Chen took him back to Sunset Mountain .
“Go ahead . You need to finish the path you’ve chosen, even if it means you have to crawl,” Jiang Chen said .
“Okay . ” Tang Fan nodded grimly .
“Here is a spiritual spell . If you really can’t hold on anymore, use it, and I’ll appear immediately . At the same time, it will mean that you have failed . ”
Looking at the spiritual spell, Tang Fan felt a little more relaxed . But his face remained grave after hearing Jiang Chen’s last sentence .
“These are elixirs I usually take and some other miscellaneous stuff that should be helpful to you . ”
Jiang Chen was not a sadist who would send Tang Fan up a mountain to die without any help .
Taking the spiritual spell and supplies, Tang Fan departed anxiously . He didn’t realize that Jiang Chen had shot a light into his body when he turned around .
After all, there were many dangerous situations when he wouldn’t have enough time to use that spiritual spell . Jiang Chen would never leave Tang Zhengyi without offspring .
In fact, he would rather make sure Tang Fan lived a safe and secure life with wealth and power . But Jiang Chen knew in his heart that it would destroy Tang Fan .
So he gave Tang Fan two paths so he could choose for himself .
“I hope you can accomplish remarkable achievements,” Jiang Chen thought to himself .
Soon after, he continued to fly toward the hinterlands of the Middle River .
Without Tang Fan, Jiang Chen picked up his speed and reached a major city that had a teleportation formation in a very short time .
“What a rich spiritual energy . ” Jiang Chen could feel the difference as soon as he arrived at the city . The spiritual energy was coming from the city, instead of from the universe .
Glancing around the city with his holy awareness, Jiang Chen saw that the people there were mostly of the Spirit Race .
There were Spirits with all kinds of attributes, and of course, humans and other races .
It meant that the land had Spirit tribes living within it .
“Could it be that the Spirits from the Three Middle Realms settled here?”
Jiang Chen landed in the city and prepared to find out what was going on .
Soon, he’d learned that not only the Spirits from the Three Middle Realms were here, but the entire vast Spirit Realm had also merged with this place .
It inevitably made Jiang Chen worry about Ye Xue’s Icy Spirit .
The Spirit Realm tended to strongly reject races whose spiritual power had mutated .
Nonetheless, after asking around a bit, Jiang Chen realized that the Icy Spirit was one of the strongest among all Spirits nowadays .
The current Spirit races were much different than they’d been three years ago . They’d been growing at a rapid rate with numerous Venerable Sovereigns who’d brought glory to them .
Ye Xue was already almost half a Venerable Sovereign .
Whenever other races mentioned Spirits, they all thought of Ye Xue immediately .
It was mostly because of her divinely beautiful face and unapproachable demeanor .
Someone had said, “The whole world paled in color any time Ye Xue smiled . ”
However, for three years now, no one had seen Ye Xue smile .
Some pursuers of Ye Xue had bet each other that whoever could make her laugh would be the winner .
Jiang Chen heard about all this in a teahouse .
“Do you know where this Ye Xue is currently?”
“Go west for 1,000 miles from the Hundred Spirits City . You will know you’ve arrived there when you see the first snow mountain,” the waiter who’d recounted the story about Ye Xue answered him right away .
“Good . ” Jiang Chen stood up, obviously wanting to go visit Ye Xue .
“Another fearless yet ignorant person . ” The waiter easily saw through Jiang Chen’s intentions, shaking his head lightly .
Countless people had wanted to win Ye Xue’s heart . They all returned disappointed .
The waiter definitely didn’t think the young man standing in front of him would be able to achieve anything, even though he exuded a pleasant feeling .
EHM? “Where is he?”
Suddenly, the waiter felt a breeze blew by him . Jiang Chen had disappeared .
