287: Chapter 234 287: Chapter 234 Jiang Tang created another barrier in the room before he entered the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space with peace of mind.
When Eryao saw Jiang Tang, his eyes were filled with resentful longing, “Daddy, you must have had lots of fun outside, not even bringing me along.”
“Eryao, you are daddy’s secret weapon, of course others can’t know about you.
What if someone steals you away?”
“What?
Am I just your weapon?
That’s so heartbreaking.”
Eryao had already transformed; he was a little boy before and now had become a young teenager.
“Moo…” Green Ox rubbed against Jiang Tang with a coquettish expression.
The previously slender Green Ox’s body had become robust, and its ox eyes enlarged.
“You dead ox, trying to compete with me for affection, asking for a beating, aren’t you?” Eryao smacked the ox on the head.
“Eryao, why are you bullying Green Ox again?”
“How can daddy accuse me of bullying her?
Every time we work, I do the most.
This ox is even more useless than a pig, forget it, I don’t want to talk about it.
How can this ox compare to me?”
Eryao’s proud demeanor made Jiang Tang laugh, and he soothed Eryao by patting his head.
“Eryao, daddy’s going over to the sun to cultivate a bit.”
“Daddy, I knew you didn’t come here to see us.
You only talk about cultivating as soon as you’re here, hmph!”
Eryao rolled his eyes, turned his head away from Jiang Tang, and pretended to be angry.
“Eryao, you are the most well-behaved.
Daddy believes you understand that we need to become strong quickly so we can ascend.”
Jiang Tang’s preachy behavior made Eryao pout even more.
“Humph, daddy is always with the beauties, never with us.
Now it’s all about cultivation again, you clearly don’t have us in your heart.”
“Moo moo”
“Dead ox, you think I’m right too, don’t you?”
“Moo moo”
Jiang Tang shook his head at them and no longer listened to their conversation, leaping towards the sun.
“Daddy…”
Eryao didn’t expect Jiang Tang to ignore his coquetry now, and he sulked even more.
Jiang Tang went to the sun to cultivate; it was still the same sun as before.
Just like earlier, he utilized the Golden Crystal within the sun for his cultivation.
The wine he had consumed before was pressing down the spiritual energy inside his body.
After sitting down and relaxing, the spiritual energy circulated throughout his body.
Jiang Tang placed his hands on the golden soil of the Solar Golden Crystal, executing the Star-absorbing Spell.
The Golden Crystal inside the sun began to thin out, and the spiritual energy in Jiang Tang’s body expanded, inflating his form like a giant balloon.
The tremendous spiritual energy within clashed chaotically, causing him discomfort, as he stored the energy in all parts of his body.
As he continued to store the energy, his body didn’t shrink, the swelling didn’t ease.
Jiang Tang could only focus his energy, channeling the spiritual energy towards the latter barrier of the Ocean Wheel.
Such a powerful impact of spiritual energy meant he didn’t need to exert much effort as the barriers of the later phase of the Ocean Wheel opened, and the swelling in his body still hadn’t subsided.
The powerful spiritual energy automatically surged towards the Great Perfection of the Ocean Wheel.
“Bang bang bang”
Jiang Tang felt as if he was breaking through some barriers, the sounds resonating within him, as the protections of the Ocean Wheel’s Great Perfection were breached.
Before Jiang Tang could feel any relief from breaking the body’s barriers, he knew that it wasn’t just the power of the Golden Crystal at play, but also the strength of the wine he had drunk before.
Plus, in the past few days, he had visited different places; though he hadn’t engaged in cultivation techniques, the Star-absorbing Spell had automatically operated, filling his Dantian with a surplus of spiritual energy.
As Jiang Tang sensed the barriers of the Spirit Mansion thinning, when consolidating his cultivation, the powerful aura within his body automatically struck against the defenses of the Spirit Mansion.
Realizing this, Jiang Tang felt a rush of excitement.
To reach the cultivation of the Spirit Mansion in the Cultivation World could perhaps count as being a great power.
If he could reach this stage, he would have nothing to fear from the insidious schemes of others.
Jiang Tang felt even more that in the future he wouldn’t need to suffer bullying or flatter anyone, as long as he had enough strength within himself.
He didn’t believe his current cultivation level was already strong; he needed to work even harder.
The many people who sought to please him now did so only because of his ability to concoct Supreme Elixirs.
If anyone wished to use him, to confine him and exploit his ability to create elixirs for their purposes, he would become nothing more than a tool for others to craft their pills.
Even with his space and other secrets, he dared not confidently believe he was invincible.
He knew there were many powerful existences above the Spirit Mansion stage in the Cultivation World, so he didn’t dare to be too proud.
Jiang Tang was only distracted for a moment; his bodily functions did not require his attention to operate.
He cultivated alone, and though it seemed like there was only one of him, in fact, there were more; his two avatars also cultivated with him.
One person became three, absorbing powerful Spiritual Energy, a situation others did not have.
Jiang Tang could feel that the avatar which had been concocting pills in the space had already returned to the Sea of Consciousness.
The other avatar that had gone to protect the Jiang Family Head seemed to sense the call of its master and had already entered his body while he was cultivating with the sun.
“Bang Bang”
Jiang Tang began to feel a crack forming in the shield of the Spirit Mansion as the expanding Spiritual Energy within his body entered through this fissure.
Jiang Tang started to feel discomfort from the swelling in his body, but then it slowly began to ease, and his body started to slim down.
“Bang”
The Spirit Mansion shield finally burst open, and all the Spiritual Energy within Jiang Tang’s body rushed into the breach.
Jiang Tang felt comfortable all over as the shield of the Spirit Mansion opened up.
This was not just an improvement in cultivation, but also his Sea of Consciousness clone had become stronger—early Spirit Mansion stage, mid Spirit Mansion stage.
Jiang Tang saw his Sea of Consciousness clone was even stronger than his main body, with another avatar slightly weaker than that one, but at the same Spirit Mansion stage as his own cultivation.
Jiang Tang thought with joy that anyone who wished to plot against him would have to think twice, for he was one man standing as three.
And he had so many secret weapons, hehehe!
Jiang Tang happily thought to himself, in the Cultivation World, surely no one would dare to bully him again!
If anyone dared to provoke him, he would ensure they would not see the sun the following day.
Jiang Tang then consolidated his cultivation; the thinning Golden Crystal had begun to recover once more.
It was a seemingly inexhaustible resource, and Jiang Tang was a bit afraid that one day the space might disappear, leaving him without such excellent resources.
No, he must transfer the best resources of this space into the space within his body, where no one else could steal them.
Jiang Tang collected some of the Golden Crystals from the sun into the space within his body.
He had ascended two minor steps and one major step, doubling the size of his internal space, while the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space had also doubled.
Many lands had become available, and new rivers and mountains had emerged.
Jiang Tang found that when he placed the Golden Crystals into his body’s space, which previously lacked a sun, collecting some Golden Crystals induced them to slowly form a circle that rose into the sky of the space.
The circle began to emit golden light and slowly formed something like a real sun, radiating warm light.
As the sun began to change, Jiang Tang felt surprised and delighted.
He now had a sun within his space, and with its rays shining down, it seemed as if the products of the space improved and the Spiritual Energy grew stronger.
Jiang Tang observed his internal space under the sunlight, where all living things bloomed like in springtime.
His previously sparse land now featured rivers, mountains, and even a spring-like small lake.
Jiang Tang had not bathed in the lake for many days; previously, in the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space, he, Eryao, and Green Ox had all enjoyed themselves there.
He had been too busy these days to indulge in the pleasure of soaking in a bath.
Now was the perfect time to try the sensation of soaking in this spring-like bath, noticing a slight odd scent on him, which turned out to be impurities seeping out from his body.
Jiang Tang entered his body’s space and jumped into the hot spring.
Immersed in the hot spring water, every pore of his body absorbed the moisture.
His skin, already fair, benefitted from the bath in the spring, and the process just now had drawn out even the slightest of impurities.
Jiang Tang lounged in the lake, the naturally formed hot spring had tiny fish that gently kissed his skin as if caressing him.
Opening his eyes to look at the fish, he felt them free of malice, as if they were tenderly touching him.
The little fish continuously opened their mouths as if they were eating something.
