Chapter 222: Breakthrough, Early-Stage Dao Comprehension Realm

Chapter 222: Breakthrough, Early-Stage Dao Comprehension Realm

Jiang Chen thought to himself, 'I must hurry to the Lustrous Yang Domain now.'

'Yet, the power of the Purple Heaven Immortal Martial Sword... it hasn't fully recovered.'

'In addition, after utilizing the Purple Heaven Immortal Martial Sword, it requires immediate return to its formation for recuperation.'

'If deployed for combat, it can likely withstand only a single grand battle before it endures root damage.'

'Thus, the Purple Heaven Immortal Martial Sword must stay within the Holy Land as a deterrent, also providing a defense against the unlikely event of a Nether Demon invasion.'

With determination setting in, he stood up, his eyes reflecting deep contemplation, 'However, before I set off, I need to amplify my strength. The key to success is preparation; power is the supreme principle!'

Without a moment's hesitation, he looked at the spiritual plant in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth in one swift motion!

Gulp!

The spiritual plant slid down his throat, its powerful medicinal energy detonating instantly, congregating in his dantian, and absorbed by the Burning World Red Lotus.

This time, Ji Mingxiu had exchanged a substantial quantity of spiritual plants with the Jade Lake Heavenly Temple and the Imperial Extreme Heavenly Palace, and eventually even took over the Imperial Extreme Heavenly Palace itself.

As a consequence, the quality and quantity of the spiritual plants Jiang Chen received greatly exceeded the previous two occasions.

Almost instantly, the third and fourth petals of the Burning World Red Lotus gradually reclaimed their lushness and vibrant hue.

The first two petals had even fully restored to their original state!

Jiang Chen also reaped substantial gains.

His already exceptionally exceptional cultivation aptitude had once again been amplified!

Crucially, his cultivation base was skyrocketing, almost hitting the bottleneck of the Dao Comprehension realm.

Without a moment's break, Jiang Chen continued his relentless consumption of spiritual plants.

Simultaneously, through his Eternal Vows Binding Ring, he shared the situation with his beloved women in a subdued tone.

Certain subjects were too sensitive to be discussed openly, and he needed to explain his abrupt departure from the Everflowing Truth Domain.

Once they understood, Jiang Chen introduced a topic that had been occupying his thoughts for a while.

He finally introduced them to Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning, though it was only through their voices.

This fostered not only mutual recognition, but with the help of Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning, two Void Tribulation realm powerhouses, his wives were now in a position to make significant advancements in their cultivation journey.

Having set these events into motion, Jiang Chen let the group get to know each other while he withdrew his consciousness from the Eternal Vows Binding Ring.

Continuing to ingest his spiritual plants, he then exited his meditation room, left the three-story building, and set out to find Ji Mingxiu.

...

The moment Jiang Chen set eyes on Ji Mingxiu, he swiftly scanned him using the Villain's Eye.

Just as expected, Ji Mingxiu's status had once again transitioned to 'supporting character'!

What's more, his Fate Value, which had substantially recovered and even exceeded its prior level, had plummeted yet again, barely hovering around seven hundred points.

This mirrored the ability of Rong Tianlu, who, in the past, had invoked the Great Dao of Darkness with just a thought. His force descended upon the Holy Land without him needing to be physically present or uttering a single word.

Of course, this implied a significantly more powerful level!

In the Second Step of the Cultivation Path, the Inquiring Journey realm served as the foundation for the Dao Comprehension realm, which was primarily focused on decoding the Great Dao.

However, to evolve into the Dao Palace realm, a cultivator would generally need to fully understand at least one Great Dao.

Partial understanding of the Great Dao would not be enough; without a complete comprehension, progression was unattainable!

At this point, Jiang Chen, having mastered the entire Great Dao of Fire and the subsidiary Sword Dao known as the Swift Sword Dao, had effectively removed the main barrier to enter the Dao Palace realm.

Moreover, this significant leap boosted his combat capabilities.

After all, Jiang Chen had practiced nearly ten cultivation methods from the Dao Palace realm, not to mention countless others from the Dao Comprehension and Inquiring Journey realms.

The power of these cultivation methods had previously been restrained due to his realm limitations, unable to exhibit their full potential.

However, with Jiang Chen's significant breakthrough, these cultivation methods were now suddenly amplified!

'System! Display my information panel!' With a mere thought, Jiang Chen commanded the system.
