I Just Want to Live Peacefully
Chapter 21: The Purple House That Never Been Before

Jiang Ming activated his Great Formation so that he would not be disturbed.

Next, he placed the two Leaves of Brightening Tea without swallowing it. Natural liquid dripped down his throat into his stomach, immediately refreshing his mind. With that, he was extremely focused as his brain began to process information at a high speed.

He cleared his mind of disturbing thoughts and began cultivating the Great Way Almighty Method Sutra. After many trials, he became familiar with silk. He activated his cultivation method and brought his Golden Core into the nine-story pagoda, crossed the bridges of heaven and earth, and smashed it into the ocean wall of his consciousness.

It's thundering!

It sounded as if it was rumbling in his mind as he continued pushing against the ocean wall of his consciousness. Unfortunately, the ocean wall of his consciousness barely shook. He's still some way to break it.

“System, extract 20 years of cultivation.”

Jiang Ming was not discouraged. With just a thought, numerous streams surged from his dantian. The mana was so pure that it seemed to come from nature itself. It gave his Golden Core a new wave of power as it tried to destroy the wall again.

The ocean wall of his consciousness trembled again.

The explosion!

With the sound of an explosion, cracks began to form on the walls.

“System, extract 50 years of cultivation!” Jiang Ming roared inwardly.

His dantian grew, threatening to explode. He hurriedly used the Supreme Path Almighty Method Sutra to control mana. He quickly swallowed the two leaves in his mouth to improve his mind. It helped him calm down and stabilize his mind.

“Again!” Jiang Ming roared like a dragon. He was so focused at this moment that he did not realize that he had floated. The air within a foot of him started to distort with ripples as he emitted a strange light. A terrifying power raged within a foot of him with the power of mountains and roaring seas.

If not for the System's concealment function, countless visions would have materialized around him, warning the experts of the Jiuyang Sect about his true abilities.

At this moment, there was 70 years worth of mana in his body. This was equivalent to the mana an ordinary cultivator would gather after cultivating for three or four centuries. Mana surged and crashed into the ocean wall of his consciousness like tens of thousands of warhorses galloping across the battlefield. It was really a sight to see.

He knew he had reached an important stage. He did not proceed carefully, his sea of consciousness would break apart. If he was lucky, he would lose his mental ability; if he was unlucky, he would instantly die.

Normally, an elder would supervise a cultivator at this stage. However, Jiang Ming was not worried that no one was watching him. After all, he had Enlightening Tea Leaves to clear his mind, focus his mind, and strengthen his will. Coupled with the Supreme Path Almighty Method Sutra, he firmly held back the flow of mana.

After he broke the ocean wall of his consciousness, it resembled a world in its infancy where chaos and void ruled. However, in just a few moments, a sudden change and violence occurred. Heaven and earth parted ways as things began to take shape.

His ocean of consciousness expanded rapidly as it absorbed mana. It was a quick and intense process. It is also an important part of the process. The breakthrough moment to the Purple Mansion Realm was an important moment for the sea of consciousness to evolve. His foundation, potential, and energy would explode and help him expand his sea of consciousness as well. If he stopped now, it would be difficult for him to expand his sea of consciousness in the future. It is almost impossible to do without luck.

At this moment, Jiang Ming was feeling a little nervous. He used the extreme conditions of the Golden Core to strengthen his foundation. He can't help himself now. After all, the expansion of his sea of consciousness would have an impact on his future.

As he maintained his cultivation method, his sea of consciousness continued to greedily absorb mana to evolve. Even his Golden Core dissolved in the space that emerged from this void. His mana will soon dry up.

Normally, a cultivator would swallow a medicinal pill at a time like this to strengthen themselves. This was the advantage of being part of a large sect. However, Jiang Ming did not intend to rely on pills.

“System, extract 20 years of cultivation.”

With this, a mana wave appeared in his sea of consciousness again. It was so vast that he could not tell which one was up or down, or left or right. All he could see was a gray that stretched forever.

When a mana wave appears, it is directly distributed to four angles and eight poles.

“System, extract 20 years of cultivation again!”

Jiang Ming's mind became overdrive. He maintained his cultivation method as he watched for changes in his sea of consciousness. He noticed that when it expanded,

It's wide and wide here. He did not know which way was up or down, or left or right. All he could see was an endless gray wisp. The moment the mana burst appeared, it was immediately distributed to the four corners and eight poles.

“System, extract 20 years where else!”

At this moment, his body also underwent a dramatic change. Towards the end, he channeled half of the mana bursts into his body to intensify the changes in his body.

Within his sea of consciousness, his mana nature also increased. It underwent a great and sublimating change, giving rise to a turbulent mana wave.

…

When dawn came, the eastern sky began to clear. It did not take long for the sun to appear and illuminate the land.

Jiang Ming left his room and went to the roof to look at the sun in the east. He stretched out his hand and smiled, thinking of the bright future in front of him. At this moment, he had an otherworldly atmosphere about him that seemed inviolable. He looked like an immortal being that had descended into the mortal realm.

He finally broke through to the Purple Mansion Realm and managed to expand his sea of consciousness. With this, he was now on the path of longevity.

“Right now, I can obliterate my 81st Extreme Gold Core with just one punch.”

This was not something he had thought of all of a sudden after breaking through. That's an honest comparison.

He had no idea how powerful an 81st Extreme Gold Core cultivator was before. All he knew was that he was capable of killing a veteran Purple Mansion cultivator with a single strike from his Great Akasa Formless Sword Qi. He knew he could kill his master in a single breath as well. One could only imagine how powerful, almost absurd, he was now.

“It feels amazing to be so strong. It feels better than being massaged after soaking in a hot spring bath!” Jiang Ming smiled.

He checked himself again. Now that he had broken the wall of his sea of consciousness, it would be referred to as his heavenly Sea; the sea of heavenly powers, heavenly Source; the source of holy power, or Purple Mansion; the eternal abode.

Usually, the expansion of the ocean of consciousness is not overstated. The ordinary ocean of consciousness, which was the source of mana; the origin of the spirit; and the roots of the soul, would have a diameter of one meter.

If one's sea of consciousness stretched five meters, one would be considered a rare genius. The Ten Gifted Children of the Jiuyang Sect were distinguished by this.

On the other hand, only core disciples of large sects or Holy Lands had oceans of consciousness with a diameter of ten meters.

If one wanted a sea of consciousness with a diameter of 20 meters or more, they would have to have a unique bloodline, a God Body, or a Sacred Body.

According to the records in the sect, the limit of the Purple Mansion was only 100 meters.

Saying that, when Jiang Ming examined his sea of consciousness, he discovered that it had a diameter of 10,000 meters!

‘This is 100 times bigger than the recorded limit! It's just the diameter. What about the capacity? This is a finished ball..”.

After a while, Jiang Ming took a sharp breath. “It's one million times bigger ?!”

Jiang Ming could not believe it. “I may have reached the 81st extreme of the Golden Core Realm with the Great Way Almighty Method Sutra and have accumulated a deep strength, but isn't this too much?”

When he calmed down a little, he activated his cultivation method. The spiritual Qi in the surroundings instantly surged into his body and his Purple House where it was transformed into mana. It was so fast that he had to stop immediately.

At this point, it seemed more appropriate to call mana a holy power. Jiang Ming did not trouble himself with this. After all, they are just names.

Jiang Ming had noticed his body had been enraged until he was several times stronger than before.

He clenched his hand and heard a loud crack. He wanted to see how strong he was. Unfortunately, in the end, he had no choice but to ignore the idea because he could make too much of a fuss on the mountain.

Finally, he turned around and looked towards Zhiyang Peak. His hands could not help but itch when he thought of Yue Cheng.

He shook his head before he summoned the system to check the information.

He exclaimed in shock, “I get a new attribute!”
