Jiang Ming was relieved now that his little sister had returned. At this moment, he was lying on a rocking chair and admiring the starry sky.

His junior sister lay beside him with a smile on her face as she swung the recliner.

Meanwhile, their master, Gu Hai, was standing at the top of the main building with his hands folded on his back while gazing into the distance.

Jiang Ming and Gu Hai did not ask about what had happened to Zi Linglong over the past three months. After all, he had just returned, and they had plenty of time to ask him in the future.

At this moment, Jiang Ming also experienced the spoils of his battle with Bai Yu and the old man. He was a bit surprised when he looked through them. He did not expect the Mana Sealing Chess Board to be an extremely rare top-tier Dao Ship. However, he was even more surprised to find that the chessboard did not increase the physical strength of its owner at all. Only now did he realize Bai Yu was bluffing. Clearly, Bai Yu was trying to intimidate him with her lies.

The Mana Sealing Chess Board only had one function: it could pull opponents into it to duel using only their physical strength. One cannot leave until one dies. There is no limit to the number of people who can enter the chessboard.

Jiang Ming shook his head. ‘The person who created this must have something wrong with his head!’

The Mana Sealing Chess Board not only did not increase the strength of its owner, but it would not even protect its owner. All it does is pull people into it for a life or death fight. Perhaps, to others, it might be useless, but it was quite useful to Jiang Ming. After all, even he did not know the limits of his body and physical strength.

Jiang Ming nodded in satisfaction.

Thanks to the Great Way Almighty Method Sutra, there was not much he needed to do, but his body would constantly be furious. Moreover, his body would undergo a transformation every time he comprehended Sambodha and formed the Seed Dao. If he had to guess, he would say that his body and physical strength were not weaker than his cultivation base.

‘Mana Sealing Chess Board is rather useful to me..’ Jiang Ming thought to himself after various means of using the chessboard appeared in his mind.

‘See, System, my battle booty is much better than the reward you gave me!’

Unfortunately, he did not receive a response from the system.

Apart from the Mana Sealing Chessboard, Sky Shattering Hammer, Golden Obsidian, Heaven Suppression Cauldron, and other items, he was most satisfied with the Sky Rending Sword, which was a middle-class Dao Vessel. After all, neither the Purple Cloud nor the Blue Crystal could handle the power of the Sword Qi Without the Great Akasa Shape. For this reason, offensive power is greatly reduced. However, with the Sky Rending Sword, the problem was solved.

The 108 swords that Bai Yu used to form her sword Formation were all Artifacts from a complete set.

‘As expected of the Holy Son of the Holy Land! He's really rich! Just his wealth alone was enough to make me rich. With his own possessions, I fear that no one in Jiuyang Sect is as rich as me.’

Needless to say, he obtained many medicinal pills, spirit crystals, rare items from Bai Yu as well.

Moreover, he had also obtained three special abilities from Bai Yu's storage ring. The first one was called the Three-fold Astral Transformation. In the first stage, a person can increase his height by 333 cm and double his strength. In the second stage, a person can increase his height by 666 cm and double his strength again, which is four times stronger than before. In the third stage, a person can increase his height by 999 cm and double his strength again, which is eight times stronger than the original.

Unfortunately for Bai Yu, she had only mastered it until the first stage. Otherwise, Jiang Ming would have to expend more power to kill him.

The second special ability was the Nine Heavenly Cannon. When Zhang Fan used it to fight against his heavenly Nine Treasures Mountain, it was able to destroy his heavenly mountain with just a single strike.

The third special ability was the Orbital Sword Formation. Bai Yu had used 108 swords to form a Formation, and Jiang Ming was somewhat impressed.

Overall, with these three special abilities in his arsenal, his attacks would be more flexible.

Jiang Ming continued to absorb the cultivation he received from the daily rewards. However, he had not used 3,000 years of cultivation since he planned to use it while breaking through to the next realm.

Jiang Ming did not desperately need mana. What he needs is more specialized abilities and to understand Sambodha.

He had used a lot of Brightening Tea Leaves. However, since he was rewarded with them every day, he still had 12 left. As for the Enlightenment Stone, he had yet to use any of them.

At this moment, Zi Longlong turned to his side and placed his head in his hands as he looked at Jiang Ming. Then, he said, “Senior sister, home is the best place in the world. I feel safe here.”

“Of course! There is no better place than someone's home in the world!” Jiang Ming said with a smile, “So don't just run away from home again, understand?”

The duo continued to chat.

Jiang Ming was happy that his younger sister's treatment of him had not changed at all even though he had broken through to the Dao Seed Realm. In other words, his little sister still loved him very much, and no one could take it away from him.

…

When the sky started to clear, Jiang Ming got up and started to prepare breakfast.

This time, he served breakfast on the roof. They eat breakfast while enjoying the morning breeze and beautiful mountain views.

“This is great, Senior Brother!” Zi Linglong exclaimed before he continued, “When I leave, the thing I miss the most is your cooking!”

“Good. I'll prepare the food for you, and you store it in your spatial ring before you leave the Mountain next time. With that, you will be able to eat the food I made even if you leave, ” Jiang Ming said lovingly.

“You're the best, Senior Brother!”

At this moment, Gu Hai who had been quietly putting down his chopsticks and asked, “What about me? Why are you talking as if I've never taken care of you before?”

“Mastered! I'm talking about food!” Zi Linglong said with a laugh, “After such a long time, you only cooked for us a few times!”

Jiang Ming chimed, “Master, I don't mean to be rude, but your cooking is really ... not tasty ..”

“Continue? Didn't I still manage to raise you two?” Gu Hai sneered. Then, his expression suddenly turned serious before he said, “Tell me about everything that happened.”

Linglong nodded. He started by telling how he and the other disciples met with the demon cultivators before he was separated from them. He said that he accidentally discovered the secret tomb when he escaped. Since there were many treasures there, he decided to spend his time cultivating there.

Story simple. He did not tell his master about his encounter with Bai Yu or Bai Haiti, the flood dragon. After all, he did not want his master to worry too much about him.

After listening to Zi Linglong, Gu Hai exclaimed in shock and disbelief, “What?! You have entered the Dao Seed Realm ?! ”

“It was amazing, Junior Sister!” Jiang Ming exclaimed, trying his best to look surprised.

“Thank you!” Linglong said, grinning from ear to ear. Then, he took out a medicinal pill and handed it to Gu Hai while saying, “Master, this is the Divine Purple Mansion Pill. I've heard you ruined your Purple House in the past. Perhaps, this pill might be able to repair the damage.”

“Pil Divine Purple Mansion?” Gu Hai's eyes widened in shock. His hand trembled as he reached out to take the pill before he asked, “Are you sure this is the Heavenly Purple House Pill?”

Zi Linglong nodded. “I'm sure!”

“Until now, this medicinal pill has only existed in legends. Many people have been looking for him, but they cannot find him. I don't expect my students to find him in the end! This is a blessing! I really did not make a mistake accepting you as my disciple! Thank you very much, Linglong!” Gu Hai said with a happy laugh.

“Don't mention it, Master! Without you, I wouldn't even be sitting here!”

“Very good, very good! Linglong, you have grown into a good young woman,” Gu Hai said happily. However, his tone turned serious as he continued to say, “However, aside from the Sect Master and some First Chairs, don't tell anyone about your current cultivation base.”

“Why?” Linglong asked as he tilted his head slightly.

Gu Hai sighed before saying, “The story is long. Do you remember Momo? As it turned out, he was a spy from the Bishui Sect. To think he has been with us for a long time, and the Bishui Sect has just moved to Hai Province. How long have they been planning this? After all, we don't know if there are any other spies in the sect so it's best to keep a low profile. You might attract jealousy and hatred if you reveal your Cultivation Base. You managed to break through to the Dao Seed Realm after cultivating only three months in the secret tomb. We absolutely cannot allow anyone about such a heaven-defying feat. ”

“Hah? Senior Brother Momo is a spy? But ...” Linglong sighed heavily. After a while, he nodded and solemnly said, “You are right, Master. I will make sure to keep my cultivation base a secret. ”

Inwardly, Zi Linglong thought, ‘This is strange. Why was she exposed so early?’

Jiang Ming asked, “Do you know of any techniques to hide your cultivation base?”

“Yes! I learned a special ability that could help me hide my cultivation base. I am sure that even cultivators who are two realms in front of me will not be able to detect my true cultivation base, ” Zi Linglong replied.

“That's great,” said Jiang Ming. Then, he turned to Gu Hai and said, “Master, I think Sect Master already knows enough about Junior Sister's cultivation base. No need for anyone else to know. After all, the more people who knew about it, the more dangerous it was. The three of us, for example. We are like a family, and there are no secrets between us. Although some First Chairs are trustworthy, I'm afraid they won't take care of their students and will reveal Junior Sister's cultivation base to them. At that time, the matter would no longer be a secret. ”

“You have a point. We are really similar; you are just as careful as me!” Gu Hai said as he stroked his beard.

“This is all thanks to your teachings,” replied Jiang Ming.

Linglong just lowered his head and laughed a little.
