Chapter 240. After Slacking Off for Four Days During Vacation, I Broke Through to Martial God
Vacation always made people feel as if time passed especially quickly.
In the blink of an eye, only one day remained before the vacation ended.
“Brother Yichen, I am going to cultivate. I will keep you company later, all right?”
After preparing breakfast, Su Linyu spoke in a slightly cautious tone.
Jiang Yichen thought for a moment, then nodded. During the four-day vacation, aside from the first day when Su Linyu had stayed with him the whole time, she had spent the next three days mainly cultivating.
He had advised Su Linyu not to push herself so hard, but she was afraid that if she slacked off, the distance between them would grow wider and wider.
Jiang Yichen could only helplessly agree.
“Thank you, Brother Yichen. Then I will go—”
“Wait.” Jiang Yichen suddenly called out to Su Linyu.
Her steps paused, and she turned back.
“After breakfast, I will take you somewhere more suitable for cultivation.”
Jiang Yichen thought of the Divine Artifact, the Map of Mountains, Rivers, and the State, which he had obtained from the gift pack. It could create an exclusive cultivation ground for Su Linyu and provide ten times the cultivation speed.
“Really?” Curiosity filled Su Linyu’s eyes.
Jiang Yichen nodded and began eating breakfast.
After the meal, he used his spatial ability to bring Su Linyu to the summit of Kunlun Mountain.
As the home of the gods, the Spiritual Energy here was abundant. It was the best place to use the Map of Mountains, Rivers, and the State.
“Brother Yichen, should we go say hello to Sister Xue’er and the others?”
Su Linyu pointed toward the towering gate on the mountaintop that rose into the sea of clouds. It was the location of the Divine Battle Division.
Jiang Yichen shook his head. “You came here to cultivate, not to visit relatives.”
“Oh.” Su Linyu nodded obediently and followed Jiang Yichen to the peak of a mountain.
Jiang Yichen took out a long painting scroll. Green mountains and clear waters were painted on it.
What was miraculous was that the scroll actually hovered in the air on its own.
Jiang Yichen held a jade-green brush and lightly tapped the painting scroll. The surface of the scroll immediately released a halo of light.
Su Linyu’s eyes widened slightly. “Wow, Brother Yichen, what is this? It is so magical.”
“It is Perfected Taiyi’s Map of Mountains, Rivers, and the State from Huaxia mythology. Inside, it can help you create an exclusive cultivation ground. Your cultivation speed will be ten times faster than usual,” Jiang Yichen explained.
Perfected Taiyi’s Map of Mountains, Rivers, and the State?
Su Linyu revealed a surprised expression.
She had heard of this immortal artifact in the academy’s Huaxia mythology system class, but that was something from legend.
How did Brother Yichen have it?
Su Linyu could not quite understand. In the past, when Brother Yichen had taken out Ninth-Rank Magical Artifacts and Ninth-Rank Talismans, she had felt that the Jiang Family’s foundation exceeded imagination.
But now, he could even take out an immortal artifact from mythology. Just how absurd was her fiancé’s family background?
She did not quite dare imagine it. To be more precise, she could not imagine it at all.
This probably does not belong to the Jiang Family, Su Linyu denied inwardly, then thought of Perfected Yuding, who had appeared in the Guankou Divine Ruins.
In Huaxia mythology, Perfected Yuding was Perfected Taiyi’s senior brother.
Perfected Yuding had also addressed Brother Yichen as Fellow Daoist, so perhaps Perfected Yuding had given it to him.
Wow! An immortal actually gave Brother Yichen an immortal artifact. That was amazing.
Admiration appeared in Su Linyu’s eyes.
“Stop spacing out. Let us go in.” Jiang Yichen pinched her soft little cheek.
Su Linyu came back to her senses and examined the Map of Mountains, Rivers, and the State. “How do we enter?”
“Touch the scroll.”
Su Linyu obediently stretched out her hand. The instant she touched the scroll, a powerful attraction pulled her into the painting.
Jiang Yichen then entered the scroll as well.
After a wave of dizziness from spatial travel passed, the scene before them made both their eyes light up.
Looking into the distance, a gentle bluestone path wound upward along the mountain. Towering ancient trees lined the road, their branches and leaves interweaving like a dome. Vines slithered along the trunks like living snakes.
With just one glance, Jiang Yichen felt that the beautiful scenery he had seen before was nothing special.
He raised his hand, and the Landscape-Commanding Brush in his hand lightly swept through the air. The emerald mountain range before them instantly disappeared, and the entire painting style changed abruptly.
The green mountains were replaced by crimson cliffs. Samadhi True Fire spewed from the gaps in the cliffs, while a river of lava churned in the valley below. Crimson magma carried sparks as it splashed and flew.
Su Linyu looked at this miraculous scene, her little mouth slightly open in great surprise.
“Cultivate here. This place contains Samadhi True Fire, which will be very beneficial for your cultivation,” Jiang Yichen said with a smile.
Su Linyu nodded heavily and said firmly, “I definitely will not betray Brother Yichen’s expectations. I will work ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times... harder and strive to catch up with Brother Yichen so I can help you do more things.”
Jiang Yichen burst out laughing. “Can you not work hard for your own sake? Can you think a little more about yourself?”
“But Brother Yichen is more important to me than myself,” Su Linyu said with a sweet smile.
Jiang Yichen felt helpless. “All right, all right. Cultivate. I will wait for you outside.”
Wait for me? In the past, I was always the one waiting for Brother Yichen.
Su Linyu secretly rejoiced. She nodded, then sat cross-legged on the crimson cliff and released Crimson Radiant Flame, merging it with the Samadhi True Fire spewing from the cliff.
Jiang Yichen watched for a while. Seeing that nothing unexpected happened, he left the Map of Mountains, Rivers, and the State.
As soon as he came out, his Mental Perception clearly sensed that the Map of Mountains, Rivers, and the State was madly absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Energy at a terrifying speed.
If this had been placed in the East China Military District, with the density of Spiritual Energy there, it would probably have been difficult for it to operate at all.
Jiang Yichen took a recliner out of his Spatial Bag and looked out at the Kunlun sea of clouds level with him.
He casually reached into the void and grabbed. An Eight-Treasure Chicken raised by the Divine Battle Division’s livestock department appeared in his hand.
With great familiarity, he plucked its feathers, set up a fire, and roasted it without needing any seasoning.
It had to be said that ever since he had caught one and tasted it last time, he had become somewhat fond of the flavor.
Combined with the unique atmosphere of an outdoor picnic, it increased one’s appetite even more.
Jiang Yichen lay on the recliner, waiting for the roasted chicken to cook through.
After all, there was nothing more comfortable than lying down.
【Ding! Congratulations, Host. Your realm has broken through to the Martial God Realm. The breakthrough process is now being transmitted to the Host...】
Hm?
Jiang Yichen abruptly sat up from the recliner. He had been having so much fun these past few days that he had completely forgotten. Today happened to be the fourth day, the day when his automatic cultivation would break through to the Martial God Realm.
All right. I admit it. There is one thing more comfortable than lying down: freeloading a breakthrough to the Martial God Realm.
BOOM!
Suddenly, a thunderclap split the sunny cloud sea. The sky gradually darkened, and black clouds churned across the heavens.
Joy appeared on Jiang Yichen’s face.
The Martial God Realm had finally arrived.
