Indeed, Post-Heaven magical treasures possess a spiritual nature. After Jiang Xiaobai scolded the two of them, they slowed down the rate at which they devoured spirit stones.
Of course, this slow rate was in comparison to their previous voracious consumption. In reality, the effect isn’t much different – they still managed to devour over 15 million top-grade spirit stones in no time at all.
While consuming these spirit stones would significantly enhance their powers, Jiang Xiaobai felt a heartache each time he looked at these two wastrels.
What made him more heartbroken was that he had no idea how many top-grade spirit stones would be needed for them to completely break free from the suppression of this world.
He figured it would be a very long process, so Jiang Xiaobai decided to keep searching for spirit stone mines.
Only this way could his combat power improve significantly. Especially after he achieved Transcendence, he would be able to use the Pagoda. Then, his combat power would undergo a qualitative change.
Everything seemed to be developing in a good direction.
Then, Jiang Xiaobai placed the remaining over 5 million spirit stones in front of him and began absorbing them using Kunpeng Swallowing Sky Skill.
Instantly, a terrifying suction enveloped the spirit stones. His absorption speed was comparable to those two bottomless pit gluttons!
In less than ten minutes, all the spirit stones were completely consumed!
However, Jiang Xiaobai’s strength hadn’t broken through, but only grew a little bit.
That’s right, over 5 million top-grade spirit stones only resulted in a slight increase in cultivation level!
“This is absolutely ridiculous!”
Jiang Xiaobai gritted his teeth with frustration. It seemed like hundreds of millions of spirit stones might not even be enough to help him break through to the state of comprehensive completion.
“I better gather more spirit stones first. Then I can fully absorb and feel more satisfied.’
As Jiang Xiaobai collected the Post-Heaven magical treasures and prepared to continue seeking spirit stone mines, a large group of individuals suddenly appeared in the sky. They were all clad in silver armor, and the man leading them was all too familiar to Jiang Xiaobai.
It was the silver-armored man who had attacked him in Four Seas City!
Upon seeing Jiang Xiaobai by the lake, a ferocious expression appeared on Zheng Xiong’s face. He was still feeling humiliated due to Jiang Xiaobai, which drew mockery from others.
Just thinking about that day made Zheng Xiong want to capture Jiang Xiaobai alive and flay him alive.
“Damned Jiang Bai, where will you run this time!”
With a yell, Zheng Xiong materialised a long spear in his hand and directed it at Jiang Xiaobai.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai nearly popped out his eyeballs.
A large group of silver-armored warriors, all in the Transcendence stage, with more than ten in the late Transcendence stage. Jiang Xiaobai practically vomited blood.
While his power was formidable, he didn’t think he stood a chance against so many Transcendence stage experts, let alone the ones in the late Transcendence stage!
“Congratulations, host! You have triggered a choice!”
“Option one: Run away and get rewarded with a ten minutes comprehensive completion stage experience card.”
“Option two: Fight against the Thousand Yuan Dynasty’s strong individuals and get rewarded with A Strand of Merit.”
“Option three: Sit down for a tea chat session and get rewarded with a hundred years of cultivation.”
Looking at these choices, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t hesitate and chose to run away.
What kind of joke is having a tea chat with them? If these guys were to catch him, he would be lucky to survive. Sitting down for a tea is simply dreaming.
As Jiang Xiaobai started running away, he received the system reward immediately. Seeing the experience card in his storage space, he felt slightly relieved.
“Thief, where do you think you’re going!” Zheng Xiong roared and chased after him.
The forested area witnessed a scene where Jiang Xiaobai was fleeing in front and a large group of silver-armored warriors were chasing him. It was indeed quite a spectacle.
If someone were to witness this scene at this moment, they would be completely stunned.
What unforgivable crimes had Jiang Xiaobai committed to be chased by so many powerful individuals of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty?
“Dammit, I’ve explained hundreds of times about what happened back then. It was clearly a problem on your Thousand Yuan Dynasty’s city lord’s part, why chase after me?”
Jiang Xiaobai, who was running in front, roared.
From behind, Zheng Xiong sneered, “Attacking a person of the dynasty deserves death, no ifs, ands, or buts, you damn mutt! I’ve got you now, and I’ll beat you to death without mercy!”
Jiang Xiaobai obviously didn’t take such words seriously, but he knew he couldn’t keep running like this. The people behind him were all in a state of Transcendence, no matter how well he can run, could he outrun them?
There was simply no comparison in terms of speed, he would be caught soon enough.
“Damn it, have the guts to fight me one on one!” Jiang Xiaobai shouted out.
“Are you an idiot, or do you take me for one? Why would I fight you one on one when I have all these men?” Zheng Xiong retorted with a cold laugh.
In reality, he was also scared. He was no match for Jiang Xiaobai in a one-on-one battle. If not for his speed, Jiang Xiaobai would most likely shatter his protection in a prolonged fight.
With all the followers of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty around, if he were to lose, the humiliation would be intolerable. He, Zheng Xiong, couldn’t handle such disgrace.
“Congratulations, host, you have triggered a choice.”
“Choice one: Continue to flee, reward: ten years of practice.”
“Choice two: Obliterate all pursuers, reward: fifty years of practice.” “Choice three: Find a way to negotiate, reward: a hundred years of practice.” Jiang Xiaobai squinted his eyes, not making any choices right away. He had noticed a crucial matter, a pattern.
The system only presents choices under certain circumstances.
Normally, choices won’t simply appear while he’s sitting idly, triggering these choices has conditions.
With the system generating choices as soon as he encountered Zheng Xiong and his men, and now again, could it be…
“The first choice!”
Jiang Xiaobai roared inwardly, continuing to run for his life. Instantly, he received the reward, and his practice increased by ten years.
At this point, his power level broke through the stagnant phase. Now, he had reached the peak of the Yuan Infant stage!
Bang! Jiang Xiaobai felt a sudden clarity flood his mind.
All over his body, ecstasy coursed through him!
This was the hidden fourth stage, very few were ever aware of it. Reaching this level was a tall order for most. It is because of this advanced state that Jiang Xiaobai’s foundation was solid.
With his power level upgraded, Jiang Xiaobai’s speed also increased significantly. For a while, he was on equal footing with his pursuers.
That is to say, if he continued to flee like this, the pursuers wouldn’t be able to catch up, but he wouldn’t be able to escape either.
However, he didn’t care. He kept rushing forward at this speed, all the while pondering a theory. If his guess was accurate, it’ll earn him a fortune.
Zheng Xiong and his men who were pursuing Jiang Xiaobai frowned, Jiang Xiaobai’s speed had suddenly surged ahead, and they couldn’t keep up. If this continued, their efforts would be futile.
“Have someone block him a thousand miles ahead!” Zheng Xiong shouted at a man nearby, who nodded and pulled out a jade tablet.
Jiang Xiaobai was keeping an eye on the situation behind him. Seeing this, he tensed up.
The choice he made next was crucial, should he continue to verify his theory or find a way out of the current predicament.
If he made the wrong choice, he’d find himself in a dangerous situation.
“Damn it, I’ll risk it, fortune favors the brave, worst case, I’ll use the trial card. Jiang Xiaobai made a decision in less than three seconds.
Keep running!
Less than ten minutes into the chase, a large group of silver-armored men appeared from far ahead. Just then, a voice from the system was heard.
“Congratulations, host, you have triggered a choice.”
“Choice one: Flee desperately, reward: ten years of practice.”
“Choice two: Engage in battle, reward: a random Sky Spirit treasure.”
“Choice three: Toy with the Thousand Yuan Dynasty’s pursuers, reward: one opportunity to seal spiritual power (all people within ten miles can not use spiritual power, for a duration of ten minutes)..”
