Chapter 484: Chapter 304 The True Way of the World_1

Shame?

Jiang Ming immediately quashed the thought and just smiled, “Don’t you have a man yet?”

Hong Ling’s face flashed a shade of red as she glared at him and huffed, “Without becoming a Divine Spirit, life is ultimately an illusion; what use are love, hate, and the emotions of life. Only by becoming a Divine Spirit and attaining eternal life can one truly enjoy the splendors of life.”

“So, by becoming a Divine Spirit, you can live forever?” Jiang Ming asked. “Then, there must be as many Divine Spirits as there are hairs on a cow in the world you come from, right?”

“Want to know? Become a Divine Spirit first,” Hong Ling said with a deep look, surveying him up and down with some hesitation, “Your physique, or rather, your bloodline, gives me a very strange feeling. It seems that you possess an extremely high-level bloodline, and vaguely, it does not seem inferior to the wondrous feeling of a God’s physique.”

Jiang Ming just smiled.

This session of closed-door training had brought him tremendous gains.

He had succeeded in cultivating the Cosmic Gene Skill to the Seventh Layer, Eighth Layer, and Ninth Layer, allowing his genes to continuously transform and sublime, reaching a thousandfold increase.

At the Sixth Layer, it was a hundredfold increase in genes.

The Seventh Layer was a twofold increase, the Eighth Layer five hundredfold, and the Ninth Layer exactly a thousandfold.

Reaching this level, he still had not felt any limitations from this aspect, which ought not be the case by normal reasoning.

Stronger genes led to a surge in power.

The might of his combat realm likewise received a tremendous boost.

But the strength Tao pattern had not changed at all.

“Could it be that, in the Mortal Universe, there are no limits to gene transformation, or have I not reached the true limit?”

Jiang Ming pondered this.

A thousandfold gene increase—compared with the powerful of the same realm who follow the Path of the Physical Body, it’s like having a thousand times more power out of thin air.

This is a completely overwhelming amplification.

“Could it be that you’ve cultivated some Secret Skill that transforms bloodlines? Or that you have a treasure on you, preventing me from spying on you?” Hong Ling’s gaze continued to sweep up and down Jiang Ming’s body.

When her eyes landed on a particular area, her expression became a bit unnatural.

“Hey, hey, hey, that’s too much!” Jiang Ming also noticed and looked somewhat displeased, “Peeping at someone’s privacy to their face, do you want to be a hooligan?”

“You’re the hooligan; your whole family are hooligans!” Hong Ling snorted, flipping her hair as she said, “What are your plans next?”

“Cultivation, sweeping through the One Hundred and Eight Provinces to collect cultivation resources, then setting my sights on the Holy City—that was what we agreed upon before, wasn’t it?” Jiang Ming paused and then chuckled, “You must have noticed that my Inner World is vast, very, very vast. To continue evolving it, I need massive amounts of resources for support, which is why I’m planning to take over the One Hundred and Eight Provinces. But you, you have massive resources, don’t you? How about supporting me again? It would be like an investment.”

“I’ve already made a huge investment in you,” Hong Ling snorted, “but I haven’t received any benefits yet!”

“What benefits do you want? Tell me, as long as I have it, I’ll certainly not hesitate to offer it,” Jiang Ming hesitated for a moment, “How about, I give you a few billion to start with?”

“A few billion?” Hong Ling was puzzled, then it dawned on her, and she couldn’t help but curse loudly, “Jiang Ming, you’re utterly shameless.”

She turned to leave but suddenly stopped, as if curious, “Just how big is your Inner World, and how many Mortal rules have you comprehended?”

“I’ve evolved my Inner World with three hundred sixty-five kinds of rules, and now it has grown to a thousand,” Jiang Ming casually flipped out a drink and slowly sipped it, “How about that, not bad, right?”

“My god, you actually created your Inner World with the number of rules corresponding to Zhou Tian, and now, you’ve even comprehended a thousand?” Hong Ling was shocked.

“Can you even curse?” Jiang Ming said teasingly.

“I curse…” Hong Ling swore again, but slowly exhaled a breath and looked at Jiang Ming with disdain, “I thought you were a gentleman, but I didn’t expect you to be such a scoundrel—shameless, despicable, disgusting, a hypocrite.” Jiang Ming blinked and was not the least bit annoyed.

He contemplated what she had said.

Opening an Inner World based on the Zhou Tian number?

There seems to be some trick to it.

“A man should be a sage within and a king without. Externally, he should follow the Way of the Overlords; internally, he should possess the virtues of a sage, and what are the sacred virtues if not to reveal one’s true self?” Jiang Ming laughed, “You even call me a hypocrite, yet as a lady, you’re always raging and shouting—is that ladylike? Does that show the virtue of a Godess? And besides, can you even rage properly?”

“I…” Hong Ling felt an urge to punch someone.

Her face turned even redder, and she quickly said, “Stop it, or I’ll get really mad.”

“Life needs moderation to be relaxed and appropriate,” Jiang Ming sat up straight and said earnestly, “What are the Zhou Tian numbers?”

“I’ve told you before, becoming a god is divided into the Four Elements, and one of them is the Way of the World,” Hong Ling sat down again, “The Way of the World is again divided into the real world and the false world.”

Jiang Ming blinked.

He truly didn’t know this.

“That’s better,” Hong Ling smiled, once again cocking her leg up.

“You’re sitting opposite me, and you’re wearing a skirt,” Jiang Ming pointed out.

Hong Ling immediately realized it, glared at him fiercely, quickly put her leg down, and adjusted her hair before she continued, “The real world is about developing one’s Inner World towards a true World, but it’s extremely difficult. Out of ten thousand, there might not even be one, no, not even one in a hundred million who achieve godhood might come close.”

“That hard?” Jiang Ming was astonished, “Feels like it’s even harder than becoming a god through the Four Elements.”

“It’s hard to say,” Hong Ling hesitated.

“Are you trying to trick me?” Jiang Ming frowned, “You previously mentioned the difficulty of the Four Elements, that there might be only one in an ancient era, but now you’re saying that just the difficulty of the Way of the World is comparable, isn’t that baloney?”

Hong Ling chuckled awkwardly: “It’s some common knowledge, I subconsciously ignored the common sense within the common knowledge.”

Jiang Ming was speechless.

“Then let me thoroughly explain it to you!” Hong Ling detailed the situation of achieving godhood once more.

Actually, what she said wasn’t wrong.

The Four Elements of becoming a god: Physical Body, Soul, Mind, and Way of the World.

The World is divided into evolving the real world, which is considered the hardest among the four. Once successful, one’s combat power increases tremendously, far beyond imagination.

To walk the path of the real world, one must comprehend three hundred sixty- five different rules, and then use them as the foundation to create an Inner World, with a perfect match, building the basic framework for the operation of the Inner World, allowing it to evolve on its own.

This is beyond ordinary difficulty.

That’s because in the God Realm, it’s not just about being bom in the Demigod Realm; comprehending three hundred sixty-five rules is too difficult.

“After all, the God Realm operates under God’s rules,” Hong Ling sighed lightly, “You should know the difficulty of walking the path of the real world now, right?”

Jiang Ming nodded.

That explanation made it clear, of course.

Being bom in the Demigod Realm usually sets one’s path for the future, and it’s too late to evolve a real Inner World afterward.

The path of the false world is the conventional method of achieving godhood through Martial Art.

Because the Inner Worlds that are generally created derive from a single rule, and achieving godhood also strives in this direction.

“It’s just a single power, and self-transformation is naturally simple. This is the path that most Divine Spirits in the God Realm take. It’s the most ordinary, the most common, and relatively the lowest in potential, but it doesn’t mean one can’t strive for a higher realm—it will just be very difficult later on,” Hong Ling added.

She paused, her eyes flickering, “Perhaps, I now know the reason why it’s difficult to integrate the Four Elements and reach the Heavenly God Realm directly.”

“Is it because it involves integrating the Way of the real world, rather than the false world?” Jiang Ming’s eyes shimmered, “Is that the real reason for the difficulty?”
