Chapter 615: 615: Upgrade
His current strength was about seventy percent of what it had been at his peak. His first step was not to increase his strength, but to resist the pressure of the heavens and earth!
Jiang Xiaobai quickly found a nice-looking cave with a good surrounding environment and dense spiritual energy.
After making some simple arrangements, Jiang Xiaobai took out all of his low-grade immortal stones, leaving him with less than tens of thousands.
He had a lot more middle-grade immortal stones, around thirteen to fourteen million.
“I don’t know if it’s enough. We’ll see how it goes.”
“There are so many things to explore in this wonderful world.”
Jiang Xiaobai muttered to himself, then began his cautious cultivation. Time swiftly passed.
After three days, all the low-grade immortal stones were depleted. Jiang Xiaobai could withstand the rules of heaven and earth.
Next, he had to improve his strength to match itself.
Or in other words, localize!
Once he achieves it, his strength should definitely increase substantially.
Half a month passed like this. Jiang Xiaobai consumed over two hundred thousand middle-grade immortal stones before he rose to his feet.
“Whew, the strength increase is quite terrifying!”
“Even with just thirty percent of my current strength, I should be at the top level in the Tianxuan Continent, right?”
“The rules of the middle three thousand worlds are already terrifying like this. What about the upper three thousand worlds, or a complete three thousand worlds?”
“Or the legendary immortal realm?”
Of course, everything that followed was imagined. The specifics were unknown, and Jiang Xiaobai didn’t rush to explore the world immediately.
The urgent task was to see what improvement level his strength achieved.
He dived into the War God Space healing system.
He was paired with opponents at the peak of the Late Integration Stage.
As his power was demonstrated, the opponents grew stronger. From initially defeating the opponents with ease to eventually becoming evenly matched, and finally, he was defeated again!
Unquestionably, later opponents were top experts from the upper three thousand worlds, or even the complete three thousand worlds!
In his last battle, Jiang Xiaobai felt a deep sense of powerlessness!
His man was gone in a flash, even more terrifying than when he faced Qiongyu. At least he could see Qiongyu’s attack trajectory clearly, but now it was impossible to capture!
He even saw the opponent’s mocking smile before facing the imminent doom.
This made Jiang Xiaobai quite angry.
“What are you smirking about? You just had a higher starting point. Wait until I find time to practice in your upper three thousand worlds. I’ll make sure I beat you up!”
Although he said so, there was a side effect of proving one thing.
The world is not fair.
Nowhere is there absolute fairness. When you think about the word “fair”, it’s already unfair!
They were born in the upper three thousand worlds. What could you do about it?
They were born as the top demon, what could you do?
They are stronger than you and have a higher starting point!
Of course, Jiang Xiaobai has something that no one else has – the system!
Otherwise, would he still want to cultivate?
Being a mortal, living a peaceful life, and dying of regret would be enough.
With a scornful mouth, Jiang Xiaobai felt there was no point in the War God Space and he exited.
Then he tried to absorb middle-grade immortal stones to rise in cultivation realm but found that eating ten or twenty thousand middle-grade immortal stones made no difference!
His absorption speed was actually even slower!
Jiang Xiaobai, sulking, got a spirit beast and roasted its meat while summing it up.
Firstly, after he condensed the Zixiao Yuan Soul, the quality of his spirit power improved a lot. Then, it became a bit better in the Abyss Forbidden Land.
Later, the thunder from the Xu Lei technique continued to temper his spiritual power. Lastly, the special reward after the Netherworld Trial.
That reward should be the most powerful. Jiang Xiaobai felt that he was significantly different from before!
Sadly though, as his spirit power quality improved, the Kunpeng Swallowing Sky Skill began to struggle.
Simply put, they were not compatible!
The only solution was to improve the tier. However, he just checked the system, it needed five million points to upgrade!
He only has just over two million points, which are useless! And the system was still upgrading. Judging from the system’s temper, it’s nearly impossible to trigger any options during the upgrading process.
“The only solution right now is to hoard resources, gain reputation, improve points, and wait until there are enough for serious cultivation.”
“Otherwise, even if I am given a billion middle-grade immortal stones to absorb right now, it’s still a waste. And it’s a huge waste. Not worthwhile at all.”
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and muttered to himself, then started enjoying the delicious food.
Right then, he wrinkled his brow because suddenly three figures appeared from the front.
“Hehe, greetings, fellow daoist.”
“We three were passing by this place and couldn’t help but be attracted by the smell of the meat. We came to bother you. Please forgive us.”
“Ten low-grade immortal stones, let’s share some food?”
“We have good wine.”
The man leading was muscular and looked honest and straightforward. As he spoke, he took out ten low-grade immortal stones and a jug of good wine.
Jiang Xiaobai thought for a moment, then waved his hand: “No need for immortal stones. If you want to eat, then just eat. I can’t finish all this by myself anyway. Being able to drink some wine is quite good.”
“Thank you, daoist friend!”
The three men rushed over, eyes shining, looking at the grilled meat on the rack in front of Jiang Xiaobai. At the same time, they took out three jugs of good wine, one for each person.
Then, they rubbed their hands, swallowing saliva, and tore off some meat to taste.
As soon as they tasted it, their eyes lit up.
“Great culinary skills, Daoist friend. You must be a god of cooking reincarnated. The meat of this antelope is generally rough, yet you managed to bring out such flavor. It’s tender and tasty!”
The muscular man excitedly praised, and he couldn’t help but tear off another piece to taste.
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t say much as he drank his wine. His culinary skills had been validated by many people.
After the third round of drinks, the atmosphere got even better, and the three men eventually began to inquire about Jiang Xiaobai’s situation; Jiang Xiaobai naturally weaved a pile of nonsense in response.
“Ah, it’s quite nice to be able to eat these delicacies. Daoist Jiang Bai, if you don’t mind, why not come with us to the city? Aren’t you out here to make a living? I just happen to be helping a courier agency.”
“Daoist Jiang Bai, your cultivation is at the Late-Stage Fusion Peak Realm, which is really impressive, much stronger than us. Once you get there, you should receive a better treatment.”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded, he wanted to explore this Starland Purgatory, he needed to blend in.
First, get a job to see.
So, he followed the three men forward. After less than three hours, they arrived at a small city.
This small city was about the same size as the Spring Lake City, and it was called Bright Moon City.
Under the guidance of the three people, Jiang Xiaobai arrived at the entrance of a courier agency.
“Long Feng Courier Agency, not a bad name.”
Jiang Xiaobai softly laughed to himself. The exploration had officially begun!
