Chapter 644
Therefore, compared to the other clansmen, he undoubtedly needed the storage function of the Cangwu Token even more!
Then, just as Jiang Ming put away the Cangwu Token and prepared to leave the Forest of Death, setting out toward the other prefectures in the vicinity—
Buzz buzz buzz—
Suddenly, the Cangwu Token began to tremble slightly, emitting a crisp sound.
Jiang Ming's brow furrowed slightly; he felt a bit puzzled, not knowing who was trying to reach him.
He hurriedly took out the Cangwu Token.
He opened it to look.
Gazing at the contents on the Cangwu Token, he could not help being startled!
Then, thinking he had misread the sender's name, he could not help stretching out both hands and rubbing his eyes.
But when he looked again, he found that on the sender's line, the great name of his own clan chief was prominently marked!
"Strange? Why would the clan chief, my lord, specially send me a message?"
While deeply puzzled, Jiang Ming dared not hesitate any longer and hurriedly tapped open the message within the Cangwu Token.
Now, he was eager to know why the clan chief, my lord, was looking for him.
He tapped open the message.
Inside, only an extremely brief line was displayed.
"There is an opportunity for you. Return at once."
Though the words were few, the message revealed still made Jiang Ming's heart jolt!
"My opportunity?"
Jiang Ming's eyes went wide, filled with astonishment.
He had never expected—
that the clan chief, my lord, had specially notified him this time, only to summon him home to receive an opportunity.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ming, who had long been worn down by slaughter and felt weary in heart and spirit—
suddenly felt a surge of warmth welling up within him.
His originally somewhat heavy body instantly felt a great weight lifted, light all over.
His tightly knit brow also eased along with it.
The clan chief, my lord, truly lives up to being the elder I respect most.
Even while shouldering the heavy burden all alone—
to become the great shade tree behind all the clansmen, he immersed himself in cultivation at every moment, never daring to slacken in the slightest.
Clearly in such circumstances, he still kept the clan in his heart, caring for its members at all times.
Having such a clan chief is truly the great fortune of the clan!
Jiang Ming's heart grew warm.
After replying to the clan chief, my lord's message, he immediately changed direction.
"The clan chief, my lord's matter takes priority. It seems the matter of going to the other prefectures for training will have to be set aside for now; there's no rush…"
Saying so, he tapped lightly with both feet, instantly leaving the ground, soaring into the sky, and flying straight toward the horizon in the direction of Cangwu Mountain!
This journey—going home!
Not long after.
The sun set into dusk.
Jiang Ming returned smoothly to Cangwu Mountain and entered the clan's great hall.
He gazed at the towering back before him that bore all the heavy burdens of the clan.
He immediately dropped to one knee, lowered his head, cupped his hands, and said: "This junior, Jiang Ming, pays his respects to the clan chief, my lord!"
Once the words fell—
Jiang Daoxuan slowly turned, his gaze falling upon Jiang Ming.
Under the formidable power of the Chaotic Dao Pupils—
the other's cultivation base condition could be said to be laid bare in full view!
Seeing that Jiang Ming had now reached the third layer of the Moon Wheel Realm, Jiang Daoxuan nodded in satisfaction.
To be able to raise his cultivation base to such a degree in such a short time—
this child's opportunities and fortune were indeed extraordinary!
Jiang Daoxuan's face showed gratification.
Then, without much explanation, he raised his hand and waved; in an instant, he summoned the teleportation gate connecting to the Cave Heaven minor world!
Because the placed teleportation gate could be recalled at any time—
summoning it directly within the hall had no effect.
He only needed to change its location later and re-place it.
Under Jiang Ming's puzzled gaze—
Jiang Daoxuan chuckled lightly: "Go in and take a look…"
At these words—
though doubt lingered in Jiang Ming's heart, he also knew the clan chief, my lord, would never harm him.
Bearing absolute trust in the clan chief, he did not hesitate in the slightest, and immediately stepped forward, walking into the gate!
Once his figure had completely vanished into the teleportation gate—
Jiang Ming suddenly found himself appearing in a world filled entirely with white light!
Just as he lost his sense of direction and felt thoroughly puzzled—
The scene ahead rapidly changed, forming a golden-yellow vortex.
Jiang Ming's eyes grew thoughtful; he slowly extended his right hand and touched the vortex with his fingertip.
Encountering no resistance at all, his fingertip passed through the vortex with ease.
Seeing this miraculous sight, Jiang Ming withdrew his finger and strode boldly inside.
The moment he passed through the teleportation gate—
What appeared before his eyes was not the familiar clan great hall, but an entirely different world!
"Where is this?"
Jiang Ming froze on the spot.
All around, towering trees stood in dense ranks, weeds ran wild, and from time to time massive fierce beasts darted past, hunting!
This place looked like a primeval forest.
But strangely—
He was stunned to discover that, high above his head, there was not the slightest trace of a sun!
"Mm?"
Jiang Ming's eyes flickered with shock and uncertainty.
The bizarre scene here instantly made him think of a term that existed only in legend!
Namely: a Cave Heaven minor world!
"Could it be that I've actually entered some Cave Heaven minor world?!"
Jiang Ming's expression changed abruptly; he could not help crying out.
Just then, a voice—warm as fine jade, yet not lacking in dignity—suddenly came from behind him.
"Ming'er, what do you think of this place?"
The words rang out, falling at Jiang Ming's ear, instantly pulling his thoughts back to reality!
Realizing he had lost his composure, he hurriedly turned his head to look behind him.
He saw his own clan leader with a smile playing at the corner of his mouth.
Jiang Ming scratched his head sheepishly, then cupped his fist and replied: "This place has fierce beasts in packs and no outsiders to disturb us—it's actually extremely well-suited to become a trial ground for our clansmen."
Having said that, he shifted his tone and asked cautiously: "May I dare to ask, Clan Leader my lord, is this place truly... a Cave Heaven minor world?"
Jiang Daoxuan nodded: "Mm, your guess is not far off."
"Now, I wish to take this Cave Heaven minor world and make it a place of tempering for our clansmen—to increase their real-combat experience, to study spell-arts and martial techniques, and to hone their Dao hearts."
Hearing that the Clan Leader my lord's idea coincided with his own, Jiang Ming forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart: "What the Clan Leader my lord says is absolutely right."
"Although the clan possesses a supreme treasure like the Clan Pagoda, which can deepen our comprehension of spell-arts and martial techniques, it cannot make us temper our Dao hearts."
