Chapter 497

Therefore,

Perhaps before Mo Yi came to Snow Moon City, Jiang Chen felt that he really might have had a chance to break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Just like that,

In the blink of an eye, another few days passed.

And Jiang Chen's strength finally reached the peak of the Ninth Tier of the Divine Immortal Realm, just as he had wished!

It must be said,

This group of people was truly too crazy,

Especially some of the people from the Great Song and Great Ming Dynasties.

Once they heard that clearing the Heaven-Ascending Pavilion could earn them the Nine Yin True Sutra, the Dragon-Slaying Saber, and the Heaven-Reliant Sword, even if they failed the trial, they still had a chance to receive guidance from someone in the Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm. They didn't even bother looking for inns anymore and came directly to queue in front of the Heaven-Ascending Pavilion.

Some people even suggested that Snow Moon City should keep the Heaven-Ascending Pavilion open at night!

To be honest,

Jiang Chen was actually quite tempted by this suggestion.

However, when he thought about how Huang Rong, Lian Xing, and the others were all in the Inner City, he gave up on the idea.

Huang Rong and the others were willingly following him,

and he already felt a bit guilty for not spending time with them during the day.

If he didn't even return to the Inner City at night, even if the women didn't say anything, they would inevitably feel a bit disappointed in their hearts.

Moreover,

even if he only guarded the pavilion during the day, based on the progress of the last two days, Jiang Chen believed that it wouldn't be many days before he would inevitably break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

On this day,

Jiang Chen still arrived at the Heaven-Ascending Pavilion early, and then habitually used his divine sense to check on the status of Seeing Sangsang and the other two.

By now, the workshop over there was already mass-producing glazed ornaments.

This made Seeing Sangsang, the little money-grubber, wake up even earlier every day. Sometimes, while Jiang Chen was still eating breakfast, the three little girls would already be unable to wait and would head to Fancheng a step ahead of him.

Even,

in order to earn a bit more money every day,

the three of them had directly rented a shop right next to the East-Returning Tavern!

And this shop had only one purpose: to serve as a warehouse, specifically for storing the glazed ornaments sent over from the workshop.

Chapter 222: Zhou Zhiruo Arrives!

Originally, after learning of Seeing Sangsang's plan,

Yin Luoxia had intended to find a larger shop for the three little girls to use as a warehouse.

After all, in Snow Moon City, apart from residential houses, all other shops, including taverns and inns, were basically rented out by Snow Moon City.

However,

Seeing Sangsang and the others refused to agree no matter what; they insisted on paying the rent for the shop themselves, saying that only then would they feel a sense of accomplishment.

Facing their stubbornness,

Yin Luoxia could only let them be.

In any case, the few little girls did indeed have a small fortune now.

Sometimes, whenever Seeing Sangsang and the others returned to the Inner City fully loaded at dusk, the look in Sikong Qianluo's eyes when she glanced at their money pouches was filled with envy.

From this, it could be seen

just how full Seeing Sangsang and the others' little treasury was at this moment.

Feeling the vibrant energy of Seeing Sangsang and the others, Jiang Chen couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile.

Under the care and comfort of the women,

in just a few short days, Seeing Sangsang had already returned to her former self.

However,

Jiang Chen did not dare to lower his guard.

Now that the black umbrella was hidden by him in the depths of Erhai Lake, perhaps Haotian would not discover it in the short term.

But once time passed,

the other party would inevitably notice the abnormality.

When that time truly came, if anyone else came to Snow Moon City, it was very likely to be Haotian in person.

Fortunately,

he was also about to break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Feeling the internal energy in his body that had already reached the peak of the Divine Immortal Realm, Jiang Chen's face revealed a look of anticipation.

If things went smoothly, perhaps he could break through today.

Not long after,

the doors of the Heaven-Ascending Pavilion opened.

And the challengers who had been waiting outside, ranked at the very front, and had waited for an entire night, immediately rushed into the Heaven-Ascending Pavilion impatiently.

At the same time,

on the official road outside Snow Moon City, a group of Emei Sect women led by Abbess Miejue and Zhou Zhiruo were rapidly rushing toward Snow Moon City.

"I didn't expect Snow Moon City's prestige in the Northern Li Jianghu to be so high."

Abbess Miejue looked at Snow Moon City from afar and said with some emotion: "In our Great Ming Dynasty, I reckon only Wudang could barely compare with Snow Moon City. Even the Ming Sect, which is ranked first in the Jianghu, is far inferior to Snow Moon City."

Although the Ming Sect was known as the number one power in the Great Ming Jianghu,

this was only because the Ming Sect had many disciples, and the number of experts in the Free Earth Realm and Carefree Heaven Realm within the sect was indeed much higher than other Jianghu powers.

However,

in the hearts of the vast majority of martial artists,

the holy land of martial arts in the Great Ming Jianghu was Wudang!

Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang, as the only expert in the Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm in the Great Ming Jianghu, was the recognized myth of the Wu Lin!

"Master, is it true that in our Great Ming Jianghu, only Senior Zhang has broken through to the Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm?"

Hearing her master's words,

Zhou Zhiruo couldn't help but ask curiously.

As a little fan of Jiang Chen, before meeting him, she would often pay attention to news about the Northern Li Imperial Dynasty.

And after being invited by Jiang Chen to head to Snow Moon City,

she had done everything in her power to collect all information regarding Snow Moon City.

According to what she had learned,

there seemed to be quite a few experts in the Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm in the Northern Li Imperial Dynasty, and in Snow Moon City alone, besides Jiang Chen, there was another expert in the Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm.

As for the three City Lords of Snow Moon City,

they were all existences at the peak of the Carefree Heaven Realm, and could break through to the Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm at any time.

Such strength,

if placed in the Great Ming Imperial Dynasty, would likely have dominated the Wu Lin long ago.

However,

in this Northern Li Imperial Dynasty,

there was actually a killer organization like the Dark River that dared to target Snow Moon City!

However,

what Zhou Zhiruo was truly puzzled by was that the Great Ming Imperial Dynasty's national strength was clearly much stronger than the Northern Li Imperial Dynasty's, yet its Jianghu powers were far inferior to Northern Li's.

"I'm not sure either, but there should be more than just Daoist Zhang who have broken through to the Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm."

Abbess Miejue sighed lightly: "It's just that experts in the Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm have long since transcended the category of martial artists. People who reach their realm basically all wander the four seas, pursuing higher realms."

Although she now had the Nine Yin True Sutra,

she knew that

even with the Nine Yin True Sutra, she could at most break through to the Great Carefree Realm.
