“I suppose it’s been quite some time since I last saw my disciple,” Jiang Yuan mused with a smile.

A moment later.

A pleasant jingling, like that of silver bells, filled the air.

The person had yet to arrive, but the sound had preceded her.

Upon hearing the intermittent ringing of the silver bells, Ye Chanxi’s lips curled into an even broader smile.

The next moment.

Two young girls appeared before Ye Chanxi’s eyes.

One of them was the same Lu Luo girl from earlier.

Leading the way, she looked back at the girl in the red dress following her with utmost respect.

Jiang Yuan’s inadvertent phrase, my disciple.

These four words sent a shock through the Lu Luo girl.

She was well aware of her own master’s stature!

After all, the current Holy Daughter had ascended to the saintly throne and was the true second-in-command of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Sometimes, what the Holy Daughter said could carry even more weight than those of the famously imposing Sect Master.

Under such circumstances, the status of this girl in the red dress was naturally extraordinary!

Any trace of contempt she had harbored in her heart completely dissipated.

Given her relationship with the Holy Daughter, there were few in the vast Heavenly Demon Sect who would dare to provoke her.

Just then, as the jingle of the silver bells continued, a barefooted girl in a red dress, adorned with small silver bells, appeared before Ye Chanxi.

She was Mu Qianru.

Looking at Ye Chanxi standing there in her black dress, her expression turned complicated.

“What’s the matter? Don’t know how to pay respects to your master?” Ye Chanxi teased with a playful smile.

Hearing this, Mu Qianru immediately performed a respectful salute.

“Your disciple pays respects to Master!”

Mu Qianru nodded in satisfaction at this scene.

“Want to know everything that happened before?” Ye Chanxi asked slowly.

“I do!” Mu Qianru swiftly nodded in response.

At her words, Ye Chanxi nodded slightly.

“Don’t resist!” she advised.

Upon the conclusion of her speech, a burst of white light shot straight into Mu Qianru’s forehead.

In an instant.

Confusion enveloped Mu Qianru’s eyes.

It took a long while, lasting as long as it would take to drink half a cup of tea, before Mu Qianru regained her senses, her eyes once again animated.

Now, looking at Ye Chanxi, her gaze was filled with complexity.

“So, my teacher from before was actually one of your incarnations?”

Ye Chanxi nodded gently, “Indeed! It was one of my incarnations! As for the Heavenly Demon Sect of Qianyuan Kingdom, it was merely a faction whimsically established by one of my incarnations!”

Hearing that, Mu Qianru slowly nodded.

Then she quickly performed another salute, “I pay respects to Master!!!”

Seeing the scene before her, Ye Chanxi’s lips curled into a slight smile.

“Indeed worthy of being my disciple, quite clever!”

“Since that’s the case, you’ll follow me from now on!”

With a respectful demeanor, Mu Qianru replied, “Yes, Master!”

…

In the blink of an eye, another ten days had passed.

When the morning sun rose, Jiang Yuan emerged from his state of contemplating the Devouring Great Dao.

First, he reaped the Luck Power he had gathered for the day.

Luck Power +100.

Pleased with the familiar notification, Jiang Yuan nodded contentedly.

Then he promptly opened his panel and skillfully poured the Luck Power onto that seed of fate energy.

After completing this task, Jiang Yuan shifted his gaze upward.

[Great Dao]: Devouring great Dao (92.37%)…

Seeing his progress, Jiang Yuan’s face lit up with joy.

Even without looking at his own panel, he was aware of the extent to which his Devouring Great Dao had grown.

However, concrete visual displays always provide a far more shocking impact than vague sensations.

Just ten days had passed, and he’d elevate the Devouring Great Dao to such a level, even he was utterly shaken.

This acceleration of progress had wholly exceeded his expectations.

Jiang Yuan immediately realized that his compatibility with the devouring aspect was far greater than that with the Space Great Dao.

In his view, these past ten days had brought earth-shattering changes.

The Devouring Dao among the Three Thousand Great Dao had severely withered, leaving only its most central area.

His own Devouring Dao, on the other hand, had transformed into a Sky-Blocking Python.

Its massive body was more than ten times that of the former.

From his perspective, it seemed poised to complete the usurpation process.

But having observed the changes over these several days, Jiang Yuan knew it wasn’t so simple.

The more central the remnants, the more challenging it is to nibble away at its core.

Three days earlier, he had realized his own Devouring Dao had completed ninety percent of the devouring process, seemingly just one step away from him becoming the Devouring Master.

However, judging by the progress over these past three days, he understood that what seemed like one step was actually worlds apart.

Further along, the difficulty skyrocketed exponentially.

From his experience, to truly replace and manifest as the Devouring Master,
it would still take a considerably long time – his current efficiency didn’t afford him the luxury to waste on this pursuit.

At the current rate, to elevate the progression of 92.37 percent to a full 100 percent and become the Devouring Master,
even with the blessing of “Heaven Rewards the Diligent” innate energy luck, Jiang Yuan knew it wouldn’t be that simple.

At best, it might take several years more, if not longer.

At the very least, it would require a year and a half.

Jiang Yuan then stood up, muttering to himself,
“As the saying goes, sharpening your ax will not delay your chopping of firewood. Now, with my accumulation, I should be sufficient to attain the Saint Dao Fruit!”

“Once I obtain the Saint Dao Fruit and step into the Saint Realm, based on my understanding, my efficiency in comprehending and mastering the Great Dao will surely soar manyfold.”

“If I can accumulate the Luck Power up to one hundred thousand strands, I can choose another strand of innate energy luck to upgrade to red, which will undoubtedly bring substantial aid to me!”

With that, his words ceased.

Jiang Yuan checked his own status panel.

[Luck Power]: 90311 strands
Seeing the numbers on the panel filled Jiang Yuan’s heart with exhilaration.

He was now less than ten thousand strands shy of the significant hundred-thousand threshold!

“The one-month deadline has also arrived; it’s time to make a trip to the Heavenly Origin Holy Land!”

“When I return the Void Taoism Scripture, it’ll be good to test whether I can avoid the Holy Land’s prohibitions and formations without being detected with my current strength!”

“If I can do that, then that’ll truly be great news!”

Jiang Yuan was brimming with anticipation at this moment.

Because even if he couldn’t achieve this, he could still brazenly show up at the Heavenly Origin Holy Land to reap a portion of the Luck Power.

This way, he would be one step closer to his hundred-thousand-strand goal, a win-win situation either way.

Just then, a flash of white light appeared in his hand, and a Sound-Transmission Jade Slip materialized.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Ye Chanxi’s previously conveyed voice emerged within it.

“Have all the Dao Origin crystals been collected?” Jiang Yuan murmured, then continued, “Good timing, after returning the Void Taoism Scripture, I’ll make a trip to the Northern Desert!”

“With my current speed, the trip to the Northern Desert will merely take a brief moment.”

After speaking, Jiang Yuan stored the Sound-Transmission Jade Slip back into his pouch.

At that moment, a smile formed on his lips as he walked straight out of the courtyard.

I wonder how Xiaoxiao has progressed during this time?

After reaping the Luck Power from Xiaoxiao and Birdy Huang, I should be even closer to the hundred-thousand-strand mark, right?

These thoughts swiftly flashed through his mind.

Passing through the front yard, Jiang Yuan arrived at Shu Xiaoxiao’s living quarters.

Entering the small courtyard, he immediately saw Birdy Huang drowsing on a tree branch.

[Name]: Birdy Huang
[Realm]: Dharma Realm Forth Heavens
[Innate Fate Energy]: True Phoenix’s Bloodline (Gold) Five Elemental Origins (Gold) Body of Innate Dao (Gold) Phoenix Divine Fire (Purple) Heaven and Earth Auspiciousness (Purple)…

[True Phoenix’s Bloodline]: Bloodline reverting to ancestral, having near-progenitor blood, potential for limitless future.

[Five Elemental Origins]: Bearing the innate origins of the Five Elements, with extremely high affinity for the Way of the Five Elements, natural growth will lead to the comprehension of the Five Element Great Dao.

[Body of Innate Dao]: Possessing a body of innate Dao, close to the Great Dao’s Origin, makes it easier to comprehend various Great Daos.

After glancing at Birdy Huang’s status panel, Jiang Yuan shook his head slightly.

“Still no progress, such inefficiency in cultivation is simply too low!”
