Chapter 449: Chapter 342: The Clone Wants to Rebel_2

The shape of the human body was still unnoticeable, but the changes in the original body were much more obvious. The previously lush willow branches were filled with thunder and lightning, thick and dense, like roaming dragons.

Moreover, the trunk part of it was turning into an amber-like translucent texture, with True Dragon formed by Thunder Tribulation as its backbone, allowing it to take root not only on the earth, but also in the void.

During these three years, apart from evolving himself, Jiang Hui had some other gains as well.

He found that the bottom of this Thunder Sea Abyss is a naturally formed formation, possessing the patterns of the Great Tao, within which the supreme law of Thunder Tribulation is hidden, and those thunder and lightning were born from this formation accumulated over time, serving as the source of the Thunder Sea Abyss.

So after being able to resist the violent Thunder of the Thunder Electric Abyss Sea, Jiang Hui spent the rest of his time imprinting this formation.

This was definitely a meticulous task, for the formation was excessively complicated and intricate, like a ghost painting, where any wrong stroke would require a complete reworking of the formation, requiring Jiang Hui to ensure it was completed in one go.

Luckily, his effort was rewarded. After more than a year, Jiang Hui successfully imprinted the whole Thunder Sea formation on his body.

Although the power of such a formation, naturally formed by heaven and earth and recreated by imprinting, would inevitably be greatly reduced, it should not be a problem to deal with the Supreme or ordinary immortals; it could be arranged all around Liu Village.

Especially, he first imprinted this Thunder Abyss formation into his own body, maybe in the future when his strength advances, it might be possible to recreate the terrifying power of the formation, maybe even step up to the next level.

After all the work was done, Jiang Hui finally left the created world.

With the Key to the World Ocean, he could return at any time, so there was no hurry to fully explore this place.

Especially, his power was limited, and some secrets were still beyond his reach, requiring further enhancement.

Most importantly, he had already stayed here for a full three years. Although three years was not long, and was just a fleeting moment for the powerful beings, quite a few things could happen.

The Boundary Sea is a unique world, completely different from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Isolated from everything else, he could not sense the situation in Liu Village, nor could he manifest through his own followers.

Three years later, Mulberry City remained as desolate and bleak as when he first arrived, and at some point, a heavy snow had fallen, freezing everything, with the cold air piercing to the bone.

In the heavy snow, the crisp sound of bells rang out in the city, those were a herd of yaks.

Jiang Hui didn’t linger. For now, the Sin Continent was relatively peaceful, just let it develop naturally. There was no need to change anything. Maybe he would appear when An Lan took action in the future, but definitely not now.

Returning to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Jiang Hui immediately felt relaxed, like a fish returning to water. He opened all his Five Senses, and Liu Village, hidden in the dim fog and shrouded by the Utopia Array, reappeared in his senses.

All was well, and there were no accidents. Everything was developing systematically. The only change was that some naughty children from before were quickly growing into adults, and some had even gotten married and had children, but the atmosphere remained harmonious, as people followed the practice of not picking up lost things.

Because after transforming into a human form, Jiang Hui used the Technique of Creation to transform a similar willow tree on the Post-Human Mountains. Apart from Old man Lin and others who were familiar with him, the whole village didn’t notice anything unusual and nobody found out that he had left for three years without anyone knowing. Jiang Hui relaxed instantly.

Knowing that Liu Village was fine, Jiang Hui did not rush back immediately, but crossed millions of miles to reach the Taoist State where his First Spirit Body was.

…

…

Red Fire State, with a radius of hundreds of millions of miles, is a slightly smaller Taoist Region. It is located in a land of lofty mountains and ridges, with many mountain ranges and hills. Although the environment is a bit harsh, the spiritual energy is quite abundant, and there is a large river crossing over more than a dozen states, flowing endlessly.

Luo City, one of the states of Red Fire State, has a population of several billion, with the strongest Taoist Orthodoxy being the Red Fire Palace.

As one of the large powers that has left a legacy thousands of years ago, the Red Fire Palace’s development in recent years has been very rapid. The number of disciples in the door has reached hundreds of thousands, making it the strongest native force in the Red Fire State. The Red Fire State was named after it, similar to the Five Elements State with the Immortal Mountain standing guard.

Although it is named Immortal Mountain, it is in fact an ancient Divine Mountain, and its real name is Five Elements Mountain.

Hundred Flowers Building, although the name sounds a bit frivolous and makes people can’t help but imagine, is actually just a tavern, having eight floors and standing tall, it is the largest tavern in Luo City. Every day, either officials from mundane kingdoms, young masters from large families, the heads of families, all are rich bosses.

Jiang Hui didn’t know about these things. All he knew was that the tavern looked quite well decorated. It was luxurious yet simple and elegant, with a sense of simple refinement.

As for money, Jiang Hui had more than enough, be it gold, silver, jewels or spirit stones, all of which were acquired from the dragon egg. Even if he didn’t have the necessary currency, he could easily create some more using the Technique of Creation.

“Sir, you must be new here. Coming to our Hundred Flowers Building is definitely not a misstep on your part. Our fine wines and dishes are unmatched in all of Luo City!”

The waiter, a master of reading people, quickly recognized Jiang Hui’s bearing and aura as those of a distinguished guest. Therefore, he greeted him with a flattering smile, filled with enthusiasm.

Jiang Hui did not refuse.

In the end, led by the waiter, Jiang Hui was brought to a private room overlooking the river.

The reason he decided to meet here was an impulsive decision. It had been a long time since he had experienced mundane life, and he couldn’t help but to feel a bit nostalgic.

Soon, a series of exquisite dishes were served.

After trying some, Jiang Hui found that, although there weren’t as many seasonings or additives as in his previous life, the taste was still quite good. The flavours of the ingredients themselves were really highlighted, and even though it was slightly lacking in terms of depth of flavour, it was even more tender and sweet.

After a few rounds of drinks, a sturdy figure in front of Jiang Hui suddenly appeared.

It was a handsome young man with a face somewhat similar to Jiang Hui. His body was straight as a rock, like a sword about to be unsheathed. His body language conveyed a sharp edge.

“Master, I encountered some people who should not have crossed my path on the way, which caused my delay. Please forgive me for my tardiness!”

The young man bowed slightly, speaking in a tone of utmost respect.

The man was no one else but the First Spirit Body.

“You should know what happens if you deceive me!”

Jiang Hui took a swig from his cup of fine wine but didn’t even bother to lift his head as he spoke.

“Master, even if I had the guts… I wouldn’t dare deceive you!” The First Spirit Body pursed his lips. Hearing Jiang Hui’s words, his face instantly turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth and spoke.

Jiang Hui couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh. Although the First Spirit Body was essentially part of him, he pursued his own thoughts and reasoning, essentially becoming a completely new individual.

However, did he not realize that as a part of himself, anything he does would be known to Jiang Hui himself?!

“My patience is limited, and we share a mental connection. You should know this, right!”

At the dinner table carved out of Phoebe Nanmu, Jiang Hui’s voice suddenly turned cold. An invisible pressure fell abruptly from the air. The First Spirit Body could not resist at all and was directly forced to kneel before Jiang Hui.

“Master, I lied. I did not encounter any troublemakers. Miss Li caught a cold yesterday, and I was worried about her, so I arrived late!”

Taking a deep breath, the First Spirit Body confessed honestly.

Being a fragment of himself, he knew Jiang Hui’s power better than anyone else.

However… he was still a living being. All living beings experience feelings, attachments, and passion. This was the universal truth for all spirits. Why was the master so angry?!

“I hope this is the only time!” As Jiang Hui withdrew his pressure, the mountain-like weight that was on the First Spirit Body was lifted like a receding tide…

“I understand!” The First Spirit Body didn’t hesitate and promptly nodded in agreement.
