The Immortal Taoist Chapter 16

Chapter 16 - I, Jiang Zhong, am worth living this life!

Only after an entire two hours did Ling Dao's body finish transforming. It could be said that this hour was the time when the Desolate Immortal Slaying Force tested Ling Dao. If Ling Dao fainted halfway, then he would really die.

But now it was different. He had endured, and although the pain was unbearable, he had always remained awake. In the end, the hellish life at the bottom of the Divine Sword Mountain was not lived in vain. Furthermore, the Desolate Immortal Slaying Force had made him wild with joy, as he had finally solved all of the problems he had faced in so many years.

Originally, cultivating Desolate Immortal Slaying Force required a huge amount of heaven and earth treasures, as well as a huge amount of medicinal power to temper the body. The first step is to reach the third level of the fleshly body. If one were to rely solely on hard work, who knows how long it would take for him to reach the pinnacle.

Under normal circumstances, a normal person's Physical Realm cultivation would only be the lowest standard. This was because after reaching the lowest standards, one could then advance into the true qi realm. To cultivate to the highest level was simply too difficult. Without enough heaven and earth treasures and top-level body tempering cultivation methods, it was simply impossible.

In the three stages of the fleshly body, the first stage was the Body Refinement Realm. Fortunately, in this one hour, Ling Dao had broken through to the Body Refinement Realm. Before, he was extremely weak, but now, he was completely different. His entire body was filled with power.

The current him no longer looked like a sickly plant. His face was rosy and full of vitality. Even the wound from before had completely disappeared as if it had never existed. The Desolate Immortal Slaying Force began to circulate in his body, continuously tempering his flesh.

What made Ling Dao happy was that the Desolate Immortal Slaying Force could absorb the sword Qi in his body. As long as he continued to cultivate the Desolate Immortal Slaying Force, the countless sword energy in his body would one day be completely eliminated. Furthermore, refining these sword energies would be able to strengthen his physical body.

Under normal circumstances, he would have to obtain many heavenly and earthly treasures in order to continue his cultivation. But now, he did not need any heavenly resources. The sword energy in his body was better than any medicinal effects, and it seemed to be endless.

"Grandpa Jiang, the problem with my body has been cured! "Hehe, from now on, I can cultivate. I have already completed the Refinement Realm!"

After putting on his clothes, Ling Dao quickly reported the good news to Jiang Zhong. Even though Jiang Zhong had always believed that he would be able to become a peerless expert, he was still too ethereal in the end. After all, Ling Dao didn't even have a Physical Realm for fifteen years.

"Your Highness, are you serious?"

The situation before made Jiang Zhong worry for a long time. Now, not only was Ling Dao unharmed, his face was rosy and his breathing was smooth. It was obvious that he was very different from before. However, all of this was just too sudden. Seeing Ling Dao nod his head heavily, Jiang Zhong laughed out loud happily.

"Haha, the heavens have eyes! His Highness was finally able to cultivate. With his highness' ability, he would definitely be able to rule the world in the future, hahaha … "

Naturally, Jiang Zhong was extremely happy to be able to cultivate. Even if he had recovered his cultivation, he probably wouldn't be this excited. He could not stop laughing, but his eyes were brimming with tears. Other people simply couldn't understand Jiang Zhong's current state of mind.

"Grandpa Jiang, in the future, if it's my turn to protect you, anyone who dares to even touch a single hair on Grandpa Jiang, I'll kill them!"

Recalling the grievances suffered by the Celestial Sect, a trace of hostility flashed across Ling Dao's eyes. He didn't care about it himself, but he would never forget what Ye Hongxuan had done to Jiang Zhong.

"Your Highness, with these words of yours, my entire life will be worth it. Unfortunately, I'm afraid that I won't be able to wait for that day to come. I'm well aware of my own situation, and I'm afraid that I won't have much time left. Since Your Highness is able to cultivate, I will be at ease in the future! "

Originally, Jiang Zhong was worried about Ling Dao. After all, Ling Dao did not have any cultivation, and he had no one to rely on in this world. But now that Ling Dao was able to cultivate, as the son of the King, his future achievements would definitely not be low.

Puff.

With that, Jiang Zhong spat out a mouthful of blood. His injuries were severe to begin with, and with Ye Hong Xuan's kick, if not for the fact that he was worried about Ling Dao, he would have died long ago. It was already a miracle that he could last until now.

"Grandpa Jiang!"

Ling Dao arrived beside Jiang Zhong in the blink of an eye. Looking at Jiang Zhong's actions, all the happiness he had earlier disappeared, and all that remained was sadness. If it could be exchanged for Jiang Zhong being able to live a peaceful life, he would rather not be able to cultivate it in his entire life.

"Your Highness, don't be sad. This person will die in the end." In any case, I have already lived for so many years, and I have traveled the battlefield for so many decades, so the Prince and His Highness have treated me so well. In this life, I, Jiang Zhong, am worth it! "No regrets!"

In the next moment, Ling Dao stayed close to Jiang Zhong. In the face of death, Jiang Zhong was not afraid at all. As long as Ling Dao took good care of himself, then he would have nothing to worry about.

"Your Highness, in the future I will not be able to protect you. I am not a prince, so I will not be able to support the heavens for you!" I don't know anyone from any big powers, but I have a brother who is an elder in Sky-splitting Sword Sect. Bring this letter to the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, and you will definitely become a disciple. Although the Sky-splitting Sword Sect was far from being comparable to the Celestial Sect, it was still a sword sect.

With your majesty's talent, becoming strong is inevitable. Right now, what His Highness needs is only a springboard, and what I can do for His Highness is to provide him with this springboard. One day, Your Highness will become a godly dragon that roamed the nine heavens, but unfortunately, I won't be able to see it! "

Jiang Zhong took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over to Ling Dao. The only thing he could do was to let Ling Dao become a Sky Cracking Sword Sect Disciple. Right now, Ling Dao was too young. Without the protection of his sect and a place to stay, it was truly difficult for him to survive in this world.

"No, Grandpa Jiang, don't speak nonsense! You will live a hundred years! I still need to treat your wounds! I still want to protect you! I still have to show you respect! "

Tears also flickered in Ling Dao's eyes. In his entire life, he had never cried before. But now, tears were silently streaming down his face, Jiang Zhong's situation, was obviously already past the limit.

"Your Highness, with these words of yours, even if I am to die, I will smile as I enter the underworld! However, His Highness must promise me one thing, otherwise I will die with regret! Promise me, before you have the strength, you must not go forth for revenge! "Promise me!"

In the face of death, Jiang Zhong did not consider himself at all, but Ling Dao instead. Tears fell drop by drop onto the ground. Jiang Zhong's love for him, was definitely not inferior to anyone's. But now, Jiang Zhong was actually leaving this world, which made him sad to death.

"Your Highness, in my next life, I will still follow you! I will accompany you to roam the battlefield and conquer the world! "Hahaha …"
