Chapter 1655: Chapter 1655: Opportunity Knocks at the Door

Wunian paused for a moment, then nodded.

"I must trouble Master Jiang. If Master Jiang encounters the Buddhist disciple of my sect, tell him to meet me under the Bodhi tree; he will understand."

"Alright, alright, if I see him, I’ll definitely deliver the message."

Jiang Xiaobai cupped his hands and said, "If there’s nothing else, I won’t disturb you any further."

As he spoke, he pulled Su Mei along and quickly left. For some reason, whenever he looked at Monk Wunian, he had the unsettling feeling of being completely seen through.

This monk is up to something!

After Jiang Xiaobai left, Monk Wunian revealed a sly and enigmatic smile.

"Master Jiang truly lives up to his reputation. To meet him today... quite terrifying indeed."

Monk Wunian softly muttered to himself before turning and heading off in another direction.

Meanwhile, countless powerhouses in the Earth Immortal World were converging in this direction!

Something big was about to happen!

...

In the Underworld, Jiang Xiaobai finally returned. The first thing he did was hurry to the small courtyard to check on Ao Yan’s condition. She hadn’t woken up yet, but she was close.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He couldn’t miss Yan’er waking up. If she opened her eyes and didn’t see him, would she feel disappointed?

"What’s wrong? After returning from the intermediary world, it feels like you’ve become a different person," Qin Ruonan said curiously to Jiang Xiaobai. "Did you find a solution?"

"Sort of. There might be some tasks to handle in the coming days. Don’t slack off—focus on improving your strength. Miss Qin, you’re only at the Xianzun realm. In the Earth Immortal World, that’s really insufficient."

Jiang Xiaobai spoke earnestly.

Qin Ruonan’s lip twitched. "Since when did you start lecturing me? So what if I can’t win in a fight? You still owe me one favor. If the time comes and I ask you to save me, will you do it or not?"

"Uh... let’s talk about that later. I need to cultivate now!"

Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly ran into the small courtyard and immersed himself in cultivation.

Regardless of the situation, he couldn’t neglect his cultivation. He needed to continue improving in order to use those two precious treasures!

Although he could already use the law card, Jiang Xiaobai always believed that raising his strength further would make it safer and more reliable.

As he absorbed energy, the Primordial Chaos Millstone in his body spun wildly, greedily fighting for Jiang Xiaobai’s spiritual power, much to his frustration.

Last time, he had negotiated with the Primordial Chaos Millstone, asking it not to compete for his Heaven’s Dao blessings, allowing him to break through to Hunyuan Daluo.

But now, this guy seemed to be going even further. Previously, it had only taken a small portion. Now, it wanted half, even giving the impression it might push him out altogether!

"Even if you’re greedy, there should be limits! If it continues like this, how am I supposed to cultivate? Resources don’t come cheap, you know!"

Jiang Xiaobai scolded seriously.

The Primordial Chaos Millstone began acting up, ignoring him completely and instead intensifying its energy-grabbing, leaving Jiang Xiaobai no match for it!

This infuriated him. Spiritual power was the foundation for improving cultivation realms—and for his survival in the Earth Immortal World!

He couldn’t let it run wild any longer!

"Stop! You and I must settle this today and come to an agreement. If you keep acting recklessly, neither of us will benefit!"

Jiang Xiaobai sternly declared, "First, let me ask you a question: how much more do you need to consume before you can speak?"

The Primordial Chaos Millstone sensed Jiang Xiaobai’s anger and obediently paused, transmitting a somewhat aggrieved intention.

Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback. "Uh, I forgot you can’t speak yet... Ahem, let’s set that question aside for now. I understand you need energy, but I do too. From now on, it’s seven parts mine and three parts yours. Can you agree to that?"

The Primordial Chaos Millstone hesitated for a long time before transmitting a message, still seeming quite aggrieved, but this was already a compromise.

As Jiang Xiaobai continued absorbing spiritual energy, he pondered whether he should seek advice from King Qin Guang to learn how many prismatic spaces remained in the Underworld. He might as well clean them all out!

Speak of the devil—King Qin Guang arrived just after Jiang Xiaobai began cultivating.

"Kid, get up! You’re saved!"

Jiang Xiaobai leapt to his feet, staring at him incredulously. "What do you mean? Did you find a solution to my lifespan crisis?"

King Qin Guang replied excitedly, "I didn’t find it—it was delivered by an unparalleled expert!"

Jiang Xiaobai immediately understood; this must be the destiny Yang Jian had mentioned. But who was this unparalleled expert?

"Well... I doubt you know the name. Have you heard of the Eastern Azure Emperor? That esteemed figure just sent over a cosmic leaf, saying it’ll be beneficial for you to consume it!"

Upon hearing Qin Guang’s explanation, Jiang Xiaobai finally grasped the situation but wasn’t particularly surprised.

After all, that guy had already asked him for help once. It seemed clear now that he and the yellow-robed Taoist were accomplices.

They surely knew everything about his condition!

"Hmph, those two old dogs are infuriating! They had a solution but kept it under wraps, making me worry needlessly!"

Jiang Xiaobai was fuming and extended his hand to King Qin Guang. "Where’s the cosmic leaf? Let me see what those two are up to!"

Though King Qin Guang didn’t understand Jiang Xiaobai’s sudden attitude shift, he still handed over the cosmic leaf promptly and said, "The Six Paths of Reincarnation have just resumed operation. The benefits from your earlier dealings might not have reached you yet, but wait a few days and they should arrive."

"Got it. That’s not as important; resolving the lifespan issue is the priority."

Jiang Xiaobai chuckled. King Qin Guang didn’t linger further, leaving Jiang Xiaobai alone in the courtyard.

However, as he walked away, King Qin Guang suddenly slapped his thigh in realization.

"Dammit, this is my estate! Why am I being so deferential?"

...

Back in the courtyard, Jiang Xiaobai examined the cosmic leaf for a while and mentally communicated with the Primordial Chaos Millstone, hoping to see if it could discern anything.

But the millstone only cared about consumption. Once it sensed the leaf’s immense power, it grew excited and began spinning faster.

"Alright, alright, since it’s supposedly helpful, I’ll eat it."

"Still, I have no idea what these guys are plotting!"

Without hesitation, Jiang Xiaobai popped the leaf into his mouth. It melted instantly, requiring no chewing. Soon after, a refreshing energy coursed through his meridians, bringing him an unprecedented sense of comfort.

It felt akin to being cradled in his mother’s arms—peaceful, serene.

But that bliss was short-lived. In mere seconds, an excruciating pain erupted from every pore of his body.

Within three seconds of agony, Jiang Xiaobai lost consciousness and collapsed near the crystal coffin.

Meanwhile, in the Celestial Palace, two unparalleled experts stood with tense expressions.

"It’s begun. I wonder what the outcome will be."

The yellow-robed Taoist appeared visibly anxious. "Hey, are you sure this will work? If this fails, there’s no turning back for us."

"It will work. The two of us poured millions of years’ worth of effort into this. Failure is not an option!"

Qing Emperor’s face was solemn and his eyes gleamed with unwavering confidence.

This time, they were determined to succeed, ensuring the world could open a new Chapter!
