Chapter 198: Beauty in the Snowstorm

Several hours later, Jiang Xincheng finally stood up, his face covered in a bright smile.

Inside his Dantian, a huge cloud drifted slowly. It was a cloud made of pure Devouring Origin Force, several times more refined and powerful than when he was in the Bone Training Realm.

The reason the gap between a Primordial Warrior in the Bone Training Realm and a Great Yuan Warrior in the Cloud Condensation Realm was so huge was not only because a Great Yuan Warrior in the Cloud Condensation Realm could release Primordial Force outward, giving them extremely strong attack power, but more importantly, it was due to the difference in the purity and amount of Primordial Force between the two. That was the key point.

The purity and amount of Primordial Force differed so much that their reaction speed and attack speed were also several times apart. How could a Primordial Warrior in the Bone Training Realm be a match for a Great Yuan Warrior in the Cloud Condensation Realm?

If Jiang Xincheng had not relied on the help of the lake water and the dung water before, how could he have killed those two Great Yuan Warriors in the Cloud Condensation Realm?

Besides, under the effect of the more refined Primordial Force, Jiang Xincheng’s physical strength also greatly increased. At this moment, Jiang Xincheng’s total body strength had reached three hundred thousand jin, which could be called a natural divine power.

In his Spirit Sense Sea, after his Primordial Force broke through to the Early Stage Cloud Condensation Realm, Jiang Xincheng’s Spiritual Sense also reached the peak of the mid General Realm, only a step away from the late General Realm. Jiang Xincheng planned to try to break through the bottleneck of his Spiritual Sense and step into the late General Realm after some more time.

His Soul Flame also turned thick white and grew a bit bigger than before. As his Primordial Force broke through to the Early Stage Cloud Condensation Realm, Jiang Xincheng’s physical strength, Spiritual Sense, and soul all experienced a leap-like improvement.

After several months of hard cultivation, Jiang Xincheng’s progress was quite significant. Especially after stepping into the Cloud Condensation Realm today, Jiang Xincheng truly stood among the strong ones in Tianhai City.

Thinking back to his previous life, it was not until he was nearly fifty years old that Jiang Xincheng luckily broke through to the Early Stage Cloud Condensation Realm, taking a full thirty to forty years. But in this life, after being reborn, in just a few months, Jiang Xincheng broke through all the way from the early Muscle Training Realm until today, when he crossed the bottleneck and became a Great Yuan Warrior in the Cloud Condensation Realm.

The difference between his past life and this life was so great that Jiang Xincheng felt as if he were in a dream, and also felt like crying.

After experiencing so much pain in his past life, he had this life’s explosion. After experiencing so many regrets and sorrows in his past life, he got the chance to make up for everything in this life. How could Jiang Xincheng not cry?

He thanked heaven for giving him a chance to start over. In this life, Jiang Xincheng must climb to the very top, sweep away all the regrets and sorrows from his past life, and achieve the great deeds that he could only dream of in his past life.

Eternal life, the peak of martial arts, being invincible in the world—this was Jiang Xincheng’s pursuit in this life. Only in this way could he control his own destiny, protect what he wanted to protect, and never let the tragedies of his past life happen again.

Since that was the case, he would rest a bit and then continue cultivating, fully stabilizing his Early Stage Cloud Condensation Realm. After that, he would break through to the late General Realm, and then start cultivating Silkworm Devours the Sun Chant, Bamboo Forest Sword Art, and that powerful Movement Combat Skill, making his strength soar several levels, so he could compete with that old enemy from the Simon family.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xincheng went to eat something and then immersed himself in cultivation again, letting the snow fall outside the window while he wandered in the world of cultivation.

Time flowed. This snowfall was heavy and long-lasting. For several days in a row, the entire Tianhai City was covered in a snowstorm. It was said to be the biggest snowfall Tianhai City had seen in decades.

Jiang Xincheng never went out. When he was hungry, he ate the ready-to-eat food he had bought earlier. When he was thirsty, he drank juice. The rest of the time, he spent on cultivation, completely solidifying his Cultivation Foundation in the Early Stage Cloud Condensation Realm, so there was no longer any risk of his realm falling.

Jiang Xincheng planned to cultivate for another ten days to half a month, then take the second Yangshan Pill to make his strength leap and rush to a higher peak as soon as possible.

On this day, the snowstorm was heavy. Jiang Xincheng was cultivating when there was a knock on the door.

“Xincheng little brother, open the door quickly, it’s so cold.” A sweet voice came, and Jiang Xincheng immediately knew who it was.

A smile crossed his face. Jiang Xincheng quickly got up from the bed and ran to open the door for Lin Anan. Lin Anan came in carrying a large thermos, her head and face covered in snow.

Jiang Xincheng quickly held her little hand and led her into the room. He took out a towel and brushed the snow off her. After brushing, he took a small blanket and covered Lin Anan with it, while turning the heater to the highest setting.

Lin Anan felt the warm air in the room and could not help but let out a long sigh. “So warm! Xincheng little brother, you’re really living it up. You actually decorated this broken little yard so well—it’s almost like a five-star hotel.”

Although he still lived in a remote farmhouse, Jiang Xincheng was not someone who did not know how to enjoy life, especially since he now had enough power and wealth.

So, while the outside of this small yard looked a bit shabby, the inside was decorated very luxuriously. Wooden floors, air conditioning, underfloor heating, a chandelier, a sofa, a large LCD TV, a home theater system… everything was there. It hardly looked like a farmhouse, but more like a luxury hotel.

The contrast between the inside and outside was so great that it gave a strange sense of disharmony, but it was very comfortable to live in, making Lin Anan quite attracted to it.

“Eat it while it’s hot. I went shopping today and passed by that small alley, so I bought it for you.” Lin Anan opened the thermos. It was full of Mushroom Tomato Noodles, and the noodles were still very hot, obviously not made long ago. It was even possible that Lin Anan went specifically to buy it and then quickly brought it over for Jiang Xincheng to eat.

Jiang Xincheng felt warmth in his heart. He took out two bowls from the room and served one for himself and one for Lin Anan. “One bowl for you, one bowl for me.”

“Okay.” Lin Anan gave a sweet smile, took the bowl, and started eating.

The tomato noodles were as delicious as ever, savory and tasty with a slight sourness. The soup was especially tasty. Moreover, eating a bowl of hot tomato noodles on a snowy winter day felt incredibly satisfying.

Looking at the pretty girl in front of him, eating the tomato noodles with big bites, her small face delicate like a painting, Jiang Xincheng smiled slightly. Suddenly, he felt a special attraction and could not help but lean forward gently and kiss Lin Anan’s smooth, slightly cool cheek.

“Ah…”

Lin Anan did not expect Jiang Xincheng to do this to her. She froze for a moment before realizing what had happened. Her face instantly turned red. She stretched out her chopsticks and hit Jiang Xincheng once. “Stinky Xincheng, what are you doing? Your mouth is all oily, and you got it all over my face. Don’t kiss me while we’re eating.”

“So, Sister Anan, if my face isn’t oily and it’s not during mealtime, then it’s okay to kiss?” Jiang Xincheng asked with a smile, teasing her.
