Chapter 482: Immortal and Divine Path
Jun Tianyun walked inside as he saw a middle aged man. He was sitting beside a golden table. The table shone under the sunlight, as it was made with pure gold.
" Haha, I have been waiting for you, Mr. Jun. You look young as I have heard."
" I am indeed a young man, Prince Rehman." Jun Tianyun shrugged as he took his seat.
" I am indeed grateful to you, Mr. Jun."
" Please, Prince Rehman, I am younger than you. You can simply call me Young Master."
" Very well, Young Master Jun." Prince Rehman nodded. " Please, What would you like to drink?"
" I shall leave that on Prince's taste. I know you won't dissapoint me."
" Very well, How about a glass of damascan grape wine? I believe it's fitting for today's occasion."
Soon enough, a beautiful attendant came and served wine to them in golden chalices. Jun Tianyun picked a chalice and took a sip.
A cold, refreshing taste with a bitter tint filled his mouth. He couldn't help but savor the wine.
" Indeed, A perfect choice. It's one of the finest wines I have drank."
" I am glad Young Master Jun liked it." Prince Rehman smiled. " I am really grateful to you for your timely help. Without you, the Water Ghost Domain would have created a big headache."
" Indeed, It's one of your biggest oil and mineral reserve after all." Jun Tianyun nodded as he took another sip.
Many would have think the oil mines outside are the real source of all the fossil fuels across the world. However, a great amount comes from the secret domains, which only a handful of forces controls.
" Our neighbour countries were waiting for a chance, so they can take down our business. If the monsters of Water Ghost Domain flooded out, it would have caused a social and economical crisis in the Sajhad Nation." Prince Rehman.
" It's truly the god's will that you arrived and helped us."
" Well, It was a deal in the end. You help me, I help you, it's a transaction.' Jun Tianyun chuckled.
" So, What about the collaboration project with Sky Fire Group?"
" We have already finalized the deal. With this, not only the Sky Fire Group, but the entire Xia Nation would be allies of our Sajhad Nation." Prince Rehman laughed.
" I am somewhat envious of you, Young Master Jun. You are already handling a national company like Sky Fire Group at your age."
" I used to handle. Now, I am not."
" Pardon me?" Prince Rehman looked at Jun Tianyun with surprised eyes.
" I have resigned my position." Jun Tianyun shrugged. " I felt being the chairman was far too restrictive. So, I left the position."
" Hehe, Young Master Jun, You have merely left the position. But the company is still under your influence."
" Is that so?" Jun Tianyun grinned. " Maybe? Who knows?"
" Haha, But now, What do you wish to do?" Prince Rehman asked in a curious tone.
" Well, I am thinking of roaming across the world and see new things. Basically, Think me as a vagabond now."
" Then why don't you stay in our Sajhad Nation for the time being? I will do everything and give you the best hospitality."
" Thank you, Prince Rehman. However, I would have to decline your offer."
" I shall be staying till the end of the mercenary tournament. After that, I shall leave."
" Very well, Till then, Allow me to take care of every need of yours." Prince Rehman smiled.
" What you did was too much for us. So, What do you request as a reward, Young Master Jun?"
" I wonder what you think you can give to me?"
" Haha, I heard Nazia say you want me to choose the rewards. Very well, I would like to show you something."
Taking out a golden box, Prince Rehman opened it. Inside it was a glittering dagger, with a hilt wrapped with black leather.
" Interesting, That's a rather high grade magical item." Jun Tianyun picked it up and swung it.
" Indeed, It was a treasure of our Third Sultan. It's said his army general hunted a desert monster who blocked a river stream. This dagger was forged from his blood and bones."
" Not only it represent the symbol of our Imperial Family, it also carries an immense strength. Pouring some energy, it will be able to create a small sandstorm around you, aiding you in escape and defense."
" And this is a black gold card of Sajhad International Bank with ten billion Federal Dollars."
" Haha, Prince Rehman is sure generous. Since that's the case, I shall accept it."
Jun Tianyun laughed and pocketed both things. Prince Rehman smiled and passed him another card.
" This is the official invitation for Young Master Jun and the Heaven's Calamity to the Mercenary Tournament. I hope your team joins and shows their prowess to the world."
" I am merely a spectator. Please send this invitation to the Southern Island Nation." Jun Tianyun smiled.
" Very well."
After a small chatting, Jun Tianyun left the office. Prince Rehman's expression turned thoughtful as he sighed.
" So, What do you think?"
" His strength is probably at the Martial Master realm. But… I feel a dangerous aura around him. More dangerous than the Federal Union bastards."
" Not to mention, he already seemed to discover my presence."
" Is that so?" Prince Rehman was surprised.
" What about the preparation of the tournament?"

" The Desert Ruin Palace domain is ready. We are running a final inspection to see if there are any anomalies."
" Very well, This tournament is very important for us and our country's image." Prince Rehman nodded.
" Keep an eye on all the incoming guests. Some of them are troublesome."
" Yes, My Prince."
As Jun Tianyun returned, he sat in a meditation. Without another thought, he opened the Sublime Art of Natural Breathing.
Su Qingayo sat beside Jun Tianyun as both of them rested inside God's Space.
As Jun Tianyun studied the basic cultivation technique, he noticed some faint differences.
' One needs a spiritual root inside the dantian to be able to perceive the natural energy of the heaven and earth, which is also called as spiritual qi.'
' Spiritual qi is birthed due to Heavenly Dao. If the Heavenly Dao disrupts, the flow of spiritual qi also breaks.'
'Gathering the spiritual qi and condensing in the dantian, nourishing the spiritual root to create a foundation."
" Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Dao Transformation, Heavenly Ascension, six stages of cultivation."
" What stage you reached, Sister Qingyao?" Jun Tianyun couldn't help but ask.
" What do you think?" Su Qingyao pursed her lips as she looked at Jun Tianyun.
" Peak of Foundation Establishment Realm?"
" Are you mocking me?"
Su Qingyao annoyed as she pushed Jun Tianyun away.
" I was an exalted Dao Transformation realm cultivator. Hmph! Dare to belittle me? Courting death!"
" Well, I am indeed courting you, Sister Qingyao." Jun Tianyun chuckled.
" But what do you think? Can someone practice cultivation here?"
" This planet, the immortal laws of heavenly dao is missing." Su Qingyao shook her head.
" The energy is still abundant, but without the heavenly dao, can you really call it immortal cultivation?"
"Differences in dimension cause different power systems, huh?" Jun Tianyun pondered. " Heavenly Ascension is the highest realm in cultivation? How is that compared to a Nascent Divinity?"
" Path of Immortality and Path of Divinity are different." Su Qingyao explained.
" A divinity borrows the power of faith, establish a divine name, a divine avatar, a divine altar to use the faith and grow."
" Meanwhile, a cultivator relies on his comprehension of the world around himself and grows stronger and stronger."
" Growth of a cultivator is faster and more flexible. Meanwhile, growth of divinity is extremely slow, yet more impactful than cultivators."
" Each has their own advantage. Immortal cultivation can be all encompassing, and a single individual can fight against heaven and earth."
" As for your question, An Heavenly Ascension Realm cultivator can kill a Nascent Divinity. But A hundred of them can't fight with an Ascendant Divinity."
" Meanwhile, a divinity has more advantage in controlling various aspects of the law of the universe, surpassing the comprehension of a cultivator."
" But I will recommend you to follow the path of godhood as the system will aid you with this."
Jun Tianyun nodded with a sigh as his gaze returned to the cultivation manual.
' I hope I can gain something from it.'
