I, Meng Chuan, must protect the three people in front of me with this life of mine at all costs.
In the past, he had only thought of slaying demons. Now, his wife and children occupied the other half of his attention.
Meng Chuan felt very happy at this moment.
“Ah Chuan.” Liu Qiyue smiled and handed a child to her husband. “This is the elder sister, and the other is the younger brother.”
“Okay.” Meng Chuan hugged his daughter. His daughter looked at the “giant” curiously.
“Let’s go see Father-in-law,” said Meng Chuan.
After a while, the couple carried their children out of the room. Liu Yebai was already anxious from waiting outside.
“Oh, my two good grandchildren.” When Liu Yebai saw the babies, his eyes narrowed in happiness. He ran over excitedly and reached out to touch his granddaughter’s face before touching his grandson’s ear.
“Wa!” This made the boy cry.
“Waah!” The girl cried as well.
“Hahaha…” Liu Yebai laughed until his eyes were moist.
Meng Chuan and his wife immediately coaxed the two children.
“Oh, oh, oh, be good, be good.”
Final Chapter of Volume—Demons Wreaking Havoc
Chapter 217 - Particle Space
The new year was very lively.
Liu Yebai happily brought his grandson and granddaughter out to shop, carrying each child with one hand. In midair, a gray bird followed him. It constantly looked down and watched the two young ones closely. Ever since the two were born, this third Firmament avian demon monarch became their secret guardian! With the twin’s grandfather protecting them in the open and the avian demon monarch protecting them in secret, Meng Chuan and his wife felt at ease.
They both felt like they owed their children a normal childhood. However, their circumstances didn’t permit it. They spent a lot of time cultivating and needed to travel everywhere. All they could do was hire two more women to take good care of the children.
“Dad, you have to be careful when out with the twins.” Liu Qiyue and Meng Chuan had just returned when they bumped into Liu Yebai.
“Don’t worry about me.” Liu Yebai chuckled. He had originally helped Meng Dajiang manage the Earth Net’s intelligence network in Eastcalm Prefecture, but he was now focused on taking care of his grandson and granddaughter. As for his good brother, Meng Dajiang? He naturally felt sorry for him. Meng Dajiang had taken a leave of absence a few days ago to visit them before returning to Eastcalm Prefecture hurriedly. After all, he was in charge of Earth Net’s intelligence network in Eastcalm Prefecture.
As the Meng family clan leader, he couldn’t be as willful as Liu Yebai.
“Ah Chuan.” In the study room, Liu Qiyue frowned at her husband—who was preparing his paint—and said, “For the past few months, we’ve had more rescue missions than in the past, but have you noticed something? The number of demon monarchs attacking cities in the area that we are responsible for is gradually decreasing.
“However, most demon monarchs have long retreated by the time we arrived. There aren’t many demon monarchs that we can kill,” said Liu Qiyue. “They are clearly here, so why has their attack frequency decreased?”
“When you were pregnant, I acted alone. I did my best to rescue cities and kill the demons. Back then, my speed was faster than now.” Meng Chuan explained with a smile, “The demons aren’t stupid. They will gain critical information from every attack. The demon monarchs will attack for shorter periods of time and retreat even earlier. Therefore, we often find no demon monarchs by the time we arrive. This is also a good thing because the earlier they retreat, the less damage to the city.”
“I’m saying that the demon monarchs’ attacking frequency is reducing overall,” said Liu Qiyue. “Don’t you think something’s wrong?”
“Yes.” Meng Chuan indifferently said, “Qiyue, there are far more demon monarchs in the Demon Realm than Godfiends. How many demon monarchs are there in the various prefectures and counties? The Demon Realm hasn’t truly shown its strength yet!”
“What do you mean?” Liu Qiyue was alarmed.
“If you were a demon and chose to attack the human world, would you use your full strength from the very beginning?” asked Meng Chuan. “I would first send a scouting force into the human world to grasp the enemy situation. Isn’t that expected?”
“You mean that… the demon monarchs currently in the human world are just scouts?” Liu Qiyue’s heart tightened.
“We’ve reinforcing cities across two states. The Wu State and Qian State are large bustling states. I’ve estimated that there are about 30 third Firmament demon monarchs in a prefecture on average. Of course, more than half have died,” said Meng Chuan. “However, there are over a thousand prefectures in the human world! There are about 30,000 third Firmament demon monarchs in the human world right now. What does this number mean to the Demon Realm as a whole?”
Liu Qiyue nodded solemnly. “Yes, I understand where you are coming from.”
“Don’t worry. The various states have several Marquis Godfiends. There are several peak Godfiend teams. No matter how many demon monarchs come, they will only be slaughtered,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.
“The demons are sinister and cunning. If this batch of demon monarchs are only scouts, things won’t be simple when their true army begins invading the human world.” Liu Qiyue was worried.
“What’s there to worry about? The demons are so much stronger than humans. Both of us know that victory is destined to be very difficult to obtain,” said Meng Chuan with a relaxed smile. “All we need to do is become stronger. The stronger we are, the more demons we can deal with. By the way, Qiyue, your strength has increased significantly.”
Liu Qiyue’s eyes lit up as she nodded. “That’s right. After that phoenix feather’s power fused with me, my divine body became much stronger. Likewise for my flames. I have even greater affinity with the Dao of Fire now. After I gave birth, I gained some vague insights into the Realm of Dao.”
“Realm of Dao?” Meng Chuan was shocked. After reaching the peak of Saber Soul, he had always been stumped by the Saber Dao realm.
Was his wife gaining insights into the Realm of Dao before him?
Unbeknownst to him, Liu Qiyue had actually reached the Realm of Soul before him.
“Yes.” Liu Qiyue nodded. “My Phoenix Flames are split into Flames of Nirvana and Flames of Life. I think I should be able to reach the Realm of Dao within half a year.”
Meng Chuan was overjoyed when he heard that. In present times, the stronger his wife was, the better.
“However, condensing an Essence Soul is a little troublesome,” said Liu Qiyue. “The Flames of Life nurtures my soul for extended periods, allowing my soul to grow stronger and gradually condense into an Essence Soul. However, it will take a long time. The other method is to use Phoenix’s Nirvana. When undergoing nirvana, one’s strength will soar, allowing one to gain insights into a higher realm. The Flames of Nirvana can also transform one’s soul.”
Meng Chuan nodded.
This was the case with the Phoenix Divine Body. Casting Phoenix’s Nirvana consumed one’s lifespan, but their strength would increase rapidly. This made many Godfiends envious and jealous. Many Godfiends found it difficult to raise their strength, and it was difficult to seek answers from one’s inner self. As for Phoenix Divine Body experts, they could rely on their bloodline to soar in strength.
Phoenix. Meng Chuan suddenly thought of the feather. Was the Phoenix Divine Body related to the original owner of the feather? Perhaps that was why it was so heaven-defying. Just the phoenix bloodline alone was enough to become one of twelve transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies.
…
In a chamber at night, Meng Chuan sat cross-legged.
Boom!
Flames rose from his body, and after a long while, he retracted them. Frost then covered his body, and after a long while, it dissipated. Next, his body began emittin
g golden light. When it faded, a faint black glow covered his body…
Meng Chuan’s body produced all sorts of phenomena as he cultivated the physical body cultivation system. This cultivation system was stronger than the Godfiend, demon monarch, and Skydemon cultivation systems. However, it was difficult and harsh to cultivate.
One needed Cosmos Crystals to gain basic mastery of the cultivation system! One needed to reach the peak of the Realm of Soul and a third-level Essence Soul to cultivate the Divine Power realm.
Rumble…
Meng Chuan viewed his body through his Essence Soul. With the aid of a mystic technique, he could enter the microscopic world. When one reached the Diamond realm, they would discover that their body was composed of countless tiny particles. These particles varied in size and color.
When one reached the Divine Power realm, they could observe what was inside the particles! Every particle was a world!
Particles were boundless and vast worlds!
In the middle of a particle space, there was an extremely tiny point. This point occupied about a trillionth of the entire particle space. Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul could only vaguely sense it. In the vast particle space around the point, countless dots of light orbited the tiny point.
As Meng Chuan observed this particle space, the particle space changed. He then began cultivating the particle space with the Divine Power realm formula.
The third level of the physical body cultivation system required one to cultivate these mysterious particle spaces. Terrifying amounts of energy was required to finish cultivating these countless particle spaces.
Chapter 218 - : Bai Nianyun’s Secret
The goal of cultivating the Divine Power realm was to imprint one’s Essence Soul on the particle space, the ‘tiny point,’ and the numerous ‘light dots’ that orbited the ‘tiny point.’ Once imprinted, the particle space would undergo a transformation.
According to the information he inherited, one’s Essence Soul couldn’t observe the particle space before reaching the Divine Power realm. The particle space was like a desert that naturally grew.
Just observing the particle space caused it to change. After imprinting one’s Essence Soul on the particle space, the particle space would undergo a qualitative change. From then on, his control over his body would reach an unimaginable level. After all, even his Essence Soul had been imprinted on the ‘tiny point,’ the ‘light dots,’ and the particle space. Thus, his control over his body would naturally far exceed the past.
This process was named “Unification of the Spirit and Body.” After the countless particle spaces had been cultivated to perfection, one would gain divine powers!
Phew. Meng Chuan opened his eyes. He had used up all the Quintessential Essence he recovered with Scarlet Blood Divine Pills. He couldn’t continue cultivating with an empty dantian.
I’ve been cultivating my particle spaces for more than half a year. My body is transforming every day. Meng Chuan could feel his physical strength increasing. Originally, his physical strength was on par with his Great Solar Quintessential Essence, but his physical strength became superior to his Great Solar Quintessential Essence as he kept cultivating the particle spaces…
According to the manual, once he mastered the Divine Power realm, his physical strength would be slightly inferior to a Marquis Godfiend’s Quintessential Essence. His strength would be comparable to a fourth Firmament demon monarch’s physical strength!
However, a Divine Power realm expert would still be slightly inferior to Marquis Godfiends because they didn’t have a Darkstar domain. Without a Darkstar domain, they were much weaker than Marquis Godfiends. Therefore, the manual referred to Divine Power realm experts as half-step Marquis Godfiends.
If he reached the Undying realm, he could suppress Marquis Godfiends completely.
I’ll probably be able to master the Divine Power realm in two months. I wonder what divine powers I’ll gain. Meng Chuan looked forward to it.
…
In terms of prosperity, the Black Sand Dynasty was in no way inferior to the Great Zhou Dynasty. In terms of dealing with demons, Black Sand Dynasty was doing better than the Great Zhou Dynasty because they had King White Treasure!
Black Sand Dynasty, Tang State Capital.
“Miss.” A gray-robed elder respectfully placed a scroll on the table in front of a cyan-robed woman.
The cyan-robed woman nodded slightly. “You can leave now.”
“There’s information from the Great Zhou,” reminded the gray-robed elder softly before retreating.
The cyan-robed woman’s eyes lit up as she immediately flipped through the dossier. An intelligence report laid in the middle of the thick dossier. The cyan-robed woman read it. “Last year’s 13th September, Liu Qiyue gave birth to a son and daughter. Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue’s current residence is unknown. They should be located in the Great Zhou Dynasty’s southeastern regions.”
He has children? The cyan-robed woman’s hands trembled slightly as her eyes reddened. A joyful smile blossomed on her face. Chuan’er has children? A son and a daughter? I have grandchildren? What are their names? What do they look like? I-I have to find them… No, I don’t even know where they are.
For a moment, her heart was in a mess.
The cyan-robed woman took a deep breath. I have to bear with it. I’ve endured for so many years. I’ll bear with it a little longer. Once I’m exposed, I’ll be in big trouble. In the intelligence report, she couldn’t find the location of Meng Chuan and his wife’s residence. If she had, she might’ve secretly visited her grandson and granddaughter.
Crackle… The intelligence report in the cyan-robed woman’s hand turned to dust.
“Miss, Marquis Martial Yang wishes to see you. He said that there’s something important.” The gray-robed elder’s voice sounded from outside.
“Something important?” The cyan-robed woman frowned slightly. “Let him in.” The cyan-robed woman continued reading the rest of the dossier.
Soon, an extraordinary man walked in. He smiled and said, “Sister Nianyun…”
“Oh?” The cyan-robed woman frowned. “Marquis Martial Yang, please watch your words.”
“Holy Maiden.” Marquis Martial Yang corrected himself with a smile. “We’ve known each other since we were young. There’s no need to be so polite.”
“Marquis Martial Yang, feel free to speak,” said the cyan-robed woman.
“I’ve just mastered one of the 36 secret arts of our Halberd Hall. I’m in a good mood, so I came to share my success with Sister Nianyun,” said Marquis Martial Yang with a smile. “Do you know which secret art I’ve mastered?”
The cyan-robed woman indifferently said, “I don’t wish to know. Marquis Martial Yang, you know Grand Yin Hall has its rules. You should leave quickly and not disturb my peace. Also… don’t call me Sister Nianyun.”
Marquis Martial Yang frowned but still smiled. “Alright, alright. I won’t disturb your cultivation any longer.”
With that said, Marquis Martial Yang left.
…
That night.
Marquis Martial Yang and a young man were drinking together.
“Brother Weiyan,” said Marquis Martial Yang. “Tell me. Your sister and I have known each other since we were young. Your sister was chosen to enter Grand Yin Holy Hall when she was young, and I was eventually able to enter Halberd Holy Hall. Your sister is one of five Holy Maidens of Grand Yin Holy Hall, but anyone with a bit of insight knows that although your sister is a Marquis Godfiend, she is still ranked low amongst the five Holy Maidens… There is only one person that can become Grand Yin Holy Hall Master. Your sister will eventually be married.
“According to the rules of our Black Sand Grotto-Heaven, the Holy Maidens of Grand Yin Holy Hall typically marry Halberd Holy Hall’s Godfiends. This is because our two cultivation systems complement each other, allowing our strength to improve greatly. Thus, isn’t it good for her to marry me in the future? I have never
slighted her, but she has never cared about me.” Marquis Martial Yang drank his wine in agony.
“Out of the five Holy Maidens of Grand Yin Holy Hall, you ended up eyeing my sister?” asked the young man beside him as he drank. “Marquis Martial Yang, take my advice as a friend—give her up!”
“Why should I give up?” Marquis Martial Yang was furious.
The two strongest Holy Maidens of Grand Yin Holy Hall were fighting for the position of hall master. They had no interest in romantic relationships. Two other Holy Maidens had already found partners. They would marry immediately once the Grand Yin Holy Hall Master was determined.
Only Bai Nianyun had no hope of becoming hall master, nor was she willing to delve into romantic relationships.
“When I saw your sister when I was young, I was certain that I would marry her.” Marquis Martial Yang gritted his teeth.
“Actually, my sister already has someone. You…” said the young man as he drank. The moment he spoke, his expression changed.
“She has someone?” Marquis Martial Yang stared at the young man.
The young man realized that he had slipped up. He immediately said with a smile, “Pretend you didn’t hear that.”
“What do you mean by that? I heard you.” Marquis Martial Yang glared. “What happened? Brother Weiyan, we’ve been friends for so many years. You have to tell me honestly. Don’t keep me in the dark.”
The young man hesitated.
“I’ll use the mystic technique of Halberd Holy Hall to refine an Earth-level divine armament for you. Didn’t you want a soft sword? I’ll help you forge it,” said Marquis Martial Yang. “That should be enough, right?”
“I’m telling you this because I don’t want you to continue wasting your time like this.” In a low voice, the young man said, “When my sister was young, she went down the mountain to gain experience. For some reason, she was blind enough to take fancy to a mortal. She had a child. After her training ended, she returned to Black Sand Grotto-Heaven. When she returned, Grand Yin Holy Hall’s elders realized that my sister was no longer a virgin at a glance. She had no right to inherit the position as hall master.”
