“Don’t worry. Archean Mountain has 53 Great Solar Godfiends that cultivate the Myriad Poisons Fiend Body. They are all on the mountain waiting for your poisonous bugs.” Li Guan smiled.
“There are only 53 out of 1,000 Great Solar Godfiends. If there are more, we can control more poisonous bugs,” said King Luyue wistfully.
Any disciple could attempt to cultivate the Poison Refinement lineage. Mirage Fiend Body, Myriad Poisons Fiend Body, Sanguine Divine Body… These three high-grade Godfiend bodies had no requirements. Disciples could attempt to cultivate them, but it was very difficult to master them.
As there were no requirements, they had plenty of cultivators. Transcendent-grade Godfiend body Godfiends were what they were lacking. There were only over 100 Great Solar Godfiends that cultivated one of the 12 transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies. However, there were over 1,000 Great Solar Godfiends that cultivated high-grade Godfiend bodies.
Archean Mountain.
“I’ve asked Gucheng. He said that the 8,000 poisonous bugs would be ready in two months,” said Li Guan.
“Black Sand Grotto-Heaven is adamant. They will only deliver us 3,000 iron stone beasts.” The illusory Luo Tang shook her head. “Furthermore, it will take at least half a year. They are also short of iron stone beasts. Halberd Hall is doing its best. Senior Brother, do we still need to continue the negotiations?”
Iron stone beasts were a special weapon refined by Black Sand Grotto-Heaven’s Halberd Hall. It wasn’t difficult to control an iron stone beast-which had the strength of a peak Great Solar Godfiend. However, one still needed an Essence Soul to control it! A first-level Essence Soul could only control ten. A second-level Essence Soul could only control 100. Third-level Essence Souls could control a lot more.
“Let’s leave it at that.” Li Guan said, “Although Black Sand Grotto-Heaven values Xue Feng, Xue Feng’s influence hasn’t reached tremendous proportions during the war. Their limit is probably 3,000 iron stone beasts.”
“He’s ultimately a Creation Supremacy sapling. I’m really unwilling to give him to Black Sand Grotto-Heaven.” Qin Wu shook his head and sighed.
“Now that we are working together to fend off the demons, there’s no need to be too calculative. Xue Feng’s growth will be much slower in Archean Mountain. When he goes to Black Sand Grotto-Heaven and obtains the core legacy of the Black Sand lineage, his future will be more promising. If he really becomes a Creation Supremacy in the future, he would be equivalent to an additional force to be reckoned with on our side,” said Li Guan. “By the way, with us telling Xue Feng to join another faction, does he have any new conditions?”
“Xue Feng told me long ago that he will leave it up to us,” said the illusory Qin Wu. “Apart from what he said earlier, he will head to Black Sand Grotto-Heaven after becoming a Regis Godfiend. He mentioned a new condition a few months ago.”
“What’s the condition?” inquired Li Guan.
“When Yan Jin leaves the mountain, arrange for him to guard the city with him as support,” said Qin Wu.
“The brothers haven’t seen each other for a long time. He probably wants a reunion,” said Luo Tang with a smile.
“It’s trivial.” Li Guan nodded as well. “Yan Jin has just broken through. He only has the strength of an ordinary Marquis Godfiend. He can only be responsible for support, no matter which city he is assigned to. Assign him to Xue Feng’s city.”
Boom!
In a desert, Meng Chuan exited from the ground and soared into the sky. The sun had already set, but he could still see a hue of red.
After an entire day of underground reconnaissance, Meng Chuan embarked on his return journey.
The situation is better than I expected. Meng Chuan flew at high altitudes and looked down at the ground. Although the demons have set a bounty and allowed the demon monarchs to hunt freely, the three sects have more than 10,000 Great Solar realm experts in total. They are scattered all over the world. Together with Earth Net’s spies everywhere, demon monarchs are discovered by Earth Net not long after they appear. The Godfiends will then be informed to hunt them down. However, this situation is maintained by many patrolling Godfiends. Meng Chuan had no choice. He was ultimately just a single person.
Swoosh.
He swooped down and silently returned to Jiang State Capital. Although Liu Yebai and Meng Dajiang lived in Meng Manor, Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue didn’t dare to show themselves to them. The identity of the guardian Godfiends had to be kept a secret.
“Ah Chuan, it’s a letter from Yan Jin.” Liu Qiyue sat by the dining table and handed the letter to her husband.
“Oh?” Meng Chuan opened the letter. “He consolidated his strength after becoming a Marquis Godfiend. He’s planning on leaving the mountain in the next few days?”
“We’re in desperate need of Marquis Godfiends now,” said Liu Qiyue wistfully. “With one more Marquis Godfiend, we can protect another area of a few dozen kilometers and save many people.” Meng Chuan nodded. “Yan Jin’s talent is actually quite high. After so many years, he has finally become a Marquis Godfiend.”“Back then, we fought alongside each other in Eastcalm City. Now that we’ve become Marquis Godfiends, we have to thank the heavens,” said Liu Qiyue with a smile.
“In the blink of an eye, over 30 years have passed.” Meng Chuan nodded.
“Marquis Clear Snow, we’ve arrived at Far Spring City.” The avian demon monarch led Yan Jin to his designated mission area. It escorted him the entire way to ensure that Yan Jin didn’t interact with others.
I need to guard a large city like Far Spring City? I wonder which other Godfiends are here. Yan Jin also knew that a newly-advanced Marquis Godfiend didn’t have the strength to protect a large city. He had only come here to provide support. Whoosh.
The avian demon monarch landed in a courtyard with Yan Jin. Two people were already waiting for Yan Jin in the courtyard.
“Junior Brother Yan,” said a handsome man with a fan. “You brothers are really fated.”
“Seventh Brother.” Xue Feng smiled at his younger brother.
After Yan Jin landed, he felt mixed emotions.
Chapter 336 - Myriad Sword Sect
Yan Jin had the urge to request the sect to change his deployment orders. Although his fifth brother, Xue Feng, had treated him the best, he really didn’t want to interact with the Xue Family. However, he knew that the Supremacies arranged how the Godfiends were stationed in the various cities. They only made such arrangements after contemplating and balancing various aspects. Redeploying a Godfiend would affect the entire system. Many Godfiends would then have to be redeployed around the Great Zhou Dynasty.
For example, when Liu Qiyue was deployed to Jiang State Capital, Marchioness Plum Snow had been given a new arrangement! When Wang Shan, a Dao Protector, had been redeployed, many other cities had received new guardian Godfiends.
Redeployment was very troublesome. Meng Chuan had only written a letter to the Supremacies after seeing his wife consume her lifespan every time she cast Phoenix’s Nirvana! The Supremacies made an exception for them because of Meng Chuan’s great contributions. Ordinary Marquis Godfiends were unable to make the Supremacies change their plans without a special reason.
“In the future, we will support each other,” said the fan-wielding man with a smile. “We will guard this city well.”
Yan Jin nodded. “Yes, Senior Brother Lu.”
“We’ve already prepared food,” said the fan-wielding man with a smile. “Let’s not delay any further. We’ll discuss how the three of us are going to work together and deal with demon monarch attacks as we eat.”
Yan Jin nodded.
Xue Feng looked at his younger brother. Marquis Clear Snow, thought Xue Feng. To take the title “Clear Snow,” do you really hate Father that much?
Yan Jin’s mother was a maidservant of King Calm Sea. Clear Snow was also the name she used when she was a maidservant. It wasn’t even her real name. A Marquis Godfiend using a maidservant�
��s name as a title?
The Godfiends needed to hide their identities, so usually, Yan Jin could only be with Xue Feng and Senior Brother Lu.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The Darkstar domain spread out.
Xue Feng and Yan Jin transformed into two sword beams as they fought. Although Yan Jin was a man of few words and didn’t pay much attention to Xue Feng, he was still willing to spar. He attacked his elder brother with his full strength. Clang! Clang!
Two swords were sent flying.
“Seventh Brother, you lost again,” said Xue Feng with a smile.
SW
Yan Jin silently picked up the two swords and left.
“Senior Brother Xue, aren’t you being too ruthless by sending his two swords flying? Aren’t you going to show him mercy at all?’ Senior Brother Lu walked over as he fanned himself.
W
Xue Feng shook his head. “You don’t know him. If I had shown him mercy, he probably wouldn’t even have bothered to fight me. He wants me to be ruthless! If I defeat him ruthlessly, he will end up never yielding despite the setbacks.”
“Oh?” Senior Brother Lu was shocked.
They sparred again and again. The days of guardian Godfiends were very lonely. Yan Jin mostly cultivated and sparred. However, Xue Feng thrashed him badly every time.
Time passed.
Yan Jin also understood that his elder brother had sparred with him to help him cultivate. Deep down, he was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Xue Feng had always treated him very well for many years. He knew that it was only because of the Xue family that he was unwilling to get too close to his fifth brother. However, he remembered this kinship deep down.
Oh, this is? When he returned to his room, Yan Jin saw a small black sword on the table. Yan Jin vaguely felt that the small sword was extraordinary. He held it in his hand in puzzlement and carefully inspected it.
Boom.
His consciousness was directly drawn in. A large number of sword arts surged into his mind. The mysterious legacy didn’t allow him to reject it and entered his Essence Soul.
Oh? It took him a long time to regain his senses. He threw the black sword on the table and looked at it in shock. Myriad Sword Sect? The core legacy of a large sect in history, the Myriad Sword Sect? Why would it appear on my desk? Yan Jin knew what he had just obtained. It was the legacy of a large sect that was famous for its sword arts in human history. The Myriad Sword Sect had once been extremely powerful. At its peak, it was much stronger than present-day Two World Island. Although it had long been destroyed, the core legacy of the Myriad Sword Sect was still a priceless treasure.
This legacy had been lost during the rise and fall of human factions. It had now appeared in Yan Jin’s room.
It’s impossible for it to appear out of thin air. That means someone placed it here. Yan Jin immediately thought of his brother. Fifth Brother? Yan Jin held the black sword and immediately went to Xue Feng’s residence.
Xue Feng was reading in the study.
“Did you leave this with me?” Yan Jin walked in and held the black sword.
“Yes.” Xue Feng held the scroll in his hand and nodded with a smile. “Haven’t you always wanted to defeat me? That black sword is the reason why I mastered the Fifteen Golden Wind Swords. Only by learning the core legacy can you defeat me.” Yan Jin looked at Xue Feng.
Dong. Yan Jin threw the black sword and turned to leave.
Xue Feng smiled as he watched his younger brother leave. He said with a smile, “If you want to thank me, kill more demon monarchs.”
Yan Jin didn’t say anything as he walked away.
This introvert. Xue Feng smiled as he picked up the black sword. Regardless, after receiving the legacy, you can’t forget it even if you want to. Now that Seventh Brother has also learned it, it’s time to hand over the Myriad Sword Sect’s legacy to the sect.
Xue Feng had kept the legacy after he learned it because he hoped that his seventh brother would also learn it one day. However, the requirement for accepting the legacy was very harsh-one needed to condense an Essence Soul to accept the legacy. That was why he had waited until today. As for his brothers and sisters, they were relatively inferior. Furthermore, only his second brother used a sword, but he didn’t have a chance of becoming a Marquis Godfiend. He was only an ordinary Great Solar Godfiend and was currently a Patroller Godfiend.
The core legacy of the Myriad Sword Sect? After receiving the news, Li Guan’s Essence Soul avatar rushed over personally. He was rather shocked when he held the small black sword. Archean Mountain had an unfathomable heritage. However, in terms of sword arts, their heritage was inferior to the black sword in his hand.
“Xue Feng, thank you.” Li Guan looked at Xue Feng. “Our sect even made you join another sect, but you still offered such a precious item to our Archean Mountain. Our Archean Mountain owes you a lot. If you have anything you want, feel free to tell us.”
“After I go to Black Sand Grotto-Heaven, I won’t be able to meet my family much,” said Xue Feng. “Please help my brothers and sisters, as well as my father. I don’t need anything else. Let them continue to be patrollers or city guardians. I just hope they won’t be sent to their deaths.”
Li Guan nodded. “They are all contributing to humanity. We will take good care of them anyway. Don’t you have any other requests?”
“No.” Xue Feng shook his head. As a single person, what benefits did he need? After he went to Black Sand Grotto-Heaven, he would have great opportunities. He would naturally rely on himself.
Li Guan looked at Xue Feng and really liked this junior. He sighed and said, “If it weren’t for this tumultuous period, I definitely wouldn’t have let you join them.”
“It’s all the same-slaying demon monarchs,” said Xue Feng.
In the blink of an eye, two years passed.
Meng Chuan had left the World Gap for more than three years. He spent every night cultivating his saber art. Even when extremely exhausted, he would cultivate his saber art for two hours in the morning after waking up. This allowed him to accumulate insights towards his saber art.
Swoosh.
In the sky above Jiang State Capital, a figure executed a movement technique, leaving behind traces of lightning. It was as though dragons and snakes constantly transformed as they played hide and seek amidst the fog.
The lightning bolt vanished. A figure appeared in midair; it was Meng Chuan. With the Darkstar domain enveloping him, no one could see Meng Chuan using his movement technique.
My Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique has already taken shape. I’m only one step away from the Dharma Domain realm.
Chapter 337 - King Calm Sea’s Reply
Ever since he returned from the World Gap, Meng Chuan had drawn upon the knowledge contained in many of the lightning lineage ultimate techniques in history. He had attempted to create two ultimate techniques —the Infinite Saber and the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique. The Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique was in its nascent form.
Of course, the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique could also be used as a saber art. After all, it used the World Roving Dragon Saber as its foundation. He successfully fused the Yin-Yang Form of Lightning’s essence into it and pushed his movement technique to brand new heights by building upon the foundation of his predecessors. However, this movement technique didn’t have any advantage in pure speed. Its speed was only comparable to the World Roving Dragon Saber.
Whoosh.
Under the night sky, Meng Chuan landed in the courtyard. With a flip of his hand, he held Demon Slayer and began to cultivate his other ultimate technique, Infinite Saber.
He unsheathed his saber and transformed into a bolt of lightning. Like lightning, he sliced through the void.
Fast!
If one were to say that the Heart Intent Saber emphasized the profundity of Yin-Yang Fusion, then the Infinite Saber focused on pure strength and speed! Demon Slayer forcefully sliced through the
void at speeds so fast that it left one alarmed.
The Infinite Saber is more important to me. I hope I can push it to the Dharma Domain realm first. Meng Chuan spent most of his time and energy cultivating the Infinite Saber, leaving the rest of his time for the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique. This was because Meng Chuan had figured out a flying technique-Lightning Escape Technique—when he was cultivating the Infinite Saber Art!
The Lightning Escape Technique originated from the Infinite Saber. When his body transformed into a saber beam, he tore through the air like lightning… He could travel 15 kilometers in a second. He was actually faster than when he executed the World Roving Dragon Saber Art.
I can kill even more demon monarchs during my underground reconnaissance. The faster I am, the greater the power of my Infinite Saber. Meng Chuan naturally placed greater importance on the Infinite Saber. In fact, there had been many experts in human history that had created ultimate techniques in line with the Flash Form of Lightning’s essence. They were famous for their speed, but they had only reached the Dharma Domain realm. None of them had reached the Grotto-Heaven realm.
After looking at the techniques created in the past—which are similar to the Flash Form of Lightning’s essence—I know that they all focus on increasing one’s speed. However, when one’s speed reaches a certain level, they will be suppressed by the world. Meng Chuan sheathed his saber and pondered.
People from the past believed that one has to break through the shackles of the world to reach the Grotto-Heaven realm. However, no one in history has managed to do so. Can one really deal so much damage to the world when their speed reaches a certain level, causing them to be suppressed by the world? Meng Chuan guessed.
