“Xue Ting, you are aware of your punishment.” Li Guan looked at him. “Do you have any objections?”
“It’s my wish to hunt down the demons. I’m naturally willing.” King Calm Sea revealed a rare smile. “If I die during the life modification process, I have no complaints.”
Meng Chuan watched from the side.
“Before that, I want to write a letter.” King Calm Sea looked at Meng Chuan. “I hope King Eastcalm can pass it to Yan Jin.”
“If there’s nothing wrong with the letter, I can pass it to him for you,” said Meng Chuan.
If King Calm Sea had any tricks up his sleeves to deal with Yan Jin, he wouldn’t help him pass the letter to his son.
“It’s a very simple letter.” King Calm Sea smiled and looked around. “Do you have a brush and paper?”.
Meng Chuan waved his hand and prepared a table, brush, and paper. As someone who often painted, he naturally had these things on him.
omeon
King Calm Sea placed the paper on the table and began writing carefully.
“I’ll be fighting in the World Gap. If you want to meet me, get the right to enter the World Gap first.” King Calm Sea finished writing the sentences before handing the letter to Meng Chuan. He smiled and said, “He will definitely seek me in the future. I might as well tell him in advance.”
“Even ordinary Regis Godfiends are currently forbidden from entering the World Gap,” said Qin Wu with a frown.
“Very good.” King Calm Sea smiled. “If he wants to see me, he has to become stronger.”
Meng Chuan frowned. “Is that how you should treat your son?” “I have my ways of educating my children,” said King Calm Sea with a smile. “Even if you don’t give him this letter, he will still crazily seek me out in the future.”
Meng Chuan said indifferently, “I’ll give it to him at the appropriate time.” Meng Chuan also understood Yan Jin’s obsession.
“It’s up to you.” King Calm Sea looked at Meng Chuan carefully. “I’ve been cultivating for over 100 years, but I haven’t been able to see any hope of victory. I felt like I was blindly searching in the darkness. However, I never expected that you, Meng Chuan, to change the war’s trajectory single-handedly. You have truly allowed me to see the light.
“I’m very happy to see Meng Chuan appear. I always believed that I couldn’t pin my hopes on others; that I could only trust myself.” King Calm Sea looked at Meng Chuan. “From the looks of it, I can trust others.”
Following that, King Calm Sea swore an oath and underwent life modification.
Humph.
King Calm Sea sat cross-legged in a huge pool. His body gradually turned transparent as endless frost gathered in his body. He couldn’t help but grunt softly. Clearly, he was in immense pain.
Meng Chuan and company watched from the side.
I once saw two scenes in the Spacetime Floating Ice. As Meng Chuan thought about it, the scene of his white-haired self holding Demon Slayer and angrily roaring at King Calm Sea-who laughed maniacally-appeared in his mind.
In that scene, I was stronger than I was now. King Calm Sea was also stronger. In that scene, he had already become a Creation Supremacy. Now, regardless of whether the life modification process succeeds or fails, he can no longer become a Creation Supremacy. That scene will never come to fruition.
The Spacetime Floating Ice only revealed the possibilities of the various timelines.
If King Calm Sea had continued cultivating the meditation technique, he mightn’t have been exposed so early. He could’ve become a Creation Supremacy before his misdeeds were discovered.
Since spacetime can be changed, I wonder if I will still have white hair in the future? Meng Chuan pondered.
Chapter 439 - Eight Years
In the pool, King Calm Sea-who was sitting cross-legged-became increasingly transparent. Endless frost energy gathered within him. King Calm Sea’s expression was warped; his eyes were filled with madness.
Li Guan, Qin Wu, Luo Tang, and Meng Chuan watched nervously. “The first day of the life modification process is the most dangerous. On the first day, his life essence will be completely transformed. The remaining two days are for him to give birth to an ice lifeform,” said Li Guan nervously. “As long as he survives the first day, it will be considered a success.”
“Although King Calm Sea has lost his way, his willpower is extremely astonishing,” said Luo Tang. “He should be able to survive.”
The life modification process was extremely painful.
Even one’s Essence Soul would completely melt into the ice body. If King Calm Sea’s consciousness collapsed during this process, he would die completely.
Time slowly passed.
Meng Chuan and company waited by the side for a full day. They still hoped for another combat force to appear in the human world.
Finally, the terrifying frost energies in the pool completely fused with King Calm Sea’s body. A huge ice block appeared, and a human figure could be vaguely seen sitting cross-legged inside. The look in the human figure’s eyes gradually calmed down.
“He survived. Next, he’ll give birth to an ice body.” Li Guan heaved a sigh of relief.
“Xue Ting can live for a few more centuries. I hope he can redeem himself in the World Gap in the future,” said Qin Wu. Qin Wu was somewhat angry and disappointed about this disciple of his.
“Everyone, I don’t think it’s appropriate to announce Xue Ting’s matter to the public.” Li Guan looked at the three people around him.
Luo Tang nodded and said, “I also agree about not announcing it. This matter has terrible implications if word gets out. However, Xue Ting is about to head to the World Gap. Should the few Regis Godfiends in the World Gap be informed?”
“In the future, they might have to cooperate with King Calm Sea. It’s best to inform them. It’s fine if King True Martial, Dao Protector, and the others know,” said Li Guan.
“They should be informed,” said Qin Wu.
“I’ll tell them,” said Meng Chuan.
Li Guan nodded slightly before looking at the pool and saying, “He still needs two more days before the life modification process is completed. Let’s leave first. The guardian is guarding this place. There’s no need to worry about anything.” Soon, Meng Chuan and company left and returned to their residences to cultivate.
Two days later.
Li Guan, Qin Wu, Luo Tang, and Meng Chuan arrived again. They watched as the huge ice block in the pool began to melt.
Whoosh.
The ice around King Calm Sea’s body completely melted as he absorbed it into his body.
At that moment, King Calm Sea’s body seemed to have been carved into a dark-cyan ice sculpture. He stood up and closed his eyes as he assessed the completely different power in his body. Finally, he slowly opened his eyes, filled with excitement.
He now had overwhelming power!
“Thank you, Supremacies. Thank you, Master. Thank you, King Eastcalm.” King Calm Sea walked out of the pool and bowed. “You gave me a chance to continue slaying demons.”
“Humph.” Qin Wu grunted angrily. “If it weren’t for the war, you would have long been executed. Redeem yourself well in the future.”
“Yes,” replied King Calm Sea obediently without feeling vexed.
“I can sense that my body’s strength and speed far exceeds the past,” said King Calm Sea. “Supremacies, Master, please give me some pointers. How can I unleash the full strength of this body?”
“There are pros and cons to a modified lifeform. Although you can’t reach the Creation realm, you have an ice body,” said Li Guan. “You don’t have an Essence Soul, but that makes you invulnerable to any Essence Soul mystic technique. Essence Soul mystic techniques are completely useless against you.”
Meng Chuan listened from the side. He knew a lot of secrets, so he also understood that there were many strange lifeforms in the outer realm.
Some lifeforms were completely unaf
raid of Essence Soul mystic techniques. Some strange, special lifeforms were completely different. They were most afraid of Essence Soul mystic techniques, but any world-annihilative attacks would completely fail to work on them.
Everything had its vanquisher. To be invincible, one had to cultivate to an unimaginable realm. For example, a Sixth Tribulation Eminence or a Seventh Tribulation Eminence could be described as being capable of easily killing countless strange lifeforms.
“Although your ice body is powerful and can be restored after suffering some damage, you will die once it’s shattered,” said Li Guan. “Don’t rely on your powerful body to resist an enemy’s attacks. As for how you should fight? There are only two things an ice lifeform is good at. First, their bodies have relatively high strength and speed. Secondly, they’re good at using the power of ice. You can slowly figure it out when you reach the World Gap.”
“Yes.” King Calm Sea’s eyes were filled with excitement. He could sense his body’s complete transformation.
The Origins Treasure-Scarlet Cloud Heavenand other items were taken back by Archean Mountain, but some of them were returned to King Calm Sea. After all, he needed to patrol the World Gap for 300 years.
That day, Meng Chuan brought King Calm Sea to the World Gap.
“I’ll be fighting here for the next three centuries.” King Calm Sea landed on the World Gap’s ground as his battle intent surged. Endless frost energy was released, causing the surroundings to freeze.
King Calm Sea instantly brandished his sword and slashed at his palm. The palm-formed from the dark-cyan ice—was extremely hard. The terrifying strike only produced a white mark, but the frost energy quickly gathered and healed the wound.
King Calm Sea’s attacks have greatly increased in strength and speed. Previously, he only had the strength of an ordinary Creation realm expert. He now has the strength of a top Creation realm expert, yet his strike only caused a crack to appear on his palm. An ice lifeform’s body is indeed powerful.
King Calm Sea’s ice body was both his greatest advantage, and his only fatal weakness.
“Very good.” King Calm Sea felt the might of the strike and looked at his palm. He was even more satisfied with his new body.
He colluded with the demons because he wanted to learn powerful formulas to increase his strength. After undergoing the life modification process, his strength had increased, making him more confident in killing the demons. “I’m to patrol and fight in the World Gap for 300 years. During this period, I’m not allowed to return to the human world.” King Calm Sea looked at Meng Chuan beside him. “It’s a punishment for others, but it’s a reward for me.”
“Then enjoy it.” Meng Chuan brought King Calm Sea to meet King True Martial and company.
King Calm Sea looked forward to slaying demons. Meng Chuan, King True Martial, and company were also prepared to deal with demons. However, no fifth Firmament demon monarchs entered the World Gap.
In the blink of an eye, eight years had passed since Meng Chuan and company began their mission in the World Gap. Apart from killing some fifth Firmament demon monarchs on the first day, the rest of the days were very peaceful. They spent almost all their time cultivating. Huh? Meng Chuan took out his token and looked around. King True Martial, Peng Mu, Yun Jianhai, and King Calm Sea were all immersed in their cultivation.Whoosh.
He summoned Dao Protector Wang Shan from his Grotto-Heaven treasure.
“Senior Brother Wang,” said Meng Chuan. “Archean Mountain has summoned me. I’ll head back first.”
“Oh?” The Dao Protector was astonished. He looked around and smiled. “It looks like you were the only one summoned. Go. If King True Martial asks, I’ll tell them.”
Meng Chuan nodded and silently returned to the human world without disturbing his companions.
After tearing through the world membrane, Meng Chuan returned to Archean Mountain. Only an illusory Qin Wu was waiting at the top of the nameless mountain.
“Master, why did you suddenly summon me? Is there something important?” asked Meng Chuan.
Qin Wu smiled and said, “Your son, Meng An, has broken through to the Darkstar realm, becoming a Marquis Godfiend.”
Chapter 440 - Father and Son Fight
“An’er broke through?” Meng Chuan was overjoyed.
When his son was 13, he came to Archean Mountain to cultivate. Over the years, Meng Chuan had fought waves of demons. Although things had settled down after he dealt with the one million demon monarchs, he had been inside the World Gap most of the time. He hadn’t met his son much.
His son was 32 years old this year.
“He became a Marquis Godfiend at the age of 32,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. “He’s much stronger and talented than me.”
“You are different from him. You left the mountain early to fight demons. Furthermore, you only obtained the special body cultivation system when you were about to leave the mountain,” said Qin Wu with a smile. “Your son obtained a series of opportunities left behind by Ancestral Master Archean Eon. His opportunities are 1,000 times better than yours.”
Meng Chuan smiled.
The more outstanding his son was, the happier he was. Which father didn’t hope for the best for his child?
“In the past eight years, other than King Calm Sea’s matter, the world has been peaceful,” said the illusory Qin Wu. “Therefore, the pressure on the various cities has been greatly reduced. After Meng An became a Marquis Godfiend, we also summoned your wife, Liu Qiyue, to Archean Mountain. Your family can have a reunion.”
“Alright, thank you, Master.” Meng Chuan also missed his wife and children.
“What are you thanking me for? You are the one who has been giving your all,” said Qin Wu with a sigh.
Meng Chuan sighed and said, “Our generation of Godfiends can at least see the turning point in the war. In the past 800 years, more than 100,000 Godfiends have died in battle. Even Regis Godfiends that had entered deep slumbers had to awaken to continue fighting. Many generations of Godfiends fought the demons for their entire lives, but they failed to see any hope. Compared to them, we are considered very blessed.”
Qin Wu nodded slightly and smiled. “Go on. Your wife and family are at Bright Scenic Peak.”
“Alright.” Meng Chuan nodded and left in a flash.
Bright Scenic Peak.
Meng Chuan headed to his and Liu Qiyue’s original cave abode from when they were still cultivating on the mountain. Now, their children lived here.
Whoosh.
From high in the sky, Meng Chuan saw Liu Qiyue, Meng An, and Meng You sitting in the cave abode’s courtyard. They were drinking tea, chatting, and eating snacks. Liu Qiyue looked up when she sensed something. She couldn’t help but reveal a look of delight when she saw Meng Chuan flying over. Liu Qiyue stood up. “Ah Chuan.” Meng Chuan landed.
Meng An and Meng You also stood up and looked at Meng Chuan excitedly. “Dad.” “Ah Chuan, you’re back too.” Liu Qiyue walked over and said happily, “I thought you wouldn’t be free to return.” “The World Gap is still rather peaceful. The demons haven’t waged war against us Regis Godfiends. Over there, we mainly cultivate and pick up treasures,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. At the same time, he looked at his children. His son, Meng An, had a sharp aurawhich was much stronger than before. As for his daughter, Meng You, she was more reserved and carefree. She was stuck in the Great Solar realm.
“Not bad, both of you,” praised Meng Chuan in satisfaction.
“Dad, don’t praise me. Meng An is much better than me,” said Meng You with a smile.
Meng An humbly said, “I only happened to be lucky.”
“Hahaha, An’er, have you thought of your Marquis title?” Meng Chuan smiled as he sat down. His daughter, Meng You, immediately poured a cup of tea for her father. Meng Chuan smiled at his daughter.
“I’ve already told Archean Mountain that I’ll be named Marquis Feather Dragon,” said Meng An.
“Marquis Feath
er Dragon?” Meng Chuan was surprised. “Why this name?”
Meng An hesitated for a moment before shaking his head gently. “I just want this
title.”
Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue exchanged looks.
The couple believed that their son had some secrets. However, their son had already become a marquis Godfiend when he was only 32 years old. As his parents, they didn’t have to care too much about his matters.
The family of four drank tea and ate snacks as they chatted. “In the past eight years, the world has become much more peaceful. Many mortals in the wilderness have migrated to places outside the cities and live nearby,” said Liu Qiyue. “Therefore, many gathering grounds have appeared around each city. Without demons threatening the human world, people’s lives are much better.”
Meng Chuan nodded slightly. “What I did was just a short-term solution. To obtain complete peace, we need to resolve the biggest threats.”
Threats such as the World Gap—which he was currently dealing with. After dealing with this threat, only the World Entrances would be left. World Entrances gradually expanded over time. In the future, the pressure on the humans would be greater as more large and super-large World Entrances appeared.
However, as long as a World Entrance that allowed passage to demon sages didn’t appear, humanity had the confidence of defending the world! By guarding the World Entrances, the human world would be able to maintain its current peace. When the two worlds began separating from each other, the pressure on them would constantly decrease. Nobody knew if a World Entrance that allowed passage to demon sages would appear in the future. It all depended on luck.
The demons were unwilling to leave anything to luck, which is why they didn’t spare any effort or expenses in regards to their preparations for the World Gap.
“Ah Chuan,” said Liu Qiyue with a smile, “An’er finds it difficult to find an opponent now. Demons? There are no demons to be seen in the world. Find a Regis Godfiend? The city that a Regis Godfiend guards is secret. Also, I can’t face him in close combat with my archery skills. I’m just not suitable for guiding him.”
