“We’ve been cultivating for so many years. You’ve also become a Regis Godfiend now,” said Meng Chuan with a sigh. “Among our batch’s many disciples, only the two of us have become Regis Godfiends.”
Yan Chitong nodded and smiled. “I’ve worked hard for many years. Now, I’ve finally become a Regis Godfiend. Senior Brother Meng, you’re much better than me.”
“It was all because of fortuitous encounters,” said Meng Chuan. “Back then, when we went to the World Gap and observed the forming world, I had an epiphany. Otherwise, my cultivation would have been much slower.”
“Didn’t I go as well? Why am I so much slower than you?” Yan Chitong poured himself another bowl of alcohol and shook his head. “It still depends on one’s perceptivity! So many Godfiends and demon monarchs have been to the World Gap, but who can compare to you, Senior Brother Meng? Speaking of which, Senior Brother Xue Feng went to the World Gap with us. Furthermore, he reached the Dharma Domain realm in the World Gap! If he were alive, his future would definitely be limitless.”
Meng Chuan sighed. “If he were alive, he would have a chance of becoming a Creation Supremacy after being nurtured by Black Sand Grotto-Heaven.”
In their generation, they were the three most talented people. However, Patriarch Yellow Oscillate had killed Xue Feng before his talent could bloom fully.
The two of them drank and ate, chatting casually.
Oh? Meng Chuan sensed something and turned to look at another building outside the window.
“To think that something that fouls the mood has happened.” Yan Chitong frowned. “I’ll throw them out.”
+ techniquears ago inferior
“There’s no hurry. This matter will be more exciting than you expected. If you were to take action, wouldn’t that spoil the fun?” said Meng Chuan as he watched what was happening outside. His current technique realm was much higher than it had been 22 years ago. His perception of karma was in no way inferior to Qin Wu and Li Guan. Although he had never deliberately studied it, he knew a little about the karma lineage.
“It’s more exciting than I imagine?” Yan Chitong looked at the other building outside the window in puzzlement. “I’ll spoil the fun? Whose fun?”
In another building.
The building was much more luxurious. A bearded man sat high up at the seat of honor. Behind him stood five guards, and guests sat on both sides of him.
“Come, Madame Xiao. Come sit with me. Drink with me.” The bearded man’s large fan-like hand grabbed a slim woman carrying a lute and pulled her into his embrace. The slim woman wore a veil and tried her best to stand up straight. “Lord Ge, I’m only a musician at Rainbow Cloud Restaurant. I don’t accompany guests.”
“I told you to drink with me. Be good and listen to me.” The bearded man forcefully pulled the woman into his embrace and removed her veil, revealing her face. She was pretty, and her eyes were very clear and alluring. The bearded man smiled at the woman and raised his cup. “Come.”
The slim woman couldn’t fend him off and could only take a sip. “Lord Ge, I really don’t know how to drink.”
“Very good. You take a sip while I’ll take a sip.” The bearded man finished the rest.
“Madame Xiao, Lord Ge has taken a fancy for you. You have to seize the opportunity,” said the customer beside her with a smile.
Inside the building, Lord Ge coaxed the slim woman to drink. The guests around him also curried favor. None of the other musicians at Rainbow Cloud Restaurant dared to stop him.
Not long after
“I-I…” Lord Ge—who reeked of alcohol, suddenly felt his body go weak. He instinctively felt that something was amiss. He released his Quintessential Essence—which surged in all directions.
The surrounding tables and objects were sent flying. The slim woman in Lord Ge’s arms was sent flying by the impact. Only after the commotion ended did the surrounding guards see a dagger stab into Lord Ge’s chest.
“Bitch.” Lord Ge’s eyes turned red as he immediately took out a pill and ate it.
“How dare you.” The five guards transformed into phantoms. In a single exchange, they heavily injured the slim woman-who had reached the Impervious realm-and immediately captured her alive. “Hahaha, Ge.” The thin woman’s eyes were filled with madness. “I’ve been hiding in the Rainbow Cloud Restaurant for half a year. I was waiting for you to take the bait! Don’t you feel very indignant to die in the hands of a trivial figure like me?”
“Die?” Lord Ge sat there panting. His hand reached for the dagger in his chest and pulled it out. The wound on his chest rapidly healed at a visible speed. He sneered at the thin woman. “You think you have what it takes?”
The thin woman looked at this scene in disbelief. A mortal could live even after having their heart pierced?
“So it was an assassination attempt. Furthermore, it was deliberately planned by this female musician,” said Yan Chitong as he watched the commotion. “No wonder Senior Brother told me not to do anything. However, from the looks of it, her assassination failed.”
“Senior Brother Meng?” Yan Chitong looked at Meng Chuan in puzzlement.
Meng Chuan watched from afar.
In his vision, Lord Ge’s powerful aura enveloped his surroundings. The aura emitted by the five guards behind him enveloped every inch of the building. Anyone who dared to harm Lord Ge would suffer a crazy counterattack! However, this woman had been close to him. She silently poisoned him and stabbed him ruthlessly. She knew she couldn’t escape the five guards’ counterattack, but she still decisively attacked.
That Lord Ge seems to be in control of the entire situation. He is very safe in the building, but the female assassin still delivered the fatal blow.
Over the years, I’ve cultivated the electromagnetic domain. I spent a lot of time and effort on the electromagnetic domain. However, the domain is ultimately formed by Force. Killing an enemy ultimately depends on a fatal blow. Meng Chuan was inspired. The lightning lineage’s profundities naturally fused in his mind as he began to deduce another cultivation direction.
Chapter 468 - Meng Family
Cultivation progress slowed down towards the end of each realm. Meng Tiange and Luo Tang had been stuck at the Grotto-Heaven realm’s late stage for hundreds of years. Qin Wu, Li Guan, and Bai Yaoyue had also cultivated for a long time, yet they were still stuck at the perfected Grotto-Heaven realm. It was very difficult for them to reach the Heaven Earth realm.
Although Meng Chuan had the best overall potential in the history of the human race, he encountered bottlenecks when it came to cultivating his Grotto-Heaven realm techniques. Although he went to the World Gap every year, Meng Chuan had only reached the Grotto Heaven realm’s late stage after 22 years. After breaking through, he met a conundrum.
What should be his next step? How was he to go from the Grotto-Heaven realm’s late stage to the perfected Grotto-Heaven realm?
What must I do with my Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique if I want to reach the perfected Grotto-Heaven realm? Meng Chuan pondered on his next steps. My Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique currently has the Nine Heavenly Forms of the Void’s essence as its core. It has also fused the Roving Dragon Form of Lightning, Yin-Yang Form of Lightning, and Lightning Domain Form’s essences. From the looks of it, I have placed too much importance on domains. After all, it’s a movement technique. It can also become a saber art. I should be more focused on cultivating the lethality of the technique.
The process of gradually fusing the 15 different aspects of lightning is how one cultivates the lightning lineage. I can try to fuse the Wave Splitting Forms of Lightning into the technique.
I’ve accumulated a lot of insight into the Wave Splitting Forms of Lightning’s essence. Furthermore, after I combine the Roving Dragon Form of Lightning with the Wave Splitting Forms of Lightning, my movement technique will be faster and more unpredictable. My saber technique will also be stronger. Meng Chuan began deducing the outcomes in his m
ind.
After attempting to combine all sorts of profundities, he felt that the Wave Splitting Forms of Lightning was very compatible with the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique.
An extremely bright spiritual glow appeared. Nine Heavenly Lightning Domain, Roving Dragon Wave Splitting, Yin-Yang Transformation.
It’s feasible. This direction is very suitable for me. Meng Chuan was delighted by his new ideas. I’ll enter seclusion after I return.
Only after snapping out of his daze did Meng Chuan notice Yan Chitong sitting by the table and drinking the Fire Fruit Wine happily. At the same time, he said, “Senior Brother, you suddenly fell into a daze, so I drank alone. By the way, I’m watching that musician assassin.”
“Just drink.” Meng Chuan smiled as he turned to look at the building outside the window.
He had just been inspired a moment ago. He now had an idea of how he should improve his Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique.
The general direction of cultivation was to pursue the purple lightning’s essence.
However, cultivation wasn’t that simple. For Meng Chuan, every step he took was a step forward. Compared to him, most experts ended up stuck at a particular stage of cultivation, unable to improve themselves any further. Lady Blackmoon, one of the demon Imperial Lords, was one such person. She had been stuck at the Heaven Earth realm’s middle stage for millennia. Every breakthrough attempt ended up in failure.
This time, I have a feeling that this direction is correct. Meng Chuan was delighted. This young lady inspired me. I’m somewhat fated with her.
“Junior Brother Yan, I’ll go take a look,” said Meng Chuan.
“Let’s go together. But this wine is mine.” Yan Chitong put away the gourd of wine and immediately followed Meng Chuan.
…
Inside the luxurious room.
“I’m asking you one last time, who instigated you,” said Lord Ge ferociously with a pale face.
The delicate-looking woman snorted coldly. “Humph.”
“Very good. Very soon, I’ll let you know how it feels to not die, even when you beg for death.” Lord Ge gritted his teeth and said, “Let’s go. Bring her back.” The delicate-looking woman’s lips began to turn white as she sneered. “Of course I know what Lord Ge is capable of. Therefore, I consumed poison the moment I attacked. If I couldn’t escape, I would’ve died quickly. I estimate that the poison will take effect in another 30 seconds.” “Poison?” Lord Ge was furious. “What a suicidal woman.”
“Young lady, you want to commit suicide just because of this?” A gentle voice sounded as two figures appeared in the room. They were Meng Chuan and Yan Chitong. With a wave of his hand, the delicate-looking woman-who was being escorted-suddenly appeared beside Meng Chuan.
Meng Chuan had been inspired by the female musician’s assassination attempted. He realized that a karma bond had formed between him and her.
According to Archean Mountain’s records, karma would become more and more important to cultivators as they became stronger. This was especially true for Tribulation Eminences. They were very concerned about karma. When Meng Chuan obtained the Essence Soul Star formula, he formed a karmic connection with Tribulation Eminence Fei Yu. In the future, when he became an Eighth Tribulation Eminence, he would have to resolve the karma. Of course, the Eighth Tribulation realm was extremely distant for Meng Chuan.
According to the books left behind by Ancestral Master Archean Eon, the explanation for karma was simple: Rather help others than owe anyone anything!
The more he owed, the greater his karma.
Being kind and helping many people led to good karma-a good thing. Rather help others than owe anyone anything. Meng Chuan clearly remembered this piece of advice that Ancestral Master Archean Eon had given to his juniors. Since he had a karmic connection with the girl, he naturally helped her to resolve it.
Oh? The delicate-looking woman looked at Meng Chuan and Yan Chitong dazedly. However, she realized that the poison in her body had disappeared quickly. Her body had recovered completely.
“Greetings, Godfiends.” Lord Ge immediately bowed. The five guards also bowed.
The guests and musicians beside them immediately bowed in fear.
“Young lady, tell me, why did you try to assassinate him?” asked Meng Chuan. He could tell at a glance that the woman was only 23 years old. It wasn’t wrong to address her as a young lady. The delicate woman’s eyes lit up as she looked at the two Godfiends in front of her. She immediately knelt on the ground.
“Just stand up and say it,” said Meng Chuan.
“This Ge Congbin secretly sent many subordinates into the mountains. They looked like a merchant caravan on the surface, but in reality, they went there to abduct people wantonly. Many villages in the mountains have been destroyed by them.” The delicate-looking woman gritted her teeth.
“You are framing me.” Lord Ge was extremely furious. He immediately shouted, “Lord Godfiends, don’t listen-“.
The delicate-looking woman’s eyes turned red as she continued speaking with tears streaming down her face. “Many men and elders were sent to the mines, never to be seen again. They will die in the mines. Many women and children were sold in batches like goods. Those that were disobedient were slaughtered like livestock.” The delicate-looking woman’s body trembled.
“Earth Net investigates the entire world. What did they do to escape Earth Net’s investigations?” asked Meng Chuan.
“Earth Net?” The delicate woman sneered and pointed angrily at Lord Ge. “He, Ge Congbin, is one of Warped Cloud City’s four Patrollers – South Patroller.”
“It’s all slander. This woman has a grudge against me,” said Lord Ge angrily.
Boom.
The door opened, and a figure walked into the room with an afterimage. It was a black-robed elder.
The black-robed elder looked at Lord Ge. “Brother Ge, what’s wrong?” “Brother Tian, this woman tried to assassinate me and accused me in front of those two Godfiends,” said Lord Ge immediately.
Only after Ge Congbin pointed out the two Godfiends did the black-robed elder turn his head and look at Meng Chuan and Yan Chitong. Yan Chitong had naturally changed his appearance to hide his identity, but Meng Chuan didn’t bother disguising himself. However, information regarding Regis Godfiends was secret. This black-robed elder was only an outer sect disciple of Archean Mountain, so he naturally couldn’t recognize Meng Chuan.
Although he couldn’t recognize them, he could sense how powerful these two Godfiends were. “I’m Warped Cloud City’s Earth Net Godfiend, Tian Qun.” The black-robed elder cupped his hands. “This woman tried to assassinate an Earth Net patroller. I need to bring her back to Earth Net headquarters.”
“Senior Godfiends, I have plenty of evidence,” said the slim woman. “There are at least nine deep burial pits in Fog Dragon Mountain. There are at least thousands of corpses buried there. They are the bodies of all the disobedient women and children. I can identify them! As for the people in the mines, as long as we interrogate them, we will know that they were originally commoners in the mountain villages.”
Lord Ge’s expression changed.
The black-robed elder angrily said, “How dare you slander our Earth Net’s South Patroller? Please don’t stop our Warped Cloud City’s Earth Net from handling this matter.”
“Lord Godfiends,” said Lord Ge with a fawning smile. “I’m a mortal. Although I have reached the Core Condensation realm, it’s rare for someone like me to take on the role of South Patroller. I only have this job because I have a group of good friends. They are all from Godfiend family clans. For example, the Wang family, the Lu family, and… the Meng family!”
The final words ‘Meng family’ was slowly said by Lord Ge.
The Meng family’s influence was gradually approaching that of the number one Godfiend family clan in the Great Zhou Dynasty. This was because Li Guan neared the end of his lifespan. He could only hold on for another few decades.
Once he died, according to Archean Mountain’s rules, the imperial family would be replaced.
Typically, the ascension of a new imperial family was based on credits.
As an expert equivalent to a Creation Supremacy, Meng Chuan had killed one million demon monarchs. He had even brought back the Eon Sea Sect’s treasure. Due to this, Meng Chuan had gained a lot of credits. The ancient Godfiend family clans secretly guessed that the Meng family would be the Great Zhou Dynasty’s next imperial family. This family already had three Regis Godfiends. The Meng family would clearly grow stronger as time passed. Soon, they would become the strongest Godfiend family clan in the world.
When the Meng family handled matters, everyone would give them face.
“The Meng family?” said Meng Chuan softly as he frowned.“That’s right, the Meng family,” said Lord Ge with a smile. “I believe no one dares to spout nonsense about the Meng family. I received the support of many good friends. Their recommendations and belief in my abilities led to me becoming an Earth Net Patroller.”
Meng Chuan’s expression turned ugly.
Seeing this, Lord Ge felt pressured by the mysterious Godfiend.
“A bunch of bastards!” Meng Chuan’s expression turned ugly. He extended his hand and grabbed Warped Cloud City Lord, who was dozens of kilometers away. Dozens of kilometers, Warped Cloud City Lord had been eating dinner when Meng Chuan suddenly dragged him away. In the blink of an eye, Warped Cloud City Lord found himself in a house. He held his chopsticks and looked around dazedly. From the scenery outside the window, he knew one thing. This is the Rainbow Cloud Restaurant. It’s more than 25 kilometers away from my residence! He couldn’t help but tremble. He had never heard of anyone capable of pulling someone from 25 kilometers away. “Tang Fengqi!” shouted a furious voice.
