Chapter 136: Down the Mountain (Final Chapter of Volume)

The tiny crystal contained a cultivation system completely different from the Quintessential Essence system.

For example, demons mainly focused on their bodies, their demonic powers being secondary. Human Godfiends’ bodies were secondary, while Quintessential Essence was their primary focus. However, the legacy obtained by Meng Chuan was purely for body cultivation.

This system was split into several levels. Foundation Establishment, Diamond, Divine Power, Undying, Blood Droplet, Sage Becoming, and Mythical.

The Foundation Establishment realm required a first-stage Essence Soul for successful cultivation. The Diamond realm required a second-level Essence Soul, and so on. The Mythical realm’s threshold was a seventh-stage Essence Soul.

Apart from having extremely high requirements on one’s Essence Soul, it also had very high requirements for Essence souls and external objects. Therefore, this system’s cultivation difficulty was even greater than that of the Body-tempering Godfiend system.

However, this system was very powerful. A Foundation Establishment expert had strength equivalent to an Indestructible Godfiend. A Diamond Expert held strength equal to a Great Solar Godfiend. Divine Power experts were as strong as half-step Marquis Godfiends. The human’s Quintessential Essence system had a huge jump in strength from the Great Solar realm to the Darkstar realm. However, in this body cultivation system, every advancement in strength wasn’t tremendous.

Undying experts were equivalent to Marquis Godfiends. With just their physical body, an Undying expert could match a Marquis Godfiend in strength. Their bodies could match many divine armaments. Even if one suffered from severed limbs or if his head was riddled by 18 holes, one could recover in the blink of an eye. In terms of vitality, this cultivation system was much better than the human’s Quintessential Essence system.

In the Blood Droplet realm, the vitality of one’s body was even more exaggerated. Even if one’s body was obliterated, one drop of blood would lead to resurrection. With their body alone, one could match a Regis Godfiend.

A Sage Becoming expert was equivalent to a Creation Supremacy.

The body of a Mythical expert was indestructible! They had long lifespans! Their Essence Souls might dissipate after 10,000 years, but their bodies remained eternal and indestructible.

However, this cultivation system required a rare treasure—Cosmos Crystals. One had to rely on them to reach the Foundation Establishment realm! One could use Cosmos Crystals to cultivate faster. Without it, one’s cultivation speed would be much slower.

As for stepping from the Blood Droplet realm to the Sage Becoming realm, one needed 1.5 kilograms of Cosmos Crystals. Otherwise, there was no way to breakthrough.

To reach the Mythical realm, one needed 50 kilograms of Cosmos Crystals.

The tiny crystal in Meng Chuan’s body was a Cosmo Crystal. Although it was smaller than dust particles, it was extremely heavy. At this size, it was 50 grams.

…

Meng Chuan said respectfully, “Master, Aunt-Master, the opportunity I obtained is another cultivation system that focuses on the body. The highest realm is the Mythical realm.”

“Oh.” Supremacy Qin Wu and Supremacy Luotang frowned slightly. They naturally knew what it was.

This opportunity wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t that good either.

“In our world, you can reach the Blood Droplet realm at most,” said Qin Wu. “That’s because our world only has a few Cosmo Crystals—which are used for legacies. There aren’t any 1.5-kilogram Cosmos Crystals.”

“I understand,” said Meng Chuan respectfully.

“This legacy will greatly increase your chances of survival on the battlefield. Your strength will also increase. I guess it’s not considered bad.” Qin Wu nodded slightly. “Alright, you may return. Remember not to say anything about Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven.”

“Yes, I will take my leave.” Meng Chuan immediately left.

Supremacy Qin Wu and Supremacy Luotang frowned slightly.

“I was hoping he would obtain some other opportunity.” Supremacy Luotang shook her head gently. “This cultivation system is limited when it comes to raising Meng Chuan’s strength. At least, it will give him some life-preservation methods.”

“This physical body system allows one to maintain their peak lifeforce,” said Qin Wu with a smile. “Others have to make breakthroughs while they are still young. When they grow old, the aging of their Godfiend bodies will drastically reduce their chances of breaking through. However, if Meng Chuan cultivates this system, his lifeforce will remain at its peak. In the future, when he becomes a Regis Godfiend, he still has a chance of reaching the Creation realm even when he’s close to the end of his 500-year lifespan. As for others, their chances of breaking through drop once they are over 150 years old. There is almost zero chance once they are over 300 years old. If he can maintain peak lifeforce when he’s 500 years old, a lot will be brought to the table.”

“That’s true.” Supremacy Luotang nodded before her phantom dissipated.

Supremacy Qin Wu also watched the lightning bolt heading straight for Bright Scenic Peak from afar. Although he claimed there were plenty of benefits, he wasn’t too satisfied with the outcome. After all, the physical body system was limited to the Regis Godfiend level in the human world.

…

Meng Chuan was very satisfied with this opportunity.

Firstly, he already had a second-stage Essence Soul. With his Greater Mastery of Saber Soul, it wouldn’t take him long to reach the Diamond realm. By then, his physical strength would be no less than his Great Solar Quintessential Essence. The combination of the two would elevate his strength on the battlefield greatly. Furthermore, his life-preservation means would be much stronger.

His body would be enough to match all his peers. Even demon bodies were incomparable.

Secondly, although the Blood Droplet realm was the furthest one could cultivate in the human world, it was still comparable to the Incessant realm. That was impressive. Just by relying on one’s body to fight against a Regis Godfiend, meant that this body could be considered the best in the world. With a body comparable to divine armaments, he could resurrect from a single drop of blood, even if his body was obliterated. Meng Chuan had never heard of human Godfiends being capable of doing such a thing.

He was very satisfied with this opportunity. However, he didn’t know that the opportunities in Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven were all extraordinary. His opportunity peaked at the Blood Droplet realm, so it could only be considered an average opportunity.

Swoosh.

Meng Chuan landed in his cave abode’s yard.

“Qiyue,” shouted Meng Chuan.

“That fast?” Liu Qiyue walked out of the cave abode smiling, and said, “It hasn’t even been two hours. I’ll heat up the dishes for you. Master took you away before we could even finish dinner.”

Meng Chuan entered the hall in a good mood.

Liu Qiyue had excellent control over fire. She placed the cutlery in front of Meng Chuan and heated up the dishes.

“Why did Master look for you?” Liu Qiyue asked curiously.

Meng Chuan sat down and ate. “Master saw that a mystic technique was rather suitable for me, so he imparted it to me. My perception is quite high, so I acquired it in less than two hours.”

He had no other choice but to lie. His master forbade him from revealing any information on Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven. He could only lie about what had happened.

If news of Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven being opened for Meng Chuan was spread, he would become a thorn in the demons’ side. After all, Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven was rarely opened. Even Xue Feng, Xiao Yunyue, and so on, weren’t qualified to enter Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven despite it being wartime.

From this, one could imagine how monstrously talented they had to be for Archean Mountain to open Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven for them.

“He actually imparted a mystic technique secretly. It looks like he thinks highly of you.” Liu Qiyue was happy.

“It’s only a life-preservation mystic technique. I happen to meet the requirements for cultivation.” Meng Chuan didn’t say much. He was afraid the more he spoke, the likelier his lies would be found out.

…

Days passed.

Archean Mountain carefully studied the overall situation and even contacted several medium-sized city passes. It was troublesome to contact them from long distances. Finally, on 6th November, Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue obtained their deployment details.

“North River Pass?” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue sat in the pavilion, drinking warm tea as they read the dossier sent by Archean Mountain.

“North River Pass is 6500 kilometers from Eastcalm Prefecture. It’s really far,” Liu Qiyue whispered. “I thought we would be sent somewhere as close to our hometown as possible.”

Meng Chuan looked at the dossier and said, “There are quite a few mid-sized city passes that are in grim states. We are two of the strongest Great Solar Godfiends. With two peak Great Solar Godfiends, a reasonable allocation can increase the strength of several city passes. The two of us requested to be deployed to the same city pass, and that involves resource reallocation. It’s naturally not easy to deploy us.”

“I know. I was just saying that in passing,” said Liu Qiyue. “According to the dossier, North River Pass is quite a bitter cold land.”

“It doesn’t matter where we are when killing demon monarchs.” Meng Chuan looked at the dossier’s introduction. He gained a general understanding of North River Pass.

…

15th November. Early morning at Blood Red Cliff.

Five Godfiends—including Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue—were leaving the mountain today. In fact, roughly twenty disciples left the mountain every year. Most people tried their best to set off together!

“Senior Brother Meng, Senior Sister Liu.” Yan Chitong still looked like a teenager. He was extremely excited and envious. “Your clothes are really beautiful. Unfortunately, I have to clear the Nine Mystical Caves test before I can choose robes and divine armaments.”

Meng Chuan was dressed in the dark cyan robe; his outer robe fluttered in the wind. He wore combat boots; Demon Slayer was by his waist. Liu Qiyue was in a cyan-red robe; her clothes were brighter and even more dazzling. She carried a bow and a quiver on her back. The two stood together with their Great Solar Godfiend auras emanating; many were envious when they saw them.

“Be careful after you leave the mountain. The battlefield is different from here,” Yan Jin advised.

“We can contact each other through letters,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. Other than Qiyue, Yan Jin was his best friend on the mountain.

“The Mountain Lord is here.”

The Godfiend disciples fell silent.

Archean Mountain Lord and Elder Yi walked over with a smile. The former laughed loudly and said, “Alright, it’s time for the five of you to take a picture.”

“Yes.” The five disciples who were leaving took their places. This picture would forever be stored on Archean Mountain. If they died in the future, the juniors would see these images.

The five disciples stood in what they felt would be the best pose.

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue couldn’t help but look at each other; their smiles radiant.

“Alright, the mark has been recorded.” Archean Mountain Lord nodded. Like usual, the Memento Wall recorded the pictures of disciples who were leaving the mountain.

This batch of leaving disciples was somewhat special. Two of them were peerless geniuses—Liu Qiyue, who had a Phoenix Divine Body, and Meng Chuan. Archean Mountain had even opened Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven for Meng Chuan. He was the most highly-valued disciple in the past 100 years. Of course, only the two Supremacies and Meng Chuan knew that.

“The five of you should head down the mountain and meet up with Marquis Southcloud quickly. Marquis Southcloud will be the one sending you to the city passes,” instructed Archean Mountain Lord.

“Yes.” The five disciples acknowledged the order and left the mountain immediately.

Archean Mountain Lord swept his gaze across the other Godfiend disciples and shouted, “The other disciples, hurry to Grotto-Heaven Pavilion. The Supremacy’s lecture will soon begin.”

“Yes.” The disciples left obediently and rushed to Grotto-Heaven Pavilion.

Yan Jin stayed on Blood Red cliff, watching Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue depart before turning to leave.

…

At the foot of Archean Mountain range, Marquis Southcloud and the giant fiery-red bird were already there. The bird’s back was loaded with luggage. Archean Mountain had delivered the five disciples’ luggage ahead of time.

“Uncle-Master,” Meng Chuan, Liu Qiyue, and company greeted respectfully.

Marquis Southcloud smiled and nodded. “When I learned that Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue were leaving the mountain, I specially requested to be the escort.”

“Thank you, Uncle-Master,” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue said gratefully.

According to Archean Mountain’s rules, disciples that weren’t Marquis Godfiends were considered of the same generation. Marquis Godfiends and above were of higher status. Unless there was a direct master-disciple relationship, Marquis Godfiends would address the Mountain Lord and Supremacy as senior brother.

“Come on up.” Marquis Southcloud sat on the bird’s back. The five of them went up and held their luggage.

“Let’s go.” Marquis Southcloud gently patted the fiery bird.

Swoosh.

The giant fiery red bird immediately soared into the sky. Meng Chuan watched themselves flying away from Archean Mountain. Soon, they were above the clouds as they flew north towards North River Pass.
