Chapter Eighty-One: The Shame of Humanity
"Tunis, you really can't even defeat a 9-star Dou Ling with one move, do you want us to help you?" Xiang Tian Hu and Zi Dian Mang said to Tunis, these two 6th-order magic beasts often bully Tunis when they have nothing better to do, but it's not real bullying, just playing around. Tunis has long been familiar with these two 6th-order magic beasts and has become friends with them, something he never dared to imagine before.
"You two don't need to help." Tonis became somewhat depressed, especially after being teased by Xī Tiān Hǔ and Zǐ Diàn Mǎng. A ball of white wind magic power began to tremble between his hands, and the wind magic elements in the surrounding space also couldn't help but vibrate slightly.
"Go die." The white light in Tonis' hand grew thicker and a huge white light ball struck the already injured Jiuxing Douling. A month ago, Tonis was only a 4th level magician, but his strength was quite good among the people in the deep sea. However, Tonis had a small heart, but this month, following two magical beasts and Yue Cheng to kill all kinds of 4th and 5th level magical beasts everywhere, Tonis' courage grew, and he also gained a killing aura on his body.
"With a loud crash, the Nine-Star Dou Ling was unable to withstand Tonis' attack and his body was directly blown away to the surface of the sea with a fart."
"You idiot, Tonis, you're a shame to humanity! That man had a storage bracelet on him, and now you've gone and gotten him killed at sea. How are we supposed to get it back?" Hoot Sky Tiger and Violet Electric Python began yelling at Tonis, "You stupid fool, hurry up and fish his corpse out of the water!"
"Oh" Tonis didn't refute the two demon beasts this time, and hurriedly used his wind magic to shake off the corpse of the Nine-Star Douling from the sea surface. After being soaked in seawater, the corpse of the Nine-Star Douling quickly became somewhat swollen.
The three people who were killed had storage wristbands on their hands, which were naturally taken off by the two beasts without any courtesy.
"What's wrong, aren't you going to kill me? Why are you running?" Yue Cheng said faintly to Liang Yu.
Liang Yu saw the strength displayed by Tonis and Xiao Tianhu's Purple Thunder Snake, and he actually started to secretly retreat backwards, intending to escape but was blocked by Yue Cheng in front of him.
He's not afraid of thieves coming to steal, but he's afraid of thieves remembering. This sentence is also understood by Yue Cheng, who always seems to be looking for his own trouble, and this time he even wants to kill himself. Although Yue Cheng is not afraid of Liang Yu, being remembered by someone like that is not a good thing, so Yue Cheng has murderous intentions this time.
"General Yue, my young master was just joking with you, we didn't mean anything else." Seeing the murderous intent in Yue Cheng's eyes, that Liang Wang hastily said to Yue Cheng, but in his heart he cursed his own family's young master dozens of times, and even cursed the ancestors of the Liang family for eighteen generations. From now on, he was truly going to be killed by this unlucky young master, and maybe he would also have to sacrifice his own life.
"Yue Cheng, what do you want? I'm the young master of the Liang family." Liang Yu looked at Yue Cheng with some fear, he already regretted finding trouble with Yue Cheng. He couldn't have imagined that the people around Yue Cheng would be one more formidable than the other, this was too strange.
"What is the Liang family anyway." Yue Cheng said coldly, the Liang family's influence on Zuoxing Island was not weak, but now that he had Xiao Tianhu and Zi Dianmang, even if the entire Liang family were to confront him head-on, Yue Cheng would not be afraid.
"You shouldn't always come looking for trouble with me, I've warned you before." Yue Cheng gazed coldly at Liang Yu.
"Sorry, I dare not anymore, please let me go." Liang Yu suddenly knelt in front of Yue Cheng, begging him in terror. When he heard Yue Cheng say that the Liang family was nothing, Liang Yu knew that relying on his identity as a young master of the Liang family would no longer work here, this was the deep sea, not Left Star Island.
Looking at Liang Yu's pleading expression, Yue Cheng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. After all, he was a young master and a fourth-level alchemist, yet he was so spineless.
"Master, let's get rid of this kid," Xiang Tianhu said to Yue Cheng.
"General Yue, I was momentarily possessed by a demon and lost my senses. Spare me, just like releasing a fart. I'm not worthy of being killed by you." Liang Yu begged in terror, at this moment he only thought about how he couldn't die, for when people died they would lose everything, and he even forgot that he was still a fourth-grade alchemist.
"Ah, get lost." Yue Cheng saw that Liang Yu's appearance really didn't interest him in killing him. What he said was right, he wasn't even worthy of being killed by himself. If he were to kill him, it would be an insult to his own hands. He believed that this kid wouldn't dare to come looking for trouble with him again in the future.
"Thank you, Lord Yue." Upon hearing Yue Cheng's words, Liang Yu immediately turned around and ran away, taking three steps at a time, almost falling to the ground. He wished he had two more legs to run faster. The Starlight King also quickly followed behind Liang Yu.
"Master, why did you let him go." Zi Dian Mang asked Yue Cheng with some confusion.
"Murder should have some style, don't you think killing someone like him would sully your own hands?" Yue Cheng said with a smile to Purple Thunder Snake.
Half an hour later, in a hidden valley, Liang Yu and the Star King were leaning against a stone wall with their mouths open, panting.
"You little brat with the surname Yue, you humiliated me so much today. I'll make you pay back tenfold someday." Liang Yu gazed fiercely in the direction where he had just escaped.
Three days later, a huge power burst out from an underwater cave, the huge power was like a super bomb that set off a nearly hundred-zhang-high water column shooting into the sky, and the nearby hundred-li aquatic demons were ordered to escape outward.
In an instant, four figures wrapped in colorful light circles flew out from the bottom of the sea and jumped onto the surface. After collecting their light circles, they turned out to be Yue Cheng and his companions.
"Master, are you alright?" Zi Dian Mang asked with some concern, having just seen its master take a hit from a fourth-tier magical beast.
Yue Cheng let out a slight dry cough, and the true energy inside his body was slightly blocked. After coughing once, he felt much better. Just now, Xiao Tianhu and Zi Dianmang had their own opponents, and Yue Cheng also gritted his teeth to face off against a fourth-stage aquatic demon beast.
Four people found that the cave at the bottom of the sea had a lot of millennium yin soil, which was very useful for Yue Cheng's future refining of law instruments. Originally thought that there would be at most one sixth-order magic beast inside, but unexpectedly, after the four entered, they discovered that it was a den of magic beasts, with a total of four magic beasts inside.
"Master, you wait here for a moment, I'll go kill those few guys. The Tiger's Roar Heaven has strong demonic beasts inside, in order to ensure Yue Cheng's safety, they think it's better to come up first."
"I'm fine, let's head back first, we'll come again next time." Yue Cheng said, and immediately got on the Whistling Heaven Tiger to quickly head towards their landing spot.
"You three protect me from harm, no one and no beast can approach to kill without mercy." Yue Cheng instructed, then entered the mountain cave and set up a seal.
Yue Cheng felt that he had a sign of breaking through, so he gave up the ten-thousand-year-old yin soil in the cave first, and waited until he broke through to the fetal breath period before taking that ten-thousand-year-old yin soil.
Inside the cave, Yue Cheng sat cross-legged with his hands clasped together in a seal. The true energy of the Hunyuan True Classic began to flow through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and Twelve Main Meridians, circulating several times within his body before he entered a state of cultivation.
In Yue Cheng's dantian, a ball of pure true energy was constantly expanding. The dantian contracted at a specific frequency according to a certain rule. If one looked carefully, they could see that the contraction frequency of Yue Cheng's dantian was consistent with his Hunyuan True Classic.
As the true energy circulated, Yue Cheng's dantian showed signs of slowly expanding, and at this time, his entire body was tightly wrapped in a thick layer of cyan mist, giving off an extraordinary feeling. In Yue Cheng's mind, changes were also slowly taking place, with the spiritual power in his mind gradually condensing, but the speed of this condensation was very slow, so slow that it couldn't be seen with the naked eye, yet Yue Cheng could clearly feel it.
"Tunis, Master has been gone for three days and still hasn't come out, nothing's going to happen, right?" Outside the cave, Xiao Tianhu seemed a bit worried.
"It shouldn't be." Looking at a faint green glow in the cave, Tonys wasn't very worried.
"You said the master is doing something." Zi Dian Mang asked curiously. As for Yue Cheng's everything, both magic beasts were not very clear.
"The master is practicing, it seems like he's about to break through. "Xiao Tianhu asked: "Tonis, do you know what kind of kung fu the master is cultivating?"
Tunis said: "I just heard the adults say that the cultivation method of the adults is called Xiūzhēn, which is much more powerful than the current Dou Qi and magic."
Five days later, the cave where Yue Cheng was located was filled with a thick and dense aura of spiritual energy. His body was surrounded by a faint green glow that seemed strange, like true energy but not quite true energy. Meanwhile, in his dantian, a pure and refined true energy expanded to several times its normal size, causing his lower abdomen to bulge slightly.
"Peng" Yue Cheng's pure and true Qi in the Dan Tian suddenly exploded, immediately a powerful force beyond compare surged along the lines of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and Twelve Main Meridians, crazily impacting against the invisible barrier in Yue Cheng's brain.
"Ah" After a slight pain in Yue Cheng's mind, the invisible barrier was blown open by the powerful true energy, and then the true energy returned to the dantian again. Meanwhile, the soul power in Yue Cheng's mind quickly condensed, and the soul power began to emit a faint light.
"What kind of kung fu is this kid practicing, how did his soul power become so strong?" The demon hidden in Yue Cheng's mind almost got swallowed up by Yue Cheng's soul power.
The green mang in the cave began to re-enter Yue Cheng's body through his pores and seven orifices, transforming into a thread of pure true energy that flowed towards Yue Cheng's dantian.
"Yue Cheng slowly let out a mouthful of turbid air, and slightly opened his eyes. His eyes sparkled with a depth that was hard to describe, like the stars in the sky. For a moment, Yue Cheng retracted the aura from his body."
"As for entering the fetal breathing period. Yue Cheng felt joyful, sensing the thick true energy in his body, and his soul force had also expanded a lot again. From now on, he could start refining his own magic weapon."
"Yi Qian, wait for me, I will be on time to meet you at Qingyang Gate. The humiliation of Yue Cheng and the Yue family, I will come back to settle." A cold intent flashed in Yue Cheng's eyes.
"Yāng Shén Dān" Yue Cheng took out the fifth-grade elixir "Nourishing Spirit Pill" that he had refined during the previous Alchemist Grand Prix. Now that he had broken through to the Fetal Breathing stage, it was time for him to take the Nourishing Spirit Pill to lay a solid foundation for himself. As soon as the pill entered his mouth, a powerful spiritual energy transformed into a warm and gentle force that slowly surged towards Yue Cheng's brain.
Following the principles of the Hunyuan True Classic, Yue Cheng slowly absorbed the spiritual energy from the Nourishing Spirit Pill. After a day of continuous absorption, the spiritual energy of the Nourishing Spirit Pill was fully wrapped around Yue Cheng's mind, constantly nourishing his soul power. "Next, I should refine my magic tool," Yue Cheng murmured to himself.
"Humming" Wan Shou furnace was taken out again by Yue Cheng, and immediately Yue Cheng took out a large number of materials for refining instruments from his body. Among them, the Qing Jin obtained in Wuming Mountain with Murong Xiao also came out.
This time, Yue Cheng plans to refine a treasure sword and another one that was previously used by Huaxia himself, the Supreme Confinement Immortal Tower. The Supreme Confinement Immortal Tower is a magical artifact recorded in the Hunyuan True Classic, but for now, Yue Cheng can only refine it into a magic tool, and later, as his cultivation progresses, he will refine it into an immortal artifact.
With a "hiss" of his hands, the two strands of intense flames were shot into the Wan Shou furnace by Yue Cheng. The Supreme True Fire that Yue Cheng was now gathering was even more powerful than it had been during the later stages of his enlightenment, and with the boost to his soul's power, he was confident that refining a mid-grade 5th rank elixir would be child's play.
The materials that were refined one by one were slowly refined in the Wan Shou Furnace by Yue Cheng. Refining a treasure sword was not too difficult for Yue Cheng, but refining the Supreme Difficulty Celestial Tower was not an easy task for him.
The Supreme Tribulation Pagoda has a total of seven layers, each layer is more difficult to practice than the previous one, but each layer's power is greater. During the Huaxia era, although Yue Cheng was a superpower among the six scattered immortals, he had only managed to refine the Supreme Tribulation Pagoda to the fifth layer. Once it reaches the fifth layer, the Supreme Tribulation Pagoda can be considered a divine artifact.
The ranks of the artifacts are divided into five levels: artifact, spiritual artifact, Taoist artifact, quasi-immortal artifact, and immortal artifact. Currently, Yue Cheng's cultivation is only enough to refine artifacts, which means he can only make the lowest-level artifacts. However, Yue Cheng also has the confidence that his artifact-refining skills are sufficient to deal with the top masters of the Dou Wang Tower.
Seven days later, as a tremor occurred inside the mountain cave, the three people of Xiao Tianhu were considering whether to rush into the mountain cave to see if Yue Cheng had encountered any problems. At this time, Yue Cheng's figure walked out, and the aura on his body also underwent a subtle change.
After seven days, Yue Cheng finally refined his own treasured sword and the Supreme Confining Immortal Tower. He also coincidentally refined three other slightly inferior magical instruments.
Yue Cheng's refined treasure sword is called "Yin Yang Sword", which is also a level of magic tool, compared to the Supreme Trouble Xian Tower, it is not much different. As for the other three magic tools that Yue Cheng refined with ease, they are a long sword, a soft whip, and a large knife, these three are what Yue Cheng refined for Tonis and Xiao Tian Hu Zi Dian Yan.
"Take a look at these three weapons and see if they fit your hands." Before the three of them could speak, Yue Cheng had already tossed the three weapons to them. Toni's was a sword, Zidian Mang's was a soft whip, and Xiaotian Hu's was a large knife. The three weapons were also specially crafted by Yue Cheng according to each of their characteristics.
With these three weapons, Yue Cheng was confident that the strength of all three could be increased by 30% to 40% or more. Yue Cheng had once studied the introduction of magic-infused weapons on the Xuan Tian Continent, which simply involved adding a magical beast's inner core to enhance its power. The weapons Yue Cheng had refined for the three were much better than those with magic infusions.
The most magical weapon can only increase the user's power by one or two percent, but Yue Cheng's can increase it by three or four percent. By the time his cultivation reaches the Golden Elixir stage, Yue Cheng is confident that he can even refine a weapon that increases its power by seven or eight percent. Think about it, with such a terrifying weapon, who among his peers would still be a match for him?
The three of them took the weapons with a puzzled expression, and slightly waved them in their hands. Suddenly, the expressions on the faces of the three changed slightly, and then they all flew up into the air, each wielding their own weapon with all their might towards the endless sea surface.
"What's going on, how did my power increase so much?" "And my attack speed, how did it become so fast?" The three of them were shocked beyond measure. The huge sea surface was stirred up by the three people, with waves surging and some nearby aquatic demons fleeing in a hurry.
After a moment, the three of them landed happily in front of Yue Cheng, especially Xiao Tianhu, whose face was smiling like a blooming flower.
"Master, is this great sword for me?" Xiao Tianhu asked with delight. He discovered that his strength had actually increased by 30-40%, which was truly terrifying. From now on, when he encountered a sixth-stage magic beast of the same rank, he would definitely be able to kill his opponent.
"Not bad, the weapons are all refined for you, it's good as long as they suit you." Yue Cheng said faintly, the stronger the three people were, the stronger their own forces would be.
"Thank you, master." "Thank you, sir." The three of them were overjoyed. Such a powerful weapon must be incredibly precious.
"Master, are you still a master craftsman?" Tonis asked with utmost reverence. A master craftsman was also a noble profession, just like an alchemist. Some powerful master craftsmen could directly increase the power of their equipment by several times, such people were not noble?
"Alchemists? They can't compare to me." Yue Cheng smiled slightly, both alchemy and pill refinement were just the most basic things for a Huaxia cultivator. But on the Xuantian Continent, even one of these was a noble profession, it's really hard to understand.
"We should go back to the cave and collect the Millennium Dark Soil." Yue Cheng smiled slightly, now with the four of them against those four magical beasts, it shouldn't be a problem.
"Let's go, we'll take down those few guys." Xiao Tianhu let out a loud roar, now that he had his battle-axe in hand, it wasn't very difficult to strike and kill magical beasts of the same rank.
The four of them each emitted a ring of light to wrap themselves up and slowly entered the seabed. Xiao Tianhu and Zi Dianmang were both land-based magic beasts, so they couldn't live in the ocean like sea-based magic beasts for an extended period of time, but it was okay for a short while.
"PS brothers and sisters, the Cultivator is finally online! Today will be an absolute explosion! I don't want anything else, just give me flowers! Remember to throw flowers for Little Yu, let's burst into the rankings together! Little Yu thanks everyone!"
