Chapter 403: Three Months Later (1)

Translator: CKtalon
Wu Qi was overjoyed when he learned that his young master’s strength had improved tremendously. “Young Master, why don’t I get Sanya to prepare some food for you?”

“Alright, I happen to be hungry.” Xu Jingming nodded.

“Sanya.” Wu Qi immediately got the maidservants to prepare the dishes.

Xu Jingming was in a good mood. The increase in his Dharmic powers in Demon Vanquishing World meant that his mental strength had reached a new level.

Logically speaking, only Lv. 8 cosmic lifeforms could cultivate to the fourth realm. Even though he had consumed the Ice Flower Spirit Liquid, his mental strength needed to reach the peak of Lv. 7 before he could cultivate to the fourth realm.

!!

Five months after joining the Primordial Research Institute, my mental strength has finally reached the peak of Lv. 7. I hope to reach Lv. 8 as soon as possible.

Reaching Lv. 8 is really the starting point for the Primordial Research Institute’s peripheral members.

The peerless geniuses recruited had the strongest legacy and Ice Flower Spirit Liquid. They reached Lv. 8 in a short period of time.

The only difficult thing was going from Lv. 8 to Lv. 9. It generally took hundreds or even more than a thousand years!

“Master.” The two maidservants smiled as they held a wooden plate and served the food, fruits, and wine. These two maidservants also knew that their master was a powerful Demon Vanquisher, so they naturally felt honored.

Being an ordinary rich man’s maidservant was completely different from being a powerful Demon Vanquisher’s maidservant.

All their neighbors and relatives would be more polite to them.

…

On the night he broke through to the fourth realm, Xu Jingming finally mastered the divine power, Astral Divine Body.

After coming to Demon Vanquishing World, of my three main spells—Bolt, Entrapment Net, and Protective Starlight—Protective Starlight was the last to be raised to the level of a divine power. Xu Jingming sat cross-legged on the bed as endless starlight constantly surged into his body.

As his body slowly transformed, his tendons, bones, and muscles transformed—from an ordinary body of flesh and blood, he transformed into an Astral Divine Body that was built on Demon Vanquishing Dharmic powers and starlight.

The transformation process lasted for more than six hours.

I’ve finally gained basic mastery of the Astral Divine Body. Xu Jingming sat there. A divine body can gather and disperse at will. When dispersed… it becomes infinite starlight.

Whoosh.

The seated Xu Jingming dispersed into a stream of starlight, and with a flash, he flew out the window. In the blink of an eye, he circled the courtyard several times and flew high in the sky before returning to the house.

When gathering, I gain immense strength. Starlight condensed into Xu Jingming, and he returned to sitting cross-legged on the bed. Then, he only clenched his right hand slightly and—

Bang!

The air exploded.

It feels a little like an Origin lifeform. Xu Jingming took in the experience. An Origin lifeform’s body is formed from Cosmic Force, and it can be modified. It’s just that the evolution and transformation of the body in reality… is much more complicated. My knowledge is far from enough.

Xu Jingming got up, walked to a corner of the room, and picked up the spear holster on the ground.

It’s been a few days since I obtained this divine spear. I haven’t been able to wield it. Xu Jingming sighed with emotion. With an ordinary body of flesh and blood, he could only be capable of lifting it thanks to having cellular control.

But when it came to executing exquisite spearmanship? Strength was far from enough.

Now that he had mastered the Astral Divine Body, he could easily carry the spear holster.

Whoosh.

With a flash of starlight, he arrived at an empty space in the back garden.

I’m already capable of supersonic speeds, he thought. Moreover, there’s no sound or movement when I fly as starlight.

He took out two spear shafts from his spear holster and connected them before beginning to execute his spearmanship. He didn’t deliberately pursue speed and only thrust out as he wished.

Starlight surrounded him, and the air fluctuations caused by Xu Jingming’s spear were naturally borne by the starlight without destroying the surrounding vegetation.

It feels better to use spearmanship. Xu Jingming had practiced weapons since he was a child after all. He wasn’t quite accustomed to casting spells from a distance like he did ever since he came to Demon Vanquishing World.

When he encountered a demon, he instinctively wanted to charge forward with a spear! But with his mortal body, he would be courting death if he went forward.

Now that I’ve mastered three divine powers, I’ll focus on Astral Divine Body in the future, Xu Jingming thought. Firstly, I can use the advantage of my actual combat techniques. When the time comes, I can combine melee weapons and spells to fight the enemy with better effects. Secondly, I can also train in actual combat in Demon Vanquishing World.

His actual combat strength was considered outstanding among Lv. 8 cosmic lifeforms, but there was still plenty of room for improvement.

Cheng’an Prefecture, White County.

The Chen family patriarch was entertaining the county magistrate, Lord Wang.

“Old Chen.” Lord Wang was drunk as he smiled and said, “I have good news to tell you.”

“What’s the good news?” The old patriarch raised his eyebrows. As the patriarch of one of the top families in White County, the Chen family, the county magistrate had to show him some respect.

“The Chen Qi your family expelled,” Lord Wang said in a low voice, “is an impressive Demon Vanquisher. A few days ago, he killed an Earth Demon in the prefecture capital and became brothers with the patriarch of the Qi family.”

The old patriarch’s triangular eyes turned colder as he whispered, “Killed an Earth Demon? Become brothers with the patriarch of the Qi family in the prefecture capital?”

“This is news from the prefecture capital. Not many people in White County know about it,” Lord Wang said. “Old Chen, that Chen Qi is ultimately a member of the Chen family. Blood is thicker than water! As long as the Chen family admits their mistake and bow their heads to Chen Qi… I believe he will still be willing to return to the Chen family.”
