Killing God - Chapter 371

Chapter 371 Giving Monarch a Good Name
On Black Turtle Island.

Many disciples of the Soaring Firmament Sect walked into the ancient teleportation formation one after another. The enormous golden embryo stone emitted an ancient and gentle golden radiance, sprinkling onto this group of human cultivators.

Within the crowd, there were originally two groups of people of different sizes in Guanhai platform Square. Perhaps it was because their positions were messed up, or because the territory of the teleportation array was not small, but it was still not as wide as the sea viewing platform. Therefore, the Lingxiao Sect disciples stood closer, and the two circles unknowingly disappeared.

Shen Shi heaved a sigh of relief. The look of being watched and even examined by many gazes from time to time on the viewing platform wasn’t a comfortable feeling for him. On the contrary, Sun You, who was standing beside him, looked at it with a calm expression. He was much more experienced than him in dealing with such a scene. He was indeed worthy of being the disciple of everyone.

At this moment, Young Friend Sun seemed to feel that Shen Shi was looking at him. He turned around and smiled at him, saying, “You will go to the Hundred Mountains Realm to train in a while. Have you made preparations these past few days?”

Shen Shi smiled and nodded, patting the Ruyi bag on his waist. He had always been cautious, calm, and thoughtful. This trip to the Hundred Mountains Realm was not a small matter. It was said that he would likely encounter powerful demonic beasts that could not be underestimated during the trial. Although demonic beasts were often a very precious spirit material besides spirit herbs and spirit mines, it was true that they had to return alive before that.

Therefore, during this period of time, Shen Shi was basically preparing for this trial in the Hundred Mountain Realm. Of course, the most important thing was to prepare all kinds of talismans that he could use. Before returning to the mountains, he had already bought a large amount of materials for making talismans in Floating Cloud City. In the past few days, apart from the daily required lessons, he had practically stayed in the cave to make talismans.

Therefore, the amount of talismans he had accumulated in his Ruyi Pouch could be said to be the richest since he started cultivating. In addition to the pills he had collected and the three bottles of Tier 3 spirit pills that Zhong Qinglu had given him, Shen Shi felt that this was the strongest time he had ever cultivated.

Apart from that, after cultivating for a few days, the spiritual energy aura in Shen Shi’s body gradually stabilized. Shen Shi finally confirmed that he had completely advanced to the middle stage of the Origin Condensation Realm without any other unusual sequelae. The only thing that made him uneasy was that the ball of spiritual energy that was originally at the acupoint of Mei Xin Qiao had almost disappeared, leaving behind only a trace of extremely weak or negligible residual spiritual energy.

However, during the past few days of cultivation, Shen Shi quickly discovered that under the effect of the Heart Cleansing Curse, the Spiritual Energy in that mysterious acupoint in his eyebrows and heart apertures had started to increase bit by bit every day, just like in the past. Although this growth rate is extremely slow, However, if he could continue cultivating, Shen Shi’s mood would be much calmer. He even thought of more. This unexpected advancement was obviously completely different from the cultivation path of most cultivators. The ball of Spiritual Energy in the Mei Xin Qiao acupoint had played a decisive role. Perhaps, when he cultivated to a higher realm in the future, would a similar situation occur?

Finally, after Shen Shi’s cultivation level rose, he quickly discovered that he had made a lot of progress in controlling the Five Elements Spell Technique. The most obvious thing was that the Spiritual Energy in his dantian had greatly increased. When he controlled the Spell Technique, especially the Tier 3 Spell, Ice Sword Technique, which was too powerful to backfire on him, there was basically no sign of difficulty. In other words, when he used the Ice Sword Technique again, there was no longer any danger of backlash. However, there was still some unease in Shen Shi’s heart. Because in the past, he had never heard of a Tier 3 spell actually backlashing against a spellcaster because it was too powerful.

Was it all because of that mysterious Yin Yang Curse?

About half an hour later, Suddenly, an enormous aura appeared. It descended from the sky and landed directly in this ancient teleportation formation. In an instant, all the golden embryonic boulders shone brightly. A golden radiance soared into the sky. An ancient aura was like a giant slowly passing through ancient times. Even light began to distort and shake in the surrounding space.

A moment later, the heavens and earth rumbled, and the golden light soared, instantly drowning everything.

When Shen Shi regained consciousness, he felt as if he had been asleep for a long time, yet he had an illusion that he had only closed his eyes once. When he opened his eyes again, he discovered that the world in front of him was completely different from what he had seen not long ago.

There was still an ancient teleportation formation made of Golden Embryo Stones. However, the sky was no longer the clear blue sky in the sea. Instead, it had turned into a somewhat gray and gloomy sky. The surroundings were no longer the beautiful island, but a city made of giant stones.

Ling Xiao City, the foundation city that Lingxiao Sect had built in his backyard, the Hundred Mountains Realm, was right in front of his eyes, and he was already in this city.

Walking out of the ancient teleportation array, Hundreds of Lingxiao Sect disciples were standing nearby, and the order from above was quickly passed down. Everyone took a break again. The few Origin Core Realm cultivators who were in charge of the trial would meet once for a final discussion. After that, they would lead everyone to the mountains that had been planned for a long time to cultivate. At the same time, they would explain the rules of this year’s trial.

The disciples of Lingxiao Sect who heard the news all obeyed the order. At this moment, no one would wander around without opening their eyes, so they basically stayed near the teleportation array. Many of these Origin Condensation Realm disciples had actually come to the Hundred Mountains Realm for the first time, including Shen Shi himself. Therefore, when they carefully sized up this city with curiosity, they quickly discovered that Ling Xiao City was actually not a large-scale city.

In fact, Ling Xiao City was much smaller than Floating Cloud City. With this ancient teleportation array as the center, one could almost see the four towering city walls when one looked back and forth. All the buildings in the city, like the city walls, had distinct traces of sturdiness and roughness. They were not exquisite, but they were extremely sturdy.

While everyone was moving freely, Shen Shi and Sun You walked around casually side by side. Shen Shi looked at his surroundings and smiled at Sun You, “This place in High Firmament City is actually like this. It’s a little different from what I imagined.”

Sun You smiled. “You’re not the only one who thinks like this, “However, I heard that when the city was built, it was still at the beginning of the sect. The founding ancestor of the sect, Gan Jingcheng, served as a service road. This city should be practical, frivolous, and extravagant. Thus, for many years, the sect’s successive headmasters have followed the orders of Gan. In this Hundred Mountains Realm, everything was focused on actual needs and never great construction was carried out.”

Shen Shi nodded and said, “This is very good. Anyway, this is his own backyard. There’s no need to show it to outsiders.”

Just as he was speaking, Sun You’s gaze suddenly turned to one place. With a “Yi” sound, he gently stabbed Shen Shi with his arm, signaling him to look over there. Shen Shi turned around and saw two Lingxiao Sect disciples standing beside a stone wall. They were He Xiaomei and Jiang Hongguang, who hadn’t seen each other for a long time.

The two people’s emotions and expressions didn’t seem to be too good. He Xiaomei frowned tightly, and her pretty face seemed to be somewhat irritated, completely disappearing from her usual cheerful and cheerful appearance. On the other hand, Jiang Hongguang’s complexion was ashen. It seemed that his temperament was even stronger, but he was still trying to suppress what he was trying to say to He Xiaomei.

As she spoke, He Xiaomei’s expression became uglier and uglier. She suddenly stomped her foot and looked angry. She angrily said to Jiang Hongguang, “Why are you so ancient? I really don’t know why you’ve turned into this kind of person. How many times have I told you? I have nothing to hide from you, let alone what I’ve done to you.”

Jiang Hongguang’s expression was not very good. He sneered and said, “Then why don’t you tell me clearly where you went that night when you didn’t come home?”

He Xiaomei seemed to have been asked this question countless times and was already bored. She said angrily, “I’ve already said everything that needs to be said. There are some things that I just don’t want to tell you, so what if you do?”

Jiang Hongguang rushed up angrily and said in a deep voice, “Is that because you have a ghost in your heart?”

He Xiaomei was so angry that her face turned pale, but she still managed to endure it for a moment. She said, “Let me tell you again, someone was injured that day. I sent him to take care of him for no other reason.”

Jiang Hongguang stared at her and clenched his fists. He felt as if his heart had been bitten by an ant. A wave of sour intent surged into his heart. He angrily gritted his teeth and said, “Take care of her, or did you take care of her all night? Even so, why didn’t you tell me who that person was?”

He Xiaomei looked at him for a long time, a trace of disappointment and even exhaustion flashing across her face. She shook her head and said, “Don’t I understand your temperament? Once you know that person’s name, you will definitely find trouble with him.” As I said, that person was just one of our fellow disciples, and he didn’t ask me for help at that time. I was just meddling in his affairs and taking care of him. If I really cause trouble for him, I can’t do it. And … ”

She stared fixedly at Jiang Hongguang. Her eyes were slightly red, but her gaze suddenly became firm. Under her gaze, Jiang Hongguang suddenly panicked and subconsciously said, “Little Mei, listen to me. I really like you too much, so I can’t stand you and others …”

“What about me and others?” He Xiaomei looked at him and said in a low and slow tone, “Senior Brother Jiang, you are not one of my people. What happened between me and others? Actually, it is not your turn to care about me like this.”

Jiang Hongguang’s body trembled, and his face instantly turned ashen, his arms trembling slightly.

Looking at his appearance, He Xiaomei’s eyes seemed to flash with a trace of unbearability, but she quickly became firm. She whispered, “Senior Brother Jiang, I understand your intentions. I know that you are a good person, but our temperament is indeed not suitable for us to be together. Therefore, in the future, we should … not meet again.”
