Killing God - Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Assassinate
On the bustling horseshoe street, The crowd surged, it was as if it was a world apart from the secluded alley a few blocks away, Countless cultivators walked along this street in a leisurely or hurried manner. Occasionally, someone would raise their head to look at the sky. Because of the existence of the Heavenly Yin Mountain Range, the sky above Xilu City was always cloudy. However, to these rogue cultivators, this was not something they should pay attention to. On the streets, perhaps there was a special story in everyone’s back, but it was never known.

On the first floor of the Heavens, business was still booming. On dozens of counters, large quantities of cultivation spirit materials were constantly bought and exchanged for bags after bags of spirit crystals. The current level of human cultivation, After tens of thousands of years of development, There was already a nearly complete system, and one of the most important common knowledge was that apart from their innate bone talent, the most important thing for cultivators to cultivate the Immortal Dao was the consumption of these foreign spiritual materials. In fact, to some extent, the importance of these spiritual materials was almost no less than the talent of cultivators themselves.

A cultivator who often consumed miraculous pills and spirit crystals to cultivate peacefully every day, even if his talent was slightly inferior, he would definitely surpass a person who had good talent but was in distress and poverty in the end.

This was also the fundamental reason why a large number of rogue cultivators were the lowest level of the cultivation world. This was because rogue cultivators were cultivators without sects or backgrounds. Because of various opportunities, they had intentionally or unintentionally stepped into the path of cultivation. Regardless of their talent and bones, in terms of financial resources, they were naturally countless times weaker than the existing cultivation sects and clans. No matter how good your talent and bones are, if you can’t even guarantee a basic spirit crystal, how can you expect any good results from your cultivation?

After all, in the Primordial Chaos World, humans were different from the demons who were known as the proud children of heaven.

The demon race was a true Heavenly Choice God Race. Its natural physical body was a hundred times stronger than the human race. Most importantly, the demon race could even directly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate various unique divine abilities of the demon race. It could summon wind and rain to move mountains and fill seas. All sorts of abilities were terrifying and terrifying. In contrast, during the long dark era when the demons ruled over the Primordial Chaos Realms, the demons were the strongest among the Primordial Chaos Hundred Races, but the humans were naturally fragile. For some reason, the humans were unable to absorb the slightest bit of spiritual energy from the heavens and earth, so they did not have any divine abilities to speak of.

The only difference between humans is that …

In the vast grandmist world, In the long dark ages of the Heavenly Yao Court, The fragile human race had always been at the bottom of all races. Although the population of the human race was so large that it exceeded the combined population of all the other races by more than ten times, it was arbitrarily invaded by the powerful races led by Demon race, like a large herd of captive livestock.

How could a herd of fat sheep and pigs in captivity expect them to fight against the ferocious tiger wolves?

That long period of time, which was called the Dark Age by the descendants of the human race, was not something that could be casually said. At that time, the human race truly did not see any bright future. Any random upper-class race could humiliate the human race at will. The human race was forced to do all sorts of lowly jobs, slave to slave, work desperately, and feed those high and mighty Heavenly Clans. There were even many times when powerful races led by the demons would directly slaughter large numbers of humans during ceremonies such as sacrifices, funerals, and battles. They would not treat humans as one of the Hundred Primordial Clans like them, but as animals like captive livestock.

In such a terrifying time, the fate of the human race could be imagined. If it wasn’t for the fact that the human race’s fertility was really strong, and that they had always maintained their own race’s reproduction with a large number of people, they would probably have been killed long ago by the heavenly chosen God Race.

Such a dark fate was suffocating and desperate. Like a dark cloud, it shrouded the heads of the human race until at the end of the Heavenly Yao Royal Court, a little thing that had changed the fate of the entire Primordial Chaos Realms was discovered.

That was the spirit crystal, A small stone produced only at the place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered at the peak of the Spirit Mountain Dragon Vein, Its entire body was translucent and translucent. It was the size of a finger and looked like a prism. It looked very beautiful. Originally, it was only a low-grade ornament that was useless. However, one day, at a certain moment, or by chance, fate changed. For some unknown reason, someone discovered that the human race could actually absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from these spirit crystals into its body through some special methods …

It was filled with the invisible, colorless, tasteless, invisible, yet ubiquitous spiritual energy of the heavens and earth. As everyone knew, it was the source of all the power divine abilities of the races of Primordial Chaos. The reason why Demon race was so powerful and terrifying was because they were the only Heaven’s Choice race that could directly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their bodies to cultivate. The other Primordial Chaos races were also able to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in almost every way. The only thing they were unable to do was the human race. This was also the root cause of their weak strength and miserable fate being bullied.

But since then, everything has changed.

All sorts of sorrowful memories, or magnificent legends and tragic wars, have now become distant memories from ten thousand years ago. Back then, Demon race, who had once been powerful and arrogant, and other outsiders who had also fled arrogantly, had long since disappeared from the edge of the Primordial Chaos World, or disappeared into the ruthless past of time. Today, in this vast and vast grandmist world, the human race was the ruler and the human race was the master. This had already explained everything.

All of this was rooted in the small, beautiful, translucent, and cute little stone.

Spiritual crystals were the necessities of all human cultivators. Only through these small stones could cultivators absorb the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth. Moreover, with the advancement of the Dao Cultivation Realm, the amount of Spiritual crystals required by cultivators was also increasing.

Without spirit crystals, there would be no cultivation.

These words were true everywhere.

Spirit crystals were so important that cultivators couldn’t leave for a moment. Therefore, in the current cultivation world, spirit crystals were equivalent to money, replacing the gold and silver in the mortal world. In the current Heavenly First Floor, wandering cultivators had to purchase all kinds of spirit materials needed for cultivation, and the ones that were paid to Heavenly First Floor were all spirit crystals.

The gentle luster and the crisp and melodious sound of spirit crystals hitting each other formed scenes that intoxicated the cultivators. In the flickering light and shadows, faces that pursued the dream of becoming an immortal were reflected. Even though the road was extremely difficult and winding, most people would fall on the road far or near, but there were still countless successors who threw themselves into it desperately.

Perhaps, becoming an immortal was always an irresistible temptation for a mortal. Moreover, once one cultivated, even if one could not become an immortal, one could still increase one’s lifespan by several times and possess the power to move mountains and seas. Who wouldn’t be fascinated?

After examining the lively scene in the front hall and confirming that there was nothing abnormal as usual, Shen Tai slowly walked to the entrance of the Heavenly First Floor and looked around.

Everything was as usual, as usual, as if it was another peaceful day.

The few Xuanyin Sect disciples who were standing or sitting at the door like idle men all smiled and nodded in greeting when they saw Shen Tai coming over. Actually, with their cultivation realm, the worst ones were all at the Origin Condensation Realm. It could be said that they had truly stepped into the Grand Dao of Immortal Cultivation, and were completely different from outer sect disciples who were still trapped in the Qi Condensation Realm. At the very least, in the Xuanyin Sect, ordinary outer sect disciples had to be respectful when they saw these inner sect disciples, and they usually didn’t pay attention to these weaklings.

However, Big Boss Shen Tai and Boss Shen had the capital to build a Heavenly First Floor, and the spirit crystals that lit up everyday flowed like flowing water. Just relying on this alone was enough to make him different from the rest of the world.

The expression on Shen Tai’s face was also gentle. He smiled sweetly and nodded to these people. His gaze swept past them. The bearded man who had previously spoken to Shen Shi paused for a moment before walking back with Shi Shi Ran.

After passing through the lively and noisy shop hall, Shen Tai returned to the backyard. He sat down in a secluded pavilion in a small garden and looked at the surrounding trees and grass. He was silent, as if he was thinking of something.

Not long after, a figure walked over from the other side of the small garden. It was the bearded disciple of the Xuanyin Sect who had been secretly guarding the Heavenly First Floor outside the door. At this moment, his expression was calm and his footsteps were light. His gaze seemed to sweep aimlessly through the small garden. Afterwards, it was as if he had accidentally seen Shen Tai in the pavilion. After a slight pause, he walked over.

“Boss Shen, you’re so leisurely.” The bearded man laughed and walked into the pavilion.

Shen Tai glanced at him and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips. However, his expression was somewhat cold. However, his tone was still as gentle as usual. He said, “Senior Brother Chen, you’ve worked hard. Please sit down.”

There was a round stone table in the pavilion. There were four stone stools beside them. After the two of them sat down separately, Senior Brother Chen did not say anything. He only looked at Shen Tai with deep meaning in his eyes.

Shen Tai did not hesitate. He casually took out an ordinary wooden box from his bosom and placed it in front of him. He calmly said, “I put away a small toy a few days ago. Perhaps it is to meet Senior Brother’s heart, please accept it with a smile.”

Senior Brother Chen glanced at him and picked up the wooden box. He exerted some strength with his fingers and opened the lid of the box. A gentle blue light flashed.

His hand suddenly froze in midair.

“Pata!”

With a crisp sound, he forcefully closed the lid of the wooden box.

Senior Brother Chen’s breathing seemed somewhat heavy. He didn’t know if he was excited or nervous, or if he was a little frightened. However, after stabilizing his mind for a moment, his expression returned to normal again. However, the way he looked at Shen Tai was completely different from before.

“Boss Shen is good.” He stared at Shen Tai for a while and whispered.

Shen Tai narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was mocking himself. “It’s no big deal,” he said. “I’ve been here for more than ten years and created the current situation on the Heavenly First Floor with one hand. Doing these small things isn’t really that big of a deal.”

Elder Brother Chen took a deep breath and put the wooden box into his embrace. He stood up and said, “Since Boss Shen has achieved this level, everything will be as we promised.”

Shen Tai nodded. After a moment of silence, he whispered, “I hope you can keep your word.”

Senior Brother Chen raised his eyebrows and said, “Don’t worry, Boss Shen. I don’t dare to say anything else. Only this promise-abiding reputation is enough to boast about the world.”

Shen Tai slowly nodded. Looking at his appearance, he seemed to believe in the promise made by the person in front of him. However, this senior brother Chen was clearly an inner disciple of the Dark Yin Sect. At this moment, he was talking to Shen Tai until the end. He kept saying that he was despicable. There was a faint trace of strangeness in his voice.

Seeing that Senior Brother Chen was about to leave, Shen Tai’s expression suddenly changed as he said, “Senior Brother Chen.”

The bearded man paused for a moment, then turned around and said, “What’s wrong?”

Shen Tai looked at him and said, “Shen Tai has something that I don’t know. I want to consult senior brother, but I don’t know which senior instructed me to deal with Old Monster Li.”

Senior Brother Chen smiled and said, “Boss Shen, you’re asking too much.”

Shen Tai pursed his lips and smiled. Senior Brother Chen cupped his hands and left with large strides. Only Shen Tai was left in the pavilion. This short and fat figure slowly turned around and looked into the distance. The towering Heavenly Yin Mountain Range was shrouded in endless clouds in the distance.

After a long time, he used an inaudible voice to softly mutter to himself, “He actually dared to directly plot against a Grand Daoist at the Origin Core Realm. Who could this person be?”

(Suddenly, after a day and a half, I feel pressured to get up in the morning … but I can still hold on. There’s still a chapter ^ _ ^ at 7 p.m.)
