Chapter 85: Consort Taizhen (1/2)

This was Wang Chong’s first time experiencing the prowess of the World Constraint, or rather, the rejection of the world. It felt as though the entire world was hostile toward him.

Before such overwhelming strength, Wang Chong felt insignificant, helpless, and fearful.

And it was likely he wouldn’t be the only one. Wang Chong believed that no matter who it was, before that imposing torrent of the world, all cultivators would feel as inconsequential as an ant.

Leaning against the frame of his bed, Wang Chong panted heavily. Even until now, perspiration was still flowing freely down his body.

“So this is the price of my reincarnation, I’ve become the enemy of the entire world. If not for the Destiny Stone, I would have been crushed to smithereens long ago.”

Closing his eyes, Wang Chong thought silently. A bitter smile slowly crept onto his lips.

Wang Chong finally realized what kind of trial lay before the reincarnators of the world. His only hope at this point was the Destiny Stone.

That torrent of the world was ceaseless, and it would come crashing down on him again and again. However, the faint light exuded from the Destiny Stone provided him a sanctuary amidst the raging storm, allowing him to survive the calamity.

“That 20 Destiny Energy should have been consumed by now. And this is only the first wave!”

The moment he thought of this, the Destiny Stone appeared in his mind once more.

【Warning]

【Only 5 Destiny Energy points is left!]

【Countdown to the next World Constraint: 3 months!]

【Destiny Energy required: 30 points!]

…

Reading the news that appeared in his mind, Wang Chong smiled bitterly. It was exactly as he has expected. The Destiny Energy that he needed to repel the World Constraint had increased to 30 from 25.

Sitting on the ground, Wang Chong’s stamina slowly recovered. Gradually, a mystical feeling spread across his entire body. Surge after surge of energy foreign to him suddenly burst bit by bit from his pores, muscles, and beneath his skin.

He could feel that his physical strength was increasing along with the recovery of his stamina. Furthermore, this energy seemed to wield incredible penetrative ability. Seeping through his skin and muscles into his bones and bone marrow, it began to strengthen Wang Chong’s bones, meridians, and his muscles.

“Un? This is…”

Wang Chong was alarmed. Then soon, he came to a realization. The Destiny Stone once mentioned that with the successful repulsion of each World Constraint, his physical body would be strengthened.

Thinking such, Wang Chong was delighted. He abruptly stood up and began to execute the Celestial Steps, cultivating by the formula of the Herculean Punch. Peng peng peng! Shock waves burst about the room, and an air current reminiscent of tidal waves were generated.

It was as he expected! When Wang Chong executed the Herculean Punch, the speed at which the gradually dissipating energy seeped into his body increased significantly. Wang Chong could feel his bones absorbing the nourishment from his bloodstream, growing stronger swiftly.

“Could this energy be the remaining Power of the World?”

Wang Chong was overjoyed. Recalling the grand Power of the World, he wondered if it was possible that the faint yellow light barrier formed through Destiny Energy has captured some of the dissipating Power of the World and directed it to him.

“If that’s the case, the World Constraint isn’t as bad as I thought!”

Wang Chong smiled. Immersing his mind into his martial arts, he quickened his pace in practicing the Herculean Punch.

Time seemed to creep by slowly in the room.

Kacha!

Wang Chong heard a series of cracking sound in his bones which sounded like popping beans. Somehow, he could feel that he has broken through a bottleneck, and his strength instantaneously rose tremendously.

“Panther Bone 2-dan!”

Exhilarated and refreshed, not only did Wang Chong recover his strength, the internal injury he has sustained by the attack of the Eastern Islands assassin has recovered, and his cultivation has risen by a significant amount as well.

Now that he has reached ‘Panther Bone 2-dan’, it was just a matter of time before he breaks through Origin Energy Tier 6!

Thrilled, Wang Chong only fell asleep when dawn approached.

…

“Mother, I’ve returned!”

The next day, while Wang Chong and Madam Wang was eating, a lively voice suddenly sounded. The doors opened, and Wang Chong’s little sister barged in with two heaven-piercing horn braids. As she walked in, she chewed on a fragrant chicken thigh piece that she might have received from her cousin.

“Brother, I heard that baddies have come to our house yesterday night. Where are they? Where are they? I’ll beat them up!”

The Wang Family’s little sister furiously scanned her surroundings as she waved her white fists about, as though flaunting her strength.

“You’ve become really busy since you started hanging out with our cousin. They would have long escaped if we were to wait for you!”

Wang Chong glanced at his little sister and reprimanded.

After a few days of absence, his little sister seemed to have changed completely. She was equipped with a rattle drum by the waist, and her shoes has changed to one with flower and canary embroidery and a tiny silver bell on each of them. There was even a kite behind her.

——From the looks of it, she hasn’t been idle since he gave her the hundred gold taels. She has used the money to live ‘carefree’ for a period of time.

Upon hearing Wang Chong’s words, Wang Xiao Yao stuck out her tongue and rushed over to sit beside her mother. Her eyes scanned the table and she quickly picked up her chopsticks, stabbed a roasted goose on the table, and started chewing on it happily.

“Gluttonous and playful! You haven’t changed at all!”

Wang Chong shook his head. Looking at his little sister, he felt helpless.

Given his little sister’s talents, if she were to expend some effort on her cultivation, almost no one in the capital would be a match for her.

However, his little sister was only ten-year-old. Playfulness and gluttony were part of her nature, Wang Chong couldn’t change that.

Little sister didn’t return alone. Tagging behind her were the experts Cousin Wang Zhu Yan dispatched over. They were the main defensive force of big uncle’s residence.

Wang Chong assigned them to the areas around his mother’s living quarters and tasked them to guard there 24 hours a day.

“Right, brother!”

After finishing the meal, little sister suddenly turned to Wang Chong and grinned mischievously:
