“I’m thinking of choosing the Lightning Divine Body,” Meng Chuan said. “Before I become a G.o.dfiend, I believe there’s nothing wrong with my choice. However, I don’t have the confidence to say whether choosing the Lightning Divine Body would be the best idea for when I become a G.o.dfiend. I’d like your guidance, Grandaunt.”

He was far-sighted. He couldn’t just think about immediate benefits—he still needed to think of the future.

“Oh?” Fairy Meng smiled. “Tell me, why did you choose the Lightning Divine Body?” Meng Dajiang was listening as well.

“I’m best at speed,” Meng Chuan said. “Right now, my movement technique and saber arts are the best when it comes to speed! As for the Lightning Divine Body, it’s the fastest amongst the 16 G.o.dfiend body foundations! I think cultivation should make up for weaknesses and amplify what’s already good! Thus, I chose the Lightning Divine Body. It’s to make my movement technique and saber arts even faster.”

“The fusion of strengths?” Fairy Meng’s eyes lit up as she nodded in approval. “Although you aren’t very old, you are absolutely correct. Mediocrity is taboo when it comes to cultivation. Being mediocre means you can’t kill the enemy. You will only be killed by the enemy.”

“Is the Lightning Divine Body suitable after becoming a G.o.dfiend?” pressed Meng Chuan.

Fairy Meng sighed. “After becoming a G.o.dfiend, the Lightning Divine Body will become even more terrifying. Its advantage is even more astonis.h.i.+ng than when you were a mortal. The body transforms into lightning, and the speed of lightning is excellent. The killer moves are also terrifying! Even if one can’t kill the enemy, one can easily escape. However, the Life-and-Death juncture to transition from mortal to G.o.dfiend has greater difficulty compared to ordinary G.o.dfiend bodies.”

“The Life-and-Death juncture is even harder?” Meng Chuan was puzzled.

“Lightning bolts will strike you when breaking through the Life-and-Death juncture. You will die if you can’t withstand them,” said Fairy Meng. “Therefore, you need a robust foundation to withstand them. The threshold for becoming a G.o.dfiend will also be higher. Of course, Archean Mountain will tell you what realm you need to reach to have complete confidence in becoming a G.o.dfiend.”

“I heard that in Archean Mountain, one has to have full confidence breaking through before they take the plunge. Of course, those who can enter Archean Mountain are extremely talented,” said Fairy Meng with a smile. “As for us who are lacking in talent, we typically take the gamble with a 60–70% chance. After all, if we drag on, we might only have a 40–50% chance as we age. It’s even possible for our success rate to drop to 20–30%. The success rate will just keep dropping.”

Physical body, Quintessential Energy, realm, mental fort.i.tude, and mental state…

Becoming a G.o.dfiend involved many aspects.

“Since I’ll still be very powerful after becoming a G.o.dfiend, then I’ll choose the Lightning Divine Body,” said Meng Chuan.

“Alright.” Fairy Meng nodded and said with a smile, “Even if you become a G.o.dfiend in the future, you will have a few types of Lightning G.o.dfiend bodies to choose from. These G.o.dfiend bodies also have their pros and cons. If you’ve sufficiently acc.u.mulated power, you can choose the stronger ones. If you haven’t acc.u.mulated enough strength, you can choose the weaker ones. That way, it will be easier to pa.s.s the Life-and-Death juncture.”

“Okay.” Meng Chuan nodded but did not say anything more. With his personality, he would naturally follow the strongest route.

Aim for the skies.

No matter what, he had to aim high. If he didn’t have the goal to become a powerful expert, how was he to become one?

…

Back at the Mirror Lake Meng Manor.

Meng Dajiang and Meng Chuan walked side by side.

“Chuan’er, when do you plan on breaking through?” Meng Dajiang asked.

“Tonight,” said Meng Chuan. “There’s no need to delay.”

“Come with me then.” Meng Dajiang led the way.

Although Meng Chuan was somewhat puzzled, he still followed his father to the residential building.

Boom! When they entered the building, Meng Dajiang pulled a mechanism under the bed. A tunnel immediately appeared.

“A tunnel?” Meng Chuan was surprised. He didn’t know that his father was hiding a secret chamber here all these years.

Constructing tunnels was actually very normal. For instance, the countryside forts had tunnels and chambers built on a large scale! Even if demons were to storm a fort, the clansmen would hide in the hundreds of tunnels deep beneath. They would pull down thick gates and secure themselves inside. The demons had to find a secret tunnel and pa.s.s through all kinds of traps to find the humans inside.

However, in the city, there were relatively fewer tunnels built.

Boom! Boom!

Within this tunnel, two other stone doors opened via a mechanism.

Then, he arrived at a secret chamber.

“Chuan’er, take a seat first,” said Meng Dajiang.

Meng Chuan sat down on a mat, puzzled. Meng Dajiang rummaged a densely-packed bookshelf for a particular book before flipping it open. Hidden inside the book was a wooden box.

Meng Dajiang held the wooden box and sat down cross-legged opposite Meng Chuan. He took out another jade box that he kept close to his chest.
