Letter from my family? Meng Chuan took the letter and looked at it. It’s from Dad? Dad left two days ago. Why did he send a letter so soon?
He had a vague suspicion about what the letter was about. He didn’t read it immediately. Instead, he first took the pills, treasures, and the black book and returned to his cave abode.
Ever since he became an Archean Mountain disciple, he had been reading the books in the library the entire time. He hadn’t gone to his cave abode at all.
…
On Bright Scenic Peak, in a remote area, Meng Chuan sat alone on a large rock as he watched the vast sea of clouds floating past the mountain peaks. The peaks were perennially covered in snow.
Grandaunt has pa.s.sed away. Meng Chuan put away his father’s letter—it simply informed him about what happened.
On the morning of 23rd December, his father rushed back to Eastcalm Prefecture. He told his clansmen and Fairy Meng the news.
His grandaunt was already heavily injured. When the demons invaded, she had used all her strength. Her body had already been in a terrible state for half a year. However, because of her obsession, she persevered until she received news of Meng Chuan being admitted into Archean Mountain. Once she learned of this news, she felt relaxed and happy. Her obsession disappeared, and her body quickly collapsed.
That night—after his grandaunt gave the clansmen some final instructions—she pa.s.sed away with a smile.
There were two letters. One was from his father, and the other was from his grandaunt.
Meng Chuan gently unfolded his grandaunt’s letter.
“Meng Chuan, I’m very happy to know that you took first place in Archean Mountain’s entrance examination. I won’t be able to see you anymore. My pa.s.sing will happen tonight. Whatever I want to say will be written in this letter. Your future far exceeds mine. I can only give you some advice as a G.o.dfiend with eighty years of experience.
“First, rely on your comrades when you are on the battlefield. During life-and-death battles, one move from your comrades might save your life. Don’t be rash just because you are strong. “Second, always hide your killer moves. Even when killing enemies, try to keep them a secret. The demons are collecting intelligence on the G.o.dfiends. When all your secrets are exposed, you will be in danger. Do not tell a person anything about your best skills. Telling a second person will result in there being a third, tenth person, and more knowing about it.
“Although most human G.o.dfiends fight for humanity, there are still traitors. They will collude with the demons if there are certain benefits. Make sure not to expose too much of your skill. Keep your true strength secret.
“Thirdly, the stronger you are, the more confident you will be on the battlefield. However, never be too relaxed. Seize the opportunity to make yourself as strong as possible while you are on Archean Mountain. The stronger you are, the better! I have seen too many G.o.dfiends die. Remember, the stronger you are, the better.
“There’s no need to mourn me. I started life as someone insignificant. By the time I comprehended Force when I was 22, I didn’t even have the right to partic.i.p.ate in Archean Mountain’s entrance examination. I was just an outer sect disciple. After experiencing a close shave with death and with enough luck, I became a G.o.dfiend. My companions have often blocked the enemy for me, allowing me to live this day after eighty years as a G.o.dfiend.
“I led the declining Meng family to rise once again, making it one of the five G.o.dfiend family clans in Eastcalm Prefecture. I managed to see you enter Archean Mountain before I die. I really have no regrets.
“A G.o.dfiend’s path is very difficult. You have to tread carefully. If possible, kill more demon monarchs! Give me something to boast about to my old friends when I’m in the underworld.”
Meng Chuan felt pain as he read the letter. He knew his grandaunt had pa.s.sed away in gratification, but he felt terrible.
She had used the family’s savings and exchanged it for a drop of G.o.dfiend Jade Marrow Liquid. She had also transferred all the credits she had ama.s.sed over her eighty-year G.o.dfiend career so that he could cultivate faster in Archean Mountain.
She handed everything to him.
Grandaunt, I’ll lead our family well. Meng Chuan’s eyes were slightly red. He looked at the vast sea of clouds and softly said, “I’ll remember your three pieces of advice. Also, I’ll kill more demon monarchs. Grandaunt, rest in peace.”
Meng Chuan looked east. He seemed to see his hometown where his grandaunt had pa.s.sed away.
His grandaunt was gone! G.o.dfiend Meng Yan—who had spent her entire life protecting the human race—was dead! Compared to her companions, she was very lucky. She was able to return to her hometown and see a talented junior. She had her clansmen by her side when she died.
…
Meng Chuan continued to read books in the library for the next few days. Although he had already decided to cultivate the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body, he still read through the books about the Eon Sea Fiend Body, Wind Lightning Divine Body, Sanguine Divine Body, and other G.o.dfiend bodies.
After reading them, he headed for the Impartation Pavilion.
“Have you already made up your mind?” Elder Yi looked at Meng Chuan. “Once you make your choice, you can’t choose another G.o.dfiend body formula for three years.”
“Yes, I’m sure.” Meng Chuan nodded. “Lightning Devastator Fiend Body.” Even if he failed to cultivate the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body, he would choose the high-grade formula, Wind Lightning Divine Body. As for the Eon Sea Fiend Body, it was just not compatible with his style.
“Alright.” Elder Yi nodded slightly. With a wave of his hand, a black book flew down from the bookshelf beside him. Lightning swirled on the book’s surface, and black fumes churned. “This is the cultivation formula for the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body. Memorize it here. Hand it to me after you are done.”
Meng Chuan took the thick book and sat down cross-legged by the side. He flipped the book open. There were text and diagrams in the book. Lightning and baneful aura surrounded each page. As Meng Chuan immersed himself in reading, his consciousness sank into the book.
His surroundings blurred.
Soon, he saw a tall man with disheveled hair sitting in the lotus position. He was identical to the imposing man in the Lightning Devastator Saber fragment he had.
Thick baneful aura emanated from his body. The black fog billowed in all directions as lightning curled around his body.
He suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes met Meng Chuan’s, and large amounts of information surged into his mind.
It was a detailed instructional guide about cultivating the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body. It was identical to what the text and diagrams in the book described. However, many cultivation scenes were demonstrated by the man personally. Furthermore, they were deeply imprinted in Meng Chuan’s memory.
After a long while, Meng Chuan came back to reality.
“You must be done.” Elder Yi waved his hand and put away the thick book.
Meng Chuan couldn’t help but say, “This is only the basics of the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body. It only contains information about the Core Cloud, Indestructible, and Great Solar realms. There’s nothing beyond that.”
“This is the first volume of the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body formula. The information regarding the Darkstar realm and higher realms are in the second volume,” said Elder Yi with a smile.
