The rain continued to fall as Meng Chuan, and the other G.o.dfiends descended the mountain silently.
After seeing Senior Brother Qian Yu’s present appearance and the nine names that Archean Mountain Lord personally carved, everyone’s hearts felt heavy.
“Sigh.” A G.o.dfiend disciple couldn’t help but slam the boulder beside him, reducing a boulder— that was more than ten feet wide—to dust. He gritted his teeth and said, “How infuriating. I wish I was there. We could have killed those demon monarchs alongside each other!”
“If you aren’t strong enough, you will only be sending yourself to your death,” said a female G.o.dfiend disciple beside him coldly.
“One of me isn’t enough, but ten or twenty will be enough to turn the tables!” said the G.o.dfiend angrily. “My strength presently isn’t up to par, but it will be in the future. If I don’t have the guts, what’s the point of cultivating to become a G.o.dfiend?”
The female G.o.dfiend said coldly, “I just want you to calm down. You need to realize the difference in strength.”
“Stop arguing.” Meng Chuan said, “Cultivate well on the mountain. Once we are strong, we will be able to kill even more demon monarchs when we leave the mountain.”
The two G.o.dfiend disciples didn’t argue further after Meng Chuan spoke. Among the disciples who still remained on the mountain, Meng Chuan was the strongest. He was publicly acknowledged as the eldest senior brother. He had quite the prestige.
The disciples quickly scattered after they descended the mountain peak.
“Senior Brother Yan,” shouted Liu Qiyue, who was walking alongside Meng Chuan.
Yan Jin stopped in confusion.
“Senior Brother Yan, Ah Chuan, and I have something to tell you,” said Liu Qiyue.
“Oh? What’s the matter?” asked Yan Jin. He had been cultivating crazily on Archean Mountain, and he was rather anti-social. The people closest to him were Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue. After all, they came from Eastcalm Prefecture.
“Ah Chuan and I will be leaving the mountain this year,” said Liu Qiyue.
“So early?” Yan Jin was surprised.
Meng Chuan nodded as well. “That’s right. The two of us will break through to the Great Solar realm soon! When the time comes, we will clear the Nine Mystical Caves and descend the mountain.”
“Then, congratulations.” Yan Jin smiled. “I’ll take much longer than the two of you. I’m afraid I will take a few more years.”
“Once we clear the Nine Mystical Caves, we will set up a banquet and invite many good friends,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. He had many things he wanted to say to Yan Jin, but he decided against it.
They were from the same batch of disciples. Only Meng Chuan, Ji Yuantong, and Yan Jin successfully cultivated transcendent-grade G.o.dfiend bodies.
Ji Yuantong had vanished for three years before he reappeared on Archean Mountain. He no longer had his arrogance. Instead, he kept a low profile and was more humble. He would often smile at his fellow disciples. After five years on the mountain, Ji Yuantong attained Greater Mastery of the Great Strength Fiend Body. Then, he cleared the Life-and-Death juncture and became a G.o.dfiend!
Yan Jin was much more obstinate and crazy. He spent ten years on the Azure Lotus Divine Body. He was then forced to challenge the Life-and-Death juncture and become a G.o.dfiend. Back then, he had only attained Greater Mastery of the Azure Lotus Divine Body. He failed to perfect it.
It was fine. What worried Meng Chuan the most was that Yan Jin was focused on cultivating a Black Metal Sutra.
From the moment he came up the mountain, Yan Jin chose a Black Metal Sutra—Icefire Seven Absolutes. It was extremely difficult to cultivate a Black Metal Sutra without intent guidance. The only disciples remaining on the mountain that had mastered a transcendent-grade G.o.dfiend Body and a Black Metal Sutra move were Meng Chuan and Yan Chitong.
Yan Chitong had been specially invited up the mountain. He was a young genius who had comprehended Force at the age of thirteen. In terms of talent, he was not inferior to King Calm Sea’s fifth son. His cultivation was slightly slower than the fifth young master, Xue Feng. When he was 16, he perfected the Two World Divine Body and became a G.o.dfiend! Furthermore, he had also mastered a move of the Red Lotus Flaming Spear Art. He was recognized as a peerless genius who could match Meng Chuan and Xue Feng.
Yan Jin, on the other hand, was pitiful. He failed to perfect the Azure Lotus Divine Body after ten years.
The Icefire Seven Absolutes required one to comprehend two sword intents—Ice Sword Intent, and Fire Sword Intent. Then, he needed to combine the two sword intents into one. After eleven years on the mountain, Yan Jin had only comprehended the Ice Sword Intent! Therefore, he had failed to gain basic mastery of Sword Intent. He only managed to become an Indestructible G.o.dfiend by relying on the Ice Sword Intent.
With Yan Jin’s perception, his sword art realm would probably be much higher than it is now if he had chosen a Heaven-level G.o.dfiend legacy. Perhaps he would have already achieved Sword Soul. Meng Chuan sighed. He clearly can’t gain basic mastery of the Black Metal Sutra, but he insists on this path. At times, switching paths can lead to great success.
