Chapter 215 - Returning to Archean Mountain at Night (1/2)

“Cultivation on the mountain is rather monotonous. He experiences a lot more when he’s not on the mountain. Perhaps it’s a more conducive environment for him to seek answers from his inner self,” said Qin Wu. “Therefore, he attained the third level much faster.”

Luo Tang nodded slightly. “You are right. It looks like he has a high chance of attaining a seventh-level Essence Soul in his life since he’s attained a third-level Essence Soul at the age of 36. If he can really attain a seventh-level Essence Soul, he can split his Essence Soul and guard several regions. He’ll be much more useful to humanity than a Supremacy. For instance, even though we are powerful, we are unable to split ourselves.”

Qin Wu smiled and said, “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. Him having a third-level Essence Soul is just a conjecture.”

“Regardless, he managed to kill a fourth Firmament demon monarch without being injured. There’s no doubt that he is as strong as a newly-advanced Marquis G.o.dfiend,” said Luo Tang. “He’s as fast as Regis G.o.dfiends. Qin Wu, you have to deploy such combat strength well. We’ve been short on manpower recently.”

“Yes.” Qin Wu fell deep in thought. “I have my plans.”

“He’s your disciple. You decide,” said Luo Tang with a smile.

…

Gu Mountain Prefecture City, the same evening.

Oh? Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue—who were both having dinner—sensed something. A stream of light flew into the hall from outside. Meng Chuan reached out to grab it and saw a small bamboo tube.

An avian demon monarch left the compound silently. Usually, avian demon monarchs were used to send letters. These controlled avian demon monarchs were the most loyal to humans. There could be traitors among G.o.dfiends, but these avian demon monarchs couldn’t betray humanity.

“Ah Chuan, what’s written on it?” asked Liu Qiyue.

“Master summoned me. I have to return to Archean Mountain immediately.” Meng Chuan pondered for a moment before pa.s.sing the secret letter in the bamboo tube to his wife. Liu Qiyue also carefully read the letter and nodded. “It should have something to do with you killing a fourth Firmament demon monarch today.”

“I originally planned to return to Archean Mountain anyway. I need to exchange the treasures I obtained from the demon monarch for credit,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. “I’ll be returning tonight. If everything goes well, I can return before dawn.”

“Why are you in such a hurry? Are you not using the bird?” Liu Qiyue asked.

“There’s no need. The bird is too slow,” said Meng Chuan.

Liu Qiyue laughed. “Only you would dare say that.”

Avian demon monarchs could fly directly towards their destinations. It wasn’t easy for Great Solar G.o.dfiends to leap over mountains. It usually took a Great Solar G.o.dfiend two to three times longer to arrive at their destination than when they rode an avian demon monarch.

However, Meng Chuan had the right to say that avian demon monarchs were too slow. He could cross the mountains he encountered in a single leap. To him, it was in no way different from traveling on flat land.

…

That night, Meng Chuan bade farewell to his wife. He concealed his lightning with the black baneful aura as he hurried off into the distant night sky.

From the Great Zhou Dynasty’s southeastern region to the center of the dynasty, he leaped over rivers and lakes. He crossed mountains as if they were door sills. In a single leap, he traversed over two kilometers. His speed was considered top-notch amongst Regis G.o.dfiends, making him much faster than third Firmament avian demon monarchs!

After traveling 5000 kilometers, Meng Chuan encountered demon monarchs attacking a village fort. Since he could sense auras within 2.5 kilometers with his Essence Soul perception domain, he also discovered two demon monarch lairs.

He killed seven third Firmament demon monarchs and 19 second Firmament demon monarchs. Even though he fought three times, he rushed from Gu Mountain Prefecture City to Archean Mountain in an hour.

His blood pumped vigorously as he traveled. Thankfully, his Diamond Body’s recovery speed was astonis.h.i.+ng. As he went up Archean Mountain, he restrained his churning blood and calmed down.

Swoosh.

When Meng Chuan arrived outside Grotto-Heaven Pavilion, he saw the old steward there. The old steward chuckled and said, “Lord Meng Chuan, you sure came quickly. Please follow me.”

Meng Chuan didn’t find it odd at all. G.o.dfiends guarding Archean Mountain had discovered his arrival as he scaled the mountain. His master probably knew about his arrival too.
