《Immortal Betgod》 Chapter 1 - Ling Changkong(Lit. Soaring in the Vast Sky) Chapter 1: Ling Changkong£¨Lit. Soaring in the Vast Sky£© Translator: Peng Jia, Mo Liping Proofreader: Liang Yaping, Peter Gong ¡°Sough¡ª- sough¡ª-¡± From a distance came a rustling sound¡­ A youngster in yellow was sweeping the fallen leaves placidly. He was Ling Changkong, a disciple of Qishan School. It was a little weird for an enlisted disciple to be raking leaves here. However, this was a commonplace to the lad. It was far superior to his previous life. He lost his parents since childhood, drifting, stranded, once almost frozen to death in the severe winter, and nearly starved to death in the midsummer. Had it not been for kind people¡¯s help, he simply would not survive now. Living a life of hardship, deprivation and hunger, he had managed to live to the age of five. He still remembered, when he was five years old, the whole country was famine-stricken at that time. Even the ordinary were underfed, let alone he was merely an anchorless orphan. For a living, he had to go deep into the remote mountains and woods to pick wild vegetables and dig tree roots for appeasing his hunger. It was then that he met a hungry tiger, and almost became its rations. But when the tiger was about to pounce on him, a streak of sword light fell from above and the tiger was slain. Then, a handsome young man with a long sword descended slowly and it was he who beheaded the tiger. From then on, Ling Changkong¡¯s fate began to change. Seeing the young man actually killed the tiger, Ling Changkong was very shocked. After he came to himself, Ling Changkong quickly ran and kowtowed to his savior. The man saw that he was comely and sensible, and had a good bone for cultivation, he was so glad that he brought Ling Changkong back to the sect. Ling Changkong later learned that the young man turned out to be a friar, and the lineage to which he belonged was one of the Ten Celestial Lineages of the states in the west¡ªQishan School. Since then he became a formal student of Qishan school. After joining Qishan School, Ling Changkong was found to have meridian occlusion by Presbyter of the sect. Ling simply could not practice any sort of martial arts or skills, unless there was incredible medicine for him to baptise the marrow, or he would be even inferior to peripheral disciples of the lowest level. But the elixir couldn¡¯t be found easily, even Qishan may not have access to it, and it would not give him an ordinary disciple to change his life even if it really had this kind of incredible medicine. Sheltering him was a great boon. Master Zhao Qian just gave him a Xuandan (It is a kind of magical pellet in Taoism), encouraged him, and helped him to break through into the first stage of friar. And that handsome young man also disregarded him, letting him run his own course. Although he knew that his meridians were blocked and could not practice, he did not give up. He had to practice austerities for three hours every day, which lasted for ten years. Now ten years had passed, and Ling had become more upright and comelier, but he was still at the first stage of friar, making no progress at all. Ten years of hard work seemed to be only a fragile dream. And in this decade, what he did was only such things as sweeping floor, chopping wood, fetching water and making a fire¡­. He did the work of a servant, but fortunately since he was accustomed to the harsh life as a vagabond, he did not harbor any complaint about it. It was okay for him to just do odds and ends, but his senior fellow brothers began to bully him. At first just enlisted disciples, later the peripheral, finally even the servants of Qishan also dared to tease him. In this world where the fist was the only currency Ling Changkong was only the first stage of friar and still could not be trained, so he was destined to be bullied. Fortunately, Qishan School had regulations: ¡°No private fighting and no killing¡±. There were also restrictions between those subordinates. And along with the incredible experiences, Ling Changkong managed to live in Qishan for ten years. Surely enough, Song Qing was not a person who would grin and bear it. Now he had to endure for lack of martial arts. But he believed that one day he could become stronger by practicing, and trample those who had toughly bullied him, which was one of the reasons for his persistent practice. He never gave up! This moment, Ling Changkong stopped cleaning the fallen leaves for a while. Around him, three lads who were about the same as his age, wearing yellow clothes as well, were Qishan disciples. ¡°My three senior fellow disciples, what can I do for you?¡± Ling Changkong naturally understood the three boys¡¯ intention, but he still bowed to them and asked respectfully. ¡°Hum! Ling Changkong, do you think you can avoid a good hiding by putting on such an affectation?¡± A head among the three people coldly snorted, looked at Ling disdainfully, and yelled. ¡°Liang Mingzhi, don¡¯t talk nonsense with this rubbish. These days I was ordered by Master to shut up and practice. I am itching to free myself.¡± Another teenager seemed to be impatient, clenching his fist and making a bang. ¡°Ok, Li Xuanming, let¡¯s stretch our muscles.¡± Upon hearing his companion¡¯s urging, Liang grinned. The three guys moved up to Ling Changkong. Some kicked him, and some punched him, beating him black and blue. To the move of three people, Ling Changkong seemed to have predicted early. He did not have a flinch, and threw the broom immediately with both hands holding his head, allowing to be punched and kicked by them. According to his past experience, in such a situation, he should crawl to the ground to protect his vital part. But now he was on a steep hill, much as it was broad, it would be terrible to fall down if he were not careful enough. Just because of this, facing Liang Mingzhi and the other people¡¯s airtight attack, Ling Changkong was just holding his head, allowing them to abreact. ¡°Boom!¡± Li Xuanming suddenly gave him a punch, a trace of cyan light flashing by his fist, and he could not help sobering down a little. However, he seemed not to notice that and aimed a punch at Ling Changkong¡¯s lower abdomen. Suffering this violent punch, Ling Changkong could not refrain from turning pale, being driven directly out, bumping into the big tree that three people can embrace, and until then he just stopped. The big tree shook several times, and leaves fell like rain! ¡°Poof!¡± Under the cover of fallen leaves, Ling Changkong¡¯s pale face suddenly blushed and he vomited a mouthful of blood, and his face became colorless. ¡°Li Xuanming, why did you use the power of Deities Realm?!¡± Liang Mingzhi, whose facial expression changed, shouted at Li Xuanming, ¡°If he died, we would be punished even if we would not be expelled.¡± ¡°Hey, brother Liang, I just broke through the Deities Realm, and I didn¡¯t control it well just now.¡± Li Xuanming smiled sheepishly, scratching his head and explaining to Liang. ¡±Now stop! Let¡¯s get out of here!¡± At this time, Liang Mingzhi was very anxious, having no mood to listen to Li Xuanming¡¯s explanation. He waved his hand to them, and then walked away in a hurry, just like a criminal running away from a crime scene. ¡°Remember, if there¡¯s something wrong with Ling Changkong and Master investigates this matter, we should unanimously say that we just play martial arts at the back of the mountain, and absolutely have not seen that guy. Do you all remember?¡± Liang Mingzhi told the other two people. ¡°I see.¡± ¡°Brother Liang, don¡¯t worry. We know how to do.¡± Hearing Liang Mingzhi¡¯s enjoining, the faces of the other two people brightened up at the moment. With a smile on their faces, the two men nodded in response, disappearing in a twinkling of an eye. Seeing the three leave, Ling Changkong did not stand up. He still nestled under the tree, with a sombre and uncertain look. As for the three people¡¯s words, Ling Changkong heard them clearly. Ling Changkong¡¯s eyes flickered. His right hand gripped the ground tightly and his fingers fell into the ground. He was filled with resentment. He thought angrily, ¡°Fortune knocks once at least at every man¡¯s gate. Someday I will rise to power and take vengeance. Don¡¯t think I am really afraid of you with a body of blocked meridian!¡± Chapter 2 - Blood Bead Purifying Marrow Chapter 2: Blood Bead Purifying Marrow Translator: Peng Jia Proofread by Liang Yaping Soon after, Ling Changkong got up quickly and flapped the fallen leaves and dirt off his body. ¡°This is the power of Deities Realm, and sure enough¡­ Ahem, it¡¯s really formidable!¡± Looking at where Li Xuanming and other two people left, Ling Changkong broke into a short cough with red face. He was obviously badly wounded. ¡°It seems that I need to go to that place again. I hope such a serious injury can also be cured.¡± With an obscure twinkle in his eyes, Ling Changkong muttered to himself. Then he covered his belly with one hand and grabbed his broom with the other, walking toward the mountain. No one knew where he was going. The mountain forest was so thick that it blocked the sun. He walked on. Suddenly, Ling Changkong¡¯s eyes lit up. In front of him was a limpid spring, whose water was calm and crystal clear. The spring flowing down from the mountain was accidentally discovered by Ling Changkong. At the beginning, he just came here to fetch water for a bath. However, by chance, he found that the spring could cure his wound, which made him treasure the water more. In the past ten years it was probably because of this spring, there was no residual effect on his body, although he suffered a lot from beatings. And his body even became stronger and stronger. Quickly walking over, Ling Changkong held up a handful of clear water, and splashed the water on his face. Then, he didn¡¯t care what was going to happen, and pulled off his clothes neatly. ¡°Plop.¡± Ling Changkong jumped into the spring. A warm current ran over the skin. It was the mysterious power contained in the spring. It was also because of the mysterious power that the spring could heal the injury. Ling Changkong still remembered that when he discovered the wonderful use of this spring, he also went to the upstream of the spring to have a look, but he got nothing. This mysterious power existed only here, not even at the source of the spring, as if it were born with heaven and earth. When Ling Changkong washed off the dirt on the body, the mysterious force also played a role in his body. The internal injury and congestion in his body were dissolved little by little. But because he was badly injured, there was no immediate effect as before. Ling Changkong was not in a hurry, either. After taking a bath, he sat cross-legged in the spring, making finger gestures during incantations, and began to practice. And after Ling Changkong began to practice, a scarlet bead began to vibrate violently in the depths of the spring, sending out a stream of blood into the spring, and then into Ling Changkong¡¯s body. So that was it. The reason that this spring could cure injury was because of this blood bead. For the abnormal movements of this blood bead, Ling Changkong did not know at all. He only felt that the power of Deities Realm that had been so resistant to him seemed to be less intense, and even one or two strands of it had entered his body. ¡°Hissing¡­ ¡± The power of Deities Realm flowed through his meridians. Although the meridians that were originally occlusive broke a crack, and they no longer shut the power of Deities Realm out as it used to, it was hard to avoid a sharp pain to allow the power of Deities Realm to operate in his meridians, which let Ling Changkong suck a cool breath. However, compared with ten years of grievance and suffering, what did this sharp pain matter?! Ling Changkong¡¯s heart was wild with joy. Seemingly seeing a glimmer of hope, he bit his teeth, forcing the operation of the power of Deities Realm. He had a feeling that success or failure depended on it, that if it did, he would soar to the sky; if it did not, he would crawl on the ground, as he had done before. Be a prostrate bum, nobodies? No, he wouldn¡¯t! Waves of pain hit him. His forehead was covered with soybean-sized cold sweat, but it could in no way shake Ling Changkong¡¯s firm figure. And as Ling Changkong practiced in pain, the pool of water also began to have changes, gradually becoming red as blood. ¡°Zip!¡± At this moment, the blood beads suddenly rushed out of the water, turning into a ray of blood, and exploded to Ling Changkong. ¡°Ah!¡± A ray of blood shot into the center of Ling Changkong¡¯s eyebrows. Ling Changkong¡¯s head suddenly burst into severe pain. The pain was more acute than that in the meridians, which let him screaming, and then he fainted. And at the same time, thousands of miles from Qishan School, there was a cave. A black man sitting cross-legged with his hands making finger gestures during incantations, was practicing the method of martial arts. ¡°Poof!¡± At this moment, the face of the man in black suddenly turned red. His eyes opened abruptly, which were bloodshot. He spat a mouthful of black blood and his body erupted in rage. However, afterwards his facial expression became serious. Again and again he made finger gestures during incantations and made mudra. On his body the power of Deities Realm fluctuated ceaselessly. At last, after a long time, he stifled his disordered breath and opened his eyes again. This time, without blood in the eyes, the man in black looked at the direction of the Qishan School thoughtfully, and said: ¡°The demoniac power is special and formidable. It is impossible for an old fellow like me to practice successfully on my own. It seems that I still need to go back to the Qishan School.¡± ¡°In order to get Fengyan Force, I betrayed Qishan School in those days, while that boy just entered Qishan School. Now ten years have passed, I don¡¯t know what happened to him. But with his constitution he should not be taken seriously. I should have no trouble getting him from Qishan School.¡± After saying that, regardless of the injury on the body, the man in black directly stood up, shook his body, and burst out in a flash of light. No one knew how long it had been. Ling Changkong finally came back to consciousness, waking up from a deep sleep. Suddenly, he felt refreshed and light. ¡°Eh? What¡¯s going on here?¡± Ling Changkong was surprised. He thought of something and said, ¡± Is it related to the inexplicable pain before?¡± Then Ling Changkong shook his clenched fist, and his eyes fluttered. ¡°How can I feel the power of Deities Realm did not resist me, but became friendly to me. Is it¡­ Try it!¡± Ling Changkong seemed to have thought of something, hurriedly crossed knees and sat. With his hands making finger gestures during incantations, he was immersed in a state of practice again. At this moment, the power of Deities Realm, like tide, poured into Ling Changkong¡¯s body, into the meridians, and then was refined and reaped in his belly, and became his own power. All of this was smooth and unimpeded. There was no previous blocking feeling, and no more pain came. ¡°It is true, is true. I can practice, I can practice at last, I am no longer a waste. ¡± Feeling all of this, Ling Changkong was so excited that his body was shaking and he was incoherent. Not making any progress for ten years, he was regarded as useless. Only Ling Changkong knew the pain. But, from now on, he could also practice the power of Deities Realm. He was no longer a waste! ¡°Liang Mingzhi, Li Xuanming, wait and see. Before that I could not practice, you bullied me and insulted me. Now I can practice as well as you. I am no longer the waste who bears bullying. Sooner or later, I will trample you under foot!¡± After a long time, Ling Changkong¡¯s excitement could not yet be calmed down. His hands were clenched tightly and his eyes fluttered. For ten years, he had endured the whole time, but now he finally saw the dawn. ¡°Dong! Dong! Dong! ¡­ ¡± Just then, from the direction of Qishan School¡¯s door, a peal of bells rang out. The sound of the bell was very rapid, as if it were hastening death. ¡°Oh, no! Why is the bell ringing at this hour? What¡¯s the matter? !¡± Hearing the bell, Ling Changkong¡¯s heart was abruptly shocked. For the sound of the bell, he was very familiar with, though it was only the second time he had heard it since he joined Qishan School. As for the first time¡­ When was it¡­? Yes, it was shortly after Ling Changkong joined Qishan School, when the elder Yu Zhencheng stole the secret books of the sect and turned away from the sect. Ling Changkong immediately went out of the spring, put on his clothes, and rushed to the direction of the door of Qishan School. But he did not realize that in the sea of his consciousness the bead of blood was now lying quietly. Chapter 3 - Enemy Pounce Chapter 3: Enemy Pounce Translator: Peng Jia Proofread by Liang Yaping At the gate of Qishan School, there was a huge crowd of people at this time. No matter whether they belonged to Friars Realm, Deities Realm or Kings Realm, as long as they were not in secluded practice, they all were here. And in front of all, Zhao Qian, the headman of Qishan School, stood with a sword. Opposite them, the man in black stood in the air. He was impressively the man who went mad in practice before, and he lived in the cave thousands of miles away from Qishan School. And now less than a quarter of an hour passed, and he should have appeared here again. His superb cultivation and appalling running speed were evident. ¡°Yu zhencheng, you old thief, dare to come back. Today I am gonna eliminate your evil flesh and cultivation, for the integrity of Qishan School.¡± Zhao Qian pointed his sword at the man in black with an angry face. He said savagely, and the breath of his body erupted, which was actually in a whiff of disorder. It can be felt that his hatred to the black man was enormous. ¡°This man should be¡­¡± Hearing the reproach of Zhao Qian, Ling Changkong was taken aback, looking at the black man in the air incredibly. Both he and others were surprised. Although most of them had seen Yu Zhencheng before, they could not recognize him at all. There were great changes in Yu zhencheng, in terms of his breath and appearance. Yu zhencheng was dressed in black, and his whole body was covered with black air. Although he concealed his face, the ugliness and sinister state of his face could be seen faintly. And there was no kindness which could be seen ten years ago. ¡°Haha, younger brother Zhao. Unexpectedly, you still remember your senior brother.¡± Yu Zhencheng did not care about the tension, looked up and laughed. ¡°Hum! I know a thief like you thoroughly who deceived his master, even if you turn to ashes.¡± Zhao Qian snorted and ordered: ¡°All the disciples listen to my orders. Embattle Tian Feng sword lineup, kill this renegade!¡± ¡°Yes, sir!¡± The friar in the Deities Realm and the Kings Realm all responded with a loud voice. Then their long swords came out of their sheaths, and they either flew into the air or wandered away, immediately forming a mysterious and powerful array of swords. ¡°Haha, why do you make such a fuss? It hurts our friendship. I come back this time, neither to fight with you for the position of power, nor to rob weapons. I just want a person. After getting this person, I would say nothing and turn my head away.¡± Seeing Zhao Qian embattled the sword lineup to kill him as soon as they met each other, Yu Zhencheng did not care at all. He laughed, saying to Zhao Qian with smile on his face. It didn¡¯t matter if he did not say so. But after hearing that, Zhao Qian became even angrier. ¡°What a thief! In the past you stole the top skills of Qishan School; now you should seem above board. It is impossible for you to get a dog from here, let alone a person.¡± Zhao Qian cursed in rage. Then he waved his hand and ordered again: ¡°Kill him!¡± ¡°Go, go!¡± Thousands of friars shouted almost at the same time. Then a flash of fire came out from the sharp swords in their hands. The flames gathered in some obscure and mysterious way, and then they shot at Yu Zhencheng. ¡°Hum! Do you want to refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit? Am I really afraid of you?! Feng Yan Force!¡± Seeing Zhao Qian resolutely attacked over, Yu Zhencheng snorted coldly. His whole body was ablaze with fire. He pressed against the void, and a phoenix of fire burst forth. ¡°Boom!¡± An earth-shattering blare came, causing the earth tremble and the mountains sway. The phoenix of fire thundered over many flames, quenching them all at once. Then, the spare power unexpectedly broke the Tian Feng sword lineup. Thousands of friars were blown away by the phoenix of fire. They were all defeated. ¡°Dear me! This is the power of Emperor Realm!¡± Ling Changkong reluctantly steadied himself on the shaking ground, looking at Yu Zhencheng in the air, who did not move at all with a sharp edge in his eyes. This was the power of Emperor Realm. He raised his hand and the world perished with thousands of men defeated! ¡°Zhao Qian, now I am not afraid of the Tian Feng sword lineup, for it seems ineffective to me. If you want to catch me, do it yourself. I can beat you with one move.¡± Yu Zhencheng waved his big sleeves. His eyes swept across the people in a chilly manner, resting on Zhao Qian. Yu Zhencheng called Zhao Qian directly by name instead of calling him brother. It is obvious that Yu Zhencheng declared the war. And he was arrogant to say that although Zhao Qian was also in the Emperor Realm, he could defeat Zhao Qian with one move. ¡°Okay, I would like to see how much progress you have made after secretly learning the Feng Yan Force.¡± Seeing Yu Zhencheng broke the Tian Feng sword lineup with one move, Zhao Qian could not help being fearful with his pupils contracted, but he recovered soon. Zhao Qian shook his body and his power broke out. Soaring to the sky, Zhao Qian reached the same height as Yu Zhencheng did, where he was exactly in front of Yu Zhencheng. The friar in the King Realm could barely soar into the air and only the friar in the Emperor Realm could fly in the sky. ¡°Go ahead, I¡¯ll let you go first.¡± Yu Zhencheng said contemptuously and glanced coldly at Zhao Qian. ¡°Go to hell! Feng Ming Force conquers the world!¡± Zhao Qian shouted in a low voice. Behind him came a shadow of fire phoenix, whose surrounding temperature exploded, which seemed like the dog¡¯s day. Zhao Qian pushed his hands and the shadow of fire phoenix shot at Yu Zhencheng. Whether Yu Zhencheng attempted to provoke or not, Zhao Qian did not dare to relax his vigilance. After all, when Yu Zhencheng betrayed Qishan School, he was just a little weaker than him. Now 10 years passed, Yu Zhencheng had succeeded in practicing the Feng Yan Force. It was absolutely not to be underestimated. So, Zhao Qian tried his utmost. ¡°Best move?! All right, I just get a skill recently. Let me practice it with you.¡± Although Yu Zhencheng said it relaxedly, he exerted all his strength. His palm was light, containing an obscure and mysterious smell. The mysterious black air that gathered in his palms wrapped his right hand completely in an instant. ¡°The smell¡­ ¡± Seeing this scene, all of the friars were in a fright. ¡°Is it¡­ ¡± Zhao Qian was scared, but he still rushed to Yu Zhencheng. He could in no way retreat now. ¡°Terrible!¡± The rest of the friars were seized with a sort of terror which they had never heard of and seen, but it was terrible at the first sight. ¡°Familiar!¡± Compared with the fear in the hearts of the people, Ling Changkong was familiar with it. It was inexplicable. ¡°Go to hell!¡± Yu Zhencheng spit a syllable, and the palm patted out. A huge black palm print was shooting at him. ¡°Boom!¡± A loud sound came, and the black palm seal smashed the shadow of fire phoenix. The residual force directly blew Zhao Qian away. ¡°Actually¡­ It was demoniac power. He should get a work of demoniac power. ¡± Zhao Qian flew back to the gate, staggering and going back a few steps. He could not stand steady until someone supported him. An incredible look emerged on the face of Zhao Qian when he saw Yu Zhencheng in the sky. It¡¯s not that there were no friars of evil in the world, but only a few in the western states. However, there¡¯s no denying that the friar of evil was stronger than the ordinary friar. Yu zhencheng not only had practiced the Feng Yan Force, but also had been a friar of evil. Zhao Qian believed that he would fail if the war was going on. It was a threat to the whole Qishan School, even to his life. When he was thinking of this, his eyes flickered. But Zhao Qian did not know that Yu Zhencheng did not feel well after using the demoniac power. He had been possessed by the Devil and he came here, although the injury did not heal. He broke the Tian Feng sword lineup at first. Then, he fought against Zhao Qian. The power in his body had been restless, and his complexion was also changing again and again. It took him a long time to suppress it. That¡¯s why he didn¡¯t follow up. ¡°It¡¯s getting worse and worse. It doesn¡¯t look like it can go on any longer.¡± Yu Zhencheng thought to himself. His eyes were still chill. Looking at Zhao Qian, he said: ¡°I just want to take away a person. And it is harmless to accept him as a disciple. Why you disagree?¡± ¡°Hum! No one knows what you are thinking about. I would say it again, that it is impossible for you to get a dog from here, let alone a person¡±. He snorted bitterly. Although Zhao Qian gasped, his tone still seemed as tough as ever. ¡°Okay, very good. Since you do not agree, today I will slaughter the whole Qishan School to take that person away. I would like to see what you can do.¡± Seeing Zhao Qian was so stubborn, Yu Zhencheng was too angry to restrain laughing. Zhao Qian¡¯s face suddenly became gloomy. He started to hesitate. One person, one School, which was more important? The others also looked frightened. Was it a doomed day when the master could not cope with Yu Zhencheng? ¡°Uncle, can you tell me who you want?¡± At this moment, a clear and cold voice spread, which let Ling Changkong¡¯s and others¡¯ heart jump. They turned their heads and saw a teenager in white. Chapter 4 - Taking in the Disciple? Chapter 4: Taking in the Disciple? Translator: Mo Liping Proofread by Liang Yaping ¡°Gu Wuyan, shut up!¡± Seeing the lad dressed in white, Zhao Qian became abruptly severe, and scolded him. He had said that he would not let Yu Zhengcheng take away anyone. However, his favorite disciple asked who the man wanted. Well, the lad in white was Gu Wuyan, the close disciple of Zhao Qian. ¡°Master, you might as well give him a disciple rather than get Qishan into trouble. Which is of more significance, Master, you are also supposed to know?¡± Gu Wuyan bowed to Zhao Qian respectfully and said in a reasonable fashion. Zhao Qian was silent for a moment and said, ¡°As long as that person is willing, you can take him away. But next time, I will kill you.¡± He finally nodded and agreed. At this moment, when Zhao Qian agreed, everyone was nervous. Although Yu Zhengcheng asked for a person whom he would take in as a disciple, looking at his posture, no one could see any slightest meaning of his accepting a disciple! If anyone went with him, he would lose his life for sure! ¡°That¡¯s you, boy. Are you willing to learn from me? I will teach you the ancient almighty power.¡± Seeing Zhao Qian nodded, Yu Zhengcheng smiled with satisfaction, and then his hand moved, pointing at Ling Changkong, and asked. But there wasn¡¯t any slightest meaning of asking. ¡°It¡¯s him, the loser.¡± When Yu Zhengcheng actually chose Ling Changkong, all breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought it strange that that guy was just a waste, and why did Yu Zhengcheng make a fuss to do so? ¡°Me?¡± Feeling the same as other people, Ling Changkong was also puzzled. Except for his endurance, it seemed that there was nothing worthy of attention from such a strong person like Yu Zhencheng! ¡°Yes, it is you, would you like?¡± Yu Zhencheng still pointed to Ling Changkong. He seemed to be out to get Lingchangkong. ¡°Changkong, it is entirely your own will. You don¡¯t have to care about the others. But if you don¡¯t want to, let me know. Although my strength is not strong, I can protect my disciples at least.¡± At this time, Zhao Qian said to Ling Changkong, and unexpectedly began to shield Ling Changkong. ¡°Don¡¯t agree, don¡¯t agree¡­¡± ¡°Say Yes, say yes¡­¡± Compared with Zhao Qian, everyone else hoped that Ling Changkong would agree quickly, so that they would be fine. It is better that a waste dies rather than let them die. Ling Changkong did not know what others thought of, but after he heard Zhao Qian¡¯s words, his heart could not help but feel moved. He lost his parents from childhood and was taken over by Qishan School. But even in Qishan School, he was bullied. He knew that only Zhao Qian could treat him like this. But how could he make Zhao Qian seriously injured or even decay? And it would also make the entire Qishan suffer a disaster! Ling Changkong took a step unconsciously. People¡¯s hearts beat extremely fast: he was about to make a decision! At this time, Zhao Qian¡¯s body was overwhelmed by the power of Deities Realm, and his robe was swollen without wind. It seemed that he had already prepared to perish together with Yu Zhencheng if Ling Changkong disagreed. ¡°I agreed.¡± He siad two simple words and all people became suddenly silent. He agreed, he agreed! At this point, all Qishan disciples cheered up in the heart, fort heir lives were saved! Zhao Qian also looked at Ling Changkong incredulously, and the light in his eyes flashed imperceptibly. He said to Ling Changkong, ¡°Ling Changkong, you must think twice. With the villain¡¯s temper, it is a narrow escape. Now it is still time to regret. As long as you want, I will do my best to protect you.¡± ¡°Thank you for your kindness, my master. Yu Zhengcheng is to accept me as an apprentice, so how would he hurt me?¡± At this time, Zhao Qian was still persuading him, and Ling Changkong was touched. But he still acted like he did not care and bowed to Zhao Qian, saying. The parting gift of thanks should be solemn! Hearing Ling Changkong¡¯s words, Liang Mingzhi and others suddenly despised him with contempt: ¡°Ha ha, the toad still wants to eat a swan¡¯s meat. When the time comes, you won¡¯t know how do you die!¡± Zhao Qian was moved, and even felt a little fortunate. Other people may not know Ling Changkong¡¯s mind, but how can he fail to know his? In the the decade, although he did not appear, he had been paying attention to every move of Qishan. Naturally, he also knew Ling Changkong was bullied by other disciplines. But now facing a man like YuZhencheng , even he could not be sure to win the victory. It was better to sacrifice Ling Changkong rather than let the entire Qishan School suffer a great loss. And for this, Zhao Qian just persuaded Ling Changkong, and did not really take a material action. A waste, not worth it! ¡°Ha ha, in that case, go with me.¡± Yu Zhengcheng did not care about what Zhao Qian thought. He saw Ling Changkong agreed, and seemed to think that he was really about to accept him as a disciple. He could not help but feel exulted, and laughed. He rolled his big sleeve, and Ling Changkong was rolled to his side, then his figure trembled a little. The power of Deities Realm erupted, carrying Ling Changkong and breaking away into the air. Looking at Yu Zhengcheng with a strong posture, who directly took away Ling Changkong, Zhao Qian¡¯s face could not help but blush. Anyway, Ling Changkong was his disciple. And even under his eyes, he was so easily taken away? ! Now Zhao Qianwas very contradictory. He wanted to keep a face, but did not want to take a risk again. ¡°Gone at last!¡± Compared with Zhao Qian who experienced mixed feelings, others breathed a sigh of relief, patted their chests, and whispered, as if to comfort their own weak hearts. ¡°Gone? It is good? If our strength still stays like this a day, we will be bullied by others a day. Yu Zhengcheng is a threat to us, and the other Munekados are, too. You think Yu Zhengcheng has left, so we are safe? !¡± Zhao Qian was angry at that time. When he heard someone comforting themselves, he was even more annoyed. He turned around and shouted angrily, making all the disciples keep silent. Even when Gu Wuyan heard Zhao Qian scold, he looked down in silence. The light in his eyes twinkled. What Zhao Qian said was not without reason. ¡°You go back to practice quickly. Only through improving your own cultivation, and enhancing your own strength, you will not be bullied by others.¡± Zhao Qian scolded again, and wished eagerly iron could turn to steel. ¡°Yes.¡± The disciples hastened to answer, and then dispersed to practice. Ling Changkong might not know that just because he was taken away by Yu Zhengcheng, Qishan School actually set off a practice frenzy. What would he think of it if he knew it£¿ Ling Changkong at this time followed behind Yu Zhencheng and was flying into the sky. Looking at the fleeting cloud, he felt excited, nervous, confused ¡­ Feeling a lot! ¡°Well, where are you taking me?¡± Then turning his head, Ling Changkong asked loudly to Yu Zhengcheng. ¡°You¡¯ll know when you get there.¡± Yu Zhengcheng replied coldly. Then there was silence except for the sound of whistling air. Chapter 5 - Conjecture Chapter 5: Conjecture Translator: Mo Liping Proofread by Liang Yaping ¡°Whew!¡± In the distance of thousands of miles away from Qishan shot a bright light from the sky. Soon after,the flash stopped abruptly. ¡°Right here.¡± The light descended directly from the air, and then the light weakened and there appeared two figures¡ªit was Yu Zhencheng and Ling Changkong. Ling Changkong got out of the control of Yu Zhencheng as soon as he landed. He looked around, frowning slightly, and asked Yu Zhencheng, ¡°Senior, where is this place?¡± At this time, they were in front of a hill, which was beautiful but a bit desolate. Ling Changkong could not understand why Yu Zhencheng brought him here. Of course, he did not think that Yu Zhencheng would kill him, but he was sure that what Yu Zhencheng was going to do would not benefit him. So he had better figure it out first and be vigilant. ¡°Senior? Are you still calling me ¡®senior¡®?¡± Yu Zhencheng did not answer Ling Changkong, but frowned slightly and his cold eyes swept across Ling Changkong and it seemed to see through him. Hearing what Yu Zhencheng asked, Ling Changkong¡¯s heart was filled with a burst of doubt. How could he not figure the meaning of Yu Zhencheng¡¯s words? Whether Yu Zhencheng was sincere in taking him as his disciple or not was very doubtful! Since it was not sincere, now thousands of miles far away from Qishan, why did Yu Zhenchen still continue to act? Ling Changkong was very confused. However, for all that, he absolutely would not expose. He immediately made a suddenly enlightened appearance, bowed to Yu Zhencheng with respect,and said, ¡°Ah, I was so impolite. Meet my Master.¡± As if he had only just remembered it. ¡°For the first time, I do not blame you. Do not do it again!¡± Seeing Ling Changkong for a while, Yu Zhencheng finally drew back his sight, waved his hand,and said, ¡°You asked where is it, right?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Ling Changkong nodded slightly with respect. After saying that, Yu Zhencheng began to make finger gestures with his hands during incantations and made mudra. When mudra was made,he waved his big sleeves towards the hill and beat the incantations out. ¡°Hum.¡± The space around the hill rose and fell in waves, and soon the hill vanished into the air, to be replaced by a lofty and beautiful peak. ¡°Magic array?!¡± Seeing this scene, Ling Changkong was surprised. He had seen sword array, even some simple arrays. It was the first time to see the magic array. Although the magic array and the sword array were both special types of arrays, they were far more complex and powerful than the arrays of the same rank. ¡°Merely a magic array, there is nothing amazing. As long as you work hard enough, and break through to Emperor Realm, you can also create a magic array just with your hands like me.¡± Compared with Ling Changkong¡¯s surprise, Yu Zhencheng did not care, smiled faintly, and said to Ling Changkong. He seemed to have taken Ling Changkong as his disciple, and began to teach him. ¡°Let¡¯s go in.¡± Yu Zhencheng said so, and walked straight toward the beautiful peak.His pace seemed to be a little unsteady, but it was very fast, making it unclear. Ling Changkong dared not to be careless. He knew Yu Zhencheng could easily pinch him to death, so he did not attempt to escape, but closely followed behind Yu Zhencheng and walked inside. ¡°What is the purpose of Yu Zhencheng? I clearly feel his intention to kill me, but he deliberately hides it. He is clear that he has no intention to take in disciples, but accepts me persistently.¡± When entering the beautiful peak, Ling Changkong thought secretly, looked around at the same time,and memorized the environment, which might be useful to him in the future. In an instant, Ling Changkong followed Yu Zhencheng and came to a cliff. ¡°My cave is up there.¡± Yu Zhencheng looked up at the cliff. It seemed to be talking to himself, or to explain something to Ling Changkong. Ling Changkong looked up, and the sun light reflected. He could not help but narrow his eyes. But this side of the cliff was very smooth, and there was not a hole, not to mention a cave-dwelling. ¡°Go up.¡± When Ling Changkong was puzzled, he suddenly felt that he was pushed by a huge power. He was shot to the top of the peak instantly. ¡°It is Yu Zhencheng, terrible, who is about to hit the cliff!¡± It was just a moment when Ling Changkong realized only Yu Zhencheng had such strength that could push him up. Of course, only Yu Zhencheng would do so. But when he was more and more close to the cliff, his pupils contracted naturally. Hurriedly,he protected his head with both arms. ¡°Bang.¡± Ling Changkong didn¡¯t hit the cliff. Instead, he fell on the cliff and sprawled on his belly. ¡°Huh? I didn¡¯t hit the cliff. It is a hidden but beautiful spot. What I saw was also a magic array.¡± Thinking of this, Ling Changkong collected himself. He got up quickly and looked around. A dark passage led to an unknown depth. ¡°Ha ha, quick reaction. But looking at your posture of covering head, you should have been beaten in Qishan. But only a waste, who will pay attention to him? Who will not bully him?¡± Yu Zhencheng¡¯s voice came again, and he had come to the side of Ling Changkong,with eyes glistening, coaxing Ling Changkong . ¡°But if you learn from me, it will be completely different. Not only I teach you the method of martial arts you can practice, but also help you to break through to the Emperor Realm. You will never be bullied by others.¡± Sure enough, hearing what Yu Zhencheng said, Ling Changkong¡¯s look turned solemn. He seemed to remember that he was used to be bullied by Liang Mingzhi and others. But instantly he turned bright, excited, and seemed to really believe Yu Zhencheng¡¯s words. ¡°Thanks, Master.¡± Ling Changkong saluted to Yu Zhencheng with respect. ¡°Uh, well, we first go back to the cave. I will teach you the method of martial arts to help you open the road of cultivation as soon as possible.¡± Seeing Ling Changkong so behaved,Yu Zhencheng nodded with satisfaction,waved his big sleeves, and said with a little excitement. He seemed keen to do so. ¡°Damn!¡± Yu Zhencheng might not have noticed something abnormal, but Ling Changkong noticed it. His eyes flickered. He thought that Yu Zhencheng divided his relationship with Qishan School, and threw a huge temptation, and completed a good show for camouflage. Expectedly, Yu Zhencheng betrayed himself in the heat of the moment. ¡°It is false the old geezer accepts me as his disciple, but it may be true that he wants me to practice that method of martial art. Otherwise, with his strength of Emperor Realm, why should he pretend to do so.¡± Following Yu Zhencheng to the depths of the cave, Ling Changkong eyes flickered, and he secretly thought, ¡°He should have hardly waited so that he got to Qishan to grab people. And therefore, he had betrayed himself just now.¡± Later, Ling Changkong was curious: ¡°But what martial art it is that makes Yu Zhencheng do so? What is special about this method? He even asked me to practice¡­¡± Then he began to worry: ¡°Will it do me harm¡­ Well, this should not be. The method should be conducive to the friar. As for its harm, only after the achievement of the method, Yu Zhencheng would ask me to bear.¡± ¡°Anyway, now my strength is not comparable to Yu Zhencheng¡¯s. I even have no chance to escape.I should practice this method first and wait for the opportunity¡­ ¡± So thinking and hoping, Ling Changkong followed Yu Zhencheng and finally came to the deepest part of the path. Chapter 6 - Practicing the Almighty Incantation Chapter 6: Practicing the Almighty Incantation Translator: Mo Liping Proofread by Liang Yaping At this time, Ling Changkong and Yu Zhencheng stood in front of a stone gate. Behind this stone gate, it should be the real cave-dwelling. ¡°Open!¡± Yu Zhencheng groaned and made a finger gesture, and he beat the power of Deities Realm into the stone gate. The stone gate suddenly flickered and opened with a rumbling sound. As expected, it was a hidden but gorgeous spot. There was a great hall surrounded by stone walls inlaid with night pearls, lighting up the whole hall, as if it were the daytime. A sort of opalescent power of Deities Realm was visible and refreshing, and definitely it was a blessed land for practice. Therefore, he simply believed that there was no place with power of Deities Realm more abundant than here in Qishan. ¡°This is where the Emperor power stays!¡± Looking at the inside, Ling Changkong was amazed and secretly sighed: ¡°Even in the most central place of Qihan, the power of Deities Realm is not as abundant as here.¡± He was merely the lowest disciple before. In Qishan School, the strongest power of Deities Realm he could find was just in the central hall. ¡°Go in, here is the place where you will practice.¡± Yu Zhencheng said with a cold tone, and then he walked to the inside. Hearing what he said, Ling Changkong did not have a touch of joy, but a shudder from his heart. The power of Deities Realm here was very abundant, but how could he forget the huge crisis lurking around him? ! Suddenly the power of Deities Realm swarmed when Ling Changkong entered the hall. His pores were open, greedily absorbing the power of Deities Realm. He noticed this scene, and there was a burst of surprise in Ling Changkong¡¯s heart. He did not practice the power then, but could do that. So was this the difference between meridian unlocking and meridian occlusion? It was amazing! However, he did not know, maybe in this world there was only one person who could be so abnormal. Though Ling Changkong absorbed the power of Deities Realm on his own,Yu Zhencheng did not notice it. He gave a glimpse at Ling Changkong, then regained his gaze and said to Ling Changkong: ¡°Follow me. I will show you around.¡± Yu Zhencheng strolled forward with hands at his back. Ling Changkong did not dare to oppose. Cautiously, he followed behind Yu Zhencheng. ¡°Here is the practice room where I cultivate.¡± ¡°Here is the elixir room where I refine and place the elixirs. ¡°Here is the spell room, which contains the incantations I have collected over these years.¡± ¡°Here is¡­¡± Yu Zhencheng introduced them to Ling Changkong one by one, and did not evade anything. It seemed that he really took Ling Changkong as his own disciple, and he introduced the entire cave at a stretch. ¡°This is your room, and let¡¯s go in.¡± Finally, Yu Zhencheng stopped in front of a vacant stone room and said to Ling Changkong. Waving his large sleeve, the stone room opened and he walked in straight away. Ling Changkong also followed in, looking at it curiously. The room was furnished simply. One table, one chair, one bed and one futon. Here was the place he would live in. Ling Changkong understood that he would never be ill-treated before Yu Zhencheng revealed his purpose. But it was too austere. He didn¡¯t know, even if it was Yu Zhencheng¡¯s own room, it would be just like this. The friars were to chase the avenue of cultivation and eternal life. How could they covet pleasure? ! From this point, the path of Ling Changkong was destined to be different from that of those who were hidden in the world, only for the avenue of cultivation. ¡°Now relax yourself and I will impart you the incantations.¡± Yu Zhencheng said, even the ceremony for accepting disciple was not done. It was too hasty. ¡°Yes.¡± However, for this, Ling Changkong did not feel surprised at all. Yu Zhencheng did not really accept him as one disciple. Even if he was willing to worship this master, Yu Zhencheng would not accept it. At the moment, he converged his attention and completely relaxed his body. Ling Changkong knew that if Zhen Zhencheng wanted to kill him, it was easy for him to do that. It definitely wasn¡¯t worth the trouble. So he did what Yu Zhencheng said. ¡°Whew!¡± Yu Zhencheng made a finger gesture during incantations with his eyes flickering. The light in his eyes shot to the eyebrows of Ling Changkong. Ling Changkong¡¯s brain could not help feeling painful for a while, and there was something in his mind. ¡°This is the most powerful incantation, the almighty incantation. I got it by chance. Now I teach it to you.You must try your best. Do not let me down.¡± Yu Zhencheng said. ¡°Thank you, master. I will not live up to your expectations.¡± When he heard Yu Zhencheng¡¯s words, Ling Changkong pretended to be happy, but he sneered silently again and again: ¡°This may be the purpose of Zhen Zhencheng. I am afraid the day when I practice it successfully is the day I die.¡± ¡°Well, familiarize youself with this almighty incantation first. I have something to do. I have to go.¡± Yu Zhencheng did not know what Ling Changkong thought about. Seeing him in that way, he was satisfied with a smile, and then he hurriedly left. It seemed that he really had something to do. After Yu Zhencheng left, Ling Changkong did not practice immediately, but checked the room thoroughly. When he made sure Yu Zhencheng did not plan any scheme or inhibition, he was relieved. Ling Changkong came to the futon and sat cross-legged. ¡°This geezer, what on earth is he teaching me the almighty incantation for? Does he want me to be so abnormal like him?¡± It made Ling Changkong puzzled. ¡°Forget it, take a look at this almighty incantation. If there is something wrong with it, I can give up. No matter what, I should not practice for Yu Zhencheng.¡± Ling Changkong could not figure out where the problem was, and stopped thinking about it. Then, he calmed down and went to see what the almighty incantation was like. After all, as long as he practiced to a certain extent, all problems would be solved. Surely enough, he must have the ability to solve problems easily. Be serene and focused. An incantation appeared before Ling Changkong immediately. It is exactly what Yu Zhencheng said, the supreme almighty incantation. Ling Changkong read it line by line. ¡°The first, corresponding to the realm of the Friars Realm, practicing the power of the magic, gradually changes the meridians, so that the meridians adapt to the power of the magic.¡± ¡°The second, corresponding to the Deities Realm, practicing the power of the magic, strengthens the flesh, overwhelms the mighty weight, and becomes the friar.¡± ¡°The third, corresponding to the Kings Realm, practicing the power of the magic, produces the devil image, ever-changing.¡± ¡°The fourth, corresponding to the Emperor Realm, practicing the power of the magic, refines the devil image, incarnates the devil, and kills thousands of people.¡± ¡°But after the fourth or fifth level, it is unknown whether it¡¯s really there, or it¡¯s being hidden by Yu Zhencheng.¡± ¡°It¡¯s so powerful! No wonder Yu Zhencheng, who practiced the almighty incantation, could defeat the master easily and overwhelmingly!¡± After reading the almighty incantation, Ling Changkong let out a surprised gasp. With his experience and cultivation, he naturally could not see what was wrong with the almighty incantation. But he could still feel the power of it and would like to try it. But then he frowned slightly and muttered: ¡°There should be no problem?¡± He was not sure. ¡°Oh, if there is really no problem, you just practice it. Even you don¡¯t know how to die when you die.¡± At this time, a sneer came and let Ling Changkong shudder: ¡°Who? Who? Come out! Don¡¯t hide!¡± Chapter 7 - The Blood Drop Chapter 7: The Blood Drop Translator: Mo Liping Proofread by Liang Yaping ¡°Oh, hide, hide? I need to hide?¡± The sneer came again. Ling Changkong heard more clearly. It was from his mind and he was even more shocked. ¡°Who are you? How come to my body? Come out!¡± The less consciousness was running wildly, searching through the whole body, and suddenly settled in the sea of consciousness in which a blood bead was quietly suspended, which was exactly the source of that voice. ¡°Oh, I didn¡¯t expect you to find me, good!¡± For that Ling Changkong found his existence. The ¡°Blood Bead¡± did not feel panic, and said: ¡°But do you treat your benefactor like this?¡± ¡°Benefactor?¡± Ling Changkong was slightly surprised. It seemed that he did not owe him anything. ¡°I dredged your meridians and transformed your physique, have you forgotten? Even if you forgot, I just reminded you that you should remember?¡± The voice passed again, and Ling Changkong was shocked. It made it clear that the previous meridians dredged suddenly, became unimpeded and even could be cultivated all because of him In this way, no matter what was the blood drop for, the blood bead did do him a favor. ¡°I have been offended, but please don¡¯t blame me. But why are you in his sea of consciousness?¡± Ling Changkon apologized first, and then asked the ¡°blood bead¡± with a cold tone. He still did not know what was the purpose of the blood bead. ¡°I just temporarily stay in your body.¡± A random voice came from the blood bead, but then the ¡°blood bead¡± seemed to see the concern of Ling Changkong, adding: ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry. I won¡¯t do you harm. Not to mention, in my current situation, it is impossible to hurt you.¡± Ling Changkong felt slightly relieved, but did not believe it in all. He continued to ask: ¡°Are you really the blood bead? It is really strange that a blood bead can actually demonize.¡± ¡°Bah! You are the blood bead. You are demonized.¡± Unexpectedly, when the blood bead heard Ling Changkong¡¯s words, he was so angry and said: ¡°I am a friar, a fairy. But I was just sealed in this blood bead temporarily. Blind fool!¡± ¡°Duh! You think I was born yesterday? Are there fairies in this world? Who believe?!¡± For the words of the blood bead, Ling Changkong was not convinced. Fairy? Joke! ¡°I really mean what I said. What do you know of a boy who has no knowledge?!You are as blind as a bat!¡± The blood bead roared: ¡°When I rode the whirlwind, you were still in the womb!¡± ¡°Well, okay, you are a fairy, yes? But who are you? Why are you sealed here?¡± Ling Changkong did not pursue it, and continued to ask. ¡°Well¡­ this is a long time. My soul is gradually passing away, and my memory is incomplete. I can¡¯t remember it.¡± The man seemed to sign, and so said. ¡°What is your name? You should remember this? No name, what do I call you.¡± Ling Changkong¡¯s face fell. Ling Changkong encountered a freak who even forgot why he was sealed. ¡°Uh¡­ I don¡¯t remember. You can call me blood drop. I vaguely remember that I was sealed more or less for the sake of this ¡®blood drop¡¯.¡± The blood drop thought for a while, and gained nothing, finally saying to Ling Changkong. ¡°Well, I call you blood drop.¡± Ling Changkong¡¯s face was even severer. It turned out to be a patient with profound amnesia. ¡°Blood drop, just now you said that if I practice this almighty incantation, I won¡¯t even know how to die. What¡¯s the matter? How do you know it? Don¡¯t you lose your memory?¡± In the end, Ling Changkong just understood that he had an amnesiac in his body, and nothing else was gained. However, it seemed that this blood drop really would not hurt him. Ling Changkong was relieved and got down to ask the blood drop. ¡°Of course I know it. Although my memory is incomplete, I can see the flaws of this low incantation at a glance.¡± When the blood drop heard Ling Changkong¡¯s question, it said proudly. It seemed that the blood drop was floating in the clouds and despising the world. But this was quite different from the situation in which he was now¡ªsealed in the blood bead. ¡°Uh, is there any flaw in this practice?¡± When the blood drop described this almighty incantation as low-level one, Ling Changkong was stunned, but that was Ok. Making clear the flaws was the most important. ¡°This incantation has not been modified, but there is a flaw. It is not complete.¡± The blood drop continued to say proudly. ¡°Uh, it is not complete originally.¡± ¡°You found it out.¡± ¡°Well, there are only four almighty incantations at present, obviously there should be more¡­ if it can¡¯t be seen¡­¡± ¡°Stupid! What I say ¡®not complete¡¯ does not mean the incomplete text, but the part of your practice, which is not complete itself!¡± The blood drop directly interrupted the words of Ling Changkong and said: ¡°In my opinion, this practice of the almighty incantation should be divided into two parts, just like Yin and Yang. You practice one part, and Yu Zhencheng practices the other. Until you practice to a certain extent, he will swallow you up. This is called the tripod stove.¡± ¡°Tripod stove?!¡± Ling Changkong shuddered. Although he did not know the meaning of the word ¡°tripod stove¡±, he got a general understanding of it. Maybe Yu Zhencheng attempted to confine him, and then would swallow him up at the right time. ¡°Well, but you don¡¯t have to worry. He will not only hurt you, but also protect you before you grow up.¡± The blood drop took it lightly. ¡°Now he doesn¡¯t hurt me, but he will do it in the future. Blood drop, since you have seen the flaw, you must have a way to crack it!¡± Ling Changkong was anxious. He was not willing to be capped by YuZhencheng. Not only could Yu Zhencheng hold his life but also eat him at any time. ¡°There are two ways. The first is that you practice higher than your opponent. Not only will you not be swallowed by your opponent, but you may swallow him as well. But Yu Zhencheng must have been watching you all the time. You will not have this opportunity.¡± The blood drop was silent for a moment, and then said: ¡°The second is to modify the incantation, or to have a peculiar body. Either way, it is possible that Yu Zhencheng goes wrong and his cultivation is impaired or even terrible when devouring you. In this way, not only will you not be swallowed by Yu Zhencheng, but you may swallow him as well.¡± ¡°It is impossible to practice the almighty incantation higher than Yu Zhencheng. Blood drop, aren¡¯t you a fairy? You should be able to modify the almighty incantation!¡± His eyes were flashing, and his face was gloomy, and for a moment, Ling Changkong asked the blood drop. Now he pinned all his hopes on the blood drop. ¡°Oh, this, if it is during my heyday, maybe I can. But now I am sealed here, and the memory is broken. It is impossible to modify it.¡± The blood drop seemed a little embarrassed. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say this is just a low-level incantation?¡± Ling Changkong dipped into it. ¡°Although it is a low-level incantation, it¡¯s still an incantation. Besides, it¡¯s still a demonized incantation. I¡¯m a fairy. I don¡¯t master the demonized incantation. How can I modify it?!¡± The blood drop felt like he was being despised, almost roaring. Chapter 8 - Peculiar Body ¡°Is there really nothing to be done?¡± Ling Changkong could not help being frustrated. Now he could not have the opportunity to practice more powerfully than Yu Zhencheng. If the Almighty Incantation could not be modified, would he really wait for death? ¡°Who said there is no way?¡± The Blood Drop calmed down, and said in placid way. ¡°Huh? Don¡¯t you say there¡¯s nothing you can do?¡± Hearing the Blood Drop said that, Ling Changkong was bright up. He asked the Blood Drop intensely. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that just now that the first way won¡¯t work, and the second way won¡¯t work, either? Didn¡¯t it mean that there is no way? Is there a third way?¡± Ling Changkong involuntarily tensed up. ¡°There really isn¡¯t a third way.¡± Seeing Ling Changkong looked disappointed, the Blood Drop turned his tone suddenly. He said: ¡°I have said just now. The second method includes two strategies. Modifying the method of martial arts is only one of them. Although it is impossible, the special constitution¡­¡­ ¡± ¡°Special constitution? Hmm, how interesting! Can it be regarded as special constitution that I have meridian occlusion and I can bear hit?¡± As for the special constitution, Ling Changkong did not expect any hope at all, which was the reason why he misjudged there was no way after the Blood Drop denied those two ways. ¡°You don¡¯t seem to have any expectations about your constitution. But I¡¯m sorry to tell you that you do have a particular constitution, which I found out when I modified your body.¡± The Blood Drop smiled slightly. ¡°Really?¡± Ling Changkong¡¯s eyes were sparkling. Fuck, he could not believe he even had a special constitution. ¡°Hum! What do you think Yu Zhencheng wants to do? In order to get you, Yu Zhencheng came all the way to the Qishan School regardless of having a fight with all of the friars. Then he forcibly accepted you as an apprentice, teach you method of martial arts, and let you make tripod stove. Do you think his mind is sick? The Blood Drop scolded Ling Changkong: ¡°It is because of your special constitution that he has noticed you for long time. This time I don¡¯t know the reason why he must make you come here. If everyone can make this tripod stove, he did not need to bother so much.¡± ¡°So, I do have some special constitution as you said.¡± Hearing the blood drop say so reasonably, Ling Changkong could not help grinning. He had never thought a bullied waste like him should have a special constitution. And there was someone who fought over the Qishan School for getting him. However, Ling Changkong immediately felt terrified. He nervously stared at the blood bead and asked: ¡°Just now you said you helped me transform my constitution. Have you changed my special constitution?¡± If he did change it, he would make a joke. ¡°Hmm, am I so stupid? Even the worst special constitution is a great treasure to friars. How can I change it for you? I only helped you dredge meridians so that you can practice like other friars.¡± The Blood Drop said scornfully, and at the same time he muttered: ¡°Shit, I would like to change, but I do not have the ability to change constitution.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good, that¡¯s good. Hey. Blood Drop, since you can see I have a special constitution, you should know what kind of constitution my special constitution is?¡± For the Blood Drop¡¯s thought, Ling Changkong did not know at all. At this time, he felt fluky from the bottom of his heart. Then he smiled lewdly and asked while he started to dream that whether he was pure-yang constitution, Mars constitution or chaos celestial constitution and so on¡­ ¡°There are many kinds of special constitutions in the world: some are rubbish; some are powerful; some are nothing; and some are supreme. I can¡¯t know all of them. But I think you are more friendly to the evil spirit, which should be one of the evil constitutions.¡± The Blood Drop said a lot, but only a word was useful, that was, he did not know. There were thousands of kinds of evil constitutions that were friendly to the evil spirit, among which there were thousands of differences. It was still unknown which kind of constitution Ling Changkong had. Even Ling Changkong was not the evil constitution at all, and it was not sure that Ling Changkong just seemed to belong to the evil constitution. In a word, the Blood Drop was nonsense! ¡°You don¡¯t need to think about it now, and it¡¯s no use thinking about it. You just need to practice it well. I¡¯ll open your constitution first, so that when Yu Zhencheng devours you, you can have a fight.¡± The Blood drop also knew what he said was some far-fetched. So, he immediately diverged from the topic and was going to teach Ling Changkong the method to open his special constitution. ¡°Wait, Blood Drop, what is the purpose of your coming into my body, dredging my meridians, and teaching me the method of opening up my constitution?¡± When the Blood Drop was going to impart the method of opening the special constitution, Ling Changkong unexpectedly halted to ask the Blood Drop such questions. He did not know the background and the purpose of the Blood Drop. Although the Blood Drop did not seem to harm him, he still had to keep alert lest he was caught into the tiger¡¯s den after just coming out of the wolf¡¯s nest. ¡°After all this talk, you still don¡¯t believe me. Okay, since you don¡¯t trust me, we just split up and don¡¯t bother each other any more.¡± Hearing Ling Changkong¡¯s sudden question, the Blood Drop seemed to be very angry. He snorted indifferently and was going to take no notice of Ling Changkong any more. ¡°Senior Blood Drop, you misunderstood me. I just want to know about something, so that when I pay back in the future, I will be sure about how to do. After all, I don¡¯t want to owe favor to anyone gratuitously.¡± Ling Changkong hurriedly explained. ¡°Well, I will tell you clearly. I was sealed in the blood bead for a long time. And I had stayed at the Qishan School for a long time. After thinking you have the fine quality I see that you may help me get rid of the seal, I chose you and would help you transform your constitution¡±. As if snorting coldly, the Blood Drop said in a slightly indifferent way: ¡°But no one knows that I just came into your body not long ago, the one who was not a person or a ghost came and aggressively took you away. I was also helpless.¡± ¡°Just now seeing him not sincerely to accept you as an apprentice to teach you method of martial arts, so I reminded you. After all, if you are devoured by him, I also have trouble of exposure. At that time, I will be erased by him, even be refined.¡± ¡°That is to say, we are now on the same rope. To help you is to help me. As for your return, if you really mean it, break the seal and let me out when you are strong enough.¡± ¡°Senior Blood Drop, I offended you just now. But I can assure that as long as I can escape this disaster, I will release you from the blood bead.¡± At the Blood Drop¡¯s words, Ling Changkong finally understood and solemnly promised to the Blood Drop. ¡°Okay, no nonsense any more, I will impart the method of opening the constitution first. You must learn and remember it completely.¡± A sharp light came out of the blood bead and was cast to Ling Changkong. It seemed to observe whether Ling Changkong was conscientious. Making sure that Ling Changkong was still magnanimous, the Blood Drop felt reassured and breathed a breath of relief. It would be against him to say something like that. But now he felt relieved to see Ling Changkong¡¯s behavior. Then, the Blood Drop exposed a light again. Across Ling Changkong¡¯s mind suddenly came out a scripture, which was the method of the Blood Drop to open the special constitution. After the imparting, the Blood Drop kept silent. And Ling Changkong did not immediately withdraw from the sea of his consciousness. He looked through the scripture several times to make sure he remembered it exactly and then he withdrew. Chapter 9 - The Magic Power Proofread by Liang Yaping ¡°Ling Changkong, I found that Yu Zhencheng left in a hurry just now. It must be something urgent. You should take advantage of this opportunity to open your magic body. This is not only good for your future practice, but also good for avoiding being discovered by him when you open your magic body.¡± It was also at the time when Ling Changkong came out of the sea of his consciousness and woke up that the Blood Drop transmitted a warning to Ling Changkong. ¡°Well, I see. I¡¯m going to turn on the magic body. HaHa. I don¡¯t know what my magic body will look like.¡± Ling Changkong nodded a little, and a scripture appeared before his eyes. It was the method of opening the magic body that the Blood Drop had taught him. In this manner he had begun to open up his constitution. The power of Xuan Realm in the body began to work slowly, flowing through the meridians and transferring for a day according to the skills learned in the Qishan School before. Then the power of Xuan Realm was divided into several channels and injected into several obscure minor meridians. ¡°Hiss¡­ ¡± Although Ling Changkong¡¯s meridians had been unimpeded, these meridians were small, which caused a burst of severe pain, making him gasp. However, compared with previous pain when he dredged the meridians, the sharp pain now was just like a bite by a mosquito. It was so trivial that Ling Changkong directly ignored it and began to impact those small meridians gradually. According to the method taught by the Blood Drop, the hundred veins of the human body were a great treasure, of which some meridians can be used for practice, some meridians can stimulate the potential¡­¡­ And some meridians can stimulate the special nature of the friar¡¯s body. These meridians that Ling Changkong was now impinging on were obviously the same kind of meridians. ¡°This guy¡¯s quality is really good, so tenacious. If he can escape this disaster, he will surely become a giant. Choosing to help him now is just like a timely help. If he has some achievements, he will certainly not treat me unjustly. Then, it¡¯s not just about unsealing.¡± In the sea of Ling Changkong¡¯s consciousness, the Blood Drop watched him impacting his meridians. The Blood Drop¡¯s eyes were flickering and he thought secretly. ¡°Almost. With a great effort. Burst these meridians.¡± As time went by, Ling Changkong¡¯s forehead began to be full of cold sweats of bean size. But looking at the last point of the meridian, he did not give up. He gritted his teeth and was ready to burst the meridians. ¡°Don¡¯t rush to burst the meridians. Recover and save up first. There will be a strong physical force pouring out after bursting these meridians. You cannot bear it in your current state. Hearing the Blood Drop¡¯s sudden warning, Ling Changkong¡¯s heart tightened. No longer in a hurry to burst the last point of meridians, Ling Changkong operated his power again. The external power of Xuan Realm suddenly received inexplicable traction and poured into Ling Changkong¡¯s body, which turned the external power into a part of his own power of Xuan Realm. Ling Changkong was only on the first stage of friar, which was very convenient to recover because the power of Xuan Realm was not much in his body. In a moment he was fully recovered. ¡°Right now.¡± Ling Changkong thought secretly and immediately ran his abundant power of Xuan Realm. He poured the power of Xuan Realm into his meridians to do the final impact. ¡°Boom!¡± Having broken through the shackles of meridians and veins, Ling Changkong suddenly felt relaxed. Followed by a force of oppression, the potential power originally hidden in somewhere of Ling Changkong¡¯s body suddenly filled his whole body. His face was originally slightly pale, but now it was red. His body was also red and scattered heat, which was like a furnace. ¡°Very well, hold on!¡± Seeing this, the Blood Drop was also in a sweat for Ling Changkong. Although he did not have any special constitution, he also knew that the cultivation must reach a certain level to open a special constitution, otherwise, it may be life-threatening. Ling Changkong now had to open his special constitution because of the urgent special situation. It was too dangerous to be without worry. Ling Changkong¡¯s body seemed to be burning very hot. He forced to suppress the violent force and operated the power so that he could gradually absorb this power. This power was the potential power hidden in his body. What a pity if it was wasted! ¡°Boom!¡± Another shackle was burst through. It was not the meridians but the second stage of friar was broken through. ¡°Yes, very well. Try to absorb this power. Don¡¯t waste it.¡± The Blood Drop said to himself, not knowing if Ling Changkong could hear. Under Ling Changkong¡¯s full suppression and absorption, the violent force in his body gradually weakened. Three hours passed in a flash. ¡°Whew!¡± Ling Changkong woke up from the practice and took a long puff of stale air. He seemed to be very tired. Finally, he absorbed all the power. ¡°The fourth stage of friar. It was just this force that broke through three stages in an instant. So powerful!¡± Ling Changkong looked at his hands in disbelief and felt his condition. It was undoubtedly the fourth stage of friar. ¡°What¡¯s the big deal. I have seen someone rose from a mortal to an immortal in one night.¡± The Blood Drop said in a scornful way. ¡°Fairy again, there is no fairy in this world. And it is impossible for someone to become a fairy overnight.¡± Ling Changkong was speechless. ¡°There are absolutely fairies in the world, but nonentity like you can¡¯t see.¡± ¡°And you saw it?¡± ¡°Of course, I did¡­ ¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think about the old days. Do you have some method to hide the cultivation? Yu Zhencheng would certainly be suspicious because I broke through three realms suddenly.¡± Knowing that the Blood Drop could not stop if it started to say, Ling Changkong immediately interrupted the Blood Drop and asked. ¡°Yes, but I don¡¯t know if it can be used. I¡¯ll teach you first.¡± The blood Drop said and then imparted the method of hiding to Ling Changkong subsequently. ¡°Fairy Hidden formula¡­ ¡± Ling Changkong was speechless for a while. ¡°Does this world really have fairy?¡± Ling Changkong made finger gestures during incantations and learned the Fairy Hidden formula for a while. The breath on his body turned into the first stage of friar once again. ¡°Now it is time to practice the Almighty Incantation. You can only enhance your own strength in order to really get rid of the control of Yu Zhencheng and get rid of the fate of making the tripod stove.¡± Ling Changkong said to himself. In his mind appeared a scripture again. It was the Almighty Incantation that Yu Zhencheng had taught. This time he only saw the first stage and then made finger gestures during incantations in order to begin to practice. The external power of Xuan Realm immediately swarmed to him and came into the meridians to be refined. It came back to his Dantian (the pubic region of body) until it turned into another force, the magic power. The magic power was black as ink. It was just like the black palm print made by Yu Zhencheng. At this time, it gathered in his Dantian. It did not disagree with the original cyan black force in his Dantian, and instead it fused together with the original cyan. Ling Changkong could feel clearly that the power of Xuan Realm could transform between the black and the cyan. That was a good sign. If it was interchangeable, Ling Changkong¡¯s practice of the magic power was equal to the practice of the power of Xuan Realm, and vice versa. There was no need to avoid practicing more method of martial arts. Ling Changkong could hide his magical power as usual. Taking it as a last resort so that there¡¯s an extra card in his hand. Of course, all of this would succeed only until he was out of Yu Zhencheng¡¯s control. Chapter 10 - March Passed Away Chapter 10: March Passed Away Translator: Mo Liping Proofread by Liang Yaping Time flies in a blink of an eye. March was gone. In one of the stone chambers, Ling Changkong sat cross-legged, with both hands making gesture during incantation, and the outside power of Deity Realm swarmed, with the light of Deity Realm flowing around his body. After three months of cultivation, the aura around Ling Changkong was more mysterious. It reached the fifth stage of friar when he practiced the Fairy Hidden formula. That¡¯s to say, he reached at least the eighth stage of friar. As the cultivation increased, his temperament was gradually changing. He was no longer as humble as before, and he looked more and more handsome. Probably the reason for practicing the Almighty Incantation, he inadvertently displayed a sort of arrogant and potent domineering. But it was not loathsome. During the March, except checking the cultivation of Ling Changkong every other day, Yu Zhencheng almost ignored Ling Changkong. Even so, Ling Changkong was also happy. Every day except for resting and eating, he almost practiced all day. Apart from his cultivation, he often asked the Blood Drop some questions and the information of the outside world. Then he found out the world what the Blood Drop said about was completely different from what he knew. If the world he knew was called the secular world, then the blood Drop¡¯s was like the immortal world in which immortals, like pigs and dogs, could be seen everywhere. And above the immortals, were superior immortals¡­ This had to make Ling Changkong doubt the truth of what the Blood Drop said. However, he did not care, and just took it as a joke. He still practiced when to practice, and rested when to rest. ¡°Boom!¡± At a certain moment, Ling Changkong¡¯s body suddenly shook, and it seemed to be to shake the air around his body. ¡°Whir!¡± His eyes suddenly opened, but then he calmed down, took a long puff of turbid Qi and the body¡¯s aura finally subsided. ¡°After this cultivation, my realm finally stabilized. At the same time, the first stage of the Almighty Incantation was also completed. The meridians completely adapted to the magic force, and could even freely transform the power of the Deity Realm and the magic force. ¡± Looking inside the pubic region and the abundant power of Deity Realm, Ling Chang raised his mouth slightly upward, and said: ¡°The magic body is really good. There¡¯s no slight increase during the cultivation of other martial deity arts,but there¡¯s rapid growth when cultivating the magic martial arts, and then, it is the second stage of the Almighty Incantation.¡± In just three months, from one of the humblest first stage of Deity Realm, to complete the first stage of the Almighty Incantation, Ling Changkong became very confident of his crazily increasing strength. In the past, his meridians were occluded, unable to cultivate, and bullied by others. He could only swallow the insults. Now, his meridians have been dredged by the Blood Drop. He can not only cultivate, but also can be faster than others. He believed that reaching the height of other people, or even going beyond others, was only a matter of time. Ling Changkong closed his eyes again, calmly thinking, and suddenly the scriptures of the Almighty Incantation appeared in the eyes.He directly skipped the first stage and looked at the second. ¡°Compared with the first stage where the body adapts to the magic force, the second is to cultivate the flesh. It is unique, but indeed, the flesh of the friar becomes stronger, not only the meridians become stronger on bearing capacity of deity power. With a light came into his eyes, Ling Changkong whispered to himself: ¡°After all, the physical strength is enhanced, the meridians will also enhance the bearing capacity of the deity power, and the cultivation speed can be relatively increased.¡± In this world, there is no such thing as a physical friar. Therefore, Ling Changkong did not know the term ¡°physical friar¡±. He simply believed that practicing the Almighty Incantation to cultivate the flesh was only to assist cultivating the power of Deity Realm. Of course, he still could understand the benefits of powerful flesh. The speed was fast like the wind, the power destroyed the mountains and seas, and all broke out in a small space. As long as it was near, the friar had nothing to do but wait! Only when the power became stronger. ¡°Start to cultivate the second stage.¡± After reading the scriptures of the second stage of Almighty Incantation, Ling Changkong was ready to start practicing again. After all, his own life was still in the hands of Yu Zhencheng, and he was eager to improve his strength. Only when the strength was improved, could he get rid of Yu Zhencheng and even kill him! ¡°Booming!¡± However, when Ling Changkong was preparing to practice, a loud bang came. Ling Changkong was shocked, instantly opened his eyes and saw that the stone door had been already opened. At the door stood a black man. It was Yu Zhencheng. Yu Zhencheng came to check his cultivation again. ¡°Master.¡± Ling Changkong stood up in a hurry and saluted with joined hands, which seemed to be very respectful. ¡°Well, Ling Changkong, put your hand over, let me look at your cultivation situation.¡± Yu Zhencheng nodded slightly, came to Ling Changkong, and very naturally said to him. ¡°Yes.¡± Ling Changkong nodded, seemed to have expected, and stretched out his right hand. Yu Zhencheng checked his cultivation situation like this, which was not once or twice. Except for some tension at the beginning, it was already very relaxing. Yu Zhencheng also stretched out a hand, grabbed the wrist of Ling Changkong, felt the pulse. A stream of deity power was emitted into Ling Changkong¡¯s body, and then worked along the meridians. To see a person¡¯s cultivation, it only needed to be scanned by the almighty knower. But to look at the cultivation situation of this person¡¯s specific method, it is required that the friar who practices the same method pour his deity power into that person¡¯s body. It took a cycle to run in the meridians to know the situation. Yu Zhencheng checked the cultivation of Ling Changkong, which obviously belonged to the latter case. Just in a cycle, Yu Zhencheng¡¯s ugly old face suddenly took on a happy color, which made Ling¡¯s faces lightly changed. He was always somewhat depressed when Yu Zhencheng checked his cultivation before. At this time, however ¡­ there must be something strange for the abnormal situation. Shrinking his arms and trying to take back his right hand, Ling Changkong found that Yu Zhencheng clasped his wrist tightly at this time, and did not loosen it. ¡°Haha, well, well, the day finally comes.¡± After a while, Yu Zhencheng finally reacted. Not only did he not let go, but he tightened it tighter, and at the same time he couldn¡¯t help laughing. ¡°Oh no, Ling Changkong, his timing is ripe. Break away from his control!¡± Not only did Ling Changkong find it bad, but the Blood Drop also noticed it, immediately shouting at Ling Changkong. ¡°Break!¡± When the Blood Drop reminded him, Ling Changkong completely confirmed, no longer hesitated, shouted, and the deity power rushed to split Yu Zhencheng, while Ling Changkong¡¯s left fist smashed out to the big hand holding his wrist on. ¡°Humph!¡± When Yu Zhencheng saw Ling Changkong suddenly rise with fury, Yu Zhencheng looked severe, and snorted. The hand holding Ling Changkong suddenly loosened, then his back hand shot, directly flipped Ling Changkong¡¯s fist. Just feeling a sharp pain in the left hand, Ling Changkong retreated with pupils contracting. ¡°Oh, look at this, you have already known, but even if you know, now that you have completed the first stage of the Almighty Incantation, the fate is also already doomed.¡± Looking at the frightened Ling Changkong, Yu Zhencheng sneered, no longer concealing. He had given the five stages of the Almighty Incantation to Ling Changkong just to confuse him. All he needed was only the accomplishment of the first stage. Probably also because of this, he frequently checked the progress of Ling Changkong¡¯s cultivation. Chapter 11 - Plot Chapter 11: Plot Translator: Peng Jia Proofread by Liang Yaping ¡°You planned it! What is your purpose?¡± Seeing Yu Zhencheng could no longer hide, Ling Changkong changed his face suddenly. He stared at Yu Zhencheng and shouted. ¡°Haha. Since you want to know, I would let you know how you would die. Well, I had planned it. When you entered the Qishan School, I found that your physique is special.¡± Yu Zhencheng was not in a hurry to start. He has been waiting for a long time, so he also didn¡¯t care about this time. Since Ling Changkong wanted to know, he would let Ling Changkong know how he would die. After all, Ling Changkong also helped him succeed in magic power. ¡°However, I just let you go because I did not get the Almighty Incantation at that time. Later I cooperated with the elder of the Yushan School to steal the Fengyan Force. After that I left the Qishan School.¡± ¡°That is, in the time of wandering outside, I got the Almighty Incantationin by coincidence. Although there are only the first five stages, the power is amazing. I did it on a whim. But it never occurred to me that it was necessary to practice the Almighty Incantation with magic body, or with the magic body as a guide.¡± ¡°I almost went astray because of this. Then I thought of you guy. I hesitated again and again, finally returned to the Qishan School and took you out by forces.¡± Yu Zhencheng disdained Ling Changkong as he said that. ¡°To be frank, you should thank me. If it were not me, how could you have seen such a mysterious feat? Without me, how could you have had such practice? It is me who gave you all of these. Now, it is time for you to repay me!¡± ¡°Hum! You want to eat up the fruits of my practice and also want me to thank you. Repay you? It is really ridiculous!¡± He listened to Yu Zhencheng¡¯s words, and his face became more and more gloomy. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said with a cold snort. ¡°No matter how eloquent you are, today is the time for you to pay back!¡± Yu Zhencheng¡¯s face did not change and showed a cruel smile. He pointed to Ling Changkong and said with great certainty. ¡°Is it possible? !¡± ¡°Kill!¡± Ling Changkong shouted and kicked off with both legs so that he threw himself directly on Yu Zhencheng. It was impossible to let him be captured and slaughtered without a fight! ¡°Worm! If you are not still useful to me, I will kill you because of your offence now!¡± Seeing Ling Changkong actually attacked over, Yu Zhencheng sniffed coldly and waved his big sleeve. A black magic force gushed out directly to Ling Changkong. ¡°Boom!¡± The Black great practice hit on Ling Changkong and it immediately sent Ling Changkong into the air. He fell down and smashed the table into pieces. And Ling Changkong also lost consciousness. ¡°Hum!¡± Yu Zhencheng coldly sniffed and waved his sleeve again. He seized Ling Changkong who was like the dead dog, went out and turned into the practice room. When Ling Changkong woke up drowsily, he found that he had been bound by a black power of practice. He lay on a black stone platform, which was not big but commodious for a person to lie on. On the surface of the black stone platform was sketched the outline of the magic force array, which emitted black light. ¡°Here¡­ Oh,no!¡± Ling Changkong exclaimed and wanted to stand up, but he found that his whole body was too weak to stand up. ¡°Ha, you finally woke up. I would not knock you unconscious if I knew I would wait for such long time.¡± At this time, a cold laughter came, which made Ling Changkong¡¯s heart shiver. He looked up. It was Yu Zhencheng exactly. ¡°There is no need to waste your energy. Your power of Xuan Realm has been blocked by me. Just wait for your death quietly.¡± Yu Zhencheng came to the black stone platform to check the array and said to Ling Changkong. Ling Changkong¡¯s eyes were sparkling with his face dark and uncertain. He immediately shouted to the Blood Drop, ¡°blood drop, blood drop, senior¡­¡± There was no reply. At this time, Yu Zhencheng rolled up his big sleeve. He pressed his hands on the stone platform to convey magic power into the array in succession and excitedly said: ¡°I have been waiting for this step for a long time. I will be able to practice the Almighty Incantation after swallowing you. By then, the Qishan School and the Yushan School, both will be under my feet¡­¡­ ¡± The array emitted black light after Yu Zhencheng¡¯s magic force was conveyed into it. Ling Changkong was wholly enveloped by the black light and he immediately felt a huge phagocytic force began to engulf his magic force. ¡°Am I really going to die?¡± Feeling the loss of his magic power little by little with no way to stop, Ling Changkong could help but have a fear of being so close to death at this moment. ¡°Now¡­ ¡± Just then, the voice of the Blood Drop spread over suddenly. Ling Changkong could not help but be happy and immediately asked the Blood Drop: ¡°Where did you go just now? Why did not you answer? What can I do now?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk. Listen to me and do what I say.¡± The Blood Drop did not answer, but said so very quickly. ¡°Well.¡± Ling Changkong answered. ¡°Take advantage of now, your magic power does not suffer the seal out of the pubic region. You take back a bit of the magic power from inside and inject it into a few channels that you have opened. Then inspire your flesh potentials and turn over to engulf him.¡± Ling Changkong immediately did as the Blood Drop said. He wanted to capture part of the magic power that was about to be swallowed, but how powerful the devouring power was! It was impossible for him to capture the magic power. For a moment he did not possess any magic power. With the passage of time, Yu Zhencheng devoured Ling Changkong¡¯s magic power little by little. And now only a third of it was left. ¡°No more. I¡¯ll teach you the way. And if you do, there may be a glimmer of hope.¡± Seeing Ling Changkong had not captured any magic power yet, the Blood Drop was also anxious and said to Ling Changkong, ¡°All the divinities are pouring out of the sea of consciousness, enter the meridians, mix with the magic power, and then use the power of divinities to hold the magic power.¡± According to the command of the Blood Drop, Ling Changkong mobilized the power of consciousness The next moment, Ling Changkong could not help being with a joy, and exclaimed: ¡°Okay, I have detained a little magic power.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t let up, just pour it into the meridians.¡± ¡°Well.¡± Ling Changkong replied. His power of consciousness carried the magic power into the channels which he had opened. At this moment, the change suddenly happened. The array of the stone platform which originally clockwise operated suddenly counter-clockwise operated at that time. It did not devour Ling Changkong¡¯s magic power, but gave feedback to Ling Changkong. ¡°Oh, no! What¡¯s going on here? !¡± For this scene, Yu Zhencheng perceived it immediately. He found himself not only unable to engulf Ling Changkong¡¯s magic power, but also he was actually swallowed up by Ling Changkong. ¡°He turned on his special constitution? It is impossible! Where did he get the means to unlock his special constitution?¡± Then Yu Zhencheng¡¯s eyes sparked a flash and suddenly thought of something with his face changed dramatically. He unbelievably looked at Ling Changkong who lay on the stone platform. How did he know the method of opening the special constitution which he even did not know? At that time, Ling Changkong sat cross-legged on the stone platform. The power of the black practice which enveloped him had fallen off and went into him as a part of his body. It seemed that Ling Changkong was aware of Yu Zhencheng¡¯s sight. So, he also looked at Yu Zhencheng with a chilling sight, which stunned Yu Zhencheng suddenly. ¡°Did it occur to you, you old devil, that you were plotting against me, and I was plotting against you. Now, give me all of your magic power!¡± Chapter 12 - Counter Devouring Yu Zhencheng At this time, Ling Changkong was taut, and huge magic forces were injected into his body. These magical forces he could not bear, but something strange happened: he did not suffer any damage, let alone exploding. Many magical forces were infused into his body, and only a small part turned into his own magic power, and merged into his lower abdomen. While the other magic powers were strangely integrated into his meridians and flesh, especially the meridians that improved physique. Though small, after absorbing the magic power, they took up half of all magic power. At this moment, the body of Ling Changkong was like a bottomless pit, ruthlessly swallowing the power of Yu Zhencheng. ¡°Hurry! Disconnect!¡± Feeling that Ling Changkong had devoured his magic power, Yu Zhencheng panicked for only a moment, and then he calmed down and his eyes lit up. He then manipulated his magic power, trying to get out of the shackles of the array. However, Yu Zhencheng had underestimated the power of the array. No matter what he did, he was unable to break the shackles of the array. ¡°Hut!¡± Yu Zhencheng screamed, and the power of Deities Realm on him erupted as he kicked the stone platform. Boom! There was a thunderous bang, but the stone platform did not move at all. It was just an ordinary stone platform, but now, due to the power of the array, it could resist the vicious attack of the Emperor Realm. ¡°The stone platform is not broken. The array is not destroyed. Am I going to be devoured by the guy?¡± Yu Zhencheng sighed, feeling unresigned. What a big name he was£¡It was so ironic that he was going to be devoured by this small potato who was just in the Cultivator Realm. ¡°Haha, you old dog, save your breath. When I get the initiative, you were already doomed.¡± Seeing that Yu Zhencheng couldn¡¯t match him, Ling Changkong felt relieved, sneered, and continued to say to Yu Zhencheng. ¡°Humph! As long as I kill you guy, this array will be broken.¡± When he heard Ling Changkong¡¯s words, his face turned even heavier and looked disdainful. At the same time, the air around his body soared, which seemed ready to attack. ¡°Are you sure you can kill me?¡± Under the pressure of the Emperor Realm, Ling Changkong was still not afraid, smiled playfully and asked. With a cold voice, Yu Zhencheng pulled back with hatred. His power of Xuan Realm was magic power. Once thrown out, it could only be absorbed by Ling Changkong, which did not help at all. He was just threatening Ling Changkong. As for the pressure, Yu Zhencheng had thought of that. Even though he could crush him, as long as Ling Changkong did not die, this array could not be cracked, and that even would increase his exhaustion. It would be still not feasible! Boom! On the stone platform, the air rippled. The air around Ling Changkong¡¯s body became stronger. He had already broken through the ninth stage of Cultivator Realm. ¡°Damn! You are using my Xuan power. You made it to the ninth stage. You are always hiding your power. You, shameless hustler, how many skills are you hiding?¡± Seeing Ling Changkong broke through the ninth stage of friar, Yu Zhencheng¡¯s face was even heavier. This was all his magic power, but now it not only enhanced his opponent, but also helped him to break through the ninth stage of Cultivator Realm. However, the most depressing thing was that he could do nothing! After a long time, the array finally stopped. Yu Zhencheng lay on the stone platform, drained, looking uglier. At this time, he did not look like he was in the Emperor Realm, but an old man on his last breathes. If Ling Changkong had not jumped off the stone platform at the last moment, Yu Zhencheng would now be dead. ¡°Tell me. Where is the rest of the Almighty Incantation?¡± Coming close to Yu Zhencheng, Ling Changkong asked him. Ling Changkong did not kill Yu Zhencheng because he wanted to force him to disclose another part of the Almighty Incantation. ¡°Haha, this time I failed, but you will never get the other part of the Almighty Incantation, because it is in my mind.¡± Yu Zhencheng gasped and laughed painstakingly. Ling Changkong¡¯s face turned solemn. If it was as Yu Zhencheng said, even if he could cultivate this incomplete Almighty Incantation, it would become a chicken rib [an expression for something insignificant ¡ª tasteless when eaten but a pity to throw away]. ¡°Hey, who said you couldn¡¯t read minds? Nonsense!¡± At this time, a laughter rang in Ling Changkong¡¯s mind. He felt shocked and asked immediately, ¡°Blood Drop, can you get it?¡± ¡°Of course, I was¡­¡± ¡°Stop! Just say it.¡± Blood Drop was about to tell a long story again, Ling Changkong was scared and interrupted him immediately, and asked him to get to the point. Blood Drop was all right except that he was too chatty! ¡°I have an soul-searching incantation and now I will teach it to you. You can use this method to get what you want from one¡¯s mind.¡± Blood Drop said, then in the mind of Ling Changkong, a text of blood red scriptures appeared out of the void. It was the soul-searching method, as Blood Drop said. Ling Changkong read it silently and quickly learned it. Once again, he looked at Yu Zhencheng and sneered: ¡°You think I can¡¯t read your mind?¡± Then, he stretched out one hand and grabbed Yu Zhencheng¡¯s head, about to use the soul-searching method. ¡°Stop! Stop! I¡¯ll tell you!¡± Yu Zhencheng seemed to realize something. Horror-stricken, he yelled and surrendered to Ling Changkong. Soul-searching could get hidden thoughts from the victim but turn them into idiots. If he was just a simple idiot, Yu Zhencheng was not afraid, but he knew that the idiot caused by soul-searching would break the soul. If the soul was incomplete, he could even not reincarnate! ¡°Too late.¡± Ling Changkong said coldly. He pressed his hand on the head of Yu Zhencheng, who couldn¡¯t get rid of Ling Changkong¡¯s claws however he struggled. ¡°Soul-search!¡± Ling Changkong snapped, and his five fingers curled. Yu Zhencheng¡¯s body trembled. He lost consciousness. After an hour, Ling Changkong went out from the practice room and searched some other stone rooms. Not only did he get the complete Almighty Incantation from the mind of Yu Zhencheng, but he also obtained the key to the whole cave-dwelling. Now these stone chambers were open to him. In front of the magic arts room, Ling Changkong began an incantation, tossed it at the stone gate, and said: ¡°Open!¡± Boom! The incantation hit into the stone gate, and it opened. Ling Changkong entered the magic arts room, and did not stop to look, but collected everything into the space ring, then turned and left, entering the next room. This space ring was also obtained from Yu Zhencheng. About half an hour later, Ling Changkong finally swept the entire cave, and entered the dark corridor. ¡°Tap, tap, tap.¡± In the dark corridor, there were crisp footsteps and the voice of Ling Changkong talking to himself. ¡°This time the loot is quite good, but this space ring is too small. I can only take away the precious things, and leave the rest here.¡± ¡°Fengyan Force is really the most precious treasure of Qishan. It is so exquisite. The introductory method I practiced before is born out of Fengyan Force. Now I can practice Fengyan Force openly, and the Almighty Incantation secretly. Well, after all, the Almighty Incantation is not complete, and one more method could save me in a pinch.¡± ¡°Three months. It is time to return to Qishan. If they know that I am now at the peak stage of the Cultivator Realm, what will they think? Liang Mingzhi, Li Xunming, wait and see. I will definitely return the favor. ¡± Ling Changkong finally walked out of the dark corridor. In the sun, he lifted his handsome face and smile: ¡°Misfortune might be a blessing in disguise. This is true after all.¡± Chapter 13 - Return to the Sect Proofread by Liang Yaping Known as one of the seven sacred mountains in the western region, Mount Qi also enjoyed a high reputation in this entire country. Located in the backland of Mount Qi, the Qi Sect is one of the ten Immortal Sects in the western states. The broad stretches of Mount Qi were covered with snow, which added to its solitude and ethereal beauty. Though bearing no comparison to the legendary fairyland, it was undoubtedly a rare sight in the real world. ¡°Squeak, squeak¡­¡± A slightly discordant sound rang at this very moment, disturbing the peace of the heavenly place. It was the sound of footsteps on the snow. A boy dressed in a black robe slowly paced up the mountain road. He looked about and slightly nodded with satisfaction as he said to himself, ¡°There won¡¯t be fallen leaves due to the current severe winter weather. So my workload might be reduced after going back this time.¡± The black-robed boy seemed to have recalled something as he spoke. After a daze for a second, he mumbled in a self-deprecating manner with the barest hint of resentment in his voice, ¡°Oh, if memory serves me correctly, I am no longer that spineless loser. And never again will I, Ling Changkong, degrade myself with inferior work.¡± Yes, the black-robed boy was Ling Changkong. Nearly half a month had passed since he left Yu Zhencheng¡¯s cave, and he was finally back. The Qi Sect was his only home at the moment, although it was colder than winter. And this time he had something more important to do apart from proving his abilities to his so-called family members. It was true that the Qi Sect was a large sect of the western state, but among the mainland of China it was not worth mentioning for there was a wider world outside. Ling Changkong could not practice because of his meridian occlusion before. He was just a handyman, a doormat in the Sect, someone who would never dream about things outside. But now, he could not only practice, but also become faster and stronger than others. So he would not be confined to the Qi Sect or the western state any more. He wanted to see the outside world, and to improve his cultivation step by step, so that he would never be bullied again. Consequently, Ling Changkong had to return. He wanted to use the Qi Sect as a springboard to improve himself, and seize the opportunity to broaden his horizon. However, this was not the only reason for Ling Changkong¡¯s return. ¡°Squeak, squeak¡­¡± With his determined paces against the biting wind, Ling Changkong walked to the Sect step by step. Influential as it was, the Qi Sect hadn¡¯t occupied all the branches of the mountain. It covered just the area of its main peak and a few places rich in resources. ¡°Oh, finally! It is indeed extremely difficult to cover the mountain road for over a hundred miles.¡± After about two hours, Ling Changkong finally reached the last step, and arrived at the square outside the mountain gate as he gasped slightly. At this time, Ling Changkong was at the peak of Friar Realm, but in severe winter, mounting Mount Qi was also quite difficult. ¡°The master and his party were blocking Yu Zhencheng here three months ago. Now everything I see here still feels like a dream.¡± Looking at the empty silver-white square, Ling Changkong¡¯s face lit up. He let out a sigh at the sight of the dreamlike scenery before his eyes at the moment. ¡°Wait till I get back to the Sect.¡± With that, Ling Changkong hurried towards the gate. A milky-white archway serves as the gate of the Qi Sect, which denied the access of secularities. And inside, it was the turf of the Sect. However, everyone who had passed the archway and entered the Sect should follow their rules, which included no private fighting or killing. Of course, competitions among its disciples weren¡¯t forbidden. A platform was set up in a specialised area, on which disciples would no longer be bound by the rules of the Sect. ¡°Seniors, may I enter?¡± As soon as he arrived at the gate, Ling handed his token over to the two guarding disciples and asked. ¡°Look what the cat dragged in! Why come back after acknowledging that traitor, Yu Zhencheng, as your master, loser?¡± One of them took the token, took a glimpse with a contemptuous smile, and directly threw it right back at Ling¡¯s face as he mocked. ¡°What? Ling Changkong? That piece of garbage? I can hardly recognize him after three months. How dare you come back after honoring that traitor as your master? You know what, why don¡¯t you show me what you¡¯ve learnt out there, you filthy little traitor?¡± The other disciple was a little taken aback at his companion¡¯s provoking words, but he immediately came to his senses and cracked his knuckles as he raised his voice patronizingly. Hearing their sarcastic tone, Ling Changkong turned black as thunder. He would never forget these two, Zhang Lihe and Shen Pingzhi, who were merely the peripheral disciples of the Qi Sect. Each time he swept the fallen leaves past them on that road, he had to suffer from their ¡®concern¡¯. Ling Changkong bent over, pick his identity token up and took a glimpse at it before he forced a smile of self-depreciation. As one of the registered disciples of the Qi Sect, he was inferior to the guarding disciples, and would even be bullied by servants of the Sect. The former period of his life was the reflection of a world where power always came first. Without strength, he would be bullied by anyone from anywhere! ¡°Cat caught your tongue? Or do you feel superior after taking a friar of Xuan Realm as your master?¡± Seeing that Ling Changkong was as incompetent as before, when he didn¡¯t have the courage to breath a word about being bullied, Zhang Lihe became bolder. He gave Ling a shove, and said haughtily. ¡°Senior Zhang, I was taken captive by Yu Zhencheng. Now I have just escaped from him, and I didn¡¯t betray our Sect or anyone here. I think you should know that¡¯s the last thing I would do.¡± Ling Changkong¡¯s turned sullen instantly, but he remained rational, put his token away, and explained to Zhang Lihe. Given his special identity, he had to hold his horses. ¡°Hum! So what? You are a traitor because I just called you one!¡± Zhang Lihe snorted. He certainly knew what Ling Changkong said was true. Otherwise, he would have fled at the sight of Ling Changkong, instead of bullying him just now. ¡°Yeah, since you¡¯re standing outside, no one will notice even if we kill you. At the very least, even if someone finds out, who would care for a treacherous loser?¡± Shen Pingzhi¡¯s eyes gleamed with malevolence, which derived from his intention of killing Ling Changkong. With a spark in his eyes, Ling Changkong stared at him coldly. His incompetence before was not even close to arouse the homicidal intent of a peripheral disciple who held no grudge against him. ¡°You are digging your own grave!¡± Sensing Ling Changkong¡¯s piercing stare, Shen Pingzhi¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He took a step back before realizing that he had been scared off by a loser. He burst into anger, and took a swing with his fist towards Ling Changkong, which implied his cultivation of the fifth level of the Friars¡¯ Realm.
