Chapter 657 - Shanghai, I’m Back (1/2)

When Chu Yunsheng arrived outside Shanghai, it was the seventh day after he left the Ghost Town.

The reason why he had to delay so many days was that he needed to prepare enough absorption talismans and material for armors. Both the highway and the railroad had become his main hunting ground. Humans couldn’t see insects and monsters, but they could see humans, these were the places where they were most likely to appear.

Although it was cruel to use the refugees as bait, he also saved their lives anyway. Moreover, after they entered the city, rumors would start to spread, this would help him a lot before he entered Shanghai.

He wanted to let Shanghai’s military and government know that he, Chu Yunsheng was coming back!

As for Old Youling, to be honest, he didn’t care about it at all. A ghost-like creature that was scared of black gas. He could easily kill it.

After seven days, any monsters that were alone or in smaller groups near those two routes were eliminated by him.

Strangely, apart from seeing the normal red-sh.e.l.led insects, which were the ones that would attack all humans indiscriminately, he didn’t see any other two types of red-sh.e.l.led insects.

Chu Yunsheng had thought about this for quite a while. He was able to encounter those two types of insects as soon as he came out of Nanjing, it could only mean that they had already been gathering outside Nanjing and waiting to attack him while he was trapped inside. However, after he managed to escape from the attack, they must have found some places to hide and then started to ma.s.sively expand their creep area. Once they had a Min, they would definitely come back to attack him again.

Since the party that wanted to kill him was doing the preparation, the party that wanted to save him, which was the black-ridged insects, would also do the same thing. After all, he was too familiar with the insects. So he was sure that this was most likely the reason why he didn’t see any of them at the moment.

Then what was waiting for him would be a ma.s.sive war of terror. The more peaceful it was at the moment, the scarier it would be when the war broke out.

Therefore, he must improve his strength as soon as possible!

The serious wounds left by the battle with the giant head were gradually recovering, and he was seizing all his time trying to break through the first substage of Yuan Tian Stage Two.

In the past, this was the breakthrough that almost killed him above the office building in Jin Ling city, and the reason was simply that he misunderstood a symbol.

However, the deep impression left by the dangerous cultivation practice at that time was not only just this one. It was at that time, he also started to use the insect’s culture fluid to increase his own cultivation speed. He thought that he took the shortcut, but in the end, he was almost tortured to death by this shortcut. But unexpectedly, he was able to form Yuan Tian stage three using Inverse Yuan Qi.

Of course, he still didn’t know if this was the reason why he had inverse Yuan Qi, mainly because it was too chaotic at that time, he either had a problem with his zero-dimensional s.p.a.ce or his life force. All the problems just kept appearing because of the shortcut he took, in the end, even the senior pract.i.tioner also said that it was almost impossible to save him.

But now he was inside the Pseudo-Monolith. Although he knew that it wasn’t real, he still wanted to practice it step by step, refrain from impulsiveness and impetuousness, and reach Yuan Tian Stage three using the correct method. There were two main reasons why he wanted to do that. Firstly, it could endure that he had the power to take the rest of the pendants. Secondly, he also wanted to see how powerful would real Yuan Tian Stage three be. Or maybe he could even try to reach Yuan Tian Stage Four!

Actually, based on the time he had, he thought that it was entirely possible. After all, he was familiar with all the cultivation steps from stage one to stage three. So there shouldn’t be any big problems, as long as he could guarantee the steady progress of his cultivation level. So before the simulation ended, he still had a chance to break through Yuan Tian Stage three.

In fact, he had an even bigger ambition, but it was not very realistic.

That was to use the time he had in the Pseudo-Monolith to try to reach Yuan Tian Stage nine, and maybe explore the even higher cultivation stages.
