Chapter 92 - Passing (1/2)

Moments later.

The cyan-clothed woman led the 21 new disciples to a huge, dark cave. Two servants guarded the entrance. When they saw the new arrivals, they immediately bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Lords, and Ladies.”

The servants were all mortals. They managed the daily chores in Archean Mountain, and they greeted all inner sect disciples respectfully.

“Follow me in,” said the cyan-clothed woman as she walked in.

Meng Chuan and the others entered the cave. They arrived inside the belly of the massive mountain. The cave’s walls were decorated with enormous iridescent pearls. Their misty glow illuminated the cave walls—that were carved into enormous bookshelves by the Godfiends. On the bookshelves were rows of books. There were over 10,000 books in the cavern.

After the cyan-clothed woman entered, she sat cross-legged on a boulder casually. She looked at Meng Chuan and company and smiled. “You can just address me as Aunt-Master Qingyu.”

“Aunt-Master Qingyu,” greeted Meng Chuan and company respectfully.

“Archean Mountain disciples need to become transcendent-grade Godfiends or high-grade Godfiends,” said the cyan-clothed woman with a smile. “You have just joined the sect. I believe all of you have great ambition, wishing to become a transcendent-grade Godfiend.”

Meng Chuan, Yan Jin, Li Ying, Jin Huan, and Yan Chitong’s eyes lit up.

They naturally wanted to become the strongest.

“There are 12 transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies. For example, Thirteen Swordbane Fiend Body, Eon Sea Fiend Body, Azure Lotus Divine Body, etc.” The cyan-clothed woman smiled and shook her head. With a wave of her hand, books flew towards Meng Chuan and company from one of the bookshelves. “All of you can take a book. Read them carefully. All new disciples have read this book first.”

Meng Chuan caught the book.

The black book was made of very special material. On the cover were three words: “Godfiend Formula Compilation.”

“This Godfiend Formula Compilation gives a very detailed introduction to the 12 transcendent-grade Godfiend formulas and 27 high-grade Godfiend formulas. Read it first,” said the cyan-clothed woman. “There are many books regarding transcendent-grade and high-grade Godfiend formulas. They have been categorized. You can read them carefully. Think about which Godfiend formulas you want to choose carefully.

“After all, some Godfiends have extremely powerful vitality. Some are suitable for archers. Some are suitable for close combat, while others are suitable for silent assassinations. If one doesn’t succeed in one strike, one will be able to flee half a thousand kilometers away.

“The Godfiend formula you cultivate will become the path you take for your entire life. You have to consider your choice carefully. Once you have chosen a formula, you’ll have to cultivate using that formula for at least three years. Only if you fail to cultivate the formula will you be able to switch to a new Godfiend formula,” said the cyan-clothed woman. “Think carefully. Even if you spend half a month to consider your choice, it will still be worth it.”

Meng Chuan and company naturally understood the importance of choosing a Godfiend formula. All of them sat cross-legged and carefully read the book in their hands.

Meng Chuan immediately read the introductions regarding transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies.

They were: Thirteen Swordbane Fiend Body, Great Strength Fiend Body, Samsara Divine Body, Azure Lotus Divine Body, Archean Divine Body, Phoenix Divine Body, Dragon Divine Body, Eon Sea Fiend Body, Lightning Devastator Fiend Body, Two World Divine Body, Black Sand Fiend Body, and Indestructible Divine Body. They were all extremely powerful and difficult to cultivate.

Thirteen Swordbane Fiend Body was known as the strongest Godfiend body for one-on-one combat. Only mortals who cultivated the Wind Divine Body or Golden Body could cultivate it. They needed to achieve Sword Intent before finding thirteen different baneful auras. Thirteen Swordbanes would form from the thirteen different baneful auras once they have successfully fused with one’s Sword Intent. With the thirteen Swordbanes, one could begin cultivating the Thirteen Swordbane Fiend Body.

However, the process of fusing Sword Intent with baneful aura was something many geniuses couldn’t withstand. The baneful aura would enter their brains, making it difficult for them to control themselves. All they could do was nullify the Swordbanes and switch to other Godfiend formulas.

Once someone mastered it, they would be skilled with domains. They could use the thirteen Swordbanes to kill enemies several kilometers away! They could also engage in melee combat as well. The thirteen Swordbanes could condense into one, and the sword’s power was inconceivable.

In a one-on-one fight, their opponent wouldn’t be able to touch them. They could attack from afar with the Swordbanes. The Thirteen Swordbane Fiend Body was also terrifying in melee combat. Thus it was indeed the strongest Godfiend body for one-on-one battles.

…

Great Strength Fiend Body had the greatest strength amongst the transcendent-grade Fiend Bodies! When standing on the ground, one’s strength was unimaginable. One’s strength would be halved if they were in the air. Even at half strength, it was still the strongest among all the Godfiend bodies. From this, one could see how strong one would be on land.

Only those who cultivated the Golden Divine Body or the Earth Divine Body could cultivate it…

…

Phoenix Divine Body was the most terrifying among transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies when it came to an all-out battle. By burning one’s lifeforce to use Phoenix’s Nirvana, its power stood atop all Godfiends. However, the price was immense. An expert with a Phoenix Divine Body wouldn’t use this technique unless they were in a dire situation.

This Godfiend body formula could only be cultivated by someone who had awakened a phoenix bloodline.

…

The Dragon Divine Body was similar to the Phoenix Divine Body. It could only be cultivated by someone who had awakened a dragon god bloodline.

Godfiend Bodies which required bloodlines were limited to the Phoenix Divine Body and the Dragon Divine Body. Since bloodlines could be inherited, humans hoped for the Phoenix Divine Body Godfiends and Dragon Divine Body Godfiends to have more children.

…

Every formula had stringent requirements that had to be met before one could begin cultivating them.

There are only two transcendent-grade formulas that are suitable for me—Lightning Devastator Fiend Body and Eon Sea Fiend Body. Meng Chuan flipped through the book in his hand. Eh, Lightning Devastator Fiend Body seems to have the same name as the Lightning Devastator Saber art. Could they be related?

Meng Chuan smiled and carefully read the descriptions regarding the two transcendent-grade Godfiend Bodies.

…

The Lightning Devastator Fiend Body was the fastest amongst transcendent-grade Fiend bodies. They could release lightning and baneful auras from afar. They could also kill enemies in melee combat. Their strikes were as fast as lightning, making them a force to be reckoned.

By relying on speed, they could commit terrifying massacres.

The Lightning Devastator Fiend Body required mortals to cultivate the Lightning Divine Body. One also needed to reach the Realm of Intent. Once one was prepared enough, they would draw seven bolts of heavenly lightning into their body. They would then enter the Godfiend Blood Pool, use the heavenly lightning to refine their bodies—that were filled with baneful aura—and attain the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body. One required a robust foundation, Intent, and baneful aura—which was difficult to find—to cultivate the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body.

But that wasn’t all. The most dangerous thing was the baneful aura. If one couldn’t withstand the baneful aura, it would cause chaos in one’s mind. Furthermore, they had to challenge the Life-and-Death juncture whilst doing all this. If one’s body wasn’t strong enough, they would be blasted into smithereens by the seven bolts of lightning.
