Chapter 107 - Dazzling (1/2)

The Treasure Repository was a special place on Archean Mountain. Large amounts of treasures and resources were stored here. It had plenty of stewards and servants.

Lightning Devastator Fiend Body, Eighth Refinement? Three stewards and ten servants—who were in charge of serving the disciples on this floor—heard what Meng Chuan said. They were secretly astonished. They had been stationed at the Treasure Repository for a long time, and they knew that it had been many years since somebody—who had completed the Eighth Refinement of the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body—had appeared.

“I’ve been stationed at the Treasure Repository for almost sixty years. I’ve never seen a disciple that had completed the Eighth Refinement.”

“Lord Meng Chuan has only been on the mountain for a year, and he’s completed the Eighth Refinement. I bet that Lord Meng family’s future achievements will be in no way lesser than King Calm Sea’s fifth son.”

The two stewards behind the counter looked at Meng Chuan and secretly talked via voice transmission.

Those who could become stewards were at least Seamless realm experts. Some of them were even at the Core Condensation realm.

Soon, a linen-clothed elder came from upstairs. It was Elder Yi.

“Elder Yi,” greeted Meng Chuan respectfully.

“You completed the Eighth Refinement?” Elder Yi smiled amiably.

“I just mastered it yesterday,” answered Meng Chuan honestly.

Elder Yi nodded gently. With his strength, he could tell that the Golden Crow baneful aura had fused with his body completely. He immediately instructed, “Go, get a bottle of Six Desires baneful aura.”

“Yes,” the cyan-robed man replied respectfully.

“The Six Desires baneful aura is painstakingly collected from mortal cities,” said Elder Yi. “Every bottle has nine baneful aura wisps. It isn’t found easily. Only absorb it when you are confident of refining it! Don’t waste it.”

Meng Chuan nodded respectfully. “I understand.”

Soon, the cyan-robed man brought out a red porcelain bottle. After receiving it, Elder Yi handed it to Meng Chuan. “This Six Desires baneful aura is the last type you need for tempering your body. It’s also the most special one. It has the greatest impact on one’s consciousness. You have to temper your will first. If you can’t reach the threshold, don’t absorb it. Otherwise, it might affect your mind. It won’t be surprising if it affects you for decades. Once your willpower reaches the threshold, you can attempt to refine the baneful aura.”

“I will remember your advice.” Meng Chuan had read the books long ago. He knew how dangerous the Ninth Refinement was. If he absorbed the baneful aura while his will was weak, he would transform into a lunatic controlled by his desires. Even if he were saved by Archean Mountain Godfiends, the negative effects on his mind could last for decades or even a lifetime.

…

Meng Chuan next prepared to temper his will! He hoped that his willpower would quickly reach the threshold of refining the Six Desires baneful aura.

I’ll rest for a day and let my mental state return to normal. I’ll go to the Darkness Altar tomorrow and see how far I can reach. Meng Chuan placed the Six Desires baneful aura bottle into a cabinet within his cave abode before closing it. I’ve been on the mountain for a year now. I wonder how much my willpower has improved.

This year, he cultivated his saber arts diligently every day. He attained Saber Intent and learned the Heart Saber Stance. He had experienced 120 days of torment brought by the Golden Crow baneful aura.

This year, he had also gotten engaged to Liu Qiyue.

However, he did not know how much his willpower had improved in the past year.

…

25th December, early morning.

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue arrived at Grotto-Heaven Pavilion together. Today, the Supremacy would give a lecture. Now, there were 279 disciples inside Grotto-Heaven Pavilion.

New disciples had arrived! Some old disciples had passed the Nine Mystical Caves and left. Meng Chuan was now considered a senior disciple after being on the mountain for a year.

When Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue entered the pavilion, a steward immediately came forward and said with a smile, “Lady Liu Qiyue, your position has changed slightly. Please follow me.” The seating arrangement had changed since new disciples had joined. There were new disciples with extremely high talent.

Meng Chuan remained in the same spot—he was still in the first row.

Ever since he mastered the Heart Saber Stance and reached the Seventh Refinement, he had been in the first row. Xue Feng, Xiao Yunyue, and the other Godfiends—who had attained transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies—were all seated in the first row. Some who had mastered a transcendent-grade Godfiend body were in the second or third row.

Liu Qiyue sat behind, to Meng Chuan’s left. She could definitely attain a perfected Phoenix Divine Body. She just needed more time.
