Chapter 525 - The Sacred Dragon Force Must Not Be Offended (1/2)
Although his speculations were right…how could Elder Ancestor Bai own up to them?
He had fooled many important figures from the upper realm, which was why he was able to gain approval from the Heavenly Axiom of this realm, and was granted with rare Heavenly Merits.
As a result, he made unbelievable progress on the path to godhood, and advanced like a rocket. Besides, the Greater Rat Demon Clan grew stronger rapidly, which shocked quite a number of those who knew all about gods.
These people would never be able to put together the reason behind his smooth sail in his cultivation path.
This was the advantage he obtained by exchanging the blood and the lives of important figures from the upper realm.
As long as he cultivated, he could never be free from Heaven and Earth.
Those who obeyed the mandate of Heaven would live in peace, while those who defied it would have to work hard.
During the Era of Technology of this world, “Heaven” was the “law of nature”. If one violated the law of nature, the consequences faced would be just like the many examples from educational books.
Throughout nearly 20 years of lurking in China’s Truth Department, Elder Ancestor Bai had not been a good-for-nothing. By utilizing the department’s channels, he laid out layers of traps at various locations with frail space barriers.
In order to assure his advantageous position as the first transmigrator, he exterminated his competitors, which was both highly beneficial for him and for the Heaven and Earth here. It gave them time to adapt and to adjust.
One who harmed others without benefiting oneself was an incorrigible idiot, one who harmed others to benefit oneself was an opportunist. One who neither harmed others nor benefited oneself was a mediocrity, one who benefited both others and oneself was a wise man; but the one who benefited oneself and profited Heaven must be a divine being.
At this moment, while focusing on his defense, he verbally attacked Ling Yunzi.
“Soaring Cloud Leader, you’re a powerful leader too, why are you being so overbearing? I had neither enmity against you in the past nor rancor in recent times, why would I harm you? We’re both from the upper realm, so we’re both guests in this realm. We should advance forth hand in hand, to be able to live here peacefully.”
Upon hearing that, the water mist figure was not moved at all, he continued attacking.
In just a brief moment’s time, a voice was heard from within the water mist.
“Hmph, Greater Rat Clan Leader, you don’t have to go on with your smooth, clever talk. Before coming, I’ve done my homework. So far, there were a total of twenty-seven powerhouses who descended from the upper realm to Earth. After they descended, only three of them survived. Evidently, somebody has been killing them secretly, is there anyone else with a motive and the power to do so other than you, the ambitious person who was the first to descend?”
“There is, the one who is watching all this from Heaven, doesn’t he have the same motive and power? …” When Elder Ancestor Bai heard him, an idea came to his mind, he immediately pointed at the sky with one hand, then announced confidently.
“Uh…” The water mist figure was startled upon hearing that, he could not help but look up. As if he was hesitating, he stopped attacking.
In that spur of a moment, Elder Ancestor Bai had already taken the opportunity to flee underground, and completely vanished from sight.
For him, it would be better to keep these meaningless battles to a minimum. Just like over a year ago when he was able to tolerate Vigilante A, he could also tolerate Ling Yunzi who was so reputable in the upper realm.
“Damn it, I got distracted by your incessant talking. Vigilante A is an idiot who lives on his own by the name of justice, it’s true that he has such motives but he’s born a hero, he won’t use these sneaky tricks…”
Before he even finished his sentence, a Heavenly Sword came down from the sky, and pierced through the water mist figure’s heart coldly.
“Curse you, how dare you mount a sneak attack too, can you still call yourself a hero, aren’t you afraid that it’ll obstruct your cultivation path?!” The water mist figure uttered these words with immense effort.
“To counter despicable villains like you who bully others with your strength, there’s no need for me to use heroic measures! Besides, didn’t the old rat just remind you that I’m watching from above? How can you say that it’s a sneak attack?” Vigilante A transformed from the Heavenly Sword as he replied faintly.
“…” The water mist figure fluttered in the air.
System Notification: [The System eradicated Ling Yunzi’s cloud mist body double.]
[The System gained some experience points.]
[The System gained bountiful Heroic Fame.]
[The System’s fame in an extraterritorial map increased.]
“Damn it, this old Daoist’s body double is different from Zhi Nan the bald monk. Each time I wreck that fellow, I’ll gain ten billion experience points. As for this fellow, it’s always so little, he’s not much different from a little monster.” Sir commented angrily.
Fang Ning pondered a while after hearing that, he then answered, “Oh, I think this is exactly the difference between them. Zhi Nan is a demon lord, so his body double is almost equivalent to a normal life, which has extremely profound wisdom too. On the other hand, this fellow’s body double is just transformed from his magic, attached with some spiritual controls, which is the same as a tool. When you wreck a machine, the maxim won’t give you any experience points.”
“Oh, that’s true.” Sir confirmed.
Before Fang Ning could even feel proud of himself, the Sir was still unwilling to let this go. “Where is this old man’s real body then? I asked you to look into the whereabouts of this old man’s real body and Zhi Nan’s real body, you were quite forthright when you agreed to it two days ago but all you’ve been doing is playing games or sleep. When are you going to drag this until?”
“Uh… Wait a moment, I’ll look for his possible hiding spots for you right away.” Fang Ning did laze around in his bed a lot but he had learned his lesson, thus he had delegated the task to Anderson before he went to sleep.
In actual fact, even if he did not do so, Anderson was also about to start gathering intelligence information on Ling Yunzi.
After all, this was a truly tough enemy to handle. In certain perspectives, Demon Lord Zhi Nan could not be compared with him.
By only setting their body doubles side by side, the latter could only rely on his intellect to sway over the cultivation world as he had limited resources with him.
