Chapter 296 - Lack Of Concept (2/2)

“Could it be that you’ve already exceeded Soul Splitting and have reached the Boundary Transition stage?” Lei Yu’s eyes widened as he swallowed a few times.

One could only see the bull-head shake his head again, “Let’s put it this way: If you and Romon still haven’t come by now, I’m afraid you guys won’t be able to see me anymore.”

Lei Yu was in complete and utter shock. “Could it be…”

“That’s right; I’ve already reached the Immortal World’s last realm, the Mahayana stage!”

“Heavens!”

Lei Yu was the only one present that was shocked. When Romon first heard about it, the look on his face was no less than Lei Yu’s current expression.

What kind of concept was the Mahayana stage? There was no such thing within Lei Yu’s mind. Could it be an existence that can blot out the heavens with a single hand? ¹ Although Lei Yu wasn’t sure why Minotaur Linos and Telephassa usually never stepped out of the Southern Wild Lands, there has to be a reason behind this and Lei Yu believes they will eventually reveal this to him. ¹

The bull-head lightly smiled, “For me to have achieved my current levels, it was all thanks to the God of War Ares. I focused my studies on the Thirty-six Lunar Star technique, and now I have thoroughly understood the combination of the six groups of six lunar stars. And that’s why I am feared by all.”

Lei Yu had always thought the attack method of the Thirty-six Lunar Star technique was ingenious, one could even use the word “exquisite” to describe it. But he never expected by focusing on this technique would allow a person to have such achievements.

He was shocked but Lei Yu wasn’t going to envy the bull-head. He believes that eventually, he too would have such achievements. By then, he will truly become an existence that stood at the peak. Lei Yu wasn’t trying to seek wealth or any type of vanity; it was just because this had always been his dream.

Lei Yu vividly recalled all that has experienced. If it weren’t for the fact he wasn’t strong enough, all those unfortunate things would never have happened. Even if it was merely for the reason to protect those around him, Lei Yu would still have strict demands for himself.

“Let’s go back to her previous conversation...” Lei Yu had wanted to change subject but the bull-head would naturally not forget so easily. “I feel that when the time comes, it’s more appropriate if I accompany you.”

It was natural for one to seek help; at least it would lessen the risks. But since the Void Immortal allowed him to leave, this was similar to setting a gentleman’s agreement. If Lei You couldn’t even get out of this situation himself, most likely everyone in the Immortal World would think Lei Yu was hiding behind the backing of the bull-head. By that time, even when he relies on his own hard work to gain achievements, everyone would think it was only from the help of the bull-head. And that’s something Lei Yu didn’t want to happen.

“It’s still early now, how about we discuss this in two years?” Asked Lei Yu.

“That’s fine.” The bull-head nodded.

“Help me with a favor: For the next two years, I need a quiet place so that I can concentrate on my cultivation.” Said Lei Yu.

“That’s simple; in the rear of the city is the Devil King’s castle. That’s where Kalchas is also staying.” Said the bull-head.

“Prophet Kalchas? He’s cultivating there as well?” It was only now that Lei Yu was reminded this person was here as well.

“Correct. His strength is merely at the mid Nascent Soul stage so he has to increase it or else I won’t be able to give him any responsibilities.”

Lei Yu nodded. In the Mortal World, a person’s status was determined by their cultivation level. It was the same in the Immortal World. If you weren’t strong enough, you will certainly be ignored by others. Even if you had the best talent, you still had to work hard on cultivating in order to become successful. This was a rule and a fact that couldn’t be changed, no matter which place a person was from.

As night was approaching, everyone in the city was celebrating the return of their totem Lightning. All the demonic cultivators were told by those that knew the whole story about the newcomer Lei Yu. This caused them to hold incomparable reverence to Lei Yu whose cultivation level wasn’t very high.

At the highest loft of the castle, the bull-head stood there looking like a mighty being. His hand was holding onto a cup of alcohol he brewed himself, “What is our totem?!”
