Chapter 316 - The Strange Wooden Door (2/2)

“Quickly get up!” Ceng Hong quickly went forth to support him up. Lei Yu’s salute was necessary because he wasn’t even the descendant of the Ceng family. He was already feeling quite guilty from pretending to be a Ceng family member so he was going to find a time to explain everything. Even if he was beaten or killed, Lei Yu wasn’t going to hide it anymore since it wasn’t fair for Ceng Hong.

“Senior Ceng Hong, what do you want to ask?” Lei Yu waved his hand and Nuo Hu ran over. Nuo Hu already knew what Lei Yu wanted and immediately withdrew some clean clothes from the storage ring. Ai Er and Bao Er both turned around and a few seconds later, Lei Yu had already put on the clothes.

“How come five years ago, your strength had already reached the Fusion Soul stage? I remember before that, you should still be at the early Gold Core stage right?” Ceng Hong’s question wasn’t strange because Big White had never told him about Lei Yu’s extreme improvement speeds.

Lei Yu laughed. Since the people present weren’t those he needed to hide things from, he then explained: “That’s because I had the help with a lot of strange occurrences. Why those strange things happened to me? I don’t know, but there are two things that can be explained. Firstly, the essence of the Dragon Vein helped my improvement speed quite a lot.”

“Essence of the Dragon Vein?” Ceng Hong couldn’t control himself and exclaimed out loud.

“Master, the young master by coincidence was able to absorb the power from a Dragon Vein, that’s why he improves so fast when it comes to cultivating. You actually don’t know but young master has only been cultivating for less than fifteen years so far.” Big White added while standing in the rear.

“This… this is too inconceivable!” Ceng Hong gasped. At first he didn’t quite understand why Lei Yu had so many problems but now he realized the cause. Lei Yu possessed a Dragon Vein; therefore he was a candidate that all major powers want to win over.

“There’s also the miraculous encounter inside the Devil King’s Castle.” Said Lei Yu.

“The Devil King’s Castle you are referring to…?”

“Many centuries ago in the most southern part of the Immortal World, there was a devil cultivator that had reached the Mahayana stage. I don’t know his name but I know that everyone calls him the Devil King. The castle he possesses is completely made out of crystal stones, which means there’s an abundance of spiritual energy there making one’s cultivation speed improve faster!”

“I too have heard of this person, but he inexplicably disappeared a few hundred years ago.” Ceng Hong recalled from memory.

“That’s right. But my friend Minotaur Linos who is the Immortal Realm’s only demonic cultivator to have reached the Mahayana stage, now controls the Devil King’s Castle. With his permission, I entered the castle to cultivate.”

“You’re saying you have a demonic cultivator friend at the Mahayana stage?!”

“Is that for real?”

“That’s too incredible!”

Everyone present stared with big round eyes. Ai Er then grabbed Lei Yu’s arm, “Brother Yu, how come you have such a powerful friend yet didn’t have him help you out back then?”

Nuo Hu laughed, “Ai Er, do you still not understand little Yu? He doesn’t like it when people gossip about him and he also doesn’t like to bring his troubles to others. So many things happened in the past yet didn’t he go about solving them all on his own?”

Lei Yu smiled with a nod. Although he didn’t hang around this big brother of his that much, but this big brother completely understood his ways of thinking.

Lei Yu’s way of doing things were his personal whim yet still gained the admiration of others. A person that only relied on his own strength was someone that deserved the respect of others.

It was a while before everyone recovered their senses from being so shocked. Ceng Hong then asked: “But that still doesn’t explain how you could reach the Soul Fusion stage in a short two years. That’s a little hard to believe!”

“There’s a strange wooden door inside the Devil King’s Castle. At first I didn’t bother too much with it but it was during the later times that I managed to pry into the secrets behind it.”
