Chapter 137 - Getting Away (2/2)

Hu Qimei and Yu Xuanji looked at each other and turned in shame. They were working together with Zhong Yue so that they could snipe the other competitors, but in their hearts, they still viewed each other as opponents in the end.

When they arrived at the Black Mountain's secret realm, Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei even reminded themselves that when they ran into Zhong Yue, they would have to use their full strength to fight him for the name of the disciple of Saint City Lord.

However, out of their expectations, Zhong Yue had actually saved them twice, leaving them disquieted upon considering their hostile attitudes in retrospect.

"Brother Long Yue, you will be my friend forever!" said the laughing Yu Xuanji as he raised his hands and shook hands with Zhong Yue.

"Same here!" said Hu Qimei as she did the same thing with Zhong Yue.

"By the way, why did the palace collapse? Could it be that a huge creature was sealed beneath it?"

Yu Xuanji looked from afar and lamented, "Countless secrets are buried under the ruins of the palace as it collapsed. The hidden truths are now hidden away from everyone."

Zhong Yue replied, "I've triggered some seals in the palace which triggered a chain reaction that ultimately ended in the palace's collapse."

Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei felt confused as the scene back then did not look like the work of seals. It was more like an unknown monster that went off on a rampage around the palace. However, considering their debt of gratitude towards Zhong Yue, they no longer probed seeing as Zhong Yue was loath to delve into details."

Zhong Yue's psyche ocean billowed as the spiritual power from the jade liquid continued the baptism of his atman, making his atman's cultivation base stronger a few tenfold. Although he had yet to acquire the combat Yuan Shen, leaving his atman as a mere supporting instrument in his battles, it was now tens of times more terrifying and magnificent than before!

He could even feel that the energy within his atman had already surpassed the limits of his own body, reaching a level almost as strong as the Awakening level Qi Practitioners' combat Yuan Shen!

The most crucial thing was that due to the fact that he visualized the Sui Sovereign and Flame Order Palace together, he did not waste any single bit of the spiritual power of the jade liquid as he absorbed them completely hundred percent.

As such, his atman had reached about the length of sixty feet, a result equivalent to almost three or four years of cultivation!

And the jade liquid was still improving his Yuan Shen, strengthening it!

At this rate, I will be able to achieve the peak level of the Rebirth level in at most half an hour of time!

The Rebirth level Qi Practitioners mainly focused on cultivating their spirit to achieve the Spirit-Body as One level so that they could ascend to the Awakening level atop a sturdy foundation.

Then, in the Awakening level, Qi Practitioners would have to cultivate their spirit into the combat Yuan Shen and to achieve the five elemental wheel, infinity wheel and the other secret levels pertaining to the Yuan Shen. Due to this, their Yuan Shen must be incredibly strong and if the spirit was not strong enough, they would be able to open their wheels. The reason why some Qi Practitioners were stuck in the Rebirth level for eternity because their spirit level increased way too slowly, leaving their spirit too weak to open their wheels and the secret level of Yuan Shen.

Zhong Yue's heart thumped quickly in shock at the rapid surge of increasing power. The jade liquid helped him achieve something that would typically take others a few tens of years to achieve in a very short period of time!

Sixty feet, seventy feet, eighty feet….

His atman continued to grow and as he visualized Sui Sovereign and Flame Order Palace, he absorbed even more spiritual power and he transmitted it into every part of his atman and nourished the sun and moon spirit.

"Brother Long Yue, after you slew King Teng, Heaven Monster Li Jun came here to kill you."

Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei got up and walked towards the outside of the Black Mountain's secret realm together with Zhong Yue while reiterating the incident to Zhong Yue. Yu Xuanji then said as he panted, "He wanted to take advantage of your exhausted state, but he was unable to enter the Ming King palace and then left in humiliation. Now, after receiving the heritage of Ming King, I am sure that with his temperament, he will definitely come back looking for trouble with you."

"Other than that, he is very famous among the monsters in the Xian Kong Saint City and he is the secret disciple of the Saint City Lord. In his view, we are peasants and he is the main character. However, after seeing you kill King Teng and revealing your power, he has deemed that your existence is a threat to his previously infallible position. He will not let you go easily for sure!"

Hu Qimei said with a pale face, "After he and we arrive at the city, he will definitely stir a ruckus in an attempt to kill you because he has the confidence that can do so. After all, he had already been cultivating the [Monster God Ming King's Art] far longer than you. But as time passes, the chances of him killing you will be lower."

Yu Xuanji coughed and said, "Therefore, after arriving at the city, if he provokes you, you must refrain from acting recklessly for at least another two or three years. Only then, are you return to beat the shit out of him!"

Zhong Yue nodded and he replied, "Thanks for the advice, but is he really such a person?"

Hu Qimei shook her head and replied, "He is the best-looking man in the monsters and enjoys a huge number of supporters and maintains good relationships with many factions. But who knew he was such an insidious individual! Back then, I'll admit that he caused my heart to flutter. I would've even shamelessly screamed in happiness if he were to simply smile at me. But now… all I want is to spit in his face!"

Yu Xuanji then replied, "Although the truth is as such, his strength is undoubtedly superior to King Teng and he is definitely the strongest Rebirth level Qi Practitioner for sure. Brother Long Yue, restrain yourself for a moment and plan your course of action after becoming the final disciple of the Saint City Lord. If you were killed by him, then everything would be in vain!"

Zhong Yue nodded again and replied, "Don't worry. I will."
