Chapter 186: Qi Yuan's Impatience
Chapter 186: Qi Yuan's Impatience
In the Thundercloud Valley, Shen Lei, the Thunder God Venerable, bathed in the midst of thunder, his emaciated body causing him to sigh, "This thunder is too weak, it's useless for healing my injuries."
Seventy years ago, one of his friends betrayed the Ancient Deities and joined the Evil Deity camp, causing Shen Lei to fly into a rage and take action.
He fought two Great Venerables alone, severely injuring his friend.
However, his own injuries were far more severe.
"Living for three hundred years is not bad," Shen Lei murmured, feeling his body.
His injuries were too severe.
After all, a Great Venerable's lifespan is usually measured in hundreds of thousands of years.
Three hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.
Just then, an aged voice sounded.
"Shen Lei, it's been a long time." It was the white-haired elder who had just finished speaking with the White Venerable.
Shen Lei's eyebrows twitched as a thunderbolt struck the white-haired elder.
"At your age, don't you know to knock before entering? My body is not for your amusement," the white-haired elder said, not angry but rather amused.
"Shen Lei, you've always wanted a successor, haven't you? I've brought one for you," the white-haired elder said.
Hearing this, Shen Lei frowned, "Too weak, I'd rather not."
"He's not weak at all. If it weren't for the need to cultivate the Heavenly Mandate Son, such a promising talent, I wouldn't have given him to you." The white-haired elder then informed Shen Lei about Qi Yuan.
"A legend?" Shen Lei was surprised.
A single legendary-level Divine Observation Technique could almost create a Great Venerable.
"According to him, there are three more True Deities," the white-haired elder added.
Shen Lei lowered his head, muttering, "I've never heard of these True Deities."
"Perhaps they are from a divine lineage that has never appeared on the front lines," Shen Lei speculated.
The Hongtang War not only involved direct combat but also had divine lineages carrying heavy responsibilities, hidden and nameless.
"None of that matters. I'm asking you, are you satisfied with this disciple?"
"So-so," Shen Lei replied, but his mustache was already twitching.
"The True Deities he visualized are unknown to others. Perhaps he also knows some deities in charge of thunder, and if he can visualize them, it might help treat your injuries."
"Haha, you're quite bold. At least a legendary-level Divine Observation Technique is needed," Shen Lei kicked the white-haired elder, "I'm getting dressed, get out!"
The white-haired elder chuckled, "Shen Lei, don't be as reckless as before."
Shen Lei has always been impulsive, like a reckless man.
If he hadn't been so impulsive, fighting two Great Venerables alone, he wouldn't have suffered such severe injuries.
"Do I need your advice?" Shen Lei glared at the white-haired elder.
"I've taken on a disciple, and that young man will have a hard time in the future.
I guess every day, he'll be urging his Master to be cautious, to be careful, not to be reckless," the white-haired elder said with a smile.
"Get out, I need to prepare to leave!" Shen Lei said.
Even he had to be cautious when going to the Occupied Zone.
Otherwise, he might face the same fate.
There was more than one Great Venerable in the Occupied Zone.
And in the North, there was even a Great Venerable at the level of Heaven Treading Fifth Step.
A Great Venerable of this level, Shen Lei didn't dare to think about defeating, let alone fighting.
It could be said that they could easily annihilate him.
One day later.
Flying Desert City.
Wang Wenqi gazed at the rain outside the window, forming a string of pearls, her eyes filled with worry.
She thought of Jiang Kingdom, her family, and her great-grandfather.
The maid beside her was also moved by the scene, "Miss, when will we leave Flying Desert City? I want to see the heavy snow in the Jiang Kingdom."
Currently, the Lin Kingdom was experiencing rain, while the Jiang Kingdom was covered in snow.
Wang Wenqi stared at the snow outside the window, her eyes fixed in a daze, "I don't know."
Originally, she had come to Flying Desert City according to her great-grandfather's instructions to seek the Origin Heavenly Venerable.
But now, the Origin Heavenly Venerable had chosen to collude with the New Gods.
Her great-grandfather had died at the hands of the Evil Deity, so she wouldn't give her great-grandfather's belongings to the Origin Heavenly Venerable.
Today, at the City Lord's Mansion, she had met many important figures from Flying Desert City, including the Ancient Deity, Weak Feather, from Shi Sha Town.
Everyone was extremely wary of the Origin Heavenly Venerable.
Most of them believed that the Origin Heavenly Venerable had chosen to live cautiously and collaborate with the New Gods.
If it were before, she might have had other thoughts about those who chose to live cautiously and collaborate with the New Gods.
But the betrayal of her great-grandfather by his friend from the Lu Kingdom had left a thorn in her heart.
She also felt resentment towards the Origin Heavenly Venerable.
"It's all the fault of that Origin Heavenly Venerable, colluding with the New Gods!" The maid couldn't help but speak up.
If the Origin Heavenly Venerable was still a good Ancient Deity.
The young lady would have given her great-grandfather's belongings to the Origin Heavenly Venerable, helping him become powerful, and then take revenge.
But now, with this change, the young lady felt lost about her future, even desperate.
Even she had this feeling.
Just then, footsteps approached.
A man holding an umbrella walked through the curtain of water.
He raised the umbrella a little higher, revealing a handsome and refined face.
Wang Wenqi was surprised to see the man, and then she heard him say, "Have you met the Treasure Heaven Venerable?"
Wang Wenqi was startled, then nodded, "I've met my great-grandfather, but not much."
"Among the living, who is most familiar with him?" The man asked again.
Anger flashed in Wang Wenqi's eyes, "The Lu Kingdom, Zhang Feng!"
"A True Deity?"
"A True Deity at Heaven Treading Third Step!"
"Then... his memories of the Treasure Heaven Venerable must be profound," the man murmured.
Then, he looked at Wang Wenqi.
"I'm Qi Yuan, a friend of your great-grandfather.
Wang Wenqi, do you want to slay a deity?"
Wang Wenqi's eyes widened, her chest rising and falling due to tension or excitement.
The maid beside her was anxious, "Miss, he's the Origin Heavenly Venerable, who has colluded with the Evil Deity!"
Wang Wenqi looked into Qi Yuan's clear eyes, and she reached out her hand.
"I... want to!"
She leaped down from the windowsill, splashing water everywhere.
As the day of the new deity's arrival drew nearer, unease spread through Flying Wasteland City.
Huang Mengying's expression was grim, and she looked exhausted.
"The Origin Heavenly Venerable is so stubborn; there's no convincing him!" Weak Feather lowered his head and spoke.
More than being unconvincing, they were actually afraid to try.
"I think the Origin Heavenly Venerable might be plotting against the new deity," Nan Gong Wuji said to Qi Yuan. "Otherwise, Miss Wang Wenqi wouldn't be willing to go to Green Water Village with him."
Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent.
Weak Feather continued, "He's incredibly bold. That's a True Deity with three Divine Apertures opened. How dare he plot against one!"
Weak Feather was genuinely perplexed.
Just then, a faint voice echoed, "Three days from now... The Great Plague Deity will descend. I'll make a move then, as a favor to that young friend."
The familiar voice sent a thrill through the crowd.
"Round God, you've awakened!"
"Divine Lord, you've finally awakened!"
They were overjoyed, but there was no response.
The Round God once again fell into slumber.
However, their hearts were now filled with a glimmer of hope.
If the Round God were to make a move, then in three days... they wouldn't be without a chance.
At the same time, in Green Water Village, Qi Yuan gazed at the altar before him, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. "The Great Plague Deity will descend here in three days?"
The Evil Deity, thin and small, looked malnourished. "Yes."
Qi Yuan, this demon, filled him with dread.
Hearing this, Qi Yuan's eyes lit up with a smile. "I can't wait for time to pass quickly. I wish the day after tomorrow would come sooner."
What kind of feast would be appropriate for the fall of a True Deity? Even holding it in a small town like Gale Town would be an insult to the gods.
Regardless, Flying Wasteland City would be the perfect place for such a grand event.
The Evil Deity beside Qi Yuan shivered at his words.
Qi Yuan sat on a stone, not knowing how much time had passed.
Just then, someone ran up to his side and whispered something.
Qi Yuan's face turned to astonishment. "Is the Round God about to make his move?"
By Qi Yuan's side, Wang Wenqi held a lute, her fingers plucking its strings.
"Do you think the Great Plague Deity will be scared off and not descend?" Qi Yuan asked Wang Wenqi.
He hadn't spread word of his plan regarding the Great Plague Deity.
What if the Great Plague Deity was a timid rabbit with a small heart, and he got scared? That's why, up until now, he had only let Wang Wenqi visualize the Divine Observation of the Guardian King and hadn't allowed her to consume the Innate Treasure to break through into the True Deity Realm.
This time, Wang Wenqi had come to him and brought five treasures that could help her achieve a Complete Purple Mansion and break through to the True Deity Realm.
Although Qi Yuan had never met the Treasure Heaven Venerable, he felt a deep sense of gratitude.
He also remembered the name Zhang Feng.
"He probably won't. The Round God has been severely injured and comatose. Even if he awakens, he won't have much strength."
"That's good. I was afraid... that he'd be too timid to descend."
The ceremony at the altar continued.
In the mysterious space, a voice resounded.
"Great Plague Deity, are you still going down there? Aren't you afraid someone might be plotting against you?"
"Hmph! If I were that timid, I wouldn't have achieved the True Deity Realm!"
"Then why are you forcing it, despite the consumption of your divine power, and descending ahead of schedule?"
"That kid is very strange. I can't give him more time to prepare."
"May the Great Plague Deity have a smooth journey!"
The Great Plague Deity paid no heed and directly entered the thin membrane.
Instantly, the sound of a massive heartbeat and chewing filled his ears.
The divine energy of the Great Plague Deity surged.
Above the three Divine Apertures, a powerful light shone brightly.
"So hungry, so hungry, I'm starving!" The Great Plague Deity couldn't help but roar.
An intense hunger overwhelmed him, and he was tempted to cut off his own flesh and eat it.
After an unknown amount of time, the Great Plague Deity, unable to bear the hunger any longer, suddenly burst into laughter.
"Mundane Heart World... I've finally arrived!"
At that moment, in the night of Gale Town, a colossal shadow appeared.
It roared with abandon, its expression filled with joy.
The aura of a True Deity enveloped the entire world, as if a layer of mist had been cast over everything.
In that instant, the entire town was shocked.
"The Great Plague Deity has descended ahead of schedule!"
"Impossible!"
At the same time, in the lord's mansion of Flying Wasteland City, the powerful figures sensed this aura, and their faces paled.
"The Great Plague Deity!"
"He's descended early!"
"He must have sensed a threat. We're doomed!"
"Where's the Round God? Hasn't he awakened yet?"
Huang Mengying gazed at the terrifying figure in the sky, her expression particularly grim. "The Round God... can't awaken in time. It's up to the Origin Heavenly Venerable now."
Hearing this, everyone present felt a heavy weight in their hearts, sensing the immense crisis.
At that moment, Qi Yuan stared at the terrifying figure in the sky, also surprised. "He finally has some sense, but not much."
Seeing this, Wang Wenqi beside him immediately swallowed the Yinsheng Stone.
Instantly, the spiritual power within her body transformed into divine power.
A Divine Aperture quickly formed.
The True Deity Realm... was within reach! Just then, Qi Yuan's face suddenly changed. "Not good! Someone's stealing the kill!"
A hearty laughter echoed, "My dear disciple, I've brought you a gift!"
In the Nine Heavens above, vast thunder descended, and terrifying thunder serpents appeared, each capable of slaying a deity.
Qi Yuan shouted, "Please, leave him some life! Don't steal the kill!"
In truth, he wanted to curse the other party for being shameless, but the other party was a Great Venerable! When he was the Moon Gazing Grandmaster, he understood the power and terror of Great Venerables.
Anyone beneath the fourth step of the Heaven-Stepping Technique was like an ant, not to be trifled with.
The difference between a Great Venerable and a Venerable lay in the Divine Realm. Within the Divine Realm, a Great Venerable could slay a Venerable with a single move.
That's why, at this moment, Qi Yuan chose to back down.
The Great Plague Deity was both hungry and scared, but he had endured a thousand hardships to descend.
And what did he encounter?
A Great Venerable!
A Great Venerable was squatting on him, a Heaven-Stepping One with three Divine Apertures. Was this fair?
"You... have no shame!"
