Chapter 214: The Fall of the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty, Partitioned! (Part 2)
Chapter 214: The Fall of the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty, Partitioned! (Part 2)
Lu Ming took out a jade slip and said, "Your subsequent cultivation technique is in here."
"It's enough to cultivate to 36,000 Mystic Gates."
"As for the later parts, I still need to ponder them."
"It's not that I won't give it to you, but there are still some parts I haven't figured out yet."
During this time, he had already created a cultivation technique to cultivate to 36,000 Mystic Gates in preparation for when Ji Chitong comes looking for him or when they meet in the future, so he can give it to her promptly.
After all...
Whether it was intentional or not, he had already taken something from her, so he couldn't just freeload, right?
"I won't say thank you."
Ji Chitong took the jade slip. "I said I won't let you suffer a loss."
She opened her storage bag and took out items while saying, "My experiences outside these past few years, you probably aren't interested in, but some of the things I obtained are still pretty good."
Before long, a pile of items, big and small, had already been placed in front of Lu Ming.
Of all kinds.
From top-quality essence stones, to various techniques, secret arts, and magical treasures, there was an abundance.
Lu Ming took a rough look.
They were all good items.
At least, not bad.
Any one of these, placed in any ordinary Profound Gate, could be considered a ‘treasure’, with several even being regarded as major treasures.
And such things, there were over thirty pieces.
"You..."
"Is this from ransacking a few minor sects' dens?"
"About the same, right?"
Ji Chitong softly murmured, "But none of that matters, and I am well aware, the value of these items far exceeds the value of subsequent techniques, but now I truly have nothing good left."
"The rest, I will get better items for you later?"
"Actually, there’s no need to be so clear-cut about it."
Lu Ming spread his hands.
"After all..."
"Nothing, really."
"Still, I should be clear about it."
Ji Chitong emphasized, "Otherwise I would look down on myself."
"Pfft, what a big deal."
Lu Ming shook his head.
"After all..."
"There’s nothing, really."
"Still, I should be clear about it."
Ji Chitong stressed, "Or I would look down on myself."
"Hey, how big a matter is this?"
Lu Ming did not insist, knowing everyone’s ideas were different, that she wanted to ‘force’, and naturally, there was no reason for refusal, so he collected these items.
Just thinking to speak some more, but saw Ji Chitong suddenly with a somewhat embarrassed look, saying, "Can you restore your original appearance?"
"?"
Lu Ming was puzzled.
But with no one around, he also did not need to hide.
Thus, dispelling the Thousand Transformations Technique.
"Hmm."
Ji Chitong smiled, "But speaking of it, sure enough, Lu Ming still looks more familiar and likable."
Lin Fan: "???"
Was that you who let me transform back?
His head was full of question marks.
But saw Ji Chitong suddenly approaching, on her beautiful face appeared a flush, eyes full of wistfulness, "Actually..."
"Actually what?"
Lin Fan scratched his head.
"Actually..."
"I can still repay a part of it."
"Ah?!"
"Stop talking, give me."
Ji Chitong waved, taking out a miniature ‘One-Room One-Hall’ from the storage bag, activating the formation within, and then pushing Lin Fan over.
Lin Fan: "(ω)..."
"This..."
"How is this any good?"
"Tsk!"
"Isn’t this what you like?"
Ji Chitong panted her teeth, gasping heavily.
"Ah, to like is to like, I admit, but...no need for it to be so."
"To like is enough."
Ji Chitong no longer spoke more.
Was it necessary to admit that after parting, so that was what?
People don’t want to lose face! Disgusting!
In the future...
Lin Fan shook his head, sighed deeply, life was unpredictable.
Ji Chitong played with the mystic items, suddenly her expression changed, saying, "I thought of another way to repay my debt!"
"What?" Lin Fan blinked, somewhat stunned.
This woman...
Thinking had jumped too far.
"Do you still have people to kill, right?"
She said with a serious expression, "Or like the Moon Embrace Sect’s power, for example."
"If so, tell me, I will think of ways to deal with them, thus, can repay part, right?"
Lin Fan: "!!!"
"Truly, there’s no need for this."
"I said there is!"
"But before that, I need to return to the Eastern Realm."
"Oh, why?"
"Revenge!"
Ji Chitong gritted her teeth, "I thought my enemies were strong, but not to this extent, with deeper investigation, more people were being killed, only to find that behind more and more people, it was like they couldn’t be killed enough."
"Eliminating sects several times, there are still more hands behind."
"But it should be soon."
"This time after returning, I estimate the truth is close, indeed, saying it out loud, you Moon-embrace sect disciple, the one who is with the same origin."
"Indeed, it is a coincidence."
Lin Fan nodded slightly, also somewhat sighing.
The grudge of the small village, entangled...it’s still significant.
Also truly far.
"In short."
Lin Fan listened, pondered, "For now, there’s no need for you to act, otherwise you would look down on me."
"Alright, as you wish."
Ji Chitong pursed mouth, "In short, if there’s a need, contact me, or else you would be looking down on me."
"Truly, not really."
Lin Fan waved repeatedly.
"Alright."
"What, now you aren’t busy, are you?"
"Not busy, really? How come to this?"
"Ah."
"Since you aren’t busy, I will get more debt."
She got up close.
"Good guy~!"
Lin Fan exclaimed, "Good guy."
After three days.
Lin Fan restored Lu Ming’s identity, and was playing with the items Ji Chitong had given.
Ji Chitong was cultivating on one side, recovering the Profound Gate.
With the aid of the Revitalizing Pills, plus the improvement in strength, the efficiency was much faster than before, almost no half an hour passed, and he could hear a ‘bang’ sound.
That was the sound of the Profound Gate reopening.
Even if it took a half an hour for a thousand Profound Gates, it would still take a considerable time.
Fortunately, Lu Ming wasn’t in a hurry, and Ji Chitong wasn’t in a rush.
Lu Ming was protecting on one side.
If Ji Chitong was tired from cultivating, she could repay the debt anytime, right~
The Cursed Book
The book's temperature was chillingly cold, far cooler than ordinary metal. It had only seven pages, but the thick cover prevented it from appearing too thin.
Upon opening it, a cold aura emanated from within.
At first glance, nothing seemed amiss.
But if one were to carefully sense it, they would feel an ominous power.
"..."
"Is this a cursed treasure?"
Lu Ming muttered to himself.
Ji Chitong paused her recovery and, seeing his interest in the book, explained, "It is indeed a cursed treasure, a middle-grade divine weapon, not too high in rank, but extremely special."
"Its curse effect isn't necessarily strong."
"It often just brings bad luck."
"But it has two very powerful features."
"First, it can curse someone even without knowing their true identity. Taking you as an example, even if the user doesn't know your real identity and only knows you as Lu Ming, they can still curse you!"
"Second, its effect is weak, just bringing 'bad luck', but precisely because of its weakness, the cursed person finds it hard to detect and identify the curser."
"When we fought against the Ghost King Sect, Qiu Yongqin suffered a huge loss because of this book."
"He was constantly cursed, feeling fine, but in reality, he was always unlucky."
"Fortunately, he managed to turn the situation around in the end."
"Otherwise, we would have all died there."
"In my opinion, this item is the most valuable thing I've given you."
"As the Sect Master, you inevitably have many enemies. Using this will bring you many benefits."
"You taking it is also quite useful." Lu Ming stared at her intently.
Ji Chitong remained unfazed, "If I give it to you, then you take it."
"A Sect Master hesitating and blocking like this, what kind of image is that?"
"..."
"Ah, right, right, right."
Lu Ming was speechless but could only spread his hands in agreement.
"In that case, I'll take it."
"Go ahead and study it, I'll continue my recovery."
Ji Chitong resumed her recovery state.
Lu Ming attempted to 'bond' with the book.
"..."
"This name is quite straightforward."
"The usage is simple. Hold the 'Bad Luck' book and communicate with its spirit. In your mind, sketch the target's appearance and identity."
"Compared to other cursed treasures, its function is indeed singular."
"It can only bring bad luck."
"And the strength of this 'bad luck' varies from person to person, and also depends on their fortune."
"..."
"This equipment is truly full of flaws."
Lu Ming couldn't help but complain in his mind, "If players had this kind of equipment description in a game, they'd curse the developers to no end."
After all, it only introduced the ability, without any numerical values.
The ability? Hard to say!
You had to use it to know!
But even after using it, one might not directly sense its effects.
"Forget it, forget it."
Holding the 'Bad Luck' book, Lu Ming pondered, "Although I don't know if it's useful, the fact that it can hide my presence is enough for it to be called a 'treasure'."
"Whether the effect is direct or not, whether it's strong or not..."
"It's still better than nothing."
"Then..."
"Let's try it on someone?"
Try it, then try it!
But who to curse?
Naturally...
Lu Ming thought of someone.
Tang Shenwang!
After all, he was a protagonist template, and after leaving Brightmoon Sect, Lu Ming wasn't sure about his current situation. As the Elder of Brightmoon Sect, 'caring' about him was reasonable, right?
Soon, Lu Ming received feedback from the 'Bad Luck' book.
The curse was successful, but the effect would only last for a month.
Moreover, the effect would gradually diminish over time.
"Is that so?"
Lu Ming stroked his chin, "Then I'll curse someone every month?"
"Who else to curse?"
He thought for a moment and decided to also curse Guyue Fangyuan.
Although Guyue was already dead, his Spring and Autumn Cicada was too powerful.
Result - the curse failed.
No target.
"Good that there's no target. If the curse had succeeded, that would have been terrible. Let's also curse the Brightmoon Sect's high-ranking members."
"Whether the effect is big or small doesn't matter."
"Even if there's just a little effect, it's still good."
And so, he began to curse consecutively.
Starting with the Brightmoon Sect Master, Ji Hao Yue...
One after another...
But as he did so, his head felt heavy, and he even started bleeding from his nose.
"!!!"
"Nose bleed?"
Lu Ming was shocked.
With his current physical condition and control over his body, how could he possibly bleed from his nose?
"Reverse?"
"!!!"
"This 'Bad Luck' book... is quite interesting!"
He knew that cursed equipment would have a 'backlash', but who knew he'd be affected so subtly, like a frog in slowly heating water, hard to detect.
"Hiss!"
"Enough, enough, if I continue, I'm afraid I'll also be cursed."
"Let's talk about it next month."
...
This astonishing battle and the news of the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty's destruction quickly spread across the entire Immortal Martial Continent.
The might of the Embracing Moon Sect.
The disciples of Embracing Moon Sect.
The gradual rise of Embracing Moon Sect, unnoticed by all.
Various thoughts and ideas from all sides.
The Western Regions.
A certain Immortal City.
Tang Shenwang, who had fled here, enjoyed his life, eating delicious food.
A journey of escape...
Though arduous, though pitiful, during this time, he truly experienced 'life'.
"Even the basement of all protagonist templates, it's still a protagonist template. When encountering other protagonist templates, he can only kneel. But when facing ordinary cultivators, he's always 'a cut above the rest'."
With the protagonist halo, various risks are just risks.
Along the way, not only has he collected many resources, but he has also accumulated some connections of his own—although both sides have impure intentions.
At the same time, he has even found two 'Martial Souls', greatly increasing his strength.
In multiple battles, he either kills his opponents or escapes unscathed.
Now that he has fled to the Western Region, he can finally relax a little. For now, he can put down his guard and enjoy some peace.
But before he could even get comfortable, he heard the shocked exclamations of the gathered cultivators.
"What happened?"
He sneaked over to eavesdrop without being noticed.
"Have you heard? About the Sun and Moon Immortal Dynasty in the North!"
"Of course, it's all over the place now. Unless you're a background-less, newly-started solitary cultivator, who wouldn't know?"
Tang Shenwang: "..."
I feel like you're cursing me, but I have no proof!
Forget it, this Divine King will continue listening.
"I never expected that the seemingly ordinary Sun and Moon Immortal Dynasty would have such deep secrets. Their methods are truly heaven-defying!!!"
"Indeed, but even more heaven-defying is the Moon Embrace Sect!"
Moon Embrace Sect?!
Tang Shenwang frowned, a surge of anger growing in his heart.
He couldn't help but ask, "What's so heaven-defying about the Moon Embrace Sect?"
"It's just a third-rate sect."
Upon hearing this, the cultivators turned to look at him.
One of them scoffed, "Hey, there's actually someone who doesn't know?"
"Know what?" Tang Shenwang's face darkened.
The man surveyed him up and down, and laughed. "You don't know about the Moon Embrace Sect disciples' perversions!"
"According to the Southwest Region's classification of sect levels, the Moon Embrace Sect is indeed just a third-rate sect. After all, they haven't certified or improved their 'level'."
"But in terms of strength, tut... The Moon Embrace Sect's group of 'perverts' are all peerless geniuses, even surpassing peerless geniuses!"
"In the battle against the Sun and Moon Immortal Dynasty, Xiao Ling'er, the Ferocious One, Qiu Yongqin, Wang Teng... Many disciples shone brightly!"
"Even when fighting against Eighth Stage Peak cultivators, they didn't fall behind!"
"That battle truly made the sun and moon lose their light, and the starry river roll over. Now, who in the entire Immortal Martial Continent doesn't know about the Moon Embrace Sect's strength? The perversion of the Moon Embrace Sect disciples has already deeply impressed everyone~"
"I was just about to say that."
"Wait until this year when the Moon Embrace Sect opens its mountain gate. I'm afraid countless cultivation families, second-generation cultivators, and more will come to pay their respects~"
"Those without backgrounds are probably countless too~!"
"The Moon Embrace Sect is going to flourish."
"Surpassing the peak is just a matter of time."
"..."
Tang Shenwang was enraged.
This is outrageous!
He could be sure that these cultivators weren't lying to him.
They were telling the truth.
But precisely because of this, he felt incredibly angry.
The Moon Embrace Sect...
A mere third-rate sect, a sect he initially looked down upon, is now so powerful?
What is this? Did he have poor judgment, missing a great opportunity?
This is outrageous!
And there's also Xiao Ling'er, that woman, and the other Moon Embrace Sect disciples!
In that battle, Xiao Ling'er, that stinky woman, took away his Ice Spirit Cold Flame and even killed his Xiaoshan... This grudge, this hatred, is irreconcilable. He will definitely kill her and destroy the Moon Embrace Sect.
But her footsteps are still faster than his, much faster?
This is intolerable!
Tang Shenwang's mentality collapsed.
He originally thought that after rebelling from the Brightmoon Sect, he had gone through many 'hardships' and surpassed his peers, becoming the leader.
But suddenly hearing this news, they were already far ahead of him?
He originally thought the rain had stopped, and he was finally good enough.
But it turned out that everything was just an illusion.
He still wasn't good enough!
"!!!"
"I must become stronger!"
Tang Shenwang's heart burned with anger.
But he couldn't help but admit that Xiao Ling'er and the others were also peerless geniuses, not weaker than him at all.
"In that case, if I don't take an unconventional path and be more ruthless, wanting to surpass and kill them is just a dream of a madman, almost impossible to achieve."
"So..."
"I can't afford to care about so much!"
He turned and left, not paying attention to the others' ridicule.
The Ice Emperor, sensing the change in his mentality, could only reveal a bitter smile.
He... still didn't want to die.
But it seemed like he had already made up his mind.
Was there still a way out for him?
He couldn't help but ponder a way to survive.
But it was really hard to find.
The current plan was to first delay time, as long as possible.
Sigh!
"Cough, Tang Wu."
"If you want to improve your strength, your foster father has a method."
"Oh?"
Tang Wu's expression remained unchanged: "Foster father, please tell me."
"Actually, in the Martial Soul system, there's a branch secret art called External Soul Bone."
"But this is a minor path, and it might affect your 'Great Dao'. Foster father didn't tell you before, but now, the time is right. Go and find some soul bones, and I'll teach you how to refine the External Soul Bone."
Tang Wu was 'overjoyed': "Thank you, foster father."
But in his heart, he cursed: "This old immortal, why didn't he tell me earlier?"
"Deserved to become a Martial Soul!"
...
After he left.
The cultivator who had ridiculed him earlier had a faint gaze and took out a telecommunication talisman: "Hey?"
"Brightmoon Sect?"
"I've found traces of your sect's traitor, Tang Wu..."
