Chapter 317: She is a Goddess! Instantly Slaying Hongwu! The Primordial Gate (Part 2)
!
How old is Lu Ming?
He's only cultivated for a few years!
Moreover, most of his time has been spent in enlightenment and seclusion!
How could he possibly have mastered all these invincible arts and supreme techniques, cultivating them all to the 'Entering the Chamber' level, and even to the 'Great Accomplishment' realm?
This is against all reason!
Something's not right!
This is very wrong!
Extremely wrong!"
"How did you manage to do this?!"
"How did I do it?"
Lu Ming helplessly spread his hands, "I just did it like this."
"I already said, for me, no matter what invincible art or technique, they aren't that 'difficult to learn.' It's always been like this for me since I was young."
"I don't know why either, but I just find it very easy and quick to learn things."
"It seems like..."
"No matter what it is, it's as if I can master it after just one look."
"I'm also very desperate."
"I have no way to experience that sense of achievement after 'successful cultivation.'"
"Speaking of which, Elder, you must feel a great sense of accomplishment, right? Is there any way you can let me experience it too?"
Ji Haoyue: "..."
Are you even speaking human language?!
You're really going too far!
We've struggled and toiled for most of our lives, and we can't even master a few invincible techniques. Learning just one, even if it's only the initial stage, would make us happy for a long time, and we could brag about it after leaving.
But you, after just one look, you come here to complain to me?!
If you still want a sense of accomplishment...
I'll accomplish your grandpa's sense of accomplishment!
You've really pissed me off!
Damn it!
Ji Haoyue's chest heaved violently...
At this moment, he no longer doubted that Lu Ming was a 'pervert,' because, aside from being a pervert, there was no other explanation! A 'normal person,' even if they were a peerless heavenly talent, would never be able to learn so many invincible arts and techniques in such a short time!
"You're not human!"
Ji Haoyue clenched her teeth, staring at Lu Ming, emphasizing each word.
Lu Ming: "?!?!"
"No, Elder, you're going too far!"
"What did I do to deserve this scolding from you?"
"How am I not human?"
Lu Ming expressed his dissatisfaction.
Ji Haoyue: "..."
"You were never human to begin with."
"You're a pervert! A monster, a... in short, you're not human!"
"Under the heavens, it's impossible for someone's talent to be this good. There must be a big problem or a big secret with you!"
"..."
"Fine, then I'll take it as you're praising me."
Lu Ming sighed.
However, he was somewhat astonished.
Don't mention it!
Ji Haoyue's words were indeed reasonable. Lu Ming also didn't believe that someone's talent could be this extraordinary!
If it were possible...
Then that so-called talent wouldn't be talent at all, but an 'external cheat'! A definite cheat!
For example, myself...
Seemingly with heaven-defying talent, but in reality...
Cough, cough, cough.
I'm also a cheater.
Anyway, keep it low-key.
—
The reason Lu Ming knows all the techniques of the Moonlight Sect is that he shared them, and they were shared by various elders, even the Supreme Elder.
They...
Each person cultivates one or at most two 'invincible techniques' or some powerful techniques and immerse themselves in them for a lifetime. Can they not reach the 'Entering the Chamber' or even the 'Great Accomplishment' stage?! But Ji Haoyue is unaware of this.
Up to this point, even if it seems unbelievable, he has to admit... Lu Ming's talent is exceptional!
There's no issue with him learning the invincible arts of the main lineage's direct disciples.
So, it seems I misunderstood Lu Ming.
Speaking of which, this is also good.
Ji Haoyue slowly relaxed, "At least it proves that I didn't misjudge the person, and it also proves that the Moonlight Lineage is not a disappointment."
"With him, the future of the Moonlight Lineage shouldn't be too bad."
During this period, Ji Haoyue has been observing.
Indeed, the current Moonlight Lineage is more 'outstanding' and vibrant than the previous Moonlight Sect.
Resources are one reason.
The bigger reason is that they see a 'future'! Clear rewards and punishments, various powerful invincible arts and techniques, and they are clearly stronger than those of the Moonlight Sect! There's also a bigger stage.
Moreover, they have a whole bunch of heavenly talents...
All these advantages come together to create the vibrant atmosphere of the Moonlight Lineage, and compared to the past, their enthusiasm is clearly much higher.
For any sect, this is a good thing.
Ji Haoyue, despite her reservations, has to admit this point.
At least for now, it seems that the transformation of the Moonlight Sect into the Moonlight Lineage has brought more benefits.
Additionally, at this moment, it's confirmed that Lu Ming is indeed not crazy...
Ji Haoyue's heart is filled with complex emotions.
Although their conversation seems slow, in reality, it only takes a few words.
Therefore, when Liu Shen walks over and nods slightly to Lu Ming, Ji Haoyue quickly clasps his fists and takes two steps back, even daring not to look directly.
Ji Haoyue still has some presence.
Facing such a powerful existence, he dares not show any disrespect.
He also cannot be disrespectful.
"Thank you for your help, it's been a bother."
"Such a person indeed deserves to be killed."
Liu Shen speaks softly, "This method is a belief, one of the cultivation methods of the so-called 'Shen Dao,' but it is even more extreme.
"Not only did she seek the Heavenly Mandate Title, but she even used the lives and blood of the masses to empower herself. This is truly unacceptable."
"I will report this matter to the Heavenly Dao and ensure such incidents do not occur again. Otherwise, the world will be in peril."
"I'm afraid I can't be of much help here. Only Goddess Liu can personally intervene."
Lu Ming responded with a smile.
He wasn't surprised that Goddess Liu could communicate with the Heavenly Dao.
"If her identity hasn't changed, according to the template, she's an Ancient Immortal Ancestor Spirit! Even in the Upper Realm, she's one of the most supreme existences."
Even though she was almost killed, and her current recovery is only a millionth of her peak, this place isn't the Immortal World.
The Heavenly Dao of the Xianwu Continent faced Goddess Liu...
Perhaps it's best to give her some face.
For Goddess Liu to take action and mend the 'flaws' of the Heavenly Dao...
Otherwise, the Xianwu Continent will truly descend into chaos.
One after another, 'Hongwu Loose Immortals' appear, and ordinary cultivators won't stand a chance. They'll just be waiting to become 'sacrifices.' They'll die without even understanding how they perished, not even knowing they're gone!
This is outrageous!
But...
There's more to this than meets the eye.
Lu Ming didn't doubt that Goddess Liu could communicate with the Heavenly Dao and even mend its flaws, but Ji Haoyue had no idea!
He had no knowledge of Goddess Liu's identity; he only knew she was powerful.
However, after hearing their conversation, he was shocked, his scalp tingling, and his body trembled.
Goodness!
This existence, known as Goddess Liu, can actually speak to the Heavenly Dao?!
Wow!
Could she be a true deity?
Someone like Hongwu, who is just an 'artificial' 'pseudo-deity'?
How powerful is this person before me?
He lowered his head slightly, not out of flattery, but out of respect for a powerful figure.
"It's all for the sake of the world." Goddess Liu shook her head slightly and sighed, "Speaking of which, I must apologize to a fellow Daoist."
"I came earlier."
"Almost missed a crucial matter."
"Where?"
"I arrived just in time." Lu Ming smiled, "I can also use this opportunity to test my strength and be prepared when I need to take action against someone in the future."
"However, Goddess Liu, you've been..."
"Busy in the Primordial Gate?"
"Do you know about the Primordial Gate?"
Goddess Liu was slightly surprised and then nodded, "I've been busy there."
"There have been some changes in the Primordial Gate that require thorough handling, and I'll need some more time. I'll return there later."
"Then I won't disturb you further."
Lu Ming cupped his hands and said, "Goddess Liu, please attend to your matters. I only requested your help because of the difficult opponent we faced."
"As I said, we are fellow Daoists."
Goddess Liu chuckled, "Why do you keep addressing me as Goddess Liu?"
"This..."
"You deserve the title of Goddess Liu!"
Lu Ming genuinely respected Goddess Liu.
She was not only powerful but also peerlessly beautiful. She had even ventured into a foreign realm alone, slaying numerous supreme Immortal Kings from ancient times. Even though she was outnumbered and surrounded, she fought valiantly, leaving only a withered tree branch to fall into the lower realm. If not for a fortuitous encounter, she would have truly perished.
Her actions, strength, spirit, and character were all admirable.
Calling her Goddess Liu was a sincere gesture.
"But in the end, we are fellow Daoists."
Goddess Liu looked at Lu Ming, her expression serious.
Lu Ming respected her, and she...
It wasn't a matter of romantic feelings, but she saw great potential in Lu Ming. With his exceptional growth rate, as long as he didn't meet an untimely end, he would undoubtedly become a significant force in the Immortal World!
Moreover, he had helped her...
"Then let's be equal friends."
"But..."
"I'll take the liberty to call you a fellow Daoist."
Lu Ming smiled slightly.
Being acknowledged by Goddess Liu felt truly wonderful.
This was an SSS-level achievement.
"It should be this way."
Goddess Liu and Lu Ming exchanged a smile.
Ji Haoyue, standing nearby with her head lowered, overheard everything and broke out in a cold sweat.
This existence was willing to be on equal terms with Lu Ming!
Just how much face did Lu Ming have?
Could it be because his talent was so extraordinary that even this supreme being wanted to be his friend?
At that moment, Goddess Liu spoke softly, "These demon cultivators, can you handle them, fellow Daoist?"
"I don't have much time and need to return to the Primordial Gate."
"The matters in the Primordial Gate are important. Please, fellow Daoist!"
"I'll take care of these demons. They won't cause any significant trouble." Lu Ming bid farewell.
"Good."
Goddess Liu nodded but didn't leave immediately. Instead, she waved her hand, and a green light instantly pierced through the void, disappearing into the horizon.
Then, she closed her eyes.
After a moment, she smiled slightly.
"Little one, you're doing well."
"The future is promising."
Lu Ming nodded, "His path is more challenging and arduous than anyone else's, but we will all stand behind him."
"Yes, we will all stand behind him."
Goddess Liu whispered and then spoke softly, "Lu Ming, who is this person before you?"
"Her?"
Lu Ming sighed, "She's a figure who stands at the pinnacle, admired by countless others."
"But I can't tell you now."
"However, in the future, you may have a chance to find out."
"If you're willing to join the Moon Holding Sect."
“This matter…”
“We can't make such a rash decision. I need to look further.”
In truth, Ji Haoyue's heart was already swayed.
But, you've got to act.
Don't lose face!
Furthermore, as the Elder Sect Master, how long has it been? To 'rebel' together? This doesn't make sense! Even if it's for the better service of the original Moon Holding Sect disciples, it can't be this fast!
He gestured below, and those black-robed fox demons were still healing, suppressing the backlash, the heart demon, and even most of them were unaware that Hongwu had already been killed.
They were completely unaware of the outside world, and most were immersed in the heart demon's illusion realm.
“They…”
“Suppress them first.”
Lu Ming sighed lightly, “Suppress them. If they can be used, send them to the Beast Taming Sect. Let them see if they can be used as demon beasts.”
“If not…”
“These great demons' flesh, blood, and divine souls, can all be used, whether consumed directly or used for alchemy.”
Lu Ming had no mercy for these creatures.
They… should all die!
Even their deaths are too good for them.
Suppressing them, however, wasn't difficult.
Although Lu Ming and Ji Haoyue were both heavily injured, they were at least Ninth Realm powerhouses. To suppress them would be easy, even if they were Seventh or Eighth Realm fox demons entangled by the heart demon.
Soon, Lu Ming suppressed them all and stored them in the Beast Taming Ring.
But immediately after, he flew up and looked down at the empty and silent Hongwu Immortal City, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He never considered himself a good person and vowed never to be a martyr bitch.
But with hundreds of millions of people, they were gone in an instant, leaving only scattered clothes and other items…
This scene couldn't help but evoke sighs.
“The vast Hongwu Immortal City.”
“The city remains, but the people are gone.”
“The world changes, but it's not always the same.”
“Ordinary people with crooked hearts can, at most, cause trouble in one place. But if the strong existences in the cultivation world have crooked hearts, they can truly cause trouble for thousands of years…”
Lu Ming shook his head.
Then, he looked at Ji Haoyue: “These resources in the city…”
“Are you interested?”
Ji Haoyue: “!!!”
His heart skipped a beat: “These resources in the city, for me?”
The city remains, but the people are gone!
The resources…
are naturally still there.
Nearly two hundred million cultivators sacrificed themselves, but they didn't sacrifice all the resources!
Lu Ming estimated that the Hongwu Immortal City was so generous before because they were waiting for this moment. They had been subsidizing the Hongwu Immortal Alliance, and now it was time to collect. Even if they had eaten a lot, they would still have a surplus.
The Hongwu Immortal Alliance had consumed a lot, but they would still have to pay it all back.
Even the 'principal' of all the cultivators in the Hongwu Immortal City would fall into his hands.
At this moment.
The ground was covered with storage bags!
And various items of clothing.
At first glance, it was blinding, but the city was full of 'resources'. They could 'loot' anytime, anywhere, and it was true that most of these cultivators weren't very powerful, but they had accumulated a lot…
Even if each cultivator had only one piece of essence stone, it would be worth several billion! Not to mention, how could every storage bag not contain various treasures and resources, and the treasure vaults of various large and small forces, as well as the resources in the City Lord's Mansion…
If all this was given to him, wouldn't he…
Even if they had cultivated to the point of immortality, there would still be leftovers?
“What are you thinking?”
Ji Haoyue was so excited that he couldn't help but tremble. Lu Ming, however, gave him a sidelong glance and said, “Give it to you. Don't you worry about people seeking revenge or making enemies? With so many resources, can you handle it even if you're a Ninth Realm powerhouse?”
“Then what do you mean?”
“First, collect them.”
Lu Ming sighed, “Those unclaimed items, they all belong to us, the Haoyue Lineage. Of course, if the main lineage wants something, they can take it.”
“Besides, many forces have 'branches' in other areas. In this situation, their resources… should be returned.”
Hearing that it belonged to the Haoyue Lineage, Ji Haoyue was excited, but then he heard that they had to return it…
He couldn't help but frown: “We have to return it all?”
“Of course… ‘all’ should be returned.”
“But… I still can't bear to return it all.”
Lu Ming was speechless. Goodness, do I have to explain it to you?
“If we don't return it, it'll cause trouble and make enemies. Why bother?”
“If we return it, we'll not only gain many allies but also avoid making enemies. Why not?”
“I understand what you're saying, but I still can't bear to return it all.”
“… Are you serious, Elder Sect Master? Are you really this honest, or have you always been this straightforward?”
“If we don't return it all, doesn't that mean it's all up to us?”
“If we say 'all', then it's all. How can you force us to make a Heavenly Dao Oath?”
“Take it all!”
“Essence stones, spirit herbs, materials, and the like, randomly pick some to give them and pretend, just to shut the people's mouths. As for those techniques and secret arts, we'll return them, but before that, can't we copy them ourselves?”
“We're being kind and returning them, but will they dare to take advantage of us and force us to make a Heavenly Dao Oath?”
“You and I, and my Haoyue Lineage, would endure this humiliation?!”
“If they don't agree, we'll fight!”
“The dead will fly to the sky, and the living will endure for ten thousand years. Anyone who doesn't agree, not a single hair will be spared.”
“!!!”
Ji Haoyue was speechless and couldn't help but look at Lu Ming with new respect: “You… are this black?”
