Chapter 44: "Gongfeng Liu, do you think anyone in that Mystic Realm can rival me?"
Chapter 44: "Gongfeng Liu, do you think anyone in that Mystic Realm can rival me?"
It wasn't so much regret as it was envy.
The middle-aged man on the platform, already in a state of frenzy, had simply gotten lucky. Not only did he randomly obtain two "Nine Bulls' Strength," but he also chanced upon a "Self-Explosion Entry." Most people don't have such fortune; this was the real gamble of the Entry.
Fat Dragon, for his part, didn't consider himself particularly lucky. Even if given the chance to choose again, he likely wouldn't have picked the "Self-Cutting Root." The pain was only one aspect; the main reason was that he felt quite content with his current situation, and there was a certain pleasure in his intimate moments. Moreover, in terms of elegance, nine blood holes were better than eight.
It could only be fate. This middle-aged man was destined to have such luck.
However, this also proved from a certain perspective that even the seemingly useless White Entries, when obtained by those with the right connections, could be put to good use. The real challenge lay in acquiring the compatible Entries to go with them.
The grand spectacle came to an end.
The spectators in the square gradually dispersed, and at some point, the smiles on their faces had vanished without a trace. Now, the most important thing wasn't envy or witnessing someone's good fortune skyrocketing.
Instead, the question on everyone's mind was whether this Foundation Establishment man's Cultivation Level had exceeded the sixth layer!!!
If not,
With such a monster among them, they wouldn't need to think about competing for treasures; they'd be better off running for their lives. A 'Adventure' type Heavenly Dao Mystic Realm had turned into a full-blown battle royale.
None of those present felt confident in facing such a monster.
"Um... Boss."
In the corner of the square, a small, cloaked man cautiously approached a burly man beside him and hesitated, "Should we still follow him and look for an opportunity to strike?"
This grand spectacle had attracted many, including fugitives. Their thoughts were simple—a Foundation Establishment cultivator carrying so many Spirit Stones was no different from a walking Spirit Stone mine.
Not robbing him would be like spitting in Heaven's face, inviting divine retribution.
It would bring bad karma.
But now, it seemed like it wouldn't be easy to make a move.
"Rob your mother's head!!!"
The burly man, somewhat embarrassed and angry, slapped the cloak off the small man's head, "If I say we're going to rob him, do you dare to be the first to move?"
"I dare."
"Get lost!"
The burly man, enraged, turned and walked out of the square. He had forgotten that his brother was truly fearless, willing to risk his life. Who could have guessed that this man's luck would be so extraordinary? Not only did he fail to gain a single Spirit Stone, but he also wasted two Spirit Stones.
Pure bullshit!
At this moment, in the center of the square, within a certain courtyard...
Wang Tiedan, the middle-aged man who had gotten extremely lucky, stood in the courtyard, his excitement palpable as he gazed expectantly towards the west of Fufeng City, "It's as if Heaven itself favors me. Who would've thought that at fifty-six, I, Wang Tiedan, would still have such an opportunity!"
"I had already given up on advancing further, but now it seems that perhaps in this lifetime, I might even have a chance to break through to the Golden Core Period!"
"My Cultivation Level is at the third layer of Foundation Establishment, just enough to enter the soon-to-open Celestial Path Secret Realm. Gongfeng Liu, do you think there's anyone in that Mystic Realm who can match me?"
He hadn't originally planned to enter the Mystic Realm; he was just taking advantage of the crowd to make a quick profit. But now, things were different. With his current state, he was like a man carrying dozens of talismans, each capable of delivering a full-power strike from a third-layer Golden Core Master.
His confidence soared.
Perhaps in the future, he could gradually shift his focus away from the family and once again embark on the path of cultivation. After all these years without entering a Mystic Realm, he felt a bit nostalgic for the days when he hadn't yet broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Daoist companions he met along the way, eagerly rushing into the Mystic Realm.
Conquering every challenge and surviving to the end, it was an exhilarating experience. But as one grows older, their courage tends to diminish. He no longer had the same drive as before, and even thinking about it now made him feel a bit scared. Truly, ignorance is bliss.
Standing beside him, Liu Gongfeng let out a sigh of resignation before waving his hand to dismiss the servants nearby. His expression turned serious as he said, "Elder, let me explain something to you. Right now, you're overly excited."
"First of all, we definitely won the auction, and we won big time."
"Not to mention, we earned more than 5,000 Spirit Stones from the auction alone. This is equivalent to our family's production of Spirit Stones for over a decade. And these Spirit Stones can serve as a great starting capital."
"Although you're now equivalent to the Near-Core Formation stage, think about it, can you really defeat a true Golden Core Master?"
"How many times can you use your full power strike? How many times can a Golden Core Master use their full power strike?"
"A Golden Core Master can withstand your full power strike, but can you withstand theirs?"
"A Golden Core Master can sense and react within dozens of miles. Can you run faster than them?"
"Using my hometown's saying, you're currently a high attack, low defense, and low speed living target. You can bully the weak, but against a strong opponent, there's no way you can win."
". . ."
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Wang Tiedan's head, instantly sobering him up. After a long silence, he muttered, "Liu Gongfeng, what you said makes perfect sense, but..."
"You said that before I obtained these Entries, I should remain hidden and endure. Now that I have these Entries and have become so powerful, you're telling me to continue hiding and enduring. Isn't this endurance for nothing?"
"No."
Liu Gongfeng shook his head, his expression serious. "Didn't I just say that we can bully the weak? So, we'll go and bully the weak, and that's it. You said you want to enter the Mystic Realm and kill all the disciples from major Sects and great Clans. What's the point of that?"
"If a few people die during a normal Mystic Realm battle, those Sects won't say anything. It's normal for people to die in the Mystic Realm. But if you go in there and slaughter everyone, those Sects and Clans will send their Golden Core Masters to hunt you down. Elder, how will you deal with that?"
"Provoking such powerful forces brings no benefits."
"Now, everyone knows that Elder possesses strength comparable to the Golden Core stage. This is a form of deterrence. We will use this deterrence to ruthlessly bully the Foundation Establishment Clans. We can't provoke the Golden Core forces, but those Foundation Establishment Clans are easy targets for us."
"The weak should be trampled upon!"
"As we bully the Foundation Establishment Clans and obtain a large number of Spirit Stones and cultivation resources, step by step, we will become stronger. Every time Elder breaks through a minor realm, our deterrence will increase. Once Elder reaches the Golden Core stage and possesses Nascent Soul power, then we can go and ruthlessly bully those Golden Core forces!"
"Isn't that wonderful?"
"That makes sense." Wang Tiedan pondered for half a day, then hesitated, "But there's one small problem. What if I'm about to break through to the Golden Core stage? Will those Golden Core Masters let me break through so easily?"
"Hard to say."
"What do you mean, hard to say?"
"Anyway, if I were a Golden Core Master near you, I would already be on my way to kill you."
