Chapter 494: I Need a Mount

Chapter 494: I Need a Mount

Eighty-seven female demonic spirits fell.

The blood-armored figure sat in the air, his expression cold.

Holding a long spear, he seemed like a heavenly deity descending upon the mortal realm.

The terrifying and eerie spirits were powerless against him, unable to resist.

The villagers and kiln workers witnessing this scene all knelt on the ground, crying out, "Heavenly Deity!"

"Heavenly Deity!"

"This must be a god!"

The female Daoist nun stood in a daze, stunned by the scene before her.

What kind of perfect skill was this?

Eighty-seven demonic spirits, each at the High Stage Yellow Rank, combined their divine soul attacks, which even a High Mage Battle Master on the Earthly Ranking would approach with caution.

Even a Mystic Rank Battle Master, a small overlord in the region, would have no choice but to face death against so many divine soul attacks.

However, the blood-armored figure was immune to these soul attacks.

Could he truly be a heavenly deity?

Moreover, his combat skills were flawless, without a single flaw, flowing like a stream.

Despite his inferior strength, speed, and energy compared to the demonic spirits, he fought against eighty-seven of them alone, treating them as insignificant.

Such skill was too perfect.

The Daoist nun had seen Archmage Battle Masters, yet none possessed such technique.

A High Mage Battle Master could battle three thousand armored soldiers, relying on their robust physique and sharp magical weapons.

The blood-armored man before her was so skilled that the Daoist nun believed he could single-handedly slaughter three thousand elite armored soldiers and retreat unscathed.

"Who are you?" The Daoist nun's teeth chattered as she spoke, her voice trembling.

"I am... Divine Arrival!"

A cold and majestic voice echoed in the air, akin to the sound of a heavenly deity.

"Divine Arrival?" The Daoist nun was taken aback.

She looked at Qi Yuan, feeling a bit dazed.

Divine Arrival... Was it the same Divine Arrival she knew?

Divine Arrival... Wasn't it a sacred artifact, also known as a sacred weapon?

Chen Kangbao's expression was fervent as he gazed at the blood-armored figure.

In unison, they shouted,

"Divine Arrival, revered by all in the multiverse!

Nine Heavens Immortal, by his side,

Five Directions Thunder Deities, follow his commands.

Six Heavens and Six Earths, protect his body,

Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces, form a divine formation.

...

Eyes shooting golden light, dispelling evil and revealing righteousness,

Hands holding the light, dispelling the darkness.

...

Where Divine Arrival goes, light shall forever remain,

All things in the world, bow before Divine Arrival."

The kneeling kiln workers, upon hearing this, quickly joined in the chant.

"When the world lacks light, Divine Arrival shall appear!"

"When the world lacks light, Divine Arrival shall appear!"

Their voices rose like a heat wave, passionate and devout.

Even the Daoist nun was infected, as if she had joined their fervor.

When she emerged from this unique atmosphere, she suddenly realized that the "heavenly deity" had disappeared.

Miles away.

"Bang!" A figure fell from the sky.

Qi Yuan's face turned pale, looking somewhat comical.

Where was his previous coolness now?

"Luckily I ran fast, the quality of this mosquito drone is terrible!"

If he continued chatting with those people, he might have embarrassed himself.

After fighting the demonic spirits, Qi Yuan was physically unharmed, but his energy and spirit had been greatly depleted.

Especially the mosquito drone, which had suffered significant damage and could no longer support him in the air.

If he had continued, he would have had to perform a dramatic fall in front of everyone.

"Young Master, how was the chant I recited just now, my young master?" Chen Kangbao proudly spoke beside him, seemingly seeking praise.

"Not bad, from now on, you're my strategist, with a little loudspeaker," Qi Yuan complimented.

Chen Kangbao's chant was, of course, Qi Yuan's own creation, with a few stitches here and there.

The bad news was the stitches, but the good news was that everything was stitched together.

For Qi Yuan, to play the role of Divine Arrival, appearing before the people was not enough; he also needed a catchy slogan.

First, it added to his coolness, and second, it would be easier to spread.

"The only drawback is the poor quality of this drone; next time, I need to get a better one."

Currently, Qi Yuan couldn't fly.

As a deity, not being able to fly was too embarrassing.

Therefore, he needed a drone.

Thunderbolts and other ideas were also under consideration.

"However, this performance wasn't perfect; if only I had a projector.

In this world, without a Dharmakaya form to display, a projection would definitely boost my coolness."

Qi Yuan was reviewing his performance.

Qi Yuan always liked to review his actions.

After an argument, he would also review his performance during the dispute.

After his review, he began to organize his gains.

"With eighty-seven Yellow Rank demonic spirits defeated, I've finally reached level 57, a direct increase of over twenty levels!"

Level 57, according to Qi Yuan's calculations, was considered a High Stage Yellow Rank Battle Master in this world.

Just one step away from becoming a Mystic Rank Battle Master.

A Mystic Rank Battle Master could even serve as a county marshal in larger counties, overseeing the defense of an entire county.

"The increase in strength is a small matter; the most important thing is... the success of my Divine Arrival impersonation..."

It had increased to a remarkable 12%.

The Divine Arrival identity-playing gift manifests.

【As I Divine Arrival, I can transform into a Dharmakaya, summoned by followers, and purify the boundless.】

Countless pieces of information flood into Qi Yuan's mind in this instant.

"As I Divine Arrival" is a skill, or perhaps something akin to a divine ability.

When a follower devoutly kneels or prays, Qi Yuan senses their devotion and can descend as a Dharmakaya, displaying divine signs.

This Dharmakaya possesses a portion of the Sacred Weapon's power.

Of course, it's not without limitations; the farther the distance, the weaker the power.

The only flaw is that he can only descend when summoned by others.

This skill is too passive.

"Old man, are you one of my followers?" Qi Yuan looks at Chen Kangbao.

"Yes!" Chen Kangbao nods vigorously.

"Actually, I am Divine Arrival. Summon me quickly!" Qi Yuan wants to conduct an experiment.

The old man, Chen Kangbao, closes his eyes, and his face reveals a devout expression: "Oh divine one, please open your eyes and look upon this pale and skinny me!"

The voice resonates in Qi Yuan's ears and also within his mind.

Qi Yuan has three choices.

One, as I Divine Arrival, respond to the call.

Two, activate the superpower and converse with the voice.

Three, ignore and block it out.

"Okay, as long as I can summon myself."

Qi Yuan does not choose the first option.

He is too weak at the moment and can't be bothered to respond.

So, he chooses the second option.

"Since it's like that, I'll fulfill your wish."

After the Purple Mansion, Qi Yuan's acquired superpower is to converse with the "heard" voice, and unexpected things will happen.

Just right, this skill is especially suitable for the Divine Arrival identity.

Sure enough, Chen Kangbao opens his eyes wide, and on the ground in front of him, a fragrant aroma arises.

"This...this is a divine sign!"

His previous prayer was that he was hungry and needed food.

As a result, the divine one truly responded and provided him with food.

The packaging of the food is somewhat peculiar.

It's a cylindrical box, and Chen Kangbao can't identify the material, which looks a bit like paper.

He lifts the paper cover, and instantly, he sees food emitting steam.

"Is this...noodles?" His face reveals an expectant expression.

"Instant noodles," Qi Yuan replies.

Indeed, what appears before Chen Kangbao is none other than instant noodles from Bluestar.

"Wait, these are instant noodles without seasoning packets!" Qi Yuan is speechless.

Without the seasoning packets, can these instant noodles still be eaten?

Pain, his entire body aches!

In the 619th chapter, a mistake-free version!

It's as if every inch of her skin has been trampled upon.

Zhi Shuang slowly wakes up, her face filled with profound fatigue.

Her long black hair is adorned with a dark wooden hairpin, and her furrowed brows carry an unmelting ice. Her slender jade legs are tightly pressed together like ice pillars.

Ice, freezing ice.

She gives off the impression of an ancient, unmelting ice.

A terrifying thought crosses her mind, and her face reveals a terrified expression. She vigorously starts checking, reaching into her clothes.

Because this aching sensation makes her realize something horrifying has happened.

After a few breaths, she clenches her teeth, her eyes filled with frost.

She is still a maiden.

Could it be...that the son-in-law is inadequate? After all that fuss, he only managed to touch her.

But her clothes show no signs of being unfastened.

She looks up and immediately sees a familiar figure asleep on the carriage.

She gazes at Qi Yuan's face, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"What...did you do to me?" Zhi Shuang asks in a cold voice.

"Huh? I turned on the air conditioner, and it's a bit cold?" Qi Yuan wakes up, stretches lazily, and his gaze falls on Zhi Shuang, "I didn't do anything; you were just too noisy, so I knocked you out and then wrapped you up like a spear and tied you around my waist."

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Zhi Shuang is momentarily stunned.

She is a High-Tier Yellow Rank Armament Commander, and how could this man, who is as weak as a chicken, knock her out?

Moreover, turning her into a spear and tying her around his waist is even more absurd.

Could it be that he's been driven mad by a demonic spirit?

Doubts also arise in her heart, wondering how she passed out. At this moment, a proud voice sounds from outside the carriage.

"Young Master, I've done as you instructed, and the story of Hongyun Village has been recorded..."

After returning from Hongyun Village, Qi Yuan ponders his role as Divine Arrival.

To increase progress, he must first raise the popularity of Divine Arrival.

So, he turns the events at Hongyun Village into a story, asking Chen Kangbao to record it and distribute it to the storytellers in taverns, paying them to spread the word.

Hmm, in terms of Bluestar, he's essentially a self-published book author.

Zhi Shuang's eyes suddenly fixate on Chen Kangbao, her gaze filled with vigilance and apprehension: "Who are you...?"

Her attention to detail is sharp, and she immediately recognizes Chen Kangbao's extraordinariness.

Although he's a skinny old man, the calluses on his hands and his posture indicate he might be an Armament Commander.

"I was hired by the young master of the Insanity Institute!" Chen Kangbao replied arrogantly.

Zhi Shuang's face showed a look of surprise, and then she suddenly understood.

She turned to Qi Yuan, a playful glint in her eyes, "I never thought that in just a few days, Son-in-Law's skills have improved so much that he could even fool a patient in the Insanity Institute and make him knock me out!"

She naturally assumed it was Chen Kangbao who had knocked her out.

Son-in-Law Qi Yuan was just a weak scholar.

Facing Qi Yuan, Zhi Shuang didn't hold back.

She could tell that Chen Kangbao's state was off.

Last time, she was caught off guard and got knocked out, but now she was more cautious. How could she have been attacked by Chen Kangbao?

"What do you mean by fooling? She's my follower," Qi Yuan said lazily.

"I am the young master's most loyal servant!" Chen Kangbao quickly added.

Zhi Shuang looked at the two of them, her eyes filled with suspicion.

Could Son-in-Law... have actually gone mad?

This behavior was completely different from what she had seen before.

However, Son-in-Law was a bit lucky. Even in his madness, he managed to gain the loyalty of a Battle Master.

She remembered their conversation before she fainted, and her tone softened, "Son-in-Law, you dare to return to the county. As for Ninghe County, Miss will personally ask Lord Zhong!"

This statement had two meanings.

If Qi Yuan had truly done something inappropriate, Miss would severely punish him.

If he was wronged, she would clear his name.

If Son-in-Law was truly wronged and lost his soul, becoming mad... Zhi Shuang's heart filled with pity, and then the pity turned into a glimmer of hope.

It's better for Son-in-Law to be a little foolish than to constantly cause trouble like before.

"I'll give that Lord Zhong a piece of my mind for framing me and trying to get me killed!" Qi Yuan exclaimed, playing the role of the Concubine Husband.

Watching this, Zhi Shuang was convinced that Son-in-Law had gone mad.

Son-in-Law was always timid and submissive at the manor, never daring to show any temper.

Thinking of something, she continued, "Son-in-Law, what did you do to me? Why does my whole body ache?"

Her entire body felt numb, as if she had gone through an all-night battle.

"You have a bad memory. Didn't I already tell you?" Qi Yuan said casually.

Zhi Shuang remained silent.

Indeed, he had truly gone mad.

At this moment, Qi Yuan looked at Zhi Shuang with anticipation, "I want to ask you something!"

"Please, Son-in-Law, go ahead!" Zhi Shuang's face was frosty, but she maintained basic politeness and courtesy.

"My wife, she's a Mystic Rank Battle Master. How strong is she? How fast is she? Any highlights in terms of cultivation?" Qi Yuan asked earnestly.

A chill swept through the air, and Zhi Shuang's face turned icy, "Son-in-Law, who told you to ask this?"

Miss was not only a beauty on the Hundred Fragrance List but also a true disciple of the Heavenly Sect.

In the Ning Kingdom, Sect and noble families held immense power, even the royal family had to consider their influence.

Among them, the Heavenly Sect and Ancient Thunder Sect were the two most powerful Sects in the Ning Kingdom.

These two Sects had been in constant conflict, fighting for the position of the State Religion, leaving both sides battered and bloody.

In a few months, there would be a competition between the true disciples of the Heavenly Sect and Ancient Thunder Sect.

With Qi Yuan's question, Zhi Shuang naturally assumed that someone wanted to gather information about her through Qi Yuan to understand her strengths and weaknesses.

"No one, it's just something I wanted to ask."

Look at my sincere big eyes! Qi Yuan looked at Zhi Shuang sincerely and continued, "As the saying goes, Lu Bu is invincible on horseback, Dian Wei is invincible on foot, Ma Chao is invincible in equestrian skills. So, if Lu Bu rides Ma Chao, and Ma Chao rides Dian Wei, wouldn't they be invincible in the world?

I just need a mount, so I thought of riding someone during battles.

Using a mosquito as a drone or a bird as a drone isn't ideal.

So, Qi Yuan had a crazy idea—to turn a powerful Battle Master into a drone.

For example, the Concubine Husband Qi Yuan's wife is a Mystic Rank Battle Master. Although she can't fly, her speed and strength are far greater than a mosquito's.

He could use Thousand Transformations to turn his wife into a drone and carry her, and for legs, he could simply use Invisibility, treating it as low-altitude flight.

Then, if he cultivates his wife to the Earth Rank, wouldn't she be able to fly at high altitudes? Qi Yuan patted himself on the back for his brilliant idea.

So, he came to ask about the Concubine Husband Qi Yuan's wife's strength and speed.

"You... are you serious?" Zhi Shuang's face turned frosty, filled with anger.

"I am!" Qi Yuan was sincere.

"You're so shameless!" Zhi Shuang was furious.

She wanted to write a letter to Miss. Not only had Son-in-Law lost his mind, but he had become even more shameless!

He actually wanted to ride Miss!

Although she was a maiden, she knew what "ride" meant. Did it involve standing up and pedaling afterward?

"Do you care about your wife so much that you don't want me to ride her?" Qi Yuan seemed to ponder, "Too bad, your strength and speed are a bit lacking, or else I'd ride you."
