Chapter 83: A Path to Death! Come and Curse with Me, You Scum! (Part 1)

I'll endure!

Tang Shenwang's face darkened as he went through various "procedures" and then entered the Outer Gate.

However, the dirty and shabby environment of the Outer Gate instantly displeased him, causing a huge psychological gap.

"This, this is the living conditions of an Immortal Gate?" Tang Wu furrowed his brows.

"It's not much different from my old home!"

Where was his old home? Just a Martial Arts sect, perhaps powerful among mortals, but compared to an Immortal Gate, it was nothing. Even the strongest in the sect would not be a match for a Second Realm cultivator!

As a result, the environment of the Immortal Gate was almost the same as his old home?

The large dormitory!

The dirty and shabby details.

Even the air was filled with a familiar stench of feet and an unknown odor, making him feel a sense of familiarity as if he had "returned to his old home" in his dreams.

But this huge psychological gap made his brows twitch, and he felt extremely displeased.

A surge of anger rose within him.

"Teacher, why is it so unbearable even within an Immortal Gate?"

"Calm down."

"As the saying goes, bitterness before sweetness. Heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility upon you. It must first labor your mind and bones, exhaust your flesh and skin. All these trials and humiliations will become the most beautiful memories on your path to enlightenment."

The old man in the ring could only comfort him, "Since you're here, make the best of it. Now that you've come, don't think too much. Moreover, what we cultivators care about is not the environment, but resources."

"I'll endure the hardships then."

Tang Wu: "..."

The words made sense, but if there could be a better environment, why would he choose to endure hardships? It was already hard enough to get help and join an Immortal Gate, and not just any, but a Second-Rank Sect, a starting point that countless ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream of!

And now you want me to endure hardships?!

Tang Wu was very displeased, but he didn't dare to disobey his teacher. He could only ask again, "I understand that, but Teacher, I want to ask, are all Immortal Gates like this?"

"If they are all like this, then Immortal Gates are nothing special."

In that instant, his aspirations for cultivation were almost instantly shattered.

"Of course not, these are just the conditions for Outer Gate disciples. Although they are not the lowest in the sect, they are only slightly better off than menial disciples."

"The treatment is naturally ordinary."

"Of course, if the sect is more powerful and treats Outer Gate disciples better, the environment would be better."

"Once you become an Inner Gate disciple, you will at least have your own independent residence, and your monthly allowance will also increase. Even for the same sect missions, Inner Gate disciples receive higher rewards than Outer Gate disciples."

"And if you become a direct disciple, or even a 'Ranked Disciple', you can have your own Spirit Mountain!"

"The hierarchy is strict, but at the same time, it's also a form of encouragement."

"If you want better treatment and a better living environment, you must strive, endure hardships, and chase after your goals relentlessly. You need the courage and determination to surpass everything!"

"These..."

"Do you have it?!"

The old man in the ring wanted to teach Tang Wu a lesson.

"Of course I do!" Tang Wu declared.

He was serious, but... in his opinion, with the help of the old man in the ring, why shouldn't he surpass other Outer Gate disciples? What encouragement was this? It was clear that the sect didn't treat Outer Gate disciples as people!

How could such conditions be suitable for cultivators?

Just wait until I become stronger.

At that time, you'll see how I'll deal with you.

Unfortunately, the 'old man' didn't know what Tang Wu was thinking. He thought that Tang Wu had been convinced and understood the deeper meaning, and he couldn't help but feel proud.

"If you understand, that's good. Your monthly allowance has already been received, although it's not much, it's enough for you at the moment."

"Moreover, new entrants are exempt from menial tasks for a period of time and can focus on cultivation."

"First, calm your mind and cultivate. Just cultivate the Cloud Heaven Valley's Cloud Devouring Art, and strive to break through to the Second Realm within three months!"

"Once you break through to the Second Realm, I'll teach you the method of Martial Soul cultivation..."

"Yes, Teacher, I'll do my best!" Tang Wu replied.

But in his heart, he secretly swore to make a name for himself.

It wasn't about proving how great he was, but about reclaiming the dignity he had lost. He would make them pay a hundredfold!

Break through to the Second Realm within three months?!

"That's too slow, I can't wait that long. I want revenge now!"

"But to break through faster, these resources are not enough."

Tang Wu's gaze turned cold as he looked around the large dormitory.

At this moment, the other "dormmates" were nowhere to be seen, and he didn't know what they were up to. He wanted to take action, but then he thought, even a rabbit wouldn't eat grass near its burrow. If he acted now, he would easily be exposed.

Even if he wanted to take action, it shouldn't be now, and definitely not against his dormmates.

He needed to come up with a plan for when the night was deep and the moon was high...

"Teacher."

"After much consideration, I still believe that the sooner I improve my strength, the better. This way, I can help you reconstruct your physical body and let you see the sun sooner."

"So..."

"I have an unfilial request."

The old man in the ring was touched, "As your teacher, I've been dormant for so many years, and I don't mind the pace. As long as you keep growing, remember your promise when you achieve success in your cultivation. That's all I ask."

"No!"

Tang Wu insisted, "Teacher, you may not care, but as your disciple, I must care. Otherwise, wouldn't I be worse than pigs and dogs?"

"What's the difference between that and having a heart as fierce as a wolf and lungs as poisonous as a dog?"

"I must become stronger quickly, doing everything in my power and using all means necessary. I will fulfill the conditions in the shortest time to help you, Teacher, reconstruct your physical body!"

The 'old man' was deeply moved. If he still had his physical body, tears would have flowed.

He sighed, "With such a disciple, what more could I ask for?

"But my dear disciple, you mustn't be too hasty, and it's absolutely impossible to be careless."

"Teacher, please rest assured."

"However..."

"I have thought of a ruthless method, and I seek your assistance."

"With your help, I'm confident I can break through the Second Realm within a month!"

"As the saying goes, a quick step leads to quicker steps. If I can break through the Second Realm in a month, I can cultivate the Martial Soul's Great Dao faster, and I can also help you, Teacher..."

"It's rare to have such confidence!" Old Master felt a sense of relief and comfort.

How rare indeed!

This disciple not only has me in his heart, but he is also so confident!

Such confidence is nothing less than an 'Invincible Belief'! With this belief, what worries can there be about future achievements?

"Tell me your plan, and I'll help you!"

Tang Wu's words brought a mysterious smile to his lips.

"Teacher, this Cloud Heaven Valley already shows signs of decline. The Outer Sect disciples we recruit nowadays are all of mediocre talent. These resources in their hands are a waste."

"Why not, Teacher, help me obtain these resources?"

"With your help, it's certain that no one will suspect my involvement. When the time comes, all resources will be concentrated in my hands, and with your guidance, breaking through the Second Realm within a month will be as easy as water flowing into a channel, simple and straightforward!"

Old Master, listening in the ring, was slightly startled, but gradually understood the implication.

"You mean..."

"No, Master, you're mistaken!"

Tang Wu shook his head repeatedly, still speaking with confidence: "How can a cultivator obtain resources without being called greedy? Moreover, these resources are wasted on them. It's better to concentrate them in my hands. In the future, when I become an immortal and achieve enlightenment, I'll owe them a favor."

"When the time comes, it will be easy to repay the favor. For them, it will be a heavenly opportunity, far more valuable than these scattered resources they receive now."

"For them, this is a great gain!"

Old Master: "..."

The words sounded reasonable, and at first glance, they seemed logical.

But isn't this still stealing?

Noticing his hesitation, Tang Wu added, "Teacher, please rest assured. Even if this action is somewhat inappropriate, it's my decision, and I'll bear all the consequences!"

"As long as I can help you regain your physical body as soon as possible, these consequences and sins are nothing to me!"

At this moment, Tang Wu's determination was palpable.

It was as if he was saying, "If I don't go to hell, who will?"

Old Master was deeply moved, and for a moment, all his chaotic thoughts vanished.

He immediately said, "Nonsense! As your teacher, and since you're doing this for me, how can I let you bear the consequences alone?"

"I agree to help you."

"But we, teacher and disciple, will bear the consequences together!"

"Teacher!!!"

"You're like my reborn parents!"

"Thank you for your help, Teacher."

Tang Wu was overwhelmed with gratitude.

Old Master was also deeply moved. If he had a physical body, he would have hugged Tang Wu and wept.

"My dear disciple, I'll be your father for life!"

"I know you're an orphan, raised by the Hall of Fists since you were young. I'm your teacher, but I've always treated you as my own child. If I don't help you, who will I help?"

"Teacher!!!"

Tang Wu's tears flowed: "You're too kind!"

"If you don't reject me, I wish to formally address you as my stepfather..."

Old Master was thrilled.

Having no children and being left with only a remnant soul after being killed, he had finally taken in a disciple after so many years. Now, with this kinship, it was perfect!

"My child!"

"Stepfather!!!"

"Sigh~!"

Then, it was time for 'Filial Piety'.

After some 'closeness', Tang Wu said, "With your help, Stepfather, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

"That's right."

Old Master was brimming with confidence: "Tang Wu, my son, you're new to the immortal path and don't know everything."

"Although I was once an Eighth Realm expert, I may not be able to guarantee the safety of Inner Sect elders and Fifth Realm cultivators or above. But for these Outer Sect disciples, with my help, no one will discover you!"

"As long as you're a little more careful, it will be as easy as turning your hand!"

"Thank you, Stepfather!"

"Hey~! We're already father and son, don't be so formal."

Old Master was slightly displeased.

Why is he still being so distant?

Tang Wu was scolded, but he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

How wonderful!

That night, in the Large Dormitory, some people were more outgoing and came over to chat with Tang Wu. However, Tang Wu was very arrogant and didn't even look at them, leaving them embarrassed.

Some wanted to discuss the Dao with him, but Tang Wu ignored them.

But his sharp gaze spoke volumes.

You're not worthy!

After a while, seeing that he was stubborn and unmoved by emotions, his dormmates naturally lost interest in trying to engage with him.

Some slept to rest, while others persevered in their cultivation.

However, as a First Opening Profound Realm cultivator, Tang Wu's strength was still insufficient to replace sleep with cultivation. So, as the night deepened, all his dormmates quietly fell asleep.

"Teacher, how's the situation outside?" Tang Wu silently asked.

"The people in several nearby Outer Sect disciples' residences are already asleep. I assume other places are similar, making it the perfect time to act."

"Good, please help me, Stepfather!"

"Tang Wu, my son, rest assured. I won't fail you, let's go!"

Before long, Tang Wu sneaked out under the cover of night, aided by Old Master in the ring.

With Old Master's assistance, no one could detect him, and the Outer Sect disciples' residences didn't have any formations to speak of.

Even the female disciples' residences only had ordinary formations, mere decorations, at most preventing 'gentlemen' from entering."

Of course, there was no way to stop Tang Wu.

He had silently infiltrated without a trace, and then began a series of operations...

It was the middle of the month.

It wasn't the day for the monthly allowance, but the outer disciples had very limited resources, so they usually saved them up. As a result, most of them still had half or a small portion of their resources left.

Due to their low cultivation realm and status, they almost never had storage bags, so they kept their resources on their person.

However, on this night, they were unknowingly robbed.

One after another, their resources were plundered.

After checking the other dormitories, Old Man 'urged' Tang Wu to return.

But Tang Wu still felt unsatisfied.

"Father, I'm not sure if these resources are enough, but if they aren't, wouldn't it be a waste of effort? In my opinion, it's better to go all the way!"

"What... do you mean by that?"

"Aren't the outer disciples' resources already in your hands?"

"No, there's still the building where I live!"

"I just thought of this, Father. Imagine if everyone wakes up tomorrow and finds their resources missing, except for those in my building, wouldn't we immediately become the prime suspects?"

"So, we can't leave their resources untouched!"

"Also, the servant disciples, they should be included too!"

"Although there's not much, it's still meat that we can't pass up~!"

Old Man: "..."

You're truly ruthless! But what else can I do? He's my own son, so I have to spoil him.

Besides, stealing from one is the same as stealing from ten.

Since we've stolen half of them, we might as well take the rest too.

Moreover, what he said isn't entirely unreasonable. What if it's not enough? Wouldn't it be a waste of effort? Let's continue!!!

Under his 'protection', Tang Wu had free reign. After half an hour, he had also plundered the servant disciples' resources. Then, as he passed by the herb garden of this Spirit Mountain, Tang Wu had another idea.

“Father, do you know how to sneak into this herb garden without making a sound?”

“Although these are grown by the servant disciples, they are not of high rank and not of high years, but they are still spirit herbs, and have some spirituality.”

“If we can take them all…”

“Tang Wu, my son, I don't understand pill cultivation, and I don't even have a pill furnace.”

Old Man felt his scalp tingling.

Why does my eldest son want to steal everything he sees?!

This...

I wanted to make Tang Wu realize the difficulty, but he spoke again: "Father, you're wrong about this. Who says spirit herbs must be taken? Eating them directly is also possible, isn't it?"

Old Man: "..."

I wanted to make Tang Wu realize the difficulty, but he spoke again: "Father, you're wrong about this. Who says spirit herbs must be taken? Eating them directly is also possible, isn't it?"

"Although the effects are far inferior to refined pills, and a lot of the herb's properties will be wasted, but there are still benefits, and they are resources."

"At my current low realm, these spirit herbs should still have a good effect."

"This way, I can also help Father rebuild your physical body sooner."

Old Man: "..."

I wanted to refuse, but considering my eldest son's filial piety, and who wouldn't want to regain their physical body sooner? Let's do it!

He had no choice but to agree.

After finishing all this, Tang Wu returned to his own dormitory and struck again, devouring the resources of his close companions.

What's this about not eating the grass near one's nest?

I, Tang Wu, am not one to leave grass near my nest.

Moreover, I've devoured both the grass near my nest and the grass far away, like plowing the fields. Who would know it was me?!

If I only ate the distant grass and left the grass near my nest, it would expose myself!

When the sun rose in the east, illuminating the sky for millions of miles, cries of surprise echoed from the outer gate of Cloud Heaven Valley.
