Chapter 208: All-Round Enhancement
I’ve succeeded .
Meng Chuan sat cross-legged in the chamber . With a thought, the Soul-Vanquishing Spike flew out from his consciousness . It was a weapon condensed from the Power of Essence Soul . It was invisible to the naked eye, and one’s body and Quintessential Essence were unable to block it .
Swoosh!
The Soul-Vanquishing Spike passed through the wall as though it didn’t exist and flew out of the chamber . It circled the courtyard twice before shooting out into the night sky . After flying the Soul-Vanquishing Spike for a while, it returned to his sea of consciousness .
I can perfectly control the Soul-Vanquishing Spike within 500 feet . It’s extremely fast and agile . Meng Chuan realized his current limitations in regards to controlling the Soul-Vanquishing Spike . Once it is over 500 feet from, my control over it will gradually weaken . My control over it within 1,000 feet is still okay . Once it’s more than 1,000 feet away, my control over it rapidly decreases . I’ll lose complete control of it after it is over 2,000 feet away from me .
His perception of the Soul-Vanquishing Spike had blurred when it was over 2,000 feet from him, so he immediately retrieved it . It’s sufficient to use it to deal with enemies within 1000 feet . Meng Chuan nodded slightly .
Following that, he began to experiment with other mystic techniques . With a third-level Essence Soul, the Soul-Vanquishing Spike was the most powerful mystic technique . It was the only technique that required a condensed Essence Soul weapon . However, the other mystic techniques had their own traits . For instance, Hallucination Soul Draw and the Soul Splintering Wave were useful techniques . He needed to master these techniques because it could prove useful in dire situations in the future .
…
Dawn, the next morning . In Meng Chuan’s study .
“Qiyue, do you need any treasures from the sect?” inquired Meng Chuan .
“Not for now . ” Liu Qiyue shook her head .
Meng Chuan nodded and wrote a letter . Then, he rolled it up and placed it in a metal tube .
“Little Gray,” Meng Chuan shouted .
Swoosh .
A gray bird flew in from the window and landed on the desk . It was the third Firmament avian demon monarch that Meng Chuan and his wife had bought from the sect for 1 . 5 million credits .
“Send this letter to Archean Mountain . Archean Mountain will give you a gourd of pills . Bring it back for me,” instructed Meng Chuan .

“Yes, Master . ” The gray bird spoke human language . It opened its mouth and put the metal tube into its mouth before flying away .
“You’re getting 390 Scarlet Blood Divine Pills?” Liu Qiyue asked in surprise . “Do you need that much?”
“I expend a lot of Quintessential Essence to cultivate my physical body technique . If I use the Heaven and Earth powers to replenish my Quintessential Essence, I’ll only finish cultivating this technique after ten years . During those ten years, I would have to cultivate for several hours a day . With the Scarlet Blood Divine Pills, two hours of body cultivation a day will allow me to master it within a year . Once I master this physical body technique, my body will be comparable to a Man-grade divine armament . Even my head will no longer be a vital spot . I can even regenerate severed limbs given time,” explained Meng Chuan with a smile .
“It’s that amazing?” Liu Qiyue was a little excited .
Meng Chuan nodded .
The body cultivation system’s Divine Power realm—the third realm—was naturally powerful . One gained several Marquis Godfiend characteristics . The only thing the Divine Power realm lacked was the Darkstar Domain . A Divine Power realm expert’s overall offensive strength might be weaker, but their physical body was stronger and more resilient than that of a Marquis Godfiend . Their bodies no longer possessed any vital points . One could be stabbed in the head, heart, and dantian and wouldn’t die . Instead, they could maintain 70 to 80 percent of their normal strength . After some time, they would recover from such injuries completely and return to peak physical state .
If one reached the Undying realm—the fourth realm—they could completely suppress Marquis Godfiends with just their physical bodies . With immense strength and a nigh-indestructible and undying body, the enemy could strike their previous vital points as many times as they wanted, but Undying experts would recover in the blink of an eye . Undying experts could regrow their severed limbs instantly . In aspects such as physical strength and vitality, Undying experts would reach an inconceivable, monstrous level .
Blood Droplet experts—the fifth realm—were incomparably tough to deal with . They were difficult to kill . Even if their bodies were to be smashed to smithereens and their blood completely scattered, they would instantly recover if even a single strand of hair or a drop of blood was left behind .
This body cultivation system was stronger than the Godfiend Quintessential Essence system . However, there were two major flaws . One flaw was that this body cultivation system required Cosmos Crystals . The second flaw was that it demanded much from one’s Essence Soul attainments .

For example, one required a fourth-level Essence Soul to cultivate the Undying realm . In reality, the numerous mystic techniques for fourth-level Essence Souls were terrifying when it came to Marquis Godfiends . This body cultivation system didn’t showcase its powerful advantages in the beginning, but its advantages gradually became apparent during the mid and late stages .
The further one went with this body cultivation system, the harder it was to kill them . Unfortunately, the limit for Meng Chuan was the Blood Droplet realm unless he could find Cosmos Crystals—which only existed in other worlds .
Of course, for Archean Mountain’s predecessors to obtain and hide this legacy at Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven meant that there had to be a tiny amount of Cosmos Crystals . Clearly, one could obtain Cosmos Crystals, but it was very difficult to find them . Archean Mountain had only obtained a tiny amount of Cosmos Crystals to date .
“Not only that, but I’ll also have a divine power after I master it,” said Meng Chuan . “Just like how demon monarchs can gain divine powers, this mystic technique can also give me divine powers . ”
“Truly impressive . It’s no wonder the Supremacy looked for you before we left the mountain . ” Liu Qiyue was also happy for her husband .
The same evening, the bird returned with a gourd of Scarlet Blood Divine Pills . Meng Chuan began his cultivation of the Divine Power realm .
This gourd of Scarlet Blood Divine Pills cost him 3 . 9 million credits! The Quiescence Frost baneful aura—something he needed for his cultivation—required 8 million credits . Meng Chuan felt that his contributions and credit were lacking .
…
The couple was deployed on another rescue mission .
Liu Qiyue spread her flaming wings and looked down from midair .
“Kill!” Meng Chuan’s Power of Essence Soul fused with his Great Solar Quintessential Essence . He had an inconceivable level of control over his Quintessential Essence . The vast majority of Marquis Godfiends were unable to control their Quintessential Essence so precisely . This made Meng Chuan’s movements more agile and his saber arts faster . In an instant, he could execute several saber attacks! His strength had reached a brand new level .
The control over one’s Quintessential Essence granted by fusing one’s third-level Power of Essence Soul was truly terrifying . The maximum strength he could unleash after fusing the third-level Power of Essence Soul with his body and Quintessential Essence was much greater than when he did it with the second-level Power of Essence Soul .
The saber beam sliced through the demon monarchs’ body like paper .
Before the five demon monarchs could escape 300 feet, they were sliced apart by Meng Chuan’s saber beam . Only then did Meng Chuan reveal his existence . He was still awed by his new levels of strength . The first time he used his third-level Essence Soul to control his Quintessential Essence during a battle made him feel like everything was under his control . He believed that he could fight Blackwater Palace Lord alone with his present strength .
If he were to fuse the Power of Essence Soul with his body and Quintessential Essence and cast forbidden Godfiend spells, he could easily kill Blackwater Palace Lord with his Essence Soul mystic techniques .
I’ve actually improved by so much . A third-level Essence Soul enhances all aspects of strength so greatly . Meng Chuan was delighted . Since his wife was pregnant in such an era, Meng Chuan wanted to be as strong as possible . Only by becoming stronger could he better protect his wife and children .
Swoosh!
The five demon monarchs collapsed, leaving the Godfiend team—that requested for help—shocked .
The demon monarch team that had suppressed them was easily wiped out by Meng Chuan . The five demon monarchs tried to flee in different directions but failed to move 300 feet before dying . Clearly, Meng Chuan had killed the five demon monarchs in the blink of an eye . None of the five demon monarchs managed to fend off a single attack . Such strength reminded this Godfiend team of a Marquis Godfiend .
“Senior Brother Meng must have reached the strength of a weak Marquis Godfiend . ”
“How long has Senior Brother Meng been cultivating; yet, he’s already this strong? He’s probably not far from becoming a Marquis . ”
“Senior Brother Meng is truly stunning . ”
These fellow disciples were astounded by Meng Chuan’s display of strength . Liu Qiyue was even more delighted than them as she watched from above . Her radiant smile hung on her face as she lowered her head and stroked her abdomen gently .
When she was pregnant, she especially hoped for a sense of security . Now that Meng Chuan’s strength had reached a stunning level, Liu Qiyue felt even safer .

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

Wanna Join a Band? (TodoBakuDeku)
Izuku Midoriya was a college student, just trying to get his teaching degree. He had been living in the sam duplex house for a year now and hadn't had any problems with the elderly woman who lived below him. She was a quiet and lovely neighbor. Until she died. Sike, I'm not that terrible guys. She just got put into an assisted living thing. Which meant the bottom floor was up for rent and it didn't take long for Izuku's landlord to find a new tenant, or tenants. Katsuki Bakugou and Shoto Todoroki were the two guys that moved in below Izuku. They were also in a band. A very loud band. Izuku was close to going crazy with all the noise he now had to live with and the two wouldn't quiet down, even after he asked, multiple times. Eventually, Izuku listens to them practice so much, one of their songs gets stuck in his head. He takes out the trash, not even realizing that he was singing it softly to himself. Until the two boys hear him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Izuku threw the bag into the dumpster on the side of the house, softly singing the lyrics that were now stuck in his head. "Hey, that's our song." A voice said from behind him. Izuku snapped his attention to the two guys sitting on the stairs of his front door. "It's stuck in my head because neither of you seem to have common courtesy to practice somewhere else." Izuku snapped back, not wanting to deal with either of the arrogant males.Shoto seemed unfazed by his attitude. "You've got a nice voice." He mused. Izuku eyed him suspiciously, not trusting his compliment. "Thanks I guess." He muttered. "Wanna join a band?"
