Chapter 243 I Have a Life-Preserving Treasure?

“Junior Brother Meng, why don’t you do the honors? You are faster,” said King Luyue with a smile .

Meng Chuan nodded . “Okay . ”

Meng Chuan’s Darkstar domain enveloped the four of them, and with a whoosh, they transformed into a bolt of lightning and headed straight for Luo Tang Pass .

King Luyue and Blackrock were somewhat alarmed . To fly at such insane speeds while carrying the three of them was truly unbelievable .

“You are still much faster than me despite carrying the three of us,” said King Luyue wistfully . “It’s no wonder that Lightning Devastator Fiend Body Marquis Godfiends are at the top of the world in regards to speed . In this day and age, only when one is fast can they protect a larger territory . It’d be good if we humans had more powerful Godfiends that cultivate the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body . Unfortunately, it’s too difficult to cultivate . ”

“It’s difficult . ” Meng Chuan nodded .

The 12 transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies could be separated into three different cultivation difficulty levels . The Phoenix Divine Body and the Dragon Divine Body were in a different category altogether because one required the prerequisite bloodline just to begin cultivating them .

Next, the five more difficult transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies: Samsara Divine Body, Great Strength Fiend Body, Archean Divine Body, Lightning Devastator Fiend Body, and Thirteen Swordbane Fiend Body . Very few Godfiends mastered these Godfiend bodies . Among the Marquis Godfiends and Regis Godfiends in the world, there weren’t more than a handful of them . For example, Meng Chuan was currently the only Lightning Devastator Fiend Body Marquis Godfiend in the world .

The last five transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies are the easiest to cultivate out of the 12 transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies . Xue Feng, Yan Jin, Xiao Yunyue, Yan Chitong, and others, cultivated one of these lower-difficulty transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies .

“Luo Tang Pass . ” Meng Chuan and company saw Luo Tang Pass from afar . It was an extremely bustling and beautiful city . In recent years, since the demons had invaded the human world en masse, many people had moved to Luo Tang Pass . Many towns had appeared around Luo Tang Pass .

“Luo Tang Pass’s population has exceeded 20 million . ” King Luyue looked down and sighed . “Over the past few years, too many people have rushed here . ”

“The population of Jiang State Capital, Wu State Capital, and many other state capitals have increased greatly over the past few years,” said Meng Chuan . “The populations of Jiang State Capital and Wu State Capital are now more than ten million . However, it isn’t easy to provide for ten million people daily . The most lacking resource is food! We need more people to produce food . ”

“Yes, food . ” King Luyue nodded . “I heard that several of our Archean Mountain’s grotto-heaven worlds are currently planting food . Unfortunately, the grotto-heaven worlds are rather small . The foundation of those worlds is limited . The amount of food that can be grown in our grotto-heaven worlds is far inferior to what the outside world can produce . There is plenty of land here, but with the demons wreaking havoc…”

Meng Chuan nodded . Luo Tang Pass, some state capitals, and prefectures had a large increase in population, causing them to become more and more prosperous . However, this prosperity came with massive costs . The total human population was actually declining, and the living environment in other places was much worse .

“City Lord Manor . ” King Luyue pointed at the most conspicuous building complex . “Supremacy Luo Tang is there . I’ll bring you there . ”

Whoosh .

The group of four flew to City Lord Manor and landed in a pavilion .

“The demon monarch and I will stay here for now . ” King Luyue smiled as he pointed at the limestone road ahead . “Follow this path and enter the garden in front . You will see the two Supremacies . The two Supremacies want to meet you first . ”

“Senior Brother Gu, we will head over first . ” Meng Chuan led his wife, Liu Qiyue, over to the garden . They walked across the limestone road and entered the garden .

In the garden, they could see an illusory Supremacy Qin Wu sitting opposite Supremacy Luo Tang as they played chess .

“Come, it’s your turn . ” Supremacy Luo Tang became more confident after she made a move .

The illusory Qin Wu frowned as he pondered his next move . Every time he appeared, Luo Tang forced him to play chess . It always left him with a headache .

“Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue are here . ” Qin Wu immediately put down his chess piece and smiled at the couple . “Luo Tang, let’s get down to business first . ”

Luo Tang could only turn to look at Meng Chuan and his wife .

“Greetings, Master, Supremacy . ” Meng Chuan bowed respectfully .

“Greetings, Master, Aunt-Master . ” Liu Qiyue was equally respectful .

“Tell me what happened,” said Qin Wu with a smile . “From the looks of it, both of you have changed drastically . ”

Meng Chuan and his wife exchanged looks before Meng Chuan took the initiative to say, “Qiyue and I received a request for help from Eastcalm Prefecture’s Zhenyou County . Therefore, we immediately rushed over . To our surprise, a fourth Firmament demon monarch as strong as a peak Marquis Godfiend was hiding there . It used its domain to trap us . It wanted to kill us, so Qiyue was forced to cast Phoenix’s Nirvana…”

The entire ordeal was explained in detail .

“I chased after the greater demon monarch and waited for Senior Brother Gu to arrive,” said Meng Chuan .

“You broke through during such a dire situation?” Qin Wu and Luo Tang exchanged looks as they felt a lingering fear .

Such actions were really risky . Archean Mountain had placed many hopes on Meng Chuan .

“There was nothing else I could do . I wanted to save Qiyue,” said Meng Chuan . Although Liu Qiyue felt that her husband had taken a huge risk, she still felt delighted .

“Thankfully, you have a third-level Essence Soul . It’s much stronger than a first-level Essence Soul that’s needed to become a Marquis Godfiend . ” Qin Wu shook his head . “Don’t take such risks in the future . Your life isn’t just yours . It affects many others as well . ”

Meng Chuan said, “I understand . By the way, I used the Soul-Vanquishing Spike to deal with the greater demon monarch . It knows about my third-level Essence Soul . ”

“Remember to keep your third-level Essence Soul a secret . ” Qin Wu looked at Liu Qiyue . “Liu Qiyue, if this secret is leaked, it will bring great trouble to your husband . ” “I’ll definitely keep it a secret . ” Liu Qiyue nodded .

“Although you have experienced some danger, it’s a joyous occasion for us humans to see the both of you become Marquis Godfiends,” said Qin Wu with a smile .

“Both of us become Marquis Godfiends?” Meng Chuan was taken aback .

Luo Tang laughed . “You might not be aware of it, but your wife has already condensed an Essence Soul . ”

Meng Chuan looked at Liu Qiyue .

“Yes . ” Liu Qiyue smiled and nodded . “When I maintained Phoenix’s Nirvana, my soul kept strengthening . Now, I have condensed an Essence Soul . ”

Since Liu Qiyue had an Essence Soul and had reached the Realm of Dao, she only needed to enter seclusion and break through to the Darkstar realm .

“The reason why she was able to condense an Essence Soul so quickly was because she cast Phoenix’s Nirvana for a long time,” said Luo Tang . “She lost 18 years of her lifespan . Typically, one wouldn’t need to cast Phoenix’s Nirvana for so long . After her strength increases greatly, she should immediately stop casting Phoenix’s Nirvana after shooting a handful of arrows at her enemies . Typically, she would only lose one year of her lifespan . ”

“She lost 18 years of her lifespan?” Meng Chuan looked at Liu Qiyue .

Liu Qiyue was one year younger than himshe was only 37 years old . However, she had lost 18 years of her lifespan after casting Phoenix’s Nirvana?

Liu Qiyue smiled . “Marquis Godfiends have a 300-year lifespan . ”

“Two Marquis Godfiends are much more useful . Archean Mountain’s arrangements for the two of you will also change,” said Qin Wu with a smile . “Return to Gu Mountain Prefecture City and wait . Your new arrangements will be decided soon . ”

“Yes . ” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue nodded . They were proud that they could be of greater use .

“Meng Chuan, give me your identity token,” said Luo Tang suddenly .

Meng Chuan was slightly puzzled . He took out his identity token and placed it on the chessboard .

Every Archean Mountain disciple had an identity token . They could use it to request for help, and it also allowed Archean Mountain to keep track of whether they were alive or not .

Whoosh .

Luo Tang flipped her hand and took out an illusory golden sword from Meng Chuan’s identity token .

“This is?” Meng Chuan was astonished . He had never realized that an illusory golden sword had been hidden in his identity token . Just looking at the illusory golden sword made Meng Chuan feel suppressed and horrified .

It held a terrifying might .

“Your master thinks highly of you . ” Luo Tang shot a glance at the illusory Qin Wu . “Before you left the mountain, he gave you this treasure to protect you from any accidents that befell on you . ”

Meng Chuan understood that he actually had a treasure that could save his life . Before this, he had no idea of its existence at all .

“If you had known about this treasure, how would you hone your strength?” asked Qin Wu with a smile . “To be honest, I hoped that you would never need to use it . However, now that you’ve become a Marquis Godfiend, this treasure won’t be of much use to you . Your strength and life-preservation means should be enough to guarantee your safety now . This treasure can only kill ordinary fifth Firmament demon monarchs . ”
