Chapter 490:[ Days in the Passing Cloud Labyrinth ]

Si Mulan was having a complex feeling right now.

A mass of murderous qi rose from her but then disappeared, and then rose again…

"You goddamn liar!" She gritted her teeth while staring at Allen fiercely, with cold lights shining in her eyes. She really felt betrayed and fooled--the pain in her heart was like someone had torn it apart, pieces by pieces!

She slapped on Allen’s face again and shouted, “You said that you are not a cultivator and I almost believe you—Hahaha, good, good, indeed…” Si Mulan smiled but her pair of gem-like eyes started to moist. Allen could detect that something was brewing within her.

It seemed… rather ominous.

Just as he felt a sensation of danger and was about to do something to defuse it, Si Mulan opened her mouth and spoke. “Why did you lie…?”

A low, chilling voice came from her.

“What are you talking about?” Allen cocked his head to the left, confusion colored his eyes.

“I said, why did you lie!!?” A voice from gritting teeth came out.

“Outsider? Not cultivator? If you are not a cultivator then how are you able to raise your cultivation to King stage in just an instant?! Answer me, you bastard liar!!”

Si Mulan stared at his face, and the expression on her face was changing again and again.

Hate, anger, confusion…

But--

“I didn’t lie…” Allen stared at her stubbornly. “I am not cultivator—I am a High Human ascended…”

“No, that is not possible!! If you are, you should have a hard time adapting to HouTian Qi. Your cultivation wouldn’t skyrocket in an instant! Even an Ascended deity would start at the beginning!! Cultivation and Western Arts are completely different!!” Si Mulan muttered coldly.

However, that is only for normal people. Allen was, before he was an Ascended Deity, he was a Monster King!

His perception of not only mana but also energy was extremely incredible, way beyond other existence.

Besides, he had already done almost the same before! He was cultivating Chakra aside from mana… Chakra cultivation has the same almost origin with the Qi Cultivation. In some particular aspects, they chared common similarities.

Furthermore, with the help of his Chakra Organs and Magic Organs, he cultivated not just normal HouTian Qi but Pure Xiantian Qi…!

This made a huge difference from other cultivators!

Normal HouTian Qi was used by normal cultivators and only when they reached the Xiantian stage would they be able to conjure Pure Qi—known as Xiantian Qi and that is when they had reached Foundation Building Rank!

However, Allen had already achieved Xiantian Foundation due to him receiving Pure Qi instead of normal Qi that has numerous impurities within it!

In addition, his body was already far above normal human—his God foundation wasn't just for show! His body physique is far more miraculous than most ordinary God Physiques. His Magic power capacity is stronger than Si Mulan could ever imagine!

Furthermore, due to his young age, his potential was still quite flexible compared to other ascended Gods. This was one of the factors that made him above that of normal God Existence. Thus, he would have no problem learning other things as well…!

That is his greatest advantage compared to other people, especially cultivators. He perceives the world’s essence much better than other people due to him being a God—it can even be said that he was already World’s favorite son. All energy is for him to take—!!

This moment, Si Mulan was staring at Allen, who was looking at her as well. In her eyes, there was more and more only complex feelings.

What is this…?

Obviously, Allen didn’t tell her that he was an ascended god but Allen’s eyes were pure and honest, causing Si Mulan to start doubting her suspicion. Is he really not lying…?

Is there such heaven-defying person in this world…?

Si Mulan couldn’t believe it…!

No, she doesn’t want to believe! Shooting towards King Realm in an instant when he was just starting cultivation was unheard of! It was totally impossible!

He just jumped pass the genius level and straight to the freak. Even being a monster has its limit, if not, what is the will of heaven that people tried to either follow or go against...

This law of the world even did exist...?

Extremely inconceivable!

But it did happen in front of her…!

Si Mulan looked at Allen as if she was looking a ghost in broad daylight…

What did I do? That was the only thing that had appeared inside her mind. She was the one who had taught him… taught this kind of monster…!

What did I start…?

*** ***

“Alright, for now, I don’t have a choice but to wait here for the time being. Baishe and the others would certainly come here without a doubt,” Once again surveying the vast and peaceful forest in front of him, Allen sighs helplessly.

Allen stood on a mountain peak, looking out at the so-called [ Passing Cloud Labyrinth ]

Its beauty filled his heart, causing it to swell.

He started to walk down the mountain.

Although he had managed to recover much energy within him. However, he seems to have underestimated the injury in his Magic Organ. It was still not working properly though it wouldn’t be a problem for the time being as he had finally managed to accumulate much mana to supply his [ Flawless Restoration ] ability and was now slowly nourishing the damaged Magic Organ.

And he was slowly supplying his mana deficiency with his Qi and Chakra but the speed of it was extremely slow as only leftover energy can be allocated to his Magic Reserve. However, as for Qi and Chakra Cultivation, now that he had focused on this two, Allen found out that they were actually rising at an incredible speed.

Right now, he was almost at Kage level while his Qi cultivation realm almost breaks through Peak King stage.

If Na*ruto knows about this he might really cry...

Allen leaped out from the pile of rocks before jumping down the small mountain peak, full of vigor. Returning towards the cave, Allen jogged and after a few minutes, he arrived.

After entering the cave, he saw Si Mulan who was originally lying on the stone bed was now resting her cheek on her palms as she sat idly on a slab of rock. As she saw Allen return, she could not help but faintly smile and say, “You’ve returned.”

The early outburst that she had shown a few days ago had somehow elevated after explaining some things. Though, other worries came out.

Allen smiled as he nodded in reply. He walked closer and took out a few fat fish he had caught from the lake a few dozen meters away from the cave. He seated himself on the ground, lit a fire and casually said, “The monsters around the area was already been examined. With Xinghong’s help, all the powerful monsters exceeding—ah what was that, oh yeah, Emperor Realm, had been chased away to the deepest region. Even if you started hunting for your entrance examination as well as raising your cultivation, you can now do them both without a problem…”

“That’s good! I’m getting bored staying here!” Si Mulan muttered happily.

After they had started living with each other, Si Mulan taught Allen what she knew while Allen handles the chore of gathering fruit and foods.

The outside forest was dangerous. Thus, Allen volunteered to do so. Because he had his [ Goro Goro no Mi ] and Xinghong, he wasn’t really that worried about the monsters outside.

Ever since they had started living together, Allen noticed that Si Mulan seemed to have no longer shown him that previous frigid arrogance and coldness she radiated in the past.

She seemed to have slowly accepted Allen. Although there were still some barriers between them, it was already thin as Allen could feel that their relationship should be approaching the best friends level. All this time, both of them wholeheartedly committed themselves to cultivation.

“Mulan, take a break, and come eat something,” Allen called to her for lunch.

“Coming~” Si Mulan climb down from the bed and approached Allen without worry, bringing waves of faint fragrance as she arrived at his side. “Wow, today’s a generous serving of good fruits and fish.”

Allen laughed: “Ah, yes, today Xinghong and I rode around in a big circle. It seems that we won’t have to go out for two days with this.”

Skewering the fish on tree sticks, Allen placed them on a rack over the flame and then turned his head to gaze towards Si Mulan beside him. “What?”

Gracefully seating herself, the beautiful eyes of Si Mulan stared at Allen as he continuously sprinkled seasoning on the fish, smiling while she answered, “Nothing... I just thought I had never expected for things to happen like this…” Si Mulan’s flashed a melancholic look.

“Never did I expected that I would find someone here and even be protected by a man… though I don’t want to admit it, without you here, I might certainly have been returned to the starting point, worst… died…”

“Nah, that is what I should say,” Allen smiled, turning back his head to continued, “You should not forget, my body was in a grave danger before you met me…”

“I don’t think so… I have the feeling that even without me, nothing would happen to you…” Si Mulan grinned.

“… …” Allen shrugged. Probably, it’s not like he would die that easily…

While grilling the fish, Allen picked up a fruit and bit down. Sweet juices poured into his mouth. “Right, my injuries are almost completely healed, so we’ll be departing soon. The troublesome monsters in the area were also solved as well…”

Hearing Allen’s words, Si Mulan’s expression somewhat dimmed but it recovered immediately, and she said, “Don’t stress, you can relax a few more days. It won’t be too late for us to depart after you completely recovered.”

“Really? Don’t you have only a month here? You need points right?”

“It’s fine… killing a few monsters here I can gather enough points to pass. Besides, the herbs inside this cave are extremely rare and precious—them alone gives me a huge advantage compared to other disciples.”

"I see..."

“But still, you really won’t take anything? We can divide it ourselves, you know…”

“Nah, I’m fine…” Allen refused. He wasn’t alchemist or any potion or pill makers whatsoever. Besides, Agathi should have taken so many herbs and plants in the Blood Desert Oasis, enough for her to concoct many elixirs and potions.

He doesn't want to act stingy about it. Si Mulan seemed to be needing it more than him~

“... Your choice,” Si Mulan replied with a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eyes.

After eating, Allen and Si Mulan respectively returned their own cultivation as they sat cross-legged together.

This kind of lifestyle lasted only after three days, where Allen has managed to fully recover his Magic Organ through [ Flawless Restoration ] finally. At this moment, his power finally returned to at least 60% of his peak. Although there was still some damage in several of his internal organs, Allen didn’t worry now since he now able to replenish his magic power.

His recovery was really out of his expectation—he had actually managed to do it faster than his imagination. Thus, he can now use his Summoning Grimoire again.

However, when Allen contacted Baishe and the others to relieve them of their worries, he had learned that they were on their way towards the Divine Martial Continent already, riding a ship.

And from them, Allen had also managed to know that his and Hanjin’s fight caused a massive commotion, causing the entire Water City Port to become somewhat chaotic.
