Chapter 320 On the Mountain

Meng Chuan and the other Marquis Godfiends listened obediently. King Calm Sea didn’t say a word as King True Martial chuckled and said, “Everything went smoothly. We spent the rest of our time cultivating in the World Gap. We had two major battles because of the Spacetime Floating Ice and the Origins treasure. The first time was a month after we entered the World Gap. There were two peak fifth Firmament demon monarchs, Greater Demon Monarch Black Wind and City Lord White Cloud. Thankfully, Junior Brother Meng’s movement technique is outstanding. It was quite easy for us to snatch the treasures before killing a demon monarch.”

“Meng Chuan’s movement technique?” Li Guan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang looked at Meng Chuan.

“Junior Brother Meng played a huge role in both battles. If it weren’t for him, the demons would definitely have snatched the Origins treasure. If the fire pheasant greater demon monarch had flown alone, we might not have been able to catch up with it without Junior Brother Meng,” said King True Martial wistfully.

King Calm Sea, who had been silent for a long time, finally said, “The credit first goes to Senior Brother Wang, followed by Junior Brother Meng.”

When Meng Chuan heard that, he immediately said, “All the hard work in dealing with the enemy was thanks to my two senior brothers. I only contributed my speed.”

“If it weren’t for Junior Brother Xue, I wouldn’t have been able to kill Blood Shura. We also mightn’t have been able to obtain the Origins treasure,” said King True Martial.

“Haha, that’s enough. We understand.” Li Guan chuckled. “How’s your cultivation progress?”

“Our progress is slow, but the three juniorswho are still at the Darkstar realm-have gained quite a bit,” said King True Martial. “After two months in the World Gap, Junior Brother Yan reached the peak of the Realm of Dao. After half a year, Junior Brother Xue Feng mastered the Fifteen Golden Wind Swords and reached the Dharma Domain realm. After nine months, Junior Brother Meng reached the peak of the Realm of Dao.”

He knew what the Supremacies were concerned about, so he shared the key points.

“Oh?” The three Supremacies nodded slightly when they heard that. This was within their expectations.

“The Spacetime Floating Ice and Origins treasure has to be handed to the sect. You can’t use them anyway,” said Li Guan. “We will award you credits based on your individual contributions. As for the other treasures? You can keep them. If you can’t use them, you can also hand them to the sect for credits.”

“Let’s exchange them for credit.”

Meng Chuan, Yan Chitong, and Xue Feng began to take out the treasures they obtained. Many of these treasures were unheard of, so it was naturally difficult for them to put to good use. Meng Chuan had acquired many spoils of war in the past few years. For example, he had given almost all of the spoils of war he had obtained from killing fourth and fifth Firmament demon monarchs to the sect. This allowed Meng Chuan to accumulate over 1.1 billion credits! Most of the credits were from killing underground demon monarchs.

He accumulated more than one million credits every day. After two years of hunting, his total was astonishing. In regards to accumulating credits, even King True Martial and King Calm Sea couldn’t compare to Meng Chuan. In the entire human world, only King White Treasure had accumulated an equally astonishing amount of credits.

“Xue Feng’s two treasures are worth 80 million credits altogether. Yan Chitong’s three treasures are worth 90 million credits. Meng Chuan’s three treasures are also worth 90 million credits.” Li Guan quickly made a judgment on the approximate value of the treasures. “The distribution of credits for the Spacetime Floating Ice and the Origins treasure will be given to you after we carefully examine them.”

Meng Chuan and company listened.

“The three of you came out about a month early. Do you plan on entering again?” Li Guan looked at the three Godfiends.

“There’s no need,” said Meng Chuan, Yan Chitong, and Xue Feng.

After watching the birth of a world for so long, an additional month didn’t make much of a difference.

“Alright. King True Martial and King Calm Sea will stay behind. The three of you can return first,” said Li Guan. “If there’s anything you wish to exchange for, you can ask Elder Yi for it.”

“Yes.” Meng Chuan and company bowed.

Yan Chitong and Xue Feng’s contributions were decided. There were no other variables that could affect how much credits they earned. Meng Chuan would receive credits for his contribution in obtaining the Spacetime Floating Ice and Origins treasure, but he didn’t care about it.

Meng Chuan and company flew away.

“Senior Brother Meng, I’ll trouble you with the matter regarding my brother, Yan Jin,” said Xue Feng via voice transmission.

“Leave it to me. I’ll meet him later,” replied Meng Chuan via voice transmission.

Xue Feng was relieved. He and Yan Chitong went to Treasure Repository first. After all, they had been “poor” for too long. There were many things they wanted to exchange for. Meng Chuan flew to Bright Scenic Peak to meet his children.

Bright Scenic Peak, Meng Chuan’s cave abode —which was also Meng An’s cave abode now.

When he arrived, his children were rather excited.

“Dad.”

“Dad.”

Meng You and Meng An were very happy to see their father.

“Hey.” Meng Chuan looked at his children and nodded in satisfaction. His son, Meng An, came to the mountain at the age of 13. Back then, he looked like a young teenager. Now, he was 16 years old. Due to his cultivation, he was a handsome youth. His daughter, Meng You, had also grown up. His daughter had changed tremendously.

“How’s life on the mountain?” asked Meng Chuan.

“It’s very lively on the mountain,” said Meng An immediately. “Us fellow disciples often spar and compete with each other.”

“It’s lively?” Meng Chuan was taken aback before coming to a realization. Back when he and Liu Qiyue were cultivating on the mountain, it wasn’t that lively. Most of their fellow disciples cultivated alone. They would only attend gatherings at Dao Exchange Peak occasionally. Now that the demon monarchs lurked everywhere in the world, most Great Solar Godfiends stayed on the mountain. There were many more Godfiends than before, so it was naturally much more lively. Many Godfiends, especially Great Solar Godfiends, had slow improvement. It was no longer suitable for them to cultivate arduously. Gatherings, spars, and competitions naturally increased. “It’s very lively.” Meng You smiled happily. “Many senior brothers are pursuing my sister,” said Meng An immediately. “Oh?” Meng Chuan’s heart tightened. Chasing after my daughter? I have to vet them! Don’t try to cheat my daughter.

“I ignored them all,” said Meng You immediately. “It’s naturally more important to cultivate to become a Godfiend first.”

“That’s right. The two of you are only 16 years old. Work hard to become Godfiends,” said Meng Chuan. “How’s your cultivation?”

Meng You said, “The Azure Lotus Divine Body I chose is rather difficult to cultivate. Uncle Yan often guides me, allowing my cultivation to be much smoother. I’ve already attained Lesser Mastery of the Azure Lotus Divine Body, but Greater Mastery might take another year. As for Perfection, I’m not confident.”

“Don’t be anxious. Just take it one step at a time. It’s fine if you spend a few more years.” Meng Chuan was rather satisfied. She had already attained Lesser Mastery of the Azure Lotus Divine Body? Yan Jin was even helping her?“The Samsara Divine Body I chose is indeed rather difficult. I haven’t mastered it despite spending three years on it,” said Meng An softly.

“Do you want to switch to another Godfiend body formula?” asked Meng Chuan. “There’s no need. I’m confident I can master it.” Meng An’s eyes were filled with confidence. “I’ve already mastered three different Intents. I have some ideas about the remaining two.”

Meng Chuan felt poignant when he heard that. His son’s talent was much higher than his. Meng An had attained three different Intents at the age of 16!

The Samsara Divine Body was created by Ancestral Master Archean Eon. The Samsara spear art was the most profound technique of the human race. Meng Chuan agreed with his son’s chosen path. However, it was too difficult to attain basic mastery. Only by comprehending five different elemental Intents and fusing them into the Samsara Intent could one master the Samsara Divine Body. Meng An was a peerless genius, and he was very compatible with the Samsara spear art. Even so, it remained difficult for him to master the Samsara Divine Body.

After a long chat and dinner with his children, Meng Chuan headed to Fluttering Snow Peak to meet Yan Jin.

Snowflakes flew everywhere. It snowed most of the year here.

“Meng Chuan, you’re here.” Yan Jin took the initiative to come to the entrance of his cave abode to welcome Meng Chuan. He had also been part of a Godfiend team a few years ago. As he fought with other Godfiends in life-and-death battles, his cold bearingwhich kept people at bay—had lightened significantly. However, he still didn’t have many friends. He only had a handful of friends on Archean Mountain.

“How’s life on the mountain?” Meng Chuan smiled as he walked in.
