Chapter 87: A Sister's Intuition
.....
SHING! SHING!
The first to go were the Middle Nascent Soul Realm assassins, then it was time for the Early Nascent Soul Realm ones to meet King Yama.
At the end of this bloody massacre, all of the assassins were piled up in the form of a small hill of bodies. Looking over the bodies, Lucifer saw a few stragglers who managed to survive the first onslaught, so of course, he killed them off.
Thereafter, his hands traveled through the corpses, looting anything that he felt like taking. Accounting for the gains, he obtained a total of 5,000 low-rank spiritual stones as well as a few million lowest-ranked spiritual stones. Which, from a broad perspective, wasn't that bad of a haul.
"These idiots really thought they were the shit, huh? Up to the very end, these dumb fuckers didn't even receive the time to understand how screwed they were. Well, loot is still loot… Umu!"
Finishing up the looting of all the corpses, Lucifer absorbed their cultivation bases. Watching as his cultivation steadily increased, he wondered just how much more killing he would need to do in order to reach the Half-Step Core Formation Realm.
{[Peak of Late Foundation Establishment]}
{[Absolute Peak of Late Foundation Establishment]}
Although the cultivation improvements were pretty nice, Lucifer was still far from satisfied. So, without dawdling any further, he decided to make himself a home right in the middle of the battlefield!
As for how this would be accomplished, well, the simplest method would obviously be to utilize his control over the elements. So, without further ado, he conjured up the Earth Element and used it in order to make a large dome of dirt. After which, Lucifer subtly activated the nature element and surrounded the dirt dome with a shield of vines and 'nature stuff'.
Following the creation of a cute dome of flowers, dirt, and worm sh*t, he figured the place definitely needed to be spoofed up a bit. So, with the Metal Element, he lifted the dome up off the ground and created a foundation for it.
Realizing that this was not good enough, he further utilized the metal element in order to make something akin to a two-leg cradle. Upon placing the earth nature ball onto a type of rocking clasp, Lucifer used the Water and Earth Elements to create an artificial fountain. Sitting behind the cradle and 30-meter-wide sphere, it really made the place come together.
"Hmm… Something is still missing…" Lucifer looked the place up and down, feeling that something was needed so as to make this cultivation Abode of his truly sublime.
"Ahh, that's what it needs." His eyes brightened up with a spark of innovation as he used the Lightning, Blood, and Mist Elements to create clouds.
The Lightning and Mist Elements created the clouds themselves, whereas the Blood Element was used in the perfect decorating of the clouds with blood streaks and dragon depictions.
"Now, this is what I call a cave abode! Umu!"
Wasting no more of the planet's precious oxygen, Lucifer moved into a birdhouse-like opening of the Nature Ball.
After furnishing the place a little, he set down his little sister and let her do whatever she wished in this secondary home of his.
However, contrary to expectations, Li Yan only seemed to be interested in whatever her big brother was doing…
While practicing the creation of Formations, Lucifer slightly turned his head to the left. Then, with a hint of curiosity, he asked, "Whaddya doing, little squirt?"
Hugging onto her brother's left arm, Li Yan locked eyes with him and said, "Would like to learn…"
Lucifer's brows raised a little at this response.
He never would've expected a 6-year-old to be so eager to learn. But upon remembering what kind of life she lived from his mother's memories, it made a lot more sense.
After thinking the matter over for a second, Lucifer figured it wouldn't harm him to teach her the art of being a Formation Master. So, with a light wave of the hand, he called forth a blue illusory screen.
Teaching the regular way was far too troublesome, so using something efficient like a video with very detailed fabricated instructions was clearly the better route to take.
Upon vividly showing his sister everything that she should do, Lucifer quickly realized something utterly mind-boggling…
"Hey, Li Yan… What the hell is this??"
He was looking at a 6-year-old girl write a formation scroll like she had been doing it for thousands of years!
'What the hell is this bullshit!? In less than half an hour, she has managed to perfectly replicate a Peak Mortal Rank Qi Increasing Formation Scroll!!'
'What sort of magic wizard, Harry Potter fuckpodge am I witnessing right now???'
In half an hour, Lucifer personally watched a complete noob at Formation's go from the Initial Common Rank all the way to the Peak Mortal Rank!
His shock was well warranted! After all, even an Absolute Peak Heaven Rank Talent would not be able to accomplish what his sister had just done!
"Are you the chosen one…?"
"The chosen one…?"
Both brother and sister looked at each other with equally confused expressions.
The silence was only broken when Lucifer conjured up a video on Alchemy. Wanting to test just how far her talent extended, he figured this was the best choice he could make.
However, after a few minutes of going through Runes, Formations, Alchemy, Spirit Cooking, Beast Taming, Arrays, and a plethora of other professions, Lucifer realized…
"Hmm… So your talent in everything else is sh*t, but for Formations, you are what? The f*cking godsent child from above!?"
Lucifer sat in a cross-legged position, scrutinizing the existence of his only family member.
Li Yan was extremely confused about what was going on. However, seeing that her big brother wasn't particularly angry about what he found out, she asked, "Useful…?"
"Hmm… Yeah, you are extremely useful. Yep, yep, lots of things can now be sped up ahead of time. And considering that your talent is not spread out like mine, you are likely in possession of some special Physique or a different form of bullsh*t cultivation parameter."
Lucifer repeatedly nodded his head, fully understanding the extent to which Li Yan could show her usefulness like she so badly wanted.
"..."
Even though Li Yan's expression was apathetic and seemingly oblivious to what her brother was saying, in reality, she couldn't be any more excited!
This was her chance to be useful!
Although she had not a damn clue on what exactly she should be doing, as long as her big brother was happy, then she too was happy!
One might ask how Li Yan knew that her brother was happy?
And the simple answer was a sister's intuition.
As for the long answer… well, there was no long answer, so go and f*ck oneself.
