Chapter 319: Who Is The Super Monster?
Yu Huang stared at Kong Qing for a moment, then suddenly said, “Kong Qing, what do you do every day by yourself at Broken Cliff?”
Kong Qing carried the bag and walked towards another pile of bones. The pile of bones was very close to Yu Huang.
Kong Qing squatted on the ground and flipped through the bones. As he answered Yu Huang’s question, he said, “There’s nothing to do. When you’re hungry, eat. When you’re tired, eat. Sometimes, you’ll run to the cliff and wait for someone to fall.”
“I’ve met several people who still have a breath left when they fall from above. I’ll always chat with them. When they die, I’ll take what’s on them.”
Kong Qing suddenly put down the hoe in his hand and turned to Yu Huang, saying, “I once found a cell phone on a person, but it wasn’t as fun as yours. His cell phone only had a little game of hen laying eggs.”
Kong Qing supported his chin with his small hand. He looked above the poisonous gas barrier and said with anticipation, “I really hope that the next person to fall into Broken Cliff will also have a cell phone.”
He was truly an evil and naive little monster.
After thinking for a while, Yu Huang took out her phone and handed it to Kong Qing. “You can play with mine.”
Kong Qing took the phone in surprise and pressed the unlock button. When he found the phone lit up again, he immediately revealed a happy smile. Kong Qing asked Yu Huang, “Isn’t it broken? Why can it be used again?”
“It’s not broken. It was out of battery.”
“Battery?” Kong Qing asked curiously. “What’s battery?”
Yu Huang pursed her lips and suddenly said, “Do you want to see it?”
“Yes!”
“Come!” Yu Huang slashed open the poisonous gas barrier above her head and carried Kong Qing above the Broken Cliff. When they flew high enough, they could see the silhouette of the city in the distance.
Kong Qing had never been to such a high place before. He looked at the direction of the big city from afar and found the lights hanging down. He asked, “Is there a fire?”
“It’s not a fire. It’s lights,” Yu Huang said. “Electricity ignites light bulbs. Light bulbs emit light. The cell phone needs energy to operate. That kind of thing is battery.”
Kong Qing’s eyes widened. “I’ve never been to a big city,” he said. “The furthest I’ve ever been to is the town beyond the mountains. And I went there during the day. Electricity is amazing. I love electricity.”
“I’ll take you to the big city to play sometime.”
“Alright!”
The two of them flew back to the Broken Cliff. Kong Qing carried the bag and skipped along with Yu Huang towards the cave. As they walked, Kong Qing asked, “Have I grown taller recently?”
Yu Huang lowered her head and glanced at Kong Qing. He was still hidden in the thick mist of grievous energy and she could not see his head. Yu Huang said, “It’s probably your imagination.”
Kong Qing pouted to express his dissatisfaction.
When they returned to the cave, Kong Qing passed the lotus flower to Lin Jiansheng. Then, he took the sweet potato and sat on the stone bench to eat it obediently. Yu Huang was also a little hungry, so she was also eating a sweet potato.
There was no internet here. She could not even call Sheng Xiao.
After the meal, Yu Huang lay on the floor and fell asleep while thinking about Sheng Xiao’s situation. Lin Jiansheng sat by the fire and helped Su Tingxue absorb the spiritual power in the lotus.
Su Tingxue moaned in satisfaction after she was done.
When Lin Jiansheng heard it, his ears turned red.
After eating and drinking to her heart’s content, Su Tingxue also had the intention to speak. She said, “It has been more than 600 years. The Broken Cliff has grown many good things.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiansheng asked, “Senior Su came to the Broken Cliff before?”
“Yes.” Su Tingxue said, “During the era I lived in, the Broken Cliff was famous for being a place for dumping corpses and mass graves. Back then, life was tough and there were frequent wars. Whether it was the soldiers who died in battle or the civilians who died from the plague, their corpses would be thrown into the Broken Cliff.”
“The Broken Cliff is the place with the most grievous energy in the Holy Spirit Continent, but at the same time, it is also the place with the most concentrated spiritual energy,” Su Tingxue told Lin Jiansheng. “The spiritual energy that we, the Purifying Spirit Masters, use is actually spiritual energy.”
Lin Jiansheng nodded. He knew all these. “Senior Su, why did you come to the Broken Cliff? Was it also for purifying spirits?”
“I’m not that kind-hearted. There are hundreds of thousands of vengeful spirits here. I’m not that free.” Su Tingxue mocked Lin Jiansheng. “Do you think everyone is like you, who came here to enter seclusion to purify spirits?”
Lin Jiansheng did not retort after being scolded.
Su Tingxue was infuriated to see how silly he was. “You’re really boring. No wonder you don’t have a woman at your age.”
Lin Jiansheng was unconvinced. He explained in a low voice, “I have someone I like.”
“Hah, someone like you definitely won’t be able to woo the woman you like.” Su Tingxue lectured him earnestly. “Although most men who speak sweet nothings are not good men, women still prefer sweet nothings.”
Lin Jiansheng was silent for a moment before he said, “Senior Su, your words are too superficial. Weren’t you deceived by Xuan Ye’s flowery words when you were alive? That’s why you ended up like this. You’ve already died once, so why haven’t you learned your lesson?”
Su Tingxue was speechless.
She said sinisterly, “Are you looking to get killed?”
Lin Jiansheng was not afraid of Su Tingxue’s threat. He told Su Tingxue, “It doesn’t matter if someone is sweet-talking or taciturn, as long as that person has a pure heart.”
Su Tingxue remained silent.
Was she… sad?
Lin Jiansheng was starting to regret his words.
“You’re right. I really ought to learn a lesson.” Su Tingxue recalled the past and was very depressed. She lamented, “But we’re all ordinary people. How can we easily see through other people’s true colors?”
Lin Jiansheng said gloomily, “I’m fine. You’ve lived in my Spiritual Abode for so long. You should have seen through my character.”
“You’re not bad apart from being a little silly,” Su Tingxue said. “When I’m reborn, I’ll definitely find you a fairy. If she doesn’t obey, I’ll tie her to your bed!”
Lin Jiansheng smiled. “Okay.”
“However, why did you come to the Broken Cliff for Purifying Spirits?”
“To find something.”
“What is it?”
Su Tingxue told him, “Legend has it that when the grievous energy in the Broken Cliff reaches its peak, a super demonic creature will be born. This demonic creature can continuously be purified by absorbing the grievous energy. This demonic creature is also a kind of pure soul spirit body.”
After a pause, Su Tingxue told Lin Jiansheng a shocking secret. She said, “If you successfully purify this powerful demonic creature, you will be able to break through level 10 and become a Divine Purifying Spirit Master!”
Lin Jiansheng’s heart skipped a beat.
He subconsciously glanced at the little fellow who was eating sweet potatoes beside him. His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down a few times before he asked softly, “Then, did you find the super demonic creature?”
“No.” Su Tingxue said, “Maybe there are no super monsters here.”
She thought of something and added, “Back then, Xuan Ye came with me, but it’s been 600 years. Xuan Ye is still a Level 9 Purifying Spirit Master. I don’t think he has found the super monster yet.”
“If Xuan Ye finds a super monster and successfully purifies it, he should be able to break through to level 10.”
So, the reason why Xuan Ye’s cultivation remained at level nine was because he had yet to find the existence of a super demonic creature?
At this moment, Kong Qing finished his sweet potato.
Holding the sweet potato skin in his hands, he asked Lin Jiansheng, “Daddy, do you still have sweet potatoes? We eat sweet potatoes every day. Will there be no more sweet potatoes left after we finish them?”
Under Yu Huang’s instigation, Kong Qing got used to calling Lin Jiansheng ‘daddy’. In the beginning, Lin Jiansheng would still ask him to change his address, but Kong Qing was always disobedient. Over time, Lin Jiansheng stopped forcing him.
Kong Qing licked the sweet potato foam at the corner of his mouth and said, “Why don’t we eat potatoes starting tomorrow? If it’s not enough, I’ll go out and find demon beasts.”
Lin Jiansheng stared at Kong Qing’s bright little eyes. He placed his hand on Kong Qing’s head and asked gently, “Do you really want to eat syrup so much?”
“Yes!” Kong Qing nodded vigorously. “The syrup is too delicious!”
“Great. We’ll have potatoes tomorrow.”
Upon hearing the conversation between Lin Jiansheng and Kong Qing, Su Tingxue suddenly said, “This little fellow called Kong Qing was born in the Broken Cliff and can also purify. He’s actually very similar to a super demonic creature.”
Lin Jiansheng’s heart skipped a beat. He heard Su Tingxue continue, “However, super demonic creatures are existences that are harmful to everyone. They are natural destroyers. However, Kong Qing is like a blank piece of paper. There are no innocent and cute demonic creatures like him.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiansheng hurriedly said, “Yes, he’s just an ordinary little monster.”
