Villain Cultivator

Chapter 437 '“ Winter Chaos '“ Part 6

Miaomiao laughed as he gazed at the burnt victims. This was the first time that he had used Holy Flame of Life to kill cultivators in real life.

He had tested the power and the applications of this element before in the Isolation Training Space, and he was shocked by its overwhelming power. Not only it could heal, resurrect, or purify his allies, he could instantly delete any cultivator below 8th-stage with its destructive power.

It might be called the Flame of Life, but it could also reverse-engineer lifeforms!

Now that he had used it on real people, Miaomiao was now afraid of his power.

No wonder that Xie Tian's final form had this ability as his default skill. It was just that OP.

Miaomiao heaved a sigh of relief as he turned to the dead people's remaining ashes, which had been scattered by the wind.

"Yare, Yare. These fools aren't afraid of immortals or Uriel at all."

Miaomiao looked back and smiled at Huang Hansheng, who was a kilometer away.

"Say, Senior Uriel. These people didn't keep their promises. Would you do something about them? Or do I have to clean up the mess myself?"

Ding

<The action of Huang Hansheng and the Liu Clan annoys Uriel.>

<Many porn-loving immortals disapprove of the Liu Clan and Huang Hansheng's. They also want him dead.>

<A bounty has been placed on Huang Hansheng's head.>

'¦

Bounty: Huang Hansheng

Kill Reward: One 3rd-stage soul stone, an immortal grade herb seed.

'¦

Miaomiao frowned as he was taken aback by these immortals. He thought that they would help him or come down to kill Huang Hansheng. Instead, he wanted Miaomiao to take the matter with his own hands.

'Are you guys leaving this to me?'

<The Devil explains, "Descending to a mortal world costs money and our quotas. Average immortals may visit a mortal world once every 10 years. Only high ranking immortals or dao gods can visit THEIR mortal worlds as many times as they want.">

<"Heavenly Goose Planet belongs to the Geese Constellation, and the Swan Goddess is the owner of that planet. Unless we get her permission or pay the heavy toll tax, we can't enter that world.">

'What about Uriel and Fang Yanxu? Didn't they come down before?'

<"You don't wanna know how many soul stones they paid to get there.">

"'¦"

A new name came up during the conversation, including the information about a constellation.

Miaomiao had already learned about Constellations as Xu Chu had lectured him when they were alone.

After ones became immortal, they usually had an incomplete mortal world inside their soul dantian. From that point, immortals would cultivate their world inside their soul dantian and increase their Soul Qi, which could only be obtained after a cultivator reached 8th-stage or higher.

At the lowest immortal rank, a cultivator started with an incomplete mortal world. But after they got stronger, they would have multiple completed planets inside them.

Before they could become a dao god, their physique would be evolved into Constellation Physique. They would create as many lifeforms inside them as they were preparing to become an entity, a Real God.

And then, when they ascended to the realm of godhood, their worlds, planets, and Constellation in their bodies would manifest in reality, gaining the Providence Blessing of their Dao while the ascending gods would obtain their faith to increase their Providence Power.

However, many unique cultivation techniques existed, such as the War God Physique of Lu Fengxian, Dragon Physique of the Dragon Race, or Demonic Physique of various demon clans, which could be used as a replacement of the Constellation Physique.

This cultivation universe was profound and mysterious. There were still many criteria to grade planets, Constellation, and realms, but Miaomiao put the matter to the back of his head for now.

He only needed to remember that this world was created by the mysterious Swan Goddess that the Devil had mentioned.

And he had to survive!

'Oh, well. I hope she's friendly. Before I forget, I need to deal with that idiot.'

Miaomiao circulated his Life Essence and vanished, activating the stealth skill.

Five seconds later, Huang Hansheng arrived at the place where Miaomiao had stayed earlier. The elder activated his soul domain, searching for Miaomiao.

"THERE!"

He found Miaomiao 10 kilometers away to the north, at the border of the World Tree Forest.

Huang Hansheng was inwardly shocked by Miaomiao's speed. Within five breaths, the hateful nemesis of his already fled five kilometers!

As Huang Hansheng was about to use a bow technique, Dian Wei already caught up to him.

She cackled and shot several spiderweb nets at the archer. They caught his hands and legs, hindering his movements.

"TSK!"

Huang Hansheng specialized in long-ranged combat while Dian Wei was used to fighting in a short range. As such the difference in foundations, tactics, and experience began to show.

By being pressed and chased repeatedly, Huang Hansheng regretted trying to kill Miaomiao with a short sword.

'I should have shot him when I had a chance!'

It was too late to regret now as Dian Wei's eight eyes locked on to him, following his movements. Her eight spider legs moved around as if they were climbing on invisible webs, pursuing Huang Hansheng without letting him have a chance to catch his breath.

Finally, Huang Hansheng lost it.

"I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU, MONSTER!!"

Huang Hansheng decided to switch his target. He turned to Dian Wei, planning to finish her off.

As long as he could kill Dian Wei, Siren City would be easily destroyed!

But Dian Wei suddenly sneered. She activated a soul domain skill, which she had used on Zhu Qiao and Miaomiao when they first met.

Realistic Dream!

The soul attack stunned Huang Hansheng for a moment. Although Huang Hansheng resisted the power, it was enough to create an opening.

Dian Wei's battle axe hacked down, aiming at the archer's head. Her Soul Essence merged with the weapon, which could potentially permanently damage Huang Hansheng's soul!

"NO!!"

Huang Hansheng panicked. He blocked the strike with his great bow.

The archer's primary weapon was a heaven-grade weapon with a soul of a vengeful monster. However, it wasn't enough to withstand the soul essence strike from the elite arachne.

The bow was broken in half, and Dian Wei's axe grazed Huang Hansheng's face. The cut left a line mark on the elder, and he lost an eye.

Flustered, Huang Hansheng took out a life-saving talisman and tore it. His body vanished, teleported to his home base in the southern region.

Dian Wei paused and stared at the disappearing elder. She pouted and was dejected, "Aw, my fast-food is gone."

'¦

After Huang Hansheng and Huang Zu's men had been dealt with, peace returned to Siren City.

Local beastmen, merchants, and commoners celebrated Miaomiao's victory over the 9th-stage cultivator and their evil goons. None of them cared about the unfortunate imps, who were used and discarded by the Huang Clan.

Only Xiao Fei, the remaining disciple of Zhao Bao, gathered their corpses and buried them. He even prayed for them, hoping that they wouldn't be reincarnated as a slave anymore.

Kang Yan, who had noticed the weeping child, tried to soothe the boy. She gave him a plum flower, which had been produced by her wood and earth element Qi. Then, she placed several flowers on the tombs.

Xiao Fei continued crying. He cried for so long that Zhao Bao and other monks had to come to pick him up so that they could calm him.

Before Xiao Fei left, he gazed at the plum flowers. Then, he looked toward Dian Wei's direction.

He envied Dian Wei, who possessed such power. He wanted to be strong like her, so he could protect his friends, his family, and the other imps that had been enslaved.

"Thank you, elder sister."

"No problem," Kang Yan smiled at him.

"What are these flowers?"

"They are plum blossom."

"Plum Blossom'¦"

Xiao Fei stopped talking. He picked a flower with him and followed Zhao Bao to the monastery. Then, he was transferred to join other monks to cultivate his heart before a symptom of PTSD or a trauma could appear.

...

Inside a small temple, where Xiao Fei had been assigned, Xiao Fei was left alone with a senior monk.

The monks in charge of guiding Xiao Fei was an old man in his 90s. He was a weak 3rd-stage cultivator, but he didn't care about the worldly affair, his age, or his remaining lifespan.

The elder patted Xiao Fei's head and sat next to him.

"Life comes and goes. If there's a meeting, there's a departure. They are freed from the cruel fate, Xiao Fei."

"'¦ Thank you, Senior Li."

Coincidentally, the monk had Li surname, which was translated as PLUM.

As Xiao Fei stopped crying, he stared at the plum blossom. Then, he was inspired.Â

He wanted to get stronger, strong enough to protect his friends, family, and elders that cared for him.

Xiao Fei envied everyone, especially Xiao Yun, who had been currently recognized as Zhao Yun.

He didn't want to be called "Xiao", which could be translated as "Little". He wanted a real surname, a root that he could be proud of.

Xiao Fei gazed at Elder Li, but he didn't dare to ask if he could have a surname.

As if the old man could read Xiao Fei's mind, he warmly smiled at the child, "You know, I never have a wife or a child, and my lifespan is running short. I was thinking if I should adopt you."

"!!!"

Xiao Fei was surprised and was stiffened.

The old man patted Xiao Fei's head again, "How about it? Since you're all alone for a long time, do you want to become my son?"

"R-Really!?"

"Haha! I see that you like the plum flower so much. I think this might be fate that we meet and get to know each other for a long time. Though it's a pity that Elder Zhao was too busy to take care of you, I'm confident that I can be around for another decade and teach you many things in his stead."

Elder Li's face turned solemn. He asked Xiao Fei again, "Will you be my son?"

Xiao Fei cried again. He knelt and kowtowed to his elder, "X-X-Xiao Fei g-greets'¦ fa'¦ father!"

Elder Li nodded in satisfaction. He helped Xiao Fei up, "From now on, you will have a surname. We can stop calling you Xiao Fei now."

"S-So, can I call myself Li Fei?"

"That's good, too. Haha, Li Fei, come here. I'll tell everyone about us, so we can have an adoption ceremony."

Xiao Fei was delighted. He jumped in joy for a moment before he recalled something.

He wanted to change something else. He didn't like the name "Fei".

He wanted to be strong like Dian Wei!

"Umm, f-father, could I ask you for a favor?"

"What is it?"

"Can I change my name, too?"

"Oh? You don't like to be called Li Fei? Hmm, what should I name you'¦"

Xiao Fei took several deep breaths to muster his courage. Yet, he fidgeted as he thought that it might offend his foster father.

"C-Could I-I be called as'¦ Li Dian?"

"Li Dian?"

"Y-Yes! I want to be strong like Senior Dian Wei! I want to keep reminding myself whenever someone calls me with this name so that I won't lose my way!"

"Hohoh?"

Elder Li felt like the name had a hidden meaning to it, or it would change his fate in the future. He happily agreed and brought "Li Dian" to Zhao Bao and other monks, reporting the adoption procedure.

After chasing Huang Hansheng away, Miaomiao and the executive officers gathered for a meeting in the Yin Slave Mansion Lobby.

The issue about a supreme expert targeting them caused some concern about the five-year agreements. They no longer had faith that their enemies would keep their promises anymore.

Jia Wenhe stood up and suggested, "Let's push the fight to them. Since they asked for it, let them taste the horror of being invaded!"

Ju Shoufen agreed, "I concur. We've been minding our businesses, but they never left us alone. If they want to fight, let's give them one!"

The other elders also agreed. They stood up and voiced their thoughts, wanting to counterattack against Liu Biao and Huang Hansheng's forces.

Even Wei Yuan wanted a piece of them!

With such a unanimous decision, Miaomiao took a deep breath. He heavily exhaled and gave his order.

"After we finish with the sect entrance exams, we shall gather our forces and strike back. Our first target is Xiangyang, the home of Liu Biao!!"
