Chapter 243 I Have a Life-Preserving Treasure?

“Junior Brother Meng, why don’t you do the honors? You are faster,” said King Luyue with a smile.

Meng Chuan nodded. “Okay.”

Meng Chuan’s Darkstar domain enveloped the four of them, and with a whoosh, they transformed into a bolt of lightning and headed straight for Luo Tang Pass.

King Luyue and Blackrock were somewhat alarmed. To fly at such insane speeds while carrying the three of them was truly unbelievable.

“You are still much faster than me despite carrying the three of us,” said King Luyue wistfully. “It’s no wonder that Lightning Devastator Fiend Body Marquis Godfiends are at the top of the world in regards to speed. In this day and age, only when one is fast can they protect a larger territory. It’d be good if we humans had more powerful Godfiends that cultivate the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body. Unfortunately, it’s too difficult to cultivate.”

“It’s difficult.” Meng Chuan nodded.

The 12 transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies could be separated into three different cultivation difficulty levels. The Phoenix Divine Body and the Dragon Divine Body were in a different category altogether because one required the prerequisite bloodline just to begin cultivating them.

Next, the five more difficult transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies: Samsara Divine Body, Great Strength Fiend Body, Archean Divine Body, Lightning Devastator Fiend Body, and Thirteen Swordbane Fiend Body. Very few Godfiends mastered these Godfiend bodies. Among the Marquis Godfiends and Regis Godfiends in the world, there weren’t more than a handful of them. For example, Meng Chuan was currently the only Lightning Devastator Fiend Body Marquis Godfiend in the world.

The last five transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies are the easiest to cultivate out of the 12 transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies. Xue Feng, Yan Jin, Xiao Yunyue, Yan Chitong, and others, cultivated one of these lower-difficulty transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies.

“Luo Tang Pass.” Meng Chuan and company saw Luo Tang Pass from afar. It was an extremely bustling and beautiful city. In recent years, since the demons had invaded the human world en masse, many people had moved to Luo Tang Pass. Many towns had appeared around Luo Tang Pass.

“Luo Tang Pass’s population has exceeded 20 million.” King Luyue looked down and sighed. “Over the past few years, too many people have rushed here.”

“The population of Jiang State Capital, Wu State Capital, and many other state capitals have increased greatly over the past few years,” said Meng Chuan. “The populations of Jiang State Capital and Wu State Capital are now more than ten million. However, it isn’t easy to provide for ten million people daily. The most lacking resource is food! We need more people to produce food.”

“Yes, food.” King Luyue nodded. “I heard that several of our Archean Mountain’s grotto-heaven worlds are currently planting food. Unfortunately, the grotto-heaven worlds are rather small. The foundation of those worlds is limited. The amount of food that can be grown in our grotto-heaven worlds is far inferior to what the outside world can produce. There is plenty of land here, but with the demons wreaking havoc...”

Meng Chuan nodded. Luo Tang Pass, some state capitals, and prefectures had a large increase in population, causing them to become more and more prosperous. However, this prosperity came with massive costs. The total human population was actually declining, and the living environment in other places was much worse.

“City Lord Manor.” King Luyue pointed at the most conspicuous building complex. “Supremacy Luo Tang is there. I’ll bring you there.”

Whoosh.

The group of four flew to City Lord Manor and landed in a pavilion.

“The demon monarch and I will stay here for now.” King Luyue smiled as he pointed at the limestone road ahead. “Follow this path and enter the garden in front. You will see the two Supremacies. The two Supremacies want to meet you first.”

“Senior Brother Gu, we will head over first.” Meng Chuan led his wife, Liu Qiyue, over to the garden. They walked across the limestone road and entered the garden.

In the garden, they could see an illusory Supremacy Qin Wu sitting opposite Supremacy Luo Tang as they played chess.

“Come, it’s your turn.” Supremacy Luo Tang became more confident after she made a move.

The illusory Qin Wu frowned as he pondered his next move. Every time he appeared, Luo Tang forced him to play chess. It always left him with a headache.

“Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue are here.” Qin Wu immediately put down his chess piece and smiled at the couple. “Luo Tang, let’s get down to business first.”

Luo Tang could only turn to look at Meng Chuan and his wife.

“Greetings, Master, Supremacy.” Meng Chuan bowed respectfully.

“Greetings, Master, Aunt-Master.” Liu Qiyue was equally respectful.

“Tell me what happened,” said Qin Wu with a smile. “From the looks of it, both of you have changed drastically.”

Meng Chuan and his wife exchanged looks before Meng Chuan took the initiative to say, “Qiyue and I received a request for help from Eastcalm Prefecture’s Zhenyou County. Therefore, we immediately rushed over. To our surprise, a fourth Firmament demon monarch as strong as a peak Marquis Godfiend was hiding there. It used its domain to trap us. It wanted to kill us, so Qiyue was forced to cast Phoenix’s Nirvana...”

The entire ordeal was explained in detail.

“I chased after the greater demon monarch and waited for Senior Brother Gu to arrive,” said Meng Chuan.

“You broke through during such a dire situation?” Qin Wu and Luo Tang exchanged looks as they felt a lingering fear.

Such actions were really risky. Archean Mountain had placed many hopes on Meng Chuan.

“There was nothing else I could do. I wanted to save Qiyue,” said Meng Chuan. Although Liu Qiyue felt that her husband had taken a huge risk, she still felt delighted.

“Thankfully, you have a third-level Essence Soul. It’s much stronger than a first-level Essence Soul that’s needed to become a Marquis Godfiend.” Qin Wu shook his head. “Don’t take such risks in the future. Your life isn’t just yours. It affects many others as well.”

Meng Chuan said, “I understand. By the way, I used the Soul-Vanquishing Spike to deal with the greater demon monarch. It knows about my third-level Essence Soul.”

“Remember to keep your third-level Essence Soul a secret.” Qin Wu looked at Liu Qiyue. “Liu Qiyue, if this secret is leaked, it will bring great trouble to your husband.” “I’ll definitely keep it a secret.” Liu Qiyue nodded.

“Although you have experienced some danger, it’s a joyous occasion for us humans to see the both of you become Marquis Godfiends,” said Qin Wu with a smile.

“Both of us become Marquis Godfiends?” Meng Chuan was taken aback.

Luo Tang laughed. “You might not be aware of it, but your wife has already condensed an Essence Soul.”

Meng Chuan looked at Liu Qiyue.

“Yes.” Liu Qiyue smiled and nodded. “When I maintained Phoenix’s Nirvana, my soul kept strengthening. Now, I have condensed an Essence Soul.”

Since Liu Qiyue had an Essence Soul and had reached the Realm of Dao, she only needed to enter seclusion and break through to the Darkstar realm.

“The reason why she was able to condense an Essence Soul so quickly was because she cast Phoenix’s Nirvana for a long time,” said Luo Tang. “She lost 18 years of her lifespan. Typically, one wouldn’t need to cast Phoenix’s Nirvana for so long. After her strength increases greatly, she should immediately stop casting Phoenix’s Nirvana after shooting a handful of arrows at her enemies. Typically, she would only lose one year of her lifespan.”

“She lost 18 years of her lifespan?” Meng Chuan looked at Liu Qiyue.

Liu Qiyue was one year younger than himshe was only 37 years old. However, she had lost 18 years of her lifespan after casting Phoenix’s Nirvana?

Liu Qiyue smiled. “Marquis Godfiends have a 300-year lifespan.”

“Two Marquis Godfiends are much more useful. Archean Mountain’s arrangements for the two of you will also change,” said Qin Wu with a smile. “Return to Gu Mountain Prefecture City and wait. Your new arrangements will be decided soon.”

“Yes.” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue nodded. They were proud that they could be of greater use.

“Meng Chuan, give me your identity token,” said Luo Tang suddenly.

Meng Chuan was slightly puzzled. He took out his identity token and placed it on the chessboard.Every Archean Mountain disciple had an identity token. They could use it to request for help, and it also allowed Archean Mountain to keep track of whether they were alive or not.

Whoosh.

Luo Tang flipped her hand and took out an illusory golden sword from Meng Chuan’s identity token.

“This is?” Meng Chuan was astonished. He had never realized that an illusory golden sword had been hidden in his identity token. Just looking at the illusory golden sword made Meng Chuan feel suppressed and horrified.

It held a terrifying might.

“Your master thinks highly of you.” Luo Tang shot a glance at the illusory Qin Wu. “Before you left the mountain, he gave you this treasure to protect you from any accidents that befell on you.”

Meng Chuan understood that he actually had a treasure that could save his life. Before this, he had no idea of its existence at all.

“If you had known about this treasure, how would you hone your strength?” asked Qin Wu with a smile. “To be honest, I hoped that you would never need to use it. However, now that you’ve become a Marquis Godfiend, this treasure won’t be of much use to you. Your strength and life-preservation means should be enough to guarantee your safety now. This treasure can only kill ordinary fifth Firmament demon monarchs.”
