Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

The surging Spiritual Qi, rich to the extreme, came rushing at him, and the bottleneck that had been dormant on him for years loosened almost instantly.

The Mana within him fiercely circulated, and he could almost step into the Earth Tier Realm instantly.

Breakthrough at the moment of peril!

Could it be that I am truly the Child of Destiny, destined to become a generation’s Demon Emperor?

However, before the leader of the black-robed men could revel for a few seconds, Lu Wenwu punched him in the abdomen.

”Poof!”

The leader of the black-clad men spat a mouthful of fresh blood violently, his entire being waning instantaneously, as if all his Spirit, Essence, and Qi had been drained away.

His Dantian was shattered.

The Mana he had cultivated over the years was continuously dissipating, thrown into the East Sea.

He could not accept it, nor could he understand it.

The Dantian, clearly an organ existing between reality and illusion, completely impervious to such an ordinary punch, why would it be directly exploded by such an unremarkable punch?

The True Monarch of Destiny was quite disgruntled with the black-robed leader writhing and groaning on the ground, and voiced his discontent with Lu Wenwu’s actions, ”Why did you bring him over here for? I only need his soul.”

”Your divination method is too vague, I want some detailed information, which can be obtained through reasoning with him,” Lu Wenwu confidently said.

”You understand this?” The True Monarch of Destiny was taken aback.

Lu Wenwu shrugged: ”Of course, I’m best at convincing people with Virtue. The reasoning or physics, he has to follow one.”

About an hour later.

The True Monarch of Destiny finally obtained his divination materials.

A pile of bones and flesh mixed evenly but still alive, the black-robed leader.

Under Lu Wenwu’s physical persuasion, he had already spilled everything he knew from his mind.

There’s nothing new under the Sun, and it’s the same for cultivators.

It was basically a story about a foolish young man who couldn’t break through his cultivation, unexpectedly obtaining the Great Celestial Venerable Statue, and thus began to rapidly advance his cultivation by cultivating Demonic Evil Techniques.

Not only was it not fresh, but it was also quite clichéd.

According to him, he had originally obtained the Great Celestial Venerable Statue by accident while traveling through the Human World with his master.

Through step-by-step guidance and bestowal by the Great Celestial Venerable, he ultimately reached his current state.

Of course, in this process, the Great Celestial Venerable never referred to himself as such, but proclaimed himself as the Supreme God of Light.

After the divination, the True Monarch of Destiny brought his abruptly ended life to an end and used his own Immortal Fire to truly burn his thoroughly crushed body to ash.

”What do you say?”

Lu Wenwu, in the midst of eating an egg-filled flatbread, inquired.

”The situation is not optimistic.” The True Monarch of Destiny shook his head slightly, ”The Power of Destiny points to many places, I speculate it should be some ordinary people or cultivators who have obtained the Great Celestial Venerable Statue.”

”Why isn’t that optimistic? Can’t we just go and kill them all?” Lu Wenwu asked in confusion.

”No, it’s not that simple.” The True Monarch of Destiny furrowed his brow, ”Among them, there are three strands of destiny power pointing to the direction where the Upper Realm exists. I worry that this Great Celestial Venerable may truly be associated with the Western Divine Realm, and moreover...”

”Moreover what?”

”Moreover, one of the directions pointed by the Power of Destiny is... the Eastern Immortal Realm!”

Lu Wenwu was taken aback: ”An insider?”

”Very likely, so this matter is somewhat difficult to handle.” The True Monarch of Destiny nodded slightly, ”I need to set up a small altar with you here to report this matter to the Celestial Emperor as soon as possible.”

”Hold on, hold on, old man, wait a minute.” Lu Wenwu stopped his actions, pointing at the sealed large and small Divine Statues, ”Even if there is an insider, given the numbers, counting the Great Celestial Venerable himself, there are only three in the Upper Realm, what can they do?”

”If it’s indeed like this, then it would be manageable.” The True Monarch of Destiny sighed deeply, ”Now, I just worry that the so-called Great Celestial Venerable’s true identity may be the Divine King of the Western Divine Realm, or the God of Light colluding with the Divine King, only the Divine King would have the need to resort to Evil Techniques.”

”If he is already a Divine King, why would he still practice Evil Techniques?” Lu Wenwu was even more puzzled, ”Isn’t that unreasonable?”

The True Monarch of Destiny shook his head slightly, ”You haven’t reached that realm, you don’t understand. The Celestial Emperor and the Divine King, the reason why they are the rulers of the Upper Realms of the East and West, is precisely because their cultivation has reached a dead end.”

”They are blocked at the pinnacle of Ancient Immortal Gods’ realm, unable to progress. The feeling of knowing there’s a path ahead but unable to traverse it, do you understand? That feeling can drive people crazy, make them try every conceivable way.”

”I don’t understand, I’ve not encountered any bottlenecks in my cultivation up to now.” Lu Wenwu spoke frankly.

”You’re bluffing, if there are no bottlenecks, why haven’t you ascended yet? The last batch of Pathfinders from your era are probably all dead, but you, with an age similar to the Celestial Emperor and the Divine King, pretend to be young.” The True Monarch of Destiny sneered.

”I said I’m not a Pathfinder.” Lu Wenwu reiterated.

”Alright, alright, you’re not.” The True Monarch of Destiny didn’t intend to argue with him, ”Leave the Upper Realm to the Celestial Emperor and them, let’s discuss a problem we’re facing now.”

”Speak.” This time, Lu Wenwu did not interrupt.

The True Monarch of Destiny said: ”The results of the divination are very strange, the directions pointed by the Power of Destiny are all in the Mortal Realm, those Little Worlds of the great cultivator sects aren’t locked by the Power of Destiny.”

”This is very unusual, it doesn’t logically make sense. If it’s for the breakthrough of cultivation, why not go to the Cultivator Realm to hunt cultivators? Though the Mortal Realm does have some cultivators, most of them are beings with poor cultivation, what exactly is this Great Celestial Venerable planning?”

”You obtained this result yourself, according to the confession of the black-robed leader, the Great Celestial Venerable generally only instructed him to randomly collect some people and Low-tier Cultivators to bring back. This even in the Demon Cultivation wouldn’t be considered special.”

”Old man, I think you’re stuck in a blind alley.” Lu Wenwu said faintly, ”We’ve only attacked two bases so far, and the highest cultivation we’ve encountered is this guy, what major thing could he achieve? Isn’t killing just all they could do?”

”What do you want to say?” The True Monarch of Destiny furrowed his brow again.

Lu Wenwu said: ”I want to say, could there be a possibility that those influenced by the Great Celestial Venerable to switch to Demon Cultivation aren’t just Low-tier Cultivators, but possibly even High-tier Cultivators, or even Near-God Level existences. This level, in the Human World, is nearly invincible.”

”Impossible, absolutely impossible.” The True Monarch of Destiny immediately denied, ”Even Celestial Tier Powerhouses can’t stay long in the Human Realm, the Spiritual Qi here is too thin, staying here would not only not grow their cultivation but it would slowly dissipate.”

Lu Wenwu’s face was full of anger at his lack of competition: ”How can you be so rigid old man? They are Demon Cultivators, can’t they just stay regularly in the Human Realm, and when in need of cultivation, go to the Cultivation Realm to catch cultivators, then hide back to cultivate? As long as there are enough cultivation materials, Ancient Demon Cultivators don’t particularly care about Spiritual Qi concentration.”

”Can it really be done like that?” The True Monarch of Destiny was instantly shocked.

Lu Wenwu continued: ”If it’s just like that, it would be manageable. But now I worry, if your speculation is indeed true, then it gets really tricky.”

”If it involves the Divine King, it would mean that everything we’ve done so far is futile. The arrangements in the Lower Realm are useless to the Upper Realm, these Demon Cultivators might just be smoke bombs created by the Divine King to distract us and the Upper Realm, to deceive us.”

”If all of the Upper Realm’s focus is drawn to the Lower Realm, they can leisurely arrange something in the Upper Realm. If the other side completes it, then we’re doomed.”

”So you better remind your Celestial Emperor to be vigilant, conduct thorough investigations of the West, and concurrently guard your own territories, thoroughly inspect every corner of the Immortal Realm.”

”I’m on my way!” The True Monarch of Destiny was extremely serious, ”Never saw that coming, Violent Dragon, you as a Body Refining Cultivator, unexpectedly have the demeanor of a great general.”

”Thanks for the compliment.” Lu Wenwu chuckled, ”Hurry on and get busy.”

There’s no great general demeanor about him.

It’s purely from reading too many online novels in his past life, with many following this style.

True or false, false or true, these things are all evolved from plenty of conflict.

The True Monarch of Destiny follows the standard genius Dao cultivation path.

Smooth sailing throughout, without experiencing much intrigue and deception, he successfully ascended.

Most of his life was spent in closed cultivation, comprehending the Dao, his experience in conflicts with people remains too little.

Furthermore, there’s one thing Lu Wenwu hasn’t told the True Monarch of Destiny.

He hopes... the Celestial Emperor isn’t that insider.

If the Divine King and Celestial Emperor join forces to attempt something, then he might have to incite a Ragnarok.
