I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1467 20.31 First Black Star - Cultivators

The Heaven Sword Sect started focusing on the South Region. They truly thought they had found a trace of divinity they had always been chasing and focused more of their people to the south than to the borders where Gu Roulan and Shi Mengli are. However, there are also changes happening in the south region that they werenʼt informed of.

It was done secretly by the vice commander under the great general, and with the resources and cultivation techniques he got from the chief warden, the mortal soldier under the command of the great general had also ventured to the path of cultivation.

To fulfill the wish of the original vessel he is currently using, the Chief Warden provided the people of the great general with the fastest way to get stronger. Even the cultivation technique that was passed to them was tailored for their use.

In short, if other people tried to use it, it would be useless to them and would not even be remembered no matter how much they tried to recall the content of this technique. This would prevent the technique from spreading outside of the people under the great general.

In the South Region, there is a Fortress South Mansion.

All of the soldiers under the command of General Lou had gathered in the open area, seated in lotus form, and were currently meditating. They are currently training their breathing exercise to increase the qi their body can circulate. Three months ago, under the command of the great general, the vice-commander had gathered all of them and taught the cultivation.

This is a cultivation that was far beyond what those men who lived on the floating island could practice.

The vice-commander explained the situation and the fact that the great generalʼs vessel houses a divinity in him. They were dumbfounded at first, and the chief warden had to fly in front of them before they could believe all the information the vice commander had told them. For three months, these soldiers had been madly cultivating, and the weakest among them was at the 3rd level of Qi refinement.

One can attempt ascension to the upper realm when one reaches the Void Refining Stage; at this level, the cultivator has shed immortality completely and can move through space and time.

Nascent Soul or Yuanying Cultivators as well as God Transformation Cultivators can also go through space, but the heavenly path to the upper realm wouldnʼt be open for them and unless a God or a Highgod brought them over, there is no possibility of finding the way to Vearth on their own.

The vice commander was even more talented among them and reached Peak Qi Refinement under the training of the chief warden, and three months is far too short; if not because this world is an S-class world in which the world qi is rich and his physique is special, it wouldnʼt be even possible to reach third in just three months.

It is mostly thanks to the pills Yun Ming had placed in the chief wardenʼs inventory. Most of the pills were so high-quality that Gods would covet them.

While the soldiers were training, those who were on patrol suddenly arrived to report something urgent to the vice commander.

”Vice-commander, another group of cultivators had come to our territory. This time they are being led by someone that looks like an elder of a sect!” reported the soldier.

Upon hearing this report, the vice commander had a bad prediction. The first two cultivators were killed by them under the orders of the great general. It must be because there arenʼt any connections between the sect and the dead pair that the sect sent someone with more authority.

The vice commander said with a frown, ”This must be reported to the general. Continue to observe them from a distance and donʼt approach them too easily. I will personally report this to the general. The rest of you continue to train and wait for further notice.”

”Yes, vice commander!” the soldiers collectively said as they watched the vice commander leave and leave the training to a captain and continue watching over their training.

Inside the fortress is the main office of the general.

The vice commander, upon reaching the office of his superior, checked through his clothing before knocking on the door. Ever since he learned that the soul inside the great general had been replaced, he had already made guesses of his own. This person is most likely one of the divinities that descended on their world that day. The phenomenon of the golden sky was a famous one.

Also, the rumors that divinity had descended in the mortal land caught more attention. After all, this is a God, not just any other being.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

The voice from the inside of the room said, ”You can go in.”

”Please excuse me, General,” said the vice commander as he entered the room. The usual scene of the great general working on a scroll welcomed him as he went inside the office.

General Lou asked, ”Youʼre here again. Does something matter?”

”Reporting to the general. A new group of cultivators had entered the territory, and this time there is an elder figure within the group. This subordinate feels that they might be looking for that missing pair,” said the vice commander.

The great general remained calm and even looked disinterested, but still responded.

”Iʼve cleared the traces. They would have to investigate the territory all over again before they head to this place. You can focus on training. Get stronger so when the time comes they go attack, you have the strength to protect yourselves and those you care for. There is no need to worry about me. Even if they found me, there is nothing they can do to me.”

He threw in a few old books that had titles that involved talisman technique, formation technique, and even pill refinement. These were basic techniques he got from his loverʼs stash. It was considered old books, which his lover wouldnʼt mind missing. Giving this way was just another option to increase the strength of these soldiers.

Once this troop is able to defend and defeat cultivators on their own, the wishes of the original owner of the vessel will be considered complete, and he will not need to continue resuming the identity of his vessel.

The great general said, ”Learn this when you have time. Focus on formations; to fight against beings that fly using artifacts, formation techniques are enough to bring them down.”

”Thank you, General. We will learn everything as you wish,” said the vice commander.

General Lou nods his head and waves a hand as a gesture that he can leave. ”Resume your duties.”

Meanwhile at the public street market in the south region.

Some inner and core disciples were led by a young elder. They were looking at the mortal land and scenery with disdain. They obviously bear contempt towards the mortals surrounding them. The mortals in the area also stare at them with a disgusted look.

After all, the last time a pair of cultivators arrived in this region, they killed some mortals for fun. At that time, the general wasnʼt around, and there was no one for these mortals to ask for help. But this time, itʼs different. The general is back, and so are the soldiers under him. The fact that there are some soldiers patrolling the area is enough proof.

The cultivators heard the mortals talking to themselves. Even though they were just whispering at one another, these cultivators with keen sense had still heard their words.

”Why are these cultivators here again!?”

”The last two pairs from before had caused too much death while the great general isnʼt around and the vice commander cannot rein them in.”

”No worries. The great general is back. These cultivators shouldnʼt cause much trouble, arenʼt they?”

”Maybe it is better if a message to the Imperial Palace is sent. How could our human emperor watch as these damn cultivators bully us!”

”If they disdain the mortal lands, they shouldnʼt have descended at all.”

”Hmp! Just because they are practicing cultivation, do they think they are gods themselves?”

Some of the cultivators who overheard the conversation of these mortals were enraged. Just before they started killing these people, the elders had stopped them.

”These damn mortals! I will kill...”

”Enough! Shut your mouth!” shouted the elders.

”But elder, these ants dare.”

The elder turned around and looked at the disciples who dared to complain. The warning and threat in his eyes had shut off these disciples.

”Focus on your mission. If one of them truly reported to the human emperor, we would not be able to continue staying in the south region, and that means that our mission would be considered a failure. Just ignore them and begin the investigation.”

”Yes, elder!” responded the disciples who came with him; they had spread out looking for traces of the two disciples that came to them and the traces of the divinity that might be hiding in this area.

Once the inner and core disciples that came with him had dispersed, the elder looked at the fortress not far from them and tried to see through the aura of the great general that rules this place. The strength of the great general can be said to be only second to the human emperor.

Though he isnʼt as overwhelmingly powerful as the human emperor, the strength of the great general is enough to fight against the cultivators. He is the type of human born with unparalleled strength and is capable of killing cultivators if he wants to. He is also the crazy type who would fight to death when poked unconditionally.

Thatʼs why most elders from the sect avoid confronting that madman, who is even harder to kill than a cockroach.

”It is better not to poke at the sleeping lion,” mumbles the elder cultivator.

The elder entered an expensive-looking restaurant as he waited for the result of the investigation of their mission targets. He didnʼt need to make a move himself, as he was only here to observe the area with his own eyes, just in case these disciples of theirs were to miss something.

Moreover, he is just here to play the role of a guard if there is anything that can threaten their group of cultivators, like, for example, another group of cultivators from another sect or the evil cultivators who work for fun and desire alone.
