Chapter 215: Enter the Azure Mountain Sect and Cuckold or Be Cuckolded by Others

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Another much smaller cloud moved, and then Elder Gui Er appeared, looking as though he wanted to say something. He was stopped with a wave from the Bodhisattva, a gesture for him not to speak.

“Too fortunate, Great Green Dragon, at least you had an S-level master – me – around this time. That guy knew shielding will be useless and so yielded. I, Daqing, am the best! Hahaha…” Chong Daqing jumped out from a big cloud, its front limbs akimbo as it laughed.

Everyone was speechless at this, but no one argued with it and for a moment, the situation was awkward.

Fang Ning, hearing this, rolled his eyes in the System Space. ‘You are such a glory-seeker…’

Actually, it had been Sir System’s secret use of his true powers that had made this Bodhi Formation seem indestructible. For Chen Tianxiao, a mere Pond-level master who was also self-preserving, yielding without a fight was his best choice. He must not have expected that this spell formation was not his prison. He did not have the luck of Sun Wukong.

Of course, he would never let Sir System spoil this insect’s facade. It may be bad in fighting, but in a formation, it was still reliable as a Pond-level Peak master. With only Sir System, even if it had multiple-process capability, it would be impossible to perform this Bodhi Flower Formation.

He took back control of his body and later told it, “Yes, your contribution in this demon hunting is not insignificant. I will treat you to a meal again soon. Just ask your special chef to serve you himself.”

Chong Daqing smiled widely, its many limbs waving around in delight. “Okay. Next time something like this comes up, remember to tell me, O Great Green Dragon. Now, when are we going to eat…?”

Everyone was speechless once again.

After a moment, the Bodhisattva Spirit King gave him an old scroll with a pattern of the Bodhi flower. “At least we had The Venerable One’s early warning and use of this arcane realm to set up a trap. It was because of that that we managed to catch this criminal and remove another threat to our Association. We are very grateful, and this Bodhi Flower Formation is gifted to you, as to help ward this arcane realm.”

Fang Ning felt satisfied at this. This Bodhisattva was really generous. This spell formation must have been very precious since it was passed on from the Buddha himself. That has already shown how high its position was.

System Notification: [The System has learned the Bodhi Flower Formation. Currently at initial stage. Effect: At its highest, it can imprison opponents with strength levels one higher than the person conducting the spell. Current requirement to activate current-level of formation: 2 allies with strength levels no lower than the caster of the spell, 10 with strength levels no lower than one rung below the caster’s and 100 with strength levels no lower than two rungs below.]

It was actually a spell with an improving characteristic. Fang Ning was amazed and elated.

After seeing this, he asked the System, “When Chong Daqing’s power has fully restored, it will be enough for one Lake-level. If we find another, it will be even better, and we can imprison Powerhouses with strength levels higher than Lake-level. What level is that?”

The System replied, “That would be Inner Sea-level. This spell is strong, but needs many people. You should prepare in advance for this.”

Fang Ning said grandly, “Don’t worry. Let’s just go to the Truth Department. They still would have hidden cards. They now rely on us to produce high-quality cultivation products. If we need them, they will definitely agree.”

…

“Gu Buwei’s grandpa has been cuckolded, his father has been cuckolded, and he will also be cuckolded! Enter the Azure Mountain sect, and cuckold or be cuckolded by others…”

Ma Ping was gleefully posting on the Forum of Monsters. He did not even turn his head, only staring at the screen while talking to Shen Xingchen.

“Junior, you are so good at thinking. Just like that. Dad had said that no bad things should be caused by words, so I am going to post using my Shadow ID. This Azure Mountain is too tyrannical. That Gu Buwei unnerved Father so much at the Treasure Trading Convention that he did not dare to speak up for the Venerable Dragon God. That made us feel slighted. Slandering them feels so good…”

Ma Ping was an 18-year-old after all, and under the protection of his father, had no sense of discontent. He still had that young mentality of doing things without thinking through it or considering the consequences.

At the Treasure Trading Convention, he had heard his father sigh, and seeing the Venerable Dragon God, who had killed the Insect Demon and saved his life ignored by the others had made him feel angry.

He was not stupid however, and knew that the Mount Indigo Monastery was like the land of fairies to outsiders, but to the people of Azure Mountain, it was no more than a locust. His father had noticed his discontent and even reminded him on purpose. That was the reason he could push it down and play games to distract himself.

Now that he was reminded by his junior, he knew of a way to express his discontent.

‘Troll them. Let’s see if they dare show off again. Who dares enter Azure Mountain, I will remove their fuel for ambition and completely dig out their mortal roots…’

Of course, Ma Ping knew it was just a form of expression, so it would not influence the overall situation. Humans need clear, quick thinking, however, especially cultivators like him.

After posting, Ma Ping watched exultantly as a long chain of replies appeared rapidly.

“Damn, the great god King of the Universe has posted once again.”

“What is this Azure Mountain like? The Great God must hate this Azure Mountain.”

“They must be the Cuckold sect. Everyone steals wives according to their combat level, and whose are higher can take another person’s wife…”

“F**k, that’s vicious. No wonder The Great God hates them so much. We must show the true colors of their ancestors. Better not let others jump into the fire pit…”

“How scary. I guess after joining, everyone has to pretend to be single since no one can decide when you will be overtaken.”

Ma Ping’s shadow IDs on this forum all were very high-level. His father hunted and slayed monsters daily, and his experience and knowledge was more than most. Just a post or sale of those monsters were enough to increase his level.

He had used the shadow ID King of the Universe, and that naturally attracted many onlookers.

Looking at the various theories of the amazing replies, Ma Ping laughed till his body rocked to and fro. His thoughts were clear and quick now, and his anger was all gone…

He had the feeling that some of his cultivation had signs of already going through a breakthrough.

“Eh, junior, why aren’t you talking?” After laughing for quite a while, Ma Ping felt puzzled. It seemed to have become quiet all of a sudden.

Was he hearing two more breathing sounds? One sounded angry, the other so soft that had it not been quiet, he would not have heard it. A terrible thought went through his mind, but he did not dare turn.

‘Bastard son,’ thought Old Master Ma. Behind him he had looked on to the point his tears were absent. ‘Son, you brought this upon yourself. Your taking advantage of me is already in the past, but how am I going to save you now?’

Shen Xingchen’s eyes flashed with glee, then he feigned tension.

Gu Buwei was standing behind Ma Ping.

He was watching the screen, but his expression had not changed as though he was not angered.

Ma Ping did not dare move. No one controlled the mouse, yet it was moving on its own and the screen scrolled up and down accordingly.

“Not bad, even using poetical styles. Those replying are even better. While not all are accurate, some are close enough. Well, there are experts everywhere…” Gu Buwei may have finished with the posts. The cursor had stopped moving before he spoke.

Ma Ping did not dare turn around. He hunched his shoulders, thinking, ‘I am dead. I overdid it, and no one can save me…’

Master Ma, just thinking of saving his son, could not deduce if Gu Buwei was angered.

However, when he tried to raise his right hand to slap his son, he could not even strike.

This Gu Buwei was frightening like before! He could not even move his hand before him.

He was an A-level master, but by the standards of the Dragon Clan, he was only on Pond-level. He could not do anything while meeting another real master.

The Lake-level and Pond-level had such a big difference!

He felt as though he was dying. He could already see his son turning into ashes.

Then, a response as sweet as an angel’s melody came.

“Please… please douse your anger, Sir. It’s all because of me, and if you want punish anyone, punish me, Xincheng instead! I am willing to sell myself to Azure Mountain and serve you all, if you would just spare the life of my senior…”Shen Xingcheng said suddenly, falling to his knees.

Gu Buwei turned and glanced at the kneeling Shen Xingcheng before nodding. “You are pretty honest, and have excellent connotations. It would be a waste to make you work odd jobs. It will be enough for you to officially join the Azure Mountain sect. Since he is willing, Master Ma, what is your opinion?”

Old Master Ma naturally was not willing to let go of a genius student he had tried so long to gain. He had actually hoped to pass on the mantle to Shen Xingcheng since the student was so much better than the teacher, and make the Mount Indigo Monastery sect widespread.

Well, his son had committed a grave wrong, and to save his son’s life he would have to make a painful sacrifice. This student was honest and pure, and it was such a pity… they were not fated to be together.

Master Ma had a conflicted expression on his face as he looked toward Shen Xingcheng. He sighed and pulled out an old book.

He handed it over and spoke, “It is rare indeed to understand such a deep truth, and as your teacher I cannot help you. Here is a book, secretly passed down in our sect. Work on cultivating and practicing it, and we may have the chance to meet again.”

Shen Xingcheng kowtowed three times to his master, expressing his extreme reluctance.

“Alright, delete all those things, and go to the Truth Department to rectify any consequences. Since I’ve gotten such a student, I’ll just let this go.” Gu Buwei, with a wave of his sleeve, took Shen Xingcheng along with him and disappeared from the room.

Once he had departed, there was a loud smack.

Ma Ping could not dodge the slap.

A red mark appeared on his left cheek, but he did not dare dodge and turned his right cheek towards his father unwillingly.

Master Ma had raised his hand to slap him again, but then sighed. It was too much for him to bear. “Bastard son, I know you were trying to speak up for me, but this is not the right way! Practice your cultivation, and when you have reached their level, you can recuse whoever you want!”

Ma Ping, hearing this, had tears in his eyes. He eyed the computer, then held his hands in fists and quietly grit his teeth.

He lashed out his fist towards the computer screen, but was held in place.

Master Ma sighed. “As long as you maintain this attitude. Why should we break it? Let’s just sell it…”

Not everyone was as lucky as Sir Fang, awakening Sir System to invade him. A salted fish 1 like him could actually feign wisdom…

…

Deep below the ground somewhere.

Bai Shixin was surfing the net to search some information and intelligence. The Forum of Monsters was often his target, since there was where many weird, rare things were posted except, of course, important secrets.

The post by King of the Universe was so popular that he had read it at once before it was deleted.

Immediately, it was like a scar in his heart being torn open, and the replies after it all hit his core.

Huh, that was true. Those humans hadn’t possessed extraordinary powers before, and because of this they had procured a higher wisdom.

All of them went straight to the point. Anyone could have concluded that “Everyone steals wives according to their combat level, and whose are higher can take another person’s wife”.

At this, those at the Upper Realm, who placed emphasis on power, were too different. Since it was something that can be done using bulldozer-like power, why linger on it?

Then, a voice spoke in his mind.

“I have told you before. ‘Examples like you who turn from genius to rubbish in our human novels have to have a very terrible time first’…”

Bai Shixin scoffed and said coldly, “Elder Bai, making others feel worse is not something a true man would do.”

Elder Bai laughed at this. “To demons like you, treating you the way a true man does is hopeless. Didn’t you say you could take the chance to cultivate the Spiritual Method? Didn’t you say you could conceal your true abilities to prevent the suspicion of that old demon? What now?”

Backed into a corner, Bai Shixin’s face violently reddened as though someone had slapped him.

This was rare for a calm character like him, and it was apparent how much it affected him…

Elder Bai did not stop, but went on. “You are smart and strategic, and care about the entire situation. You want to bring glory to the Greater Rat clan, but what will you get?

“Invaluable appreciation and pampering? Everyone looks as though they admire you but they in truth look down on you. Not only do you demons place power first, in fact in the New Era, someone not being to cultivate won’t high standing among the humans as easily, he can only be a thinker.”

Bai Shixin said much later, “Stop wasting your effort. Did you think I don’t know you are trying to cause conflict? As long as I have done more great deeds, I will be named the deity of the Greater Rat clan.”

Elder Bai laughed again. “So what? Don’t lie to yourself and other people. Do you think becoming a God only requires great deeds to be done? Without that old demon’s approval, if you still think of becoming a God, then I am afraid when all your value have been squeezed dry, you will soon be disappointed thoroughly.

“That old demon gave the love of its life – Cang Gongzi’s mother – as a sacrifice before it got the earliest spirit to come successfully. Even such a secret has been discovered by you, and hinted to Cang Gongzi as to ensure a safe way out. Did you think he will be relaxed knowing you are alive?”

Bai Shixin was shaken. After a very long while, he said, “Alright, all the discontent from being trapped has been relieved. Just tell me your purpose.”

Elder Bai did not put him down, but slowly told him something.

Bai Shixin’s face changed when he had just heard the beginning, getting up in order to look.

However, he settled back later with a sigh. Without magic power and all his cultivation gone, how was he going to examine those secret investigating spells?

At least Elder Bai had a soul connection with him, and any spell was hard to detect.
