Way of the Devil - Chapter 693

Chapter 693: 693

The support from Empress Wa’s Essential Essence reduced the strain he had to bear greatly . For the first time, Lu Sheng had the leisure to look at his surroundings within the space-time vortex .

He felt as if he was shuttling past a colorful cylindrical tunnel . The inner wall of the tunnel was full of weirdly contorting lines of radiance .

The entire tunnel would turn and bend constantly . If he was not careful, he would crash into the inner wall of the tunnel which suddenly bent toward him .

Lu Sheng clearly knew that if he collided with the contorting inner wall, it was highly possible for him to directly charge into an alien world of unknown coordinates and dangers .

In the past, he would set formation lines on both sides, so all he’d have to do was to stay on course . However, he had stayed for slightly too long in this world . Only a faint remnant of the lines connecting the formations could be picked up . Most of the time, he could only continue flying based on his instincts .

There was no sense of time at all in the tunnel . It seemed as fleeting as an instant, and it seemed as long as a few years .

Lu Sheng soon saw a gray spot of light appearing before himself . The spot of light was emitting the familiar aura of the Heavenly Devil World .

He felt invigorated, and hastened toward the gray spot of light .

“Boom!”

There was a sudden jerk . Lu Sheng’s sight blurred . When he could focus his eyes again, he found himself sitting in the bed chambers of his own manor . The battered remains of the Arrival Formation were all around him .

Shards of the shattered black crystals scattered everywhere .

“I’m back . I’m surprised that it went smoothly . ” He sighed with relief . He stood up among the formation . The clothes on his body were also burnt to a crisp while he shuttled through space and time . He quickly took a set of fresh clothes from the hidden compartment in his bedroom, gave them a few good shakes, and wore them .

‘Although I didn’t assimilate his spirit because the karma remains unsettled, gaining insight on the reincarnation heart and entering the semi-Void Underworld state was already an unprecedented and huge reward . Next, I’ll have to gather reincarnation power, absorb it, and evolve my Heart World so that I can completely stabilize my Void Underworld tier . ’

Lu Sheng opened the door and walked out of his bedroom in which he was conducting his secluded cultivation .

The Silverblood whom he unintentionally came across, Tora Bach, was anxiously standing guard outside the door . However, she could not get in because of the formation .

When she saw Lu Sheng stepping out, she sighed in relief .

“My Lord, are you alright!?” Toram Bach had been sleeping . When she suddenly heard a loud noise, she hastily got to her feet . When she found out that the sound came from within Lu Sheng’s room, she was instantly flustered .

She could not remember anything about her past, nor could she remember who she was . However, she was very grateful to Lu Sheng, who took her in .

If Lu Sheng had not instructed her not to go in, she would have barged into the room right away . After all, she was an Anomaly . It would not be a problem for her even if she was slightly hurt .

“I’m alright . ” Lu Sheng made a grabbing motion . The trash scattered within his room flew out, and was compressed into a black ball which dropped beside the courtyard’s door .

“Dispose of it later . How long have I been in seclusion this time?” he casually asked .

“My Lord, it has been slightly more than two months,” Toram Bach hastily answered after adding the days up . “The Zhao Family have come for you during this period . It seems that they were interested in hiring you for treatment . Also, some Red Moon Disciples were here for you, they looked as if they wanted to learn about something . ”

“Oh?” Lu Sheng nodded . He sat down in the dining room, and had Toram Bach serve the food and drinks . He had stayed too long in the Mystic World . He liked the taste of the dished here better .

“What about the daily and monthly reports for these two months?”

“They’re all here . ” Toram Bach placed a stack of newspapers for the past two months on the table .

Lu Sheng ate the food as he scanned through the important headlines .

There were not many changes within Libra City . The Green Branch Sect and the Mother of Pain were still locked in a stalemate . The general situation was almost the same as when he’d left .

The Red Moon Cult was the one that had experienced some changed . The mission which Men Fa led the other day had some progress, and many disciples were attracted by it .

Lu Sheng placed the papers down and heaved a long sigh .

In hindsight, his recent Arrival experience was slightly illogical . There was no way that the flow of time in the Mystic World could be that much quicker than in the Heavenly Devil World .

Other matters aside, with an expert at the level of Empress Wa in that world, the energy rank would certainly not have been weaker than the Heavenly Devil World’s . Also, judging by the Indefinite Cult Master’s words, he reckoned that the Mystic World was vaster and more formidable than the Heavenly Devil World .

Lu Sheng had never thought of the Heavenly Devil World, in which he was born, as the center of the universe .

‘My current priority is to bring my family out . Then, I’ll search for reincarnation spirits to absorb…’

The galaxy of the Heavenly Devil World was gradually progressing toward war . Even the impartial Libra City was showing intentions of joining in the fray .

Lu Sheng was unsure how long this peace would hold . However, he would have to find a refuge before time was up .

‘I wonder how Mi Guangying is doing on her side…’ He took out the Iron Flag Council’s origin stone and attempted to contact Mi Guangying .

Yellow Springs Planet Number 3 .

Black net-like lines appeared all across the dark yellow planet’s surface .

The planet had several yellow rings . Beams of black flowing light could occasionally be seen shooting past it as well .

On the side of the planet shaded from the nearest star, it was late at night in the vast black barren desert .

A black flying ship in the shape of a 100-meter-long fish parked itself silently in one corner of the desert .

There was a steady flow of human traffic at the stern of the flying ship as the passengers boarded it .

Mi Guangying’s silver armor only covered her crucial parts . She wore a strange-looking hat with a tall, standing black feather .

She was standing beside a fair-skinned maiden with an exquisite face and wearing black robes .

“Little Sister Anza, thank you for your help . ” Mi Guangying was slightly filled with emotion . If it were not for the help of this little sister who called herself Anza, it would not have been this easy to search for the flaw in the Black Measure Web .

“That’s alright . Lu Sheng and I are friends . I do not have many of them, but each and every one of my friends deserve my help . ” The way Anza spoke was slightly eccentric, but she was slightly getting used to it after spending a dozen days here .

“Actually, another person has helped us from the shadows to find the flaw in the Black Measure Web, but she doesn’t want to be known . So, I’ll be representing her as well here . After all, I intend to leave this place as well,” Anza added .

“Is that so?” Mi Guangying smiled, and did not ask further . After all, what she cared about was fulfilling the promise she’d made to Lu Sheng . Other matters were not of her concern .

“Are you sure that you want to leave with this cohort?”

“Of course . This is as much me helping Lu Sheng as my helping myself . ” Anza nodded . “I’ll be bringing two others . That won’t be a problem, right?”

“It’s not a big deal . Once we’re out of the Yellow Springs Galaxy, my uncle will personally take over . We’ll be safe by then,” Mi Guangying said with a smile . “Don’t worry, my uncle owes that guy a favor as well, so he’ll definitely do his part this time, even if it means being found out by the Mother of Pain . ”

“That’s good to hear . ” Anza nodded .

If they actually succeeded this time, their days of struggling on Yellow Springs Planet would finally come to an end .

“At this point, should I be rejoicing that the Mother of Pain doesn’t really think much about us?” Anza smiled bitterly .

“The Mother of Pain is only considered a great being in the Yellow Springs Galaxy, which is quite a remote place . Beyond this part of the universe, she’s at most a slightly powerful Void Underworld being,” Mi Guangying spoke with a relaxed smile . “When you’re at Libra City, you’ll see just how great the differences can be . ”

“Mm-hm . ” Anza nodded heavily .

“How long do we have until the star tomb hour?” Mi Guangying asked softly .

“About 26 hours,” Anza replied .

“Mm-hm . Have everyone from the Prime Devil Sect and Lu Family get ready . They should only be bringing rations, no space-time treasures or powerful Artifacts are allowed . Those that must be brought with them will have to be surrendered to the ship’s sealed room for safekeeping…”

Mi Guangying was no stranger to inter-galactic migrations . She spouted a series of requirements that the passengers should look out for . She made sure her hundred-man team was working seamlessly .

Lu Sheng burned an incense stick and sat down slowly .

He was alone in a silent room which had no windows . There was only a fist-sized hole which served as the entrance .

Soundproof Formation veins were carved all over the walls in densely packed rows . The construction of this room had cost Lu Sheng most of his ice money .

After attaining the Void Underworld tier, Lu Sheng did not value ice money as highly anymore . All he needed it for was to carry out Arrivals .

He used the remaining amount of ice money to buy materials for the formation . With the money, he converted a storeroom in his manor into an absolutely sealed room .

Two sets of soundproofing and a great formation for protection . This was the highest level of a great formation he could afford with all his available materials .

Lu Sheng had only finished setting everything up after six hours . Then, he entered his state of secluded cultivation .

He had gained much from this recent Arrival . After gaining complete insight, he attained the Void Underworld tier . It was now a whole new beginning .

Whether it was in Libra City, the Yellow Springs Planet, or among the Red Moon Disciples, with his Void Underworld tier, he could become a domineering presence, establish his own sect, and form his own organization .

The only issue would be the size of the territory and amount of resources he would be able to take control of depending on his strength .

‘At this stage, I have more than 17,000,000 Mental Energy units . It’s time for me to spend them . ’

Mental Energy units would only serve a purpose after they were converted into strength . Lu Sheng intended to spend all his Mental Energy in this secluded cultivation session .

“Deep Blue . ”

He summoned the modifier’s interface .

At this stage, the Infinity Technique which the modifier had derived before this was not too suitable anymore .

‘The basis of the Infinity Technique’s creation was a possibility drawn out of thin air while my experiences were scant back then . However, with what I know now, the Infinity Technique seems to be too perfect . In truth, there are many parts of it that are no different than ordinary cultivation systems . There aren’t any advantages as well . ’

Lu Sheng weighed some of his options .

‘Even now, my Yang Essence can still serve its healing and nourishing purposes . However, it’s not as convenient to use as spirit-prompting threads . Also, its contributions aren’t as great as spirit-prompting threads’ . However, the amount of Mental Energy I’ve invested in the Infinity Technique far surpassed that of my spirit-prompting threads . ’

He closed his eyes, deep in thought .

He had experienced many worlds, universes, and countless skill formulas .

‘Now that I’m in the Void Underworld tier, and I’ll be able to get my hands on Void Underworld-tier cultivation methods, if I used the East Park Autumn Dew Fertilizing Method as the base and continued to derive that, with my current stash of Mental Energy, I might just be able to…’

Lu Sheng’s train of thought was interrupted . He shook his head .

‘No . Deriving a cultivation method will take too much of my Mental Energy . It might be doable for a rank or two, but if I were to derive it all on my own, the expenditure will be too great . It’s not feasible . If I can cultivate an available Void Underworld cultivation method and raise its rank, the Mental Energy I’ll have to spend will be much less than when deriving it… In any case, I should put all the powers I’ve learnt about so far together . I’ll separate the wheat from the chaff and purify it completely . ’ He had transmigrated to many worlds, and had retained the essences of the worlds within himself .

This way, it was actually helpful to himself . It was the equivalent of having more ultimate moves . However, the more the he did this, the more moves he would have, which would inevitably turn into impurities that impeded his improvements instead .

Lu Sheng gave it some thought . He decided to use the East Park Autumn Dew Fertilizing Method as the core and derive that .

After gaining insight and achieving a breakthrough to the Void Underworld tier, he easily raised the ranks of the fertilizing method to the highest rank, rank-9 . Lu Sheng easily converted all his Infinity Technique’s competence into the fertilizing methods unique, Void Underworld-tier Pure Qi, the Land Qi .

“East Park Autumn Dew Fertilizing Method, rank-9 . (Special traits . All-nourishing effect . Fertile Radiance . Civilization Transition . )”

The names of the three special traits made Lu Sheng instantly understand their uses . They were all applied onto the external environment .

There were no improvements applied onto himself .

‘With this as the foundation, derive it again . Let’s hope I can assimilate the essence of all my Arrivals into it . ’

He focused his mind and pushed the modify button on the modifier slowly .

Also, he wanted to see if he could substitute the reincarnation spirit with Mental Energy and rank up his cultivation method’s tier .
