Chapter 2694 - 36: Heavenly Will Is Always High and Hard to Fathom (Part 2)

Chai Asi couldn’t figure out how Shi Shanwen’s name was not in harmony with destiny.

But it didn’t affect his genuine admiration, because it was really accurate!

"High opinion of the Supreme!" Chai Asi said eagerly, "Recently, the Heavenly Sea King indeed fell into Frost Wind Valley, it seems he perished together with a scoundrel from the Human Race named Jiang Wang!"

"...Go train first. You are starting to have some form with your swordsmanship, but your body is still weak. I will split a strand of Divine Thought and tailor a set of Body Refining Techniques for you!"

"Great kindness and virtue of the Supreme, Chai does not know how to repay!" Chai Asi was full of joy, his morale high, and he rushed into the courtyard.

He twirled the iron rod, wielding it with some flair.

Nowadays, Jiang Wang already has the qualification to preach on the Dao. Developing some cultivation techniques for a little monster equivalent to Circulation Realm Cultivation is not difficult. For instance, the Heaven and Earth Sinking Secret Sword Technique previously passed on was casually created, not considered top-notch, but if Chai Asi were to master it, ordinary little monsters wouldn’t be able to stand firm before him.

Now with more understanding of Chai Asi, further developing Body Refinement Techniques is absolutely appropriate and useful. Of course, in body refinement, hardships are inevitable. How can one not experience a few rounds of sword mountains and oil cauldrons?

If you don’t make this little monster shed a few layers of skin, he won’t understand what "speech karma" is, nor comprehend the truths of demon life.

After practicing swordsmanship alone for a while, Chai Asi suddenly remembered something and eagerly ran back to the shrine——to be honest, a certain Ancient God felt that being worshipped like this, with incense burning in front, was quite inauspicious, but he had no good reason to refuse and could only accept it reluctantly.

"Supreme!" Chai Asi said eagerly, "I just remembered something, the Jin Yang Platform Unrestricted Martial Arts Tournament is about to open for registration. Do you think if I master this Heaven and Earth Sinking Secret Sword Technique and train in the Body Refining Techniques you teach, I can dominate the tournament and win the leadership position?"

Jiang Wang had no idea what kind of event this was, but he could guess a thing or two just from the name.

Hence, he merely replied: "Don’t aim too high or do irrelevant things."

He merely wanted this little monster to shape up a bit, earn some Dao Yuan Stone, buy some spiritual medicine from the Monster Realm to help him recover from his injuries sooner.

Or help the little monster enlist in the army soon, find a way to be transferred to South Celestial City. After which, the old man could find an opportunity to slip away. Otherwise, staying in the Monster Realm regularly, does he really want to cultivate a peerless demon?

This little monster is truly getting carried away. What tournament, and unrestricted...what if he gets beaten to death?

Only a bare mirror would remain, unable to move a step in the Monster Realm, and very difficult to return to the Five Evils Basin!

A basin of cold water was poured over him, Chai Asi let out an ’oh’ and mumbled: "I heard that the top ten in this Jin Yang Platform Unrestricted Martial Arts Tournament will each be rewarded with a Prime Bone Grass, said to be able to reconstruct the Dao Body. The little monster wondered if it might be of help to the Supreme..."

"...What was that about the martial arts tournament?" the voice in the mirror replied, "This seat thought about it, you indeed need a trial now. Register, go register immediately."

Chai Asi immediately got excited: "You may not be aware, the Jin Yang Platform Unrestricted Martial Arts Tournament is the most famous and long-standing martial arts tournament on our side, and only demons under thirty can participate. It’s mainly aimed at these three places: The Sky Sloth Wilderness, Purple Wu Hills, Divine Fragrance Flower Sea, traditionally it’s a grand event...I heard that Lady Lan Ruo will be selecting a Prince Consort at this martial arts tournament!"

A moment ago, the Ancient God with the Jiang surname thought that this little monster’s "filial heart was commendable", now he only thought "his intentions are appalling".

The dog’s tail couldn’t be hidden at all!

Calling supreme repeatedly, yet thinking always about being a prince consort.

That Zhu Lanruo, is she truly that beautiful?

Of course, the Ancient God’s voice was always kindly and encouraging, filled with warmth: "Since you’ve decided to participate in this event, then you must cultivate even more earnestly, don’t disgrace this seat. As it is said, ’Cultivate the Dao for a hundred years and no demon asks, achieve godhood in a day and the world knows!’ With diligence and hardship, prospects will naturally be seen."

Chai Asi drank this chicken soup, moved to tears, he went to practice his sword again.

Leaving only the Ancient God’s mirror, silently in the shrine.

The Jiang person in the Mirror World couldn’t actually be as relaxed as his voice suggested.

Lately, hidden within the Red Mirror, under Chai Asi’s cover, he wandered everywhere in Mo Yun City. While familiarizing himself with demon clan customs, he also gained a rough understanding of the Southern Heaven battle that happened days ago.

Listening intently, all sounds coming. He heard and collected much more relevant information than Chai Asi who was honestly chatting with those little monsters.

Even though the details of the war had already been distorted by the time they reached the streets of Mo Yun City.

But for Jiang Wang, who was familiar with Qi Country’s military system, familiar with the battlefield, especially familiar with Jiang Mengxiong and Zuo Xiao, reconstructing the overall pace of the war wasn’t difficult.

He was grateful to Jiang Mengxiong, grateful to Qi Country for going to war for him, and he was even more moved by Mr. Zuo, who rushed from Chuguo, moved by the sincere care that saw him as kin.

But these are matters for the future. He remembers all grudges and kindness.

The most important thing now is how to return to the Civilization Basin, return to the territory under the control of the Human Race.

But is returning to the Civilization Basin a simple matter?

Now he already had a relatively clear plan - which was to elevate Chai Asi’s strength, let this unrealistic dreamer, also a little monster crushed under life’s pressure, first pass the army assessment, become a Monster Soldier or even a Monster General, then find a way to transfer to South Celestial City, then in any random military conflict, he would jump out from the Red Mirror and escape back to Civilization Basin with the mirror.
