Chapter 1329: Chapter 750: Parting, Seeds, Whale Shadows and Emerald-Eyed Dragon King! (2)

The cultivation conditions definitely won’t be any worse than at United University; they’ll only be better than United University’s."

"Are you sure?" Meng Chuan shot back, then immediately shook his head:

"Forget it, my research institute is almost finished, it’s a Five Elements-complete blessed land, could our group even fund something better than that for me?"

"...Then pretend I never said anything."

Shen Shuo shook his head. When it came to a blessed land, especially one of the "Five Elements complete" level, it was already something money couldn’t solve.

Right after, Shen Shuo took a drag of his cigar, then asked:

"President Meng, so when are you planning to Break Four?"

"This trip back to United University, I’m going into seclusion and breaking through to Four in one go."

Shen Shuo nodded, stubbed out his cigar, and raised his glass:

"Then let me congratulate you in advance on a successful Breaking Four."

Shen Shuo was genuinely happy for Meng Chuan, but at the same time there was a bit of bitterness.

He really hadn’t expected that Meng Chuan had first surpassed him in combat strength, and now, in terms of cultivation, was about to catch up as well...

This was what a genius was; there was nothing to say.

Shen Shuo adjusted his mindset a bit, then got up and said:

"Come on, come on, everyone raise your glasses, let’s congratulate our President Meng on successfully taking the title of [First Generation]!"

Meng Chuan also stood up and said with a smile:

"You’re being too polite, Old Shen, cheers!"

...

The next morning.

In front of the Martial Arts Association building, Meng Chuan handed Yang Yuelian a "burning piece of wood" that was black with specks of green light.

This was his girlfriend’s item.

With this thing to assist her, and with Aunt Bai’s guidance, he believed that the next time he saw Yang Yuelian, she would have gone through earth-shaking changes.

The two hugged once, then said their goodbyes.

"Chuan’Er, I’ll cultivate with Elder Bai for two months and then return to Emei. By then, once you’ve broken through Four, I’ll go to Lishan Mountain to find you."

Yang Yuelian lifted her head, rubbing her flawless jade-like cheek against her boyfriend’s chin. Even though there was a lot of reluctance in her heart, her tone remained firm.

Everyone had their own cultivation path; it was like this for Meng Chuan, and it was the same for her.

"Alright, do your best. Let’s both hurry up and Break Four and become Grandmasters.

Go on, don’t keep Aunt Bai waiting."

Meng Chuan pinched his girlfriend’s cheek, and only then did Yang Yuelian reluctantly let go.

...

Martial Arts Association.

Dragon King Cui was currently waiting for him in his own cultivation room, and on the way there, Meng Chuan took the chance to perform an Introspection on himself.

All his four limbs and hundred bones were simultaneously flashing with a peculiar radiance, and the instant that mysterious light flared, a strange scene slowly unfolded before his eyes.

Whoosh—

Following along the surging great river of blood, Meng Chuan blinked and appeared at the edge of a black "farmland."

This place was very close to the World Tree.

This was precisely the "Shroud-Nurturing Pool" he had specially marked out to convert Earth Demon into.

His gaze swept over it in a circle, then Meng Chuan scooped up a handful with his hand, brought it to his nose and sniffed, nodding to himself:

"All of this is the shroud energy I obtained from Colby earlier; now it’s finally been completely converted."

He lightly exerted strength under his feet and spread the five fingers of his right hand.

With a slight clench, Earth Demon surged up from the Shroud-Nurturing Pool like a tide.

Buzz—

These Earth Demon were kneaded in midair by an invisible giant hand into a ball, about the size of a hawthorn pill.

The quantity was a bit more than last time, but not by much.

But for postnatal shroud to convert into Earth Demon with this kind of effect, Meng Chuan was already satisfied.

A black eagle beat its wings and sliced across the high sky, and Meng Chuan flicked his finger, tossing the ball into its beak.

The Geng Metal Mountain Range.

Whoo whoo—

A hurricane blew across the spine of the blade-gang-like mountain range, blasting open great rolling waves.

The great eagle that Calamity-Suppressor had transformed into sometimes stretched its neck in a high, ringing cry, sometimes let out a low, hoarse screech, its roars turning into tangible soundwaves that rippled out one ring after another.

As it drew ever closer to fifth-grade, Calamity-Suppressor’s own power continued to rise.

This was also the real reason why low-level Martial Arts Families were unable to use high-grade Divine Weapons.

Those with weak bodies simply couldn’t control powerful weapons.

Bang!

Meng Chuan beckoned, and the great eagle, its amplification completed, made a wing-beating motion, its whole body’s black light surging like flowing waves.

The great eagle dove straight toward him, the hurricane scattering the clouds and mist, and halfway through the air it transformed into a Big Halberd, hanging suspended in his palm.

The moment he tightened his grip, a tremendous eagle’s screech rang in both Meng Chuan’s ears and heart.

Screech!

"Why is it starting to turn red?"

He saw that below the halberd’s blade collar, a ring of blade-like eagle feathers was flowing with a jade-like crimson glow, and as True Qi poured in, the light flared brighter.

Whoosh—

As True Qi flooded into the Divine Weapon’s interior, a massive shadow slowly condensed in the air.

Meng Chuan gripped the halberd with one arm and stood side-on.

The massive body formed by the Black Eagle’s Soul manifested behind him, every feather black and glossy, scarlet light coiling endlessly around them. As Meng Chuan made his ready stance, it too spread its wings, poised to strike.

However, the moment the black eagle’s body moved, it became like a flame about to go out in a gale, flickering unsteadily.

Seeing this, Meng Chuan gently shook his head and withdrew all his aura.

"A Tier Five True Spirit really still isn’t enough for Calamity-Suppressor to advance to fifth-grade. I still need more Earth Demon to raise the quality and stabilize the weapon’s soul."

He flipped the halberd and hurled it out. It turned back into a great eagle and flew off, and the massive shadow behind him likewise dispersed.

So Calamity-Suppressor right now still couldn’t count as a fifth-grade Divine Weapon.

But his mood was still excellent; all that was missing was Earth Demon, and Calamity-Suppressor would naturally break through to fifth-grade.

For someone like him who possessed the Earth Evil Treasure Body, this really wasn’t anything difficult.

"The 1.8 cubic meters of [Celestial Cyan Evil] I ordered from the Martial Arts Association Mall should be shipped soon. I’ll have Xu Qingfeng hold onto it for me first. Once I’m done with the matters in Shangjing, I’ll go back and continue converting Earth Demon."

Celestial Cyan Evil was the Celestial Cyan Qi; it was also what the Daoist School called Pure Celestial Cyan Qi.

Back when he first began cultivating the Cyan Nether Dragon-locking Skill, Meng Chuan had used a small amount of this substance; it was extremely valuable.

In essence, it was a type of Innate Evil, and its efficiency at converting Earth Demon was higher than that of things like Gang Evil.

Last night after finishing his pre-sleep exercise, Meng Chuan saw that the Martial Arts Association Mall happened to have an auction, so he spent six hundred million and bought it.

"When the time comes, I’ll see if it’s enough for Calamity-Suppressor to break through to fifth-grade. In any case, no matter what, in the future I can’t miss any opportunity where Innate Evil can be bought with money."

Increasing a Divine Weapon with Earth Demon was just one of its many uses; its greatest function was accelerating the tempering of True Gang.
