Tales Of Demons And Gods - The Rise Of Chen Long

Chapter 20 - CHAPTER 20: PEAK BLACK GOLD RANK



We reached the Holy orchid institute and got the permission to enter the tower. The principal explained to us that we are going to be seperated once entering the subspace. He also warned us that staying too long can damage your soul realm and might cripple your cultivation.

Me and my elder brother nodded to the principal and headed to the tower.

We entered the tower when suddenly, both of us got warp into a forest. I saw Ning\'er meditating, but the space warped again.

I was now alone in an empty white space. The energy was so amazing, that within a few minutes.

WHOOSH!

"Broken through the 1-star black gold rank."

I sat down and meditated some more. The enegy is just plain amazing! I just soak it up like a sponge. I kinda feel sorry to my brother because he can only absorb the energy 30% at a time while i abosorb 100% through the heavenly god tactics. By the end of the day, I nearly brokethrough 2-star black gold.

I took out my nightmare demon pot to start to fuse my dragon bloodline demon spirits. I concentrated extremely hard. While pouring my soul force to the pot, im also absorbing the energies outside. It was much easier to use the pot in this realm. I really need to get a realm like this one.

The pot started shaking.

KAPPUTT!

I then tried again. The pot started shaking again.

KAPPPUTT!

"Dammit! What the hell am I doing wrong?!"

I started thinking. I thought that i am focusing too much on the cores that i forgot to observe the energies and the pot itself.

I again started the process. I started to notice that some energies are not going to the cores but the pot itself. I pour in some more energy into the pot. It started shaking.

WHOOSH! ...KAAPPPUTTT!

"Crap! It already merged but broke it the end! I need a way to stabilize the energy. I then think of an idea. Since the pot like to absorb energy. I might as well fill it up with as much energy as possible.

So without the dwmon spirit cores. I meditated. I put 40% of absoption to the pot and 60% to my cultivation.

The next day...

"The pot started to repair itself. All the cracks started melding back together. The nightmare demon pot changed color. From black to dark green.

"So unlike Nie Li\'s Nightmare demon pot, mine levels up! Cool!." I said to myself

I feel the change of aura. My brother brokethrough the 2-star black gold rank. He will almost catch up to uncle. And Ning\'er brokethrough the gold rank. In the novel she was 5-star silver when she left the tower, but this time its better.

I started to fuse the demon spirits again.

KAAPPPUUTTT! - (failed)

KAAPPPUUTTT! - (failed again)

"Okay this is the last chance!" i said exitedly

KAPPUTTT! - (failed)

"Noooooo! What the hell! I all stories, the last try always succeeded." i yelled

I just sat back up again and continued my cultivation, when i suddenly heard.

"Your one funny kid young lad! I see your cultivation is not bad! Actually, all you kids have a good cultivation rank. I\'m actually jealous." - Ye Yan

I looked around and saw a ghostly figure in front of me. I then greeted me.

"This one\'s name is Chen Long of the divine family. It is an honor to meet you lord Ye Yan, the founder of the snow wind family and glory city!" i said

"Oh! It\'s good to meet yo-! W-wait a minute! You can see me! And you know who I am!" - Ye Yan ask.

"Yes lord Ye Yan. I have studied the history of Glory City!" - i said

"Hmm! I like you kid! Yes, my name is Ye Yan the founder. It seems the outside world got stronger. You might get to the pinnacle of legend rank like me!" - Ye Yan said

"Ah yes! In due time. I will not only reach it, but surpass it." - i said.

"There\'s a cultivation past legend rank?" he asked

"What!? Legend rank is only the beginning!? How come i never saw any!?" - Ye Yan

"My guess is that you live in a remote village during the age of darkness. I read from ancient scriptures that there are sects on the outside world. Where the leaders are demigods. And the highest cultivation are that of the supreme beings. And one of the proof is the nightmare demon pot artifact i was holding earlier." - said

"Tell me,what cultivation method are you using to get your cultivation go up so fast?" - Ye Yan

I know in the novel, Nie Li gave him a hard time. I am not gonna do that to him. Being stuck here for a long time is enough punishement.

"Well, to tell you the truth it is the heavenly god tactics technique. But i cannot teach you this cultivation, since you have a different foundation. The cultivation depends on ones attribute." i said. " Since you are frow the snow wind family, i think the heavenly lightning tactics is good for you. Ning\'er is using it right now!"

"Oh you mean that girl is using it?" he said. " So can you do me a favor and teach me this technique. In return I will give you these cultivation manuals!"

I nodded and taught him the mantra. He was surprised of hiw powerful the technique was. He also gave me the books which I put to the ring. Even if it is useless to me, i can modify it to make it more powerful.

"Hey kid! I know it is only a matter of time before you breakthrough legend rank! If you like, you can be my disciple!. But you have to come here for the lessons, im bound in this space!" he said

"Sorry lord Ye Yan but I can\'t! And I know about the thunder God\'s meteorite sword that your bound to."

"You can say that! I know a person who can help you take out the sword. He should be here any day now. He will also help you get a new body. I have no idea how, but I know there is a method in the higher cultivations."

"Really?! That\'s great! So i just have to wait for that fellow huh!" he said.

"Lord Ye Yan! I have a favor! I would like you to take me to the thunder God\'s meteorite sword. I would like to take the lightning tribulations to breakthrough in my cultivation.

"Hmmm! It is very dangerous young man! Are you completely sure! There is no going back once you start until it ends!" - Ye Yan

"Yes I am sure! I need to get stronger. There is a danger coming to glory city soon."- i said.

He agreed and took me to a hill where the sword is located. There were thunder and lightning everywhere.

"Okay! Here i go!"

I activated stealth and raced through the pathway dodging a lot of lightnings. Once I was close enough, i sat down and meditated. I fought the spirits in the swords and was struck by lightning multiple times.

I absorbed the lightning and heavenly energy holding the sword. I actually almost subdue the sword.But I\'m gonna leave that to Nie Li.

WHOOOOSH! (brokethrough 3-star)

WHOOOOSH! ( brokethough 4-star)

I almost brokethrough again but the lightning stopped. Everything was quite. I started to leave the hill.

When I was far enough from the hill, the thunder and lightning started again. So i tried to go near again, then it stopped. I now know it was because I passed the tribulation.

"You could have taken the sword kid!" -Ye Yan

"It was to bulky! I want a katana!" - i said

We went back to the place near Ning\'er and my elder brother. My brother is about to breakthrough the 3-star black gold rank.

I kinda feel sorry for surpassing my brother but well I want to be a supreme being. I just can\'t wait for everyone.

I sat down and cultivated again. Days go by, then I heard the sounds of argument and saw Nie Li arguing with Ye Yan. Nie Li can\'t see me, since his mind is still in Ye Yan\'s realm.

Then Nie Li talked about the Thunder God\'s Meteorite Sword. And everyone snap out from the imagination realm of Ye Yan.

"Chen Long! Your here!" - Nie Li and Ning\'er

"You pass me little bro! I guess I need to train harder!" - Chen Long

"Your guys aura! Your both black gold rank!" Nie Li shouted in alarm.

"Shhhh! Keep it down. Don\'t tell anyone okay! We want to keep a low profile!" - i said

"I didn\'t think ancient cultivation is this fast?" - Nie Li

"I don\'t want to answer that! So! your here for the sword huh! i said

"H-how do you know?!" Nie Li

"Well, we all have our secrets! I already saw it but wasnt interested in it. Go ahead and have it if you want. Most of the spirits are gone so it should be easier for you to get near it." i said

"You may be my friend, but you know too much about me! I will find secrets about you soon enough Long!" - Nie Li

I just smiled and started to cultivate again. Ning\'er sat next to me and stared at me for awhile, then began to cultivate again.

Chen Linjian decided to cultivate farther, to stay away from the 2 love birds.

WHOOOSH!

I finally brokethough the 5-star black gold rank. The energy is not high enough to breakthough the legend rank. The gap is to wide. So i decided to stop. Then i looked at Xiao Ning\'er.

WHOOSH!

She brokethrough 2-star gold rank.

I told her I\'m leaving and if she wanted to go with me. She said she wanted to atleast be black gold rank. So she decided to stay a bit inside the sacred border. I gave her pills to last for 2 weeks and food and provisions.

I then ask my brother if he will go too, but said he wants to breakthrough 5-star also before going out. This is his last chance, since he is already 15 years old.

Nie Li came back with Ye Yan and the sword. We warped outside the tower and saw Du Ze and Lu Piao waiting outside.

I greeted them, but seperated from the group. My goal is to buy all the dragon bloodline demon spirits. And also I missed the weekly contributions, so i need give double the amount.

Nie Li and the group went to the blacksmith to make Ye Yan a soul puppet.
