Chapter 91 Farewell to Lei Peng
Chapter 91 Farewell to Lei Peng
Deep within the Chaotic Star Sea, above the turbulent waters.
Lei Peng stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sharp as he scanned the two juniors before him.
Beside him, the Great Roc King and the Myriad Sound Bird were respectfully listening to his teachings, while Han Xiaoliu alone hung his head, looking as if he were lost in thought.
"In the cultivation world, there has never been any gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality, or humility!" Lei Peng's voice boomed like thunder, shaking the surrounding seawater. "Remember this: whether you're human or demon, if you want to stand firm, you must be ruthless! This Chaotic Star Sea may seem vast, but it's a battlefield of carnage everywhere. Human cultivators will kill each other for a few spirit stones, and demons will massacre thousands of miles to seize territory. If you're not ruthless, others will tear you apart, drain your marrow, and leave not even ashes!"
He paused, his gaze fixed on the faintly visible streak of light in the distance, and sneered, "Take Feng hope, who's been relentlessly pursuing me, for example. That junior truly understands the essence of 'ruthlessness.' He's relentlessly chased me, willing to pay any price to corner me. Whatever he wants, no matter how far away or what cost, he'll get it! That's the attitude of a true powerhouse! Cultivating immortality is about defying the heavens, about fighting and killing, about seizing the creation of heaven and earth, about contending with the heavens and fighting against humanity!"
The Great Roc King and the Wonderful Bird were thrilled and nodded in agreement.
Han Xiaoliu couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly. He thought to himself: Ruthless? What's the use of being ruthless? In his previous life on Earth, he was a corporate slave, working himself to the bone every day with a 996 schedule. Now that he's finally transmigrated to this cultivation world, does he expect to fight and live in constant fear just to make a living?
Then wouldn't my time travel have been for nothing?
His cultivation principles have always been simple and brutal: if he can lie down, he'll never sit; if he can sit, he'll never stand. As for seizing the creation of heaven and earth? He's already dragged Han Li onto the bandwagon; with his luck, what rare treasures can't he get his hands on! He only needs to focus on BOSS Direct Recruitment.
Thinking of this, Han Xiaoliu pretended to be deeply inspired and nodded slightly, but in his heart he had already begun to plan where he could find a safe place so that he could lie comfortably for hundreds of years.
After all, you can only contribute if you're alive, and you can only win in the end if you survive.
"You brat, I'm talking to you!" Lei Peng glanced at Han Xiaoliu's nonchalant and aloof demeanor, and immediately felt a surge of anger, his brows furrowing.
He slightly raised his fingertip, flicked his finger, and a thin bolt of lightning shot straight towards Han Xiaoliu with a "sizzle"!
"what!"
A sharp, piercing pain shot through Han Xiaoliu, who jumped up abruptly, clutching his buttocks, his face contorted in agony: "Are you out of your mind! Why are you hitting me to discipline the child?!"
"With your carefree and irresponsible attitude, how can I trust you to take them away?" Lei Peng sneered, staring at him with piercing eyes.
Han Xiaoliu curled her lip in annoyance and said nonchalantly, "Mind your own business. They won't die even if I do!"
Upon hearing this, Lei Peng's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and he felt somewhat relieved, but he still pressed on with a hint of scrutiny, "Even if you die, they won't die?"
"Don't worry, it's all taken care of!" Han Xiaoliu patted his chest loudly, his confident and resolute demeanor finally dispelling Lei Peng's last doubts.
"Since that's the case, you should leave today!" Lei Peng's tone was filled with reluctance, but his eyes were unusually firm.
"Really?!" Han Xiaoliu's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
Having been captured by Lei Peng for several years, I never expected that God would actually open his eyes today!
"Let's go! Aren't you good at earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of escape technique)? Let's go from under this island!" Lei Peng waved his hand.
Without any hesitation, Han Xiaoliu turned around and shouted to the two little ones, "Dapeng, Yanzi, kowtow three times to your master, we're going home!"
"Master Lei Peng, goodbye forever!" The two cubs, Dapeng King and Miaoyin Bird, obediently lay on the ground and kowtowed three times to Lei Peng. Their relieved expressions were exactly the same as Han Xiaoliu's!
Lei Peng watched this scene, his eyes twitching slightly. Unable to contain his emotions, he turned his back to the two children, no longer looking at them, and said to Han Xiaoliu in a deep voice, "You've got a good idea, kid. I'll give you a chance!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Peng took out a warm jade slip, probed it with his divine sense, and quickly left some information inside.
After casually tossing the jade slip to Han Xiaoliu, he transformed into a sharp streak of light and vanished into the sky!
Han Xiaoliu steadily took the jade slip, probed it with his divine sense, and found that it contained two cultivation techniques and a map.
"Kid, I've left you two ancient cultivation techniques and a fortuitous opportunity! Raise those two well!" Lei Peng's voice transmission came at just the right moment.
Han Xiaoliu carefully examined the map, noticing that the marked location seemed to be somewhere in the depths of the Chaotic Star Sea.
He glanced at it only once before calmly putting the jade slip into his storage bag.
"Boss, shall we go back now? It's too far from Tianxing City. It might take us several years to get back!" Bubble nimbly flew out of the spirit beast pouch and landed steadily on Han Xiaoliu's shoulder, tilting its head to discuss the next steps with him.
Han Xiaoliu silently calculated the time in his mind. In two years, the "Dreamlike Three Realms" will be opened again, and the Golden Thunder Bamboo in his hands urgently needs to be cultivated. If he rushes on his way now, he will inevitably waste too much precious time.
Moreover, we may need to come to this deep sea again in the future, so it is obviously necessary to set up a teleportation point here!
"We're not going back. Let's find a small island and go into seclusion for a while! We'll consider returning to Tianxing City after the Dreamlike Three Realms event ends!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them transformed into streaks of light and flew into the spirit beast pouch.
Han Xiaoliu took a deep breath, his figure blurred, and he instantly disappeared into the earth's veins, speeding away in the opposite direction from where Lei Peng had left.
Han Xiaoliu activated the Earth Vein Escape Technique and swam underwater for more than a month before finally finding a remote island with extremely thin spiritual energy.
He pressed down on his escape light, quietly stepped onto the edge of the island, and looked around.
The island is shaped like a crescent moon, with three not-so-tall peaks arranged in a row along the arc of the crescent, forming a natural barrier.
The island has sparse vegetation and exposed rocks, looking desolate and devoid of any spiritual energy, making it an excellent hiding place.
However, just as Han Xiaoliu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a terrifying pressure that made one's heart tremble suddenly erupted from the center of the island.
He was startled and cautiously probed with his divine sense. He saw a huge creature perched in the central area surrounded by three mountain peaks.
The monster resembled a giant crocodile, but had six thick, long legs and its entire body was covered with thick, iron-like, grayish-brown skin.
It lay prostrate on the ground, its massive body resembling a small mountain, each breath causing the surrounding air to tremble.
What is most striking is its enormous head, covered with hideous bone spikes, and a pair of scarlet beastly eyes that gleam with a savage and ferocious light in the shadows.
"It's a Sea King Beast!" Han Xiaoliu's pupils contracted slightly, and he inwardly cried out in alarm.
This level-six demonic beast, the Sea King Beast, is the absolute overlord of this island.
The moment Han Xiaoliu appeared, it sensed the presence of the outsider, slowly raised its head, and let out a low roar, which shook the rocks on the three mountain peaks and caused them to tumble down.
Han Xiaoliu cursed his bad luck. He had intended to find a place with sparse spiritual energy to lie low, but he never expected to stumble into the lair of such a ferocious beast.
It's just a level 6 demon beast, only in the mid-stage of Core Formation, we can fight it!
