Chapter 453 Villain Cultivator 2.0 (7)
Chapter 453 – Villain Cultivator 2.0 (7)
The new place was a series of caves as if it was a giant ant's nest. However, it was well-supported by metal frames as if this place was an abandoned mine.
Shuri carried Miaomiao to a dead-end part of the cave maze. She then put him on a rock bed.
"This is your new home. If you need to leave, follow the scratch marks on the walls. It always points toward the exit. You should also get familiar with the cave structure since you will have to go in and out often.
"Me. Understand, GOB!"
Shuri snorted and left Miaomiao and the goblin alone.
.
.
For a year, Shuri always checked on Miaomiao every month. During the early days, she always fed Miaomiao with her breast milk. However, as goblins grew fast, Miaomiao reached his teenage period after a year.
The goblin parent tried to teach Miaomiao hunting techniques and even brought him out to explore the world. Miaomiao pretended to be a filial son and followed the goblin father around.
On his birthday, changes occurred in Miaomiao's lifestyle. As a one-year-old half-goblin, he was 175 meters tall (5'9), and he was considered an adult by the goblin's standards.
Shuri stopped giving him her breast milk. Even the goblin father kicked Miaomiao out.
"You. Adult. You. Hunt, GOB!"
"…"
Miaomiao had no issue with that. After all, he was dying to go out and be himself.
The former entity left the cave like how young adults left their parent's house to get a new life.
.
After leaving the abandoned mine, Miaomiao checked his surroundings. He was still under the tall cliff in front of the cave. In front of him was a thick rainforest jungle.
In short, he was alone in a foreign universe with no one to help him anymore. He was on his own.
Miaomiao deeply sighed. He inspected his body condition after one year of cultivation.
Unlike in the previous universe, mana gathered in one's flesh, muscle, and heart. So far, Miaomiao managed to gather enough to make his body adapt to the mana circulation and the environment. However, he wasn't satisfied.
He checked his dantian, which he had created anew to convert and store mana. Currently, it contained a sea of mana, which was comparable to a 4th-stage mortal cultivator.
Although Miaomiao was weak, he managed to create something new that didn't exist in Mu-Nyang's universe – He had four mana circles around his heart, acting as an engine that automatically drew mana in the air to his body.
With the combination of Qi and mana, Miaomiao believed that he would do well as a one-year-old half-goblin.
But first, Miaomiao needed a new source of mana and Qi. This place was too rural, and the Qi was thin.
'Where can I go? I forgot to ask that woman, and my goblin father didn't teach me anything. Meh.'
Miaomiao kicked the ground and attempted to fly in the sky with his Qi. However, he fell to the ground.
BOOM
Miaomiao managed to break the fall. He looked at the cliff and the sky in frustration before he started the second attempt.
WHOOSH
This time, Miaomiao activated his mana circles, draining the mana air around him and creating a magic circle platform under his feet. Then, it lifted him up in the air, becoming his temporary vehicle.
Miaomiao felt like he was playing a surfboard in the sky. It was difficult to balance his body and control the flying magic circle at first. Fortunately, he had a lot of experience in flight, and he managed to adapt in less than a minute.
After getting used to the new flying method, Miaomiao made the magic circle go higher so that he could see the geographical outlook of this planet. When Miaomiao was 20 kilometers in the sky, he gazed at the world.
The tall cliff was a plateau mountain. On top of it, large goblin settlements and a giant black castle stood there. However, they were covered in a red dome as if someone had been using a domain ability.
Secondly, the plateau mountain seemed to be surrounded by forests and jungles. 500 kilometers away from the mountain, human fortresses and long lines of fortress walls surrounded the thick forests. Beyond the walls, human towns, cities, and roads were noticeable.
It appeared that the forest was the only territory of goblins while the rest of the world belonged to humans. The goblin race was at a disadvantage here.
Miaomiao got down and landed on the plateau. He looked at the mountain and contemplated his choices.
'I can't stick around here forever. Swain is going to get strong fast when he grows up. My only advantage is quick adulthood. If I can't expand the lead and kill him before he gets too strong, I'm doomed.'
He sat on the ground and started planning his roadmap. He wrote several lines, plotting ahead.
'The fastest cultivation method I can use is the good-old dual cultivation method. I can simply plunder my partner's mana and life force, but that won't be as effective as the cultivator worlds. If this is a world of swords and sorcery, not every villager can use mana. Therefore, this method is not applicable.'
'Since I can't use the sex method, I can do the evil method or both. Humans are the enemies here, and I'm allowed to kill everybody. I can throw away my mortal integrity and slaughter everybody I see. While I'm at it, I can plunder or steal the humans' life force with my good-old vampiric touch technique. But if I keep doing that, Swain might notice me. The other minor protagonists and Swain's minions will come for me before I can even become a deity. This can be an issue.'
Miaomiao paused and stared at one of the fortresses. He clicked his tongue as he lacked vital information.
'I also don't know the standard strength of humans. I can't just simply raid a fortress and hope to get away with it. What if I run into a freaking immortal or a deity over there? How annoying.'
Miaomiao thought hard about his future plan.
Two hours later, Miaomiao made his decision. He finished his roadmap.
'One step at a time. Within a month, I need to reach the immortal stage. And the key is… THAT.'
Miaomiao stared at one of the fortresses, which extended its farms outside the walls. Miaomiao flew west, heading to the first settlement that he had an eye on.
.
.
After flying 500 kilometers, Miaomiao arrived at the border of the goblin forest. He lurked in the dark and recuperated from a long flight. While resting, Miaomiao dug a burrow and peeked at the farmland of the local humans.
The farms weren't big as they only covered 4 acres. They were all used to grow wheat. At the center of the farmlands, shacks of the local farmers could be seen.
As Miaomiao paid attention, he saw the farmers going in and out of the houses. He counted the number of the villagers.
'Four old men, twelve women, five children, and two adult men. I don't sense Qi or mana from them.'
Miaomiao grinned. He got back to his burrow and patted his chest, calling for his soul-bound weapon.
"Come out, Killer Queen."
The hilt of a black katana came out from Miaomiao's chest. He pulled it, and his trusty blade came out from another dimension in his chest.
The black katana was without a scabbard. The glossy metal and sharp edge were spotless as always.
"Good to see you again, KQ."
The sword talked back, "At least, I get to stick around. Anyway, you look a lot different, Miaomiao."
Miaomiao shrugged. He looked at the reflection of the katana, checking his face.
Indeed, Miaomiao looked a lot different. He had long fangs, light green skin, and sharp ears. Aside from his defined face and short black hair, nothing was noteworthy.
"I was more handsome, right?" Asked Miaomiao.
"Nah, I like the current you. Your green skin looks nice."
Miaomiao looked at his half-naked body. He only wore a leather thong and leather boots, which barely covered anything. Moreover, he had no underwear, so they were dangling freely.
Killer Queen also commented, "But that blasphemous thing of yours is still as ugly as ever. Hell, how come it's even bigger than before?!"
Miaomiao giggled and wiggled it, "You like my new rod?"
"Shut up!"
"Hehehe."
Miaomiao had fun teasing the virgin katana. Still, he couldn't bully her forever. His expression changed, and he informed her of his new job.
"We have people to kill. It will be tasteless and disgusting. Be prepared."
"How tasteless will that be?"
"We're killing innocent people, namely human commoners."
"Oh." Killer Queen sounded disappointed. She lightly snorted, "Is that all?"
"You're not surprised?"
"We've been through worse. Hell, you wiped out cities and killed several million innocent commoners before. Don't pretend to be a saint. You're the most satanic master I've ever had."
"…"
Miaomiao thought of the time he waged war against the Liu Clan. Indeed, he killed many innocent people before. Since there was no problem on KQ's end, Miaomiao proceeded to do his first job.
"Do me a favor, KQ. I need Qi and mana. Don't eat them all."
"Fine. It's not like commoners and fill me. I'll transfer their life force and whatever energy to you."
Miaomiao nodded. Then, he rested and waited until night.
.
.
At midnight, Miaomiao sneaked into the farmer's village. Without a sound, he slipped into a shack and found a family of six, sleeping soundly together.
Although Miaomiao felt bad for them, he made it painless. With just one slice, they passed on without realizing what killed them.
After the first group was beheaded, the life force of the dead humans turned into mana. The black katana absorbed them and passed them to Miaomiao's body.
Miaomiao could feel that his mana got thicker, and his life force was strengthened. However, it was barely enough to advance to the 5-circle mage. He proceeded to the next house.
That night, 23 commoners fell. The entire village perished.
