I Pick up a Lost Godhood

Chapter 449: Chapter 432: The Little Loli’s Great Wisdom

For someone like Wang Meng, who already possessed Godhood and a Life Wheel, only the three great abilities held any real allure. He sought power in its most fundamental form.

Many experts could achieve a simple understanding of the Law of Space. The Dragon Emperor, for instance, clearly had a formidable grasp of it, able to tear through space at will. The Dragon Race used their formidable physiques and raw power to master the Law of Space, but this method was not suitable for humans.

If humans wanted to master the Law of Space, they had to take a more circuitous route. They had to understand it, find its loopholes, and use specific methods to ultimately achieve the desired effect.

The Three Great Laws formed a balance: from space to time, and ultimately culminating in causality.

It seemed Master Wang was fated to be involved with the Taiyin Sect—or more accurately, with the grandfather-granddaughter duo of Mo Chen and Cheng Cheng.

Wang Meng’s body was still spinning, but the rotation seemed to blur at times. Occasionally, space itself would pause for an instant, then jump.

And in that instant, the eyes of Zou Chuang and Xie Tianhua, who had been growing a bit impatient, immediately went wide.

In truth, the Little Witch was conflicted. She was worried that Wang Meng would be harmed by the law, yet she also felt he could overcome it. Caught in this complex tangle of emotions, she was inevitably a little unsettled.

But just then, she noticed the anomaly. The Little Witch’s large eyes also went wide, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. Although her Elemental Power level was insufficient, her Demon Spirit Body made her exceptionally sensitive to such phenomena.

An entire day and night passed like this. Princess Cheng Cheng had gone back to catch up on some sleep. Though perceptive, her Cultivation was too low for her to discern much, and she simply couldn’t stay awake any longer. Besides, sleep deprivation was the greatest enemy of a beautiful complexion.

Zou Chuang and Xie Tianhua, however, had stood there motionlessly for the entire day and night.

About every ancient hour, Wang Meng would exhibit that strange phenomenon a few times.

What astonished Zou Chuang and Xie Tianhua was that it wasn’t an illusion caused by speed, but a genuine jump through space.

Meanwhile, Wang Meng’s eyes were shut tight, completely lost in his focus.

At this time, Mo Chen’s business with the Heaven-Reaching Pill God Sect was going rather smoothly. The sect was being very accommodating. Although the Extreme Essence Pill Mo Chen requested was precious, the Heaven-Reaching Pill God Sect saw a chance to put the Taiyin Sect in their debt while also making a hefty profit. It was an offer they couldn’t refuse, so everything proceeded without a hitch.

On the other hand, Yuu Kunlun had run into trouble. Despite his esteemed status as the Taiyin Sect Leader, he had been refused. The Treasure Artifact Sect Master, Yue Rantian, was actually being quite courteous; had anyone else shown up demanding to borrow one of his treasures, he would have blasted them to dust on the spot.

But Yuu Kunlun could hardly return empty-handed. He naturally applied pressure on Yue Rantian, making it clear he was determined to get what he came for. He also specified that he only wished to borrow the item and would not damage the treasure in any way.

"Brother Yue, I’ve laid my cards on the table. It’s time for you to give me an answer."

Yuu Kunlun was trying politeness before resorting to force. Though the Treasure Artifact Sect was powerful, if the Taiyin Sect decided to go all out, the Treasure Artifact Sect wouldn’t be able to stop them. Yue Rantian was displeased, but he had no desire for mutual destruction.

"Sect Leader Yuu, you certainly know how to put someone in a difficult position. If I were to ask to borrow your Taiyin Wheel, what would you say?"

Yuu Kunlun’s expression remained unchanged. As a Demon Cultivator, he naturally had a strong Demon Attribute. However, since he was the one asking for a favor, Yuu Kunlun restrained himself. Otherwise, the other man wouldn’t have dared to speak to him like that.

"If the Pure Land came to me to borrow the Taiyin Wheel, I would consider it," Yuu Kunlun said.

Yue Rantian froze for a moment, then burst out laughing. The implication was crystal clear. Who could he blame but himself for not being as powerful?

"How about this? It seems Sect Leader Yuu is in a tough spot. My Treasure Artifact Sect has no feud with your Taiyin Sect, past or present. But if I lend out my treasures so easily, my sect will turn into a public shop. You want to borrow my Spirit of Divine Sense? Fine. If you can use it, I’ll lend it to you. Otherwise... heheh."

Yuu Kunlun was overjoyed to hear this. ’As a top-tier expert at the Great Perfection stage, what Magical Artifact could I possibly be unable to use?’

But Yuu Kunlun truly did hit a wall. As he was seen off by a smiling Yue Rantian, he was incredibly frustrated. He had already given his word; he couldn’t go back on it and lose face now.

The Spirit of Divine Sense was completely unmoved by his power. Even a forceful assault with his Heart Spirit had no effect.

The Treasure Artifact Sect’s signature skill was truly remarkable. Yuu Kunlun had no choice but to return to the Taiyin Sect first and figure out another way.

「Three days later.」

Mo Chen and Yuu Kunlun arrived back at the Taiyin Sect, one right after the other. However, their results couldn’t have been more different.

"Senior Brother, we can’t just let this go! Let me go this time. I’ll force that Yue Rantian to tell us how to use it!" Mo Chen said. He had pondered for a long time and could only come up with this as a last resort. But they had already come this far; there was no turning back.

Yuu Kunlun shook his head. "A single move could affect the entire situation. The Ten Thousand Spirits Sect won’t just stand by and watch. We need to think about this more carefully."

"My old life is expendable, but I cannot lead the Taiyin Sect to a point of no return," Zhang Bai said. "The situation is extremely sensitive right now. Forcing the Treasure Artifact Sect’s hand could very well cause the other Sects to unite against us. Junior Brother, your thinking is comprehensive. Rather than a frontal assault, we should try to figure out how to bypass the Spirit of Divine Sense! Under the Star Alliance’s system, it’s not like the old days when everyone fought for themselves. Things have become very complicated. One wrong move, and the Taiyin Sect, as powerful as it seems, could be carved up by others."

The Pure Land was like an Immortal Realm. Flowers bloomed everywhere, and beautiful, unknown creatures flew through the air. A rainbow hung in the not-so-distant sky. A barefoot girl was picking flowers on the grass, an unfinished wreath in her hands.

A fiery-red Little Fatty with three stylish tufts of flame on its head followed behind the girl.

"Sanmao, I want that red one. The big one," the girl said.

Sanmao lazily shuffled its butt. Ever since coming here, with all the good food and drink, Sanmao’s laziness had reached its peak. For every step it took, it seemed to roll twice, making the girl giggle.

Just then, a patch of the sky began to shimmer. The girl stopped, while Sanmao instantly became alert. Space tore open, and a girl as cold as ice and frost emerged.

’Why are there so many beautiful women here?’ Sanmao thought, feeling speechless. ’Every one of them is the type that could topple nations. If Master were here, he’d be absolutely thrilled.’

"Sister Linglong!" the young girl chirped happily.

The Dragon Maiden’s icy expression melted the moment she saw the young girl, breaking into a smile that Master Wang had never seen before.

By now, Master Wang had been in the Qiankun Inverted Space for seven days. Zou Chuang and Xie Tianhua had accompanied him for all seven. Zou Chuang was fine, still full of vigor. The Tiger Crown Prince hadn’t closed his eyes for seven days and seven nights, yet he maintained his terrifying willpower. This was what made Zou Chuang so formidable. His Silent Extinction White Tiger Body was a type that possessed an extremely heavy killing intent, and his eyes revealed an incredible patience. He once hunted a target two cultivation levels higher than himself, lying in wait for an entire month without moving just for the right opportunity.

Xie Tianhua, however, was already sitting cross-legged and cultivating. The strain was becoming a bit too much for him.

Both of them had benefited greatly. Different people could watch the same thing and come to different understandings, but there was no doubt that Wang Meng was demonstrating the Power of Laws. Although it was subtle, it was of the highest level.

Cheng Cheng would come to watch from time to time, but the display was a bit too profound for her. Little Cheng wasn’t worried in the slightest, though. Mo Chen had also paid a visit, but seeing the state of the three, he left without disturbing them. Of course, he didn’t forget to shower Little Cheng with praise.

The little girl was already showing great wisdom, possessing a keen sense of the bigger picture at such a young age. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
