Chapter 205: More to Bonk
"Is this for real?" Lilith pinched the bridge of her nose while taking a step back. "I have prepared for this, but to think the opponent is far stronger... I don’t know what the cultivation ranks is... But if I need to roughly calculate the gap between us... even with the help of other demon kingdoms, the enemy is not someone that we can fight."
While Lilith was pondering over this matter, Gin continued with the interrogation. "What are the sub realms for these ranks?"
"They are Early, Middle, Late, and Peak Phases."
"So, after you reach Peak Phase, you can break through to the next rank?"
"Yes."
Gin thought for a moment and asked, "In that case, why do you come here? How did you reach this place? And tell me everything you know about this place, including the barrier."
"We came here by using flying swords. Our job is to investigate this place because it’s recorded that a few thousand years ago, someone found this place filled with numerous treasures from medicinal herbs to artifacts.
"The disciples will be allowed to come to this place as the first force to gain some benefits from this continent. After the barrier weakens even further, the elders will gradually come and get everything from the sect.
"As for the barrier, according to our record, there is someone powerful creating a barrier to isolate this place. Normally, it’s impossible to find this place, but because the barrier has become weakened, this place appears again.
"We don’t know much about the information about that person."
Gin listened to Mu Yanxue’s explanation while glancing at Lilith and Albert.
"What do you think about the succubus queen?"
"She seems to have a unique physique that can store Yin. However, I can’t determine the real situation of her physique.
"But if she actually comes to the sect, she will have the shot to become a True Disciple, fighting for the sect master’s position. Her Spiritual Energy is very suitable for cultivation, especially dual cultivation.
"As long as she gets enough supply of Yang Energy, she will be able to get stronger easily. However, I don’t know much about her physique, so I can’t say the name of her physique."
"Hoh?" Gin nodded with a serious expression. "As expected, it must be something like Exquisite Yin Body or Nine Supreme Yin Physique or whatever their naming senses it."
He turned to Lilith and said, "As expected of Your Majesty, your body seems to be a cheat like power. As long as you cultivate it, you can grow stronger exponentially."
"The Lust Kingdom is actually enough for me. Is there even a need to go there and become stronger? As long as I have enough power to protect my kingdom, that’s enough." Lilith shrugged before glancing to Albert. "Though, I can’t say the same to this guy. You want to roam around the world, right? Doesn’t this mean you have another place to visit?"
"That is true, but I need to know more about them first." Albert nodded in agreement.
"Then, how about my teacher... I mean, how about the dog person you saw? What is special about him?"
"His strength is weaker than the woman, but his power is unique. At the same time, he can wield ten elements or even more. By looking at this power alone, I believe he has the body of elements. He can wield all elements and master them.
"His Spiritual Energy is so pure that we thought he came from the Ancient Buddha Sect. And last but not least, he has a powerful intent surging from his body. Intent is one of the most powerful force in the sect. Those who have sword intent will be called a Sword Master and whoever has that title will be respected wherever they go.
"With these qualities, if we bring him to the Five Element Mountain, he might be able to become the patriarch’s successor immediately. The patriarch of the Five Element Mountain will do anything to get him and nurture him."
Mu Yanxue kept explaining everything. This was all her thoughts previously, so she could answer them easily.
Meanwhile, Albert remained calm as he added inwardly, ’That’s not me. Body of elements? For real... That’s just Bonkey doing his job. You’re overestimating me.’
Of course, he couldn’t say anything regarding Bonkey. After all, Bonkey was his partner. There was no way he would expose Bonkey’s existence.
"I see. How long will your people come to this place? How many are they? And are there any other sects joining this?"
"Our Joyful Union Sect found it first, so only four of us came to this place to investigate. The two others seemed to have found human kingdom, so we are left to investigate this area.
"Depending on the force in this place, we’re expected to bring a few hundreds to one thousand disciples with at least a fifty Core Disciples to this place.
"No other sects know about this place yet, so there should be no one other than us coming to this place."
Gin had asked all the necessary questions to confirm his suspicion. He muttered, "It seems the other continent is similar to that of xianxia novel."
"Xianxia? What’s that?" Albert asked while furrowing his eyebrows.
"It’s just cultivation stuff. Basically, you cultivate to get stronger, pursuing immortality."
"Immortality? Does that even exist?"
"In the stories I read, the old monsters can live for millions of years." Gin shrugged. "So, they might exist. For now, their current stage is so low... I’m assuming there is another place with higher strength like immortals or even living Gods."
"They get stronger to reach a level like that?" Albert opened his mouth in surprise while thinking, ’I wonder if I can reach that level just by leveling up? Well, it will be long in the future, so I will hide this thought for now.’
"Yeah." Gin turned back to Mu Yanxue and asked, "What’s the name of other influences that is at your level? And is there any place with higher cultivation?"
"We haven’t found any place like that, but there is a legend that there is a place called starry sky where the Immortals and Gods live. However, no one has ever found the way in the last ten thousand years, so everyone can only hope for reaching that place accidentally.
"As for the influences, there are five influences rivaling our strength. They are Five Elemental Mountain, Heavenly Sword Sect, Ancient Buddha Sect, Kunlun Mountain, and the Divine Kingdom."
"Hmm..." Gin furrowed his eyebrows, thinking about these five influences and their characteristics in the stories he read. But another weird thought flashed in his mind that he couldn’t help but ask, "Are there other continents like this place?"
"We found two continents three thousand years ago. Their strength rivals us, so we can only watch each other and sign a peace treaty. To our west, there is a continent where the human can transform into a metal human. They call it robot, but we don’t know much about it.
"Those robots have so many advantages against us that it’s hard for us to destroy them by ourselves. Using those metal bodies, they defeated us in the past and signed a peace treaty not long after.
"To our east, there is a place similar to this place. But instead of demons, there are only humans... Though, the leader of one party calls himself Heavenly Demon.
"We don’t have much information about them, but there are two parties hating each other in the continent. They are called the Central Murim and Demon Blood Cult."
"Oh wow..." Gin widened his eyes and commented nonchalantly. "Mecha and Manhwa have entered the chat..."
"Mecha, Manhwa? I know something about mecha since it seems to be robot, but what is Manhwa?" Albert asked while furrowing his eyebrows.
"You know about Japanese’s comic, anime, or light novel?" Gin asked.
"A little."
"The comic is called Manga. If it’s Chinese, then it’s called Manhua. As for Korean’s comic, they’re called Manhwa. They own have their specific power system, so damn, are this place Earth or something? Instead of traveling to another world, do we actually come to the past or something?" A smile suddenly appeared on his face as he said, "Damn. I like this world already. With the knowledge I have from Earth, I will strive to become invincible."
"Yeah, whatever." Albert shrugged before stating, "Enough with your daydreaming, we need to discuss a more pressing matter."
"I know." Gin nodded. His expression became serious as he stated, "We want to discuss how to deal with the current invasion. First of all, we need to capture the remaining two spies. If they are not caught, we will face a great invasion.
"Even if we capture them, they surely won’t stop the invasion. It’s true that our main priority is to defend our land.
"But I think we should sneak into their continent to gain more information, especially the Joyful Union Sect. It’s clear that they’re the one aiming for us.
"If we use these two to lead us, we should be able to get in easily. After getting more information, we need to form another group there since I don’t think it’s possible to communicate with this place when we are there...
"We will use that group to stab them from behind, eliminating the invaders easily. This way, we can make us look strong even though we’re actually weak." Gin explained his idea with a serious face as though he had been thinking about this plan.
Obviously, his true intention couldn’t escape Albert as the latter said, "You just want to go there, don’t you?"
Gin was taken aback and stepped back, looking at Albert in horror. "How do you know?"
"It’s written all over your face." Albert rolled his eyes before sighing.
"Though, that’s a good idea." Lilith finally opened her mouth, agreeing with Gin’s plan.
