Chapter 273: Realization
"Master. I think the domain has started shifting." Mu Yanxue reported after looking at the area.
Albert nodded in agreement. "I can see that the Spiritual Energy is moving in the same direction, as if guiding us to go there."
"I assume that the requirement have been completed. Not that we know what the requirement is." Mu Yanxue explained her views.
"Fair enough. It’s just there’s something I want to know..."
"And that is?"
"This place is so vast. I’m wondering what is stored in the end."
"Isn’t it the Indecent Stage Cultivator? I mean, Transcendent." Mu Yanxue corrected herself as she’d gotten used to her lewd cultivation stages.
"No, no. Since we’re getting into this ruin from one entrance, are we getting transported at the edge of the realm with a circular shape or more like the edge at a box? If it’s the former, the people will gather in the center at one point and there won’t be too many challenges, meaning we can’t get more people.
"But if it’s the latter, I don’t know how we can meet them. We don’t even know the exact location. That’s why I believe that the end is where people gathers. And I have to know about it to see if I can take advantage of it to complete my mission." Albert explained his views because he had to kill more cultivators from the Joyful Union Sect.
Mu Yanxue fell silent. She was staring at Albert while thinking, ’Now that I think about it, Master is so adamant in killing the Joyful Union Sect. Although it’s true that the Joyful Union Sect is trying to harm Master’s homeland, but there’s also the fact that he can breakthrough after killing so many disciples.
’Is he a Demonic Cultivator who uses blood and people’s lives to increase his cultivation? But his Spiritual Energy is so pure that I don’t think that’s the case. Then, how did Master break through?’
On the one hand, Mu Yanxue was happy that Albert got stronger. On the other hand, she didn’t wish for Albert to become a Demonic Cultivator that was hated by people. Though, she would still follow him even if it cost her her life.
"Still, we have been using the token to gather the people, so I’m thinking about switching the approach." Mu Yanxue looked at Albert. "How about using the Yin Yang Bell to gather them? People will think that the one who possess the Yin Yang Bell is the young master of the Joyful Union Sect, but when they realize you are the holder, they will hunt you down."
"That’s true, but will all of them come? What if they report it?"
"But isn’t that the situation you want?"
"Not exactly correct, but that’s the general idea. I want their Elders to chase me, but I don’t know if I have enough strength to resist them yet. It’s true that my bonk is very effective, but the power difference is still too much." Albert sighed.
"I can see that Master has broken through one sub-realm after killing so many people..." Mu Yanxue looked at Albert weirdly.
Gin had mentioned something similar about the Demonic Cultivator that used people’s lives, flesh, blood, or even soul to cultivate. So, Albert told her, "No worries. The bat is absorbing the Spiritual Energy and separate the Pure and the Lust Energy. My body absorb the Pure Energy."
"So, that’s how it is." Mu Yanxue nodded in understanding. "That’s why bonk is effective against the Joyful Union Sect’s people. Whether it’s their attack or their bodies, their energy will be absorbed because the Lust Energy!"
Mu Yanxue could see how the bat worked. Albert’s power was truly unique. It might not be as effective to others. In fact, people would think him foolish because he should use something sharp to kill others. But this bat was actually the perfect embodiment of his power. With such a blunt weapon, there was a huge area of contact that could absorb the lust.
And Albert originally didn’t want to kill people unnecessarily. The only reason he killed the Joyful Union Sect was his homeland. After all, Albert’s wife was the Lust Kingdom’s queen, Lilith. If he wanted to kill people with the lust like the Joyful Union Sect, Lilith and her kingdom wouldn’t be spared either.
In other words, the bonk’s true intention was to absorb the lust so that people could walk in the right path. He didn’t kill them because he didn’t want to stop people from populating the world as well. Hence, the bonk is the perfect power to handle sexual desire.
"I see. In that case, we should see the second mission first to know what we’ll use in order to gather more disciples." After understanding how the bonk worked, Mu Yanxue immediately suggested.
"That’s true I guess." Albert agreed and started looking at the Spiritual Energy, planning to follow it. "Let’s go, shall we?"
Mu Yanxue nodded with a smile.
They then ran on the ground while following the movement of the Spiritual Energy. Since it would be if they stood out, they stayed on the ground instead of flying.
Some cultivators even passed them, not noticing they were on the ground.
However, looking at how people had the same thought meant they had gone the right way. They simply needed to know what would happen in this second challenge.
Albert also noticed the small detail such as the fact that the Spiritual Energy moved in the moon’s direction as if the moon itself was right at the center of the ancient realm.
However, the great change soon happened. The Spiritual Energy suddenly became violent as if they were trying to crush everyone in it.
"!!!" Albert narrowed his eyes as he also felt this power. "What’s wrong with this?"
Mu Yanxue gritted her teeth because her body was going to be crushed.
Albert and Mu Yanxue seemed to understand each other as they made a barrier from the Spiritual Energy to stop this pressure and think about the situation.
However, Mu Yanxue’s barrier was shattered in pieces while Albert’s barrier kept standing as if it could repel the Spiritual Energy.
"Hmm?" Albert and Mu Yanxue were stunned as they thought about the same thing.
"Although my power is not comparable to you, it’s clear that our gap is not that far. So, the barrier should be..." Mu Yanxue furrowed her eyebrows.
"Intact." Albert nodded in agreement, finishing her sentence.
But the doubt was soon answered in their minds as Mu Yanxue said while making a weird expression. "Don’t tell me, the guy, who created the Ancient Ruin, is someone from the Joyful Union Sect?"
