Chapter 710 – Road from Immortal Sage to Seraphim Sage
Without Eve, Miaomiao's lane became stale. He slaughtered all minions from the Heavenly Dao's faction while his manhood was busy converting a minion from his side.
Strangely, every minion from the spawners had the same lifespan as an immortal. Xiaomao heartlessly devoured all their lifespan by dual-cultivation and parted them with his excess Yang Qi.
At first, Miaomiao only copulated with one of them at a time. But another anomaly occurred after a converted minion without a lifespan died.
A strand of karma appeared and whizzed into Miaomiao's dantian. Then, an egg manifested from that strand of karma and landed on the dryad planet.
The egg rapidly consumed Miaomiao's Providence Qi on the planet. With just a wisp of Providence Qi, the shell cracks, and a new being was born.
The creature turned out to be a regular white kitten with white feather wings. She opened her innocent eyes and looked around, confused.
'A cat?'
As Miaomiao had a weak heart for cats, he sent his order to the local dryad to take care of the kitten.
A local dryad in the world picked the cat up and nurtured her. She converted her Qi and created natural cat milk by using her breast as a medium.
The kitten's nose reacted to the scent of milk. She waved her front paw, trying to get closer to the dryad's nipple. The woman let the kitten drink her milk and smiled.
Miaomiao observed their interaction and scanned the cat. Then, he discovered an unbelievable secret.
The normal-looking kitten was an immortal from birth! That was not a normal cat but an immortal cat with a dantian and a stellar star!
'What the hell is this cultivation method?! What is this ritual?!'
It didn't take long for Mu-Nyang to answer his question.
'It's the original cultivation method of creators, munya. You need to absorb life force from a foreign universe and transfer them to your universe, munya.'
Miaomiao's expression turned dark.
"Isn't that thievery?"
'It's the survival of the fittest, munya. Isn't the mortal's way of life the same? You domesticate weaker species as livestock and food. What we're doing is practically the same, munya.'
"So, we steal lifespan from creatures from other universes and took the victims' souls to our dantian universe – Is that what you're implying?"
'Yes, munya.'
"But how were their souls were born? I don't see a wisp of their soul in the minions."
'It's the karma knot, munya. Even if those minions don't have a soul, you can still create a soul by forming karma with them one way or another, munya. You copulated with them to teach them a sense of being alive and give them your power – That's one positive karma knot. You stole their lifespan – That's a negative karma knot. When that soulless being died, regardless of a natural cause or by an intervention of any third party, that soulless being's remnant energy and memory will latch onto the remaining karma it has and follow the flow to your dantian universe along with that karma knot. And because of the combination of good deeds and bad deeds that you had done to the soulless being, an imperfect lifeform will be created to fulfill the circle of karma inside you, munya. Until all the karmas are cleansed, their imperfect souls shall yearn for perfection, munya. That's how a mortal in the primordial era prospered by striving for perfection, munya!'
Listening to the lecture, something in Miaomiao's brain exploded. He slightly dropped his jaw.
"What does that has to do with my cultivation breakthrough?"
'To advance to the next realm, you must create original lifeforms in your dantian universe by forming both positive and negative karma with them, munya. The Seraphim Sage Method is not a regular deity realm, but it is on par with the Great Dao Sage Realm, munya! Before you reach that stage, you must create a new universe that rivals the Chaos Realm and Primordial Chaos Realm inside you, including the population, munya!'
"Why not just positive karma? Why must we add the negative karma?"
'Stagnant water tends to rot, munya. If you cultivate only positive karma, your lifeform will not seek improvement, and they will soon perish because of their conceit and ignorance, munya. Vice versa, pure negative karma is no good either since they will self-destruct because of their desire and selfishness, munya. That's why you need to mix them and make them imperfect from the beginning!'
Something in Miaomiao's mind exploded. His mind began seeing exploding stars and galaxies.
'I see that you reach your brain capacity, munya. That's enough lecture for now. I have so many people to lecture, munya!'
Mu-Nyang cut the communication. It seemed that he was busy chatting with other representatives or doing something in the background.
Inspired by Mu-Nyang, Miaomiao caught the entire wave of six minions from his side. Then, he transformed his genital into six tentacles and violated them.
Because of his interception, only a cannon attacked the tower, and it was soon destroyed by rockets.
While Miaomiao was quick-shooting the minions, the converted catopuses that Miaomiao had absorbed their lifespans were killed as well. Their karma strands entered Miaomiao's dantian and turned into eggs like the predecessor, and those eggs hatched into immortal kittens.
Unfortunately, Miaomiao had no time to enjoy the cultivation technique. Ma Moxi's voice transmission interrupted him.
'Focus, Miaomiao. You're lacking behind.'
Miaomiao got back to his senses. He inspected everybody's level. Ma Moxi reached level 9 while his other teammates got to level 8, including Xie Tian. As for Miaomiao, he had just leveled up to 9, and it would take a while to reach level 10.
WHOOSH
While Miaomiao was inspecting everybody's progress, Ma Moxi killed Hades and reached level 10.
Seeing how a jungler's level surpassed a solo laner, Miaomiao was embarrassed.
"Fine. I'll get serious."
'Mu-Nyang wants to end this game ASAP. Push the tower and join the group fight. We'll siege them whenever we can!'
"Alright."
Miaomiao grinned, but he continued to absorb all the minions' lifespan. In ten seconds, they transformed into small catopuses, and Miaomiao let them go.
The soulless cats soon attacked the tower and died. However, they were reborn into Miaomiao's dantian as kittens in the next second.
Miaomiao snorted and stopped time. Then, he approached the tower to check if it was still functioning in the time domain.
Unfortunately, it still fired rockets at the nearby minions. It didn't work.
Without a choice, Miaomiao accelerated his time to strengthen his perception and speed. As soon as the turret fired another rocket at another catopus, he slashed the turret two thousand times.
By the time the turret's rocket hit the target and killed a catopus, the turret's HP reached zero.
<Enemy turret destroyed!>
<Minions have been strengthened!>
Miaomiao snorted as he learned a new trick. He rushed forward and led the charge, diving into another enemy wave.
A minute later, the second turret was destroyed after Miaomiao had pushed the wave into the tower.
<Enemy turret destroyed!>
<Minions have been strengthened!>
With two turrets gone, his lane's minions got stronger again.
Miaomiao was done here. He created a pond of black goo and sank into it. The next moment, he reappeared on the bridge in the middle lane.
As soon as Miaomiao reappeared, Meng Xin turned around and frowned as he recognized Mike's signature ability.
"Shadow teleportation?"
Miaomiao coughed, "Yes. It's handy."
"How did you learn that?"
"… Mu-Nyang."
"Tsk."
Meng Xin rolled his eyes and inwardly cursed Miaomiao for being pampered by a super god.
WHOOSH
At the same time that Miaomiao emerged from the dark goo, Xie Tian regrouped with them. The latter had also destroyed two towers and was now ready to push the center.
"Let's go," Xie Tian was eager to end this game.
Miaomiao and others rechecked their gold coins. Currently, Miaomiao had a bit over 2,500 gold coins after soloing the lane and destroying both towers. He also had a bounty of 300 gold.
'Meh, I'll destroy an inhibitor and retreat later. No biggy.'
Miaomiao ignored the basics and followed the gang to the second tower of the mid-lane.
There, three members of Heavenly Dao gathered. Sun Crow, All-Heaven Sage, and Xiang Yu had been fending off four fighters from the player faction.
"Get that swordsman first!"
Sun Crow turned the nearby jungle into a sea of flame while All-Heaven Sage focus-fired at Master Yeet.
Master Yeet retreated behind his friends. Ke Lin Ji took the role of a rearguard while Blowmaster and Marcus slowly retreated. Everybody's HP bar was in a critical state after the brief fight against the three experts.
As soon as Miaomiao's team arrived, Xie Tian made the first move. He unleashed the power of Chrono Soul Domain, freezing everybody's movements and perception.
However, the turret could still fire rockets. It fired a projectile toward Xie Tian!
Xie Tian suddenly splitted into 10. The rocket hit one of his clones, and the clone vanished. Another rocket came out and pursued another clone of Xie Tian.
Xiang Yu and Sun Crow couldn't move under this domain as they never comprehended the power of time. They only glared at Xie Tian with hatred. However, the sage could move in this domain.
All-Heaven Sage waved his hand, creating a massive Dao Avatar of a giant saber. It slashed down, aiming at Meng Xin, who couldn't move.
Miaomiao jumped up and charged toward the saber avatar. He swung Killer Queen and sliced through the illusion.
The Dao Avatar was destroyed, and its energy was instantly eaten by the glutton sword. All-Heaven-Sage spat blood and took a couple steps backward. Miaomiao also suffered from the collision's backlash, and his right arm exploded because of All-Heaven Sage's Destruction Element Essence.
At that moment, Xie Tian's saber found All-Heaven Sage's chest. Xie Tian cleaved diagonally, severing the sage into two.
Unfortunately, the sage's body turned into a grey mist. The gas entered one of Xie Tian's clones and took over his body.
BOOM
The clone exploded, and All-Heaven Sage reemerged.
SWUA
SWUA
While Xie Tian and All-Heaven Sage got caught up in a dogfight, Miaomiao switched targets and rushed toward Xiang Yu and Sun Crow, who couldn't move due to the time domain.
Miaomiao glared into a rooster-sized featherless crow's eyes as he could still remember how Ju Shoufen, Jia Wenhe, and his children were killed.
"Remember me, bitch?"
Sun Crow couldn't utter a word. He could only move his eyes and glanced at Miaomiao.
"I'm wondering if I can steal your lifespan here. How about I experiment it on you!"
"!!!"
Miaomiao choke Sun Crow's neck with his left hand. Then, his right arm regenerated and stabbed the crow's chest with it. Using his understanding of how lifespan and life force worked, Miaomiao forcefully absorbed all sealed stars in Sun Crow's dantian universe.
'Since I have to walk the dog-eat-dog path anyway, you will be my first victim! Be my food!'
Stars, Suns, and planets kept flowing in between dimensions and entered Miaomiao's dantian. The crow could only widen his eyes and stared at Miaomiao in disbelief, shock, and despair.
DING
<Warning! Error!>
As Miaomiao did something that the game system didn't support, notification panels appeared around him and warned him about errors. However, Miaomiao ignored it and continued stealing Sun Crow's power to the last drop.
BOOM
While Miaomiao was at it, Xie Tian's last clone was destroyed by the turret.
"Master! Retreat!" Xie Tian shouted while he chased after All-Heaven Sage into Heavenly Dao's jungle.
Miaomiao looked up and noticed that the tower was reloading a new rocket. The next one would come out soon, and he was the only one in its attack range.
"Hmm!"
Miaomiao dragged Sun Crow with him, and he also beheaded Xiang Yu while the latter couldn't move. He gained another kill, and the murderer of his wife was still in his hand.
DING
Unfortunately, he couldn't leave the tower's range on time. The bell sound warned Miaomiao that the rocket was fired, and he was the target.
Miaomiao turned around and threw Sun Crow toward the rocket!
BOOM
The rocket hit the featherless bird and exploded. The blast radius and shockwave reached Miaomiao and burnt all his skin and hair again.
Miaomiao clicked his tongue and sank into a pond of crude oil under his feet. He teleported back to base.
After Miaomiao and Xie Tian were gone, both Clem and Meng Xin could move again. The duo looked at each other in dismay.
"If those time stoppers want all the kills? What are we here for?"
"Who knows? Cleaning up the aftermath, maybe?" Clem shrugged.
"Oh, well. Let's destroy that thing and push the wave."
.
Chaos Realm Base
Miaomiao got back to the fountain with wounds and burnt skin. He sat there and let out a sigh.
"Having fun?"
Hearing the mocking voice of Devil, Miaomiao looked up.
"Yeah, I almost died again. It's so much fun that I want to dive that tower 25 million times to feel alive," Miaomiao mocked Devil back.
"Cool. It's good that you take care of your life. Had this been a normal game, you would have died 10 times already. You would have become one of those Yasuo players that scaled at 0-10."
"No distraction, please. I need to focus."
Miaomiao lay on his back and operated his shop menu. He purchased a legendary gear, which increased his attack speed further.
