Chapter 282: Chapter 281: Establishing an Immortal Dynasty
Translator: 549690339
Yu Feng had only heard of his second senior brother from his senior sister Wu Lian, he had never met him before.
Today was the first time they met.
His second senior brother had a sinister look on his face. He never seemed to hide the fact that he was a treacherous villain, but rather took pride in it.
“Did you actually reach the God-transformation stage?” questioned elder sister Wu Lian, surprised that the second senior brother reached this stage.
The second senior brother had fled from their sect over a decade ago. Transitioning from the late Golden Core Stage to the God-transformation stage, it was undeniable that the devouring technique played a crucial role. It was unknown how many people he had killed, but he had devoured them, using them to increase his cultivation.
If it weren’t for Daoist Tongchen’s hidden injuries hindering him, preventing him from breaking through realms, then he would have long been on a killing spree.
“If possible, I’d rather you call me second Junior Brother,” with a smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, second senior brother Ma Pingfan landed.
“What a pity, I only consider little Feng as my junior brother,” elder sister Wu Lian retorted coldly.
“Is this the new disciple Master has taken?” Ma Pingfan looked at Yu Feng, sneered, “Just reached the Golden Core Stage, nothing special. Seems like Master has really fallen on hard times.”
“Where is Master? I must make sure to thank him for the devouring technique he passed on to me,” Ma Pingfan mentioned his gratitude, but in reality, he meant to rub it in the face of Daoist Tongchen.
Look, you gave me the devouring technique. You’re still at the Nascent Soul Stage, while I’m already at the God-transformation stage.
“Over there.” Elder sister Wu Lian pointed to chunks of flesh on the ground, which Yu Feng had crushed with the spiritual energy chain.
“Regardless, Feng is not Master’s new disciple, but rather his fourth disciple.”
After Ma Pingfan left, Daoist Tongchen accepted their third senior brother as his disciple.
“What happened?” Ma Pingfan looked slightly surprised, he could tell there had been a fierce battle here, but he couldn’t figure out the specifics.
Yu Feng explained: “Fifth Senior Brother was a sleeper agent sent by Black Mountain Monarch. The fifth senior brother poisoned the third and fourth senior brothers, then Black Mountain Monarch and Golden Monk teamed up to attack the sect. Our master, unfortunately, perished together with them.”
Elder sister Wu Lian hadn’t expected Yu Feng to put it like that. Then, she realized that little Feng didn’t want to reveal his true power.
Following the calamity of the previous night, elder sister’s Wu Lian’s own strength and state of mind had improved greatly. Now, she had come to realize that this world was full of intrigues and plots.
This is precisely the result Yu Feng wanted. He desired for his senior sister’s strength and state of mind to match, and for her not to be so naive anymore. Otherwise, he could have given her the cultivation technique “Pregenerated Creation” a long time ago, why wait until last night?
Ma Pingfan laughed, saying insincerely, “That’s a pity.”
Then his face suddenly changed, he waved his hand, and sent Yu Feng flying a great distance. Yu Feng took out three trees before he finally came to a stop.
“I’m talking to Wu Lian, since when did you have the right to interject?”
“Little Feng!” Wu Lian immediately rushed over, helped Yu Feng get up and glared at Ma Pingfan.
“What are you really here for?”
“Didn’t I already tell you? The Heavenly Monarch is building a celestial dynasty, all cultivators must become citizens of the celestial dynasty. Those who defy the order will be executed,” Ma Pingfan gave a faint smile, “Otherwise, do you think I didn’t kill our little junior brother.”
“Every cultivator shall be a citizen of the celestial dynasty. They are valuable resources and it would be a pity to kill them.”
“As a dispatcher, my duty is to help the Heavenly Monarch find cultivators, gather them together and build the celestial dynasty.”
To himself, Yu Feng thought that this was a real disaster. When you’re weaker than others, your life can be easily manipulated. He recalled Senior Jiang saying that it wouldn’t be like this in the Nine Province World, he envied that.
“Who exactly is this Heavenly Monarch?”
“With your level of understanding, you’d definitely believe that there are only two practitioners of the Body Integration Realm in Tonggu Continent,” Ma Pingfan looked at Wu Lian and Yu Feng, as if looking at two poor relatives who had little knowledge.
“In reality, there are six cultivators in the Body Integration Realm and one in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage in Tonggu Continent, and this Transcendance Tribulation stage practitioner is the Heavenly Monarch.”
“Six?” Yu Feng heard from Jiang Li that there were eight, it seems that two practitioners of the Body Integration realm had hidden themselves.
“Why does the Heavenly Monarch want to establish the celestial dynasty?”
Ma Pingfan didn’t hold back and shared his knowledge with them: “Three years ago, Blood River Ancestor and Elder Poison had a big battle in the universe that affected the innocent and caused serious damage. The Heavenly Monarch is benevolent, he wants to unify the cultivation forces and establish a celestial dynasty to maintain order, reduce conflicts, and dissolve hostilities.”
In his heart Yu Feng thought, no wonder that after reincarnating tens of thousands of times, he had never heard of the second senior brother, or of any celestial dynasty. It turns out that the root cause lies within him.
Ma Pingfan didn’t lie, he didn’t even bother to lie about such things.
But Jiang Li knew, this wasn’t the real thoughts of the practitioner at the Transcendance Tribulation stage.
The Transcendance Tribulation stage practitioner, known as the Heavenly Monarch, is worried about the deadlock fight among the Body Integration stage practitioners. They may break through the death tribulation and become Transcendance Tribulation stage practitioners, affecting his rule.
So he simply gathered all those who could possibly reach the Transcendance Tribulation stage, and placed them under his direct scrutiny.
The cultivators at the Body Integration realm must not know how to break through to the Transcendance Tribulation stage, otherwise, they would never be able to break through into the Transcendance Tribulation stage in their whole life.
The secret of breaking through to the Transcendance Tribulation stage belongs to the Heavenly Machine, and cannot be disclosed to others.
Disclosing the Heavenly Machine would obstruct the path of a cultivator, which would lead to a divine thunderbolt that would turn the traitor into ashes. The Heavenly Monarch certainly didn’t want to die for such a reason.
Plus, once the celestial dynasty is established, it can help to build the national fortune, which can benefit oneself. The extent of the aid is equivalent to having the combat power of a Transcendance Tribulation stage practitioner.
In this way, the Heavenly Monarch’s power would be equivalent to two practitioners at the Transcendance Tribulation stage, and no one would be able to challenge his rule.
Jiang Li only told Yu Feng about the Heavenly Monarch hoping to combine the national fortune, but didn’t tell him the previous reason.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to the celestial dynasty.” Ma Pingfan waved his hand and brought in a flying boat from the horizon, filled with cultivators.
All these were part of Ma Pingfan’s achievements.
The more cultivators one can bring back with higher levels, the greater the merits. After the celestial dynasty is established, the Heavenly Monarch will reward those based on their merits.
Yu Feng and elder sister Wu Lian boarded the flying boat.
Ma Pingfan ordered the operator of the flying boat to head back to the celestial dynasty while he continued his search for cultivators.
Who would have expected that just as he turned to leave, there was an explosion behind him. Startled, he looked back and found that his flying boat had collided with another one. It was falling and if neglected, everyone onboard both boats would die.
There was chaos on the flying boat, only Yu Feng remained expressionless.
He was used to it.
Seeing how little junior brother was, elder sister Wu Lian thought that his cultivation technique for turning ill luck into good fortune must be taking effect. They’d surely be safe, so she also calmed down.
Ma Pingfan cursed under his breath and hoisted up the flying boat.
The other flying boat was also flying to the celestial dynasty, with another practitioner of the God-transformation stage.
The practitioner in the God-transformation stage surprisingly didn’t express any anger. Instead, he kindly said, “Ma Pingfan, let me help you take them back.”
Ma Pingfan knew there was no such thing as a good-hearted person. The other guy wanted to take advantage of the merits of this boat for himself.
Worried that the people on this boat might be taken away, Ma Pingfan had no choice but to carry the flying boat back to the celestial dynasty.
Ma Pingfan felt it was his bad luck. Ever since he started his journey, there had been constant trouble.
Whenever there was someone who practiced too hard and became possessed, the flying boat would almost explode. Or a poison cultivator would accidentally break a poison jar and almost poison the whole boat. Or some practitioner at the God-transformation stage would drunk fly and hit him resulting in the flying boat nearly crashing.
“What’s the matter?” Ma Pingfan felt he had never been so unlucky in the past.
Finally, all reached the celestial dynasty without any major mishap.
