106 Another Year's December

As days passed, Meng Chuan continued practicing his saber at Thousand Sabers Cavern every morning. Liu Qiyue also increased her cultivation time in the Earth Fire Lava Pond.

In the afternoon, Meng Chuan painted while Liu Qiyue watched from the side, and learned some calligraphy.

To Qiyue, painting was too difficult. She had an easier time with calligraphy. Every time the two raised their heads, they would smile when their gazes met.

Afterward, they would spar each other on Bright Scenic Peak. One moment, Liu Qiyue would be shooting arrows while Meng Chuan blocked them. The next moment, Meng Chuan was chasing after Liu Qiyue, who fled in panic.

The two no longer hid their relationship.

At the Dao Exchanges and Grotto-Heaven Pavilion lectures, the couple showed their intimacy. Many male Godfiends—who wanted to pursue Liu Qiyue—could only sigh helplessly.

When he heard Mountain Lord’s introduction, he sighed inwardly. Last year, there were 15,271 Godfiends. In just a short year, 12 Archean Mountain Godfiends have died?

Including ordinary Godfiends, there were even more Godfiends who had died in the Great Zhou Dynasty—around sixty. In the entire world, roughly 200 Godfiends died a year. Most Godfiends died on the battlefield or died from severe injuries back in their hometowns. There were very few Godfiends who could live out their whole lifespan due to the never-ending battle with the demons.

The loss of so many Godfiends made it easy to imagine how intense the war against demons across the world was.

Humans were still able to maintain their prosperity. Many people in cities could drink and enjoy themselves and sustain their population because Godfiends—as well as mortal soldiers who had reached the Marrow Cleansing realm—constantly fought the demons. This forced demons—who infiltrated the human world— to either hide or flee after they carried out a slaughter!

I want to finish my cultivation quickly, leave the mountain, and kill demons. Meng Chuan sighed.



The same night.

The water temperature was rising. Meng Chuan still endured the pain. He used the pain to temper his will.

It was the last day.

“It’s really not easy to complete the Eighth Refinement,” said Liu Qiyue. “The last time Archean Mountain had anyone cultivate the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body to the Eighth Refinement was 83 years ago. The last one to reach the Ninth Refinement was over 200 years ago. Ah Chuan, you have already mastered the Eighth Refinement. Furthermore, you still have a chance of reaching the Ninth Refinement.”

“The Ninth Refinement won’t be easy,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. “Let’s eat the porridge.”

“To celebrate your success with the Eighth Refinement today, I also prepared a few more dishes,” Liu Qiyue said in a mysterious manner.

The duo arrived in the dining hall. The table was indeed filled with a sumptuous spread.

The two sat down and ate.

Although Meng Chuan seemed to be eating happily, he actually recalled several matters.

“What’s wrong? What are you thinking about?” Liu Qiyue asked.

“Just now, you mentioned the Archean Mountain seniors—who had completed the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body’s Eighth and Ninth Refinement—were from 83 years ago and over 200 years ago respectively,” Meng Chuan said softly. “When I chose this Godfiend body, I carefully studied its history. The senior brother from 83 years ago was called Gao Cong, and he became a Great Solar Godfiend. The one from 200 years ago ended up as a Marquis Godfiend.”

“I know. It’s Marquis Sea Return,” said Liu Qiyue immediately.

Meng Chuan nodded. “Do you know how Marquis Sea Return died?”
