Chapter 70: Reaching Archean City


Meng Chuan and his father also saw the representatives of the G.o.dfiend family clans.


“Meng Chuan, you are the pride of our Eastcalm Prefecture. We will be waiting for your good news here in Eastcalm Prefecture.” Yun Fucheng smiled as he looked at Meng Chuan. “Once you become a G.o.dfiend, kill a few more demon monarchs.”


“Definitely.” Meng Chuan nodded.


“Back then, I injured my dantian at Qinyang Pa.s.s, destroying my hopes of becoming a G.o.dfiend. However, I’m still happy to see new G.o.dfiends from Eastcalm Prefecture appear.” Yun Fucheng smiled. He was genuinely happy.


Meng Chuan nodded slightly. He knew quite a bit about the accomplishments of the Yun family clan leader, Yun Fucheng, and was rather impressed.


“It’s still early for Chuan’er to become a G.o.dfiend. He still has to pa.s.s the Archean Mountain entrance examination,” Meng Dajiang said humbly.


Yun Fucheng shook his head and said, “He killed a demon commander with a single strike. He’s only 18 years old now. How can he not enter Archean Mountain with such abilities? Brother Dajiang, I really envy you for having such a powerful son.”


“I’m also very impressed by your teachings, Brother Meng.” Yun Fu’an finally said something. His posture was even a little sycophantic.


“I know you guys are busy, so we won’t disturb you any further. You don’t have to send us out.” Yun Fucheng smiled as he led Yun Fu’an away.


Meng Dajiang and Meng Chuan watched the two of them leave.


“The Three Heroes of the Yun Family are indeed extraordinary. Yun Fu’an is just an expendable person,” said Meng Dajiang. “Your grandaunt also said that the Yun family’s patriarch has indeed done great in protecting Eastcalm Prefecture! He had desperately fought against the demon monarchs in the beginning, preventing them from harming your grandaunt. Only when the Yun family’s patriarch collapsed did those demon monarchs have a chance of harming her. It made the situation take a turn for the worse. With this alone, there’s no need to be petty with the Yun family. This is also what your grandaunt wants.”


“Dad,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. “You look down on me. From the beginning, I’ve never paid much attention to them. What I care about is being able to enter Archean Mountain and cultivating to the G.o.dfiend realm.”


Meng Dajiang looked at his son and felt very gratified. Nianyun, our child is outstanding, really outstanding.



Night fell.


Jadesun Palace was very lively. Quite a number of people were gathered there, all of them were here to send off Meng Chuan, Liu Qiyue, and Yan Jin.


“Meng Chuan.” Dean Ge Yu from Mirror Lake Dao Academy was thrilled. “Be well prepared after heading to Archean City. Pa.s.s the test in December and enter Archean Mountain!”


“I will definitely work hard, Dean,” said Meng Chuan.


“To think that I, Ge Yu, was able to teach an Archean Mountain G.o.dfiend. Haha, that’s enough for me to toot about for the rest of my life.” Ge Yu laughed.


Zhong Qianhe from Blazing Sun Dao Academy laughed and said, “Old Ge, how much of Meng Chuan’s capabilities were imparted by you? Are you shameless enough to boast about it?”


“Why not? I taught him the Falling Leaf Saber in many one-on-one sessions!” Ge Yu glared at him. “Brother Dajiang got me to teach him the swift saber because I’m good at the swift saber. I’m inferior to Meng Chuan now, but my greatest pride is having my disciple be stronger than me! I’m happy that my disciple can surpa.s.s me.”


“That’s a good mindset.” Zhong Qianhe nodded in praise. “Your disciple is stronger than us.”


“Dean, we’ll be leaving now.” Liu Qiyue also bade Zhong Qianhe farewell.


“Go ahead,” said Dean Zhong and smiled at his protégé. He was extremely pleased to be able to teach a G.o.dfiend with a Phoenix Divine Body.


After bidding farewell to Dean Ge Yu, Meng Chuan walked towards the G.o.dfiends.


A few G.o.dfiends stood together. One of them was Marquis Southcloud, while the other was a long-browed elder from Archean Mountain. There were also Jadesun Palace Lord and Fairy Meng standing to the side.


“It’s about time to leave.” The long-browed elder nodded slightly.


Fairy Meng turned her head to look at the approaching Meng Chuan and instructed, “Meng Chuan, settle down in peace when you reach Archean City. Ignore everything else. Just focus on your cultivation and prepare for this year’s Archean Mountain entrance examination in December.”


“Don’t worry, Grandaunt,” Meng Chuan said respectfully.


“I will be in Eastcalm Prefecture. I’ll wait for your good news at the ancestral mansion.” Fairy Meng looked at him hopefully.


“Let’s go.” The long-browed elder urged from afar.


There was a ma.s.sive, black bird. Even when it landed on the ground and retracted its wings, it occupied about a hundred feet. The white-robed Yan Jin was already sitting on the bird and carried a backpack.


“Let’s go.” Liu Yebai and Liu Qiyue got on the back of the bird.


“We’ll be going as well.” Meng Dajiang and Meng Chuan jumped up as well. The bird’s back was several hundred feet long, and there was plenty of s.p.a.ce even when the few of them sat cross-legged on top of it.


The long-browed elder finally mounted the bird and sat down cross-legged as well.


“Let’s go.” He ruffled the bird’s feathers gently.


With a resounding cry, the enormous black bird soared into the sky.


“Eastcalm Prefecture.” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue looked down. Having lived here for so long, they couldn’t bear to part with it.


Under the night sky, Eastcalm Prefecture was blanketed with lanterns—white lanterns. Everybody was mourning and accompanying it was the faint sound of crying. All brothels in the city were closed down.


“Fortunately, we won,” Meng Dajiang said softly. “Eastcalm Prefecture will be restored to its former liveliness soon. If we had lost, Eastcalm Prefecture would’ve been ma.s.sacred. That would be miserable.”


Yan Jin looked down as well. His mother’s death and everything that had happened over the years made him hate his father. However, the people at Calm Sea Pa.s.s were filled with respect for King Calm Sea. His single strike had saved all of Eastcalm Prefecture. It made him view his father differently.


At least he protected a lot of people, muttered Yan Jin under his breath. Then, he looked straight. It was where Archean Mountain was.


Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue gazed longingly at Eastcalm Prefecture as it grew smaller and smaller. After the bird soared above the clouds, they could no longer see Eastcalm Prefecture.


Above the clouds, the stars were bright and clear. The enormous bird spread its wings and now spanned two hundred feet. It shrieked as it advanced. Everyone was seated in the lotus position, most of them looking curiously at the view. Even Meng Dajiang and Liu Yebai had never gone above the clouds.


“We can reach Archean Mountain before dawn,” said the long-browed elder. He did not say anything else.



About six hours later, Meng Chuan and company saw Archean Mountain in the middle of the night.


“That is Archean Mountain.” The long-browed elder pointed ahead.


“Archean Mountain?”


Meng Chuan, Yan Jin, Liu Qiyue, and the others all looked over excitedly. From afar, they saw towering mountain ranges with heights that pierced through the clouds. Meng Chuan and company found the mountain incomparably tall even above the clouds.


“Archean Mountain is the highest mountain range in the world,” said the long-browed elder. “It’s the reason why the sect was established here. It’s also the oldest sect in the world. Its long history can be traced back to the time when humans still lived in tribes.”


“Let’s head to Archean City first,” the long-browed elder said as he gently tapped the bird’s feathers.


The black bird immediately swooped downwards.


After pa.s.sing through the thick clouds, they saw a ma.s.sive city built at the foot of Archean Mountain. Looking down from above, one could see that Archean City was split into an inner and outer city.


“Archean City has an equally long history,” said the long-browed elder. “Human dynasties can be replaced, and the capitals change, but Archean City remains unchanging. In the past, Archean City spanned twenty-five kilometers—roughly the size of an ordinary city. But ever since the demons invaded, many family clans moved here due to its safety. They expanded into an outer city. The city walls of Archean City reach an astonis.h.i.+ng range of a hundred kilometers. In terms of population, it has surpa.s.sed the capital and is the largest city in the Great Zhou Dynasty.”


Meng Chuan, Liu Qiyue, and Yan Jin looked at the huge city in amazement. It was much bigger than Eastcalm Prefecture.


“Yan Jin, Meng Chuan, I will send the both of you to Wu State Guild Hall,” said the long-browed elder. “The two of you will be staying there until the entrance examination at the end of the year.”


“Yes,” answered Meng Chuan and Yan Jin.


The long-browed elder nodded slightly. The enormous black bird had already swooped into the city, arriving at a luxurious complex that occupied plenty of land. There was a plaque at the front of the complex: Wu State Guild Hall.


There was already a group of people waiting in front of the compound. They had waited for almost the entire night.


Whoosh.


When the bird landed, these people bowed respectfully.
