Chapter 450 The Growing Up Journey of DemiG.o.d Wu
Somewhere.
At the foot of the mountain.
Wu Hongfei had many questions in his mind when he visited the elder who had guided him through his vocation.
“Senior, there is something that Hongfei doesn’t understand,” Wu Hongfei said earnestly.
“Speak,” the elder said with a fatherly tone.
“Hongfei made deductions for a friend and gathered the two words ‘Ma Sha’. Nonetheless, Hongfei is unable to figure out the meaning of these two words,” Wu Hongfei said respectfully.
The elder pondered for a long time. “Speak in normal language.”
Wu Hongfei broke out in a sweat. He secretly deleted the Cla.s.sical Chinese translator app in his communication device. d.a.m.n it! Who had told him that seniors loved to speak ancient languages?!
Cough.
“This is what happened. I performed divination on my friend and received the two words ‘Ma Sha’. However, I haven’t been able to figure out the meaning of these two words,” Wu Hongfei said honestly.
He really did not know what they meant.
In theory, one would not infer two words for no reason.
But those two words…
He really could not understand them.
He had poured over the Internet but could not find anything related to the two words!
“Silly.”
The elder smiled faintly. “You have to work on the princ.i.p.al character for such things and perform the divination on what he wanted to know: his cultivation and the affinity surrounding him.”
“No,” Wu Hongfei said honestly. “I wanted to predict his future at that time. However, I didn’t manage to foretell anything. In the end, I tried my best to perform the divination and only gathered these two words.”
There seemed to be a magical power surrounding Lu Ming.
He really could not foresee anything.
Even the two words ‘Ma Sha’ took him by surprise.
“Really?”
The elder was in deep thoughts.
Divination required experience.
Why was it that older people were more accurate in their predictions?
This was because they were very experienced.
They had gone through and dispelled countless doubts. When they next encountered similar problems, they were able to resolve them with ease.
Many things were not in the books.
“In that case…
“You have to go there.”
The elder sighed. “I know your reason for coming. However, you have to consider this very carefully. If you go there, you will waste an opportunity to improve!”
“I have to go,” Wu Hongfei said seriously.
He needed to address the confusion in his heart.
He needed to know what the two words that he had never seen before meant?! Or perhaps, what did they two words meant to Lu Ming?
He could not sleep if he could not figure it out!
The night before.
He was jolted awake in his dreams by those two words.
“Understood.”
The elder understood.
It seemed that these two words had already become an obsession.
So…
He led Wu Hongfei to the back of the mountain and entered the Moon Reflection Spring.
Over there.
There were countless streams of light.
“Have you considered it carefully?”
“Yes.”
“Go ahead then.”
“Okay.”
So…
Wu Hongfei raised his hand and stirred the waters in the Moon Reflection Spring. He posed his question.
Buzz—
The spring dazzled and a scene emerged.
There was endless blue.
It seemed to be an endless sea.
Two giants confronting each other. One was entirely snow white and the other grey. The earth boomed and every attack set off countless waves.
It was terrifying.
This is…
Wu Hongfei’s heart trembled. Seven-star and above!
d.a.m.n it!
What did he predict?!
He could actually see the terrifying existence of seven-stars!
However…
At this moment.
There was already an outcome to the fight.
The grey giant seemed to be weaker and could not beat the white giant. It had been beaten to the ground. Endless white gleams emerged in the hands of the white giant and it was prepared to kill the grey giant.
At this moment, the grey giant sighed. “Lu Ming, I can’t wait for you anymore…”
With that…
It closed its eyes.
However…
The attack did not arrive even after a long time.
It opened its eyes and saw the white giant looking at him quizzically. “Do you also know Lu Ming?”
“He is my benefactor.”
The grey giant said, “He said he will come and look for me.”
“What a coincidence.”
The white giant was pleasantly surprised. “He is also my benefactor.”
After a long while…
They communicated and confirmed that they were referring to the same person.
“What is your name?”
“Little Snow. The snow of snow mountain. What about you?”
“Little Stone. The stone of stone.”
So the white giant helped the grey giant up. The two actually shook hands and buried the hatchet. They held each other and left.
Wu Hongfei was dumbstruck.
d.a.m.n it! What kind of magic fantasy plot is this?!
Why would Lu Ming be a.s.sociated with these two terrifying presences?! Furthermore, what do these two have to do with Ma Sha?!
He was at a total loss.
Fate was destined based on the princ.i.p.al character!
Therefore…
What was going on in Lu Ming’s mind?
He could not figure it out!
At this very moment…
Buzz—
The scene in the spring disappeared.
After a long while…
A few words appeared — The Fate of Ma Sha.
…
After he returned home, Wu Hongfei was still very confused.
Seriously…
What was in Lu Ming’s mind to be a.s.sociated with those creatures and the Fate of Ma Sha? Therefore, he turned on his communication device and inquired asked Lu Ming.
Lu Ming was speechless.
After hearing the entire story, he was dumbstruck.
This ancient cursed bloodline is very powerful!
You can not only deduce intangible things but also plagiarize jokes… Have you considered the feelings of Batman and Superman?!
You didn’t!
You only care about yourself!
That selfish little curse of yours!
→_→
In the end…
Lu Ming explained to Wu Hongfei the so-called Fate of Ma Sha that it was a story of ancient origins from his hometown. He also praised Wu Hongfei greatly!
Wu Hongfei then felt satisfied.
True enough.
Art originates from life and divination originates from the princ.i.p.al character.
His bloodline was powerful to the extent that it could be traced back to an ancient story from Lu Ming’s hometown…
True enough, it was very powerful!
It was no wonder that the elder had said, as long as one had sufficient experience and knowledge, they would be able to a.n.a.lyze and figure out the divination better. He would then become truly powerful!
So…
Wu Hongfei went into seclusion.
One day, he would become DemiG.o.d Wu!
…
At this very moment…
The Sword Card Master a.s.sociation.
After Lu Ming fooled Wu Hongfei, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.
But… he was overjoyed to hear about the gigantic boulder man.
He had not seen it for a long time…
Since they had parted ways at the Lunar Shadow Legacy, he had thought that it had disappeared with the legacy site. Unexpectedly, it actually appeared in the real world and was waiting for him as he had promised!
And seemingly, it had already attained a seven-star breakthrough!
And the snow mountain…
It was also a wonderful ent.i.ty.
It was a pity…
Wu Hongfei said that he could only see endless blue… They should be near a certain sea. Perhaps, they would meet again one day.
He would put away those thoughts.
Lu Ming took a deep breath and s.h.i.+fted his focus to reality.
The matter regarding the two was too distant. Right now, it was more important for him to focus on the burial ground. After all, he had to improve his combat ability as soon as possible!
Well…
Lu Ming created cards quietly.
Whoos.h.!.+
Whoos.h.!.+
There was the faint sound of a pen.
Beside Lu Ming, Xiaobai stretched lazily.
“Master.
“I’m going to prepare dinner,” Xiaobai said obediently.
“Hmm.”
Lu Ming touched her little head.
“Hum!”
Xiaobai stepped out of the room.
She had not returned to her bedroom for the past few days. She stayed by Lu Ming’s side overnight to help him research the cards. She would only leave the room during meal preparation times.
“Senior Sister!”
Li Haoran was somewhat worried by Xiaobai’s lethargic demeanor. “You didn’t rest well yesterday?”
“No.”
Xiaobai yawned and said sleepily, “We were busy till past three o’clock in the morning in Master’s room yesterday.”
Li Haoran was deep in his thoughts.
After a long while…
He told the logistics department to send a muting boundary on the door of Master’s room.
Lu Ming looked at the boundary at his doorstep incredulously. He reckoned that Li Haoran was afraid that he would be disturbed. His heart instantly warmed.
Haoran, this child…
He is very caring.
Immediately afterward…
Lu Ming continued to research the cards.
Just at this moment, he suddenly received a message from Senior Qiu Shuyi. He switched on his communication device to take a look at it and was immediately stunned.
——
“The Disciple Name List of the Burial Ground.”
1. An Mingdong
2. Ao Aojiao
…
——
There were a dozen of them. This was actually the name list for the burial ground.
Of course, there was a note at the end — “One particular disciple belongs to the Conservatives and may harbor malicious intent toward you. You have to make some preparations in advance. In addition, please delete this after reading.”
“This is…”
Lu Ming felt warm inside.
Senior Qiu still cared very much about him…
The name list was not that helpful. It was meant for Lu Ming to understand the strength of his opponents. It had been sent to Qiu Shuyi. Of course, she had to help Lu Ming.
“Oo…”
Lu Ming’s expression became solemn after he took a quick glance at the information about the people.
Peak six-star…
All of them were peak six-stars!!!
According to sources, these were peak six-star Swordsmen recommended by their respective local a.s.sociations. They were sent to the legacy site to gain experience and complete missions!
“This is troublesome.”
Lu Ming rubbed his head.
Although, in theory, there was no danger…
Just as Senior Qiu had said, it was better to make some preparations.
Including the past incident on Qiu Shuyi’s live broadcast, Lu Ming had attacked the Conservative twice. He had to take some precautions!
Besides…
This was a legacy site.
Even if there were no ongoing feuds, it was possible that they would develop hatred and create feuds because of certain treasures…
This time, his opponents were really too powerful!!!
Forget if they were ordinary peak six-stars. These were peak six-stars that could engage in combat of a higher level. Therefore, their combat ability was ‘unknown’!
It was not impossible for their combat ability to have reached seven-star!
Regardless of their level… It was very dangerous!
In normal circ.u.mstances, his combat ability could only withstand one blow from a peak six-star! Even if he were to rely on his cards… He could barely resist the attacks of onepeak six-star!
As such…
Lu Ming had some plans for this coming trip to the fallen land.
Low profile!
Low profile!
He would keep a low profile as much as possible!
Based on Senior Qiu’s advice, the legacy site was huge. He just had to take an independent route alone, search for things and improve his ability quietly.
He would do that.
So, he researched and created cards very seriously for the remaining time.
…
Three days later.
Lu Ming was ready to leave the house.
“Master.”
Xiaobai ran after him.
“What’s the matter?”
Looking at her panting, Lu Ming was amused.
“This.”
Xiaobai gingerly pa.s.sed him a stack of cards which she had specially created for Lu Ming. “These are the card lines that I researched over the past few days. Take them first.”
“Okay.”
Lu Ming took the cards.
This girl…
She did this behind his back.
He took a brief glance. These were not regular cards but researched lines. It should be those that Xiaobai helped him research the last few days.
He put them away in the card bag seriously.
It was a pity…
He did not have the time to look at them.
…
After he left the a.s.sociation, he said goodbye to the little girl and then rushed to the Swordsman a.s.sociation.
“You are here.”
An elder about the age of 60 was sitting at the entrance. A faint smile emerged on his face instantly when he saw Lu Ming. “Since you’re here, let’s go.”
Lu Ming looked at the lonely elder and then the empty-looking a.s.sociation.
“Are you the only here?”
Lu Ming was doubtful.
“Then?”
The elder sighed faintly. “The rest of them have been sc.r.a.pped by you…”
Lu Ming suddenly recovered from his senses.
Oh.
This was because the swordplay department… had been arrested.
Although there were only a dozen perpetrators from Tian Du City branch, the number was already very scary. As such, the headquarters took away all the senior Swordsmen for investigations.
From the finance department, publicity department to the research and development department, none of them escaped.
Therefore, the a.s.sociation was temporarily shut down.
“Don’t be afraid.”
The elder sighed. “I don’t blame you. I’m very happy to be able to help eliminate evil forces. It’s just that it took us by surprise… Even the chef has been arrested…”
Oh.
Lu Ming glanced at the food on the table nearby.
Well…
There was egg fried rice. It was slightly burnt. He could see some salt on it. This must have been prepared by the elder himself.
“You are?”
Lu Ming asked cautiously.
“The branch president of the Tian Du City Swordsman a.s.sociation.”
The elder heaved continuous sighs.
“How do you do, Senior?”
Lu Ming was awestruck.
“No need for formalities.”
The president patted his shoulder and said with a smile, “Aren’t you also a president? Both of us have the same rank. But then again, the vice president should be the one sending you there but… You know what I mean… It’s not a big deal. I’ll bring you there myself. It’s just as nice.”
Lu Ming was speechless.
It was so sad.
“Let’s go.”
The president was very carefree.
Besides having an interest in cultivation, he did not care about other things.
So…
He led Lu Ming onto… a plane.
Looking at the flight ticket in his hands, Lu Ming did not come to his senses for a long time. After a long time, he asked quietly, “President, why do we have to take the plane?”
“If not a plane then what?”
The president felt strange. “Your destination is very far away. It’s definitely more convenient to take a plane.”
Lu Ming was silent.
He had thought that there would be a portal and he would be able to arrive after its activation.
Alright, if he had to take a plane, so be it.
Taking a plane was very safe. The exterior of the entire plane had an energy protection barrier. Basically, those below seven-stars could not destroy it.
Well, he also had the president, a big shot, to protect him.
As such…
Lu Ming felt very a.s.sured.
After a long while…
The two alighted the plane and finally stepped onto a… high speed rail.
Lu Ming was dumbstruck.
“There is a stretch of the road with powerful fearsome beasts in the sky. Therefore, we can only travel through the mountains,” the president explained.
“Oh.”
Lu Ming expressed his understanding.
After a long while…
The two alighted from the high-speed rail. According to the president, they were close by. They took the train, the bus and then eventually… a bullock cart.
The bullock-cart led them into a snowy landscape.
Lu Ming was deep in his thoughts.
“This is a golden sacred bull.”
The president introduced their surroundings, “This stretch of snow mountain is a very dangerous place. It is windy and snowy. Snowstorms may occur at any point in time here. Even six-star cultivators have difficulty traveling in this place. If one becomes overly-exhausted, they might die here. Therefore, we need the golden sacred bull’s a.s.sistance.”
Oo…
Lu Ming somewhat understood. This was akin to the route from Aoshan Mountain to Taibai Mountain in China. It was that kind of no man’s land.
Suddenly…
A storm engulfed them. .
A cold and chilling intent pounced at them.
However, the cold aura disappeared the instant it approached the golden sacred bull. Lu Ming and the president were sitting on the bullock-cart and did not feel the slightest bit unwell.
“Did you see that?
“That is the golden sacred bull,” the president smiled and said.
“I understand now.”
Lu Ming nodded slightly.
True enough, there are many magical things in this world.
However…
Come to think of it…
Why does this golden sacred bull look a little familiar?
Oh.
Eh?
It was actually…
Lu Ming remembered.
The golden sacred bull was clad in a thick and fluffy coat. He almost could not recognize it!
d.a.m.n it! Does this bull belong to the same clan as the roasted golden cow?!
This is amazing!
“We only discovered this place now because ancient Swordsman resided in this area.”
The president felt regretful.
Lu Ming nodded slightly.
However at this point in time, he had been resisting a bellyful of questions. He finally could not take it anymore!
He was not ignorant and had a basic understanding of various major legacy sites. He had also been to the legacy site of the Energy Warrior a.s.sociation, as well as other legacies and various places!
Who would use such a primitive means of transport?!
That was too dumb!
There was even a bullock cart!
He asked softly, “Senior, why… don’t you guys set up a portal?”
The president coughed. “This is for the sake of honing the Swordsman’s will power?”
Lu Ming was expressionless.
Why did this sound as if he was fooling an idiot?
Cough.
The president pondered for a moment and then sighed softly. “The current president of the Array Master a.s.sociation headquarters is the former wife of the president of the Swordsman a.s.sociation headquarters…”
Lu Ming was speechless.
What else could he say?!
…
Cold winds were howling gently.
The bullock cart advanced in the mountain range steadily.
After a long while…
They finally arrived at their destination.
Countless Swordsmen were already waiting near the snowstorm. At a distance away, it was a stretch of void which was seemingly sealed by a certain power.
“Since you guys are already here.
“Let’s begin.”
The Swordsmen got up.
Bang!
Beams of terrifying Sword Auras rose and intersected in the sky. Encircling Lu Ming and the group, they tore through the sky and sent them to void.
“Go…
“Explore this area…
“Search… for that person’s footprints.”
Search for that person’s what?!
Lu Ming had been shoved into the sword gleam before he could come to his senses.
Bang!
Lights flashed.
Before his eyes, there was an incandescent glow.
…
