Chapter 637 Entertainment
I went out of the Lord of lords paG.o.da and found old Fu sitting in the lotus position outside. His entire demeanor seemed to exude a powerful hue of might. There was a different air about him. It was as if something was added to his existence itself that gave him a different vibe.
A more dependable feeling.
"Congratulations," I said to Old Fu.
"You can see it?" he asked as he opened his eyes from meditation.
"No, but I can feel the difference, is that Origin Qi?" I asked.
"Yes, it is a far higher realm than Saint Qi," he said.
"What"s the difference?"
"The laws inside the Origin Qi are far more complicated. And the energy itself feels as if a living thing is within you," he said.
"I won"t understand unless I experience it I guess," I replied.
"In due time, so, what"s with the delay? I thought you would get out faster than I did," old Fu asked.
"Well, I didn"t really think I"ll lose myself cultivating," I replied.
"I see, you managed to consume so much Yang energy I had to leave lest you think of me as food. It"s my first time ever seeing someone absorb and condense a Soul Flame in such a short time," he said.
"Short time? That s.h.i.+t took me an entire year," I cussed out.
"Hah!" Old Fu laughed, "I honestly think you"re a monster. Not even the Dawning Sun himself took as little as you did. He took twenty years. To absorb the Soul Flame, and that is, until this day, a record that has never been broken before…" Old Fu said.
"Oh… I didn"t think it was that hard," I replied.
"Well, it was good that you woke up that early, otherwise in twenty years of you meditating, your puppets might have carved the entire area for minerals," he said.
"Oh, you saw that," I said.
"I did, and didn"t want to stop them, as much as it might damage the inner world in your paG.o.da, it is still a powerful army that they created by replicating themselves. You know, I"ve been thinking about this, why not go to the Thunder Domain?" he asked.
"Why so?" I asked.
"Your puppets, if they"re able to mine in that area, you"ll probably have an unlimited supply of them. The Thunder Domain has the largest concentration of minerals in the entirety of the known beyond. If they could reproduce there, in a few years, you"ll have enough power to challenge the mightiest of forces… well, it"s a thought," he said.
"… I see, I"ll think about it, although I have no intention of starting a war, but it"s not too bad of an idea. One should always make use of the powers they have."
"For what matters now, the elders requested your presence, I believe they have something they want to share with you," Old Fu said.
Not a moment later, we heard a knock on the door. Two men soon waltzed in, not caring one bit or had a decorum of respect to our privacy or the fact that we"re guests.
"You two took long enough! We can"t be delaying this anymore!" one of the two, the younger looking man spoke up.
The other man held his hand to stop him, "Elder Wong, there is no need to raise your blood pressure," he said, "all is well now, please follow us they said.
"Good elder Bad Elder I guess…"
"Who the f.u.c.k are these two?" I asked Old Fu, completely disregarding the two.
Old Fu shrugged, "They"ve been nagging at the door for a while now, I guess they"re some low tier elders from how they spoke," Old Fu followed in on my insults without batting an eye.
The first elder named w.a.n.g looked to be fuming, "YOU DARE!" he said as he began rotating his cultivation base. He seems to be at the Origin Realm… pretty strong.
"A mere Emperor level cultivator dares!"
"And I would," I replied, "If you see, this says Honored guest," I pointed at the badge. "So finish what you were saying, f.u.c.k around and you will definitely find out," I replied.
The badge didn"t seem to have much sway in this matter as the elder moved forward in an attempt to intimidate me. However, the older elder soon stopped him, "Elder Wong, they are indeed guests of our sect, for now please refrain from doing anything that will cause harm to the reputation of our sect,"
The man named Wong swallowed hard and scuffed saying, "Not after hearing insults from a junior, listen here you who is unnamed, take one hit from me, if you survive then I"ll let this matter go."
"Are the people here brain damaged?" I questioned Old Fu.
Old Fu shrugged, "I think this one is a bit special," he said as he made the "crazy" guy gesture with his hand.
Fuming and enraged the man was about to go into an explosive mood. Which was something I wanted after all.
"I mean, who"s stupid enough to try and take a hit from an Origin Level cultivator," I said.
"That means you"re a coward!" he said.
"No, that means that you"re a bully, you like bullying juniors don"t you? You probably take pleasure from doing so, that"s a pervert"s behavior. I always thought that when people grow in age they gained wisdom, I must have been wrong, because this pervert here seems to enjoy doing these perverted acts…"
"101 gaslighting"
The man seemed stupefied at the words coming out of my mouth.
Old Fu began clicking his tongue, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you really do put a bad image for Origin Level Cultivators, I wouldn"t have the face to show if I was as perverted as you, bullying someone three major realms below you, what a shame… is this the level of elders in this sect?" Old Fu asked the other Elder who seemed even more confused.
"I…I…"
"Old Fu, we should probably just leave, we"ve been hara.s.sed and insulted by perverts, I guess this is how the Red Sun treats his guests, I shouldn"t have taken her suggestion. What a shame," I replied.
"Don"t you dare speak his name! You have no right!" said Elder Wong.
"I don"t? I believe I do, unlike you me and him are acquaintances."
"Stop the lies! I"d give my right arm if you had even seen a glimpse of our Lord"s esteemed face. None of us here even met him, while you a junior from unknown lands, a castaway regurgitated sc.u.m dares speak as if you know our lord!"
"Well, I guess," I said as I pulled an item I didn"t think I"ll ever use.
It was the Laughing Slaughterer"s tower. "Do you know what this is?" I asked.
"What kind of garbage is that," Wong said as he slapped the tower away from my hand.
The old man next to him instantly froze in a panic. "W…where did you get that!"
I sighed at the fallen object and said, "I guess this place really is hopeless,"
"WHERE DID YOU GET THAT!" the elder shouted once again.
"Seems like you recognize that," I replied.
"How can I not, it was our Lord"s most prized possession, a tower he made when he first reached the Origin stage… it"s a tower that was used to train low level cultivators of the sect. But it was lost a very long time ago… how come you possess such a thing," the old man asked.
"Now that"s a good question, how about you realize the consequences of your own actions by yourself… well I guess that realization is already here, what"s up," I said.
The two of them looked at each other and then behind them but there was no one.
"What the h.e.l.l are you talking about?"
"They really can"t see you can they?"
"I"m more surprised at how you can even sense me…" a man suddenly appeared right between the two of them.
The two instantly recognized the red robes and went down prostrating in front of the man.
"I guess I should return this," I said as I handed him the small tower.
The old man had a flash of a smile as he grabbed the tower from my hand.
"It really is, my tower…" he said.
"Where was this?"
"Outside," I replied, I didn"t want to expose where I came, but the Red Sun will probably understand.
"Hmm, it has been damaged," said the Red Sun.
"Don"t look at me, I took care of that thing since the moment I received it. That dumba.s.s over there was the one who broke it," I said.
The red sun turned his head to see a petrified looking Wong on the floor.
"I see…"
"Regardless, I come for something more… important, the two of you leave us. As for you…you have three breaths of time to leave my sect." the red sun said.
The man instantly stood up and flew out of the window.
"I guess three breaths of time is too long," he said as he pointed his hand forward, "Die."
It was as sudden as the word was spoken.
The man who was flying as if his entire being depended on it, the man who used blood escape arts, and most of his cultivation to fly and run away just simply perished in mid air the moment the word was spoken.
He then turned to the other elder… "How about I give you four breaths,"
"No need," I intercepted, "Of the two, he was the more sensible also it would be rude that two elders of your sect would die on our first day here."
"I do have many other elders… but you"re right, go and repent for your actions against my guest. A thousand years of imprisonment should be enough of a punishment for your transgression," he said.
"Thank you for your everlasting mercy great lord! Thank you!" the old man said and left the room rather happy looking which was surprising.
I guess not many survive an encounter with the Red Sun.
"So…"
"I need you to partic.i.p.ate…" he said.
"The tournament again?"
"Yes, I won"t take no for an answer," he said as he looked in the distance where the spray of particles and blood was still flowing down from the disintegrated corpse of elder Wong.
"That"s persuasive… but I don"t have the minimum level required to partake, it says Void stage right," I said.
"That won"t be a problem, if you require materials to reach that stage our sect will deliver them to you."
"Why are you being this generous, I don"t think that the tower is enough for all this generosity."
"The tower does hold a good emotional recollection to me but you are right, it is not enough. It is a bet between me and the others… but we need you to be in this compet.i.tion or our bet is void and null."
"I became an entertainment for old Suns now… great,"
