Chapter 372 - What Supposed To Be Xie Tian's Power

Chapter 372 ' What Supposed to be Xie Tian's Power

Zhu Qiao was depressed.

It had been days since she was trapped in the unknown spider nest.

At first, Zhu Qiao had thought that she managed to escape from the hell hole easily. But then, she realized the weird Qi in her brain.

It felt similar to her mother's skill, the Eternal Sweet Dream, which every Succubus Queen had.

Eternal Sweet Dream forced their targets to fall asleep and had a realistic dream. As for their bodies, they became soulless puppets for the succubi.

As Zhu Qiao's mother used to toy with her many times in the past, she could sense the irregular activities or hypnosis effect, caused by the strange Qi. Without trouble, she shattered the realistic dreams and returned to the real world within a few hours.

However, she couldn't dispel the Qi in her brain. By the time she woke up, she got stuck inside a cocoon for the second time.

Again, Zhu Qiao rushed out of the nest with her talisman cheats.

And again, the same Qi strand in her brain knocked her unconscious. Then, she was trapped in a realistic dream once more.

And again, Zhu Qiao broke out of the dream and tried to get out.

Afterward, on the verge of breaking free, she fell asleep and got sent back to her dream.

The loop repeated.

On the morning of the fifth day, after the failure of her 25th attempt, Zhu Qiao gave up.

She was depressed!

"FFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!"

Zhu Qiao screamed while she was stuck in a spider web cocoon.

"What did I do to deserve this!? I just want a happy ending! Why is this different from a normal Otome game!?"

Zhu Qiao started crying like a little girl. At the same time, she started burning every spider web that she found, including weak spiderlings.

She had lost it. Now, she wanted to destroy this place and the entire nest.

BOOM

As soon as Zhu Qiao tore another piece of talisman's paper, she fired a laser beam, evaporating the Qi Sealing Amethyst Mine's ceiling, opening a path for sunlight to shine into the cave room.

"Waaaaaahhhh! I hate spiders!"

BOOM

Again, Zhu Qiao tore ten more talismans and fired ten similar beams randomly, turning the mine into a beehive.

Coincidentally, one of the beams was aimed toward the ground.

BOOM

This time, the beam particle hit something hard three kilometers underground below Zhu Qiao.

The girl heard the odd explosive sound below her. While throwing a tantrum, Zhu Qiao brought out all 500 laser beam talismans and used them, aiming at the dark glossy thing.

"If I have to die, you die too!!"

BOOM

500 laser beams, containing the strength of 6th-stage cultivators, were fired toward the unknown luster metal underground. The power created a direct pathway to the unknown black thing.

Despite being hit by several light beams, the glossy black thing was fine. However, there were movements.

A lizard finger briefly appeared and scratched the surface of the black metal for a moment before it was pulled back.

Zhu Qiao squinted her eyes, trying to see further away in the dark cave. She wasn't sure if she was hallucinating, but for a moment there, she believed that the thing she had been hitting was similar to a dragon scale.

Since Zhu Qiao had already given up escaping from this cape, she already prepared to use a random teleportation talisman. Seeing that there was a mysterious being below her, Zhu Qiao made her decision.

"Hah! I'll be killed if I stay. I might as well rely on my godly luck! Farewell, motherfuckers!"

Zhu Qiao tore one of her random teleportation talismans right away.

WHOOSH

Her body disappeared from the cave, but Dian Wei's Qi was still latching inside her.

'¦

WHOOSH!

Zhu Qiao's body slowly manifested. She opened her eyes to check her surroundings while she bit her lips, nervous that she might have been sent to a strange planet or another continent.

However, as soon as she looked behind her, she found someone she knew.

Wu Guotai, who had been sitting on her bed in her room, stared at the intruder.

Zhu Qiao was sent to Wu Guotai's mansion on the Jiangdong White Tiger Sect's flying island!

"Oh? Back so soon. I thought you eloped with mas-I mean, Mao Miaomiao."

Zhu Qiao cried.

"WHRYYYYYYYYYY!!?"

Ding

<Currently, you have low LUCK points. Expect bad fortunes or occasional accidents.>

"'¦"

The previous encounter with Huang Zhong robbed her LUCK. Now, she regretted tagging along with Miaomiao.

'¦

Time passed.

= Dragon Cave =

"Circulate all your element Qi from your brain to your heart this time."

Miaomiao, still sitting cross-legged, concentrated on moving seven types of elemental Qi from his brain to his heart. The majority of them pushed themselves through the nerve and blood vessels. Only 10% of his Qi managed to climb his spinal cord down to his heart, ignoring the normal pathways or meridians.

It had been a week since the dragon began coaching Miaomiao with his weird circulation technique. Nero kept encouraging him to ignore human logic and treat his inner organs as hollow space.

Miaomiao's brain had strangely evolved. Somehow, it could contain a massive amount of Life Essence as if there was a subspace inside, absorbing energy like a dam.

The brain tissues, eyes, ears, skull, hair, nose, mouth, tongue, and skin could now store Life Essence and Element Qi as if they were pocket dantians. Each cell could carry 100 liters of Life Essence or 100 strands of basic element Qi. As for advanced element Qi, Miaomiao still needed to move them through his blood vessels as his cells couldn't contain them.

The training was difficult. Miaomiao lost count of how many times he accidentally shattered his eyeballs, created cancer cells, or ruptured several veins while he had been experimenting with how he could store energy within each organ. Many times, he had bleeding in his brain, falling to a comatose for a few minutes.

Fortunately, Nero monitored his progress and injected his soul Qi to adjust Miaomiao's conditions. The OP healing water also helped a lot in dealing with cancer and restoring his health.

Once more, Miaomiao tortured himself in a way that normal cultivators had never dared to try. He almost killed himself several times while Nero and the OP healing water brought him back to life before his soul departed from his body.

"Keep going. Don't worry if you need to use the old method to move your Qi. You haven't realized this yet, but you've already opened 30 clogged nerve meridians within your head."

Miaomiao had doubts, "If we're going to open my nerve meridians, can we skip the sponge process?"

"No. The sponge-like evolution is crucial to your future advancement. Once every cell and organ in your body can hold at least one ton of essence, your essence efficiency will be similar to 8th-stage cultivators, though it's weaker."

"O-One ton of essence!? And 8th-stage!? Already!?"

"It's not like your physique will be immune to all physical or Qi attacks like them. Your entire body will become a mass of Essence. Even when your dantian is full, your body can still hold excess essence as a reserve. Ideally, your entire body should be able to hold up to five times the maximum capacity of your dantian. You will be able to unleash multiple strong skills instantly without the need of Qi circulation while your blood and nerve will act as dummy meridians to fool your opponents."

Nero explained how dragons like him could benefit after he had converted every organ into pocket dantians or a sponge, turning his physique into a massive mass of essence and elemental Qi.

Once the transformation had been completed, Miaomiao's energy capacity would be increased by five times his maximum dantian size. Also, his Qi circulation speed and the quality of Qi would be improved due to the physique evolution. Even if his critical organs, such as his heart, were destroyed, Miaomiao could still regenerate it back by using the mass of energy within the nearby organs.

This was the prerequisite before Miaomiao could connect his physical dantian to his soul dantian and heart meridian to his soul meridian. Once both soul dantian and meridian had been connected, Miaomiao should be able to handle elemental essence and soul Qi, which was a lot stronger than advanced elemental Qi.

He could even transfer his memory and conscience to his soul! Even after his brain was to be destroyed, Miaomiao could still use them as a backup brain and regenerate his physical brain back with his Life Essence!

The road to immortality was before him!

"From my estimation, you will probably need two to five years to complete the physique transformation. How about this? You and my disciple can spend your night together. Then, during the daytime, you come back here to train with me. It will take about four to five years to complete the current training, 10 extra years to increase your cultivation base to the 7th-stage, 30 years to ascend to the 8th-stage, and 50 more years to reach the ceiling of this world. However, you will be safe under our protection."

Nero offered to protect Miaomiao until he could reach the 9th-stage. He could wed Dian Wei and reproduced their super children here as well.

Dian Wei, who had been idling nearby during these days, beamed the brightest smile of her life as she looked forward to having a good stud as her husband.

Miaomiao looked at both of them.

The offer was tempting. Had Miaomiao met them first, he could have accepted their offer right away, though he might have ended up being eaten by Dian Wei.

However, at present, Miaomiao had several wives and children back home. He couldn't stay here for too long or had another hidden wife without telling Wei Yuan first.

"I'm sorry, senior. I don't have enough time to train under you. My hometown is being attacked by evil human cultivators. I need to go back to my people."

"Then, migrate your people here to live with us."

"If I do, we'll lose the source of that water. The humans will steal the source of dryad's spring water for themselves," Miaomiao pointed at the pool of spring water, which Nero had been sitting in.

Nero widened his eyes and stared at the precious medicinal water. His black face got even darker as his mood went sour.

"Human cultivators'¦ again'¦"

Nero took a deep breath, calculating the pros and cons.

"Brat."

"Yes?"

"Who is attacking your hometown?"

Miaomiao had a faint smile on his face as he incited the dragon, "Yuan Hua's underlings and her brother, Yuan Shaoqing."

"Hohoh?" Nero sneered and looked at Dian Wei, whose face distorted in anger after she heard the name, "I'm sorry. I can't let you leave yet. But, where is your hometown again?"

Miaomiao frowned as the dragon didn't exactly allow him to leave. Still, he revealed his city's location, "Siren City, west of Chicken Ann, south of Xuan City."

"Is the city near the west coast?"

"You know about the geography, sir?"

"I'm not that ignorance. I had Wei'er scout the entire continent several times to draw me a map. I'm also preparing to break the seal and get the fuck outta here as well, you see."

Nero flapped his four wings and attempted to jump to the ceiling. However, several silver chains suddenly appeared and tied him to the ground. One of the chains was chipped and cracked though.

The black dragon explained, "These are the seals. Whenever I try to fly or move to the surface, these chains always appear regardless of where I am. They are stuck with my soul. Until I recover all of my power to break these chains, I can't move from this room."

Miaomiao nodded as he understood the trouble, "That looks annoying."

"Yeah, very annoying. Back to the topic, I need you to stay with me for a bit longer."

"But I'm in a hurry."

"How long do you think you need to get home, then? With your skills and speed, I doubt you can get back home in a day or two."

"If I have a week, I might."

"Nah. You'll run into several troublesome cities. First off, Wanchang City has a no-fly policy. Runan is protected by experts from Zhang Clan. Xiangyang and the Jing Province also have that monster archer guarding their airspace. You will run into many checkpoints before you can cross the continent, brat."

"'¦"

That was true. Miaomiao was 8,500 kilometers away from home. He would need a miracle to fly straight home without running into trouble.

"Most importantly, I can sense everything and everyone on this continent. I can also tell where your enemies are. Too bad that most of my power is sealed, or I would have destroyed all humans on the surface of this planet already."

Nero scoffed as he had the urge to destroy the entire planet to kill all humans. Unfortunately, he was powerless at the moment.

Miaomiao was interested in his enemy's movement, "Can you tell me how the situation on the surface is?"

"Sure!"

'¦

The dragon wrote a map and told Miaomiao everything about each force. Dian Wei also helped them draw a map.

Many forces and armies had been moving toward Siren City as they spoke. However, they were nowhere near Miaomiao's town.

Yuan Shaoqing's forces and Mount Hua Sect gathered at Tiger Cage Pass.

A task force of unknown forces are attacking Xuan City and got beaten by the unknown golem army.

The Sun Clan's fleet stopped by at Jiangxia while the Jing Province's forces gathered at Xiangyang, the city west of Jiangxia.

An army of demons moved from Mountain Goose City and stopped at Red Chicken Port, east of Tiger Cage Pass.

A human army of an unknown organization mobilized from the southwest, heading north through the series of mountain ranges and valleys. Estimated arrival time ' Two months.

A thousand small groups of human cultivators traveled individually, moving toward the same direction to Red Sun City.

And lastly, a massive group of cyclops had been taking a detoured northwest of Yeet City, visiting the edge of the continent, where they had spotted an inactive pylon tower.

Dian Wei and Nero could see and sense everything even though they were several kilometers underground, which gave Miaomiao's goosebumps.

"You can see everything from here?"

Dian Wei giggled, "You will be able to do the same if you train under Master Nero."

Nero puffed his chest, "Ain't I great!? Now, won't you acknowledge me as your master, Cat Meow-meow!?"

"I can kowtow to you, but my hometown'¦"

"We can teleport you there," Nero turned around and picked a giant slab of metal among the piles of treasures, which he had collected in a small room.

The black dragon waved it around and grinned, "This is my record of the time-and-space technique that I copied from one of the murals. Since you have Firecracker's bloodline, you should have one of the seven pieces, right?"

"W-What!?"

Nero coughed and puffed his chest again, "I've learned a super technique. I can teleport you home right away whenever I want to. Though, I can't teleport myself."
