I Can Strengthen Infinitely

"The Three Flowers at the Top is yet to be completed; prematurely coming into contact with the Time Divine Wheel is only harmful and not beneficial. I was too impulsive," Qin Yuesheng said with a bitter smile, wiping the moisture from the corner of his mouth.

Putting away the Time Divine Wheel, Qin Yuesheng had already achieved his purpose, and staying here was no longer useful, so he immediately left.

...

Hong Meng stood expressionlessly outside of Lanhai Dragon City, his gaze sweeping over the distant sea, remaining silent for a long time.

This time, although he did not reap rewards as great as Qin Yuesheng, he did gain a little. Hong Meng was already on the verge of entering the Five Qi towards the Origin realm. After absorbing the elemental qi from the deep pit, he successfully entered the Five Qi towards the Origin realm, significantly enhancing his strength.

However, he was unable to compete for the Three Flowers; he lacked the strength.

When he saw Luling dragging away the corpse of the Primordial Celestial Demon, Hong Meng’s heart was deeply shocked.

Other Grandmasters didn’t know what it was, but as the City Lord of Celestial Secret City, he understood far more than others on this matter.

Celestial Demons!

A millennia ago, only Immortals could deal with the Celestial Demons, yet today they had reappeared in the human world!

Although Hong Meng was unclear about the origin of the massive celestial demon taken from beneath the pond by Luling, his instincts told him that this massive celestial demon was just as formidable as Luling.

It seems that another catastrophe is about to befall the human world.

The war between Celestial Demons and Immortals happened a thousand years ago, and very little has been passed down, whether in strange tales or word of mouth. Those who know the inside story assumed Celestial Demons and Immortals either died in the mortal realm or left. Who would have thought there are still Celestial Demons existing?

Compared to the Demon Sect, Celestial Demons are undoubtedly a greater danger.

"Old Du, did you gain anything this time inside Lanhai Dragon City?" Just as Hong Meng was contemplating on the island edge, a hand suddenly patted his shoulder. Hong Meng turned to see a friend he met on Paradise Island, also a Grandmaster.

Old Du was a fake name Hong Meng chose for himself on Paradise Island; those who come to mix on Paradise Island almost always choose a fake name, and nobody would reveal their true identity.

"A little gain, how about you," Hong Meng collected his thoughts and asked with a smile.

As the saying goes, let those taller bear the fall of the sky. According to Hong Meng’s investigation and understanding, quite a few old monsters still exist in the world. Those are the true living Immortals; since they haven’t started to worry, he indeed has no need to be anxious.

"Two divine weapons, wow, this time it’s thanks to you for giving the information; I made a good profit." The man patted the two tightly wrapped items on his back, speaking joyfully.

Divine weapons are a considerable boost in strength for Grandmasters, so obtaining divine weapons is indeed a significant gain.

"The protective seal of Lanhai Dragon City is weakening; time will only last for one day. If we linger any longer, even a Grandmaster won’t know how they died. It’s not safe to stay here too long. Let’s go."

"No problem."

As soon as Hong Meng finished speaking, the two disappeared from the spot together.

...

To the north of the Central Plains lies a vast grassland. Further north, it becomes the expansive Great Desert, stretching endlessly with sand and barely any greenery.

In the Northern Desert, oases are extremely rare, representing the sole water source in the desert.

The Northern Desert, in terms of area, is much larger than the combined Central Plains and Jiangnan, but sparsely populated, unlike the prosperity and wealth of those two regions.

"Drink drink drink!" A chubby figure with cloth wrapped around his face walked through the Great Desert, clutching a wooden box. With the wind blowing fiercely, countless sand grains whipped his face like nails, hurting deeply.

If Hong Meng were here, he would recognize this chubby figure. Although appearing ordinary, in truth, he ranks fifteenth in the world’s top fighters listed by Celestial Secret City, the Bitter Face Monkey.

Rumors claim he has a skinny, tall physique, with an old, bitter face, resembling a monkey. But that’s not the reality, it’s only a disguise.

The real Bitter Face Monkey is chubby and short, with a simple, honest look, wearing plain clothes amongst the common folks, looking no different than an ordinary citizen.

"Damn it, who would have thought my wife for so many years would be a spy for the Common People’s District and betray me, damn it. This is the greatest sorrow in the world. That damned woman, if I ever catch you, I’ll grind your bones to dust," Bitter Face Monkey spat out sand, cursing in fury.

Since covertly obtaining the Sacred Wheel in Lanhai Dragon City, he discreetly left and returned home.

His wife had been with him for thirty years, practically family, and during one drunken night, Bitter Face Monkey secretively revealed the rusty copper wheel’s secret to his wife.

Logically, this rare treasure’s secret should be kept even from one’s nearest family; it should die with oneself.

But Bitter Face Monkey couldn’t hold back momentarily, hence making a grave mistake.

His wife, being a spy from the Common People’s District, reported Bitter Face Monkey’s greatest treasure acquisition from Lanhai Dragon City to headquarters. When the news was sold, it caused a sensation in the martial world, making anyone envious.
