Chapter 506: – Perpetia City

“It’s good that she’s never touched a man before,” Tianming said .

“How so?” Feiling asked .

“There’s no pressure when I touch you then . ”

Feiling was almost speechless . “Could your thoughts be any more dirty?”

“I can’t help it! She’s been lying there for ten thousand years, and you’re fused with her now… . ” Just thinking about it made Tianming think it was rather stimulating .

“Whatever . Anyway, there’s no more Xuanyuan Chi, only Jiang Feiling,” she said seriously .

“Understood!”

“So?”

“I was thinking, isn’t this kind of the same as having a beauty in both arms?”

Feiling could only find appreciation for the way his mind worked .

“Right, so how are you now with your new god physique? The Hall King said you didn’t have any power in you . ”

“Yes, the godly power of the god physique has run dry after so long . ” Feiling pouted, looking rather adorable .

“It looks like you can’t escape your destiny of being bullied by me . ” Tianming sniggered .

“Says who! I can cultivate now!” Feiling laughed .

“Really? But don’t you still lack a lifebound beast?”

“I don’t need one . Xuanyuan Chi didn’t either . She relied on Demon City to cultivate something called the Perpetia Sutra . It doesn’t need symbiotic cultivation, and it helps you become a god faster . It was what let her become the continent’s tenth god at age twenty . ”

“Wait, are you saying I’ll have a god in the family in twenty years?”

“Nope . It’s really so, so complex that I’m feeling dumb . I need to start from the Beast Vein stage, so who knows how long I’ll need to catch up to you . ”

“Who cares! Now you don’t need to fear growing old and dying . ” Tianming was happy .

“I can already live two thousand years with the god physique . ” Seeing Tianming react, Feiling asked, “Big Brother, what’re you thinking?”

“I need to become a god, so you don’t become a widow . ”

“Without you, I wouldn’t have this physique . Wherever you go, that’s where I go . ” Feiling’s eyes fixed on him and she spoke with full seriousness .

“Really?”

“Yes . ”

“Since you said something so touching, does that mean I can bring my Grand-Orient Sword when I go to bed next time?” Tianming asked .

“But I’m shy… . ”

“So Ling’er, you did know what that meant! And here you kept saying it was my sword hilt . ”

“Quiet!” Feiling blushed . Only an idiot wouldn’t know what that thing was .

……

Regardless, Xuanyuan Chi was a true god . She had a god soul, too! For Feiling to survive her encounter was already a huge stroke of luck . She had originally been meant to be a mortal soul that was fated to live for less than two decades .

It had only been through these two’s struggle that the current laughter was called for .

When they passed through the Bottomless Pit, Feiling whispered to Tianming, “When we were fusing, I heard a voice saying something even Xuanyuan Chi didn’t . ”

Tianming perked up his ears .

“The voice said that the Demon City wasn’t always the Demon City . It used to be known as Perpetia City . ”

……

When they returned to the Divine Capital, Tianming immediately noticed that the city was on fire . Many buildings had collapsed, and corpses littered the streets . The once bustling city had become a purgatory after a short four or five months .

As they neared, they started hearing the snarls of countless lifebound beasts, as well as intermittent screaming and crying .

“How could this have happened?” Bai Xiaozhu felt dazed .

“Nothing to be surprised about . It’s a conflict for the throne, and they’re always bloody affairs . In the past, the Autarch would make sure the succession went smoothly . But now that Autarch Qian’s gone, it’s regressed to such a state,” Bai Mo said indifferently .

“What’s the situation now?”

“Both sides are heavily injured . Autarch Yun has a slight advantage, but he just can’t take down Jiang Ling for good . Many have died . The nation’s power will probably take a hit after this . Those around the Theocracy will be itching to stick their noses in . ”

“Is the dao palace good?”

“Of course . Our disciples still continue cultivating . We just won’t interfere . Now, the dao palace is perfectly united . ” Bai Mo grinned .

“That’s good then . ” Tianming didn’t care about the Theocrats . The more of them that died, the better .

“Tianming, you dealt them a heavy blow by killing the crown prince . Autarch Yun will probably demand an accounting from the dao palace over this,” Bai Mo said .

“Should I hide?”

“No need . He no longer has the power to challenge us . We can ignore him as long as the Evil Suppression Formation is up . You just need to focus on cultivating . If he doesn’t know what’s good for him, we’ll just take care of him and help put Jiang Ling on the throne . ”

“Why not just help the dao palace ascend the throne?” Tianming frowned . Wasn’t this the best chance to exterminate the Theocrats?

“We’ll see how things go . Don’t worry, the Palace Lord and Dark Hall have their plans . ”

“Alright!” Tianming was aware of the two powers’ relationship .

The Theocracy had once belonged to the dao palace . Now, the Theocrats had declined and the crown prince had fallen, ending their line .

“Perhaps it might be time for the dynasty to change . ” Tianming smiled .

……

They passed through the Evil Suppression Formation, finally returning to the safest place in the world . No matter how dangerous it was outside, it remained lively inside .

“Big Bro Tianming!” Ye Lingfeng was still weak . His eyes opened and he looked emotionally at Tianming .

“What is it?”

Ye Lingfeng pointed at the black pillar . “That belonged to the Primordial Demonlord . ”

Tianming was surprised .

Did that mean the Prime Tower and Cyclic Mirror came from an even stronger god?

“At least four gods died inside Perpetia City,” Tianming mused .

“Can I take it away?”

“Not right now . I haven’t spoken to the seniors about the Primordial Demonlord and God-Emperor . That pillar is what’s guaranteeing the safety of the dao palace for now . ”

“Alright . ” Ye Lingfeng wasn’t anxious .

At this moment, a girl with white hair rushed out . “Big Brother, Ling’er, Little Feng!”

“My little sis got even prettier!” Tianming gave her a hug .

Qingyu began chatting with Feiling . “Why do I feel like you’re different somehow?”

“That hand you’re holding now belongs to a ten-thousand-year-old hag . ” Tianming sniggered .

“Nonsense!” Feiling glared at him .

As for Qingyu, she was simply confused .

“Hey, Big Sister Qingyu… . ” Ye Lingfeng lifted his head up weakly .

“Yes?”

“Can I give you a hug too?”

“No, guys and girls can’t touch . ”

Ye Lingfeng was stunned and looked at Tianming .

“What is it?” Tianming asked .

“I, I didn’t know you were a woman!” Ye Lingfeng’s thought process was that Li Tianming and Li Qingyu had hugged, which made them the same gender . “Wait!” He tapped his head . He’d been with Tianming so much that he couldn’t not know if Tianming was a girl . Which meant… .

“Big Sister Qingyu, so you’re a guy! Wait, so why can’t I give you a hug?”

……

There was a beautiful city to the north of the capital, called Dazzling City . It was the headquarters of Dazzling Pavillion, and controlled all of the trade and commerce . Meng Tingyu, their Pavilion Lord, spent most of her time there .

She was currently playing the zither inside a building . Her playing wasn’t very smooth, due to the heavy downpour outside annoying her .

Suddenly there was a flash of lightning . A figure wearing a conical hat appeared by the window .

Meng Tingyu hurriedly knelt down, her forehead pressed onto the cold and wet floor .

“Greetings, Your—”

She hadn’t finished speaking before she was interrupted .

“Little Yu, how are the little fish I wanted?” The voice was slightly aged, but it was gentle .

“Ready, there’s seven hundred thousand . ”

“Where are they from?”

“The capital’s been a mess recently . To fool people, I had the ‘merchants’ go by sea to the Earthorgin Realm and find some small fishes from a remote country there . ”

“And the quality?”

“Middling . However, I’ve been taking good care of them, so they’re in good condition . ”

“Did you talk to the people in power there?”

“Yes . They’re all intelligent people . This is the third time they’ve contributed fish, so cooperation has been smooth . ”

“Good . However, I’m going to need a lot more fish this time . ”

“I’ll make the arrangements . How many?”

“Another three hundred thousand . ”

“Yes!”
