Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 492 – Reentry into Tsukiko

An Zheng felt as if he had lost consciousness for a very long time. At the start, he didn’t know what had happened, but he felt that his consciousness had become blurry, and then, he felt cold. Anyone who had experienced a high fever should be able to imagine how terrifying the feeling of falling into an icy cavern was. Moreover, the temperature of An Zheng’s body, at that moment, had already reached a terrifying level.

What happened after that, An Zheng was even more unclear. It was as if he had fallen into a deep slumber. As for the fact that all his hair had fallen out and then sunk into the ground, he had no idea at all.

The moment he woke up was the moment he opened his eyes. In that moment, An Zheng felt his body filled with power. Furthermore, this power was something he had never experienced before. The two purple beams of light shooting out of his eyes could easily kill the cultivators of the Sumeru Stage!

Sixth stage of the Lower Completion Stage!

Who would have thought that An Zheng’s encounters would be so mysterious?

Perhaps, even when Qi Tian had placed the Heavenly Lightning Pearl into An Zheng’s mouth, he had not expected that this pearl would be so helpful to An Zheng. Of course, this was mainly because An Zheng was a monster himself. If it were any other cultivator, even if it was the kind of youth who was called a genius, and had a cultivation realm similar to An Zheng, even if it was someone slightly higher. Such a simple and crude method to directly absorb the thunder spirit energy from the Heavenly Thunder Bead, perhaps he would have already died from the explosion of his body long ago.

An Zheng’s body had been tempered by both the purple fire and lightning pools. In the cultivation realm of the Lower Completion Stage, his body was comparable to cultivators of the Higher Completion Stage.

Right now, his cultivation had broken through the shackles of three realms in a row and jumped to the sixth stage of Lower Completion Stage. It could be said that from ancient times till now, An Zheng’s speed of increase was rarely seen. Even those young elites of the genuine big families, who had been raised by the big families using countless treasures and elixirs, could not even compare to An Zheng’s terrifying speed.

This was because the worst of the geniuses from the large clans would start their cultivation at the age of five or six. As for An Zheng, when An Zheng was reborn, his body’s condition was really too, too, too, terrible. It turned out that the owner of this body was filled with despair because he could not cultivate.

An Zheng had started to cultivate only when he was ten years old, and only a short seven to eight years had passed since then. Recalling his experience back then, as well as those opponents he’d met, they were all now far behind him. At this time, if he could return to the Mount Cang Man with his cultivation at the sixth stage of the Lower Completion Stage, An Zheng could descend like a king. Even after returning to the State of Yan, the opponents that were once so high and mighty no longer posed much of a threat to him.

Even if it was the old monsters from the Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao, even if their strength had reached Higher Completion Stage, they would not fight An Zheng head on. Right now, An Zheng was growing stronger day by day, and they were already old. Towards people like An Zheng, they could only fawn over them and not make them enemies.

An Zheng reached out his right hand, lowered his head and looked at his palm carefully. He held out his hand, then clenched his fist.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A few hundred meters away, a large stone that had survived the catastrophe was crushed into pieces.

That was several hundred meters away. That sort of power was truly frightening.

An Zheng slowly descended from the air as the temperature of his body and the purple light gradually dissipated. Qi Tian regained his original size and rushed over with Chen Shaobai. Qi Tian sized An Zheng up from head to toe, and couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration: “If I were to give you a body of hair as eye-catching as mine, it would be perfect.”

Chen Shaobai: “What the f * ck is this aesthetic …”

He asked An Zheng, “Are you alright now?”

An Zheng: “Did something happen to me just now?”

Qi Tian: “No, no, nothing!”

Chen Shaobai glared fiercely at Qi Tian, but didn’t say anything more. Since An Zheng was fine, then Qi Tian’s kind actions of doing bad things no longer needed to be overly reprimanded. Qi Tian examined An Zheng’s pulse in his hand and found that the aura inside his body was stable and nothing abnormal. He heaved a sigh of relief and said: “Truly, misfortune brings fortune … Pah pah pah, it’s really your fortune. Your strength is currently at the sixth stage of the Lower Completion Stage, but with your abnormal level, I reckon that cultivators at the eighth stage of the Lower Completion Stage will not be able to gain any benefits if they fight with you. ”

Chen Shaobai: “Aiyo, a moment’s carelessness and you’re already overtaking me. This is a little unacceptable.”

An Zheng asked, “But what happened just now? Why do I remember if someone hit me? I don’t know what happened after that. Qi Tian, did you hit me just now? ”

Qi Tian: “How is that possible? I love you so much that I can’t protect you in time, so why would I hit you? Oh right, I gave you the Heavenly Thunder Pearl, why did you faint when I gave it to you? When you woke up, you had already become so strong. ”

An Zheng carefully recalled and confirmed that Qi Tian had really beaten himself up. The first time he investigated the situation within the Blood Pearl Bracelet, he did not discover the existence of the Heavenly Thunder Pearl. He then used his spiritual sense to examine his body, but he could not find the Heavenly Thunder Pearl. Therefore, he could be sure that the Heavenly Thunder Pearl had been completely absorbed by An Zheng.

Upon hearing that it had been completely absorbed, Qi Tian’s expression changed yet again, “What the hell is wrong with you?! That is a Heavenly Thunder Pearl that can provide the lightning spirit energy for the entire Outer Lightning Lake, it is a genuine Heavenly Treasure! Even if several hundred people went to the Outer Lightning Lake to be refined by the lightning spirit energy everyday, the bead could still last for dozens of years or even a hundred years without its spirit energy disappearing. As for you, you absorbed all of the bead’s power in one breath, yet only raised three f * cking small realms?! ”

An Zheng: “You don’t seem to be satisfied, but I am rather satisfied. “Let’s not talk about this for now. Let’s talk about why you hit me.”

Qi Tian: “I think we should seriously think about where we should go next. If you have nothing important to do right now, let’s go to Chi Guo and take a look. If he could enter the immortal palace again, he might encounter some fortuitous encounters. I discovered that following you made me even luckier. When you weren’t around, whatever the Great Sage did wouldn’t go smoothly. “Why don’t you just follow me from now on and be my mascot?”

An Zheng, “Scram …”

The three of them discussed briefly, and there was indeed nothing important to discuss. Right now, An Zheng and Chen Shaobai could not immediately return to the State of Yan, who knew if Chen Wunuo would send experts to kill them. In order to not implicate Qu Liuxi and the others, it would be better to avoid getting into trouble first. Right now, the most important thing was to quickly improve her own strength. Only when she was strong enough would she be able to protect her loved one and her family and friends.

Therefore, the three of them decided to go to the Tsukiko. Although An Zheng was a little against seeing Xu Meidai again, but since they weren’t going to the Peacock Palace, the chances of meeting her was not high. After all, she was the successor of the Sect Leader of the Peacock Palace and was still in closed door cultivation.

After An Zheng and the other two made their decision, they immediately set off. In order to punish Qi Tian for his rudeness, An Zheng and Chen Shaobai decided to let him do some manual labor.

“Take out your iron rod and we’ll sit on it when it gets bigger.”

An Zheng said in a serious tone.

Qi Tian, “Again? Last time, I was the one who threw it away for fun, and this time, it’s still me! ”

An Zheng: “Don’t worry, I won’t let you throw it away. Just take out the metal rod and make it bigger. Chen Shaobai and I will sit on it. What are you throwing at? It’s so tiring. We are not in a hurry anyway, so it’s fine if you walk slowly. We just have to take a look at the beautiful scenery along the way. ”

Qi Tian: “...”

Who told him to be in the wrong? Qi Tian had no choice but to change his iron rod, allowing An Zheng and Qi Tian to sit on top of it. At first, when Qi Tian transformed the steel rod into a flat piece, it made An Zheng and the others more comfortable. However, later on, the two fellows became even more fierce, making him turn the two ends of the iron rod into two small houses. The two of them went into the small house one by one, and even opened the window to shout and chat.

Qi Tian seemed to be someone who was carrying a burden.

In a small house, An Zheng was playing with the cat. He carried the good old man that he had always kept in his Blood Pearl Bracelet, and followed the fur of the good old man to shout at Chen Shaobai who was in the small house across from him: “All this while, I was rather bored. I feel a little lonely living in such a big house by myself.

Chen Shaobai: “I’m bored to be alone, since my younger brother is free too, then I’ll go take a seat at your side.”

Qi Tian: “You two aren’t even close to each other. Is this really that interesting?”

The iron rod was about ten meters long, with a length of two meters in the middle, and Qi Tian was carrying it within the range of those two meters. A small house with two rascals in it.

Chen Shaobai: “What has it got to do with you! “A laborer like you is not qualified to talk!”

An Zheng: “Why don’t you come in and take a seat as well?”

Qi Tian: “You want me to climb it myself?”

Chen Shaobai casually walked over from the iron rod, and stomped his feet when he passed by Qi Tian’s shoulder. Two people and a cat were chatting in a house, talking from north to south until the question of whether or not the fairies were all very pretty.

Qi Tian: “You guys are going too far.”

Chen Shaobai: “Let’s chat about fairies. What does it have to do with you.”

Qi Tian: “It’s none of my business if you guys want to talk about the Immortal Emperor’s wife wearing anything. It’s a little too much for you guys to cook on my table.”

An Zheng: “My hands are itchy … Forget it, just throw the iron rod out and then you can come up and have a bite to eat. ”

With a whoosh, Qi Tian threw the iron rod out and crawled into the room that An Zheng was in. There were already a few dishes of wine on the table. The three of them travelled happily on a journey that made people jealous. Originally, they were not that far from the Tsukiko, and when the energy that the metal rod was using up was about to be exhausted, Qi Tian had finished his meal. Landing on the ground, with the help of the iron rod, he carried the iron rod on his shoulder and continued to walk forward.

This was the second time they had come to Tsukiko. The last time they came, they did not have any happy experiences.

“The Immortal palace is still a few hundred kilometers away. It’s best that the two of you come down here; you can encounter cultivators at any time.”

Just as Qi Tian finished speaking, the sand dune in front of him suddenly churned, followed by a huge monster rushing out from inside.
