Chapter 1103 - 1103: Cultivate While Waiting
After Zheng-Fu finished talking with Hou-Jie, he immediately headed to where the testing tower was located to avoid wasting any time. And when he reached it, he hurriedly entered the first floor.
On the first floor of the testing tower...
Hah!?
"Is this the true name of this testing tower?"
As Zheng-Fu entered, he found a large sign with golden letters that read, 'Nine Hells and Seven Celestial Heavens Testing Tower'. Previously, when White Tiger Monster Deity had tested him, there was no name sign. Therefore, Zheng-Fu thought that it might be the original name of this testing tower.
"Nine Hells and Seven Celestial Heavens Testing Tower? Really interesting. Then that means this tower has more tactics than that White Cat Monster Deity used on me, right?" Zheng-Fu grinned in satisfaction as he thought of the hidden potential of that Nine Hells and Seven Celestial Heavens Testing Tower that he had yet to know.
Whooooosh!!!
Ah!?
Zheng-Fu's brain suddenly received a lot of knowledge on how to use the Nine Hells and Seven Celestial Heavens Testing Tower. First of all, he knew that this testing tower was a seven-star Deity Treasure, which was the ultimate Deity Treasure. Just a little more, and it would be God Level Treasure. Or to put it simply, it was a Half-God Level Treasure.
Nine Hells and Seven Celestial Heavens Testing Tower had nine floors underground and seven floors high up in the sky. But to be able to go down and take the test of the Nine Hells floors, one must first pass the test in the Seven Celestial Heavens floors. Those who could pass the test of the Seven Celestial Heavens would have their energy levels increase to the utmost Deity Monarch Stage or even be promoted to the Great Deity Stage.
"I never thought that Nine Hells and Seven Celestial Heavens Testing Tower would be this awesome. This tower will allow me to create many strong identities if I have the time. Unfortunately, I don't have much time right now. At most, I only have another two or three months to rescue Fu-Er!" Zheng-Fu felt happy and sad at the same time. He was happy because of the potential of the Nine Hells and Seven Celestial Heavens Testing Tower. And he was sad because the time he had was too little. His wife was in danger.
"Well, at least I still have some time left. Besides, Hundred Monsters Capital is still safe from the Demon Race and is unlikely to be easily defeated by attacks. It'll probably give me some more time!" Zheng-Fu was constantly checking news about the Demon Race's war with the Monster Race and the Half-monster Race. Therefore, he knew that Fu-Er was still safe at that time. But he could not be trusted, so he had to quickly cultivate his energy and become as strong as possible.
Zheng-Fu walked inside and stopped at the main hall on the first floor. Before he truly activated the Nine Hells and Seven Celestial Heavens Testing Tower.
Groooaaan!!!
Outside Nine Hells and Seven Celestial Heavens Testing Tower...
"Your Majesty, what happened to the testing tower, sir?" Jie-Lu was curious as he saw Nine Hells and Seven Celestial Heavens Testing Tower shaking back and forth.
"Ask me!? I'm standing here with you as well, so how would I know?!" Hou-Jie turned to glare at Jie-Lu with wide eyes before snorting in displeasure. Because he did not know what was going on inside, and he wanted to know just like Jie-Lu.
Ah!
Flap!
"Your Majesty, sir! We received news that the human's Hong Clan was destroyed. It was because the Hong Clan had a conflict with the Wu Clan, which was also a human clan. However, the Wu Clan did not move at all when the Hong Clan was destroyed. Many are speculating that the person who did this might be another powerful identity that the Hong Clan has offended!"
Suddenly, a golden monkey elder appeared beside Hou-Jie. Before he reported the matter he had been assigned to do. It was about the destruction of the Hong Clan.
Hah!?
"A powerful identity? It's so strange! Aside from the big clans and a few big forces that can destroy the Hong Clan, I don't think there's anyone else. But all of them didn't move at all. Besides, wiping out a medium-rank clan couldn't be done without anyone knowing. And in this area, apart from Desert Cliff Lord of Lion Race, only Cloud Valley City Lord can wipe out the entire clan by himself alone."
Hou-Jie was very interested in this incident. Because Hong Clan was a medium-rank clan that was famous and had quite a bit of wealth. Even though it was a medium-rank clan, it had three Deity Monarch Stage cultivators and dozens of Genuine Deity Stage cultivators. Even Golden Monkey Heaven Valley could not compare with the Hong Clan. Therefore, Hou-Jie sent out his subordinates to investigate the incident.
From the news that the golden monkey elder reported, he thought that there was no way that a big power could take action without anyone knowing. Destroying a large manor like that required quite a bit of energy. But that manor had quietly disappeared without anyone knowing what had happened.
"Or is it a force from another region?" the golden monkey elder thought for a moment before commenting.
"It's not likely. They had an agreement not to cross each other's territories. Although the powers in other areas won't be inferior to the powers in our area." Hou-Jie had the same idea at first. But when he thought about the possibilities, he was sure that it was not a power from another area. And the feeling in his heart told him that the person who took down the Hong Clan was someone close to him.
"And who do you think is most likely to be the one to do it?"
"I don't know either. Because maybe there is a strong person hidden in this area that doesn't belong to any power!" Hou-Jie did not want to randomly guess who it was. But there was also a possibility that he was someone hiding in this area who did not have anything to do with anyone.
Umm!
"By the way, who is in the testing tower, sir, Your Majesty?" The golden monkey elder did not ask about Hong Clan matters anymore. Instead, he turned his attention to what happened to the testing tower.
"Master has returned. And now he's in there," Hou-Jie replied with a calm expression, but his eyes were filled with various emotions.
Hah!
Master!?
"You mean that human kid, sir?" The golden monkey elder immediately understood who 'Master' Hou-Jie was talking about. He had long wanted to ask Hou-Jie who exactly Zheng-Fu was. And why must his king have served that human kid? And if Hou-Jie had not commanded him, he would have already dealt with Zheng-Fu earlier. Because with his second level of the Deity Monarch Stage energy level, he could easily take down ants and termites at a level lower than himself.
"I know what you are thinking, Elder Hou-Shen. But I can tell you that even if you used all the energy you had, you wouldn't be able to defeat Master right now. If you even think about taking action against him, you will definitely die a miserable death!" Hou-Jie seemed to know what the golden monkey elder was thinking, so he warned him to stop thinking like that.
Ah!
"How is this possible? Just a few months ago, he was still…"
"For Master, nothing is impossible. Due to his luck, he always encountered magic treasures and things that helped his energy level advance rapidly. So, during the time of going out on an adventure alone, he might have encountered many such things!" If it were anyone else, Hou-Jie would also want to side with the golden monkey elder's opinion. But because he had been with Zheng-Fu for a long time, he knew that Zheng-Fu's luck was so good that many people were envious and wanted to receive it as well.
Umm!
"I understand, sir."
Afterward, Hou-Jie ordered his monkey subordinates to organize guard duty at the tower. Also, he had some of them go to wait at the edge of the forest for a group of people who were out hunting and report to them that Zheng-Fu had returned.
At the edge of Fog Cliff Forest...
"Ba-Ong, you did really well today. But if you reduce the energy you use a little, it would be better. Because that high energy caused a lot of damage to the monster beasts' corpses!" Mie-Xiang-Qi said in a clear voice, warning Ba-Ong to use less energy. Because of his energy frenzy, less than half the corpses of the monster beasts they had hunted were left. And some had only the legs or arms remaining.
"I'm sorry, Sister Mie! I didn't think these monster beasts would be this weak. At first, I thought the Heavenly Deity Originate Stage monster beasts would be stronger!" Ba-Ong replied with a guilty expression. He did not expect that his attack would be so powerful that even the fourth level of the Heavenly Deity Originate Stage monster beasts would not be able to withstand a single attack from him.
"You know that the cultivation skills we practice make us two levels stronger than people of the same level or higher than ourselves. How can monster beasts that are only one level higher than you cope with you?" Heim added. At this moment, his appearance had changed a lot. He no longer looked like a big, hideous giant. But he turned into a very good-looking and manly middle-aged human.
"I know, Brother Heim! I'll try not to be too harsh next time." Ba-Ong admitted his mistake. Because this time they did not just come out for training but also to hunt for food. But Ba-Ong's use of excessive force had left them only little meat. And because of his fault, they had to hunt more monster beasts. "By the way, where has Jin-Tian gone? Why can't I see him? He was still here just now, wasn't he?" But at that moment, he realized that Jin-Tian had disappeared. So, he turned to look around for him before asking.
"He's at the top of that tree! This kid is very enthusiastic. He was even more determined and diligent in training than us. Even though he trained with us, he has already broken through to the Genuine Deity Stage!" Heim pointed up at the top of a tall tree nearby. Up there, the figure of a teenage boy who was around thirteen to fourteen years old stood firmly and exuded a pressurized aura. This made Heim very envious of Jin-Tian's talent and tireless diligence.
Sigh!
"Because he wanted to protect Zheng-Fu and didn't want to disappoint him. That's why he had tried so hard to train like that. I don't know why he loves and respects Zheng-Fu so much." Mie-Xiang-Qi knew why Jin-Tian had put in so much effort. It was all because of Zheng-Fu alone. However, she did not understand and was curious about the real reason why Jin-Tian devoted his body and mind to Zheng-Fu.
Thump!!!
"Everyone, Master has returned. Let's go back to Golden Monkey Heaven Valley!"
Hah!!!
Zheng-Fu has returned!?
Second Brother is back?
Master has returned?
At that moment, Jin-Tian suddenly jumped down to the ground and told everyone that Zheng-Fu had returned to Golden Monkey Heaven Valley. His words made Mie-Xiang-Qi, Ba-Ong, and Heim feel extremely shocked and delighted. Especially Mie-Xiang-Qi, because she really misses Zheng-Fu and wants to see him so much. Every night, she dreamed of Zheng-Fu and thought about the times when Zheng-Fu used to harass and tease her. It made her very happy.
"Then let's go back!"
Umm!!!
