Against The Gods With An Anime System - Chapter 140

After he gotten his latest quest, Mesa once again concentrated on the Frozen End Divine Arts/ Ice Phoenix Investiture Canon that was inscribed on the wall. Pretty soon, he was going through the beginning stages of it. But before long he abandoned it completely. Since his True Ice Arts was superior to the Ice Phoenix Investiture Canon in the long run, he decided to abandon it completely.

While he was contemplating his next move, he suddenly shot up to his feet with a ‘oh shit!’ expression on his face: “Shit! I completely forgot to give those two some food!”

And then, his eyes turned into Obito’s Eternal Mangekyo Sharingans, and warping himself away, he went into his Kamui pocket dimension.

____________________________________________________________________________________

Let us turn the clock back to 4 days ago.

After Mesa had freed Yun Canghai and Yun Che from the seal under the Mighty Heavenly Sword Villa, he stored them inside the Kamui dimension. After they were warped into it, both of them were absolutely astonished at seeing Mesa’s pocket dimension.

‘Wow. Amazing. There is so much Profound Energy in the atmosphere in this place. I have never seen a place with such dense Profound Energy saturating throughout the air itself. Not even the Profound Rooms of my Yun Family and those of the Illusory Demon Royal Family have such rich and dense Profound Energy in it.’ Was Yun Canghai’s first thought upon entering the Kamui dimension.

But this astonishment was soon quashed as Yun Che fell to his knees due to having great difficulty breathing

“Che’er!” Yelled out Yun Canghai seeing his grandson on his knees gasping and wheezing. “I know it hurts, but you must calm your breathing and calm your mind. Listen to me and calm down and expel all of the Profound Energy from this place out of your Profound Veins.”

Listening to his grandfather, Yun Che calms his mind and breathing and focusses on expelling from his Profound Veins. At first, it was very difficult on account of all of the Profound Energy rushing into his Profound. But after a while and with great, he finally managed to get it done. But in order to make sure that the Profound Energy didn’t rush back in, he had to keep focusing on keeping out the Profound Energy as possible.

After a while, Yun Che had managed to expel all of the Profound Energy that was trying to rush in, without the need of completely focusing on it. And all of this under the watchful eye of Yun Canghai: “So Che’er, I see you have managed to do as I told you. Now listen to what I have to say and listen carefully.”

With Yun Che’s undivided attention on him, Yun Canghai went on to explain: “As you have noticed as well, he atmosphere in this place is super saturated with Profound Energy. But because of your low level of strength and Profound Energy in your Profound Veins, the Profound Energy around us is rushing into your body and in particular, it is rushing into your Profound Veins. And it is that what’s has caused you a lot of pain earlier.”

“Yes grandfather. I had felt it. It was like my Profound Veins were being inflated with air to the point that they were about to burst. If you didn’t tell me to expel all of the Profound Energy. But grandfather, how are you not feeling the Profound Energy rushing into you?”

“Who said I am not feeling it. At this very moment, the Profound Energy is trying to rush into my Profound Veins as well. It is just that I knew what would happen to me the moment we were transported here and I immediately blocked of my Profound Veins.” Said Yun Canghai much to Yun Che’s amazement.

“But us being here has now provided us with a once in a million-year opportunity. From now on until the moment we are to leave this place, we must cultivate as much as possible. The air around here is so dense with Profound Energy, that we can get stronger at an unimaginably quick pace, that even those of Four Sacred Grounds will seem slow by comparison.” Said Yun Canghai to the mammoth sized shock of Yun Che. For a very long time he, and everyone else of the Profound Sky Continent, had believed that the Four Sacred Grounds were at the top. They had the best treasures available, the best resources at hand in order cultivate. They were the ones at the top and anyone else was incomparable to them. But now he was being told that this space will allow him to become stronger at a pace that those of the Four Sacred could only dream of. It made him both very happy and mad at the same time and in equal measures. Happy that he could share time with his grandfather and become stronger with him. And mad, because once again, Mesa Uchiha was at the center of it all and he still hated him for everything he had done to him. But he knew that he would’ve never found his grandfather and share so much time with him if it wasn’t for Mesa. So setting aside his pride, he obeyed his grandfather and did as he said.

And so, for the next four days, without any sleep, or food, or water or rest, Yun Che kept all of his focus on cultivating safely and making sure that his body was not overwhelmed and subsequently injured by the overabundance of Profound Energy. Doing all of this, he had managed to increase his cultivation from level 2 Nascent Profound Realm to level 4 Nascent Profound Realm.

Yun Canghai himself didn’t stay idle as well. He too took advantage of this rare opportunity and he too focused on cultivating. With his original cultivation level of level 8 Sovereign Profound Realm haven been suppressed for such a long time by the Heaven’s Might Soul Suppressing Formation, it had been degraded to such an extent that he is now at half-step Sovereign Profound Realm. But with his many years of experience and cultivation, he was able to more easily cultivate in this space where the atmosphere is super saturated with Profound Energy. And with it, he managed to once again break into the Sovereign Profound Realm after four days of continuous cultivation.

After four days, Mesa warped into the Kamui dimension. First thing he noticed was…

‘Huh?! Why is this place not completely dark?! And where are all of the blocks?!’

Yes, indeed. This Kamui dimension was not like Obito’s. This one was an endless stretch of grasslands with a clear sky. But instead of a blue sky, this one had a purple tint to it. Thoroughly confused by all of it and expecting to enter a Kamui dimension that looked exactly like Obito’s, Mesa exits and takes out an apple and warps it into Kamui. Warping himself into it, he sees the apple lying on the ground.

‘So. This really is my Kamui dimension.’ Thought Mesa looking around before shrugging his shoulders: ‘Meh. Honestly, this version is better looking than the original. Far less depressing and nyctophobic if you ask me.’

Looking around, he noticed both Yun Che and Yun Canghai sitting on the ground, both of them in a trance as they were in a state of deep on cultivating. Only after that did he notice that the air around him was super saturated with Profound Energy. But it didn’t rush into him, nor did he feel any discomfort or the opposite. He just felt the same as always. But looking down, he saw that the Infinity Gauntlet was visible and the Power Stone was glowing.

‘Ohhhh… so that’s the deal. With the Power Stone infinite well of power, it’s power flows into me and because the Kamui dimension is a part of me, it flows into it by extension. So that is why the air around here is so saturated with Profound Energy and why I didn’t seem to notice it at first. It’s because of this thing. And that must be reason why these two are in a trance like that.’

Knowing that these two wouldn’t wake up, he went to work. He made a bounded field with a 50 m diameter around these two. And inside this bounded field, the level of Profound Energy would be very low. Even lower than in the Blue Wind Empire. A few minutes later, the two of them open their eyes, seeing Mesa standing there in front of them, with a bag in his hands, scratching the back of his head and laughing awkwardly: “Hey there. I am really sorry about forgetting to give you two some food. I was really busy with some stuff and I completely forgot about you. Really sorry about that.”

Taking out a table and a few chairs from his Sky Poison Pearl, Mesa emptied out the bag with food on the table, consisting mostly of bread and fruits. And as expected, the two of them were quite hungry and dig in they did, but not before thanking him for the food.

After they had eaten their fill and thanked him for the once again, did Yun Canghai finally ask him: “What is this place? And how is it possible that the air here is so rich and dense with Profound Energy?”

“This place is my own personal pocket dimension.” Said Mesa calmly, shocking both Yun Canghai and Yun Che.

“As for how this is possible, that I cannot tell.”

And he could see from Yun Canghai’s face that he had accepted this explanation. Anyone else in Mesa’s place wouldn’t be divulging possibly sensitive secrets to great treasures and resources. Lest they want to become the target of those seeking to take those treasures and resources for themselves.

“But anyhow, there is another reason why I came here.” Announced Mesa standing from the table. “I have promised you two that I would take you to the Illusory Demon Realm, no matter how long it would take. But I can imagine that you guys wouldn’t want to stay in this place for what could be many years. So in light of that, I have found a safe house for the two of you, where you can stay for many years without any problems, provided that you follow the directions that I’ll lay out for the both of you.”

Before he could do that, Yun Canghai quickly stood up and came up to him. “Wait please! I know this will sound very presumptuous, but will you please let me and my grandson stay here.” And requested this from Mesa’s to Yun Che’s shock.

“Why should I?” Asked Mesa suspiciously.

“Because this place is simply the most amazing place for cultivating that I have ever seen. If Che’er and I stay in this place, I am certain we’ll become very strong at a very fast pace.” Said Yun Canghai.

“So, let me get this straight. You want to use my pocket dimension so that you and your grandson can become stronger. Why should I bother with this in the first place and what do I get out of this?”

And much to their shock, Yun Canghai gets on his knees and bows down to Mesa: “I have nothing to offer you but my eternal gratitude and that of the Yun Family. I am not just requesting you, but begging you to let us stay here. I want to get stronger, because as we had discussed all those months ago while I was sealed away, there is definitely a traitor within the Illusory Demon Realm. Because of my capture, the Illusory Demon Royal Family have lost The Demon Emperor’s Seal and the Yun Family have lost the Patriarch’s Crest. And I am certain that this traitor is now using this to weaken my Yun Family and the Illusory Demon Royal Family, all so that he can usurp the throne. That is why I want to stay here. I need to get much, much stronger, so that when you bring us back home, I can prevent the traitor’s plan from coming to fruition and help my Yun Family regain their lost glory and power that must have declined because of my capture and subsequent imprisonment.”

Looking down at Yun Canghai, who was groveling before him and begging him, abandoning all of his pride, just so that he could let him and Yun Che stay in the Kamui Dimension and grow stronger to help out his family, his friends and his country, Mesa was reading his mind to see if there were any ulterior motives. And from what he read, Yun Canghai had none. His only motivation to stay was to be stronger to help out his family, friends and country. He didn’t care about gaining strength to dominate the Illusory Demon Realm or for that matter, the entire Blue Pole Star himself. His only motivation to gain strength was the dire situation that the Illusory Demon Realm and the Yun Family were in right now.

“[sigh]… Fine. I will let you and Yun Che stay here until we get to the Illusory Demon Realm.” Said Mesa, much to Yun Canghai’s joy.

“But before I do that…” Said Mesa cryptically.

Just as Yun Canghai wanted to ask him what he meant, he was suddenly grabbed by the head by Mesa with his right hand. With a quick usage of the Mind Stone, he put Yun Canghai to sleep and then he turned around to a very frightened Yun Che.

“Alright Yun Che. From reading your grandfather’s mind, I saw that his motives were pure. But yours weren’t. And it’s about time that I fix up this entire situation with you and ensure you won’t become a nuisance to me in the future.” Said Mesa

(A.N.: Alright, it is time that I bring the entire loose end situation with Yun Che to a close. And just so you know, I don’t plan on killing him. But I do plan on making him not a possible nuisance anymore. How I will do that, you’ll see in the next chapter.)
