Blood Moon Hunters - Chapter 273
“Son… why?” Alice asked in pain.
“Even though father was strict to me, he taught me to strike only after I settled down and after I understood the complete truth.” Wang Bugui explained slowly.
Then, he stared at his benevolent ‘mother’, explaining, “Even though my warm and caring mother cared about me, she taught me that I cannot be arrogant and condescending.”
“No matter how strong the person is, he will fail if he is too arrogant!”
“What?” Alice was shocked.
They originally believed that they had the upper hand as they conquered Wang Bugui’s heart fast. However, they didn’t expect to make such careless mistakes in the details.
“Goodbye forever!!”
Wang Bugui roared with a low voice before releasing his chaotic spiritual strength, completely destroying this internal demon that he did not wish to destroy.
“I am proud of you…”
As the light dispersed away, Wang Bugui seemed to hear his mother call. In the end, he actually saw that disappearing gentle face smile.
That was the most beautiful smile he had ever seen. The most beautiful person was his kind and caring mother after all. Wang Bugui could not help but longed for that warm and selfless motherly love, which made his heart ache.
“Ah!!!”
Wang Bugui’s calm emotions dissipated as waves of emotions fumbled in his heart. Could it be possible that his real thoughts about his mother appeared in the last moment when his internal demon disappeared?
Could he have killed the wrong spirit? But the spirit did not feel like his mother before. However, why did his heart hurt so much in the end? Why was it so realistic?
After long, he calmed down and he became peaceful again. He collected himself and remained composed.
“Sometimes, those people you lost will forever be gone.”
With a calm expression, Wang Bugui pressed the Taoist sculptures and focused on creating Tao Laws once again. He had passed the stage of his internal demons. The steps after which should be much easier.
The route for his cultivation was long. Even though time was slowed by spells, it still passed fast for him.
In this space, 20 years have passed. All those youngsters outside all had huge accomplishments.
“Is this Greater Power?”
Ning Zhe looked at his own hand and murmured.
“Phew!”
Suddenly, a spiritual wild wind raged beside him as the heaven and earth filled itself with numerous Tao principles. Also, numerous Taoism spirits fell, surprising even Blood Demon King with its pressure.
Further away, Zi Yuxiao smiled and nodded upon seeing that. Lazily and seductively, she explained, “You can finally materialize the power of Taoist laws from ancient historical times.”
“I felt even closer to Taoism now.” Leng Yueyan looked around and explained.
In her eyes, the world was filled with aura, Tao principles and the mind of Tao. Through her movements, she could be combined with Taoism and be undefeated.
Zi Yuxiao shook her head and explained, “This was only the beginning. At the start, Greater Powers learn about how to properly utilize Tao. When they reach their peak, those laws will be at your fingertips.”
“Then, even when you are facing a true immortal, you can retreat if you cannot beat them. Since you have just become a Greater Power, you should familiarize yourself with how you use Tao Law.”
Leng Yueyan and Ning Zhe nodded their heads before sitting on the ground to familiarize themselves with such power.
“It’s pretty impressive that you became a Greater Power from a pinnacle sage in 20 years. Even in Time Immemorial, only true geniuses can reach such a stage in 100 years.”
Blood Demon King nodded satisfyingly. He had witnessed a miracle that had never happened before in history. In the era of the late arts, where there exists poor aura and lack of Tao principles, where Taoism was about to die.
Such a bunch of geniuses appeared mysteriously. If one poured resources into them, each of them can create miracles that suppressed numerous outstanding candidates in the remote ancient times.
“It was indeed difficult for a Greater Power to be met with a breakthrough. Even though I felt that it was obtainable, I cannot break through such a barrier!” Zhao Changge gritted his teeth.
“That’s right, something seemed to be amiss. My understanding of swordsmanship was not significant enough!” Feng Tianming sighed as he caressed Scarlet Heaven Sword.
“It cannot be touched and cannot be seen, but it was impossible to have a breakthrough in your heart.” Chu He shook his head and sighed.
Hearing that, Blood Demon King shook his head and hit their head hard before chiding them angrily. “Do you really think that you can become a Greater Power that easily?!”
“Stop sighing! Even I took 50 years to become a Greater Power. Rather than thinking about such stuff, I shall advise you to cultivate.”
“Two people already succeeded. In these few years, I will beat you one by one if you do not become a Greater Power!”
His words scared the rest and silenced them. They immediately calmed down and focused on understanding Tao Laws.
Then, Blood Demon King turned around smiling. However, he seemed worried when he threw a glance at Wang Bugui, murmuring to himself, “What exactly is this boy doing?”
He was confused. This era had surprised him so much that a matter like Tao Law creation was considered to be easy for Wang Bugui already.
Especially, he knew that this boy was chosen by the pendant, as well as being a true immortal in his previous life. He did not know why he reincarnated previously, with what mindset and motivations, but it was definitely a big deal.
Moreover, Wang Bugui was someone chosen in this life as well. That meant that he was an outstanding genius that shone through history, a man so devilishly talented that he can make numerous geniuses desperate.
Once he completely remembered his previous life, combining Tao Law and fruit of Taoism of the two lives, he would truly be invincible.
“Hope, I am hoping for the best.” Zi Yuxiao sighed.
She was silently praying for Wang Bugui. Even though she knew that all the chosen ones passed through the danger of creating Tao Laws unscathed, some failed as they were not truly the chosen ones.
They were only temporary geniuses who took up the time before the next successful candidate appeared. Many of them created spells but fell during their time as a Greater Power. She was afraid that Wang Bugui would be the same.
Regardless, she told herself to trust him. However, she could not suppress that thought.
Ever since that chaotic storm, Wang Bugui did not move much. Zi Yuxiao and the rest cared for him and were worried about his cultivation and training.
“Clang!”
Another 10 years passed fast. A terrifying sword power sliced the sky open and woke all cultivators up.
They saw Feng Tianming standing in the sky. He slashed out a sword power a thousand miles long, covering the sky on his head.
“Haha! Wooden Sword is a Greater Power now!” Yu Wude laughed.
Those below smiled satisfyingly too. Feng Tianming was the most hardworking then, cultivating his own way while teaching Misawa Chihiro at the same time. He worked on his swordsmanship day and night.
“Hard work definitely brings results. This is to repay Tianming for his diligence!” Chu He smiled.
Feng Tianming turned around slowly in the sky. He smiled at the rest as he clenched his fist towards the sky.
“I know!”
Zhao Changge was the first to respond. The rest followed suit behind him. Everyone lifted up their right fist, a smile appearing on their faces.
Seeing this scene, Blood Demon King felt nostalgic. In his mind, he suddenly remembered scenes before he died.
He had such brothers and sisters as well. They cultivated together and fought together. When one of them was in danger, the rest would all rush over to help regardless of their circumstances and regardless of any consequences.
Regardless of how strong their opponents are, these brothers and sisters fought by his side. When one of them had a breakthrough, they would be happy too.
They would even celebrate by drinking wine and shouting loudly. However, all these were in the past. Time flew and those friends had long died, even with the corpses of some unable to be found.
“Haha, those good times…” Blood Demon King said to himself.
“Why? You have such emotional moments too?” Beside him, Zi Yuxiao asked lazily.
Shaking his head, Blood Demon King laughed bitterly, “Don’t you have such moments too? Those deceased, that God of War who helped you a lot, and that…”
“Enough!”
Zi Yuxiao stopped him and continued, “Those gone cannot be brought back.”
“Since they cannot be brought back, why are you still waiting for him? Is it worth waiting for 9000 years?” Blood Demon King asked.
“Worth it. One day, he will come on auspicious clouds from the nine heavens to marry me.” Zi Yuxiao slowly explained.
“But you are already dead, with only primordial spirit left. How do you marry him? Moreover, you do not know when he will appear. Are you really going to wait until he appears?” Blood Demon King asked.
“I am willing for I already saw a tinge of hope.” Zi Yuxiao eyed him coldly.
“That’s my situation too. You have your desires and I have my memories. My youth and arrogance had long been gone. However, memories warm my heart.” Blood Demon King sighed.
He then laid down hugging his head, with the soft grass as his bed. He slept satisfyingly, where he could truly find his touching memories which made him enthusiastic.
Ever since Feng Tianming succeeded, everyone cultivated more diligently. In the next 20 years, other than Misawa Chihiro who did not know much about Taoism, everyone made a breakthrough to Greater Powers.
Zhao Changge and Lyu Hao had learned the legacies of Zhao Yun and Lyu Bu. They could utilize their weapon spirits more proficiently too, communicating more clearly with the two officials.
As for Yu Wude and Shangguan Yiyi, the Simultaneous Training martial arts were mythical too, breaking through the Greater Powers barrier at the same time for the same day.
In the end, Chu He, after learning immortal martial arts for such a long time, finally made a breakthrough for Greater Power. Other than Leng Yueyan and Ning Zhe, he progressed the most elegantly.
Of course, Misawa Chihiro didn’t waste her time. She cultivated again and was now near the sage’s level. However, her abilities were around that of Greater Power, as she didn’t specialize in Tao Laws.
She focused on her use of the sword. The power of her sword was not any lesser than Feng Tianming.
