Return Of The Monarch - Chapter 32 Two Months

Starryfu.

In the blink of an eye, two months have quickly passed since Feng Hui’s discovery of the Immortal.

Time was relentless. Within this time, Earth’s population dwindled to a mere fraction of its former glory. With less than five million survivors remaining in the entirety of China. The monsters continued to outnumber the humans day by day.

In this time, Feng Hui had successfully reached the pure-gold core. Having devoured the vital Qi of tens of thousands of monsters, the stunning core residing within his vast dantian flickered with strands of beautiful golden light.

That’s right. In just two months, Feng Hui achieved the grand-perfection stage for the Bronze Dragon realm. In other words, the highest level in the Core Formation realm. This signified that he could move about completely unhindered across those of the same realm!

Swiftly, Feng Hui had blazed through the various core levels with ease. Over time, the spherical core experienced numerous colors: white, yellow, orange, red, violet, and black. At last, his core eventually reached the uppermost levelpure gold!

In the Dragon Continent, the vast majority of cultivators could never even go beyond the Foundation Establishment stage; thus, Feng Hui’s monstrous talent could easily be imagined.

Furthermore, countless cultivators were stuck at the pseudo Core Formation realm forever. The concept of forming a core was too profound. Within the Eastern Worldthe name of the world which contained the vast Dragon Continent: Feng Hui was the sole cultivator who achieved the pure-gold core. It was regarded as a myth!

To cultivate was too difficult. To understand the unfathomable process of reaching grand-perfection in the Core Formation realm had not been done before.

For the vast majority of cultivators, it was not worth it either! With the slightest of mistakes, a future could be destroyed in the blink of an eye! This was a death sentence in the Eastern World that revered the strong and devoured the weak.

Therefore, for those who could form a core, the popular road was to progress at the white corethe weakest level.

With a cold heart, Feng Hui had walked through nearly everywhere within Starryfu alongside Sun Yi. It was a common occurrence for countless survivors to beg them for help; however, the answer would always remain the same.

“No.” The two of them never promised to help the large groups. The sole time Feng Hui somewhat assisted was with a trio of children who displayed their unwavering will to survive.

In these two months, to Feng Hui’s surprise, the portals above the yellow level were still locked. The reason was a mystery.

Furthermore, Sun Yi uncovered an unfortunate finding. During this time, he could not progress.

Sun Yi could not increase his stats any further using the yellow points. Thus, all of his stats remained stuck at the ninety-nine mark at the yellow level.

While Feng Hui was devouring the vital Qi of over ten orcs, there was a sudden screech behind him.

“Finally, I’ve found the f*ckers who ruined my life: Feng Hui and Sun Yi!”

Stationed in the lobby of the five-star Tiantong Hotel, an extremely handsome man at an idol-level was ruthlessly staring at a pair of two men.

“Liu Jun?’ Sun Yi sneered, and he stared back.

In the fifty-story Tiantong Hotel, beside the three men, there were no other living beings. In a short time, Feng Hui had cleared out every floor. Along with Sun Yi, it was a simple feat.

“If it wasn’t for the two of you, Ah Xue would still be alive! You f*cking bitches.” At last, Liu Jun discovered the location of the enemies of his nightmares. Every day, he dreamed of torturing these two demons.

Hearing the death of Qian Xue, Feng Hui’s mood remained stagnant. In the Dragon Continent, he had seen far too much death, after all.

“How about Xie Na?” Feng Hui asked out of the blue.

In response, Liu Jun sneered at the black-robed man, “So, you care about that little b*tch instead? Guess what, she’s f*cking dead too! If you cared, why didn’t you help us?! You could have easily saved us!”

“I see.” Feng Hui responded without the trace of a single ripple in his calm voice. It was merely out of curiosity.

Seeing Feng Hui’s emotionless eyes, Liu Jun’s fury and resentment flared to new heights. He knew it! It was all because of these two that his life was ruined. If it wasn’t for the two of them, Qian Xue and Huang Dong would still be alive!

If the two of them had merely offered a helping hand at the time, their future could have been different! Liu Jun was resentful of the two, but he never stopped to acknowledge his own faults. The entire time, he was too selfish in his actions. This led to the disastrous consequence of the ‘Party Hunt’ mission!

“You f*cking bitch!” Liu Jun screamed with blood-shot eyes, and he charged at the black-robed man with flickering sparks of purple lightning in his hands.

“Upper-level lightning talent?” Feng Hui couldn’t even bother moving. Standing still, he waited for the university student’s attack.

“You two killed Ah Xue!” Seeing the black-robed man’s disdain, Liu Jun’s eyes turned even crazier. With a heart full of pain, he sent agile daggers of lightning toward the heart and neck of Feng Hui.

“I do admit that I could have helped.” Feng Hui’s eyes flashed. Utilizing his Qi which flickered with beautiful golden lights, he calmly tore apart the flying daggers of lightning.

“In the end, however, it’s still your fault. You willingly walked into trouble. In the first place, I’m not obligated to help.” With a calm voice, Feng Hui declared impassively.

“Wrong! You should have helped us! Why did you help Xie Na’s family before then?!” Hearing the black-robed man’s retort, Liu Jun became even more enraged, and he roared.

Recalling his prior assistance, Feng Hui shook his head. Of course, there were reasons. Living for years as the emperor influenced his mindset, he disdained the fact that it was his presence which affected the safety of the family.

Nevertheless, Feng Hui was silent in regard to Liu Jun’s fury. It was of no value to attempt to speak sense into the madman anyway. By this stage, the man’s resentment was the sole thing keeping him going.

Without it, Liu Jun would become a lifeless shell. Reaching that stage, he would be better off dead. Feng Hui understood the pain of living a meaningless life the best. In the Dragon Continent, he was no more than a shadow of his former self. Happiness couldn’t be measured with power and status.

Seeing Feng Hui’s silence, Liu Jun was about to faint in rage. With a loud scream, he screeched, “If the two of you didn’t clear basically every monster within Xinlong Paradise, we could have lived! We wouldn’t have even required your help!”

“Incorrect.” Once again, Feng Hui shook his head. If that was the case, the system would have declared a different mission. In the end, such stupid people were destined to die sooner or later.

“Vent your fury in hell, Liu Jun.” Examining the blackened soul of the university student, Feng Hui calmly stated.

Suddenly, Feng Hui’s eyes flickered with wonderful strands of Qi. In a split second, the university student collapsed onto the hard floor as a result, and he fell into a dream: one that he would never wake up from. Perhaps, the man could have a decent dream.

In reality, this miracle did occur. Liu Jun dreamed about his beautiful childhood with his two friends. For two continuous months, he was ceaselessly longing for Qian Xue and Huang Dong. This took a massive toll on his heart. When he distinguished the beautiful figures of his two friends, he cried with tears of joy.

“It’s a pity.” Examining the unmoving figure of the university student, Feng Hui sighed.

If the apocalypse didn’t occur, most of these lost lives could have had a beautiful future. Unfortunately, the world doesn’t work like that. Peace was a fragile concept; nothing was certain to last forever.

Without a hint of emotion on his face, Feng Hui glanced at the red-haired Sun Yi.

Sun Yi nodded at the silent words, and the two of them left the enormous Tiantong Hotel. In the end, the two of them did not end Liu Jun’s life. That would be the duty of the monsters. Perhaps, the university student could have a longer dream then.

Outside the hotel, Feng Hui took a long, dragged-out breath on the streets.

Examining the vast piles of human corpses around him, Feng Hui closed his eyes.
for visiting.

“I’ve thought about this for far too long.” For the entire last two months, Feng Hui was contemplating whether he should devour the vital Qi of human corpses.

Looking at the bigger picture, these two short months were a fleeting moment. In theory, becoming an Immortal and being able to traverse worlds would take an unprecedented amount of time.

Furthermore, these two months had no effect on the overall time he would require to become an Immortal. The entire duration, Feng Hui was looking for inspiration on how to attain the mythological Immortal realm for once he returned to his former realm. For him, to find the sufficient Qi to return to the Golden Dragon realm would take days at most. The difficult part was understanding the process to breakthrough to the Immortal realm; nevertheless, he was trying his best to search for the ‘correct’ route to go about this.

Feng Hui’s fleshy body did not need to be at the Golden Dragon realm in order for him to discover the correct route he should take! The strength of his soul was at the Golden Dragon realm; thus, his soul had been instinctively looking to achieve the next step from the startthe Immortal realm.

Of course, Feng Hui would never willingly end a human life just to absorb their life essence. However, these humans were already dead. Killed by the monsters.

Day by day, Feng Hui walked past over millions of human corpses. Finally, he could not bear to delay his revenge any longer. Going against his life morals and promise, he grit his teeth.

Feng Hui had to save his mother, after all! Recalling the memories of the lemure, there was a near-certain chance that his mother was in the Immortal’s homeworld.

Luckily, from the lemure’s memories, Feng Hui was confident that his mother would remain safe in the other world; thus, his mind wasn’t desperate to its utmost limits. Seemingly, the Immortal had other plans.

“Nevertheless, Mom’s fast, safe return is much more important.” Sitting cross-legged, Feng Hui closed his eyes. To the side, Sun Yi did not say anything; instead, the red-haired man silently watched. In the past two months, it was a common occurrence for his friend to randomly sit cross-legged.

Extending his vast spiritual sense, Feng Hui sensed the overwhelming abundance of vital Qi from tens of thousands of human corpses. The innumerable number of human lives lost could be associated with nothing in history.

With a thought, Feng Hui began devouring the infinite amounts of vital Qi. Pushing the Ancient Dragon Manual to its limits, he took in everything.

Swiftly, Feng Hui noticed his body inching closer and closer toward the Crystal Dragon realm. With his flawless foundation and pure-gold core, he was incomparably relaxed. Understanding the laws of the realm, he peacefully closed his eyes.

Recalling everything, Feng Hui rapidly discerned the strength of his body nearing the Crystal Dragon realm. Finally, he would be able to influence the laws of Earth without his body falling apart.

In reality, it was solely to influence! To fully control the laws of the world, Feng Hui had to reach the Golden Dragon realm first.

Soon, time slowly passed. In less than an hour, Feng Hui’s starry eyes shot open. It was a success! Furthermore, there was still an abundance of vital Qi left over. The entire nation was an everlasting buffet.

Reaching the Crystal Dragon realm, Feng Hui noticed his body emitting an ‘otherworldly’ glow. This was the benefit of a body being able to fully contain the strength of a ‘Nascent Soul.’ In reality, his soul was at the Golden Dragon realm, but his body could not encompass its entire glory yet.

To an earthling, Feng Hui’s appearance was akin to a deity.
