“Ah! Who is this? Ah, it’s you, Mengmeng. Why are you so late?”
Chen Chuan fell into the water. He looked up, finding that it was Mengmeng, and then laughed.
“Mengmeng.”
“Mengmeng.”
The little kids all shouted in a clear voice.
“Hi there,” Mengmeng said while waving to them in an adult way.
But…
In the crowd, someone called her “Auntie Mengmeng”.
Mengmeng looked at them for a while but didn’t find who called her that way. Then she snorted and jumped into the underwater passage.
She thought that the games in the magic paradise were exciting at first, and would like to play them several times a day. However, she found them not so attractive after she played for many times.
But it was good to play there in her spare time.
She started having water fights with children after kicking them into the water one by one. She was more child-like than Chen Chuan.
In the distance, Zhang Han, who was refining treasures under the thunder yang tree, smiled slightly seeing that scene.
In the past, that kind of relaxing and leisurely cultivating life was simply unimaginable in the Cultivation World.
After playing for quite a while, Mengmeng returned to the castle. Then she took a shower, had dinner, and started playing video games with her friends. Later, she went to bed at 11 o’clock as she had to go to school the next day. She should focus on studying during the last week to pass the final exam.
When she was asleep, Zi Yan and Zhang Han were still awake.
“Are you ready?” Zi Yan dressed in sportswear asked.
“Yes, can we get some from him?” Zhang Han said.
“Of course, leave it to me,” Zi Yan said with confidence.
“Haha, okay,” Zhang Han said and laughed.
He found that when Zi Yan could cultivate, to be exact, when she became a cultivator and could launch very powerful attacks, she felt much better and was much more lively than before. He wanted nothing but that Zi Yan and Mengmeng could be happy.
“Let’s go,” Zi Yan said. She jumped down from the balcony with Zhang Han hand in hand.
Zhang Mu who had just returned was drinking tea with Zhang Guangyou, Gai Xingkong, and Dong Chen in the pavilion under the thunder yang tree.
They also decided to go with Zhang Han and Zi Yan after knowing that they were going out to ask for gifts.
“Where are we going?” Zhang Guangyou asked.
“To the sea,” Zhang Han said. He led them to fly in the sky quickly toward the deep sea. After more than half an hour, they stopped in front of a very small island. At that time, it turned very dark as the moon was blocked by the dark clouds in the sky.
“Sea Moon Fan,” Zi Yan murmured and struck with the huge fan in her left hand toward the sea from above. After the energy reached hundreds of meters downward and disappeared, its aftermath turned into a gust of fierce wind which blew away a large part of the black clouds in the sky, making the moon visible again. The moonlight shone through the wide sky, looking like a huge light column, mysterious and quiet.
“Yue Wuwei, are you there?” Zi Yan said but got no response.
Then she struck downward again with the Sea Moon Fan.
“Boom! Boom!”
The island was directly smashed into pieces. The energy went downward and caused huge waves. The space between the sea and the sky was filled with its aftermath.
Zi Yan did not stop striking very soon until her energy reached downward for more than a hundred meters. It caused a huge tsunami as an earthquake did.
It took the continuous joint efforts of Zhang Guangyou and Dong Chen to make the sea calm.
“You haven’t come out yet?” Zi Yan asked and curled her lips. When she was about to strike with both her hands, a Light Gate appeared ten meters away from her with a buzz, and then Yue Wuwei came out with a gloomy face.
“What are you doing?” He looked at Zhang Han with a grim expression and snorted, then looked at Zi Yan with a bitter smile and said, “You naughty girl, why do you start striking again?”
“You won’t come out if I don’t strike,” Zi Yan replied.
“Haven’t I given you a pearl? Oh, it’s with your daughter,” Yue Wuwei said and patted his forehead.
“Yue Wuwei, you know that I am the friend of your master. For friendship, you shouldn’t refuse me,” Zi Yan said with a smile.
Yue Wuwei patted his forehead and said, “I just found out what you came for. Fine. Tell me, how many do you want?”
“Have you given them to Dahei and Little Hei?” Zi Yan didn’t answer but asked.
“Yes,” Yue Wuwei said with hesitation.
“My husband wants five,” Zi Yan said.
“What?” Yue Wuwei said in surprise.
“Too many?” Zi Yan asked.
“Well…” Yue Wuwei gave Zhang Han an irritated look and said, “Are they useful for him? Since…”
After seeing Zi Yan’s harsh gaze, Yue Wuwei smiled awkwardly. “Since he has reached the Elixir Realm Early-Stage and can directly battle with the cultivator at the Elixir Realm Peak-Stage, he’s very strong even without these.”
“I happen to lack the Source Property recently.” Zhang Han suddenly smiled.
“You do? You don’t even lack powerful supernatural power. Why do you still want Source? Wait, you know the Source Property?” Yue Wuwei asked in surprise.
It was incredible that he even knew about that. He should have got the complete martial arts heritage of a predecessor at the ninth-tier Tribulation Stage.
Generally, the martial arts heritage of a predecessor referred to a kind of skill or sets of cultivation methods. Yue Wuwei didn’t take what Zhang Han had obtained seriously, but to his surprise, Zhang Han seemed to know a lot.
“Well, Mu Xue has got the fourth-tier Source Energy of Demonic Evil Spirit. And Dahei and Little Hei have obtained the fourth-tier Source Energy of Heavy Sea Tide, right?” Zhang Hanyang asked.
Yue Wuwei, “…”
He got dumbfounded for a while and said, “Zhang Hanyang, I really underestimated you. I didn’t expect you to know that. Is there anything else you don’t know? Are you really my master’s son?”
Zhang Guangyou said, “I am not your master.”
Yue Wuwei glanced at Zhang Guangyou and said, “Among the three generations of members of your family, oh no, four generations, you are the least gifted. Don’t slip in.”
Hearing Yue Wuwei’s harsh words, Zhang Guangyou felt so embarrassed and didn’t know how to respond.
“How can you talk to my dad like that?” Zi Yan said with a murderous look suddenly flashing in her eyes.
“Hiss!”
Yue Wuwei lowered his voice.
“It’s true that everything has its vanquisher.”
Yue Wuwei who didn’t take Zhang Han seriously could do nothing with Zi Yan.
“Well, forget what I said,” Yue Wuwei said in frustration.
“Tut-tut, only you can deal with him!” Zhang Guangyou praised Zi Yan, giving her a thumbs-up and grinning from ear to ear.
“Just tell you, I need the Source of the Five Elements,” Zhang Han said directly.
Yue Wuwei frowned and said, “Five Elements? Five kinds of Sources. If you can’t absorb them, they will dissipate.”
“So I refined a Spirit Sealing Pill,” Zhang Han said and took out one medicinal pellet.
“You have even refined a sixth-tier medicinal pellet here?” Yue Wuwei couldn’t believe his eyes. “It seems that you’re prepared.”
After taking the sixth-tier Spirit Sealing Pill, the cultivator could temporarily seal the Source Energy in his dantian. Such a medicinal pellet was priceless in the Cultivation World. So Yue Wuwei didn’t expect that Zhang Han had even refined it.
“Fine, I’ll give you those five kinds of Source Energy,” Yue Wuwei said. Just as he was pondering and holding a star pearl in his right palm, Zhang Han suddenly asked, “There must be the second-tier Source Energy on the Saint Warrior Planet, right?”
“Stop joking. You can only get the third-tier Source Energy at most.” Yue Wuwei froze for an instant and said, “You want too much.”
“The third-tier will also work.” Zhang Han smiled and said, “Thank you for your kindness, Master Yue.”
“You don’t need to thank me. I give them to you all for your wife’s sake.” Yue Wuwei curled his lips and said, “There are five kinds of third-tier Sources, Yang Core Flame, Illusory Gold, Pear Facies Tree, Soul Water, and Yellow Lake Earth. Are you sure you want them? If you absorb and mix them with your supernatural power, you may miss the ninth trial on the Lost Continent. If you fail to be the Heavenly Lord, you won’t have another chance.”
“How long before it starts?” Zhang Han asked.
“More than half a month, after the Spring Festival,” Yue Wuwei replied.
“That’s enough,” Zhang Han said.
“You’re really confident,” Yue Wuwei said. Without saying anything more, he called up those five kinds of Source Energy by waving his hand.
Then Zhang Han directly took the medicinal pellet without hesitation and stretched out his right hand to absorb the Sources and sealed them around the Elixir.
“Don’t refine too many items. Your skills… make me feel uncomfortable. Don’t forget your Thunder Technique,” Yue Wuwei said.
“Thunder Technique?”
Zhang Han looked at him and asked, “Do you know the Thunder Technique?”
“I don’t know. If you can get the title of the Heavenly Lord, you may have the chance to practice it. The Thunder Technique is also rare in the Cultivation World. The Heavenly Lightning Punishment is unpredictable and the power of heaven is irresistible. However, once you master the Thunder Technique, the lightning punishment will be nothing to you,” Yue Wuwei said.
“Do you think I can be the Heavenly Lord?” Zhang Han asked casually.
“I am not sure.” Yue Wuwei shook his head. “Zi Yan certainly can’t be the Heavenly Lord because she is detached from this world. All the other cultivators have the chance and yours is bigger since the martial arts heritage you have got is… more powerful. It depends entirely on luck but not under my control. If it’s under my control, I won’t give it to you.”
“Well, I am going back to sleep if you have nothing else to talk to me,” Yue Wuwei muttered and waved his hand to open the Light Gate. When he was about to leave, Zi Yan said to him in a hurry, “Just wait a second.”
“What’s wrong?” Yue Wuwei looked at her warily and asked.
“Since you’ve given Sources to Dahei and Little Hei, why can’t you give them to my parents? Though my parents haven’t cultivated to a certain stage, my father-in-law who has reached the Elixir Realm needs that. Filial piety tops all virtues. Do you want me to be unfilial?” Zi Yan asked with a smile.
Zhang Guangyou smiled happily!
While Yue Wuwei just smiled bitterly and said, “Fine, you are totally right.” Then he directly took out a fourth-tier Source Property.
“Master Yue.” Dong Chen smiled dryly and said, “Does this mean that everyone at present has a share? I’m not so talented but reached the Elixir Realm a few days ago. Hehe…”
Dong Chen was very experienced in taking advantage and he could tell that Yue Wuwei had a lot of Sources, so he spoke hurriedly.
Yue Wuwei glanced at him grumpily and said, “You could just waste the Source at such level of cultivation.”
“Though I can’t compare with you, I have at least reached the Elixir Realm. Besides, we are in a quite similar position since you are the housekeeper of the Saint Warrior Planet and I am the housekeeper of the Heavenly Knights Sect. Your master has a friend in our Heavenly Knights Sect, so we are also friends,” Dong Chen said.
Yue Wuwei said coldly, “Cut it out.”
“Ahem.” Zi Yan made a sound.
Then Yue Wuwei took out the fourth-tier Source Energy and said, “Take it.”
“Thank you, Brother Yue.” Dong Chen immediately cupped his hands and thanked him politely.
“You don’t need that.” Yue Wuwei looked at Gai Xingkong and said, “It’s not the right time yet for you. You can’t benefit from it. Don’t say that everyone at present has a share. Stop bothering me.”
“Master Yue, be good to the end. Since you’ve given out all those Sources, just give me some more. Besides, only one of my husband’s three disciples, Mu Xue, got the Source. Other two disciples Zhao Feng and Jiang Yanlan, our Grandpa Zhang Mu, Ah Hu, Instructor Liu, Xu Yong, Leng Yue, Elder Meng, Yun Feiyan, Wang Xiaowu, and Jiang Bing… also need some.”
“Stop it. I don’t have that many. You will just waste them.” Yue Wuwei got impatient and said, “I won’t give you any more.”
“Master Yue, be good to the end.” Zi Yan reminded him seriously, “See, so many have been given out. It doesn’t matter if you give us more.”
Yue Wuwei’s expression changed several times. In the end, he compromised and said, “You should promise that this is the last time you ask the Sources from me. Since there are so many people in the Heavenly Knights Sect and Mount New Moon, it’s impossible for everyone to have a Source.”
“Thank you, Master Yue.” Zi Yan immediately said with a smile, “You don’t have to give a Source to everyone but just to those who are in need in your mind. Anyway, we believe in you.”
“Hey, why do you call me Master Yue when you need me and just call me Yue Wuwei when you don’t need me? Fine, I’ll just satisfy you guys. Zhang Hanyang should know which kind of Source Energy you guys need,” Yue Wuwei said with a bitter smile.
“Yes, you can just allocate the Sources for us,” Zhang Han nodded and said.
“Then I will give Jiang Yanlan the Red Cloud Fire Source to help her integrate her bloodline power since she has good talent and is the candidate for the trial on the Lost Continent. I will give Zhao Feng the Demon Wood Source Energy to match his movements in martial arts. Since I’m not familiar with Zhang Mu’s movements, I’ll give him the Purple Yang Qi Source Energy. Leng Yue doesn’t seem to be high-profile and her movements are mainly secret, so I’ll give her the Shadowless Flower Source Energy. Besides, I will give the same Profound Yang Stone Source to Instructor Liu, Ah Hu, Xu Yong, and Elder Meng, and give the Dark Dragon Heart Source Energy to Chen Changqing. Others don’t need Sources since they have no solid cultivation and haven’t mastered secret skills well. Is that ok?” Yue Wuwei kept touching the pearl in his hand, looked up at Zhang Han, and asked him.
“Sure.” Zhang Han answered.
“Thank you and have a good sleep, Master Yue.” Zi Yan also waved her hand at Yue Wuwei with satisfaction.
“Sleep? I can’t even breathe after losing so many Sources. I gotta go,” Yue Wuwei said to them and walked into the Light Gate.
Then they were immersed in thoughts.
“We really owe him big this time.” Zhang Han sighed.
“Honey, how precious is the Source Energy?” Zi Yan asked.
“It could only be used at the Tribulation Stage and is very precious in the Cultivation World.” Zhang Han replied, “It can be seen that he gave Zhao Feng and the others just for your sake.”
Zhao Feng, Jiang Yanlan, Mu Xue, Dahei, Little Hei, the Five-Tiger Generals, as well as Leng Yue, Zhang Mu, Zhang Guangyou, and Dong Chen were all close to Zhang Han and Zi Yan. It was obvious whether he gave them Sources for her sake.
“Then I won’t strike so casually in the future to not bother him so much,” Zi Yan pursed her lips and said.
“Hahaha.” Zhang Han laughed and said, “No…”
Before he could finish his words, the Light Gate appeared again in front of them, and Yue Wuwei came out.
“Eh?”
Zi Yan said with a confused look, “Why do you come out again? Are you eavesdropping on us?”
“Of course not.” Yue Wuwei touched his beard and said, “I forgot to tell you that you guys who got the Source Energy should all take part in the trial on the Lost Continent. You should absorb the Source Energy as soon as possible to get ready for it. Besides, during the trial on the Lost Continent, there are not only 100 people from the Saint Warrior Planet but also many top forces from the Sea Dragon Star Area. On the Lost Continent, cultivators can not only take part in the trial competing for being the Heavenly Lord but also get many cultivation resources. For those people from the Sea Dragon Star Area, it is also an adventure because if they are not careful, they may die there. Of course, you guys will be safe if you stay close to Zi Yan all along as the balance in that place relies on the energy from the Saint Warrior Planet.”
Yue Wuwei went into the Light Gate again after telling them about that.
“There should be cultivators from the Sea Dragon Star Area on the Lost Continent. Funny.” Zhang Guangyou said with expectation, “We can finally go out and see the world this time.”
“Han, do you know the Sea Dragon Star Area?” Zhang Mu suddenly asked, “From your conversation with Yue Wuwei, you seem to be familiar with it.”
“I am familiar with that place indeed.” Zhang Han thought for a moment and slowly replied, “On the Sea Dragon Star Area, there are not only humans but also other clans like the Dark Shadow Clan, the martial artists in the Ancient Mine. If the Saint Warrior Planet is not sealed, there will be definitely a batch of cultivators of the Dark Shadow Clan at the Tribulation Stage. As the favorite of the Saint Warrior Planet, the Dark Shadow Clan is very compatible with it. In addition to the Dark Shadow Clan, there are countless races in the sky. The Sea Dragon Star Area is large to the extent that you can’t even imagine. You will know then. As the guardian of the Saint Warrior Planet, Yue Wuwei is able to send people out but isn’t in a hurry. Cultivators at the Elixir Realm Last-Stage can’t be regarded as so powerful ones in the Sea Dragon Star Area. Besides, most of us even have not reached the Elixir Stage. So it is still early for us to go to the Sea Dragon Star Area. Maybe when Mengmeng is on holiday, we will get two months to travel to the Sea Dragon Star Area.”
“Hahaha, Mengmeng will look forward to going there if she knows,” Zhang Guangyou said and laughed.
Zi Yan pursed her lips and said with a smile, “Then we’ll keep her unaware now but take her directly to the Lost Continent to surprise her.”
“I think that’s good,” Zhang Han laughed and said.
“Let’s go back. I feel dizzy now.” Zhang Mu touched his head and said, “I can’t hold the energy I got just now and have to go back to absorb it. I feel that I can reach the peak of the Elixir Stage after I totally absorb it. This time, Zi Yan has done a good job. You are the… benefactor of the Zhang Clan.”
Zhang Mu remembered everything Zi Yan had done. He didn’t expect that she even avenged his wife’s death and asked such a precious treasure for him. He really got moved.
“Grandpa, I’m your granddaughter-in-law. Don’t be so courteous or I’ll be embarrassed. I am glad to do that for all of you,” Zi Yan said obediently.
“Let’s go back. From tomorrow on, I will refine the Source Energy,” Zhang Han said as he put his arms around Zi Yan’s waist, then flew quickly to Mount New Moon with that group of people.
