Chapter Forty-Nine: Awaiting the Gathering Storm

e events two days later.Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!As for everything else, it was fine. But the news about Bai Gu Dao made his heart skip a beat.He finally met the W...To be frank, the appearance of Lu Qi now has made Jiang Wang, who was already walking on thin ice, feel like his life hangs by a thread.

The patterns on the monk's shaved head, resembling a black lotus, gave him a new understanding of the demon race and the Buddhist teachings within their realm. He increasingly felt that Mount Moyun, where a celestial demon lineage resided, might be more complex than he had initially imagined.

He became more and more certain...that the gathering storm, from many sides, had come together without his noticing.

Did the celestial beings of the demon realm quietly stir the river of fate

Have I already reached the end of my rope, and yet I remain unable to see it

From the powerful demon king, Lu Qi'lang, to the Black Lotus monk, and even the colossal force behind the Black Lotus monk, lurking like a deep-sea reef...

Something must be happening in this city, and he is still unaware of it!

If he were a natural born genius in this world, he would never be so dull!

He was an outsider, after all. The world's rejection was everywhere. Everything he heard, saw, and felt was too limited.

To find a way out of this predicament, to seek that glimmer of hope, one must still rely on the power of the demon race of this world.

But now the road has diverged.

The faceless sect controlled by Lao Xi has reached a bottleneck. The bottleneck lies in what every sect inevitably experiences during its development. As small sects and cults grow to a certain size, they inevitably face power struggles with official institutions. They have to deal with powerful families like the Mo Yun Zhu family and the Ji Lei Niu family.

It goes without saying that faceless teachings do not take blood sacrifices, they don't mistreat believers, and instead guide them towards goodness; this should be considered a righteous religion. The distinction between righteous and heretical religions is not solely based on this, the "Old West Ape" lacks the authority to speak, and for the weak to seize faith is heresy!

And the deity worshipped by this faceless god, after all, does not truly possess the might of the ancient Yama. Behind the Faceless Cult, there is no massive power like that behind the Black Lotus Demon Buddha. Even within the entire Faceless Cult, he, as the only combatant of any worth, wouldn't dare to show his face.

Pig Dali's path of slaying gods and demons also has its bottlenecks, and the bottleneck is now right in front of him. In this solitary journey through the night, he could encounter ferocious beasts lurking in the shadows at any time. Organizations like this Black Lotus Evil Buddha are probably not unique to the demon world. And the Taiping Dao is nothing more than a hollow shell; Pig Dali can only fight alone.

Today he can descend and save Zhu Dali, but tomorrow may not be the case. There will always be those who are too powerful for even him to handle personally.

As the three chariots built by the demon race galloped here, Jiang Wang looked back and found that Chai A Si's path was still the most hopeful. Although this guy had started to inflate too early, with a few knocks and tweaks, he could still manage to drive it.

Chai A Si had never been involved in any wrongdoing before. Even after joining the Hua Guo Hui, he wasn't as cruel as his predecessor, Yuan Yong. He first came into prominence at the Jinyang Martial Arts Tournament and caught the attention of the vast demon race...

This is a typical story of an ordinary genius rising to the top, and it's the grand path for upward mobility in today's social structure.

As long as nothing goes wrong, it will be accepted by the Hua Guo Hui, the Mow Yun Yuan family, the Mow Yun City, and even the entire upper world of the demon race.

Even saying that Jiang Wang himself, in this world, walked this very path. From a country boy, growing into a king and marquis, now looking back at Chai A Si, he couldn't help but feel differently.

What is the nature of society

What is the core of a national system

These profound questions may not have a completely correct answer. However, the thinking that emerges from these questions is an understanding of the nature of the world.

What is true

What is li

Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

Every extraordinary cultivator in their ascent upwards, must always stand on a firm foundation of cognition.

There may not be a universally applicable "correctness," but there is certainly a unique and clear self.

Jiang Wang, who dwells in the world reflected in the mirror, also practices "Tao" through his observations and reflections on the demon realm, approaching that lofty and profound realm.

Zhu Dali's sealing his blade for a month didn't have much of an impact. Firstly, after this period of nourishment, his soul recovered quickly. Secondly, the massive amount of free divine power gained after incinerating the Black Lotus Monk was enough for him to digest for several days.

It was precisely through this digestion of divine power that he came to deeply understand the immensity and unpredictability of the Black Lotus Evil Buddha organization, which led him to decisively have Zhu Dalì seal his sword.

Though his spirit has mostly recovered, the damage to his golden body and jade marrow remains a serious problem.

Just as a jade piece broken is difficult to mend, and gold lacking is hard to supplement.

Daily conditioning continues, but so far my physical body has only recovered to 20%.

Jiang Wang also had the intention to disguise himself, putting on a mask and going out as a peace official or something, to rob and kill a few young prodigies of the demon race, plundering some precious resources back... after all, he still had a shred of rationality.

Then, he sank into quiet contemplation, digesting his divine power and restoring his soul while also keeping an eye on Chai A Si.

The sound of knocking on the door came from outside Chai's small courtyard.

At this time, Chai A Si was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard with his upper body bare. He wielded his sword with each move carefully and earnestly, slashing, thrusting, and parrying without any hesitation. His practice was so intense that he was drenched in sweat, with blood rushing through his veins.

Although he is a sly, lazy and gluttonous fellow with many bad habits, he has been through hardship and poverty and knows that opportunities are hard to come by.

No matter how inflated or aimless, he was still willing to work hard when it came to practicing his skills.

Otherwise, even with the invincible Golden Body passed down by the Great Ancient Gods, it would be impossible for him to achieve success. That was a skill forged through repeated self-flagellation, pure and utter torment of oneself.

Who

His sword never stopped, he only voiced his question.

Now, I would say I've cultivated a certain bearing. My words and deeds are increasingly aligning with those of a true celestial demon.

A crisp voice responded from outside the door: "It's me, Achai."

The aura of the strong instantly dissipated. Chai Ah Siu opened his mouth wide and exclaimed, "Hey hey! Here it comes!"

He rushed into the house, wanting to wipe off his sweat, find a shirt to wear, and tidy up the room. But halfway there, he suddenly had an idea and stopped short, turning back to open the door again. He whirled his sword around with a flourish, letting out a yell as if performing a finishing move in his sword form. At the same time, he secretly channeled his energy, making every muscle bulge even more defined and solid, causing his sweat to flow in beautiful lines.

Only then did he open the courtyard gate, and sure enough, he saw the beautiful and charming Yuan Xiaoqing.

Also accurately captured was the shy and admiring look in Xia Qing's eyes.

The old house was remote, and the alleyway did not see him, demon.

This maiden stood here, her beauty illuminating even this humble alley.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Chai Si used a towel to wipe the sweat from his brow, seeming casual as he said: "Little Qing sister, what brings you here today"

Yan Xiaoqing put her hands behind her back and tilted her head to look at him: "Brother Achong, are you always this hardworking every day"

Her expression was innocent and pure, but this pose made her curves even more graceful and striking.

Chai Si struggled to control his gaze, hoping he could appear like a refined gentleman. However, his heart was beating too fast and he stammered, "Uh, I think about you every day... no, no, not that! I love studying!"

“What are you saying!” Yuan Xiaqing glared and stomped her foot in embarrassment. But stealing a glance at him, she said, “You have never invited me to your place as a guest.”

Chai Si secretly bit his tongue, came to his senses, scratched his head and said: "My humble abode is simple, I'm embarrassed..."

"This place looks nice!" Yuan Xiaoqing walked into the yard with her hands behind her back, looking around curiously. "It's... very neat!"

Chai Ah Si unconsciously closed the courtyard gate and scurried after him.

"Oh, right!" Yuan Xiaoqing suddenly turned her head, almost bumping into Chai A Si, and giggled.

She brought out the lacquered box from behind her and said, “Look, I just bought some dragon-tiger ginseng, it's great for strengthening the body. You’ve been through a lot of battles lately, you could use this.”

Dragon Tiger參 is rare and expensive. I don't know how much effort Yuan Xiaoqing put into finding it, she must have poured almost all her dowry into it.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

However, Chai A Si didn't know what it meant to be embarrassed. He reached out and took it: "How could I possibly..."

...but he had accidentally grasped that soft, jade-like hand.

But the little monkey, Qing, did not struggle.

He didn't let go.

A glance at each other in the courtyard, a moment of silence better than a thousand words.

Chai A Si opened his mouth, just about to say something.

Little Qing had lifted her head, her blushing face resembling a flower in early spring bathed in the glow of the setting sun.

"Ah Chai Ge," her voice was extremely soft, but her eyes held a myriad of emotions like ripples on water: "I heard you've been collecting Buddhist scriptures recently. Are you thinking about becoming a monk"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

After this period of time together, the two demons have fallen deeply in love. Their eyes meet frequently, and they are only one layer of window paper away from crossing the line.

There should have been a bit of a tug-of-war.

But Chai Ah Si started inexplicably collecting Buddhist scriptures, occasionally reciting Buddhist sutras in front of his subordinates, showing a hint of seeing through the world's affairs. This made Yuan Xiaoqing worry, so she came to visit today to see if he truly wanted to become a monk.

“How, how could you, how could you bear to...”

Looking at the beautiful demoness right before him, Chai A Si could only feel his mouth dry and his words failing him.

“What are you not willing to part with” Yuan Xiaqing snorted, “I don’t think you…”

Her lips, a gentle blush that could be roused with the slightest touch, seemed to hold infinite magic.

Let the world be left with only a touch of red.

A buzzing sound echoed in his mind, as if driven by spirits. Chai Si directly lowered his head and started chewing.

Here is the English translation:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“Don’t…Xiao Chai Ge…” Yuan Xiaoqing’s resistance was very weak, her refusal more like encouragement.

Chai Ah Si scooped her up horizontally, never stopping his chatter as he strode passionately into the room.

Of course he was flustered, of course his blood rushed to his head, of course he ignored everything... But the room was too simple after all. He looked up and saw the shrine, and the mirror enshrined inside it.

A skirt flew up and precisely covered the shrine.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

"Um, your excellency..."

A powerful divine spirit, a celestial guardian who watched over the environment and protected the world from malicious beings, suddenly heard a voice accompanied by labored breathing.

The Venerable One did not respond at that time.

The majesty of God did not permit him to respond.

>

But Chai Si's inner voice wouldn't give up: "Mmm... Master"

What the hell is going on with you

If you have to fart, just go for it.

"Let go!"

In the end, the Master only sent back this one character.

"Can you please not look"

The great ancient god roared in anger: “What are you talking about! Is there any reason for this! Who do you think I am Would I stoop to spying on a mere little demon like you Throughout the myriad worlds and eons of time, I have seen it all. I’ve long since stopped caring about such petty things! You don't understand at all how lowly the desire for physical pleasure is. You ignorant little demon, how could you possibly comprehend the wonders of the Dao!”

"That..." Chai Si gasped inwardly, "Is there...any double-rest magical method...that kind that can lead to enlightenment Could you teach me a few"

Beast! Get out!

Of course, the great ancient gods would not be so embarrassed. In the end, they only remained silent, temporarily severing the connection.

The seventh-ranked Tianbang new king, Lu Qilang, personally arrived in Mowun City.

This news caused a stir throughout the vast urban area.

Zhuge, the prominent young master of the Zhuge clan, hosted a banquet at Feiyunlou, the most luxurious building in the city. Yu Xin and Yuan Mengji, the two prodigious talents among the Three Heroes of Moyun, were also present, paying their respects with utmost humility.

Ince Hwang, who desperately wants to replace In-jae's position, is even busier than ever, wagging his tail back and forth.

Even the young princess Zhu Lanruo from the Heavenly Spider Mother's household appeared at Feiyun Tower to drink and chat with him!

Who is Lu Qi'lang, this demon

That was Yuanshi City's young master, the first genius of the Shenxiang Lu family, the largest power in the Shenxiang Huhai!

In the demon realm, only the most powerful families in a particular area are eligible to name it after themselves. The size of the place name often reflects the strength of the family.

As for the families that the Three Great Talents of the Mo Yun belong to, they can only be called the Mo Yun Yu family, the Mo Yun Yuan family, and the Mo Yun Quan family.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Only the Zhu family is qualified to call themselves the "Heavenly Breath Spider Clan" outside.

That means the most powerful family name on the Heavenly Exhalation Wasteland.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

The Shenxiang Lu family is stronger than the Tianxi Zhu family, not only because the Lady of the Heavenly Spiders generally doesn't concern herself with Mo Yun City affairs, but also because the ancestor of the Shenxiang Lu family sits in Shenxiang Huhai. Moreover, the overall strength of the Lu family is one of the best in the entire demon world.

Top-tier combat strength need not be mentioned.

Lu Qiulang ranked seventh in the Tianbang New King list, even surpassing Tianhai Wang Shishuan. You know, Tianhai Wang Shishuan is a direct descendant of An Xuan, the Heavenly Demon Lion! The profound foundation of the Shenxiang Lu family can be seen at a glance.

Even the erstwhile King Luqi of Zhoushan, who had fallen to ruin in the Frostwind Valley and was stripped of his royal title, hailed from the Divine Incense Deer clan.

Thus, with such a high-ranking son arriving in Moyun City, it's no wonder the city is bustling.

“Come, come, Lu Shao, have a drink of my Moyun fine wine!” At this moment, Zhu Zhen showed no coldness whatsoever. Her beautiful eyes were filled with enthusiasm: “Our Lanruo doesn't often go out!”

Although it was his feast, the seat of honor was not occupied by him, but by Zhu Lanruo and Lu Qilang sitting opposite each other.

Why wasn't he close enough in bloodline to the Heavenly Spider Empress

If the spider lily comes, he can only take second place.

Lu Qilang didn't care about the undercurrents here. He raised his cup and took a sip, then casually said, "Will Miss Lanruo not participate in this year's Jinyangtai Martial Arts Tournament"

Though she casually toyed with her jade cup, Zhu Lanruo's sideways profile was enough to reveal her breathtaking beauty to the assembled demons. Even a glimpse of her grace and loveliness painted a picture of ultimate elegance.

"The city of Mo Yun has its own talented people. It's just that they are not well-known to me." She said softly: "Speaking of which, Young Master Lu traveled thousands of miles to kill the snake in She Gu and saved Yu, which can be considered a great feat in the world. Besides, as soon as you arrive in the city of Mo Yun, you help the city eliminate evil. Lan Ru should offer you a cup."

Lu Qilang didn't participate in the Jinyangtai Martial Arts Tournament. He didn't need to prove himself in such a place anymore. As for the so-called Three Realms Grand Gathering, even throughout the entire demon world, it wasn't a big deal.

Although Zhu Lan's reason was merely a light brushstroke, the pride in her heart jumped right out. If you, Lu Qi, look down on such grand events, does that mean I, Zhu Lan, would appreciate them

Although you are ahead of me now, taking a step forward, I am still here.

Taking this world as a high platform, and all nations as a battleground!

“You’re toasting a bit early, aren't you” Rokujiro said calmly. “After all, Snake-Gumo hasn’t been punished yet.”

“With Lord Lu’s abilities, that wouldn't be a matter of if but when, would it” Zhu Zheng let out a booming laugh. “If you have anything you need help with, please just say the word. Here in the Tianxi Wasteland, our Zhu family still carries some weight.”

Lu Qi'lang smiled and said, "Sounds good."

Then Zhu Lan smiled, "So Lord Lu's journey is only for the sake of She Gu Yu"

Lu Qi'lang looked at Zhu Lanruo, in this place only the two of them had the qualifications to talk as equals, and only they two knew what the other was saying.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The so-called hidden meaning is in the music.

The aroma of wine lingered in the air as he slowly said, “I have a vague feeling that this place, on this desolate wasteland of Tianxi, might just be...Mo Yun City. Perhaps here, I will find my destiny.”

Sitting in the inferior seat, Genmu was very unhappy. He considered this statement to be a confession of love from Shiro to the spider orchid. But he didn't dare say anything.

Although the Heavenly Demon Ape Xian Ting are undoubtedly powerful figures, they ultimately operate alone. They are not direct descendants of the royal family, merely beneficiaries of ancestral favors that cannot sustain their extravagance.
