391 THE HUN MANOR’S MARTIAL COMPETITION
Li Meng and the four avatars were very busy practising on the 5th floor. The Keeper was regulating the artefact with full force to absorb every bit of nether energy thread available in the air. The process continued for a long time until a small pothole of nether Liquid was formed within the Crimson-lord world.
” How long before you can collect a substantial amount of energy so that I can cultivate in my hell arts within the emperor realm?” Li Meng asked.
“I don’t have a specific idea, but the two-month-long period should be enough for us to collect enough Nether Fluid to help in your cultivation. until the intermediate Qi Emperor level.” The Keeper said.
” Just the intermediate Qi Emperor level. I would have to come back here before I could break into the Qi Monarch stage in that case.” Li Meng said.
“Well, I have a suggestion if you would like to follow it.” The Keeper said.
“What is it?” Leon asked.
“Well, you could just leave one of the avatars here to cultivate within the Hell-plane itself.” The Keeper said.
” Are you insane? If I leave an avatar in here, our connection would be lost completely.” Li Meng said.
“That is where you are wrong. You underestimate the Crimson Lord artifact too much. Do you think distance is something that could break the artifact’s connection with its user’s body? When I say that the damage was done to the artifact, its inherent quality isn’t destroyed. It is something that far surpasses this world you live in.” The Keeper said.
.....
“The avatar would still be connected with the artifact but you might feel like a loss of connection due to your small strength. Once you reach the Qi Dominator level, you should be able to re-establish the connection with the avatar even if it is present in a different world than yours.” The Keeper said.
” Also, if an avatar is present here, the artifact would be able to absorb energy from hell directly too.”
Li Meng thought about the suggestion for some time before finding it feasible. Ideally, it would be best to leave the avatar containing the Yin-seed within the hell-plane, but Li Meng was an inheritor marked by both the inheritance he had gathered and his master. There is no way the mark can be replicated onto another avatar.
Hence, he decided to use one of the avatars who had broken through the Qi Emperor level within the Hell-plane to stay here.
Li Meng decided to go to the highest possible level and train there to let the yin seed grow as much as possible before he returns to his world.
He had two months and if he invested all the hell-shards he had collected by massacring the people around here, he could stay within the seventh floor for the duration.
” Since we are going to leave one or two avatars here, why not let the Yin-seed grow as much as possible here.”
Li Meng came out and checked into the seventh floor. The receptionist looked at him with shocked eyes. His previously courteous behavior had turned into deep politeness. A figure who wanted to rent the seventh floor for two whole months must be the young master of a very powerful force.
Li Meng proceeded to the room he was assigned. As soon as he entered the room, he was met with visible fluid tendrils of Nether Energy. The Yin seed suddenly acted out on its own, and Li Meng felt that it wanted to burst out of his body.
He tried his best to control the seed and sat down to begin cultivation. The absorption speed increased exponentially and the stream seemed to visibly converge towards Li Meng’s body. They were seeping into his skin and making their way through his organs into the yin-seed.
The Yin-seed was rapidly rotating and refining energy. In between, the refining process would suddenly release a burst of energy that would seep into Li Meng’s internal organs and strengthen his body, and improve his Qi quality.
Li Meng sat in the middle of the room, enjoying the satisfying feeling of getting refined by the Yin-seed.
...........
The town-
The group of people that was previously accompanying the Nether Monarch managed to trace the energy residue on their young master’s body to the town. The problem was that the artifact could no longer show the correct direction due to the presence of the Nether-Spring in the vicinity.
Its energy dominated the entire area and altered the energy balance of the atmosphere within the town. Unless the culprit appears in the close vicinity of the compass, it won’t be able to detect it.
“We are sure that the culprit is residing within the city. The Hun manor’s martial competition might be the event he is aiming for. We will stay here and continue to move around the city to try and locate possible suspects.”
” Divide into smaller groups of three and move around the city to try and locate a possible suspect. We will stay here until the end of the competition or until the indication from the compass says otherwise.” The leader of the group spelled out multiple sets of instructions to his subordinates before dispatching them all around the city to look for the culprit.
.................
After a few days-
The town was bustling with a huge crowd. Today was the beginning of the martial contest between the young geniuses present within the city. The winner gets a good amount of hell shards and hell-stones as rewards along with an extended stay in the Nether-Spring training platform.
Three figures approached the registration counter and enlisted their names for the competition. All three of them were of the same height and almost the same build. If the veil over their faces were taken off, it would be seen that they looked alike.
These were the two newly promoted Qi King avatars of Li Meng. They were tasked to win first, second and third place to get all three positions from staying within the tower. The brackets for the competitions were set and soon enough the fight began.
The first round was a royal rumble match-up to eliminate the highest number of participants on the go. About a hundred cultivators were pitted against each other and only the top ten would be able to proceed to the next round.
“You are to only use the battle-arts within the Hell-Forger Sutra to compete as using the art from your original world would create suspicion within the crowd. ” The Keeper advised.
The two avatars nodded and entered their respective battlefields.
