Chapter 640: The Standard Beyond 150

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zheng Dao buried himself with work in his study, occasionally lifting his head up to glance outside the window. When he noticed the huge black cookie-like silhouette hanging in the sky, he could not help but sigh.

It was currently day time; not night time.

If it were night, the cookie would reflect sunlight. Its huge size gave it a mysterious sense of grandeur and majesty, although it was second only to its oppressiveness that could not be extinguished.

It was no longer the moon that hung far away in the sky. Now it was more similar to a space station, or a man-made body.

...

To a young pursuer of literature like him, the disappearance of the moon would forever be a pain to him.

Many works of literature had already written ‘the death of the moon’ as traumatic literature.

Romance had once again, bowed its head to reality.

Truth proved that the new Heavenly Axiom, similar to its predecessor, Mother Earth, was cold and heartless. It did not care about romance. Natural selection was the rule set down and obeyed by the Heavenly Axiom itself.

As Zheng Dao completed one of his plans and glanced at the mooncake outside the window once again, he paused.

Four beams of light were rushing towards the mooncake.

From the direction where the light appeared, it seemed to be rather close to where he was currently...

Could it be?

He thought of a possibility and hurriedly rushed to inform the Hero who was in training.

...

“Mr. Rich Guy, something happened. Just now Zheng Dao said he suspected that somebody from the Azure Mountain targeted the mooncake. I just used your Khorium Ore Dog Eyes to look around and I found that there were actually four powerhouses rushing toward the mooncake indeed,” said the System to Fang Ning, who was busy training up his cooking skills in the alchemy lab.

Fang Ning was roasting some of the green vegetables obtained from the System Preservation Area in the alchemy furnace...

He was clumsy enough that even the most patient teacher in the world would not have the guts to watch over him.

However, the System did not know the idea of patience, therefore it did not care.

“Oh, is that so? Who would’ve thought that after hibernating for only a year, Azure Mountain has started their move again? I still thought that they’ll stay dormant for at least ten years or so,” said Fang Ning without raising his head.

“Do you think everyone procrastinates as you do? After that one time where Ren Ruofeng was asked to save his old lover and surrounded Azure Mountain, they never sent anyone else. Gu Buwei came out from the mountain after that to steal some Heavenly Merit Points. I wonder what the points are stolen for?” asked the System confusedly.

“I guess it’s the same as us? For the sake of survival?” Fang Ning said distractedly.

“You better pay attention and not hoodwink me. My instinct tells me that it won’t be a small matter this time,” said the System dismally.

“Uh, sorry, training is too tiring, I can’t think straight,” Fang Ning finally spoke with his head raised.

“Then tell me, why do you think they went to the mooncake?”

“My idea is that they definitely went there for colonization purposes.” Fang Ning was very sure with his answer.

“Uh, they have a secret base in Azure Mountain, blessed by the heavens to absorb the vitality of China. Why do they need to colonize others?” The System was very confused.

“Hmmph, there is no end to greed. I estimate that they had been hibernating for a year and were improving on their powers. Even a dishonest Shen Xingcheng managed to break through to Lake-level. Once the Heavenly Axiom released the upper limit of power, all their suppressed strength surged suddenly. We still don’t know how powerful they truly are. With such strong hidden powers, of course, they have the same amount of greed that came with it,” said Fang Ning determinedly.

“If that’s the case, then I should keep an eye on them. I’m afraid there will be at least three Inland-Sea level powerhouses among them. If they cause any trouble, it will definitely be devastating,” said the System sternly.

“Hehe, that’s true. You’ll be able to receive another bunch of experience up to hundreds of millions. Oh right, tomorrow you have to tell me about your family background. It’s been a while since I paid attention to your growth,” said Fang Ning suddenly.

“Why are you concerned about this? It’s none of your business as to how I’m growing into.” The System rejected.

“I’m not aiming for your money. Which part of me looks like you?” said Fang Ning, running out of words.

“Oh, is that the case? Actually, I’m quite poor right now. You should support me more,” said the System hurriedly.

“I’m too poor to even pay for my tuition fees, and you’re still asking me for support? The wise men were right, the more money you have the more you don’t want to part with them; the more you don’t want to part with your money the richer you’ll be,” sneered Fang Ning.

“Thank you for the compliment.” The System retorted.

“Enough with the nonsense, hurry up and keep an eye on them. We’ll talk later.” Fang Ning continued his training in cooking. Being independent was the true way of life.

If one day the System decided to choke Fang Ning again, and Fang Ning could only make omelets with his status as “The Prodigical Chef Fang”, no one could imagine how awkwardly embarrassing that would be for him.

Immediately, Vigilante A flew into the air and rushed toward the four people who just left Azure Mountain.

...

“Indeed, he’s coming.” Shang Ruoyu did not need to turn around to know the movements behind him.

“If it weren’t for the fact that we have to help Big Brother with his matter, I really want to have a fight with him,” said Qi Hui with a hint of anger in her voice.

“Forget it, Mei-er has always had an unpredictable personality and never took anyone seriously. This lesson might not be all bad after all, as the saying goes, this might be a blessing in disguise?” Shang Ruoyu shook his head and consoled his wife.

“Perhaps that’s how it is...” Qi Hui recalled her sister’s problems and heaved a long sigh subconsciously.

Gu Buwei remained silent at the side, witnessing the incident indifferently.

The couple could not be considered as bad people, but they were definitely not as fair and just as the Venerable One.

In their hearts, their relatives were more important. As for matters related to their organizational benefits, those were pushed back too.

Otherwise, they would not have lost a talented and precious disciple of the Spirit King with a bright future to save the troublemaker Qi Mei that cost everyone dearly...

Shen Xingcheng, on the other hand, revealed a look of longingness. Qi Mei was really lucky to have two Inland-Sea level figures who were almost God-like to watch over her.

After her physical body was defeated and her soul left, she still had the opportunity to reincarnate into the body of a Spirit King...

If it were him, he supposed he would have died then.

However, that Qi Mei was rather useless as well. She did not know when to back away. What could she do even if she was facing Vigilante A directly?

Eventually, he still needed to suppress his own power so that he would not kill her?

It was exactly because he knew where his baseline was, he definitely would not cross it.

On the contrary, he could use her as the perfect whetstone to test his standards.

Not long after, all four of them had already sped like the wind and landed on the wide and spacious mooncake.

Currently, it was daytime. The scorching hot sunlight shone directly on the surface of the mooncake.

There was no ozone layer on the mooncake. Without the presence of oxygen and an extremely high temperature of 200 degree Celsius, no one would have survived on it normally.

Among them, the weakest of them was of Lake-level. He already reached the state of being able to produce his own internal breath without needing oxygen from an external source to survive on his own.

That was due to the fact that they could obtain the energy to maintain their lives through the conversion of magical energy, and were no longer restricted by the natural law.

At one glance, the mountain stretched unevenly across the distance. The ground nearby was littered with sharp stones due to the lack of weathering.

If one stepped on the surface wearing normal shoes, holes would be immediately cut into them.

It was a scene of desolation without any sign of life, causing a rising fear.

Seeing that, Qi Hui frowned slightly and said confusedly, “This isolated land is hellish compared to Azure Mountain. Why does Big Brother want to make this the base of our operations?”

“Hehe, perhaps it is because it’s hanging in the sky?” Shang Ruoyu shook his head and said, “Elder brother is adept in Precognitive Divination. I assume he predicted something? He should have his own reasons.”

“Alright, let’s wrap this up and we can start dealing with my sister,” said Qi Hui gladly.

“Mistress, I’m afraid this won’t be as easy as expected? Vigilante A has been following us.” Shen Xingchen interrupted suddenly.

“Hehe, it’s alright if he doesn’t make a move; If he messes with us without a reason, the Azure Mountain isn’t a place for people to mess with,” said Shang Ruoyu coldly.

Shen Xingchen nodded his head vigorously. He was wondering how would the extent of his powers be like if Vigilante A unleashed all of his power.

How high was the standard beyond a hundred and fifty?
