Villain Cultivator

Chapter 444: Hardworking Miaomiao

"Yes! The damned Xie Clan! Because of that Outer God, Divine Demon Clans are being hunted down one after another. Even though I was minding my own business in my enclosed dimension and protecting my Constellations, that bastard barged into my domain and slaughtered my people!"

"That sounds… rough."

It wasn't hard to guess that the Xie Clan and Xie Tian were connected. Even Xie Qingtian's name was similar to the dead nemesis.

'Is Xie Qingtian the backer of Xie Tian? Devil, do you know anything?'

Ding

[The Devil has been punching a stuffed doll and screaming in frustration.]

[Macho Joshua massaged his glabella and temples, having a severe headache.]

[The deeds of the outer god angers the Monkey King.]

"…"

Obviously, the Devil and others seemed to have a history with that "Xie Qingtian", judging from their reaction.

While Miaomiao had been glancing at the system panel, Oda continued complaining, "Fortunately, Kishin Douji and other demonic clans are quick and smart. They counterattacked and forced that clan into a stalemate. But you see, stupid goodie-two-shoes like the Trumpet Alliance, Joshua, and Buddha failed to realize the threat and thought that Kishin Douji was trying to conquer the Heaven Realm! Hey, if your backers are one of them, tell those morons not to hinder Kishin Douji's plans!"

"Huh!?"

Miaomiao was astonished by the new info. He stared at Sima Yi in disbelief.

Ding

[The Devil shakes his head as he already warned Joshua and others.]

[Macho Joshua disagrees with the notion as Kishin Douji has been killing innocent mortals and immortals.]

The matter seemed to be more complicated than Miaomiao had expected. There were two sides of a coin, and each side had their reasons and goals.

If everything Oda Nobunaga had said was true, then there might be four major factions at the moment.

Kishin Douji represented the demon faction while Joshua represented righteous gods.

Then, there was the mysterious outer god, who might be the backer or a relative of Xie Tian. As for the Devil, he seemed to be on the neutral side as his goal was more suspicious than the rest of the three factions.

There might be more factions that Miaomiao had no idea about, but he believed that he understood the big picture.

This universe seemed to be in chaos!

[The Devil sighs as he already warned you not to dwell in the Heaven Realm's political strife.]

["Kill Ling Tianlong, and the answer will be clear for you."]

'Yeah, I know. Your complex relationship with everyone confuses me.'

Miaomiao put everything to the back of his head for now. He didn't need to know who fought for what cause, or which side was right.

"I'll tell them not to mess with Kishin Douji's warfront and his war preparation."

"Good. So, now that you know that I'm living inside this boy, what are you going to do to him?"

"As I said, I want him as my legacy disciple."

"Haiz. I already told you, he's mine. I'll let him inherit my legacy. I can't possibly allow him to practice a bogus cultivation method or a mortal technique."

"What if I tell you that I'll keep showering him with my immortal-grade techniques? He needs a place to cultivate in peace, no?"

"…"

Oda paused and fell into deep thought. Then, he glanced outside, gazing at the pylon tower.

"I guess, only your city has a proper tower, but Life Essence is incompatible with my techniques."

"You need Dark Element, Death Qi, or something related to the Shadow Element?"

"… Something like that."

"How about this? I'm planning to let him cultivate dark arts anyway. Why don't we share him so he can inherit both of our techniques? You can also learn my arts since you're inside him, right?"

Oda widened his eyes for a moment. Then, he frowned, "What is your aim? What will you gain if Sima Yi inherits your techniques?"

"Since you're kind enough to reveal so much information to me, I'll tell you a secret," Miaomiao sighed. "I killed a guy with a connate providence or someone with a great fate. His surname is coincidentally the same as Xie Qingtian."

"Hoh?" Oda grinned, "What's his name?"

"Xie Tian."

"Interesting… HAHAHAHAHA!!" Oda burst into laughter and raised his chin, gazing at the sky for a moment.

Then, he turned around and smirked, "If that is true, you're pretty much fucked up. From the rumor, Xie Qingtian is kind and benevolent to his allies, but he's ruthless to his enemies. He will even destroy his enemies' planets for the slightest grievance.? Since you killed someone with the same surname, I bet he will come for you as soon as you ascend!"

"Yeah, I'm aware. Thanks for reminding me that."

Miaomiao sulked while Oda was in a good mood. He no longer emitted a threatening presence of a former god.

As Miaomiao and Oda had the same enemy, the latter changed his mind, "You know what? Let's make Sima Yi the strongest monster alive together! I also want to see what kind of techniques you can bestow him."

"Good. That's a deal. Also, I hope that you can help me in the future if we face a crisis."

"That depends on my mood. If I feel like it, I might give you a hint."

"… Fair enough."

…

Oda Nobunaga gave back the body to Sima Yi, who fainted after being possessed by the mysterious being.

Miaomiao carried him outside and passed him to his friends.

Just like that, the first meeting with his new disciples was over, but he hadn't finished his job yet.

The next task was related to Dian Wei. He visited her at the division courtyard.

"I didn't ask you in front of the children earlier. What happened to the job that I entrusted you? What happened to Xiangyang and the ambush?"

Dian Wei had been sitting on a stone, crocheting her spider webs into a pair of bras for herself. She lazily shrugged, "They fled."

"Who fled?"

"That geezer and the citizens of Xiangyang or whatever that city is. By the time that I got there, everyone was gone."

"Hoh? Then, did you check where they went?"

"No. But I told Ma Moxi to find their trace while I returned to Senior Nero's cave to fetch a few things and my babies. Since nobody is using that city, I led my babies to occupy the place! Oh, I also laid the eggs that you fertilized over there. They will hatch in a week."

"…"

"If possible, can I go hunt some humans and use their corpses for our babies? I'm worried that those newborn babies will end up eating their siblings if there's no source of food around."

Miaomiao wanted to stop her from sullying his reputation, but he suddenly remembered something.

To the north, Liu Xuande was still hanging around Chicken Ann City. Also, he had heard from Wei Yuan that a new orc-oni army had been stationing at Red Sun City, and they had been expanding their forces.

Miaomiao smiled, "Okay, but I have a favor to ask you. At the north of Nero's lair, there should be a large city with several orcs and giant onis around. You can freely hunt them and use them as food. Oh, if you run into a strong enemy, don't hesitate to retreat."

Dian Wei laughed, "Okay! I'll be going, then!"

The spider stopped what she had been doing and flew northeast right away. Miaomiao could catch a glimpse of her drooling smirk, which was enough to tell what she was thinking.

Now that the urgent duties were done, Miaomiao visited the pylon tower.

He had postponed it for a long time. But today, he planned to upgrade it.

The system pylon tower had several sockets, which Miaomiao could embed elemental crystals in there to change the tower's characteristics, elements, or benefits from the rainwater.

Miaomiao checked his system inventory and his spatial rings, gathering all elemental crystals under his possession.

Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning, Wood, Metal, Wind, Shadow, and Light Element Crystals were sorted. Miaomiao put them in his available inventory slots to admire them.

He had all basic element crystals as he had looted them from the Liu Clan's Vault, and Nero gave him a few. However, Miaomiao didn't want to use them on his first pylon tower.

He needed some research before he changed the default energy from the tower as it affected everyone.

'What element should I add? Light? But that will hinder the growth of Shadow Element Cultivators and Sima Yi. The Dark Element is the opposite of Holy, and the Shadow is the opposite of Light… What to do?'

Miaomiao sat on top of the tower, closing his eyes and thinking.

Five minutes later, he stopped.

'Meh, since I can't pick one, how about I try to merge all elements into one! Say, Devil, Joshua, how do I merge or combine element crystals to create a new crystal? Can I do it like the compound elements?'

Ding

[The Devil is delighted that you consult him.]

[Macho Joshua beams with a bright smile.]

Ding

[Macho Joshua and the Devil wish to upload a PDF file to your system. Will you authorize it?]

'Yes, please, Dion.'

[Authorize granted.]

[Downloading…]

[Downloading completed.]

[Previous authorization has been revoked for the sake of your safety and system security. No virus or Trojans allowed.]

[The Devil is sad.]

[Macho Joshua, OG-Buddha, and many dao gods sneer at the Devil.]

Miaomiao ignored the reactions of the gods and checked the PDF file. He read the content.

Two hours later, Miaomiao widely smiled. He straightened his back and sat cross-leg, instantly falling asleep while meditating.

As soon as Miaomiao entered his dantian space, he flew to the rural part of his world and brought out each basic element crystal, including the light and the shadow one.

Without hesitation, Miaomiao crushed them to pieces!

Before the crystals could explode, Miaomiao bit his tongue and spat out his blood essence. His Life Essence in his dantian was depleted on the spot, but there was still backup energy in his muscle.

The blood essence hovered in front of Miaomiao, acting like a magnet, attracting the fragments of all destroyed element crystals.

The various energies were condensed, using the blood essence as the new core.

However, Miaomiao hadn't finished yet. He converted every drop of remaining energy in his blood cells into Holy Flame of Life Qi and added it to the mix.

Using his Holy Flame the same way as alchemic flame, Miaomiao used his hands to control the temperature and the flow of energies into an orb. The massive amount of conflicted elemental power slowly merged into one while the impurity and chaotic substances were purified by the Holy Flame.

The task was arduous. It took Miaomiao an entire day in the space to solidify a small fragment of the new elemental core. However, he hadn't finished one percent of the project.

From Miaomiao's rough estimation, he might need years to complete this compound element crystal!

Fortunately, Xu Chu noticed the anomaly. She came to Miaomiao's side to see what he was doing.

Upon discovering that Miaomiao was doing something interesting, she decided to help.

"Forging a new compound element crystal? You're crazy."

Miaomiao grumbled, "If you're free, how about you help me a bit."

"Sure, but the payment will be 10 years of non-stop sex, and I get to be on top."

"Too long. Two years."

"Nine years."

"Five."

"Deal!"

Xu Chu laughed as he carefully injected her elemental essence into the mix while she paid attention to the Isolation Training Space's condition.

Every time a drop of elemental essence appeared, the space trembled as if it had reached its limit. However, Xu Chu suppressed the rampaging energy and controlled the flow.

Under her watch, Miaomiao's dantian stabilized while the greater energy was gathering at one point.

Ding

[The overwhelming cluster of torrent elemental energy refined your dantian!]

While the refinement process went on, Miaomiao could feel that his dantian world had slowly adapted to the changes and the suppressed energies.

It was getting larger and stronger!

Ding

[Your dantian capacity has expanded!]

[Your Life Essence has been strengthened!]

[All your element crystals in your dantian have been strengthened to the limit!]

[You have recreated and recultivated the Light Element Crystal in your dantian!]

…

As Miaomiao had been sleeping on top of the pylon tower, the sky went dark.

Tribulation clouds and the world guardians, who had been afraid of offending Miaomiao's backers, had no choice but to gather here once more.

Someone was about to create a compound element crystal, which didn't belong in this mortal world!

They could vaguely sense its emergence, but they were unable to pinpoint where it would come out.

Many tribulation eyes appeared and looked around at first. Then, they stared at Miaomiao.

"Him, again!?"
