Chapter 219: East Ning Marquis Meng Chuan Divine Ability Realm

The next morning, Marquis Wuyang received an intelligence report. He was drinking his morning tea and perusing the intelligence files.

‘Meng Dajiang?’ Marquis Wuyang murmured to himself as he read. ‘He’s from the Body Refinement lineage, truly of mediocre talent, a weak Undying Godfiend. But his son... his son is Meng Chuan? One of the three most brilliant young geniuses of Archean Mountain, guaranteed to be granted a marquis title, and even has the potential to become a King Godfiend?’

‘And his daughter-in-law is Liu Qiyue, a genius with the Phoenix Divine Body?’

‘How did he even manage to marry Bai Nianyun? The eldest daughter of a Creation-level family, and now even a Marquis Godfiend herself?’

Marquis Wuyang felt utterly vexed.

What kind of luck was this?

Ordinary background! Ordinary talent! Ordinary strength! An Undying Godfiend… considered to be at the bottom tier among Godfiends. He couldn't even directly resist demon invasions; his role was merely intelligence gathering. Meng Dajiang also followed the Body Refinement lineage, which made his natural aptitude even worse than that of a regular Undying Godfiend.

Yet his wife, son, and daughter-in-law… each one was extraordinary!

‘Meng Dajiang, I can’t bear to let you live so freely and unburdened,’ Marquis Wuyang thought, his eyes glinting with a cold light. Bai Nianyun, whom he had grown up with, was still the eldest daughter of a Creation-level family. He had always looked up to her, constantly trying to please and pursue her. Only after becoming a Marquis Godfiend did he feel confident enough to pursue her more actively…

Decades of longing.

Who would have thought that Meng Dajiang had married Bai Nianyun and even had children while he was still a mortal?

‘During wartime, directly harming a weak Godfiend is a grave offense,’ Marquis Wuyang mused inwardly. ‘Not to mention Meng Dajiang also has a son and daughter-in-law who have some background in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I can’t use brute force.’

‘Hmm, this is what I’ll do.’ Marquis Wuyang pondered for a moment and then had a plan.

To simply dismiss it with a calm smile?

Decades of pursuit! Now, in a single day, it had all come to nothing. This vexation, this anger, he had to vent it. The stronger one was, the more important it was to achieve mental clarity and singularity of thought, for only then could one’s will be strong enough. Minor annoyances could be endured, but if one was too angry or too vexed and kept suppressing it, it could easily turn into an inner demon, causing mental confusion and hindering cultivation.

Godfiend cultivation, starting from the 'Soul Realm,' was greatly intertwined with one’s will.

Powerful Godfiends throughout human history, whether good or evil, were all individuals with incredibly strong wills.

Phew.

Meng Chuan and his wife retracted their lightning, traveling across the land. They were now on their way back, and without a mission, they were naturally much more relaxed. Along the way, they enjoyed various sceneries and even paid attention to whether there were any 'wolf smoke' signals in all directions.

“We’ve reached Gushan Prefecture City,” Meng Chuan said, leading his wife back to their residence.

“Master, Madam,” the old gatekeeper of the residence immediately greeted them.

Meng Chuan and his wife entered the residence and immediately followed the sounds to the back garden. In the garden, two children were stumbling as they walked, while Liu Yebai was in front, softly saying, “Come, come, come to Grandpa.”

The two children made babbling sounds, walking and babbling, though it was unclear what they were trying to say. The younger brother stumbled and was about to fall when Liu Yebai’s figure flashed, appearing instantly before him and catching him. The 'older sister' immediately rushed towards Liu Yebai as well. Liu Yebai laughed heartily, holding both children.

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue watched from the side, smiling.

“This past half year, I’ve seen my father laugh more than ever before,” Liu Qiyue remarked.

“With Father-in-law helping us with the children, we’re much more at ease,” Meng Chuan said. Their twin children were only six months old but could already walk clumsily, much earlier than children from ordinary families, indicating their naturally strong physiques.

For instance, King Anhai’s children were all extraordinary, even though their mothers were almost entirely mortals.

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue were both extraordinary themselves.

One possessed the Phoenix Divine Body, and the other had cultivated the perfected Thunder World-Destroying Fiend Body, a cultivation method of the body refinement lineage.

While the two children were still in their mother’s womb, their mother had absorbed the power of a Phoenix Feather. A portion of that power also integrated into the children’s bodies, making their physiques naturally extraordinary.

That night, in the quiet room.

Meng Chuan sat cross-legged. After a year of cultivation, his 'Divine Power Realm' cultivation of the body refinement lineage was finally about to be perfected, completely achieved.

The incredibly minuscule particles that formed the most minute structure of his physical body, each particle containing a 'particle space.' Meng Chuan had consumed three hundred and sixty-eight Scarlet Blood Divine Pills one after another, and his primordial spirit consciousness finally completely imprinted itself within every particle space, including the tiny 'point' and numerous 'light dots' within the particle space, as well as the void within the particle space itself.

Buzz.

In the last particle, his primordial spirit consciousness resoundingly imprinted itself within the void of its particle space.

All particle spaces were now completely imprinted.

Every part of his body was now perfected, and his physical body had never been so perfectly under his control! In the past, he needed primordial spirit power to mobilize his physical strength. Now, with just a thought, the power within every particle began to converge, a vast force surging and flowing through his body, perfectly under his command.

“This is the Divine Power Realm?” Meng Chuan mused, sensing the transformation throughout his body.

He inwardly examined his entire body.

His internal organs, even every drop of blood, and every minute part of his muscles and bones, were faintly emanating a subtle glow.

The glow generated spontaneously!

Furthermore, on the surface of his skin, a mystical and far more complex protective membrane had formed. If the 'Vajra Realm' involved a protective Vajra force, the 'Divine Power Realm' body was far more powerful, and the protective force formed on the body's surface was also much more intricate. This was the natural influence of countless particle space energies on the external world, forming this astonishing protective divine power.

“Let’s test it,” Meng Chuan said, rolling up his sleeve to expose his arm. If one looked closely at the skin on his arm, a transparent protective membrane was visible on its surface.

Meng Chuan simply flipped his hand and drew the Demon Slaying Blade.

“Break.”

He swung the blade towards his arm. The blade edge, upon striking the protective membrane, was weakened layer by layer. Ultimately, it couldn't even touch his skin; it was completely blocked.

“Primordial spirit power to mobilize Great Solar Realm True Essence,” Meng Chuan thought. His current physical strength far surpassed his Great Solar Realm True Essence, but he was more familiar with the power of the Great Solar Realm True Essence.

With his third-level primordial spirit power mobilizing his True Essence, he could barely reach the threshold of a Marquis Godfiend.

“Tiger Roar Style.”

He savagely chopped down with his blade.

He held nothing back; after all, even if he severed his arm, it could reattach and heal.

A fierce blade light struck the protective divine power, meeting layer upon layer of resistance—the natural outward resistance of countless particle spaces. After the blade light barely pierced through the protective divine power, it had no power left to harm his skin, not even leaving a white mark.

“I don’t believe it.”

“Although I’m not known for my strength, my blade techniques are quite powerful. Especially since the Demon Slaying Blade has long since transformed.”

“Primordial spirit power mobilized! Godfiend Forbidden Art!”

Meng Chuan struck again with ruthless intent.

Having unleashed a Godfiend Forbidden Art, this time the blade light became even more brilliant, with lightning flashing. The blade pierced through the protective divine power, sliced open his incredibly tough skin, but was finally stopped by his muscles.

“Just a flesh wound?” Meng Chuan understood then. “My physical body, in terms of toughness alone, is nearly twice as strong as the one-horned great demon king I killed. As expected of the body refinement lineage; when one purely cultivates the body, the body is truly strong.”

‘No wonder the manual describes cultivators of this body refinement system as charging headlong into battle, clashing directly with each other. Indeed, their vitality is freakishly strong,’ Meng Chuan mused. ‘But in terms of explosive power, it seems I’m not as strong as a Marquis Godfiend?’
