Strongest Offline Cultivation-Chapter 119 Rivals

On the street of Royal Capital,

A young man wearing a white dress walked on the street but suddenly, a figure dashed in front of him and shouted.

“Hey, where are you going? Elder said that we are not allowed to leave.” A beautiful girl with glowing skin and long black hair stood in front of him and shouted.

“Meng Yu, step aside. I don’t have to inform you anything.” The young man calmly spoke.

“Humph! Zhu Tan, don’t think that just because you are stronger than me, I will be afraid of you. And, if you leave, I would be in trouble.” Meng Yu shouted at him as she clenched her fist.

She bit her lips and thought ‘Damn it! Why did I agree to be a part of his team? Why can’t he understand me? I would be in trouble if he leaves this damn place.’

Zhu Tan paused for a moment and said “You can simply just say that you didn’t see me. And, I have something important to do so I will be gone for a month.”

“What? Where the hell are you going? Did you forget that the demons are rampaging in this kingdom? We won’t be safe if we leave this place.” Meng Yu frustratingly shouted.

Her voice was so loud that everyone turned around and looked at her. They were still in the middle of the street.

“If you are thinking of leaving this place, how about we tag along?” Suddenly, another voice rang from behind. Zhu Tan turned around and they saw two young men standing.

One of them was wearing a green dress and had a sword sheath attached to his waist. The other one was wearing a white dress just like Zhu Tan and had a spear behind his back.

“Not you two! Don’t encourage him to leave this place. There is nothing but danger outside.” Meng Yu stomped her foot on the ground and shouted as she walked in the middle.

Zhu Tan looked at them and said “I am going to the Sacred Mountain Region.”

“Oh! That’s interesting. What made you so worked up?” The man with the spear smirked at him and asked.

“What else?” Meng Yu shouted at him and patted her forehead.

“Fu Chen is making waves outside. He is obviously frustrated that he is getting weaker. But, we need to cross Water King Region and Earth King Region before we can reach the Sacred Mountain Region.”

“It’s very dangerous.”

Hearing her words, the man with the sword walked toward Zhu Tan and spoke “I will go with you.”

Zhu Tan stared at him and asked “It seems like you don’t want to lose either.”

“Hey, I am here too. I don’t want to lose to that bastard either. And, my fight wasn’t even fair unlike yours.” The man with the spear moved toward them and shouted.

“You mean how you refused to use your martial soul and let him win?” The man with the sword looked at him and asked.

“I just wanted to be fair.” The man with the spear pouted.

“Mu Fan! Jian Shen! I am going to tell everything to the elders.” Meng Yu glared at them with hatred and turned around.

Suddenly, yellow energy shaped like a claw caught her and pulled her away.

“Zhu Tan, stop it! Stop it or else, I will destroy it.” Meng Yu screamed as she found herself floating in the air.

Zhu Tan, Jian Shen, and Mu Fan were already running.

Somewhere on the top of the roof, there were two men standing next to each other. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

“Aren’t you going to stop your grandson?” A man with a sword and hat spoke.

“Aren’t you going to stop your disciple?” The old man wearing a red dress spoke.

“I guess this is the only way they can get stronger if they want to catch up to him.” The man with the sword sighed.

“There is no point in stopping them. Besides, I haven’t seen my grandson this motivated in all my life. I just hope that they won’t be his enemies. That boy is a monster.” The old man sighed.

“Do you really think they would fight him as enemies?” The swordsman spoke.

“You don’t think the same way?” The old man asked him in surprise.

“Well, I don’t know the future but I do know that these people are opponents and rivals to each other. That’s why they are so motivated when he made such great progress.”

“That being said, catching up to him would be hard.” The swordsmanship sighed.

“I’m thinking of retiring from the sect. Now, I just want to live a normal life and see my grandson grow.” The old man sighed and slowly left.

“Normal life, huh? Did you spare me to live a normal life as well?” The swordsman looked at the sword in his waist which seemed a bit broken and asked himself.

He still remembers yesterday’s battle where he fought a swordsman. In all his life, he has never faced a swordsman who was that good. And more importantly, that swordsman spared his life so that he would live a happy life.

But, he didn’t understand what happy life even means. Once he gives up cultivation, wouldn’t his life turn completely ordinary?

Can he truly be happy living an ordinary life?

The swordsman finally calmed down and decided to search for the answer.

Somewhere in the Fire King Region,

“Kong, how is he?” Chu Yan walked toward Wu Kong while asking. He was followed by five humanoid-shaped shadows.

Wu Kong looked at him and said “He is close to a breakthrough. By the way, you seem to have extracted quite a lot of shadows. Do you think you can handle it?”

“Well, I did increase my soul power and also reached Golden Core Realm, I think I can handle around a hundred shadows with ease.” Chu Yan nodded his head and turned his head to the front.

Fu Chen was sitting on a stone in a lotus position. His eyes were closed and a large amount of spiritual energy was pouring into his body. The spiritual energy combined with the essence of the sun was reaching deep into his dantian.

Inside his dantian, the spiritual energy was being absorbed by the martial soul and getting transformed into true essence. When the true essence comes out of the marital soul, it revolves in the middle of the dantian.

Currently, Fu Chen was very close to condensing the golden core in his dantian.

Cultivation has five realms; Foundation Establishment Realm, True Essence Realm, Golden Core Realm, Law Condensation Realm, and Nascent Soul Realm.

Foundation Establishment tempers the skin, muscles, bones, and blood. It completely transforms the body and makes it stronger, beaming with vitality and strength.

True Essence Realm transforms the spiritual energy into true essence. Essence is one of the three main foundations of cultivation. True Essence can bring life into any martial art and make it much stronger.

Golden Core Realm gives cultivator a power boost. Whenever Golden Core is condensed, it is condensed with an immense amount of true essence. That means whenever a person is low on true essence, he can use the golden core though it would damage the golden core.

But the best thing about the golden core is it can be easily repaired as long as it is not completely destroyed. And, Golden Core also transforms a small amount of true essence into vitality and increase one’s lifespan to five hundred years.

Law Condensation Realm allows a cultivator to mediate and merge with the laws of nature. Every law has its own rule and once a cultivator grasped the rule, he can manipulate the law with his thoughts alone.

Nascent Soul Realm allows one to create an extra life. Nascent Soul is a complete copy of a person’s soul and it can be used to stay alive even if a cultivator’s body is destroyed.

Currently, Fu Chen was trying to reach Golden Core Realm and this realm takes a lot of spiritual energy. He had been cultivating for two days and he still hasn’t gathered enough true essence to condense the golden core.

Even with his high-speed cultivation and powerful martial soul, it was taking him a long time to reach Golden Core Realm.

Fu Chen continues to absorb the spiritual energy, transform it into true essence and condense the large spiral gas in the middle of his dantian. But, this also represented his foundation.

Even though he had been striving forward so fast, his foundation was rock solid. It was thanks to Hongmeng Purple Qi, Sage Body, Dragon Bloodline, and almost every other power that he received.

And more importantly, his soul power and body are stronger than his essence cultivation.

“How long do you think he would take?” Wu Kong looked at Chu Yan and asked. He had also reached Golden Core Realm but unlike Chu Yan and Fu Chen, he only took a few hours. f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

Of course, it didn’t mean his strength was weaker. It’s just that he had the highest spiritual energy absorption rate.

“I just hope he can finish it before anything happens to sister-in-law.”
