I Cheated While Cultivating

“`

“This is great!”

The inner seat of the Five Emperors was overjoyed at the news and immediately pulled out a bronze mirror from his sleeve, attempting to capture the radiance of the Star Gate at that moment. However, it wasn’t long before he sighed, “Just as I thought.”

“What’s the matter?” Zhou Heng asked in confusion.

“Nothing was reflected!” The inner seat of the Five Emperors shook his head, looking at the empty mirror with some disappointment, “This is the divine weapon ‘Star Track Myriad Realms Mirror,’ capable of reflecting the trajectories of the Star Gates’ rotations and capturing the information routes of the worlds currently connected.

“Under normal circumstances, simply by using this Myriad Realms Mirror, one would immediately obtain the corresponding world information routes, but this time, nothing was reflected.”

“Is it because this world is very special?” Zhou Heng had roughly guessed the reason, saying, “The information routes of these worlds are actually the information from the Zhou Tian Star Chart, right?

“If you want to capture it, it’s more or less equivalent to extracting the information from the Zhou Tian Star Chart, so naturally, it’s difficult to succeed. When you just mentioned ‘as expected,’ I presume you had attempted this before.”

“Correct.” The inner seat of the Five Emperors nodded slightly, put away the Myriad Realms Mirror, and said, “Actually, every time the Star Envoys go on a promotion task, the person in charge of the Myriad Realms Mirror will attempt to capture the world information, but it has never been successful.

“I was still holding onto hope that since it was you, the Star Lord, who came to sense the information of the corresponding world, and not a Star Envoy’s promotion, perhaps it could be successful. Now it seems, these worlds are very special in themselves.

“Alas, since we cannot obtain the world route information, other members of the organization cannot go to that world. We can only wait for the two leaders and the several Celestial Men to return before making plans. I don’t know if Tian Ji can hold out until then.”

“There’s no need to wait.” Zhou Heng smiled and said, “I can cross over to that world directly.”

“Impossible! How can the Star Lord recklessly go alone to a world with unknown circumstances!” The inner seat of the Five Emperors immediately shook his head upon hearing this and said, “Star Lord, your identity is extraordinary to the organization, how can you…”

But before he could finish, Zhou Heng had already strode into the Star Gate and vanished in the blink of an eye, without a trace.

“…”

The inner seat of the Five Emperors was stunned, looking astonished. Then, the color drained from his face beneath the mask, and he hurriedly ran out towards the Purple Palace, “This is bad, the Star Lord is in danger!”

He wanted to seek help from The Supreme and Celestial Law.

…

Streams of bright silver starlight swirled around, with numerous dazzling and bizarre sights whizzing past alongside the brilliance.

After stepping into the Star Gate, Zhou Heng felt as though he had entered a strange tunnel filled with speeding light and shadow, as if being drawn by an invisible force, speeding toward a certain direction.

In this peculiar tunnel, he once again perceived that seemingly endless flood of information.

And once again, he distinguished the information of the world where Cheng Jianjian was.

Zhou Heng thus confirmed that he was indeed “flying towards” that world.

At the same time, information about that world flowed through his mind.

Perhaps because this world was under the jurisdiction of the Zhou Tian Star Chart, the information he received about the world was extremely detailed.

…

“Name: Demon Spirit World

“Type: Void Minor Thousand World

“Affiliation: Northern Dipper True Profound Heavens

“One Calamity: Forty-seven thousand years

“Strongest: Secret Six Rank

“…”

“…”

“Heaven and Earth’s Elemental Qi: Sparse

“Laws Suppression: Minimal

“Time Flow Rate: Tenfold

“World Summary: … Every being has a spirit – birds, beasts, plants, and stones. Those with a spirit can become monsters, possessing intelligence and power, beyond human contestation… Monsters rampage, people suffer, only ancient families with lineage powers can slay demons…”

…

This information was so detailed it was almost like an extensive report.

Every piece of information and even the data were listed clearly.

“`

Unfortunately, the description of the entire world was only a summary. To find out specifics, what powers existed, and Cheng Jianjian’s exact whereabouts, Zhou Heng would still have to investigate on his own.

Just as he was thinking this,

Zhou Heng suddenly felt his body sink, and the light and shadows that had been moving backward abruptly surged upward.

He was plummeting downward at an extremely fast pace.

…

On a trail among the trees, maples glowed fiery red as the setting sun cast a rosy hue.

This was an autumn scene bathed in warm colors.

Yet Yao Qianjiao could feel no warmth, only a deep cold taking over her body, her hands and feet icy, as the sight of dismembered corpses and fresh crimson blood filled her with terror.

What was most terrifying was that on these dismembered limbs, there would be small human-like creatures with dog’s heads perched, feasting on the bodies, tearing the flesh, and gnawing the bones to suck the marrow.

Standing among these dog-headed creatures was a young man donned in pitch-black armor, towering and burly, sporting a full beard, with unruly hair and a face slightly protruding forward, bearing some resemblance to a dog.

He was holding a fair arm, his sharp teeth nothing like a human’s, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, exuding an intense stench.

The scene before her was like hell on earth.

“Why, why is this happening?” Tears streamed down Yao Qianjiao’s face, her beautiful features marred by streaks of tears.

She couldn’t understand why she was experiencing this.

She was simply returning home after visiting relatives, a journey no more than twenty miles, accompanied by three close female guards and twelve hired guards. It should have been a smooth trip throughout.

Why had this happened?

Why had she encountered monsters?

Why?!

…

Those dismembered limbs belonged to Yao Qianjiao’s guards.

Now, apart from her, only one of her personal female guards was still alive.

The hired guards weren’t all dead, but upon seeing that the creatures blocking their way were monsters, they had fled outright.

“Woman, are you very scared?” The young man in black armor casually tossed aside the bone he was holding and slowly walked toward Yao Qianjiao, chuckling, “My name is Black Saint. What do you think of that name?”

“You, don’t come any closer, please don’t!” Yao Qianjiao’s face turned deathly pale as she stumbled backwards in horror.

“Miss, hide behind me.” A young female guard stepped in front of Yao Qianjiao. She was a personal guard raised by the Yao Family since childhood and was ready to lay down her life to protect Yao Qianjiao.

“Humans are quite interesting. Even though so weak, they still insist on training themselves, attempting to become stronger,” mused Black Saint with a self-amused laugh as he continued advancing, “but in the end, they only make their flesh tougher to chew. Is that at all interesting?”

“Aaaah!!” Yao Qianjiao screamed, her fear shattering her self-control as she shrieked hoarsely, “Why, why are there monsters?!

“In the past two years, hasn’t the Empress Your Majesty been terrifying you into submission?! Why are you still daring to show up, why?! Aren’t you afraid of being killed?!”

“The Empress! That woman Cheng!” At these words, Black Saint’s facial muscles involuntarily twitched, a flash of fear passing through his eyes, which quickly turned into intense killing intent, “I was initially going to save some of you for snacks, but since you’re seeking death, then…”

“The Empress? The woman surnamed Cheng?”

At that moment, a voice tinged with confusion came from nearby, followed by the sight of a handsome young man in a white Taoist robe with blue patterns slowly approaching.

“Ah, another self-training morsel?” Black Saint eyed the young man, baring his teeth, “The two words I hate most in my life are ‘Empress.’ You too must die!!”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the young man appeared before him as if shrinking the ground beneath his feet, and with his palm, he grabbed the dog-like face, unleashing a force as mighty as a mountain torrent.

Boom!

Black Saint was slammed face-first into the ground by the young man, the fearsome force causing the ground to tremble violently; half of his head was buried in the earth.

“Aaagh! Human! You’re courting death!” Black Saint roared, as his face warped and protruded forward even more, and his hair thickened and coarsened, quickly becoming a dog’s head, “Die for me…”

Bang!!

The young man stomped on the dog head, smashing the monster’s entire head into the ground, and said indifferently, “Enough talk. Tell me about this Empress.”
