Cheat Cultivator's Ascension - Chapter 463 - 463: Long Yangxue's Deterrence
Returning back into a few minutes ago, from when the Yang Demon just lets out his immense bloodlust indenting to scare Su Xiaotian off, before being beheaded the next moment, both Lucius and Hua Xingtian detected an odd movement of celestial-level beings in the Eastern Continent, prompting the two of them to immediately pause the game they are playing and descend upon the continent, their movement no faster than those two celestial-level experts as neither of the two of them are proficient in either movement arts or spatial rule.
The worry about the young man the two of them are observing and intending to nurture as the vanguard of their world towards the vastness of space beyond, especially since the place he is staying during these times is exactly also the target of the two celestial-level figures, causing them to feel quite troubled, as well as frustrated that they can’t get there any faster.
Hence, also why the relief and surprise that greeted them the moment they neared the signature of the two other celestial-level beings is so huge, seeing that the young man they are observing is more than capable of holding himself well against a pretty established celestial-level cultivator, even despite the low cultivation he has himself.
And right now, the same young man made them laugh, making them admire his nerves of steel as he continues to provoke the celestial-level ancestor of the Imperial Court after just taking off one of his hands, the raging face of the ancient man a complete opposite of the unstoppable laughter of the two figures of the same level as him.
“This is a great opportunity to take him down as well, I guess… it’s not so often that we will catch his slippery eel outside of his place…” the peculiar old Lucius said with a maniacal smile on his face as his eyes glows, seemingly seeing through the very essence of a person making his target, in this case, Long Yangxue, tremble as if he is being eyed by an apex predator.
“There’s just no way, you know this… thing’s antics, he’s going to threaten us with self-destruction if we even try, and you know how problematic that will be…” Hua Xingtian said as he shook his head in annoyance, knowing full well that this ancient is more than senile enough to go on with such a thing if his demands aren’t met, this also being one of the major reasons why the ancient man is still alive right now.
And hearing such words from the talk of the two fellow celestial-level cultivators, the Imperial Court’s Ancestor couldn’t help but fall silent, as this is exactly the plan he intends to fall onto should push come to shove, and what better way to use this one than the precarious situation he is in right now.
“Hahaha, that’s all he can do after all, especially since he might start falling weaker now…” looking at the stump already covered in new skin, Lucius stated with a victorious, mocking smile on his face as his gaze shifts upwards, meeting Long Yangxue’s whose teeth is currently gritted from the humiliation of these two old men just making fun of him.
{Are you fine with this, kid?} thinking that the immortal-like young man might find this arrangement unsatisfactory, Hua Xingtian asked telepathically, prepared to meet any of this young man’s wants even if he exchanges his life for it should he want the Imperial Court’s Ancestor dead.
‘I can just drag him to the void with me and make sure I’m the only one affected by the explosion…’ he thought to himself as he waited for Su Xiaotian’s reply, his answer making him smile as more and more does he see in the young man what he once was when he was just a young cultivator as well.
{I want to take his entire arm, hell, maybe even his life initially, but I can settle for the hand for now, the rest will be paid part by part…} the immortal-like young man replied jokingly making the old man smile once more, his face then being directed towards the ancient man standing on the opposite side of them before he waves his hand.
And from his hand appears a young man of a cold and calculating look, bearing some semblance to the ancient man, his appearance making Su Xiaotian smile in malice as he can already pretty much confirm that this young man is truly the root cause of all of this.
“Take your descendant with you as well, if he’s not so petty like the man you are, then I doubt this would even happen…” Hua Xingtian said as he threw the young man away from his grasp as if he was feeling disgusted just by holding his clothing, the old ancestor of the Imperial Court gently caught his favored descendant before giving one last look of hostility towards the three on the opposite side of him.
And with a single, fluid burst of motion, without his descendant even able to speak, the old ancestor of the Imperial Court, Long Yangxue, disappears into the horizon, planning not to say any more thing for the day as he felt like he had already made himself suffered enough.
“I’m still too weak…” clenching his fist as he still couldn’t help but feel like even his current strength is lacking to deal with the problems coming at him, the immortal-like young man mutters in annoyance, making both Lucius and Hua Xingtian look at him in quite the amusement, wondering how can this young man be satisfied when fighting against celestial-level cultivators as a Nascent Source Realm cultivator won’t even satisfy him.
“You’re already powerful enough as you are, kid, don’t rush it too much, especially since all you need now is time to grow…” Hua Xingtian advises as he moves close to where the two are, the assuring smile on his face that of someone who truly knows what he is speaking about, as well as someone who is genuinely concerned with the well-being of the young man in front of him.
“This old man is right, boy, it’s only a matter of time before you can triumph over Long Yangxue, hell, you might even be able to now if you use your full power…” the peculiar old Lucius said with a smile on his face as he nods at his old friend’s words, the young man, hearing such affirmation from the two experts, smiles as he also knows such fact, however, he just couldn’t help but feel like he is always short on time.
Seeing the helpless look on the immortal-like young man’s face, the two old men couldn’t help but look at each other as they each flashes a wry smile on their faces, knowing that even if Su Xiaotian takes their advices to heart, they still think that he would still definitely take paths that will speed up his cultivation should it presents itself to him.
Still, knowing just how much he needs more strength, similar to all cultivator in the world, they just leave his ambition be, especially since they know there’s nothing they can do to help him accomplish such his goal, not when he is creating a path completely different from one’s who walk the traditional cultivation path, a path unique to himself.
