Villain Cultivator

Chapter 324: Ways to Enter the Vault

Liu Guang had been waiting for the gang to come back and inform her that the trouble had been solved. As soon as she saw Miaomiao and Fogan, she jumped in joy.

"You\'re back!"

Miaomiao chuckled, "And you\'re a cunt. How could you leave us without hesitation?"

"What? I did it so I wouldn\'t drag you down!" Liu Guang was somewhat offended.

"Just kidding. Let\'s get back to the plane and open the vault. We\'ve eliminated the threats."

"Alright."

The gang went back to the plane.

…

Meanwhile, a teenager and an elderly man in white robes arrived at the Red Sun City. The back of their robes had the embroidery of Plum Blossom Flower Crest, which was the signature of the Mount Hua Sect.

The elder\'s wrinkle skin and appearance were similar to an old man in his 80s. Yet, his well-proportion jawline, long silky silver hair, and trimmed short white full-beard made his appearance dandy. Though his withered skin was apparent, his toned muscle and his tall stature displayed his healthy physique and his hard work.

This dignified elder was Ling Cao, the 3rd elder of Mount Hua Sect. He was also from the same clan as the disciple behind him.

The teenager behind Ling Cao had a long ponytail, sharp face, and perfect delicate smooth skin without a dot. His curve eyebrows and almond eyes made his upper face feminine, but his jaw and perfect sharp nose balanced his facial feature, making his face attractive. Even men could fall in love with him if he were to dress like a woman.

His 170cm in height was a head shorter than his mentor, but he still had many years to grow taller since he was only 15 this year.

The handsome teenager was Ling Tianlong, the inner disciple of Mount Hua Sect and the legacy disciple of the 3rd elder, Ling Cao.

The two men gazed at the former capital city of the Aves Continent.

The elder was enraged, "Damn Jia Shan and Ma Ping! How dare they burnt the city and slaughtered the innocent civilians!"

On the other hand, the teenager frowned and looked around. He doubted that the intel from Yuan Clan was real.

"Let\'s investigate this place first. The party that I saw came from the west, so they might likely be the people from Siren City. Since they traveled east, they might have come here to do something. Let\'s search for their whereabouts and their traces first. Then, we can find out what had happened here from their sides. It\'s not appropriate to conclude the intelligence from one side without listening to the other party."

While the elder believed in what Yuan Shaoqing had told them, Ling Tianlong was skeptical about the cause of war since Yuan Shaoqing was famous for his greed and ambition. The latter even devoured the Myriad Cauldron Sect and conquered the northern territory.

In addition, Ling Tianlong saw the confrontation between Miaomiao\'s party and Liu Xuande\'s party. At first, the former thought that the stronger group came here to find trouble with Miaomiao, and it might connect to the recent incident in Red Sun City.

After seeing that Liu Xuande let Miaomiao go, Ling Tianlong suspected that something wasn\'t right. If Liu Xuande was Yuan Shaoqing\'s agents, they should have killed Miaomiao\'s party right away.

Ling Tianlong deducted that there was something that Yuan Shaoqing didn\'t tell them. He decided to ask his elder for permission to follow Miaomiao\'s group and investigate the city-razing incident at the same time.

Then, they were here.

"Haiz, Tianlong. Even if Jia Shan and Ma Ping were innocent, we will still have to accompany the alliance armies. I\'ve already investigated the movements of Siren City. They openly rebuilt the Huangjin Sect and orc camps nearby. Obviously, they were in league together."

Ling Tianlong furrowed his brows and nodded, "I know, but that doesn\'t explain why Wei Huang joins the alliance. Demons and humans are supposed to be enemies, but why are they targeting their fellow demon clan."

"We\'ll find out when we capture both Jia Shan and Ma Ping. Maybe, both of them might have sold their souls to evil dao gods and have been conspiring against everyone. Anyway, we\'ll capture the party that you saw and use them as hostages."

"I don\'t agree with using them as hostages, but you\'re right, master. Even if they were framed, we still need to eradicate them from the continent. Colluding with the orcs is an act of treason against humanity, and traitors have to die!"

With twisted logic, both men agreed to search for Miaomiao\'s party whereabouts while they searched for clues about the arson at the same time.

…

RUMBLE

With the blood of Ju Xie and Liu Guang, the gate to the vault reappeared.

Liu Guang was delighted and excited to see the treasure vault of her father, "What should I get? Will there be immortal-grade treasures? Are they any heaven-grade weapons for me to use?"

Miaomiao shrugged, "Why ask me? I have no idea what\'s inside. The choice is yours, but if possible, get something that can help us in the upcoming war."

"What if I get something for myself?"

"That\'s your choice. If you do, be sure to contribute a lot in the war."

"Hahaha! Okay! That\'s a promise! I\'ll get something for myself and be stronger than Ju Chen. I\'ll take over her captain role, and I\'ll be the strongest girl in the family!"

This girl was ambitious, but Miaomiao didn\'t mind it.

"Well, approach the door, then."

The eye on the door opened and stared at Miaomiao, Liu Guang, and Fogan.

[Only the descendants of the Liu Clan can enter!]

Liu Guang flew closer to the gate and splash a handful of her blood to the gate, "I\'m Liu Guang, the daughter of Liu Hong. I carry the bloodline of the Liu Clan!"

[…]

The gates slowly opened, allowing Liu Guang to enter the portal to another dimension.

Liu Guang grinned and waved her hand at Miaomiao, "I\'ll be back shortly."

"Take your time. Make sure to pick the one that you can use."

"Okie!"

She entered the portal inside the Vault Gate.

After Liu Guang entered the other realm, Miaomiao and Fogan had nothing to do.

Fogan had an idea, "Excuse this monk for a moment. This monk shall temporarily leave the plane and guard the entrance. The Qi in here is poisonous and this monk is allergic to death Qi."

"Allergic!?" Miaomiao had the urge to follow up with a punch line, but the orc lord had already left before he could come up with the right one-liner.

He sighed and sat cross-leg. Since he had nothing to do, he decided to cultivate and absorb surrounding Qi to his backup dantian. These unique Qi and element Qi would be useful for him in the future.

…

One hour passed.

Three hours passed.

Six hours passed.

Yet, Liu Guang was still inside the other realm. The colossus gate also kept the door open as she hadn\'t come out.

Miaomiao stared at the gate, wishing that he could enter the realm. He sighed.

"If I were a protagonist, I could have acquired a unique bloodline or something greater than the Liu Clan\'s bloodline. Then, I would have entered that gate to get heavenly artifacts. Haiz."

As Miaomiao lamented to his mob-like fate, he stared at the bright gate.

"Say, can I enter the gate with my bloodline, Mr. Gatekeeper?"

The eye on the gate slightly opened and stared at Miaomiao. Its Qi entered his pores as if it was checking his bloodline and his Qi.

Then, the verdict came out.

[You are not from the Liu Clan! Only the Liu Clan\'s descendants can enter!]

"Figured."

Miaomiao closed his eyes and continued meditating. But a second later, his second brain recalled the soul of Liu Bian inside ITS.

He wondered if he could use the soul to get an item from that realm. With such inspiration, Miaomiao concentrated and fell asleep.

It only took him a few seconds to shut down his senses and went into slumber. He entered the space.

The meadow looked the same whenever Miaomiao returned even though he had consumed a lot of essence cores to fill his dantian to the brim with Life Essence.

The balance of this world was more stabilized than before. Instead of flooding the place with Qi water, the Life Essence transformed into purified air, which refreshed Miaomiao whenever he took a deep breath.

The cause was the new building in front of Miaomiao.

…

Pylon Tower Level 2

Effects

Increase the capacity of your dantian by 100 Billion liters.

Increase your [Daily Energy Regeneration Rate] by 50 million liters.

Stabilize and harmonize your dantian\'s environment.

…

It was the building that cost 200 billion liters of life essence to build. Fortunately, Miaomiao cheated by using some of his essence cores and essence from the real world\'s pylon tower to buy this structure. He even went as far as upgrading it once by paying an additional 100 billion liters of life essence.

The investment was worth it.

…

[Basic Information]

Name: Mao Miaomiao (Cao Mao)

Cultivation Rank: Late 4th Stage (Essence Gathering Realm)

[Energy Pool]

Dragon Fire (Primary): 5/10

Earth (Secondary): 1/3

Wind (Secondary): 1/3

Lightning (Secondary): 3/3 (MAX)

…

With the stabilizer, Miaomiao managed to condense more basic element crystals in his dantian. However, he couldn\'t form more than three seas with his current volume of Life Essence.

He needed to expand the capacity of his dantian further, ideally, a trillion liters more.

This project hindered Miaomiao\'s growth, which kept him stuck at the late 4th-stage. Meanwhile, all his wives were already 5th-stage masters. Even Ju Chen, Ma Xingjuan, and Kang Yan were about to break through to the 6th-stage soon.

Miaomiao sighed, lamenting his fate for walking the protagonist\'s path. Building his foundation was time-consuming and troublesome.

He slapped his cheeks with both hands to psyche himself, trying not to get sidetracked from his objective.

Miaomiao walked toward Xu Chu, who was playing with the floating baby girl.

Xu Chu\'s FUTA physique was no more. However, she still walked around naked with her succubus form.

Miaomiao looked at the soul, "How\'s Liu Bian?"

"Oh, you\'re back so soon," Xu Chu grinned and pinched Liu Bian\'s soft cheeks. "Look, I\'ve erased the memory of this brat and transformed him into a girl. Now, SHE will grow up splendidly as your familiar and your sex slave."

"... How many pills did you feed him so far?"

"I\'ve lost count after it reached 100. Well, that\'s a year ago."

"…"

Time flowed differently in Isolation Training Space. While Miaomiao experienced one hour in the real world, 100 hours had passed in ITS. As such, Xu Chu had been enjoying her vacation in the space while she took her time recovering her strength.

"Hey, by chance, can I make this soul my familiar now and summon her to the real world?"

Miaomiao got to the point. He wanted to use Liu Bian\'s soul as a ticket to enter the vault.

Xu Chu laughed, "You already have a way to bring her outside. Do you forget the new heaven-grade items that you got from killing that monster a few days ago?"

"Monster? Oh, you meant, Xie Tian?"
