Chapter 708: Becoming a God, Brothers

In the year 6202 of the Xia calendar, in Huaxia, in the Cloud Mountain Range

The Cloud Mountain Range, formerly known as the Yunzhong Mountain Range, stretches for over a hundred thousand miles. Most of the area remains in its original state, well-preserved.

Before the spiritual energy recovery, even though the human habitat was gradually encroaching on the mountains, the population of Huaxia was not large at that time, only around three to four billion. The territory of Huaxia was vast, so environmental damage was not severe.

After the spiritual energy recovery, multiple large spiritual veins appeared in the Cloud Mountain Range, of extraordinary value. It then became a protected area, less susceptible to large-scale destruction. Thus, the Cloud Mountain Range still maintains its original style today.

However, the territory of the Cloud Mountain was divided. Lin Jiang personally took the most essential part, making it his private domain. There are several hundred similar private domains, all belonging to the upper echelons of Huaxia, including cultivators who have awakened.

The rest was monopolized by some power factions of Huaxia, such as the major cultivation academies, which also marked off a piece of land and named it their academy’s branch, serving as a place of quiet cultivation for some senior students.

In a private estate, a man approached Muse and said, "Boss, we have news. Little Wu has been caught. Your mind control spell didn’t work."

"Poor Little Wu, his wife couldn’t wait for him to come home."

Muse sighed heavily. His true identity was being revealed. He had set up many mind control spells, dividing his trusted men into several teams scattered around Shen Continent. Little Wu’s team was the most hidden, like his decoys, but they were discovered.

"Boss, when I bought this villa estate years ago, I used some shady means for the funds. The source of the money might get us into trouble. Boss, we need to plan ahead."

"Don’t worry, I’ll leave as soon as I finish my mission."

Muse remembered reading in ancient texts about Cloud Mountain Range being a paradise and hell for independent cultivators during the cultivation era. There were some good places that frequently changed owners. Independent cultivators could freely hunt and seize each other’s caves, but now it’s protected, no more open seizing, only trading.

The man in front of him was one of his trusted subordinates who had been secretly lurking in Huaxia for years. Muse had provided him with operational funds to buy this estate. But his leadership of the spy organization kept getting exposed, and the source of some funds was questionable, posing a high risk of being discovered.

"Yes, boss."

"How is the investigation into the target’s whereabouts going?"

"Almost figured out the pattern, Aurora Demon King was imprisoned by human leader Lin Jiang in Cloud Mountain. Although Lin Jiang’s territory in Cloud Mountain is the largest, there aren’t many people. Aurora Demon King is restless by nature, once·····"

"Ahem, to put it simply."

"Yes, boss, in simple terms, Aurora Demon King is restless and can’t sit still. For the past few years, he has been flirting with female students and noble ladies in Cloud Mountain."

"Flirting?"

Muse was stunned, is Aurora Demon King this carefree?

"Indeed, if we didn’t know his identity as a Demon King, it would be really hard to believe."

"Interesting, please continue, give me more details."

"Well, Aurora Demon King is imprisoned in Cloud Mountain, with nothing to do all day. So he pretended to be a master and strolled around the branch schools of those practicing academies. Because of his high cultivation level, higher than those so-called deans, no one could discover his true identity. He started this game of pretending to be a kind old man, most of the students are young and inexperienced, naive. By using some romantic flirting techniques, he almost had a perfect track record with one after another."

In addition to female students, some noble ladies were the same. Cloud Mountain has at least a thousand mansions, over the years Aurora Demon King has succeeded many times. For female students, it was a fleeting romance, for noble ladies, it was a long-term affair."

"That overbearing guy deserves to be cursed, no, he’s a demon, a devil from the demon clan."

Muse sighed, actually, he wanted to say that weirdos were coming out from the demon clan, but he still respected the Demon King.

"He’s such a devil, I spent a lot of money, but still can’t get my goddess to like me. He’s from the demon clan, with so many women around him, it’s really enviable."

"Has the Demon King caused any deaths?"

Suddenly, Muse asked, this time his task was to deal with the Aurora Demon King. If the Aurora Demon King caused any deaths, he would have the opportunity to strike.

"No, the offspring of the demon clan and the human clan are Demon Humans, who are not favored by either side. Aurora Demon King is very cautious and has never caused any deaths."

"What a pity."

"Boss, this Aurora Demon King is extremely fast, and his cultivation is higher than ours. We dare not reveal our identities, what should we do?"

"Aurora Demon King likes women, then let’s arrange for women. You go find some, they should be beautiful and understanding."

Muse said that liking women can be a useful hobby.

"The Aurora Demon King has very high demands, boss…"

"If you have money, why worry about not finding a woman? I will allocate some funds for you to handle it. Brother, if we complete this task, we will become legendary. Is there anyone in our circle who is more amazing than us?"

Muse knew that Huaxia was currently investigating him. If he could still complete this mission under Huaxia’s watch, then becoming a legend was inevitable. A true god, indeed.

·······

In the Cloud Mountain Range, Small Shadiao sat among the clouds, releasing his divine consciousness quietly.

He was under house arrest in the Cloud Mountain Range, carrying a tracking device that couldn’t be blocked or removed, or else Big Shadiao would immediately come to kill him.

Originally, his activities were confined to Lin Jiang’s private territory. However, due to the persistent requests from Lin Ying and Big Shadiao, they had to release the restrictions, expanding his territory to the entire Cloud Mountain Range.

This gave the restless Small Shadiao another chance to cause trouble. He wasn’t very motivated for cultivation; he would just eat any treasures he found, and his body would automatically absorb them. If working hard didn’t yield much, then why bother.

The territory of Cloud Mountain Range has been divided up, with several dozen practice academies holding land here. Small Shadiao enjoys being a leader the most. He is a true leader with the cultivation level of the fifth stage, equivalent to the Soul Changing Period. Among cultivators, the highest rank for the new generation is only Nascent Soul. If not a leader, then what is he?

Small Shadiao knows a lot about human martial arts, having followed Lin Jiang for thousands of years. Teaching students is not a problem for him and he can truly help them, although he can be a bit tricky, especially when teaching female students, he easily gets them into his room.

Small Shadiao is quite skilled in the romantic field, not only because of his emotional intelligence but also his strength. Without revealing Small Shadiao’s identity as a demon, his qualities are very appealing.

This is like on Blue Star where a man, 1.8 meters tall, with eight-pack abs, a face like Wu Yanzu, the wealth of the school principal, the social status of an academician, and still young, going after a girl. How many would not succeed?

"Oh, another beautiful little fairy coming?"

Soon after, Small Shadiao saw a pretty young girl practicing sword skills in front of a villa. She seemed like a beginner with her swaying movements. Small Shadiao’s eyes lit up at the sight of such a beautiful little fairy.

Unable to resist his urge to teach, Small Shadiao quickly arrived in front of the villa.
