Chapter 90: Determined to Become a Personal Grandmaster

After the demon and the spirit met, they quickly hit it off. The Three-Eyed Tiger took a liking to Mo Chen’s background, hoping that when Mo Chen restores his strength and status, he can give him a hand. After all, he is an Upper Realm Immortal, much more formidable than the strongest in the Celestial Demon Domain, the Golden Dragon King. With him backing, wouldn’t it mean he could walk sideways? If lucky, he might even ascend with him. On Mo Chen’s side, of course, he valued the current strength of the Three-Eyed Tiger. A Demon King of this level was considered top-notch in the Lower Realm. With the Three-Eyed Tiger’s protection, he needn’t worry about the Blood Transformation Demon Blade being taken by small fry or his Residual Soul being extracted. So during this time, the two were scheming together in this deep mountain forest. With the help of the Three-Eyed Tiger, Mo Chen’s Residual Soul restored to some extent, finally allowing him to part from the Blood Transformation Demon Blade and see the light of day again. However, he was unlucky enough to be discovered by Jiang Cheng. But because Jiang Cheng took him in and made a Contract, he won’t be suppressed by the Lower Realm’s Rules anymore. "So now you only have this wisp of Residual Soul left, nothing else?" Brother Cheng was not satisfied. No wonder this guy only scored ten thousand; turns out he’s an extremely weakened, incomplete version of an Immortal. "I still have a Companion Immortal Artifact, though it has fallen to the level of a Spiritual Artifact, as long as I properly nurture my Immortal Essence, it can be restored..." The identity of Demon Cultivator was understood without saying, yet Mo Chen still called himself an Immortal with Immortal Artifact. This guy cared about his face till the end. "What are your plans moving forward? I warn you if you dare try to take over any of my Disciples, I will destroy you immediately!" In Jiang Cheng’s view, what a Residual Soul wanted most was to take over a body. But soon after, Mo Chen dispelled his doubts. "You’re overthinking. My Immortal Soul, though broken, below the Saint Realm, no body can withstand the injection of a soul of this level; it would just collapse. So it’s impossible for me to take over a disciple of the Feixian Sect." Otherwise, he would have taken over someone from the Duanmu Family long ago. Jiang Cheng nodded; since there was no threat and he couldn’t resist anyway, he let him be. "What’s your current strength? Who can you take down?" Speaking of strength, Mo Chen said proudly, "Below Daoist Palace, I can kill with a thought." "That’s it?" Jiang Cheng curled his lips. Mo Chen immediately felt frustrated. You yourself are only at Celestial Fate Fourth Layer, and the strongest disciple of the Feixian Sect is at Spirit Platform Ninth Layer. Isn’t being able to instantly kill Celestial Fate Ninth Layer impressive enough for you? "Below Ascending to Saint, if at the cost of damaging my Immortal Soul, I can also kill..." "Alright, alright, just rest." Brother Cheng immediately lost interest; what Immortal, this was not as good as the Three-Eyed Tiger. This laissez-faire attitude made Mo Chen breathe a sigh of relief and silently thought this person was quite easy to get along with. But on the other hand, the Immortal’s pride took a heavy hit. So, he was somewhat unwilling to clear his name. "If you could return my Main Soul Mark, I could instantly restore some strength!" "By that time... I could easily obliterate the Three-Eyed Fierce Tiger!" He still remembered how the Three-Eyed Tiger betrayed him just now, teaching Jiang Cheng how to control him. These words made the Three-Eyed Tiger’s hair stand on end. "Hey, hey, are you serious? Don’t forget who has been taking care of you these days!" Jiang Cheng shook his head, showing no interest in this suggestion. "Do you take me for a fool?" Return his Main Soul Mark, this guy would undoubtedly backstab. He wouldn’t add any inexplicable risks to himself. "If you could find Saint Grade Soul Nourishing Spirit Medicine Treasures, allowing my Primordial Spirit to replenish, I could also recover a small portion of strength." The Duanmu Family was really too weak before. Don’t mention Saint Grade Elixir, they couldn’t even obtain Spirit Medicine above Tier Seven. Above Spirit Medicine is Treasure Pill, Profound Pill, and Holy Pill. There’s too much of a gap in level, so Mo Chen couldn’t be bothered to rely on them. Saint Grade Spirit Elixirs are extremely rare in the Lower Realm, let alone finding a Pill Master of that grade even if they obtained those Heavenly and Earthly Treasures. That level of elixir is hard even for the Three-Eyed Tiger to obtain. With Jiang Cheng, he initially didn’t hold any hope either. But this kid inexplicably got his Main Soul Mark and inexplicably got the Three-Eyed Tiger’s help... This led Mo Chen to associate him with a specific identity—the Child of the Plane with deep fortune! Such people typically have a tragic background, but a twist of fate reverses their fortune, leading to immense luck. Although they may face small setbacks along the way, they can always miraculously turn danger into safety. Their enemies, no matter how strong, would get countered by them. They have another significant trait—an affinity for Treasures. Wherever they go, they can easily obtain Heavenly and Earthly Treasures and Divine Weapons, even owning a dog could be the variant descendant of an Ancient Qilin, as if favored by the heavens. In the Upper Realm Immortal Domain, such Children of the Plane exist. Some exhaust their luck upon reaching the Immortal Domain, becoming ordinary immortals. Some continue to sustain their luck, ultimately becoming a powerhouse in the Immortal Domain. Could this child be such a person? If he truly is, following him might actually be beneficial, maybe even reversing fate against the odds. Right, when those Children of the Plane rise, some had a ’Personal Grandmaster’ or an injured ’Fairy Big Sister’ hidden in a weapon or ring, guiding them discreetly throughout. Guiding the Child of the Plane’s growth as a mentor, a friend for life. How similar is this to myself? Also born extraordinary, once powerful, but suffered severe injuries... Could it be that by some bizarre coincidence, I too have become someone’s ’Personal Grandmaster’? He remembered two Children of the Plane whose ’Personal Grandmaster’ not only regained their original strength in the end but also gained from their flying star opportunities, becoming several times stronger than at their peak, their abundance of Treasures envied by all. Thinking of this, he suddenly accepted his current situation. Even considered it might be a good thing to follow Jiang Cheng. But this thought transformation, Brother Cheng couldn’t sense. Or even if he knew, he might not care. Does he need a ’Personal Grandmaster’? "Alright, alright, talking about Saint Grade Elixirs, dreaming of nonsense, just wash up and sleep. I don’t need your help; stop thinking about those unachievable things." Ah? What? Isn’t this not how the script should play out? Mo Chen was a bit at a loss. Logically, having an Immortal submit to oneself, shouldn’t there be wild joy? Even if this Immortal was heavily injured and not at a tenth thousandth of peak strength, his knowledge and experience were still there. Especially if he truly ascended in the future, it would be like having an old hand in the unfamiliar Immortal Domain. He would’ve already gotten connections and relationships in the Immortal Domain, saving countless detours! Look at the Three-Eyed Tiger’s previous attitude, it’s clear no one in the Lower Realm could refuse a ’Personal Grandmaster’ like a five-star quality perk. Even a Demon King Saint Tier is no exception! Seeing Jiang Cheng about to leave, he couldn’t take it anymore. It was too damaging to his self-esteem. Dignified Upper Immortal offering his own assistance, yet met with a cold shoulder? "Stop right there!" He rushed forward, blocking the path. Due to being overly emotional, he even roared loudly. "Why look down on people?" "Do you know what you’ve missed out on? You will regret it for life!"
