Ye Tiancheng knew an important thing here, which was that he had to survive and complete his life's mission.
His maternal family, who had looked down on him before, now became even more arrogant and self-important after casually latching onto a powerful figure, completely disregarding him.
On the mountain, the roaring voices rose and fell, never ceasing. You could feel how truly tragic the situation was. If an ordinary person encountered this, they would surely tremble in fear. But Ye Tiancheng, unaware of the situation, didn't know what dangers he would face. In reality, these dangers were already imminent. Some people believed this problem could be resolved quickly, but they failed to realize that the faster they tried to solve it, the more they would find it utterly unsolvable. Everything was happening before his eyes.
"To ignore such voices is the posture of a strong person. Facing all this with the stance of a strong person, you will be victorious."
The Divine Stone spoke within his body, hoping this fellow could achieve detachment from desire. Anyone with desire would have strong pleas, and those with strong pleas would encounter all sorts of dangers. What kind of terrifying state these dangers would present before them, only the person involved would know. But for Ye Tiancheng, who was already familiar with such things, he didn't care about these dangers at all. He could face them with ease and joy, and the reason was simple: he never cared about these dangers.
Simply put, these dangers posed no threat to him whatsoever.
"I didn't expect this guy to be such a talent. I'm impressed." The Divine Stone was surprised that he didn't care about the danger of the gun. The Great Green Snake, hearing the Divine Stone constantly nagging like a wife, was very displeased with the Divine Stone. It couldn't stand it and spoke, "You stinky… stone from a latrine, shut your bird mouth. He has his own plans. What's the use of you saying so much? If someone becomes strong, they naturally have the qualifications. If someone cannot become strong, they are naturally abandoned by this world. Whether you are willing to accept this reality or not, you must accept it. The strong ones, their bodies become very robust. What they can do, you cannot. What you can do, they cannot. Therefore, there's no need to say too much nonsense."
In his opinion, this guy was truly outrageous.
"What's the use of saying so much? This great me, I have my own calculations." As he said this, the Great Green Snake's expression was very stern. Hearing the Great Green Snake's words, the Divine Stone became furious.
"What are you talking about, you scoundrel!"
"If all this can be resolved well, I won't care even if you drop your pants. But now I need to level up, and you need to protect me… Otherwise, if I get angry, you will all suffer. Have you seen me lose my temper?" Ye Tiancheng finally couldn't stand their bickering and roared.
The Great Green Snake and the Divine Stone immediately quieted down. One had to admit that they finally understood what it meant to have a temper when one was powerful. The two of them arguing was like dispelling their loneliness. There are many bored people in this world because, over the long years, they couldn't find any way to relieve their loneliness. Finally, someone appeared, and they were so happy. The Great Green Snake was in the mountain temple in the back mountain back then, even more lonely than the stinky stone. At least this stinky stone, being in the ground, could get attention from villagers, while he in the back mountain had long been forgotten. Being forgotten is a terrible feeling, worse than death. So, he was lucky to be with a stinky stone.
The ferocious demonic beasts in the back mountain were nowhere comparable to the demonic beasts here, so they couldn't understand that a person's loneliness could not be expressed in words.
The back mountain was a very terrifying place, but Da Zui Mountain was even more terrifying. The demonic beasts here could only be dealt with by cultivators, and they had to be at the fifth level of the Golden Core stage. Now, he was only at the third level of the Golden Core stage, yet he came to this place and showed a calm expression. How could this not worry the Great Green Snake and the Divine Stone? It was just that the Divine Stone liked to babble a lot of nonsense, while the Great Green Snake was more silent. His silence didn't mean he wasn't worried. These two, in their back-and-forth, expressed all their emotions very directly. To live in a very down-to-earth manner, to become stronger, these guys naturally showed very strange expressions.
Everything these guys did was extremely disappointing.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, the air was torn apart, and a giant red spider crawled forward. This spider had eight legs and an eye the size of a fist. Its ferocious eyes stared straight ahead at Ye Tiancheng.
Ye Tiancheng never dreamed he would encounter such a ferocious fellow. He found this guy very vulgar and lewd.
This was because he hadn't detected any signs, and this guy had already appeared before him. This powerful aura made him feel a sense of displeasure that couldn't be described with a single word. He could directly curse these guys for being so uncivilized. Why did they appear before him without any warning? Normally, even in a fight, there should be a dialogue.
Then, they would start fighting in earnest because many movies were like that. Before fighting, they would say a lot of nonsense, and then they would assume a fighting stance. This guy, however, attacked him by surprise without any warning. This was too dishonorable. Ye Tiancheng was very, very angry. He looked at the big red spider with great dissatisfaction and said, punching towards the guy, "You damn legs, why did you jump out without saying a word? You scared me to death?"
"Because you are a very evil person. After sleeping with that woman, you even killed her. Why should I fight an evil person like you openly? Because your evil is more evil than mine, so why fight in a fair and square manner? If a sneak attack is successful, then it's good, hahahaha…" The red spider laughed very wantonly, as if it didn't put Ye Tiancheng in its eyes at all. You must know that this guy was the epitome of evil, the devil among devils, and his evil was even greater than Ye Tiancheng's. From his eyes, it revealed a desire to devour Ye Tiancheng, because the flesh of cultivators could replenish true qi and cultivate a state of agelessness and immortality. Therefore, the flesh of cultivators was the ideal food for these demons.
"Well, we've said enough, so let's fight. Let's see who wins." Ye Tiancheng finished speaking and waved his fist, his powerful aura suppressing forward. The red spider sneered, its form flashing. His fist didn't hit it but struck the spot where it had just stood, pulverizing the stone.
Ye Tiancheng didn't expect this guy to dodge his fist so easily. Actually, it wasn't hard to imagine, because only those who reached the fifth level of the Golden Core realm could play here. For a cultivator like him at the third level of the Golden Core realm, even dealing with an ordinary one was very strenuous.
"A mere third-level Golden Core cultivator dares to be so arrogant in front of me. Don't you know that even those at the fifth level dare not be as wildly arrogant as you are here? Then you will die with conviction. Who told you to like showing off so much?"
"So what if I show off? Even though only those at the fifth level of the Golden Core realm play here, I like to roam freely at the third level of the Golden Core realm. What can you do about it? At worst, we'll fight to the death."
Ye Tiancheng kept talking nonsense to him, just wanting to find the red spider's weakness and launch an attack. The red spider was not stupid either, because it had evolved human-like thinking, and it knew what humans were thinking.
Although it said on the surface that it didn't care about Ye Tiancheng's third-level Golden Core cultivation, it was very worried in its heart because it had already sensed two different forces within Ye Tiancheng's body, or rather, two-sixths of the power. There was also a force, though weak, that was very sharp. This guy was not bad, being able to sense these things proved that it had eaten many cultivators before. The more demonic beasts ate cultivators, the wider their range of detection would be, and the more accurate their sensing of others' cultivation power would be.
This spider actually existed here, but it hadn't shown itself. The reason it was lying here was that it was enjoying the scene of Ye Tiancheng's live broadcast of his battle with Li Yuanyuan for 300 rounds. This guy possessed human intelligence.
Of course, it knew about love and desire.
The fact that it hid there for so long proved that its cultivation was very profound.
It didn't appear suddenly because it wanted to watch the entire process and learn from Ye Tiancheng. One had to admit that this guy was very evil, so evil that it was disgusting. It watched for a long time, and when it got tired, it yawned. When it finally finished yawning, Ye Tiancheng was also heading this way.
Then, it intercepted Ye Tiancheng halfway and suddenly launched an attack, but it didn't hit Ye Tiancheng, which surprised it. Because in previous battles, its sneak attacks were very successful, but they didn't work on Ye Tiancheng at all. At that time, it was very puzzled. It was only when it finally discovered the two-sixths of power within Ye Tiancheng that it understood why he could escape its attacks. But it was even happier.
By eating the flesh and blood of such a cultivator, it could easily level up. It really wanted to become a powerful demon, so it could swagger through the Da Zui Mountain area. In the world of cultivators, strength is paramount. As long as you are strong enough, you can do whatever you want, and no one can do anything to you, because for a strong person, the entire world is open and unobstructed.
Of course, the prerequisite is that you can become a powerful demon or cultivator, because if you are weak, you can only live precariously, fearing discovery. As soon as someone discovers your existence, you will face utter destruction.
In the world of cultivators, being one level stronger than you means you can instantly kill you. Of course, there are exceptions, such as low-level cultivators possessing powerful magical treasures, like Ye Tiancheng, who had the help of the Divine Stone and the Great Green Snake.
Therefore, he could kill opponents of higher levels and instantly kill demonic beasts several times stronger than himself.
Ye Tiancheng was destined to become a powerful person because heaven took good care of him, paving the way for him. His desire to become a powerful cultivator was merely heaven's will, just like Tang Sanzang, who was already known as the scripture seeker from the mainland to Tibet. He only needed to go through a process to become a Buddha. The so-called eighty-one tribulations were just for others to see, because he was destined not to die. Many people protected him, including Tang Sanzang's many decisions and his four disciples who protected his safety. Therefore, as long as heaven decrees that you will succeed, you will succeed even without effort. Heaven decrees that a minority will become successful, and the majority will become sacrifices. This is the mercilessness of the Heavenly Dao. No matter how hard you try, it will not compare to heaven's will. One can only say it is fate.
Just as this guy was dividing his attention, he suddenly found Ye Tiancheng's figure erupting, and a punch landed on its shell.
The sudden rapid movement caught the red spider, which was still in a daze, off guard. Before it could dodge, it was killed with one blow. Everything happened in a flash, with the speed of a startled rabbit, leaving the red spider no ability to escape the attack. Therefore, Ye Tiancheng's nonsense was entirely to find an opportunity to strike lightning-fast. After all his nonsense, he successfully lured the guy into his range. Because this guy was thinking, it became very sluggish, creating an opportunity for Ye Tiancheng.
The red spider died very unjustly. It never expected to become someone's sacrifice so confusedly. This guy, perhaps after becoming a ghost, would go to the underworld to complain to King Yama, but such complaints would be useless because Ye Tiancheng was a person of destiny.
Even if he complained to King Yama, King Yama would still favor Ye Tiancheng because heaven's will was for Ye Tiancheng to live without scruples and to trample on the lives and dignity of others, because he was protected by heaven.
This guy might just be an unfortunate thing. He would never have dreamed that powerful people become powerful and weak people become weak. It's because fate is like that. Heaven only helps those of destiny, not idle people. They are in the same system as Ye Tiancheng. Ye Tiancheng can do whatever he wants, things that others wouldn't even dare to imagine. The so-called Heavenly Dao is the path arranged by heaven, and this path only gives a green light to a few.
And Ye Tiancheng is one of these few.
Such Ye Tiancheng is truly an awesome existence.
He does all sorts of bad things without scruples, and with no reservations, he becomes even more arrogant and scoundrelly.
"Why has this guy become so evil?" The Great Green Snake asked the Divine Stone in surprise, having never dared to think or do the bad things Ye Tiancheng did. The Divine Stone chuckled and said, "That's because he is a person of destiny."
"I'll be damned!"
This guy naturally understood what it meant to be a person of destiny. It meant that heaven was favoring Ye Tiancheng, and he could do whatever he wanted, without any scruples, and do many bad things.
He could do these bad things however he wanted, and no one could control Ye Tiancheng's will.
Ye Tiancheng could be a complete bastard. He never thought that one day he would face divine retribution. Heaven lets you play, but first, it makes you crazy. Although he is a person of destiny, he cannot go too far. Therefore, once he commits an act that incurs heaven's wrath, he will have nowhere to hide. This guy doesn't understand this at all, so he is still acting recklessly.
"You can't go on like this. One day, you will be finished. Heaven doesn't like people with your style. You do things too outrageously. You should restrain yourself and not be too indulgent. Like a meteor, you can't say you will only have destruction in the end, while planets exist long-term by following their orbits." The Divine Stone said these words, hoping Ye Tiancheng would correct his mistakes, but this guy never listened to good advice.
Because he went from having nothing to having a lot, this nouveau riche mentality is very terrifying. Generally, people call you a nouveau riche and say you are very uncultured, just a rich bumpkin. This will make people look down on you.
Ye Tiancheng doesn't care whether he perishes or not. He only cares if he can get what he wants. If he can get it, then it doesn't matter, because he really likes the song "Aiya Ya, Happy Ah." As long as a person is happy, even if they perish the next moment, it's worth it, because life is short, and it's best to enjoy oneself in time.
Once a person falls into a dead end, they never listen to others' good words. They only think they are correct and only like to understand and do things according to their own way. They also don't listen to others' good words. Such behavior is very terrifying. They don't know that one day they will be doomed forever.
Of course, those who only think about today and not the future are not afraid at all, because they don't know what fear is, nor do they know what eternal damnation is. Only when all this falls upon them will they feel fear. People are like this. As long as it doesn't fall upon you, you will always feel that the world is not so terrifying, nor will you feel that death is a terrifying thing.
These words are most fitting to describe Ye Tiancheng now. He is like a brat who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, and even more like a spoiled son of a high official. His actions have long exceeded the world's tolerance, yet he still thinks he is doing a great job, unaware that he has already been rejected by the world. One day, he will have to pay for everything he has done. When retribution comes, he will know that his so-called being a person of destiny is a laughable matter.
Before all this happens, he doesn't care about it at all, nor is he afraid.
"There's no use saying so much to him. We should take care of ourselves and prepare for that day to arrive sooner," the Great Green Snake said to the Divine Stone.
"That's not necessarily true. Until the end, no one knows what will happen in the future. Perhaps he will turn over a new leaf." It is certainly a worthy thing for a prodigal son to turn over a new leaf, but who can do it?
