Five days passed in the blink of an eye. In the past five days, the fatty and I had been concentrating on practicing Zhang Kanwen's Soul Devouring Handprint.
I had to admit that the lineage of Mount Wen was mystical. Just the Soul Devouring Handprint alone made me realize this point.
With the Soul Devouring Handprint, not only did it increase my understanding of the power of devouring, it also improved my control of the Celestial Master Seal. More importantly, I could now actively use the seal's power of devouring. This undoubtedly increased my power greatly.
I was immersed in the mysteriousness of the Soul Devouring Handprint, while the fatty placed all his hopes of breaking the seal on the handprint. In the past five days, he had once again sunk into a frenzied state where he didn't step out of his house.
His hard work wasn't in vain. On the second day after learning the handprint from Zhang Kanwen, he told me that he felt the presence of True Essence. After five days of hard work, he had dissolved more than half of the seal on the power of Sky Punishment.
This once again overturned my understanding of the lineage of Mount Wen. I originally thought that even though the Soul Devouring Handprint was mystical, it wasn't worth mentioning compared to the power of Sky Punishment.
Even if he could break the seal, he would need at least ten days of effort. It would already be good for the fatty to use a little bit of his power before the Deer Chasing Expedition.
I didn't expect that in less than five days, the seal in the fatty's body had already been dissolved by half. He could even use thirty to forty percent of his cultivation.
As he had already reached the Celestial Master realm, thirty to forty percent of his cultivation wasn't much different from the complete Glory of Knowledge.
Thus, for the past two days, the fatty's face was filled with joy and didn't look as distressed as before.
Looking at the situation, the seal in the fatty's body would be completely dissolved in another ten to fifteen days. Furthermore, due to the Soul Devouring Handprint having the power of devouring, it was highly possible that the fatty would be able to form the Celestial Master Seal after devouring the power of Sky Punishment.
Thinking about that, I started to look forward to the words on the fatty's seal.
From the fatty's actions, if his seal had four words, I reckoned that it would be 'Born to be a foodie'.
On the day that I had agreed to meet with Lu Zhenyang, I had just opened my eyes. Before I even got out of bed, a wave of heat was emitted from the Sound Transmitting Talisman in my bosom.
It's here.
I took out the sound transmitting talisman. Sure enough, it was Lu Zhenyang's sound transmitting talisman.
I revolved my true essence and the light screen of the Sound Transmitting Talisman surged out. As the sinister aura around Lu Zhenyang's body became denser, two lines of words appeared in front of me.
"Two days later, Tower Village."
Ever since Lu Zhenyang came out of the mausoleum of the Shang Dynasty, his entire temperament had undergone an earth-shaking change. He had changed from the arrogant young master of a rich family to a cold, gloomy, and iron-masked man who treasured his words like gold.
If he could explain it in one word, he wouldn't say it twice.
Looking at the words slowly vanishing in front of me, I suddenly calmed down.
He had already decided to participate in the Martial Arts Competition. No matter what schemes Lu Zhenyang had, they would all be exposed in two days. Rather than constantly worrying, it was better to face them calmly.
After I put away Lu Zhenyang's Sound Transmission Talisman, the fatty opened his eyes on the floor not far from me.
This guy, because he wanted to verify the Soul Devouring Handprint with me, had been staying in my room for the past few days.
It was obvious that he hadn't slept at all last night as he was busy dispelling the Heaven's seal.
Looking at my actions, the fatty asked, "Is there news about Lu Zhenyang?"
I nodded. The fatty asked again, "There's finally news. When are we heading to Hebei?"
Even though the fatty's advancement had been godly, two days wasn't enough for him to completely dispel the seal.
I sighed, "There's still two more days.
It's a pity that your seal hasn't been completely dispelled. Why not ….. "
Before I could finish my sentence, the fatty understood what I meant and interrupted me, "How can we do that? The Martial Arts Competition was decided by the two of us and Lu Zhenyang. How can I let you go alone?
I know that with my current power, it's hard to deal with Lu Zhenyang. But don't we still have two days?
I'll work harder in these two days. No matter what, I'll be able to recover sixty to seventy percent of my power. At that time, with my Heaven's Master realm cultivation, I'll be able to be of some use. "
The fatty insisted on going because he was worried about my safety. But while he was worried about me, how could I not be worried about him?
If the fatty had reached the Heaven's Master realm and condensed the Heaven's Master seal, with his mystical formation, he'd be able to protect himself against Lu Zhenyang.
With the power of the Measuring Heaven Ruler and the Monster Refining Gourd, I naturally had nothing to worry about. But the current problem was that the fatty's cultivation hadn't recovered yet. Even if he could recover a little in these two days, it would still be too dangerous for him to face Lu Zhenyang without becoming a Heaven's Master and condensing the seal.
But before I could say anything, the fatty turned around and continued to cultivate the Soul Devouring Hand Seal.
Seeing that he was so serious in cultivating, I couldn't reject him anymore. I could only sigh and leave the room.
A few days ago, after Zhang Kanwen passed the Soul Devouring Hand Seal to the fatty and me, he said that he was going out for a few days and entrusted Little Wang Li to me, asking me to take care of him for a few days.
At that time, I asked him what he was going to do, but he didn't tell me and just went out. So in the past few days, besides cultivating, I came to check on Little Wang Li a few times a day.
When I reached Little Wang Li's room, Wang Kun and his wife had already gotten up and were waiting for me in the room.
I walked over and held Little Wang Li for a long time. Although the situation hadn't worsened, I couldn't help but worry.
Zhang Kanwen hadn't returned for a long time, but he didn't say why. Although he already had the cultivation of a Heaven's Master and I wasn't worried, I was worried that if he didn't come back, I would have to leave in two days. At that time, there would be no one to take care of Little Wang Li. If something happened, it would be big trouble.
While I was thinking about my worries, Little Wang Li woke up from his dream. His watery eyes blinked as he looked at me. I didn't know if he had a good dream, but he grinned at me.
The little fellow's angelic smile made the irritation in my heart slightly lessen. I reached out and scratched his nose, whispering, "I don't know where your master ran off to, but you don't have to worry. I, Junior Martial Uncle, will take care of you. Come, let's finish today's task first."
As I said that, I put him back on the bed, circulated my True Yuan, and began to sort out the little fellow's meridians.
After taking care of the little fellow every day for the past few days, I had learned the meridian sorting technique from Zhang Kanwen and was already very proficient.
My True Yuan entered Little Wang Li's body bit by bit, constantly circulating and nourishing his meridians.
Little Wang Li's soul was naturally strong. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to withstand the evil creature's scourge for nearly two years. In addition, Zhang Kanwen and I had been constantly sorting out his meridians. In the future, when the evil creature was expelled and he began to cultivate with Zhang Kanwen, he would definitely become a peerless genius that wasn't inferior to me.
Although Zhang Kanwen had already advanced to the Heaven's Master rank, if Mount Wen wanted to truly flourish, I would still have to rely on this baby who was still in swaddling clothes.
After absorbing the power of God's Punishment, my cultivation had also greatly improved. When I was sorting out Little Wang Li's meridians, I was much faster than Zhang Kanwen.
In less than ten minutes, I slowly withdrew the True Yuan from the little fellow's body. The little fellow also cooperated and laughed at me. He waved his two lotus root-like arms, asking me to hug him.
Looking at his adorable appearance, I grinned but didn't hug him. I just pinched his nose and smiled. "Don't worry, Martial Uncle will prepare more things for you today."
After saying that, I formed a seal with both hands and pressed on my dantian, summoning the seal.
I didn't know what Zhang Kanwen was busy with, but he hadn't returned yet.
If Zhang Kanwen still couldn't return after I left, I would definitely be worried about leaving Little Wang Li in the care of Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande.
Therefore, in order to avoid such a situation, I had to make preparations in advance and leave more tricks on Little Wang Li.
After absorbing the power of God's Punishment, my seal had broken through to five feet and six inches. Coupled with the changes in the seal, although my cultivation hadn't reached the late stage of the seal, my strength had completely surpassed the late stage of the Heaven's Master rank.
Compared to when I had just returned, I was much stronger.
I circulated my True Yuan and drove the Celestial Master Seal towards Little Wang Li.
The reason I was able to seal the black smoke ghost face that came out of the little fellow's body was mainly because I had the four words "Born Saint" on my seal.
