Chapter 632 King Calm Sea’s End

“Master.” King Calm Sea bowed respectfully. Qin Wu looked at his disciple. This disciple had once been his pride. He had a chance of becoming Archean Mountain’s fourth Supremacy after Li Guan, Luo Tang, and Qin Wu, but he had taken the wrong path. He believed that he could obtain the demons’ benefits for himself without letting them take advantage of him. However, the demons ultimately schemed against him.. If not for Meng Chuan’s actions, King Calm Sea would have caused even greater harm.

“The 300-year deadline is up,” said Qin Wu coldly. “Archean Mountain allows you to take a look around the world. In three days, you have to return to Archean Mountain. Without the sect’s permission, you are not allowed to leave the mountain again.”

“Yes, I understand.” King Calm Sea bowed slightly and accepted the sect’s decision. Qin Wu looked at him and turned to leave.

With Meng Chuan present in Archean Eon Realm, an invisible domain naturally covered the entirety of Archean Eon Realm. It was fine if he didn’t pay attention to it. Nothing could escape Meng Chuan’s notice as long as he paid a sliver of attention. Thus, Qin Wu wasn’t worried about any negative consequences for letting King Calm Sea roam the human world for three days.

“My seventh son.” King Calm Sea looked at Yan Jin.

Yan Jin coldly glared at King Calm Sea. “Xue Ting, I came today to ask you if you have learned your mistake. Do you regret it?” Even now, Yan Jin didn’t recognize his father.

“Hahaha.” King Calm Sea looked at his son and laughed. “What mistakes should I have learned? What regrets should I have?”

“Your children.” Yan Jin couldn’t hide his anger. “My mother and all the other innocent, pitiful people—you deliberately arranged for them to end up in such a tragic state. Many of the hardships we experienced were caused by you. These are your sins.”

King Calm Sea looked at Yan Jin and indifferently said, “If you had enjoyed riches and honor since you were young and didn’t suffer any hardships, would you have become a Regis Godfiend? Would your fifth brother have attained such accomplishments back then? You have to thank your childhood for your accomplishments.”

“Gratitude?” Yan Jin laughed in anger. “I never expected you to be so crazy even after 300 years. You still don’t care about pitiful people like my mother?”

King Calm Sea calmly said, “To nurture a Regis Godfiend like you, your mother and the other mortals sacrificed themselves. They have contributed greatly to humanity. Their contributions are much greater than many mediocre mortals.”

“You truly are unrepentant!” Yan Jin’s eyes were filled with anger. “Xue Ting, I’ve been cultivating arduously for more than 300 years. I’ve created a sword technique. Have a taste of it and see how powerful my sword is!”

With that said, Yan Jin attacked.

The sword beam was dazzling as it streaked across the sky and appeared at King Calm Sea’s chest.

“Hahaha.” King Calm Sea laughed loudly as he struck out with his bare hands.

Yan Jin was rather talented. Although he couldn’t reach the Supremacy realm at the peak of his body’s vitality, he had cultivated for more than 300 years. Archean Mountain’s resources had also greatly increased, and Meng Chuan often gave lectures. Although Yan Jin’s current strength was inferior to that of King True Martial, his technique realm had reached the mid-stage Grotto-Heaven realm. His sword art had drawn upon the Myriad Sword Sect’s experience, and he had learned the Star Cluster Building’s legacies. It was extremely powerful.

However, after a short exchange

Clang!

Yan Jin was slammed into the mountainside, causing the mountain to tremble. Only with the sect’s array formation protecting it did the mountain not collapse. However, he produced a huge crater. Yan Jin lay there with a pale face. There was a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.

I lost? Yan Jin found it unacceptable.

King Calm Sea, Xue Ting, had cultivated 100 years longer than him. However, Archean Mountain’s cultivation resources were much better than before. Meng Chuan-a Tribulation Eminence-often gave lectures. Under such circumstances, Yan Jin believed that he could surpass King Calm Sea. “A self-created sword art at the mid-stage Grotto-Heaven realm? It’s already impressive that you can exchange dozens of blows with me,” said King Calm Sea indifferently as he calmly looked at the heavily injured Yan Jin. “However, I’ve cultivated in the World Gap for 300 years. I’ve already reached the Grotto-Heaven realm’s late stage. You are still not my match. If your fifth brother had cultivated for 300 years, he probably would have surpassed me. You are still lacking.”

“Xue Ting, you are talented. Back then, Archean Mountain nurtured you with all their might, but what did you do?” Yan Jin sneered. “You saved some people while guarding the city passes, but you killed them later. You even killed many Godfiends. If it weren’t for Meng Chuan, you would have killed even more Godfiends and mortals.”

King Calm Sea’s expression changed slightly. This was something he had never been able to forgive himself for. He originally thought that he could obtain the demons’ benefits for himself before striking back at them, but he ended up falling for the demons’ tricks.

“You used unscrupulous means to increase your strength,” said Yan Jin angrily. “You even used unscrupulous means to nurture your children. However, in fact, you can’t be unscrupulous when it comes to teaching your children and juniors. An orthodox path needs to be taken. If you take the wrong path, you will go astray and naturally deviate thousands of kilometers. I never expected you to remain so stubborn after 300 years.”

My path was crooked? A deviation of thousands of kilometers? King Calm Sea looked at his hands. His entire body seemed to be formed from ice. He was no longer a normal human. Did I go astray? King Calm Sea asked himself this question silently before leaving.

When Yan Jin saw this, he gritted his teeth in indignation. He was indignant for his family, his siblings. So many of his family members had been harmed because of this lunatic.

Three days later.

King Calm Sea, who traveled the world, returned to Archean Mountain.

“Master.” King Calm Sea arrived in front of Qin Wu.

“From today onwards, you are not allowed to leave the mountain without the sect’s permission.” Qin Wu looked at him coldly. King Calm Sea should’ve had a bright future, but he ended up in such a state.

“I’ve been walking the human world for three days. Indeed, this world is much more prosperous and exciting than before.” King Calm Sea smiled at Qin Wu. “This is the world I wanted to see even in my dreams. Now that I’ve seen it, Master, help me tell Meng Chuan that I’m very grateful to him. I’m grateful that he completed the dream I wanted to complete the most.

“Master, please tell Yan Jin that I have indeed gone astray on my path,” said King Calm Sea. “I’ve even implicated him, Feng’er, and many others. Perhaps if I taught them well, they would’ve grown like Meng Chuan and become equally strong. I’ve reached the end of my life. Master, I’ve let you down.”

King Calm Sea bowed respectfully. Following that, he looked up. When he straightened his body, his body had already begun to dissipate, turning into dust.

Qin Wu silently looked at his disciple. The disciple—who had long transformed into an Ice Guard-dissipated in front of him.

Meng Chuan appeared out of thin air beside the courtyard. Meng Chuan could naturally sense King Calm Sea’s death.

“King Calm Sea is dead,” said Qin Wu. “He snapped to his senses before he died.”

“He had a miserable childhood. He also saw the darkest side of the human world. All of that warped his personality,” said Meng Chuan. “His warped personality affected his wives and children. He also harmed a large number of mortals and Godfiends. He caused great harm, but he guarded Calm Sea Pass for many years and saved many people. He also contributed by patrolling the World Gap for 300 years.”

“He has made contributions, but he also committed a grave mistake!” said Qin Wu. “He failed to live up to Archean Mountain’s nurturing.”

“Yeah.” Meng Chuan looked at Qin Wu. “Master, I’ll be entering seclusion soon. You can look for me if there’s anything important. Otherwise, don’t disturb me.”

“Alright.” Qin Wu nodded.

“Quickly consume the longevity extension treasure I prepared for you,” reminded Meng Chuan.

“There’s no rush,” said Qin Wu with a smile. “I’m still hundreds of years away from the end of my lifespan. If I don’t break through in the next three years, it won’t be too late to consume it.”

With Qin Wu’s current status, although he didn’t know the exact value of the longevity extension treasures Meng Chuan had prepared, he knew that anything that could extend a Supremacy’s lifespan was extremely precious. Therefore, he didn’t want to use it easily.

“Alright then.” Meng Chuan didn’t force Qin Wu when faced with his master’s stubbornness. He had prepared many gifts for his fellow men and the sect. He had even prepared gifts for his best friends, Yan Jin, Yan Chitong, and company. He had also prepared gifts for his grandchildren. Although they didn’t cost more than 10,000 cubes, they were still of great use.

Of course, these objects only provided external help. Whether it was the race or an individual, cultivation still depended on themselves.

Meng Chuan turned and left. He began to focus on his cultivation in seclusion.

He had a feeling that the sixth Heavenly Tribulation wasn’t far away.
