Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1759 - 408: Obtaining the Divine Melt God Pill, Advancing to the Melt God Realm
Previously on Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!...
Outside the Ming King Hall, the Demon Slayer Monk found himself bewildered and disoriented, staring at the unyielding large door before him.
Why would it not yield to his might?
What sort of door possessed such incredible strength?
The Demon Slayer Monk rose, approached the main entrance of the Ming King Hall, and delivered a series of forceful blows with his hand.
Thunk, thunk, thunk!
As the sound of his assault echoed, the Demon Slayer Monk bellowed, "Chen Jiusi, do not presume a mere door can hold me back. I offer you this chance: open it, and I shall spare your life!"
Chen Jie observed the door, acknowledging its remarkable sturdiness.
It was capable of withstanding the Demon Slayer Monk's battering, not indefinitely, but for a significant period.
The distinctive construction of the Ming King Hall was a detail he had gleaned from casual conversation with Liu Futong. It was said that during its erection, the Zoroastrian Sect had commissioned the most skilled artisans from the Lu Ban lineage.
As descendants of the legendary Lu Ban, their aptitude for construction was unparalleled. They masterfully integrated the Ming King Hall with the very topography of Bright Peak, ensuring that any assault upon the hall would be met with the mountain's own strength, dispersing the impact.
A Lu Ban descendant had purportedly declared, "This hall shall endure for ten thousand years, unyielding even to the mightiest of masters!"
It now appeared Liu Futong's words were not mere hyperbole; the hall's solidity was truly astounding.
Chen Jie was lost in thought as the Demon Slayer Monk's voice boomed from outside, "Chen Jiusi, will you emerge or not? If you refuse, I will break down this door. Do not imagine a simple door can impede me; it is an impossibility!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie glanced at the door and retorted, "Heh, Demon Slayer Monk, had you the ability to breach it, you would have done so already. Cease your incessant clamoring. If you possess no such skill, then depart swiftly, lest the Zoroastrian Sect's true experts return and deliver swift judgment upon you."
The Demon Slayer Monk let out a contemptuous laugh. "Heh, the Zoroastrian Sect's experts are hard-pressed to protect themselves at this juncture, how can they concern themselves with me? I shall ask you one final time: do you intend to come out or not?"
Chen Jie’s response was firm. "I shall not!"
The Demon Slayer Monk declared, "Very well, very well. If you refuse the honorable path, you shall face the inevitable consequence. Do not blame me for showing no mercy!"
"Witness as I shatter this insignificant door!"
With a guttural roar of fury, the Demon Slayer Monk unleashed a relentless assault upon the door, his teeth clenched in sheer irascibility.
The percussive rhythm of his assault reverberated against the entrance.
At this juncture, Chen Jie disregarded the commotion and proceeded deeper into the hall. He soon discovered a concealed mechanism beneath the Ming King's throne and promptly activated the Heaven and Earth Transposition, engaging the apparatus concealed below.
A series of mechanical clicks ensued, and swiftly, a substantial aperture was revealed beneath the throne. Surveying the circular opening, Chen Jie immediately recognized its purpose. It served as an egress to the Ruins.
Thus, this clandestine passage was, in fact, an integral component of the Ruins themselves.
Chen Jie instantly grasped the nature of the supposed secret passage of the Zoroastrian Sect: it was merely one of the numerous hidden exits leading from the vast expanse of the Ruins.
With this understanding, Chen Jie beckoned to the trembling Little Ming King. Observing the boy's pitiable state, Chen Jie couldn't help but reflect, "Like father, like son."
Han Shantong had been a figure of immense heroism, spearheading the Zoroastrian Sect's bold defiance against the imperial court. During the decisive clash at Wending Mountain, he had wielded his Fifth Transformation Melting God Realm power to contend with the Earthly Immortal Realm Living Buddha Basiba.
In a display of unparalleled valor, he had managed to sever one of Living Buddha Basiba's arms; a truly heroic feat.
Though he ultimately fell at Wending Mountain, who could deny him the title of Ming King upon witnessing such might?
He remained the revered spiritual icon for the rebel forces.
Conversely, the Little Ming King, characterized by his timidity and fear of peril, lacked any semblance of heroic spirit. Were he to assume leadership of such valiant souls, it would constitute a profound tragedy for the world's heroes.
Yet, as the sole scion of the Bright King, his very lineage bestowed upon him a renown and standing that individuals like Chen Jie and Zhu Chongba had to risk life and limb to attain.
Contemplating this disparity, Chen Jie felt a fleeting pang of envy directed at the Little Ming King.
He then addressed the Little Ming King, "Little Ming King, this location is no longer secure. Proceed swiftly into the secret passage."
The Little Ming King gazed at the dark, ominous maw of the secret passage, a flicker of apprehension in his eyes. "Will you not accompany me?"
Chen Jie replied, "You must go ahead; I have other pressing matters to attend to."
The Little Ming King hesitated, but the enraged pounding of the Demon Slayer Monk on the door outside, accompanied by his furious shouts of "Get out, get out!", intensified.
The Little Ming King shuddered at the torrent of the Demon Slayer Monk's rage and the relentless clamor against the door.
Chen Jie turned his gaze toward the entrance, then glanced at the Little Ming King. "Little Ming King, no need to delay, get in here swiftly," he urged.
Snapped from his daze, the Little Ming King scrambled into the hidden passage. He then poked his head back out, calling, "Chen Shaohua, hurry up and join me! It's quite dark inside."
Though speechlessness nearly overcame him, Chen Jie had crucial matters to attend to. Employing a Qinggong technique, he propelled himself to a massive pillar. Utilizing the Gecko Wall-Crawling Skill, he scaled its surface.
His hand brushed against the gaping maw of a Golden Dragon ornament, and he felt a hollowness within. Activating the Qiankun Great Method, he channeled its essence into the dragon's mouth. With a subtle shift, the dragon opened, revealing an Elixir Pill nestled inside!
Upon glimpsing the Elixir Pill, Chen Jie's heart swelled with delight. He swiftly secured it, the coveted Melt God Pill now within his grasp.
With the Melt God Pill secured, Chen Jie rapidly descended the golden pillar, making his way back to his original position.
His attention then shifted to the doors of the Ming King Hall, which were audibly groaning under immense pressure. Beyond them, the Demon Slayer Monk was relentlessly pounding with sheer, unadulterated force.
