92.59% Insanity Of A Reverend Reader / Chapter 49: Wrong path?

Chương 49: Wrong path?

My patience isn't much of a problem. I can just sit here and wait it all out. It is pretty fun cultivating. Imagine how fun it is to constantly move an almost infinite supply of blood-red water and keep slamming it into my aperture's wall, breaking it and then repairing the damages using better primeval essence.

It gets repetitive, but I just try out different methods of smashing my water against the wall and that alleviates my boredom and it isn't like I am dumb enough to miss out on such prime cultivation opportunity.

"Everyone listen to us! A herd of tug tusks is migrating on main road. We should take a detour and go to the side to avoid these creatures." What an interesting problem. I don't remember much about the cannon story anymore, not like it is relevant at all. These boars shouldn't have happened in the original story, but is being delayed is the best outcome for me. The longer Fang Yuan has to bugger off, the better for us.

I can sense his direction and he has stopped moving for a while. I am guessing he arrived at that weak village, where the rank 1 Gu master lives. The total delay I accumulated should be about 7-9 days, so I should have more than enough time to... Wait, why am I avoiding Fang Yuan? He is at his weakest. Bai Ning Bing is not even a threat. I have more than enough Gu points to deal with the both of them.

Why should I avoid them? Why can't I just walk up to them, destroy Bai Ning Bing's talent using Fate Flipped Upside Down Gu and turn him into a mortal grade trash? He will have rank 3 primeval essence, but 1-10% rank 3 primeval essence is barely worth 100% light red primeval essence. I have 8 times that amount in total! What can she do at that point?

What about Fang Yuan? He is not even rank 2! Much less capable of fighting me! I have multiple killer moves! I have power! I am the stronger party! Why should I avoid Fang Yuan? I can just extract his soul, search it and then kill him off! What use is he to me? Didn't I place a tracker on him specifically to do this? Kill him while he is at his weakest?

What the fuck have I been even doing up to this point? Being kind? Trying to make people like me? Did leaving the comfortable space of my mountain make me brain-dead?! Did it destroy my ambitions? My wish for strength? This is completely unlike me! I might not be evil, helping out people with no cost to myself is normal and I am more than willing, but Fang Yuan isn't like normal people.

He is evil! He has no bottom line, no morals, a complete plague! Why am I giving him time to grow? He is weakened, a complete nobody! Why shouldn't I just kill him!

I open my eyes and stand from the human carriage part of our caravan and jump out. My brother is right next to my carriage and doesn't seem startled as he thinks he understood my intentions. He smirked and said "Want to relive the old da-"

The moment he noticed the look on my face, he knew I wasn't in the mood for fun and waited for me to say my load. This perfect mutual understanding is the reason we are brothers in all but blood. "I don't know what is going on, but we need to kill Fang Yuan! He is directly in our way and these swine aren't letting us through!" As I got my point across, there was no more point in whispering and hiding our intentions.

I rose my head and practically screamed "My orders? Slaughter them completely and keep going! Wang Da! You stay and guard the rest, make sure Ni Eli stays in line! Let's get going!"

The mortals around us stared at me and Chun Jack as we left. I noticed Zhang Zhu coming towards us. He was probably sent by Shang Xin Ci and is trying to sway us.

He quickly approached and, after we exchanged greetings, said "My miss appreciates your effort in trying to protect us, but it isn't necessary. We can just go around them and no one needs to risky injury or anything. This endeavour is completely unnecessary."

I shook my head and looked towards the beautiful girl looking at me from the carriage "I am not doing this to show off or get injured. These beasts are a threat to not just us, but to others as well. If I don't eliminate them, despite possessing the power to, I would be ashamed for the rest of my life! Chun Jack, we are leaving!"

The mortals stared at us in amazement and probably couldn't believe I was a Gu master. If I am being honest, Gu masters like me are probably pretty uncommon. I like to play the role of a knight as a Gu master. Chun Jack having an anti-Gu sword is just the icing on the cake.

Even if you think my actions are reckless, just remember how the leader of these beasts is a thousand beast king, with about 750+ boars under him. I can regenerate enough primeval essence to kill them multiple time a second. Lights Of Disintegration is mostly s burst attack, but it can also be a sustained range attack. I only need to change the order I activate the Gu worms in to achieve that. I am REALLY good at inventing killer moves!

"The plan this time is a bit different than usual. I need to blow off some steam. This big bad boar is exactly what the doctor prescribed! You finish off the little buggers and I will destroy this fat pig!"

I hope the big guy at least has some good Gu worms on him, or I will be furious! I need to kill something!

I don't care about these tiny little piglets. The best way to go about it is to just jump over them using my newly bought rank 3 spring weed Gu.

Within second a spiral of grass appears below my feet and Chun Jack rushes on, as a purple aura begins to surround him and he unsheathes Guts.

Spring Weed is probably my favourite movement Gu, as it has an... Unique trait. The stronger you press down on it and the longer you keep it compressed, the stronger the pushback force. Higher rank only increase the durability of the created spring, so technically rank 1 and 10 versions of it will look the same and do the same thing. The only difference is the increased limit, which can be tapped into by using physical strength, something I have quite a bit of.

Compressed one! Compressed four! Compressed twelve! Compressed 15!

"bang!"

The ground underneath my feet exploded, as I was launched as fast as a bullet and instantly jumped towards the huge herd of these pigs. I could see Chun Jack below me, as I crash landed a bit in front of him and smirked.

Spring Weed Gu's manifestation lasts until I land, after which it takes away all the kinetic energy from falling and breaks. Now this is the kind of fun I want! Once more! Compressed 14! And there it is!

"Come to me little piggy!" Snake Rope Gu.

Rank 3 Gu worms are kind of a stable of my combat style. Spring Weed costs about 5% light silver primeval essence, so about 50% light red primeval essence per use, while Snake Rope Gu costs 100% light red, so after 2 uses, I have exhausted 1/4th of my total reserves.

That much wasted on pure transportation and I couldn't care less! Regenerating that much is as simple as waiting 3 minutes! Not like I will let the fight last that long, with all of my strength!

As I am airborne I spin it around and throw my snake rope. It can expand to l 60 meters and bites into the thing it hits, kind of like a grappling hook. I am around 37 meters away from the pig, so I am more than close enough. Within seconds, the giant snake bites into the huge and ugly boar's back spine and I pull myself towards it.

"Sqweeach!"

Your screams don't matter, little piggy! You will die today! Well, well, well. Guess it can put up a fight!

The tusks of the tug tusk boar turned into metal and It roared with huge ferocity this time, not out of pain, but due to a Gu. Vocal use, metal tusks used as amplifiers, effect is of rank 1-2.

What strength path Gu does it possess though? I can easily ignore the voice of this beast, as low rank sound path isn't anything praiseworthy. It is a disturbance at worst and an assistant at best, kinda like how I use vibration Gu.

Who cares, Lights Of Disintegration: 10 flashes!

10 huge 30cm long wounds appeared all over the boar's back, as I got closer and used Snake Rope gu to dodge change directions and land near it. Spring Weed won't have much use here, so I can only rely on my snake rope.

The boar quickly realised where I am positioned and turned toward me. As soon as it noticed the green rope held in my hand and got used to the pain, it got enraged and began charg- oh shit!

It is charged so fast I could barely react! I dodged by a hair's leng by jumping right, but the snake rope Gu didn't allow it to charge past me. Its strength path rank 3 Gu is most likely a movement one, with fast directional movement, so mobility id its enemy. I wonder what it can do if I am on its back?

I quickly wrap my snake rope around my arm and tie it there, after which I tell the snake to shorten and the long body compresses. My body gets closer and closer to the boar's back, as it keeps charging and flies me like a kite.

I grab onto the pigs back and finally notice where it is charging, as I see Chun Jack's purple aura approaching fast. Oh shit, this is going ro be epic!

The distance between the two quickly shortens and Chun Jack jumps toward the boar, while the boar lowered its head and pointed its tusks towards my brother. Within seconds the giant sword and the beast's left tusks collided.

Sigh, I should have warned him. Even with Chun Jack's natural strength and the rank 3 aura, this is a rank 3 strength path beast, taking it head on is suicidal. The rank 1 metal path Gu is probably dead by now, but Chun Jack is probably shaken to the bones, so he won't be able to dight anymore.

The boar was pushed back a bit, but I could see the purple aura in the shape of an orc dim to a small bit of purple skin layered above Chun Jack's actual skin, as he wobbled and barely stood up.

That was a fantastic save NGL. He stopped a charging strength path thousand beast king using nothing but his own strength and lived! I am kinda jealous, but Let's ignore that. Time to end this swine!

Lights Of Disintegration: 30 flashes!

Before the pig could shake off its dizziness, my moonblades cut through its neck at lighting speed and it dies on the spot. It's body squirmed a bit, as animals don't really "die" when they are killed.

I detached my snake rope Gu's tail from my arm and threw it Chun Jack, who nodded his head and wrapped it around himself, right on time for my 15th compression, as I let the head of the head of the snake bite into my thigh and jump away with Chun Jack.

Guts is in no danger and will only be a hindrance for a while, so Chun Jack left it near the boar's head, as I jumped back and let it rampage a while.

Ten minutes later and I am back to 200% scarlet red primeval essence. I will have to refine that into crimson later, but being full on primeval essence is more important right now, than reaching my storage limit.

The caravan caught up to us, as they saw the minimally injured Chun Jack, who was just suffering a small physical trauma and me. The only indicator of the fight ever happening being the two holes in my pants and the giant boar corpse near us. "clean this place up, forget the corpse and let's get moving! No complaining, the little ones won't dare to even approach us, much less block our path!"

With this distraction taken care of, I have only 1 thing to say "Fang Yuan, you're next!"

What is up with Kai Nem? Why is he acting so indecisive when he plans around Fang Yuan and why is he being so bipolar? What exactly is happening?

Funny story: Some guy named, and I quote, "StarrySkyEvilGod" read 1 chapter of my story, read MC talking about his ambitions, saw he had a "system" and wrote a 1 star review, where he literally tried to guess my entire plot and got everything wrong, so I deleted his ass. I wish I had screenshots.

P.S. Give me dem stones! Also a review, a legit one

Chương 50: Plot armour engaged?

If the journey didn't take multiple days, I would probably just rush forward and eliminate Fang Yuan, but this is taking too long! I don't know why I grew such a hot head, but I have calmed down and rethought my decision.

Actually, is there even a point in killing him? He has nothing. I can just help Bai Ning Bing and keep him around as my pet. People like him aren't good for friendship, so the best he is getting is being my pet.

After that Fang Yuan will just be powerless. Maybe I can even threaten Spring Autumn Cicada out of him. He will most definitely have to use it at least once more through his journey, so if I take it away, he will most definitely die on his own. This would be quite profitable and I will gain another Half Dao, whatever that it.

This is a more solid plan and I even have a poison vow Gu to back myself up. For now I have to wait and see how it all plays out.

...

Man do I love my cultivation speed! My first aperture had upgraded after only 4 days and now I have crimson red primeval as the base and dark red with my liquor worm. I am at 1200% light red primeval essence storage, so now I am as strong as a rank 3 middle stage cultivator. I out-Gu and out-cultivation the both of them, so it is completely impossible for both Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing to defeat me! Let's see how you keep any benefits after this Fang Yuan!

Wait a fucking minute! Why is this little bastard suddenly going so far?

I have been observing Fang Yuan for the last couple of days and he has gone quite a bit away from the village, more than he ever has. What is going on? My delay shouldn't have been this long. We even solved 3 beast hordes, which would have cost us like 2 days of travel.

Fang Yuan should be there, waiting for us and waiting for his death! Everything is stacked against him, including luck and information. I am the dominant side here in every way. Hell his death luck is gigantic! with my intent on killing him, it should have even gone up! There is no way he just got lucky and randomly left.

This worlds fate is quite annoying. So, I guess directly messing with causality isn't a good idea. I should have killed Fang Yuan in the village, but him being the MC of the original story probably gave him some plot armour in the form of fate Gu, which will make him the next Venerable.

You can escape for now Fang Yuan, but I will find you at Shang Clan city! You will be coming for that legendary Gu, as that is your plot's turning point! You will be there and so will I!

For now I will just cultivate and maybe help out a little with the shopping. It is quite a sight, seeing a bunch of mortals dragging along hundreds of boars and wolves to sell as food or Gu materials. I could probably refine some interesting Gu worms using those bodies, but I won't be making any profit off of that. I would rather just cultivate and become rank 3 sooner, so I can enter the rank 3 world, which I will most definitely dominate.

Even if I barely become rank 3 with my apertures, using all of my advantages, I will be a bit stronger, than the common C grade talents at the peak of rank 3, so even fighting above my rank Is not Impossible and all the rank 3 Gu worms in my aperture aren't misplaced.

Too bad feeding them all is a hassle. Some of my Gu worms require minimal feeding, like spring weed and snake rope, which just need to eat plant matter and most are technically self-sufficient. Thought I have a couple hungry Gu worms I can easily fix them.

I thought up a new way of parallel refinement, which I call re-refining. If you can't find a Gu worm's food and it is dying of starvation, you can use the lower rank versions of it to re-refine the Gu, effectively turning it into a new version of itself. This fully recovers it and is way cheeper, than just buying a new one.

This can theoretically substitute food for a while, but I wouldn't recommend it. The success rate is ten or so times more than refining it anew, but that isn't that good. 1% times ten is only 10%. Risking a Gu worm like that is impractical. The only reason I use it is because of my Baby Dao Alchemist's almost guaranteed success rate.

"We have arrived at our first destination!" There we go! Time to check for Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing. If I remember correctly, they stayed with an old woman. "Brother Jack and Da, I am going to ask the local populace if they have seen those sinners!"

My voice was low enough to where some random gossipers can hear it, but not in a way, which makes it seem intentional. They will attribute it to inexperience and think I am actually looking for a sinner and am from the righteous path, which is technically true, but we don't have the best look to be fair. A gigantic titan of a mortal, two zombies and me. This seems more like a band of bandits or mercenaries.

Althoug we might technically be from the righteous path, I will go lone cultivator as soon as I reach rank 4 and just go fuck off and go exploring. I want to explorr the lands and learn more about the different types of luck there is in the world.

First destination being maybe central continent. It sounds like a rad place. They have a sect system, so I will be welcome literally everywhere! I ain't even 20 man and I am already reaching rank 3. Also reaching rank 4 will be even easier, because my aperture gains the 'self-nourishing' ability, so my cultivation speed will be at least double what a 99% guy will have, meaning I am the cream of the crop for the big sects. I might get into the best one of them and become the next sect leader.

For now I need to figure shit out. The plot armour kicked in a bit too fast IMO. I can easily be convinced to let Fang Yuan off, if he offers the Spring Autumn Cicada to me. It is worth a lot of points, 750k buying, so 250 selling. The Gu I need costs 468k, so I will be around 40k Gu points away from affording my dream Gu worm.

If such a proposition was made to me, I would most definitely spare Fang Yuan, so why would his plot armour kick in to protect the Cicada? My plan was to take it, then let Fang Yuan die off naturally, so why would plot armour protect the Cicada over him?

This is weird, but it is completely inconsequential enough to be ignored. This just means I have to kill Fang Yuan and then get the Cicada. Plot be damned! I will become the main protagonist by using this Cicada. The question is, what happens next? Anything during and after Shang clan is a blur to me.

My goal was always to soul search Fang Yuan and get information that way, but it is no longer possible. I can hunt him down, but that will inconvenience my family a bit too much, so I will let him off and wait till the huge weakness called my family is settled down before I filly commit to hunting down Fang Yuan. His future knowledge is too important, so letting him go just like that is not a good idea.

I don't care about anything else! Only 1 thing matters, I need to cultivate and hunt down Fang Yuan and for that, I need to reach Shang Clan City. Untill then, my journey shall never be complete! My Gu are fed, most of my preparations are over, so it is time to permanently go into seclusion!

nnn

I have done nothing but play Ideology for three days!

Besides that, I also had to decide on if MC will meet Fang Yuan and then chose no, as the only way to control FY for HW is SAC and you get the gist. Afterwards I needed to find a way to let Fang Yuan survive without it being completely plot armour based, so Kai Nem decided he knew FY's destination and didn't have to chase them.

I am off my new game high, so expect a new chapter tomorrow.
