Villain Cultivator (Web Novel)

Chapter 587 – Threats

Day 151

Ma Xingjuan came out of Miaomiao's dantian space after she had finished engraving her Dao Tattoo to Miaomiao's soul.

Miaomiao's real body was still the same. He sat cross-legged, meditating and cultivating as usual. However, currently, Miaomiao's aura was similar to Lu Fengxian's when he was an immortal.

After all, the War God Dao of Ma Xingjuan had evolved his soul. Every variation of Lu Fengxian's power became Miaomiao's passive ability.

He didn't need to summon his Dao Avatar to activate the War God Dao anymore. From now on, his physical body was the embodiment of the War God Dao, and he could use the War God Transformation without using Qi!

The transformation of Miaomiao also enhanced Ma Xingjuan's cultivation and strength. She also gained the same perk as the War God Dao became one with her soul.

The sudden eruption of Ma Xingjuan and Miaomiao's cultivation base alarmed Xie Lian and Xie Fan. They rushed to their room to check on them.

Then, they found Ma Xingjuan, who had dressed like an assassin.

Xie Fan frowned as she thought that Ma Xingjuan was a hired bodyguard of Miaomiao. On the other hand, Xie Lian discovered Ma Xingjuan's true gender and her cultivation method.

"Excuse me. Are you Mao Miaomiao's Soul Sentinel?" Xie Lian probed Ma Xingjuan to confirm his hypothesis.

Ma Xingjuan nodded. She changed her voice to hide her gender, "Yes."

"I see. I sense that Mao Miaomiao has recently advanced to the Soul Formation Realm. Have you imparted your Dao Tattoo to his soul?"

"…"

Ma Xingjuan frowned. This old elf knew too much, and she didn't like him.

Xie Lian coughed, "Please excuse my manner. I am a faithful follower of Lord Adam, so I know a bit about his cultivation method. The Soul Formation Method often leads to the Dao Soul Realm. After this, it will be the Transcendent Soul. From this point on, it branches between the Heavenly Meridian Gate from Heavenly Merit and the Stellar Constellation Gate."

Ma Xingjuan narrowed her eyes. Indeed, Miaomiao's cultivation method followed this path. However, she didn't know about the Heavenly Merit that Xie Lian had mentioned.

She cupped her fist and bowed to him, "Yes. I'm Mao Miaomiao's Soul Sentinel. By the way, senior. What is Heavenly Merit?"

"Heavenly Merit is granted by Heavenly Dao as a reward when a cultivator successfully contributed something major to the Heavenly Dao, such as donating their constellation planets to the universe. The Heavenly Merit comes in the form of a marble, and it can be directly consumed. Once consumed, any immortal can ascend and advance to the deity realm without a vessel! However, it ties the soul of the deity to the Heavenly Dao forever."

"Is it bad?"

"It's not really that bad. Heavenly Dao owns everything in the universe, including the Sage Realm. If the Heavenly Dao perishes, everything including the sages will perish. If you serve the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao shall protect you in return. It's a win-win I must say."

Ma Xingjuan nodded. She heard something interesting.

Inside her dantian space, a soul fragment of Lu Fengxian hummed as it reacted to the information.

The soul fragment suddenly ejected a tiny grain of marble into the void. Then, the marble slowly consumed Ma Xingjuan's Soul Qi to grow larger.

Dion also notified her about the changes.

Ding

<Lu Fengxian's soul fragment has given you a Heavenly Merit Marble.>

'Oh?'

Ma Xingjuan inwardly laughed. She wondered what her future son was trying to tell her.

'Should I use this and become Heavenly Dao's servant?'

<By absorbing the Heavenly Dao Merit, you are agreeing to become the servant of Heavenly Dao. Are you sure?>

'Hahahaha! No.'

Ma Xingjuan sighed and kept the Heavenly Merit away from her soul core. She didn't want to become someone's servant other than being Miaomiao's love slave.

She cupped her fist and thanked Xie Lian, "Senior has broadened my horizons. This junior is still lacking a lot."

"Hahaha. You're welcome. Since you work for Mao Miaomiao, you're our friends. Oh, come to think of it, when is he going to stop cultivating?"

"Do you have a business with him, senior?"

"We need to talk about the wedding arrangement. We've agreed that I will bless him with my sister, and he will marry her."

"…"

Ma Xingjuan paused. She inwardly sighed, "Are you sure? Isn't she a bit young?"

"Her age doesn't matter. Do you know that every 10-year-old daughter of deities was commonly wedded to other deities because they can't get pregnant during the first years of their married life?"

"… That's messed up."

"Exactly! Look at my sister. She has already reached puberty. She's better than those flat-chested children."

"Hold on a second. That's not the point!" Ma Xingjuan sweated profusely. Something was wrong with these people!

Xie Lian and Ma Xingjuan continued to chat. The latter soon discovered that the local tradition here was bad for women.

There was no such thing as woman's rights.

…

Day 170

Peaceful and uneventful days were the best days for Miaomiao. Spending 20 days cultivating in the real world was the same as spending 2,000 years cultivating.

Everybody imprinted their Dao tattoos on Miaomiao's soul. Even Diaochan obediently worked with everyone.

Now, Miaomiao's presence was divine. Even though he didn't do anything, nine passive Daos formed a mini domain around him.

At this stage, no mortal could harm him anymore. Even immortals might find it difficult to get through the passive defensive layers of nine Daos.

Miaomiao was proud of his progress. After he had gotten through the most troublesome parts in the Totem Nascent Soul Realm and the Soul Formation Realm, the Soul Tattoo Realm was like a walk in the park.

…

Miaomiao's energy volume shrank as Life Essence was converted into a higher form of energy, Soul Essence. Secondly, the dantian size now only accounted for the number of planets and planes.

If only Miaomiao could engrave the tattoo of his primary Dao, aka the Dao of Plot Armor Plundering, he would instantly advance to the next realm.

Unfortunately, he had been delaying worldly matters for too long. Trouble soon found him.

Today, a deacon from the 12 initiate peak came down to give Miaomiao a notification. He stood in front of the stable and emitted a strong killing intent, which locked on to Miaomiao.

"Mao Miaomiao, the initiate of the 12th peak, has been absent from the sect activities for longer than three months. As per sect rules, Mao Miaomiao shall be demoted to a candidate!"

Miaomiao opened his eyes and listened to the announcement with a deep frown. He cursed the deacon since the latter could have quietly informed him via a letter.

But the deacon hadn't finished, "However, Mao Miaomiao has proven that he is more talented than ordinary cultivators among his peers, and he has contributed a lot in the discovery of the new monster beast species. Therefore, all initiate peak elders agree to give Mao Miaomiao a chance to maintain his status as an initiate of the 12th peak!"

Eavesdroppers and former customers of Miaomiao gathered to listen to the announcement.

When they heard that Miaomiao was an initiate, many candidates were frustrated that they didn't learn about this earlier as they could have challenged Miaomiao to get his initiate status via a duel.

Still, not all candidates were stupid. They had witnessed Miaomiao's strength, and he had proven that he could instantly defeat strong immortals. Therefore, challenging Miaomiao was akin to suicide.

They looked around, waiting to see arrogant idiots killing themselves.

The deacon continued, "Tomorrow morning, Mao Miaomiao must report himself to the Cherry Boy City's public arena. Then, he must prove his talent and abilities by defeating candidates and initiates of the sect until everyone in the city acknowledges his battle prowess!"

Murmur

Several overconfident candidates cheered while smart guys sneered at the excited people.

This test couldn't be used to measure Miaomiao's true power. On the other hand, Miaomiao should be the one testing the candidates and initiates!

They questioned if the IQ of the elders were lesser than 100. Nobody knew that Miaomiao's protagonist power stupefied local villains and made them do something silly, such as this.

Miaomiao leisurely walked out of the stable. He faced the deacon, "I'm too lazy to go. What if I don't go?

The deacon scoffed, "Since we are giving you a chance to redeem yourself, you must go. If you don't go, we shall expel you from the sect."

"Oh. How cliché and pointless," Miaomiao shook his head. "Fine. Tell your bosses that I'll go. Happy now?"

"Please mind your tone. You're talking to a SENIOR."

"Senior?" Miaomiao was not amused, "I would have considered you a senior had you not fixated the killing intent on me. Why do you want me dead? I don't remember offending anybody here."

The deacon's expression turned ugly. He glared into Miaomiao's eyes, "You don't remember me at all, do you?"

"Well… Who the hell are you?"

The deacon flashed a family emblem.

Mu Family

The deacon sneered at Miaomiao, "Reflect on what you did. The person you killed was the younger brother of an elder! Please struggle the best you can since we will enjoy torturing you."

"Meh. What a cliché one-dimensional side character. How about I send a message to your boss?"

"What?"

Miaomiao seized the deacon's neck. Then, living parasites inside him entered the victim.

"Go tell your boss exactly what I say. If better, get a record orb and record my message."

"…" The deacon did as Miaomiao said, little did he know that he would get a meme as a response.

"I don't know who you are. Though, I kinda know what you want, and I don't care. If you are looking to blackmail me, I can tell you that I won't give you shit. But you know, I have a particular set of skills: skills that I acquire during my long career, skills that make me a nightmare for idiots like you. If you leave me alone, that will be the end of it. I will not look for you. I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will find you, and I will kill you!"

"…"

"Oh, let me add the original line of mine. I will fuck your grandma, your mother, your daughters, your granddaughters, your nieces, your wives, your concubines, and your sisters. I will turn them into public toilets for these virgins while you're suffering in hell."

"…"

…

Inside Miaomiao's dantian space, the girls cheered.

"I remember that line. He changed it a lot."

"Yeah, it was a good movie."

"It's a shame that we can't import that world's movies here. There were many good movies that Miaomiao didn't watch."

"Yeah, that's a shame."

Xu Chu, Kang Yan, Diaochan, Liu Guang, and other Soul Sentinels had seen Miaomiao's world through his memory, and they were addicted to the technologies of the modern world, especially the entertainment industry.

Many movies gave them insight or enlightenment.. They grasped on many new Daos, and they were busy cultivating the right element continents to support their new powers.
