Otherworldly-Cultivator-Chapter 860: +Memory Fragment VI+

Xiao Shijian stood alone in mid-air, looking at the golden dragon and the fire phoenix that continued to circle above the cultivation cave area.

"It’s been over a year since they began their breakthrough, but Chen Li hasn’t shown any progress. Although the process is slow, all of his wives are also experiencing progress in their breakthroughs. On the other hand, Feng Xian’er’s aura continues to strengthen, and she’s already halfway through her breakthrough. If my calculations are correct, she will complete her breakthrough in another year, and I will send her into my time realm once she does." Xiao Shijian looked in another direction to check on all the cultivators from the Seven Moon Realm. "Even though Bai Lanhua is the reincarnation of Sheng Luo, her body is a new one, unlike Feng Xian’er. Even so, her past experience of breaking through is very useful for helping her succeed in this life, and she will finish much faster than others. Unfortunately, she is mortal, and her body will not be able to survive in my time realm."

*Swoosh*

"How long do you think it will take my emperor to complete his breakthrough?"

Xiao Shijian shook her head at Jiu Feng. "At first, I estimated that Chen Li would need three to four years to break through to the Lower God Realm, but his breakthrough might be delayed even longer. Check his body; the qi within his body has been extremely calm since half a year ago, which shouldn’t have happened after he started his breakthrough, so I can’t predict when it will end."

"Could it be that he planned something in his breakthrough without us knowing?"

"Sigh." Xiao Shijian let out a soft sigh. "Unlike Emperor Long, Chen Li is difficult to predict, and he becomes even more unpredictable after he inherits Hermit Long’s memories. Fortunately, he doesn’t become as cruel as that old hermit, but he will become extremely cruel after he meets the Devil Long Wang and inherits his memories."

"Is the Devil Long Wang really that cruel?"

"Each Long Wang reincarnation has a different character, and the Devil Long Wang is the cruelest of them all. He does not hesitate to kill anyone—be they children or adults, men or women." Jiu Feng was shocked to hear this, as it contrasted with Emperor Long, who was known for his deep kindness towards all living beings. "That’s why I decided to kill him in the past; otherwise, the population of this universe would not be as large as it is now, as he always killed indiscriminately."

"Will you kill him if he becomes as cruel as the Devil Long Wang in the future?"

"I don’t know."

"Why do you hesitate this time?"

"If I kill Chen Li, the Ancient Long Wang will never return, and this universe will fall into the hands of the Dark Race. If that happens, countless living beings will suffer, and this universe will eventually be destroyed."

"Why can’t the Ancient Long Wang return?"

Xiao Shijian sighed. "For the Ancient Long Wang to return, the primary requirement is the Chaos Body, and the memories of all his reincarnations are complementary."

"The Chaos Body?"

"The Chaos Body originally belonged to the Ancient Long Wang, and none of his reincarnations before Chen Li ever possessed it. That’s why they were never able to become whole, and some of them died too soon. If Chen Li dies, the Chaos Body will disappear again, and I don’t know when it will appear again."

Jiu Feng nodded in understanding. "When the Chaos Body appears again, it will be too late, and this universe will already be controlled by the Dark Race by then."

"That’s right." Xiao Shijian sighed again. "Once the Chaos Body appears again, we will have no chance of turning the situation around, and this universe will be destroyed if the Dark Race controls everything."

Jiu Feng took a deep breath as he looked at the golden dragon above the sky. "I hope my emperor can defeat the Devil Long Wang and control him."

"Me too."

Chen Li, who was in the process of breaking through, opened his eyes when he couldn’t sense anything around him. Thick darkness greeted his eyes, and he sensed something terrifying lurking within. "Where am I? This place is definitely not my memory space because I’ve never seen it before."

"Pathetic!"

Chen Li frowned. "Who?"

"A disgrace!"

"Come out!"

"You disgraced all your ancestors." Chen Li froze when a man with two bloodshot eyes and two black dragon horns appeared in front of him; even his entire skin was pitch black. "Heh! You died in such a miserable manner a thousand years ago! You couldn’t even meet me while you were alive!"

Chen Li tried to remember a few things. "You must be the Devil Long Wang, right?"

"Humph!" The Devil Long Wang dashed toward Chen Li, punched him in the face, and sent him flying backward.

"Gah!" Chen Li steadied herself instantly, but the Devil Long Wang disappeared from her sight, making her heighten her vigilance.

"I’m bored! I’m bored of being locked up in this place! That spirit bitch killed me in the past and made me spend so much time in this damn place!" The Devil Long Wang appeared behind Chen Li and kicked his back, sending him staggering forward. "I’ve waited so long to leave this place, but all the Long Wangs after me are useless, including you!"

Chen Li naturally understood the meaning behind the Devil Long Wang’s words. "Aren’t you worse than us? You—Gah."

"Shut your mouth, you lowly creature!"

"Hahaha," Chen Li laughed upon hearing that. "Aren’t you the same as us? You even died faster than us in the past, and—Gah!"

"I said shut your fucking mouth, you lowly creature!" The Devil Long Wang furiously shouted, his eyes turning even redder with rage. "All this happened because of that spirit bitch! She betrayed me and killed me!"

"Haha," Chen Li laughed as he shook his head. "Wasn’t everything that happened in the past your own fault? Xiao Shijian helped you when you were weak until you became strong, but you used your power to slaughter people indiscriminately, so she was forced to kill you. If you hadn’t done that, she definitely wouldn’t have killed you, and I definitely wouldn’t exist now."

"You—"

"You what?" Chen Li interrupted. "You were indeed unlucky because you were born a devil dragon, but you didn’t try to fight your fate, and you followed your instinct for power to slaughter people indiscriminately, forcing her to kill you. All of us are reincarnations of the Ancient Long Wang—the mightiest living being after Time, but you wasted your chance, so you shouldn’t blame her."

The Devil Long Wang didn’t deny it, but he continued to glare at Chen Li with his red eyes filled with anger and hatred.

Chen Li shook his head slightly. "I may be weak now, but I’m still much better than you. When I become strong, you will be free from this place, and we will be whole again."

"Heh!" The Devil Long Wang disappeared from Chen Li’s sight. "Talk is easy; results are what matter. If you fail to become whole in the future, I will beat you every day in this place."

Soon, the darkness disappeared, and Chen Li arrived in the memory space. Unlike in the past, he wasn’t in front of a golden palace but on a hill with a dilapidated house in front of him.

"Hmm? Which Long Wang has these memories?" Chen Li immediately walked into the house, and he couldn’t help but shake his head at the messy situation there. "Hey! Is anyone here?"

Swoosh

Chen Li was stunned when another Long Wang appeared before him because he was entirely different from Emperor Long, Hermit Long, or Devil Long. ’This guy! He must be the Lazy Long Wang! He didn’t even take care of his own body when he was alive.’

"Hey! I can hear you, okay?" The Lazy Long Wang shook his head. "You must be our newest reincarnation, right?"

"Yeah." Chen Li nodded at him. "As of now, I have obtained the memories of Emperor Long and Hermit Long, and I have already met Devil Long just now."

"Tch!" The Lazy Long Wang gritted his teeth. "You ruined my mood by mentioning that lunatic!"

"Haha," Chen Li laughed and sat in front of him. "Even though he is a lunatic, he is us because he was the reincarnation before us, right? However, I didn’t expect that there was one of our reincarnations who was as lazy as you, so it’s not surprising that you died too early."

The Lazy Long Wang shook his head. "Not everyone has the ambition of Devil Long or Emperor Long; even Hermit Long preferred to live in seclusion for the rest of his life while he was still alive. As for me, I was the five-clawed golden dragon, but I did not have ambitions as lofty as theirs, and I preferred to spend my life relaxing in the past."

"So, how can I obtain your memories?"

"You can’t get my memories yet, and you have to at least break through to the High God Realm first. Since you’re in the process of breaking through to the Lower God Realm, you’ll need at least a few more decades to reach that stage. However, that’s not a big deal for you, right? You have Xiao Shijian by your side, and she’s already planning to bring you to her time realm."

Chen Li nodded at him. "After I break through to the Lower God Realm, I’ll rescue our sister in the Celestial Realm first, and then I’ll enter seclusion for a long time."

"Correction! Long Tianxi isn’t my sister, so I don’t care about her." Lazy Long Wang pointed his finger at his chest. "I only care about you, and I hope you can end everything so I can be free from this place."
