Monarch Of Time

Chapter 901

Liu Mei was momentarily taken aback after hearing Little Blackʼs voice in her head, before a look of puzzlement, as well as relief, quickly covered her face.

Naturally, she was relieved knowing that Shun Long was alright and that nothing bad had really happened to him. After all, she and Little Black had been the only ones present while they were still in the ʼCity of Sinʼ, back in the ʼNight star continentʼ, when Shun Long had suddenly disappeared from their alchemy shop, causing a huge disturbance throughout the city.

It was only after he returned, that Shun Long had let both Liu Mei and Little Black know, that he had been transported to an extremely mysterious place akin to a prison.

However, Liu Mei was unable to hide her puzzlement when she heard the latter half of Little Blackʼs sentence. No matter how she looked at it, her current cultivation base was undoubtedly the highest out of everyone else present.

She had already stepped into the early rank 9 of the Dao King realm during this past year, and she was actually only a step away from becoming a middle rank 9 Dao King as well. In fact, if it werenʼt for the sole reason that she hadnʼt absorbed enough qi after killing most of Yao Guantingʼs group of 100 Dao Kings, she would have already stepped into the peak of the Dao King realm long ago, becoming a peak rank 9 Dao King!

However, it was almost as if Little Black could guess what Liu Mei was thinking right now, as the black dragon stared at the peerlessly beautiful young woman with a look of clear mockery in his bright azure eyes, before he continued

ʼʼLittle girl, do you really think that you have done a good job after merely becoming a measly early rank 9 Dao King? Do you really think that you are the strongest one present amongst you all right now? How foolish. Even if we exclude master from this discussion, there is still that little brat with the bloodline of the ʼDemonic Crow of Darknessʼ who is stronger than you!ʼʼ

Little Blackʼs words were cold and unrelenting as they mercilessly struck Liu Meiʼs heart like a gigantic hammer, causing it to shake intensely.

Indeed, although Liu Mei was already an early rank 9 Dao King, she couldnʼt say with complete certainty that she could actually suppress the current Jiang Chen, if the two of them really fought each other.

Of course, if it was just a normal spar, there was no way that Jiang Chen would be able to take more than a couple of hits from Liu Meiʼs skeletons with his current middle rank 7 Dao King realm cultivation before losing.

However, if he decided to go all-out and burn his blood essence to activate his bloodline of the ʼDemonic Crow of Darknessʼ... then that would be a completely different story! Even Liu Mei wouldnʼt be able to say with confidence that she could definitely suppress him in that state.

Additionally, although Jiang Chenʼs, Bai Longtianʼs, and Xingyiʼs cultivation bases were increasing at a noticeably slower pace compared to hers, Liu Mei could still feel, that Bai Longtianʼs and the othersʼ auras all seemed to possess a certain distinct quality, that her own aura seemed to be lacking.

If Liu Meiʼs aura was like a powerful stream that was about to become a river, then Jiang Chenʼs, Bai Longtianʼs, and Xingyiʼs auras were akin to much smaller streams but with the potential to turn into oceans instead!

This was a feeling that was extremely difficult to put into words, but Liu Mei could tell that as time continued to pass, Jiang Chen and the othersʼ auras would only continue to grow even stronger and more refined, while her own aura remained the same.

Clearly, this was the result of Bai Longtian, Xingyi, and Jiang Chen, constantly absorbing the pure immortal qi from the ʼHeaven Swallowing vineʼ within the ʼFive-elements protective formationʼ for the past 2 years.

Inside the foggy space in the ʼStone of Timeʼ, Little Black couldnʼt help but snort when he saw Liu Meiʼs complicated expression as she stared at Xingyi and the others just a few meters away from her, before the black dragon continued coldly

ʼʼLittle girl, what are you sulking there for? If you already understand whatʼs going on, then all you have to do is simply catch up to those brats! Donʼt tell me youʼve already forgotten what a huge advantage you possess compared to them!?ʼʼ

It was only after hearing this sentence that Liu Meiʼs stunning black eyes abruptly lit up again, only for a look of surprise and bewilderment to quickly cover her face soon afterwards.

Although it was true that the ʼBlood Absorption artʼ that Little Black had given to her was extremely powerful, and allowed Liu Mei to cultivate extremely quickly simply by absorbing and refining the qi from the enemies she killed, it was also her own limiting factor this time.

After all, Liu Mei could tell that Bai Longtian and the others were now growing increasingly stronger by the day, after refining the immortal qi that they absorbed from the ʼHeaven Swallowing vineʼ.

However, the Dao Kings from Yao Guantingʼs group that she had killed previously didnʼt even possess a speck of immortal qi inside them, so naturally, Liu Mei hadnʼt absorbed any of it either. Since her ʼBlood Absorption artʼ focused on absorbing the qi from the enemies she killed instead of cultivating normally like the others, Liu Mei could tell that as time continued to pass, she would only continue to get left even further behind, and would never be able to catch up to Xingyi and the others in terms of the immortal qi that they possessed.

After letting out an exasperated sigh, the look in Little Blackʼs azure eyes suddenly turned incomparably profound and deep, as if a galaxy of countless stars and constellations were being contained within the black dragonʼs gaze, before his voice rang out in Liu Meiʼs head once more

ʼʼLittle lass, who said that you canʼt absorb the immortal qi around you using the ʼBlood Absorption artʼ? Who told you that you canʼt cultivate normally with it? No matter what, itʼs still a cultivation technique of the ʼImmortal Kingʼ level, a top-grade cultivation technique even in the ʼImmortal Dimensionʼ! How could it be any inferior to the average ʼImmortal-gradeʼ cultivation techniques? Although itʼs true that you are somewhat lacking in talent, at least compared to those 3 brats that follow master alongside you, as long as you cultivate diligently from now on, you can still catch up to them in less than a year!”

At that moment, at the same time that Little Blackʼs voice finished resounding in Liu Meiʼs head, the surrounding space within the ʼFive-elements protective formationʼ suddenly started to ripple, before a familiar figure abruptly appeared next to Liu Mei!
