Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Chapter 1867: The Most Troublesome Negotiator

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

What kind of speed and strength that was!

The highest command center of the Defense Counsel of the Federation was caught in utter silence.

All the Cultivators, especially the new MPs who had been elected in the recent hundred years and did not experience the unification of the three Sectors that was facilitated by Li Yao a hundred years ago, were mired in the black hole of shock.

Was it really the guy with the messy hair, who seemed drowsy all day and sometimes walked down the street in slippers?

Was it the guy who was peed on by the kids when visiting a kindergarten but simply laughed as if it were nothing, without any shred of dignity as a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator?

He turned out to be so brutal and ruthless!

A lot of the new MPs did not understand the true meaning of ‘Vulture Li Yao, dominator of three Sectors’. They had thought that Li Yao was merely lucky enough to live at the edge of the great integration of the three Sectors and happened to be Ding Lingdang’s husband and Jin Xinyue’s master. He was merely famous because of his wife and disciple, and he had been deified by the exaggerated propaganda.

Even after his grand return in the space battle, a lot of people still secretly thought to themselves that it was the doing of his Colossus, Tartarean Colossus. Any Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator who was capable of piloting the Tartarean would have achieved exactly the same result on the battlefield.

But at this moment, Li Yao’s performance with two ordinary Mystic Skeleton Battlesuits and a shocking kick without wearing any crystal suit shattered everybody’s doubts!

BAM!

The kick in the picture seemed to have hit the defense shield and the super alloy gate of the highest command center directly. The air in the entire command center shook violently, with ripples that were almost concrete spreading out. Every MP felt that their eardrums were humming hard.

It was not until a long time later that somebody finally struggled to breathe and smile bitterly. “Thankfully, he is on our side. Otherwise—”

It was probably what all the MPs of the federation had in their mind.

Since the MPs of the federation on Li Yao’s own side were shocked to such an extent, it was not hard to imagine the scene on Black Ray’s bridge, which had already been swallowed by silence as if it were a grave. It was not until a long time later that the noises of clattering teeth finally broke the silence.

Faced with Vulture Li Yao, an ultimate expert of the barbarians at the edge of the cosmos, the Immortal Cultivators had already been mentally prepared for their failure.

But none of them had expected that ‘Fiery Eye’ Wan Xiu, ‘Heavy Cannon’ Lei Long, and ‘Death Shadow’ Murong Wei would suffer such a crushing defeat that they were unable to fight back at all when they had joined hands.

“Twenty-two seconds. Wan Xiu, Lei Long and Murong Wei combined only survived twenty-two seconds against his attack!”

“That includes the six seconds when he walked over to Murong Wei unhurriedly. In fact, it only took him fifteen seconds to finish three formidable opponents ranging from the high level of the Nascent Soul Stage to the peak!”

“What—What kind of person is he exactly? What magical equipment did he use?”

“Vulture Li Yao? Vulture Li Yao!”

All the Immortal Cultivators were shocked and upset. Their faces were all hollow, as if Li Yao’s kick had hit them right on their nose. Even the most calm and condescending experts looked like roosters whose feathers had been plucked, with fright and confusion beaming out of their faces.

Di Feiwen, the No. 2 person of the Black Wind Fleet from the Black Wind Sector, was the only guy who was in the mood to chuckle, as if he had foreseen that Li Yao would offer such a devastating performance.

“How about it, captains, chiefs, managers and leaders?” he slowly said. “Do you all believe what I said earlier? I told you that we are absolutely no match for Vulture Li Yao, exactly like we were absolutely no match for Heiye Ming a hundred years ago.”

He moved himself to his feet from the commander’s chair slowly and warmed up his wrists and ankles. Without looking at the experts around, he focused his eyes on Li Yao in the picture thoughtfully while he said, “Now, it is time that you fulfill your part of our deal. Bring out all your items. It is my turn to go up.”

In the picture, after taking down three Immortal Cultivators in a row, Li Yao did not have any excitement or delight on his face, as if he had just finished a daily routine or accidentally stomped on three cockroaches.

His eyebrows were furrowed, his face was indifferent, and his eyes were hollow, as if he were meditating on the most enigmatic mysteries of the universe, making it impossible for anyone to get a glimpse at what was on his mind.

In a negotiation, such an opponent would be the greatest opponent.

Those who are famous must have reasons to be famous. The most powerful dominator at the edge of the cosmos is indeed not easy to deal with!

Before the negotiation officially started, the mysterious and unpredictable expression on Li Yao’s face was already enough to make Di Feiwen, who was also an expert of negotiations, sigh.

He began to wonder if he would be blown into smithereens by Li Yao, exactly like the previous three Immortal Cultivators, the moment they met.

After all, after a quick glance, he could even generally tell what was on Heiye Ming’s mind.

But he had absolutely no idea what Li Yao was thinking, not even the faintest clue.

Such tranquility, such smartness, and such sophistication. Dreadful. This is truly dreadful!

Di Feiwen sighed while shaking his head. Putting on his crystal suit, he flew to the space station.

…

Inside the broken space station, all kinds of automatic maintenance magical equipment spurted out foam and temporarily blocked the holes and cracks, allowing the air pressure and temperature to go back to normal.

Li Yao was still expressionless, contemplating wholeheartedly with his head lowered.

Neltharion had entered the stealth state and returned to his Cosmos Ring. The mental devil dashed back to the depths of his brain, too.

The two parties were the two sides of the same soul after all and could not be completely separated. After lingering outside for a while, it had to return to the brain for nurture and training.

“More haste, less speed,” Li Yao said. “We were in so much a hurry to absorb the enormous energy that we are unable to manipulate it perfectly. Look. At the last moment, I failed to control my strength, and tremendous spiritual energy flowed out of my pores. Together with the high-speed collisions with the enemy’s crystal suit, my pants were ripped apart.”

“Such accidents are unavoidable in a fierce battle,” the mental devil said. “What’s the problem?”

“It is not a big deal if the pants were only ripped apart. But look. My thighs are utterly clean and smooth. Even the leg hair has been accidentally burnt up. Do you not feel that it is very humiliating? It’s almost like I’m a pervert who has intentionally shaved off all my leg hair.”

“Well…”

“Speaking of which, I’m suddenly very curious about one thing. How do other Cultivators address the problem when they encounter it? After all, it is impossible for them to control their spiritual energy accurately in a fierce battle all the time. Some of the spiritual energy will flow out sooner or later and may cause high-speed friction with the air. They will be bombarded by the enemy’s magnificent magical equipment, too. So, won’t their clothes be ripped apart and their hair be burnt up every now and then?

“If two graceful, dominating experts somehow both become naked in a fierce fight and entangle each other, won’t it be very embarrassing?

“It is already embarrassing enough if two male experts are having a fierce fight. What if dozens of experts that involve both males and females are having a gang fight? If somebody performs such a destructive skill that other people’s clothes are all blown up, what should they do next? Do they continue fighting or not?”

“Hey, hey, hey,” the mental devil interrupted. “I don’t think that this is the time to reflect on such issues!”

“Perhaps the armor and suits were invented at the very beginning exactly to avoid the awkward situations where the participants of a battle got naked in the middle of a fierce fight…”

“Really, brother.” The mental devil sighed. “You’ve absorbed too many irrelevant thoughts in the past six months. Why don’t we take a rest for a while before starting the next training phase?”

“…Let’s talk about it later. Somebody’s here!”

Shua!

A new Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit flowed around his body like black mercury and covered him tightly in a moment. Li Yao stared at the No. 9 airtight gate. What entered the space station were a large team of medical soldiers and Di Feiwen, the de facto leader of the defeated soldiers of the Black Wind Fleet, who had the emblem of a general of the Imperium of True Human Beings carved on the breastplate of his crystal suit.

Unlike Li Yao, who was fully armed and highly wary, the moment he made sure that the air pressure and the temperature were steady after he entered the space station, Di Feiwen took off his crystal suit.

Perhaps the Immortal Cultivator who was best at administration and studies was very clear that, whether or not his Cultivation was higher than Li Yao’s, his combat ability was definitely incomparable to Li Yao’s. It would not matter at all if he wore a crystal suit or any number of crystal suits.

Holding a vintage bronze box that was carved with the emblems of the Imperium and the Black Wind Fleet, Di Feiwen walked up to Li Yao unhurriedly. He bowed deeply at Li Yao and introduced himself in a warm and comforting voice. “Greetings, President Li. I am Di Feiwen. Nice to meet you.”

If someone’s identity and character could be decided by their voice, Di Feiwen would not be a ferocious intruder at all. He did not even have the dominating air of the vice commander of the expedition army. He looked more like a clever but dutiful merchant who appreciated peace and prosperity.

Of course, the countless enemies who had been killed by him miserably, according to the intelligence that Li Yao had collected, would certainly beg to differ.

After receiving Li Yao’s permission, Di Feiwen opened the bronze box in the most gentle and slow movement before he picked out an enormous emblem of the Black Wind Fleet, a mottled flag, a statue or specimen of a red spider, a pearl that contained bouncing purple fire, a black and seemingly plain stone, and a bracelet made of wolf fangs from the box one after another.

“The Black Wind Sector, the Purple Fire Sector, the Fiery Spider Sector, the Hard Rock Sector, the Wild Wolf Sector—the tokens that represent the highest power of the five Sectors that have come to attack the Star Glory Federation are all here. During the most prosperous days of the five Sectors, the loss of any one of these tokens would’ve raised a storm of blood. The sacrifice of countless lives would need to be made first before they could be found again.”

Di Feiwen waved the five Sectors’ symbols of power in front of Li Yao and spoke unhurriedly.
