On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

"Lord, your servant is humbled by your presence."

Inside a dimly lit room, a man that Chen Tian would have recognized if he saw the person before him,

It was none other than the hooded man who cursed the old man of the Ming family.

Lou Hua kneeled on the ground with his head bowed to the hollow figure before him.

The man's voice quivered with a mixture of reverence and awe as he continued.

"By your grace, everything is already prepared. The plans have been set in motion, and the necessary resources have been gathered. I await your command to proceed."

"So... it's already begun," a hoarse voice replied.

The voice was so malicious and filled with venom that it sent shivers down Lou Hua's spine.

He dared not look up, fearing what he might see in the eyes of his lord.

The anticipation in the air was palpable, and Lou Hua could sense the weight of impending doom hanging over them.

"When did this bunch of old hags say that the door would open?"

Lou Hua's heart sank as he heard the disdain in his lord's voice.

'The lord doesn't even put the grandmasters in his eyes. How terrifying!' Lou Hua thought to himself. He had always admired his lord's strength and ruthlessness, but now he couldn't help but feel a sense of worship.

"They said it would open in a month, my lord," he replied, his voice barely above a whisper.

The room fell into an eerie silence as the seconds ticked by, each one feeling like an eternity.

"Hehehehe! Finally, after all these years of waiting, the world will change!" his lord exclaimed with a sinister laugh.

Lou Hua's heart skipped a beat, realizing that his lord's ruthlessness was about to be unleashed upon the world.

"But my Lord, are you sure? What if we were found out?" Lou Hua stammered, his voice trembling with fear.

If the Grandmasters of this world were to discover their plans, there would be dire consequences.

His Lord wasn't in a position to protect him yet. If the Grandmasters of this world were to discover their plans, there would be dire consequences.

Lou Hua's fear grew even stronger as he considered the potential repercussions.

"Hmph!"

His lord's eyes narrowed, and a wicked smile played on his lips. "Found out? Let them if they dare."

"But..." Lou Hua wanted to object, but his voice caught in his throat as a strong aura suddenly surrounded him.

Lou Hua was unable to breathe as the pressure from his lord's aura became overwhelming.

The air grew heavy, and he felt as if he were suffocating under the weight of his lord's power.

His knees buckled further, and he fell to the ground, gasping for air.

His lord's power was immense, and it sent shivers down Lou Hua's spine.

He realized that his lord was not someone to be taken lightly, and perhaps he was right.

If anyone dared to interfere with their plans, they would have to face the wrath of this formidable force. Lou Hua's doubts slowly faded away, replaced by a newfound confidence in their ability to succeed, even if the world were to discover their plans.

"Even if they discovered our plans, it would be too late. The moment the door opens and they enter that place, we will start with our plan," The Lord said.

Suddenly, the Lord used his divine sense and put a mark on Lou Hua's body.

If Chen Tian was here, he would be shocked to find out that the mysterious Lord used divine sense just now.

Because it only meant one thing: a Core Formation Realm Cultivator!!

"Khh!!" Lou Hua winced as the mark burned onto his skin, a physical reminder of his loyalty and commitment to the Lord's cause.

"With this mark, the plan should go smoothly," the Lord continued, his voice filled with confidence.

The mark was in the shape of a skull that had two horns protruding from its forehead, a demonic symbol that sent a shiver down Lou Hua's spine.

"Remember, there is no failure in the plan." The lord spoke in a stern tone, his eyes piercing into Lou Hua's soul.

Lou Hua nodded, his heart filled with a mix of fear and determination.

He had trained relentlessly for this moment, sacrificing everything he had known for the Lord's cause. As he looked at the mark on his skin, he couldn't help but wonder what dark forces he was now bound to.

But there was no turning back now, for the success of the plan relied heavily on his Lord. He would fulfill his duty, no matter the cost.

Ending his conversation with Lou Hua, the hollow figure of the Lord disappeared before Lou Hua's eyes, leaving behind an eerie silence in the room.

Lou Hua stood there, feeling a chill run down his spine.

"No one can stop us!" he whispered to himself, his voice barely audible in the stillness.

|Rumble!!!|

Thunder cracked through the sky.

"The door is still closed," a man muttered, his words drowned out by the deafening storm outside.

He was looking at an enormous red-golden door that had ancient carvings and symbols etched into its surface, with two golden palms acting as handles.

The door seemed impenetrable, as if guarding something of great significance.

"The others said that it would take a month before the door was ready to be opened. "

Another man spoke up, his voice barely audible over the raging storm.

They were tasked with staying and exploring the area despite the treacherous weather conditions.

"If only we could enter this ruin, unfortunately..."

What was behind that door? The two of them didn't know.

"Only a Dive Martial Artist can enter, or many Grandmaster Martial Artists like us would be able to break through this damn door," one of the men said with a tinge of disappointment.

The man clenched his fists in frustration.

The storm only fueled his annoyance, as he knew that they couldn't enter.

"Tskk, let's go since we already know the place of the next Ancient ruin."

The group of two turned away from the mysterious ruin.

|Rumble!!!|

Despite the weather conditions, a loud rumble shook the ground beneath their feet.

"What a weather," the man muttered, his frustration momentarily forgotten.

"If we weren't Grandmasters, we would have never made it this far," the other person replied.

|Wooshhhh|

The wind howled through the trees, whipping their clothes and hair around.

They could feel the power of the storm intensifying, yet they remained determined.

Looking down at the view below, they could see the dark clouds and greenery blurring together in a menacing swirl.

The storm seemed to have a life of its own, threatening to consume everything in its path.

Despite the raging elements, the two Grandmasters stood firmly.

The lightning illuminated the landscape, revealing the rugged terrain and treacherous paths that lay ahead.

"Let's head down and report back to the others." One of the Grandmasters said, his voice barely audible over the howling winds.

The other nodded in agreement, their eyes never leaving the storm's fury.

With unwavering determination, they began their descent. They were at a height of 2,570 m above sea level, on the peak of the treacherous mountain.

The wind whipped their cloaks wildly, threatening to tear them from their bodies.

The icy rain stung their faces—something that was very dangerous if it was a normal person, but these Grandmasters were far from normal.

They descended the mountain like it was a walk in the park.

A great event was bound to happen that would change the earth forever, and no one knew what it was or how it would unfold.

Back at the Chen family mansion, Chen Tian was in his room.

It was already 6:00 PM; they just had dinner, and Chen Tian was reflecting on the events of the day. Aria's confession was still fresh in his mind.

He couldn't believe that Aria had finally admitted her feelings for him.

It was a moment he had waited for, but now that it had happened, he felt a mix of excitement and nervousness.

Chen Tian knew that their relationship would never be the same again.

'Leng Zhiqing didn't dare look at my face when we were eating dinner; she immediately left after dinner was over.'

Chen Tian wondered if Leng Zhiqing was keeping a distance from him because of what Emilia said to her inside his room.

Chen Tian only hoped that his relationship with her wouldn't be affected by whatever was said.

He couldn't bear the thought of losing Leng Zhiqing.

Emilia was still downstairs. She said she wanted to watch a TV series, but for Chen Tian, he was ruthlessly ordered to return to his room by Emilia and Aria.

Before he left, Aria whispered in his ear to wait for her in his room later.

Chen Tian couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness at the thought of what Aria had in mind.

He wasn't an idiot; he knew what Aria wanted to do.

He could sense the desire in her eyes whenever she looked his way.

Chen Tian's heart raced as he sat, waiting for Aria to arrive.
