Chapter 20 Familiar Face

Man Tian calmly collected all his formations into a phantom aperture and slowly left.

On the way Man Tian had met with the supreme inheritance of luck path but he avoided it making it the last on his list.

On the way Man Tian had already collected a food path inheritance, a Yin yang path path inheritance and even a strength path inheritance.

Man Tian was surprised by the yin yang path inheritance that he wanted to hit his face infact if he were giant sun immortal venerable he hit face with tofu until he died.

Man Tian was in no way looking down on giant sun immortal venerable considering he is a supreme grandmaster in luck and maybe in blood path but all that his yin yang path inheritance contained was gu for dual cultivation or gu to help give birth.

the following are some of the gu contained in the inheritance: abortion Gu, safe pregnancy Gu, multiple pregnancy Gu, become pregnant Gu, reincarnation Gu, dead fetus Gu, and others.

Multiple pregnancy Gu was one of the most idiotic gu one could spend their time creating.

Rank one could be used to produce one child, rank two produced twins. Rank three produced triplets, rank four produced quadruplets, and rank five produced quintuplets.

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable said he had grand ambitions in creating this path, he wanted to use yin-yang to describe all beings in the world.

This was the same as Feng Jiu Ge's desire to use sound path to express all life in this world.

But as Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's strength and knowledge increased, he recognized that his former ideology of yin-yang was very shallow, he eventually gave up on creating it.

Although there were some research results in yin-yang path, it could not achieve a qualitative change to become a brand new path. At most, it could be used with other paths to occasionally create some unorthodox small gains.

Yin-yang life extension method was one of such results.

Although later on other gu immortals worked hard on it for a long until it achieved a qualitative change and became a new path.

But nonetheless Yin yang path was still at the bottom of almost all the paths this includes pill path, weapon path, heaven path and even dream path.

Although Man Tian believed this path was weak one could not deny its potential. It was an all inclusive path that could bridge all paths.

Although every path was special and could be used to understand others after all the great is in all daos it is just some daos have an easier time understanding it and bridging to other paths.

...

three months later.

Man Tian did not think he could stay in the inheritance ground any longer. He had gone through every inheritance in the inheritance ground except the luck path inheritance.

Man Tian knew that if he dared to touch the immortal gu in this inheritance he would go beyond giant sun immortal venerable's wills bottom line after all he had already prepared plans for this inheritance and even left his will inside.

Man Tian was quite confident in his disguise and he knew there was less than one percent chance for giant sun's will to find out.

Although his disguise was not the legendary familiar face and vaguely familiar face but it was not bad.

The achievement of the immortal killer move "Familiar Face," where "Familiar Face" killer move is not offensive type but it indirectly took the lives of two Rank 8 Gu Immortals.

In history, Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable had once relied on a killer move called "Familiar Face" to transform into all sorts of appearances. Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable had once scammed Rank 8 Deng Zuo Yan, while Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable himself had Rank 6 cultivation, causing Deng Zuo Yan to think that Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable was his best friend named Wan Che Zhen. In the end, Deng Zuo Yan allowed the Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable into his house, and Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable used the opportunity to steal a lot of treasures in Deng Zuo Yan's Blessed Land.

After that incident, Deng Zuo Yan was angered to the point of spitting out blood. Deng Zuo Yan found Wan Che Zhen and engaged in a fierce battle, an extremely heated match. Wan Che Zhen was very puzzled. Wan Che Zhen tried to explain himself but it was not working.

In the end, Wan Che Zhen took a risk and stopped defending him, letting Deng Zuo Yan deal three blows to him. After three blows, Wan Che Zhen was on the verge of death, allowing Wan Che Zhen to finally managed to convince Deng Zuo Yan of their friendship.

Deng Zuo Yan felt deep regret. Deng Zuo Yan tried to heal Wan Che Zhen regardless of the consequences. After Deng Zuo Yan found out the truth, Deng Zuo Yan saw Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable as his most hated enemy and one that he must kill. Wan Che Zhen's deep injuries could not heal, and seeing that Deng Zuo Yan was about to face a tribulation, Deng Zuo Yan did not want to be a burden to his friend and left secretly.

But to think that Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable had perfect timing, Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable disguised as Wan Che Zhen and lied to Deng Zuo Yan, lying in bed and pretending to be ill, extorting countless cultivation resources from him.

After that, Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable escaped scot-free. Deng Zuo Yan lost a huge amount of his foundation, Deng Zuo Yan died during his heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity not long after. Wan Che Zhen heard that his friend had died and vomited blood from anger. His weak body that was heavily injured finally gave in, and he died several days later.

Although familiar face was legendary thieving heaven demon venerable had other inheritances.

There are many inheritances of Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable, but Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable only has ten true inheritances. Each Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's true inheritance is an unparalleled treasure in the world. Usually the Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's true inheritances come in pairs, so obtaining one will give clues to the other. They contain the essence of Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's cultivation. Anyone who obtains them will gain immense potential. The true inheritances that Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable left behind only have one requirement towards the inheritor: they have to be an otherworldly demon.

There exists Thieving Heaven's dream realm in western desert. If Man Tian did not have quasi supreme grandmaster in every path he would have chose theft path.

Considering he knew where some of his inheritance were and there was also dream path realm which can directly promote you to quasi supreme grandmaster in theft path and possibly space path.

Although there were a lot of downsides to taking that path one being not having enough soul foundation.

One must note that even fang Yuan who was cheating lost around a hundred million soul foundation.

...

Man Tian had finished everything he wanted in the imperial court blessed land and Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. Infact everything went better than he expected.

Before leaving Man Tian went to wisdom gu to enlighten some of his problems.

He made great progress on almost all his gu recipes most of them being complete.

Man Tian even got inspiration for the future and straightened out some of his mistakes...

The first and most obvious one being he lost out on the door of life and death. Considering it contained three secluded domains of heaven and earth. possibly four if you add the ordinary abyss.

It was alright if he missed out on the door of life and death considering he would probably get it later but the ordinary abyss...

As a man you just have to own your mistakes and move on without regretting but how can one not regret having the ordinary abyss.

The ordinary abyss was mentioned in the legends of Ren Zu and it contained rank nine reputation gu if it was not refined already and possibly many other gu like strength gu and perseverance gu not like he could get it. It also contained Xi Yu forest.

Regarding the Reputation Gu's story, it originated from the legends of Ren Zu…

One time, Verdant Great Sun got very drunk, when he woke up, his head hurt and he forgot all that happened when he was drunk. He did not know why he was trapped on a lone hill, one which was surrounded by a bottomless abyss.

The abyss was filled with spiral winds, pale green color, this was the 'usual wind'. The winds blew dust into the air, those were the dark yellow color 'mortal dust'.

Verdant Great Sun's heart sank, because he recognised that this was the Ordinary Abyss. No living being had ever managed to fly past it. He was trapped on this lone hill, unable to get out; he would die of starvation eventually.

Thankfully, there was a forest on the lone hill. Verdant Great Sun was hungry, and came into this forest to find fruits to eat. But this forest was very strange, the black soil was like a swamp, smelling extremely pungent. The trees had no leaves, and the branches looked like strange claws. But when the wind blew, there was the sound of leaves moving in the wind.

Verdant Great Sun could not find food, and fell into despair, knowing he was going to die soon.

A few days later, he was so hungry he could not move, leaning on the tree trunk as he laid on the ground.

He eventually fell unconscious.

In his slumber, he could hear many voices talking.

"Hey look, this person finally passed out."

"Mm, as I expected, he's finished."

"Actually, it is possible to leave the Ordinary Abyss, you just need the Reputation Gu."

"Reputation Gu is at the center of the forest, hidden under a rock. Too bad he doesn't know, hahaha…"

"Sshhh, speak softer, it will be bad if he hears us."

"It's okay, it's okay, he has fainted already, before long, the black soil will bury him, and turn him into nutrients for us trees."

Hearing this, Verdant Great Sun jolted awake.

It turns out this forest is Xi Yu Forest, what he had thought was leaves brushing in the wind turned out to be the whispers of the trees.

After hearing the information, Verdant Great Sun walked to the center of the forest, lifted the rock, and obtained the Reputation Gu.

Reputation Gu was like a chrysanthemum, its petals were golden yellow, emitting a fragrance.

Reputation Gu said to Verdant Great Sun: "Young man, thank you for lifting the rock, and saving me. To repay you, I have decided to help you get across this Ordinary Abyss."

Reputation Gu told Verdant Great Sun the method to use it.

Verdant Great Sun was overjoyed, arriving at Ordinary Abyss, and placed the Reputation Gu in his mouth, shouting as loud as he could...

The strange thing was, no matter how loud he shouted, there was no sound, but the vibrations in the air caused the Ordinary Abyss to shake, as the commotion got bigger, it was like an earthquake. The air was even filled with a brilliant fragrance.

Verdant Great Sun did not feel anything weird, as he had known from the Reputation Gu: Reputation itself has no voice, but it can spread wide and create tremors.

As he shouted, a golden bridge appeared in midair, but the bridge's length was limited, there was still a long distance to the other side.

Verdant Great Sun was too hungry, too tired, after trying several times, the effect continue to diminish, and his chance for salvation seemed dim.

Reputation Gu sighed: "Sigh, you have not eaten anything in a while, even though you have a breath left in your stomach, it is too little. From your diaphragm, it has to go through your stomach, chest, throat, and finally your mouth, the journey is too long, we have to reduce it, here, place me between your two buttcheeks.

Verdant Great Sun did as instructed.

Reputation Gu landed near his private part, and turned into a chrysanthemum cave.

"Okay, you can start shouting again." Reputation Gu said.

Verdant Great Sun forced that last breath of his, out of this hole, out of his body.

Prrrrrrrrt—

In his daze, Verdant Great Sun heard a loud sound. The air was filled with an unimaginable stench, but that golden bridge became majestic and large, stretching over a thousand miles, reaching the other side.

A shitty reputation compared to good reputation, is always easier to obtain and maintain.

Verdant Great Sun quickly crossed the bridge, leaving the Ordinary Abyss and reaching the other side, saving his own life.

...

One must note that the protagonist can never be smarter than the author. Yes he can be smarter than everyone in the novel but that would drop the iq of the world, the protagonist, the author and even the readers. I do not want to destroy everyone's brain cells by making women run after the protagonist and the protagonist slapping everyone he sees.

I seem to have forgotten that the door of life contained dang Hun mountain, luo Po valley the reverse flow river and possibly the ordinary abyss. Instead of just changing the first chapter and making a mess I am just going to fix it ahead. Hope you do not blame me.

Thank you readers.
