My monster derivative skills are the orthodox ones

Chapter 367 Furnace
"it is good."

Han Peng hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

There are too many things behind Li Ye, and the secrets are too heavy. It would be good if someone could share the burden with him.

and.

Li Ji's cultivation level was comparable to his, and he alone was no match for Li Ye. Perhaps two people could keep him in check.

Even if he really is backed by a Great Celestial Venerable, if he and Li Ji join forces, they can at least take the initiative and not be suppressed so badly.

As for betraying teammates, that's not true.

Even without him, Li Ye would have found Li Ji sooner or later. At that time, he would be in a more passive position. Moreover, as fellow Nine Luminaries, Li Ji had the right to know the truth.

……

"Han Xingjun, it's settled then."

Li Ye didn't obtain Zeus's mind-reading ability and couldn't see through Han Peng's thoughts, but he didn't care. He persuaded a person who had lived for tens of thousands of years with just a few words.

Besides, I didn't even consider him a human being.

To truly bring Han Peng onto your side, it requires a gradual process, involving coercion, enticement, and the exchange of benefits; it cannot be accomplished overnight.

Seeing that Han Peng remained silent, Li Ye asked, "Star Lord, is there anything else you want to ask?"

“That’s all,” Han Peng said.

"What kind of child does the Star Lord want to have?" Li Ye smiled and continued to ask.

"What?" Han Peng looked down at Luo Feng and Song Jing, who were heavily pregnant, and suddenly his expression turned extremely ugly. "Can you solve this?"

Li Ye shook his head and said, "The path of life has only two paths: death or life."

"However, Star Lord is one of us now, so I can give you a choice: conceive a magical artifact with a demon." He glanced at Du Peng, "or have a child with your wife."

The Zimu River is very famous, and Han Peng is no stranger to the Dao of Life. He glared at Li Ye and said, "Demon."

Li Ye smiled, intercepted a wisp of demonic energy from the flashlight, and sent it into Han Peng's stomach, saying, "Star Lord, you are in charge of pacifying the Heavenly Court army. I hope you won't make a mistake. Otherwise, if I capture you again, you won't be treated so well."

Done.

Li Ye ended the wedding ceremony and returned to the warship, giving Han Peng space to stabilize the Heavenly Court's army.

Capture the thief and the leader.

Once Han Peng was dealt with, he no longer cared about the soldiers below him.

He is only one person, and it is impossible for him to be considerate of everyone.

With so many Heavenly Soldiers under Han Peng's command, there's no way I could stop him from making any underhanded moves. So, it's better to let go from the start.

Isn't laying the groundwork for creating the illusion of having powerful backers just a preparation for all of this?
Even if Han Peng sends the message back to the Heavenly Court, as long as the Longevity Emperor has reservations, he will not be in danger.

Even if the Immortal Emperor came knocking on my door regardless of everything, it would be better for everyone to talk things over amicably. But if he wanted to take advantage of me, the saying "money can change fate" was no joke.

At worst, we'll fight to the death and part ways.

……

Han Peng stared at the spot where Li Ye had disappeared with a gloomy expression. After a long while, he withdrew his gaze and flashed to Luo Feng and the other person's side.

Seeing the two women's bellies about to give birth, Han Peng was furious. With a wave of his hand, he created a barrier of flames, blocking Li Ye's view. "Master, Mu Ye has gone too far." Having regained his mobility, Han Peng was immediately overwhelmed with grievance. "He... he not only stole all my derivative skills, but also my pregnant belly..."

"Stop talking." Feeling the fetus growing inside his womb, Han Peng's lips twitched, and he scolded.

“Master, you too…” Luo Feng was stunned. “This is too much! Master, let’s go back to Heaven and ask the Emperor to send troops to punish this demon…”

"Shut up," Han Peng shouted again.

"Master?" Luo Feng felt wronged and looked at Han Peng in astonishment.

Han Peng sighed and told Luo Feng and the other person about Li Ye's background in detail. Luo Feng and the other person were not suitable to talk to, but there were some things that they should know.

"He's one of the Great Celestial Venerable's men?" Song Jing was stunned.

"Master, Master, do you really believe him?" Luo Feng scoffed. "The Great Celestial Venerable is all-powerful. Since he didn't perish in the calamity, why doesn't he return to take charge of the Heavenly Court? Instead, he sends someone like Mu Ye to cause trouble everywhere and ruin his reputation?"

“I don’t believe that Mu Ye is backed by the Great Celestial Venerable either, that doesn’t seem like the behavior of a Celestial Venerable,” Han Peng said. “But the remains of the Olympian gods are real, and the divine skills of Zeus that Mu Ye possesses are also real. If he is not backed by the Great Celestial Venerable, then there must be someone who is no weaker than the Great Celestial Venerable.”

"Not weaker than the Great Celestial Venerable? Which evil god is it?" Luo Feng asked, startled.

"I don't know." Han Peng frowned and sighed. "The Heavenly Court was too chaotic ten thousand years ago. To this day, no one knows who exactly started this calamity. This sudden return of demonic energy suggests that someone is trying to stir up trouble in secret again!"

"..." Luo Feng was silent for a moment, then asked, "Master, is it possible that this was the work of a sage?"

"There must be a sage behind the Demon-Suppressing Tower, and there must also be a sage behind the Longevity Emperor," Han Peng said. "If the person behind Li Ye is truly a Great Celestial Venerable, then there must also be a sage supporting him..."

"Why doesn't the Celestial Venerable show himself?" Luo Feng asked.

"If the catastrophe ten thousand years ago was orchestrated by someone targeting the Heavenly Court, then the Heavenly Venerable must have been severely injured." Han Peng rubbed his temples. "Perhaps the Heavenly Venerable wants to hide in the shadows and uncover the truth; anything is possible..."

"So, we're not going to report Mu Ye's matter to the Emperor?" Luo Feng asked.

“We can’t escape,” Han Peng said. “Mu Ye’s strength far surpasses mine. Moreover, he has seized the divine skills of the Olympian gods and knows what kind of supernatural powers he possesses. If we make any move, the only thing waiting for the three of us is death.”

Luo Feng's face turned deathly pale: "Is his strength really that terrifying?"

"His strength is at most comparable to my master's," Han Peng sighed. "But he has too many derivative techniques. Moreover, he has completed Hera's wedding barrier. Controlling our wedding domain is almost a law. If he goes any further, he will become a Great Luo."

"A thirty-year-old Luo?" Luo Feng was stunned.

"More or less!" Han Peng gave a bitter smile. "Attaining the Great Luo Dao is inherently as difficult as ascending to heaven. I have been cultivating the Dao of Fire for tens of thousands of years. In those tens of thousands of years, I have been constantly searching for new demons and developing derivative techniques, all in the hope that one day I could attain the Dao through fire. But even now, I am still only a Golden Immortal..."

“Mu Ye might also be stuck at the Golden Immortal realm forever,” Luo Feng said, unconvinced.

“He can bypass cause and effect and plunder other people’s derivative skills,” Han Peng said. “As long as he plunders enough derivative skills, he will be able to become a Grand Luo Golden Immortal in no time.”

“Star Lord, isn’t stealing someone else’s derivative skills an evil act? How can he still attain the Great Luo Dao?” Song Jing asked, frowning.

"That's why I'm unwilling to report Mu Ye's matter to the Emperor." Han Peng looked in the direction of the interstellar warship. "I'm worried that he might be a pawn of some sage, someone who wants to use him to test certain cultivation techniques. Or perhaps he's the reincarnation of some powerful being, or even a furnace for some powerful being!"

"Furnace?" Luo Feng's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in surprise. He seemed not to have heard the first two possibilities, only the words "furnace".

"His body, soul, and derivative skills have all developed in an all-round way," Han Peng said. "In just thirty years, he has achieved what he has today. It is hard not to think that if a Great Luo or Saint damaged his body during the cataclysm ten thousand years ago, it would be perfectly normal for him to cultivate a vessel to possess it."

"Ha!" Luo Feng laughed mockingly. "Fate is truly fickle. I thought he was so powerful, but in the end, he was just a plaything to be fooled..."

Han Peng glanced at Luo Feng, shook his head inwardly, and didn't bother to say anything more.

He suddenly realized that he had made a mistake in accepting this disciple. The disciple was too narrow-minded and only wanted to see what he wanted to see. He was beyond saving.
