Stronger with Crimson Modifier

A sword hung at his waist, its hilt wet with rain, glinting with a cold light.

The leader, Wu Yidao, watched with eyes like a hawk, vigilantly scanning their surroundings for any potential danger.

However, as he scanned the area, his gaze would occasionally shift to the rear, revealing a look of deep reverence.

Behind the convoy, a young man on horseback followed at a leisurely pace.

One would notice something strange if they got closer.

The rain was coming down quite hard.

In stark contrast to the soaked escort convoy, this horse—aside from a few splashes on its hooves—was completely spotless. Both the animal and the young man riding it were unnaturally dry.

It was as if the falling rain was being blocked by an invisible barrier.

This young man was none other than Hu Qi, who had recently left Tai Ze Lake.

The reason for leaving Tai Ze Lake was, naturally, because of the revelation he had seen in the threads of fate.

In three days, he would be severely wounded by the Tai Ze Hu Demon Monarch, causing his Cultivation to stagnate.

The Tai Ze Hu Demon Monarch.

Hu Qi was no stranger to this name.

He had previously learned about him from Ape Celestial Dragon.

The entirety of Tai Ze Lake was vast, its waterways stretching far and wide.

There were more than ten Demon Kings at the Nascent Element Realm, similar to Ape Celestial Dragon.

And that Tai Ze Hu Demon Monarch was the true king of all of Tai Ze Lake.

To be called a Demon Monarch, one’s strength within the Demon Race had to reach the Nascent Soul Stage.

The threads of fate said that in three days, this being would seek him out and severely injure him.

Naturally, Hu Qi wasn’t going to sit around and wait for death, letting the other party come to his door.

Although his Twisted Light could shield him from the interference of the fine threads of fate, it would still be a hassle if the Demon Monarch truly decided to act against him.

Unless absolutely necessary, Hu Qi despised fighting those stronger than himself or battling across realms.

To him, such acts might seem heroic, but they were fraught with uncertainty. The slightest misstep could lead to complete failure.

He preferred to use absolute, overwhelming strength to crush the weak.

Therefore, he certainly wouldn’t choose to face the Demon Monarch head-on.

So as not to be wasteful, before leaving, Hu Qi gathered all the Great Demons and Spirit Monsters in the waters of the Water Ape Mansion, devoured them, and converted them into Modification Points on his panel.

He only left behind a few Spirit Monsters that were hidden extremely deep.

If circumstances had allowed, he would have even gone to other waters.

However, that would have likely introduced new uncertainties.

So he had to give up on that tempting idea.

As for his ’little brother’ and ’little sister,’ Ah Huang and Ah Hong, Hu Qi didn’t take them along, leaving them behind in Tai Ze Lake.

Before he left, Hu Qi gave the two snakes the Qi Cultivation Technique he had previously practiced.

Their aptitude was quite good, and they had managed to reach the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, also known as Qi Gathering.

Plus, with the two of them cultivating together, as long as they didn’t run into a Great Demon at the Dao Foundation Level, ordinary Spirit Monsters would be no match for them.

The destination of Hu Qi’s journey was none other than the Cyan Yang Sect, where Bai Tongtong resided.

His goal, of course, was the Nascent Soul Transformation Level Cultivation Technique within the sect.

With Bai Tongtong’s Ability, who knows how long it would take her to obtain a Nascent Soul Transformation Level Dharma Gate.

Therefore, he planned to take matters into his own hands.

As for why he didn’t seek out those people undergoing tribulations, there were two reasons.

First, these individuals undergoing tribulations were all being closely monitored by members of the Three Great Immortal Sects. These sects possessed profound foundations and immense power, with countless disciples serving as their eyes and ears everywhere. They maintained strict control over these fated individuals, hoping to find opportunities or even to manipulate the situation. Interfering was no easy task for an outsider.

Second, these individuals had not yet matured.

Hu Qi had observed their fates. The time the great calamity would begin was very close to the day he had descended into this world.

In such a short period, even if they were blessed with immense fortune and possessed extraordinary aptitude, at most, they would have only just stepped into Qi Cultivation.

What’s more, several of them had not even been born yet.

They were still developing in their mothers’ wombs.

So, Hu Qi was in no hurry.

He might as well use this time to increase his own strength and wait for these fated individuals to grow up.
