I Have Infinite Systems In The Immortal World

Chapter 192 Compensation

Reaching the summit, everyone saw the mesmerizing scenery of the sun setting. The energy of heaven and earth was abundant as there were many cultivators either practicing or enjoying the scene.

" This Misty Hill is a large mountain range. However, this is famous as this is the place where Heavenly Emperor Cloud Sea is cultivated. So, it's named as Cloud Sea Peak." Meng Zhi spoke.

" Look at that! Is that a monument?"

" There are many cultivators gathered around it."

Meng Zhi looked at it as she pondered. " That must be the Cloud Stone. It's said that after Heavenly Emperor Cloud Sea got up, he wrote down a poem on the stone. That's the monument where the poem is carved."

" Could it be, a supreme imperial will left behind by Heavenly Emperor Cloud Sea?" Ming Yuexin became excited.

" Heavenly Emperor Cloud Sea was around the same era as our Four Seasons Heavenly Emperor. Even if he had left behind any treasures, it would have taken long ago." Mu Qinglian shook her head. " As for the Will, who knows? Maybe it's dissipated after tens of thousands of years?"

" Heh, If that's the case, why are people still coming here even after so long?" Ming Yuexin grumbled.

" Because of the intent of water and cloud." Meng Zhi walked toward the monument as she spoke.

" Indeed, Although the poem doesn't look anything mystical and is written with simple letters, it contains the power of Grand Dao of Water and Clouds." Long Ming spoke as his Heavenly Revelation Eyes shone.

" Although, for norma cultivators, this monument is nothing more than a useless piece of artifact with no practical use, those with great eyesight and comprehension can decipher the truth behind the poem."

" Brother Long is wise."

Long Ming saw many cultivators walking around the monument while some were cultivating before it.

Ming Yuexin was eager as she walked forward and touched the stone monument. " Interesting, I can feel powerful and oppressive power inside the stone. Even if I try, I won't be able to destroy it."

" However, other than that, I can't feel anything extra in this."

Mu Qinglian looked at it as she circulated her Four Seasons Flowing Energy Art. She could feel a faint trace of intent of water from the monument.

" Haaah, I don't care about this though." Meng Zhi yawned as she looked at the scenery. " The main attraction here is the sunset here. It's said that the setting sun at the Misty Hills is not only beautiful, but it also made many powerful cultivators enlightened, blessing the land of Misty Hills."

" So, What are we waiting for? Bring forth food and wine." Ming Yuexin laughed as she found a spot to sit and relax. " Huhu, Brother Long, Didn't you promise to me have a discussion about sword dao? I have some doubts regarding Bright Emperor's Sword Technique."

" Is that so?" Mu Qinglian glanced at Long Ming. " How amusing. To think you are proficient in both archery and sword. And you even managed to make Sister Ming feel that your sword comprehension is superior."

" That's nothing. I just love to dabble in different fields. That's all." Long Ming became amused. But then, he noticed Meng Zhi's mood was a bit off.

" What is it, Sister Meng? Such stiff expression doesn't suit your face." Long Ming walked toward her with a smile.

" Haha, I am alright, Little Brother Long." Meng Zhi smiled. " It's just… I was contemplating about some things."

" And what is it? The fight earlier?" Long Ming asked.

" Yeah." Meng Zhi sighed. " Along with accompanying you, I was given another task by Big Sister Xia. That's to protect you guys. However, fighting with that old bastard, I felt my strength as the elder of Four Seasons Valley is still lacking."

" I see." Long Ming looked at Meng Zhi as he laughed lightly. " But I think, Big Sister Meng did her best. Besides, It wasn't like you wasted your years in Four Seasons Valley."

" Thanks to your management, Four Seasons Valley had a stable income source as Eternal Spring Tower. Not to mention, you also made the intelligence network of Four Seasons Valley stronger."

" After you refine all the Evil Moon Yin qi inside your body, you will be able to break through to the next stage. Not to mention, you also going to have the Gentle Spring Rejuvenation Art."

Meng Zhi's eyes brightened when she heard that. " Haha, Little Brother is too good at cheering up people. Now you have said that I am feeling a lot better."

Suddenly, Long Ming's eyes widened as he felt Meng Zhi's lips on his cheeks.

" Hehe, Have this as my reward, Little brother." Meng Zhi winked as she looked at stunned Long Ming.

" Sister Meng, What are you doing!" Mu Qinglian stamped her feet when she saw that. " Shameless! What are you doing in broad daylight?"

" Oh my, Someone is getting jealous."

" You!!"

As they bickered, Long Ming walked and sat before the stone monument, gazing at the written poem intently.

The clouds have gathered, and gathered,

and the rain falls and falls,

The eight ply of the heavens

are all folded into one darkness.

Long Ming took a deep breath as he activated his Temporal Fate Simulation Art. Using his Heavenly Revelation Eyes, Long Ming gazed at the stone monument, trying to look at its distance past.

Suddenly, his surroundings shifted as Long Ming's consciousness visualized the past. He saw a man sitting on a stone slab, drinking wine while sitting in a downpour.

Long Ming could only see the back of that man. However, just looking at his back, he felt a powerful wave of oppression, as it was a gigantic, unmovable mountain. The aura of the man was enough to make a myriad of people submit before him.

As he drank, Long Ming suddenly heard a sigh coming from that man's mouth.

" I see…"

The moment the man spoke, the rain stopped as the dark cloud rolled. It was like the bellowing clouds turned into a shroud of the man, covering him completely.

The man rose as he became one with the rain and clouds. With a single wave of his palm, the dark cloud dissipated and the sunlight shone across the Misty Hills.

Looking at the distant sun, the man let out a hearty laugh. It was like he understood something and broke through his shackles.

The moment he turned around, Long Ming only felt a pair of powerful eyes before his consciousness shattered.

" PHUAAAAA!"

Long Ming gasped as he took a deep breath of air. Unknown to him, his back was completely drenched.

" Haah! Haah, Just the gaze alone in the past can break my technique?" Long Ming mumbled with shock. Not to mention, he also took a glimpse at the cultivation realm of that man and realized that he wasn't a Heavenly Emperor. At most, he was at Grand Heaven Ascension Realm cultivation.

' Not even a Heavenly Emperor, yet he holds tremendous power under the heavens and earth.' Long Ming sighed in his heart.

That person was obviously the Heavenly Emperor Cloud Sea, who wasn't a Heavenly Emperor at that time. However, judging from his looks, he wasn't that far either.

Long Ming kept sitting before the monument and gazing at the poem. Suddenly, he realized something.

' This poem…It's incomplete. He also mumbled the same poem back there. But he only wrote half of it!' Long Ming felt it was pretty odd when he thought about that.

However, that also means that the stone monument wasn't completely useless. The Heavenly Emperor might have left behind some secrets in it.

Long Ming became excited when he realized that. He glanced around and saw there were still many cultivators. So, he closed his eyes and entered in a meditative state, waiting for the night to arrive.

Ming Yuexin felt it was getting boring. However, seeing Long Ming in the cultivation session, she didn't disturb him.

As it was already past midnight, Long Ming opened his eyes and glanced at the stone monument. Under the moonlight, the stone monument was giving off a faint cerulean light.

Long Ming took out his Treasured Jade Brush as his intent of water poured into it.

Rain, rain, and the clouds have gathered,

The eight ply of the heavens are darkness,

The flat land is turned into rivers.

'Wine, wine, here is wine!'

Long Ming recalled the poem as he wrote the latter half of the poem on the monument.

Suddenly, the stone monument trembled as all the words shone with a gentle brilliance. A scroll jumped out from the stone monument, landing on Long Ming's palm.

" This… This is a battle technique?"

Long Ming was a bit startled when he saw that. He was also excited as he knew the powerful techniques made by experts like Heavenly Emperor Winter Song and Crimson Sky.

" Oh my, So that's your real intention all along."

Long Ming's body tensed as he jumped out of shock. But then, he realized it was Meng Zhi.

" Heavens, Sister Meng! You scared me!" Long Ming complained.

" Aww, Is that so? I guess Meng Zhi needs some punishment then." Meng Zhi grinned as she looked at Long Ming.

" Is that so? I won't mind disciplining Sister Meng a bit." Long Ming smirked.

*A few moments later*

" Si-Sister Meng, What is someone… see us?" Long Ming spoke in a hushed voice as his legs trembled a bit.

Before her, Meng Zhi was on her knees.

" Tee hee~ Don't be afraid, Little Brother Long. I am just compensating you for scaring you."

"Uh..."
