Monarch Of Time Chapter 901

Chapter 901

Liu Mei was momentarily taken aback after hearing Little Black's voice in her head, before a look of puzzlement, as well as relief, quickly covered her face.
Naturally, she was relieved knowing that Shun Long was alright and that nothing bad had really happened to him. After all, she and Little Black had been the only ones present while they were still in the 'City of Sin', back in the 'Night star continent', when Shun Long had suddenly disappeared from their alchemy shop, causing a huge disturbance throughout the city.
It was only after he returned, that Shun Long had let both Liu Mei and Little Black know, that he had been transported to an extremely mysterious place akin to a prison.
However, Liu Mei was unable to hide her puzzlement when she heard the latter half of Little Black's sentence. No matter how she looked at it, her current cultivation base was undoubtedly the highest out of everyone else present.
She had already stepped into the early rank 9 of the Dao King realm during this past year, and she was actually only a step away from becoming a middle rank 9 Dao King as well. In fact, if it weren't for the sole reason that she hadn't absorbed enough qi after killing most of Yao Guanting's group of 100 Dao Kings, she would have already stepped into the peak of the Dao King realm long ago, becoming a peak rank 9 Dao King!
However, it was almost as if Little Black could guess what Liu Mei was thinking right now, as the black dragon stared at the peerlessly beautiful young woman with a look of clear mockery in his bright azure eyes, before he continued
''Little girl, do you really think that you have done a good job after merely becoming a measly early rank 9 Dao King? Do you really think that you are the strongest one present amongst you all right now? How foolish. Even if we exclude master from this discussion, there is still that little brat with the bloodline of the 'Demonic Crow of Darkness' who is stronger than you!''
Little Black's words were cold and unrelenting as they mercilessly struck Liu Mei's heart like a gigantic hammer, causing it to shake intensely.
Indeed, although Liu Mei was already an early rank 9 Dao King, she couldn't say with complete certainty that she could actually suppress the current Jiang Chen, if the two of them really fought each other.
Of course, if it was just a normal spar, there was no way that Jiang Chen would be able to take more than a couple of hits from Liu Mei's skeletons with his current middle rank 7 Dao King realm cultivation before losing.
However, if he decided to go all-out and burn his blood essence to activate his bloodline of the 'Demonic Crow of Darkness'... then that would be a completely different story! Even Liu Mei wouldn't be able to say with confidence that she could definitely suppress him in that state.
Additionally, although Jiang Chen's, Bai Longtian's, and Xingyi's cultivation bases were increasing at a noticeably slower pace compared to hers, Liu Mei could still feel, that Bai Longtian's and the others' auras all seemed to possess a certain distinct quality, that her own aura seemed to be lacking.
If Liu Mei's aura was like a powerful stream that was about to become a river, then Jiang Chen's, Bai Longtian's, and Xingyi's auras were akin to much smaller streams but with the potential to turn into oceans instead!
This was a feeling that was extremely difficult to put into words, but Liu Mei could tell that as time continued to pass, Jiang Chen and the others' auras would only continue to grow even stronger and more refined, while her own aura remained the same.
Clearly, this was the result of Bai Longtian, Xingyi, and Jiang Chen, constantly absorbing the pure immortal qi from the 'Heaven Swallowing vine' within the 'Five-elements protective formation' for the past 2 years.
Inside the foggy space in the 'Stone of Time', Little Black couldn't help but snort when he saw Liu Mei's complicated expression as she stared at Xingyi and the others just a few meters away from her, before the black dragon continued coldly
''Little girl, what are you sulking there for? If you already understand what's going on, then all you have to do is simply catch up to those brats! Don't tell me you've already forgotten what a huge advantage you possess compared to them!?''
It was only after hearing this sentence that Liu Mei's stunning black eyes abruptly lit up again, only for a look of surprise and bewilderment to quickly cover her face soon afterwards.
Although it was true that the 'Blood Absorption art' that Little Black had given to her was extremely powerful, and allowed Liu Mei to cultivate extremely quickly simply by absorbing and refining the qi from the enemies she killed, it was also her own limiting factor this time.
After all, Liu Mei could tell that Bai Longtian and the others were now growing increasingly stronger by the day, after refining the immortal qi that they absorbed from the 'Heaven Swallowing vine'.
However, the Dao Kings from Yao Guanting's group that she had killed previously didn't even possess a speck of immortal qi inside them, so naturally, Liu Mei hadn't absorbed any of it either. Since her 'Blood Absorption art' focused on absorbing the qi from the enemies she killed instead of cultivating normally like the others, Liu Mei could tell that as time continued to pass, she would only continue to get left even further behind, and would never be able to catch up to Xingyi and the others in terms of the immortal qi that they possessed.
After letting out an exasperated sigh, the look in Little Black's azure eyes suddenly turned incomparably profound and deep, as if a galaxy of countless stars and constellations were being contained within the black dragon's gaze, before his voice rang out in Liu Mei's head once more
''Little lass, who said that you can't absorb the immortal qi around you using the 'Blood Absorption art'? Who told you that you can't cultivate normally with it? No matter what, it's still a cultivation technique of the 'Immortal King' level, a top-grade cultivation technique even in the 'Immortal Dimension'! How could it be any inferior to the average 'Immortal-grade' cultivation techniques? Although it's true that you are somewhat lacking in talent, at least compared to those 3 brats that follow master alongside you, as long as you cultivate diligently from now on, you can still catch up to them in less than a year!"
At that moment, at the same time that Little Black's voice finished resounding in Liu Mei's head, the surrounding space within the 'Five-elements protective formation' suddenly started to ripple, before a familiar figure abruptly appeared next to Liu Mei!
