The Hidden Myth of Ji Dara

In fact Min Hong could tell that a single punch from the person standing in front of him would not only obliterate his entire physical body, but his soul might also sport a gaping hole in the chest…

"H-how is that possible!?" Min Hong still couldn't wrap his head around the situation;

"Kid, the body cultivation techniques in the world now cannot compare to the ones we had and were using back when we're still in charge of our Plane of Existence!" Old Man Li revealed;

"In addition, we're also the Ancestors of our bloodlines, and thus, our strength is always unprecedented…" He added…

"Oh…" Min Hong went deep in thought as he scrutinized Old Man Li's statement;

"So, you are saying I can end up having a physical prowess of your kind?" he asked;

"Kid, are you messing with me?" Old Man Li asked with a ridiculous smile;

"I would be insanely lucky if I can match up to half your strength when you have completely unlocked the potentials of your bloodline…" He added with a fanatic smile;

"Really!?" Min Hong was truly surprised;

He knew that if the current Old Man Li can obliterate him; a Peak Nirvana Stage expert, then what would he be like when he actually gets a perfect vessel that can contain all his powers, wouldn't he be able to obliterate a Celestial Stage expert with a single punch?

Furthermore, that was only regarding his physical body power, and not Daos or Qi Cultivation, if he had one…

Thus, in Min Hong's mind, he was picturing Old Man Li as at least a God Stage expert in his prime, and here he was telling him that he would be unable to match up with his own strength when he unlocks the full potential of his bloodline, and this begs a question in his own mind;

'How powerful was the Dawn Sovereign at his peak?'

"Yeah, really…"

"Anyways, enough about us; everyone can tell you have currently made some very significant improvements, despite Little Lin's refusal to tell no matter how much we tried to make her do so…" Little Wu butted in…

But just as Min Hong was about to reply, he heard a massive 'Chu-Lom' sound in his head, and then moments later, he abruptly blurted;

"Are you messing with me!?"

Then he looked up to realize that everyone in the area had stunned expressions on their faces;

"Master?" Little Lin called out to ensure all was well and good;

"Oh, it's nothing… I just realized the true extent to which my strength can soar…"

He lied through his stupidly white teeth, whereas, what really caused the three missions that arrived simultaneously;

The First required him to duel Shen Bing and not lose; the battle timeframe was 5 minutes, and the Base Reward was ¢10,000…

Then there was a Potential Bonus which were:

Winning [25%] and Time [50%] and this meant if he could defeat Shen Bing under 5 minutes…

The second mission involved also involved doing battle and it was associated with the 'Pagoda Of Ascension' and his mission was to clear the seventh and eighth floor, and was given a time limit of 1 hour irrespective of whatever he encountered within the trials…

It had a bae reward of ¢20,000 and Min Hong believed the reason why the reward was better than his first mission was because, a part of his cultivation would be stripped off in each levels of the trials which made it much more difficult when compared to his fight with Shen Bing where he could go all out…

The second mission had Potential Bonuses which were:

Time [25%] and Difficulty [25%] and this meant that Min Hong had to win clear those trials as easily as he could make it seem…

The final mission read;

Category – Mission…

Type – Active…

Nature – Development…

Location – Hong City…

Target – Population…

Directive – Develop The Population Size Of Hong City To 10,000…

Time Taken – 3 Months…

Rank – A Rank…

Base Reward – ¢60,000…

Potential Bonuses – Time [25%], Diversity [75%]…

Status – Open…

Progress – Pending…

Max Reward – ¢120,000…

Min Hong was even more stunned by the bonus of the last mission;

Diversity; which meant the more diverse the background of the population was the better the rewards...

Even if they gathered everyone within the District 21 and the Cornerstone Tribe who just returned to the Sect, they could all barely number up to 4,000 people…

Furthermore, that is even considering if the disciples of the Desert Sun Sect would want to leave the Sect which was something extremely unlikely, and this was the reason why Min Hong blurted the statement;

"Are you messing with me!?"

All three missions looked and felt nigh impossible except for the Pagoda Of Ascension…

'Damn it… I can't think about this right now… I think the best I can do is to finish up the first two missions and then take a moment after I clear the eighth floor of the 'Pagoda of Ascension' too think about this'

'After all, I can tell that no one can eavesdrop or peak into whatever I am doing in there…' Min Hong thought to himself before looking towards the group;

"Oh yeah… Concerning what I came here for, I wanted to come test my strength…" Min Hong replied Little Wu's question;

"Oh… How do you plan on doing that, dueling us?" Old Man Li asked with a smirk;

"Hehe, I would be courting death if I even have the slightest thought of dueling you, Old Man Li…" Min Hong chuckled awkwardly as his eyes twitched;

'No shit Sherlock; looking for someone to test out your newfound powers on unh?'

'Why don't you go challenge the twentieth floor of the Pagoda, I won't mind granting you access…' Min Hong thought to himself before adding;

"I was simply thinking of challenging Shen Bing to a 5 minutes all out duel and see if I can hold out long enough… As long as I can come out with a draw, then I'd consider my test a success…"

"Then after that, I also plan on clearing the next two floors of the Pagoda under an hour… If I can manage that, then I can be at peace that my efforts so far hasn't been wasted…"

"If I can finish both tasks, then I can return to the outside world happily…"

Min Hong subtly introduced the nature of his missions into the scenario and it worked because not only did the group feel that the 'Realm Of Creations' was the best place for him to do so;

They also felt that his tasks weren't too lenient and similarly not too ambitious for him, and as a result, they accepted his offer and cleared the area for the first of his missions;

Dueling Shen Bing!

"What is your current total battle prowess!?"

Shen Bing asked as she borrowed Little Bing from Little Wu since Little Lin was already hovering around Min Hong like a love smitten bride who was just seeing her groom for the first time in ages…
