Chapter 1301: I’ll Let You Have a Taste of My Power
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lu Zhou did not expect to receive so many merit points. This should be the most merit points he received from his disciples at once. With these merit points, he could synthesize an advanced enhanced Reduction Card.
Lu Zhou’s thoughts began to wander. Ten seeds were born from ten Pillars of Destruction. Coincidentally, he obtained all ten seeds.
The Pillar of Destruction in Yu Zhong had recognized Mingshi Yin. His cultivation would surely increase by leaps and bounds.
Lu Zhou thought he should bring his disciples to the remaining nine Pillars of Destruction to seek the pillars’ recognition. However, he could not count on being lucky like he was in Yu Zhong. He was not afraid of Venerable Masters, but the likes of Lord Zhennan would be troublesome to deal with.
After Lord Zhennan uprooted himself, even Tuoba Sicheng who had 20 Birth Charts was no match for him. It was best for him to learn more and obtain more information before doing anything.
Finally, Lu Zhou said, “Alright, let’s go to the capital.”
Zhao Yu was overjoyed. “Thank you for your favor, old sir!”
Mingshi Yin frowned. “You don’t have any ulterior motive, do you?”
Zhao Yu said sheepishly, “I do have a presumptuous request.”
“You really can’t trust this guy! If he’s being nice, he’s either scheming or stealing. Master, we can’t trust him. Why don’t I kill him for you?” Mingshi Yin said.
Lu Zhou found Mingshi Yin’s seemingly unreasonable hostility toward Zhao Yu strange. Mingshi Yin had never been rash, the complete opposite of Duanmu Sheng. In the end, he said, “Stop messing around.”
Mingshi Yin could only glare at Zhao Yu unhappily.
Zhao Yu said, “Brother Mingshi, don’t be mad. To tell you the truth, my mother has been afflicted with a strange illness and is bedridden all year round. Over the years, the illness has gotten worse. The doctors said that we need the fire lotus, snow lotus, and blood ginseng from the Unknown Land to treat me. These three things are very precious. I’m afraid some rats will covet them. If old sir visits my humble abode, I’m sure my mother’s illness will be cured.”
“Really?” Mingshi Yin looked at Zhao Yu skeptically.
“If I lie, I’ll die without a burial ground and my son would have not butth*le!”
“Okay! Your oath is ruthless enough. I believe you,” Mingshi Yin said.
The flying chariot adjusted its course and slowly flew toward Xiangyang, the capital of Great Qin, crossing lofty mountains and a sea of clouds.
Lu Zhou asked, “You’re from the royal family. Why would you be afraid of those rats?”
“I’m not afraid of making a joke out myself in front of you, old sir. The royal family is like this. The more loyal you are, the less likely people will believe you,” Zhao Yu said with a sigh.
“I have an informant. His name is Jiang Aijian. You’re somewhat like him…”
“Jiang Aijian?”
“His real name is Liu Chen. He’s the third prince of Great Yan. He’s the only survivor of a massacre of more than 1,000 people that happened due to internal strife. He’s really annoying…” Mingshi Yin said.
It was fine if no one brought up Jiang Aijian, however, now that Jiang Aijian was mentioned, Mingshi Yin felt that he quite missed Jiang Aijian. At least, Jiang Aijian was more likable than Zhao Yu. When he returned, he decided to have a drink with Jiang Aijian.
Lu Zhou no longer joined in the conversation. Instead, he busied himself with synthesizing an item card. With 100,000 merit points, he could synthesize an advanced enhanced Reduction Card.
Merit points: 387,810
In the end, he bought nine Reduction Cards and four Synthesis Cards.
After all that, he was only left with 73,810 merit points left.
Lu Zhou felt a hint of anticipation before he duplicated the card. If the effect was not good,?he would just save the merit points and buy the beast essence to upgrade Whitzard.
Lu Zhou brought out the Duplication Card and placed it with the card he had just synthesized.
“Duplicate.”
“Ding! Duplication successful.”
Lu Zhou watched as the exquisite translucent item card in his hand shimmered before it transformed into the advanced enhanced Reduction Card. It was exactly the same as the original. There was a huge hand in the middle of the card that looked as though it was about to dig out a life heart. Even the patterns on the back were the same.
“Ding! Duplicated advanced Reduction Card. New effect obtained after duplication: there’s a chance of destroying two of the target’s best life hearts. Note: This only applies to those who are weaker than Saints.”
‘Weaker than Saints?” Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow. Prior to this, there was no limit to the card.
According to the law of conservation, all energies had a source. Then, where did his energy come from?
‘Could it be that a supreme being is secretly helping me?’
When he was in the golden lotus domain, the opponents he faced had fewer than eight leaves. At that time, with his cultivation base, he would not even be able to withstand a sneeze from a Thousand Realms Whirling cultivator. Moreover, the Deadly Strike Card back then could not even compare to a palm strike from a Thousand Realms Whirling cultivator.
‘A hidden supreme being?’ Lu Zhou looked around as he activated his power of sight, power of hearing, and power of smell at the same time.
With the flying chariot in the center, a unique energy rippled out in all directions, covering 10,000 meters. With this, he could see, hear, and smell everything.
Apart from a few birds flapping their wings in the sky, there were no abnormal movements. Everything seemed normal.
Lu Zhou cut off the Heavenly Writing Power. He shook his head and felt that he was overthinking.
If his power and the system came from a supreme being, then, how powerful was a supreme being?
When Lu Zhou thought of this, he was reminded of the Kun in the Endless Ocean. Now that his system had been upgraded twice, he wondered if he would be able to deal with the Kun. Perhaps, he should attempt it in the future. If he obtained the Kun’s life heart, it would definitely boost his cultivation beyond imagination.
After a while, Lu Zhou silently recited the mantra for the power of sight to observe Zhu Honggong.
The first thing Lu Zhou saw was Zhu Honggong sitting lazily on a golden throne.
Zai Hong, the emperor of Great Qing, sat next to him on equal footing.
Civil and military officials in the hall stood respectfully at the sides.
Zai Hong said as he grabbed Zhu Honggong’s hand, “Younger brother, I really missed you to death. The moment you returned, you solved Great Qing’s crisis immediately! You’re really Great Qing’s lucky star!”
Zhu Honggong chuckled. A satisfied expression could be seen on his face as he said, “It’s a piece of cake to solve the crisis. After I left, I’ve missed this place as well. I felt as though I’d returned home when I returned to this place. It’s truly comfortable here…”
Zai Hong said, “Now that you’ve returned, you mustn’t leave again.”
“I won’t leave again,” Zhu Honggong said.
“That’s great! I’ve already ordered people to build a palace for you. From now on, we’ll sit on equal footing and treat each other as brothers. What do you think?”
“Isn’t that inappropriate?”
Zai Hong said, “How’s it inappropriate? Who dares to defy my decree? Moreover, you’re the Divine Lord. How many contributions have you made to Great Qing and its people? You’re respected by millions of people!”
Zai Hong was just short of giving up the throne.
“After you left, my sister lost her appetite for days, and she couldn’t sleep. Now that you’re back, why don’t I arrange for both of you to be married? What do you think?”
Zhu Honggong laughed until his eyes could not be seen. He was just about to agree when…
“Mr. Eighth, come back to your senses. We still have business to attend to.”
The voice rang from among the civil and military officials. The person who had spoken was none other than Zhao Hongfu who came to the yellow lotus domain with Zhu Honggong.
“Who’s this?” Zai Hong asked in confusion.
“Miss Zhao is one of my subordinates,” Zhu Honggong said.
Zai Hong frowned. ‘How can a mere subordinate speak to the Divine Lord in such a manner?’
Zhao Hongfu was displeased by Zhu Honggong’s words. She said, “Mr. Eighth, this isn’t what you said before we came.”
Zhu Honggong waved his hand and said, “Lock her up for now. There’s something wrong with my subordinate’s brains.”
“Understood.”
Zhao Hongfu. “…”
Zhao Hongfu was truly amazed by Zhu Honggong’s face-changing tactics after experiencing it. She protested, “Brother Zhu, aren’t we brothers? How can you treat me like this?”
“Why are you standing there? Bring her away. She can’t even differentiate between men and women; her brain is getting more and more muddled,” Zhu Honggong said as he waved his sleeve.
“…”
Several guards entered the main hall. However, these guards were ultimately weaklings. They might be experts in the yellow lotus domain, but in front of Zhao Hongfu, they were nothing.
Zhao Hongfu spun around and kicked them away easily.
Upon seeing this, Zai Hong frowned. He looked at Zhu Honggong, asking for his help.
Zhu Honggong pointed at Zhao Hongfu and said, “Zhao Hongfu, do you think I’m a pushover just because I don’t show my might?”
Zhu Honggong removed his outer robe and walked down the stairs.
Zhao Hongfu retreated. “I’m warning you! If you hit me, I’ll complain to Mr. Seventh!”
“Go ahead and complain. I’m not going to stoop to his level. If I really hit him, he won’t be able to withstand it,” Zhu Honggong said as he continued to move forward.
The main doors of the main hall closed with a creak, and the civil and military officials moved to the sides.
Zhu Honggong said with a smile, “Why don’t you let me enjoy a few days of bliss? Anyway, we’re so far away, they won’t know.”
Zhao Hongfu said, “The imbalance is very serious. There are many fierce beasts in this place. What if…”
Zhu Honggong cracked his knuckles threateningly.
The guards watched intently.
“There’s no need to fear or worry. If the sky falls, my master will take care of it! If you don’t listen to me, I’ll let you have a taste of my power!” Zhu Honggong said before he stepped forward and threw his fist out.
Thud!
Zhu Honggong suddenly fell to his knees and slid forward in that position on the smooth floor.
Zhao Hongfu. “???”
Zai Hong and the others.. “???”
