Chapter 138 - 138: Destiny Chessboard
Xu Chu felt the Mystic Yang pure qi in his mind begin to transform into another type of pure qi, and the cultivation technique circulating in his body also began to change.
As time passed, Xu Chu’s strength reached Innate Level 9, but it did not stop.
“He’s about to break through?”
Mei Changge, who was standing outside, felt the change in Xu Chu’s body and smiled.
A subtle willpower was infused into Xu Chu’s body, ultimately transforming into his own will.
wooo!
Mei Changge seemed to have heard a strange cry. Then, Xu Chu jumped out of the soldier pool and floated in the sky.
When he opened his eyes, there seemed to be two burning balls of flames.
A moment later, Xu Chu descended from the sky and arrived in front of Mei Changge.
“Thank you, my lord!”
Xu Chu’s expression was solemn as he knelt on one knee in front of Mei
Changge.
“Get up. There’s no need to be so polite.”
Mei Change smiled and reached out to help Xu Chu up.
From the moment Xu Chu jumped out of the soldier pool, he successfully entered the Transcendent realm and became the second soldier under him to reach the Transcendent realm.
In addition, the 5,000 Mystic Yang soldiers brought by Xu Chu had also grown one or two levels because of the advancement of the soldier pool.
Next, Mei Changge asked Xu Chu to arrange for the Mystic Yang soldiers to enter the soldier pool and transform into Golden Crow Guards.
After coming out of the soldier pool, the 5,000 Golden Crow Guards stood in front of Mei Changge, all of them exuding powerful auras.
Although they had not all entered Innate Level 9 like the Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry, as long as they entered the Phaseless Soldier Tower, they would be able to catch up quickly.
“Xu Chu, lead the Golden Crow Guards into the Phaseless Soldier Tower. Once all the Golden Crow Guards reach Innate Level 9, you may exit. Later on, I’ll arrange for your passage through a stargate.”
Mei Changge looked at Xu Chu standing in front of him and said with a smile.
“Yes, my lord!”
Xu Chu had a serious expression. Then, he left the soldier pool valley with the Golden Crow Guards and headed for the Phaseless Soldier Tower.
Mei Changge had already invested another 50,000 Blessed Stones in the
Phaseless Soldier Tower to increase the strength of the Golden Crow Guards.
After Xu Chu left with the Golden Crow Guards, Mei Changge’s consciousness shifted to the Green Cloud Palace.
“36 maids?”
Mei Changge discreetly counted the number of maids in the Green Cloud Palace and his expression remained unchanged. He then whispered a message into their ears, instructing them to be ready.
“Time to build the White Lotus Soldier Pool.”
Mei Changge’s expression changed. Then, he took out the Soldier Stones, Blessed Stones, and other items.
Since the White Lotus Soldier Pool was at Grade 8, it was easy to build it.
He only needed to set up a special spiritual formation.
Soon, he constructed the White Lotus Soldier Pool. His consciousness shifted to the Green Cloud Palace again, and 36 graceful ladies instantly appeared in front of him.
“Yes, my lord!”
When the maids saw Mei Changge, they greeted him respectfully.
“You will enter the soldier pool and undergo a transformation. When you come out, you will become a White Lotus soldier.”
“Nevertheless, you won’t need to engage in combat to eliminate the enemy.
Your primary duty is to safeguard the Green Cloud Palace.”
Mei Changge said to the maids. He pointed at the White Lotus Soldier Pool that had just been built not far away.
“Which one of you is in charge?”
Mei Changge looked at the many maids and asked curiously.
“My lord, I’m Yu Ying, and I’m currently overseeing their responsibilities.”
When Yu Ying heard Mei Changge’s words, she took a step forward and bowed to Mei Changge with her head lowered. “In that case, you can go in first.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Upon hearing Mei Changge’s words, Yu Ying approached the White Lotus Soldier Pool and gazed at the water, which resembled white jade. Her face had already flushed red.
She placed her jade-like arms gently on her shoulders.
Whoosh!
Her dress slipped off.
“Wait, there’s no need to take it off!”
Mei Changge immediately turned around and exclaimed.
Hearing this, Yu Ying blushed and jumped into the soldier pool. Her entire body seemed to have sunk to the bottom of the soldier pool.
“1-1…’
Yu Ying, immersed in the soldier pool, felt her face flush crimson.
It remained uncertain whether her blush stemmed from shyness or due to the warmth of the spiritual water in the soldier pool. “Hehe. Sister Yu Ying has been seen naked by our lord!”
“Yes! I didn’t expect Sister Yu Ying to be so bold.”
“Tsk, I thought you girls are mentally prepared for this.”
Laughter erupted from the numerous maids, with a few more audacious ones even exchanging some playful banter.
“Ahem. Next, you will enter the White Lotus Soldier Pool one by one. After coming out of it, you will return to the Green Cloud Palace on your own.”
After Mei Changge finished speaking, he left the valley. Yet, prior to departing, he implemented a rule forbidding anyone from entering the valley.
As for the maids, Mei Changge was not worried. As long as they entered the pool, they would basically become White Lotus soldiers. Moreover, the main material was a White Jade Lotus.
After Mei Changge returned to the Green Cloud Palace, the many maids in the valley surrounded the White Lotus Soldier Pool.
A moment later, Yu Ying also walked out of the soldier pool. At that moment, Yu Ying’s skin became fairer than before as if it was made of white jade.
Her entire aura had undergone a tremendous change.
Previously, Yu Ying had exuded a hint of an immortal aura due to her Innate realm strength. However, her aura had undergone a complete transformation.
Her every movement and temperament attracted the gazes of many maids. “Sister Yu Ying is so beautiful. Look at her skin, I love it so much.”
A few daring maids even extended their hands to touch Yu Ying’s skin, their expressions tinged with envy.
“Alright, the rest of you can take your turns going in one by one. You won’t need to envy me once you’ve experienced it.”
Yu Ying smiled and said to everyone.
In a flash, the 36 maids completely transformed into White Lotus soldiers. Under Yu Ying’s lead, they left the valley and returned to Green Cloud City.
In the White Lotus Soldier Pool, all the maids had obtained the inheritance of the White Lotus Soldier. It contained cultivation techniques, array formations, and so on.
When Yu Ying returned to the Green Cloud Palace with the maids, Mei Changge’s eyes flashed with surprise.
After these maids became White Lotus soldiers, their strength increased again.
Moreover, everyone seemed to have become more beautiful.
Their temperament and strength had all changed.
“My lord, we’re back!”
Yu Ying brought the other 35 maids into the hall and bowed to Mei Changge.
“As usual, you girls are still in charge of taking care of the Green Cloud Palace. Don’t forget to cultivate the cultivation techniques or array formations you inherited.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Yu Ying lowered her head, her face still flushed. After making her statement, she departed along with the other maids.
“Next up are the Yellow-Scarved soldiers, but I’m preparing them for the Creation Camp. We can commence once Feng Xiao assembles the remaining departments.”
“As for the Immensity Sea Stones, I’ll save them for later.”
Mei Changge thought about it. After Guo Jia completed the initial construction of the various departments, he would invest his time in the Yellow-Scarved soldiers.
Over the following three days, Mei Changge focused on cultivating the Golden Crow Body and continued using the Nine Yang Spirit Fire to cleanse his body.
At that moment, outside the Dark Wall, a purple light flashed in a city-like building.
Outside the building, a plaque bore the inscription “Blue Star Academy”!
“You’re back already?”
On the highest floor of a pavilion, Lin Lei saw Wan Chuan suddenly appear and asked with a smile.
“That kid has already dealt with the Forest race. There are no powerful foreign races around. Unless he steps outside the Dark Wall, there won’t be any danger.”
Wan Chuan sat on a chair and said with an indifferent expression.
“Welcome back. The Blue Star Academy could benefit greatly from your reputation.”
“Purple River Sword King?”
With a smile on his face, Lin Lei tossed out a piece of paper.
“What do you mean by my reputation? Is your reputation useless?”
Wan Chuan raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.
He was aware of Lightning King’s reputation. Nevertheless, Lin Lei’s desire to utilize his reputation piqued his curiosity.
“I’m responsible for overseeing the affairs of the Blue Star Academy, which means I can only send you out. However, those three brats have been wreaking havoc in No Man’s Land lately. If you don’t intervene soon, things might spiral out of control for them.’
Lin Lei pointed at the paper he had just thrown out.
“What’s this? A bounty?”
“Oh, those three youngsters aren’t too shabby. They’ve even made it onto the bounty lists of the foreign races.”
Seeing the information on the paper, Wan Chuan couldn’t help but smile.
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll lure out the foreign races in the Immortal realm?” Wan Chuan threw the paper back to Lin Lei and asked.
After all, he was in the Dharma realm. If he initiated an attack, it could potentially draw the attention of more formidable beings from the foreign races.
For example, foreign races in the Immortal realm.
“I don’t believe so. I have information indicating that the foreign races are scheming against a level-five stargate. I doubt they’ll divert their attention towards us.”
Lin Lei waved his hand dismissively. Given their location in No Man’s Land, they had considerable knowledge about the foreign races’ activities. Additionally, within the Great Xia Kingdom, numerous academies had already formed alliances.
They formed a huge alliance.
The palace masters of the various academies entered No Man’s Land and established new academies in order to attract the attention of the foreign races.
They even let many powerful individuals form territories in No Man’s Land.
They were involved in battles every day.
There would even be occasional battles between the lords of the Great Xia Kingdom.
“Level-five stargate?”
Hearing Lin Lei’s words, Wan Chuan couldn’t help but tense up. He showed a solemn expression.
“These matters aren’t our concern. Do you still remember the Great Xia
Academy’s Destiny Chessboard?”
Lin Lei’s eyes were solemn as he spoke to Wan Chuan.
“Destiny Chessboard? Could it be…”
Wan Chuan’s eyes were filled with shock.
He hadn’t anticipated that the Great Xia Academy would hatch such an extensive plot, involving the deployment of the Destiny Chessboard.
“That’s right. As long as you become a lord, you will obtain a Great Xia Token. This Great Xia Token is a chess piece on the Destiny Chessboard!”
Lin Lei spoke with a heavy tone.
He did not expect the Great Xia Academy to set up such a huge chess game silently.
“So what do you mean?”
Wan Chuan looked at Lin Lei and asked.
“Let’s observe which chess piece can outmaneuver the others.”
Lin Lei wore an expression of resignation. While they could enter the chess game as well, the consequences of doing so would be substantial.
After all, he was the Palace Master of Blue Star Academy.
“Nonetheless, once you vanquish the opposing chess pieces, the rewards you’ll reap will undoubtedly be beyond imagination.”
Lin Lei’s eyes were filled with passion, but in the end, he forcefully suppressed it.
“No wonder I’ve heard that numerous individuals intend to forcefully tread the path of Destiny. Now it makes sense!”
Wan Chuan let out a heartfelt sigh. While entering the Destiny Chessboard would relegate one to the role of a chess piece, emerging as the victor promised unimaginable rewards.
“That’s right. I wonder who will win such a huge chess game.”
Lin Lei couldn’t help but sigh.
“By the way, when Mei steps outside the Dark Wall, he will officially step into the Destiny chess game.”
Lin Lei gazed at Wan Chuan, a subtle smile gracing his face..
