Chapter 799: Chapter 803 Goddess Gossip
Having drunk just enough to feel a slight buzz, Zhu Minglang collapsed onto the soft, large bed and, using a kind tone, persuaded the geishas who were attending to him to leave. He then found the things that Fan Guangzhong, the old wreck, had left behind.
Since there was still such a long thread to this matter, the items Fan Guangzhong gave him were probably not so simple.
Zhu Minglang found a letter written in sloppy handwriting that described Fan Guangzhong’s life—he had not expected the old man to have such a delicate heart and a fondness for diary writing.
The content wasn’t too complicated, mostly in line with what the several Sect Masters at the dinner table had discussed.
However, one thing made Zhu Minglang’s eyes suddenly light up.
It turned out that Fan Guangzhong was indeed a rare genius, the kind who had an epiphany later in life. He had comprehended a thod for soul enhancent, which involved collecting various attribute Soul Beads from the world and pouring them all together, similar to refining pills in a furnace, to sublimate and advance… dragons.
“According to his thod of the furnace-style soul enhancent, it is possible to transform a God Dragon Son into the level of a Divine Dragon General!”
“It looks incredibly powerful. The old man was probably trying to ascend to the level of God General when he was betrayed by his own direct disciple, losing a great deal of his cultivation base and plunging the entire person into a state of illness.”
“Exactly what kind of attribute Soul Beads are needed, whether it’s the Five Elents or other elents… Oh, the old man has the formula here, but the furnace seems to have been taken by his rebellious disciple Hua Dongming. Hua Dongming also seems to have leveraged that ‘Soul Bead Furnace’ to beco the Master of the Sail Dragon Palace, not only increasing his own strength but also making his subordinates stronger.”
Zhu Minglang pondered over the old man’s notes in great detail. What surprised Zhu Minglang was that he also knew the thod for advancing to God General level.
At the God level, each advancent in rank is as difficult as scaling the heavens. Zhu Minglang was soone with a relatively high destiny, equally needing to seek out those rare treasures in the world to have a chance of advancing Bai Qi and the Yama Dragon to the level of Divine Dragon General.
The old man’s thod for soul enhancent must be viable, otherwise, the traitor Hua Dongming would not have been able to spring into the Divine Gate so swiftly and beco a subordinate taken seriously by Hua Chou.
“So, if I can take back that soul enhancent Bead Tripod from Hua Dongming, as long as I collect all the Soul Beads and Dragon Balls of the utmost quality, I can promote Bai Qi and the Yama Dragon to the level of Divine Dragon General.”
“The task arranged by Old Heavenly Father isn’t bad at all, it can greatly save my ti.”
Although it was only a matter of ti before Zhu Minglang advanced to the God General level, the cultivation years of a god were probably counted in decades, centuries, or even millennia. Zhu Minglang didn’t wish to spend most of his life lurking in Hua Chou’s shadow.
“Young Master, it’s getting late, it’s ti to undress and rest. Let this servant attend to you,” an extrely alluring voice ca from outside the door.
“Hahuff~~~ Hahuff~~~” Zhu Minglang pretended to be asleep with a snore as big eyes looked on.
“What, am I not pretty enough?” The geisha knew Zhu Minglang was pretending and acted coquettishly.
“Sorry, won will only slow down my cultivation. I need to study this ascension thod overnight. Please return to your own room and rest.”
“Silly cultivator!”
…
Since they were all heading to the Divine City, Zhu Minglang joined the various Sect Masters on the road.
It was sowhat embarrassing that while other Sect Masters were accompanied by a large entourage, with even water ticulously served by female disciples—clear spring water, sugared water, hot tea…
Being a Sect Master without followers was indeed a bit awkward, but fortunately, Zhu Minglang was soone who didn’t pay much attention to worldly views. A person with strength, no matter how out of place they are in an environnt, can always hold their head high.
Accompanying them on their journey was also that Lord Song God, the young noble God’s Descendant, who understood etiquette quite well. To prevent Zhu Minglang from feeling awkward, he specially arranged for the pretty and refined female disciple who previously greeted Zhu Minglang to accompany him, and would occasionally co over for a drink and chat.
Lord Song God was also a Dragon Trainer, possessing a Half Mountain Xuan Turtle Dragon. Even when crossing a rugged mountain, there was not the slightest jolt, and a wooden pavilion was perched on the back of the Black Turtle Dragon. These Sect Masters were engaged in drinking and conversing as they traveled, with green mountains passing by on both sides, making the journey quite pleasant.
Half Mountain Xuan Turtle Dragon…
Very nice, Zhu Minglang took quite a liking to it. For soone like him, who always had to patrol the heavens, who often travels across various territories and realms, having a dragon like this one, carrying a small courtyard building on its back, did indeed have the air of a wandering immortal.
“Lord Song God, your Black Turtle Dragon is quite uncommon, isn’t it? Where did you capture it?” Zhu Minglang asked curiously.
“Immortal Tomb White Domain. Master Zhu, have you heard of it? Back then, it was our God Xuan Ge who personally led a team into the Immortal Tomb White Domain to seek an ancient artifact. I was young and impetuous, too ignorant of the vastness of heaven and earth, and followed along. I gained this Half Mountain Xuan Turtle Dragon but nearly had my soul shattered by a feathered demon demi-immortal. Since then, I have not been too deliberate in pursuing the path to godhood, acting as a carefree Lord of Divine City here in the human world, enjoying fine wines and beautiful won, which is also exceedingly joyful,” Lord Song God said with a laugh.
Lord Song God is always drinking, surrounded by several beautiful maidservants at his service. Seeing his pale complexion despite his young age, one can easily deduce that he is accustod to such indulgence.
“The Immortal Tomb Bai Domain sounds quite perilous,” Zhu Minglang comnted.
“Even a True God who enters there cannot co out unscathed,” the Sect Master with the neat beard said.
“When the day cos that I lay down the heavy burden of being Sect Master, I’ll definitely make a trip to the Immortal Tomb Bai Domain!”
The other Sect Masters were clearly aware of the Immortal Tomb Bai Domain, which was situated between the Huachou Divine Nation and Xuange Divine Nation. Zhu Minglang took note of this special location and made plans to explore its dangers. Of course, it would be best to wait until at least one of his dragons had reached the Divine Dragon General level.
…
The territory of Xuange Divine Nation was indeed vast. The Half Mountain Xuan Turtle Dragon, having almost demi-god strength, still took nearly a month to traverse the land.
Over this month, Zhu Minglang had beco acquainted with the other Sect Masters who were constant drinking companions. Perhaps because of the congenial Lord Song God’s presence, everyone began to address each other as brothers, without much prejudice over the strength of their respective sects. Though they lacked the spirited ambition of young n just starting out, they all aspired to the divine realm and harbored ambitions for the heavens.
Anyone who had beco a Sect Master had already crossed the great chasm between mortals and gods at the King Level. They were either on the road to deification or had already touched the threshold of divinity. The topics of their conversation were mostly concerning matters of the God Realm. Of course, their more worldly common interests were wine and won…
“Lord Song God, may I speak a few words that might seem offensive?” Master Li Wangshan, with his mature bearded deanor, asked with a smile.
“Go ahead, there are no taboos with ,” Lord Song God replied.
“We have been talking about beauties. The number one beauty of Xuange Divine Nation must undoubtedly be her, cough cough, at a certain grand event, I caught a fleeting glimpse and couldn’t sleep for three days and nights…” Li Wangshan spoke in a low voice, as if afraid of being overheard.
“Hahaha, Master Li, there’s no need to be so cautious. We in Xuange have always been open-minded, not caring about such aningless feigned respect. You an to say that our Xuange God is considered the foremost beauty of this era. Although I don’t think so, there indeed are many who have said the sa to …” Lord Song God burst out laughing, not minding at all to talk about the deity worshipped and revered by the Xuange Divine Nation.
Zhu Minglang had been studying the Soul Bead formula left by the old drunkard Fan Guangzhong, but when the topic of the Xuange God ca up among the Sect Masters, Zhu Minglang’s ears involuntarily pricked up.
Xuange God.
Yes, a goddess.
Most people in the Tianshu God Domain held her in high regard, and Mi Rong had ntioned more than once that the Xuange God was an all-knowing deity, possessing abilities similar to prophets and star observing masters, knowledgeable about the past and the present, and able to foresee the secrets of heaven…
In terms of appearance, Zhu Minglang had seen so albums depicting the Goddess Xuange as well, and she was indeed very beautiful…
Oh, the albums Zhu Minglang saw were official ones, the kind used by common folk to dispel darkness and seek protection.
“Perhaps Lord Song God is just used to it. I rember there are annual poetry events that praise the Goddess Xuange, and nearly half of the poetry and songs that circulate among the people are about her. I’m curious, and it’s just curiosity, nothing else, Lord Song God, is your Xuange God seeking a divine consort?” Master Li Wangshan asked.
“Single, has a preference for cleanliness, shows so warmth towards won, but is utterly indifferent towards n.” Lord Song God, perhaps drunk, was very forthcoming about various details regarding the Xuange God, including so subtly sarcastic comnts.
Lord Song God.
What a true man!
Zhu Minglang began to admire this Lord God—the vast majority of god’s descendants usually avoid discussing their gods, or if they do ntion them, it’s only in mindless flattery.
Lord Song God really dared to say anything; implying the Goddess Xuange was sowhat neurotic and couldn’t stand minor things.
“After all, she’s an all-knowing goddess, it’s normal for her to have a strong desire for control,” said Master Li Wangshan.
