Like a dream.
Upon waking up, Lu Chenzhou was drenched in sweat.
He looked towards the Martial Arts Tree.
[Canghai Dragon Control Technique: First Layer (1%)]
"This is an Eighth Rank Combat Technique. Canglang Jun told , don’t be like her, insist on my own Dao. As for this Spear Skill, I only need to refer to it. My main focus should still be on ’Martial God Spear’."
The recognition from his predecessor made Lu Chenzhou very happy.
Qiang Erniang’s voice was also excited.
"I didn’t expect you to gain the master’s inheritance so quickly. It seems my choice was correct."
Originally, she was worried that she did not hold onto the Lifebound Spiritual Weapon, which might not satisfy the residual will of the master.
Now, she was relieved.
Qiang Erniang said, "To control the Heaven-reaching Spirit Weapon, you need at least Sixth Realm cultivation. You must work hard on your cultivation. You are too weak now, if you encounter a life and death crisis, I will intervene. You can be considered as my master’s successor."
"Thank you, Senior."
"Even if it’s the Seventh Realm, with my assistance, unless the enemy is very strong, we should be able to escape. Of course, don’t rely too much on , lest you hinder your own cultivation."
Protecting Dao Spirit Weapons are like this.
"Damn, she got ahead of again."
The Fox Woman looked eagerly at Lu Chenzhou.
"Sorry, Lady Xuanqiu."
Lu Chenzhou helplessly cupped his fists.
He could see that the Fox Woman genuinely wanted to follow him, but they truly weren’t suitable as he didn’t excel in Whip Technique.
Mr. Turtle, seeing the Fox Woman’s resentful look, transmitted: "How about this, if the junior brother can practice ’Mountain Moving Scripture’ to the Second Layer within ten years or advance to the Sixth Realm, I will personally give him another chance to choose a Spiritual Weapon. Whether he can take him down then depends on you."
Generally, according to the sect’s rule, the second choice of Heaven-reaching Spirit Weapon requires Heavenly Realm cultivation. The Fox Woman’s face broke into a radiant smile.
She imdiately transmitted to Lu Chenzhou.
"Lu Gongzi, cultivate well. Your senior brother said that if you can master ’Mountain Moving Scripture’ within ten years, he will give you another Heaven-reaching Spirit Weapon. Rember to choose !"
Lu Chenzhou was stunned, then he laughed and said:
"Thank you, Senior."
The more Heaven-reaching Spirit Weapons, the better.
Moreover, as far as he knew, the ’Shooting Willow Whip’ excelled in control, and actually complented his abilities.
After all, Spiritual Weapons don’t need to be controlled to exert so power, nor do they require him to practice Whip Technique.
The Fox Woman and the Tiger-headed man left.
Before leaving, Mr. Turtle said:
"Erniang, the junior brother is entrusted to you."
"With the spear, there is life."
...
Inside Wanxiang Dao.
"Junior brother, you’ve finally co out. Your rank on the Heavenly Person List has fallen, from 888 down to 887..."
Lin Xia saw Lu Chenzhou and ca up to him.
"My projection was defeated?"
Lu Chenzhou looked at the Heavenly Person List; indeed, he had moved back by one rank. The one who defeated him was a newly advanced End Realm Grandmaster, said to be a peerless genius from sixty years ago.
He laughed, "I didn’t expect my projection to last a year. No worries, this ti I’m planning to aim for the top 600."
"Top 600? Prospective Heavenly King?"
Lin Xia raised her eyebrows, her expression changing in shock.
"Could it be, junior brother, you’ve broken through again?" She was only an End Realm Master and couldn’t discern Lu Chenzhou’s true realm.
"Hehe, just recently advanced to End Realm Grandmaster."
"Let calculate; it’s been just over five years, right? So, you being in your fifties can advance to the Heavenly King Realm faster than even the Dragon King; you’re going to break records, junior brother!"
Lin Xia was overwheld with excitent.
Pounding both her fists on Lu Chenzhou’s arms.
She was witnessing history!
"By the way, where is senior brother?"
Lu Chenzhou expanded his Telekinesis.
The situation in Wanxiang Dao ca into his mind.
"Recently, the Eye of Truth has been active frequently; Wang Xian led a team to attack the strongholds. These guys are like wildfires that can’t be extinguished, and Martial Prison can’t hold them..."
Lin Xia was troubled.
"The Eye of Truth, do you feel it’s founded by the Witch? Has the official disclosed the real status to the public?"
Lu Chenzhou dealt frequently with the Witch.
This entity liked to keep "truth" handy.
Lin Xia sighed, "We’ve long ntioned it, countless promotional pamphlets have been distributed only for the grassroots to criticize us, claiming we’ve deprived them of extraordinary power, they’re not free, not democratic... Explain to them a thousand tis, yet they don’t trust the officials. We can’t all kill them, as it spans too widely across various walks of life, so Martial Artists have changed paths."
Lu Chenzhou frowned, "How could this be?"
"It’s simple, becoming a Truth Mage just requires ditation and deconstructing spell formations to reach certain standards, which allows one to beco a transcendent akin to a Martial Artist. Compared to enduring harsh winters and blazing sumrs with uncertain results in Martial Arts, this path indeed progresses quickly in the early stages."
"Giving and taking; surely, there are side effects, right?"
"Certainly, but so far, we haven’t discovered any, nor have any clear signs of cultist-like aberrations appeared, so the public doesn’t view it negatively. So even foolishly think ’Witch’ shouldn’t be equated with other Evil Gods, they believe ’Witch’ is a communicable, mild deity..." Lin Xia smiled wryly.
Lu Chenzhou attentively listened to his senior sister’s account.
Lu Chenzhou’s expression tightened.
Compared to the Holy Master, what he least wanted to face was this kind of Evil God adept at disguise and observing people’s hearts.
It is undeniable that so of the lower-inco populace can easily have their views swayed, led by the nose.
Especially in a world with superhuman powers.
In front of tangible benefits, many people, even knowing there might be side effects, will still choose to accept them.
Moreover, the Eye of Truth does not require its mbers to commit evil acts or proselytize, only to cultivate silently, making mbers feel they are not wrong, even feeling righteous.
As the upper echelons, as Heavenly Kings with a powerful Dao Heart, they can see this is undoubtedly a witch’s conspiracy, which, in the long run, is detrintal to civilization.
But the lower populace is more focused on the imdiate.
This is the witch’s open plot!
...
Inside an unfinished building in the Lost City.
"Grandmaster Wang, what right do you have to arrest us?"
"Exactly, we haven’t committed cris. We only wish to pursue power. Is that wrong?"
"Every year, how many people die from Demon Ghost disasters? These numbers are never reported officially, but I know that in our community alone, five people died last year! I just want to protect my family rather than helplessly await death!"
Wang Xian floated the Lighting Order above his head, his expression complex as he coldly said, "According to the Wanbang laws, the Eye of Truth is considered an Evil Sect organization. You are paving a path toward the Evil Gods! Don’t you see? It surely won’t work out!"
Liu, the leader of the group, righteously retorted, "Isn’t the law just defined by you? How do you know it won’t work out? You beneficiaries just don’t want to see us rise from the bottom! We don’t deny the council’s efforts and the Martial Artists’ contributions, but you should also know that relying solely on official power cannot protect us. We need to find ways to save ourselves!"
"Exactly! Since becoming a Truth Mage, I’ve killed so many Demon Ghosts. Isn’t that also aiding the war effort? Why can’t we have so room to live? Not everyone can embark on the path of Martial Arts; we are just ordinary people."
A female Truth Mage had flas burning in her palm. She suddenly threw it, and a fireball flew toward Wang Xian.
"Truth Net, grant Arcane!"
Wang Xian extinguished the fireball, and the Grandmaster’s aura swept over, forcibly knocking everyone unconscious except for Liu and several interdiate Truth Mages, who used spells to stay standing.
"Ha, we will not yield. More truth seekers will stand up! For the truth!" Liu shouted, his body blazing fiercely and self-immolating.
Wang Xian said calmly, "Arrest these people, first detain them in the Martial Prison, and let the superiors decide what to do later."
Compared to the evil-doing cultists, the mbers of the Eye of Truth indeed committed fewer wicked deeds. However, they were also misled into a misguided path by the Evil God, posing a challenge in handling them.
Boom——
A mysterious man cloaked in a Blood Robe and exuding the aura of the Fifth Realm descended, with a bull-headed, human-bodied crimson Qi Po avatar behind him, with hoofs stomping down like the sky falling.
Wang Xian’s expression slightly changed. He was already an End Realm Grandmaster and had consud Heavenly Treasure, unlike ordinary people. However, before this strike, he also felt profound despair.
This must be an End Realm Great Grandmaster!
Without hesitation, he unleashed the Vermilion Bird Sword Qi!
The Sword Qi shot like a gleam!
The Blood Robe man was well-prepared; he unhesitatingly threw a blood-colored human skin, that, upon eting the wind, expanded into a bizarre blood-flesh monster.
The giant monster roared, blocking the Sword Qi.
The Blood Robe man seized the opportunity to retreat.
Rumble!
The unfinished building could not withstand the high-level battle and collapsed with a rumble. The Blood Robe man sneered coldly, "The council is indeed brutal, attempting to place so many people in peril!"
"Framing..."
Wang Xian instantly grasped the enemy’s intention.
To put it simply, they wanted to provoke the relationship between the lower class and the council, to undermine the Da Xia Martial Arts from the foundation of social order.
However, his Lighting Order would record the footage during enforcent, so with this, he wasn’t afraid of being frad!
"Rescue first!"
Disregarding the pursuit of the enemy, he rushed into the collapsed building, rapidly shaking off brick after brick.
Seeing the opportune mont, the Blood Robe man transford into a flicker of light and flew away into the distance, sneering coldly inside, "Even with recordings, so what? Many only believe what they want to see, who says recordings can’t be faked?"
As the imnsely powerful ’Heavenly Number Seven’ assassin of the Blood Hidden Tower, it wasn’t his first ti doing this.
Next, the Wanbang Council would have a real headache.
"Such tricks, truly despicable." From the shadow, a figure in Black Armor walked out with an aura full of Evil Qi, appearing behind the Blood Robe man out of thin air.
He lifted his right hand and pressed down suddenly!
Mountain Lord Moon Worship!
A full moon took form, and the Blood Robe man seed to be struck by a moon, his body like a cannonball, crashing into the wilderness.
A sky pit erged, spreading cracks.
Amidst the dust, except for his head, other parts of his body were almost shattered into a puddle of flesh, the True Gang dissipating and escaping.
"Lu... Lu Chenzhou."
It seems this person was even stronger than rumored.
With one punch, his True Gang Robe, Barrier, and Protective Armor... layers of defenses shattered instantly.
Lu Chenzhou made a void capture, picking up the head.
Along with a blood-colored token.
"Blood Hidden Tower, Heavenly Number Seven? Didn’t expect to catch such a big fish, then you can live for a while." he said, extending his broad, fair hand, as strands of Withered and Flourishing Dao Essence flowed, along with Green Lotus Treasure Qi, the assassin’s flesh and blood reford instantly.
Although his acupoints were ruined and cultivation completely lost.
But his life was saved...
His gaze tightened, face filled with fear.
"How can this be?"
