Chapter 256: eting King Zhou
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Minghe walked among the crowd in Zhaoge City, which was more prosperous now than last ti he had been here. This should be attributed to King Zhou, who scored political and military achievents and even revitalized the Shang Dynasty to beco much more powerful than the period when his father Emperor Yi was in governance.
It was ti to et King Zhou since 30 years had passed. The Battle of Gods Investiture started from praying in the temple of Goddess Nvywa. King Zhou was greedy for the beauty of Goddess Nvywa and wrote a poem which angered her. Therefore, she summoned Three Evil Spirits of Xuanyuan Tomb to interrupt the administration of the governnt, so as to trigger resentnts across the nation and encouraged revolts from vassals. This provided an opportunity for Xiqi to build the Zhou Dynasty.
However, the origin of the battle was odd. King Zhou was an emperor, no matter how lecherous he was he should not be so bold as to violate Goddess Nvywa. After all, immortals existed in this era. Moreover, why can’t King Zhou’s subordinates erase what he, a mortal, had written? There must be a reason.
Before King Zhou was born, Minghe had instilled wisdom in him and helped him to retrieve his mories of several previous lives. With the Book of Life and Death in hand, recalling one’s previous life mory was a piece of cake for Minghe. So how could King Zhou not know that the Sage could not be violated and still wrote that poem to offend Goddess Nvywa?
However, if the Shang Dynasty wasn’t in chaos, how could Minghe lead the Clan of Humans, the Clan of Enlightennt and the Western Religious Sect to the trap? So Minghe ca to see King Zhou. The palace was more magnificent than his father Emperor Yi’s. Besides, there were also so rules in its layout, with a tactical formation set in secret. It was built by the Luck of the dynasty and could not be broken in by anyone lower than Da Luo Golden Immortal.
Looking at the palace layout, Minghe shook his head and smiled. King Zhou was very careful. The Human Tribe was the ruler of Heaven and Earth and the most powerful one in Untainted Land. Although the Holy Land of Human Tribe didn’t expand, who would be brave enough to risk offending the whole Human Tribe to kill their emperor, which equates to playing with fire?
Minghe found King Zhou through his Spiritual Thought, who was in cultivating in the hidden room. There was a little strange, with a black flag floating above his head, black smoke around his body, and an odd shadowy figure behind him with three heads and six arms, which was similar to the Ashura body cultivated by the Ashura Tribe in the Blood Sea.
Minghe nodded his head. King Zhou had a good aptitude. Although he was born in the Human Tribe, he succeeded in cultivating the Dharma Laksana of Shura. He was only 32, however, he got the cultivation of Golden Immortal which others might not be able to obtain in their whole lives. But the vital force around him was wholly concealed. Unless the cultivator was higher than that of the tactic demonstrator or King Zhou was willing to expose himself, his weirdness wouldn’t be found.
The tactic demonstrator was Minghe. So in Untainted Land, even the Sages might not see through what Minghe had done to King Zhou. Seeing that King Zhou was so diligent to cultivate himself, Minghe was satisfied. It was worthwhile for him to teach King Zhou, but now it was ti to repay him.
One step forward, Minghe had already been in the hidden room. Watching King Zhou absorbed in cultivation, he quietly called, "Di Xin, wake up!" Although the voice was not loud, it had the power to reach into one’s soul and got into King Zhou’s mind like a clap of thunder. King Zhou woke up suddenly with a panic look on his face.
After figuring out who called him, King Zhou was shocked. He stood up from the cultivation terrace and kneeled down, saying, "Your Ancestor, for I... No, Wu Zhiqi didn’t know of your presence, please excuse for not going out to et you." It’s true that King Zhou was the incarnation of Wu Zhiqi, the Red-Bottod Horse Monkey whose Origin had been taken by Minghe. The appearance of Minghe shocked him.
Minghe walked onto the cultivation terrace, sat down, and said, "Wu Zhiqi, you’re lucky that you’ve incarnated into a royal family and even beca the Human Sovereign enjoying the Luck of the Human Tribe. At the ti when King Zhou was born, I found that he was your incarnation, so I helped you to recall your previous life mory. To my surprise, after a short ti of 32 years, you’re a Golden Immortal. It seems to be working out just fine."
King Zhou knelt and bent down under the cultivation terrace, saying, "I thank your Ancestor for your rcy and cultivating in the incarnation. Your Ancestor inspired when I was born and bestowed the Origin of Shura, the Shura Flag, and the Grade Six Red Lotus of Fire and cultivation exercises on . Otherwise, how could I achieve the Golden Immortal Fruit in re 30 years?"
At that ti, Minghe took the Origin of the Red-Bottod Horse Monkey from Wu Zhiqi, sent him into reincarnation, and gave him so Origin of Shura which didn’t awaken in several of his previous lives. In his present life, it was converted by Minghe. Besides, he also granted him cultivation exercises and Spiritual Treasures. Otherwise, how could he get into this realm in such a short ti?
Looking at the respectful appearance of Wu Zhiqi, Minghe nodded with satisfaction saying, "Very good! You know who gave you everything that you have. Well, you should also know that there is no such thing as a free lunch. My teachings and gifts to you aren’t to pass the ti. I need you to do sothing for . After it’s done, I will definitely reward you."
Hearing that, King Zhou suddenly sweated in fear. His previous life was the Red-Bottod Horse Monkey Wu Zhiqi, who was good at seeking Luck and avoiding calamity. Although he lost his Magic Skills, he knew that Evil Spirits are gradually developed between Heaven and Earth, which was the sign of the arrival of Cultivation Tribulation. Judging by this, the thing Minghe required him to do must not be easy and could not be refused.
King Zhou could only say cautiously, "Whatever your Ancestor asks, I will try my best. But the Cultivation Tribulation of Heaven and Earth had co again. Although I’m the Human Sovereign, my cultivation is low so I’m afraid that I cannot finish the task your Ancestor gives. So... So..." He wanted to refuse Minghe directly but was too timid to speak out.
Minghe said peacefully, "Not bad! Although your previous life’s Magic Skills are gone, your intuition is great. Yes, the Cultivation Tribulation of Heaven and Earth is coming, and what I ask you to do is related to it. But you cannot decide whether you will do it or not, for you have no choice. If you do not listen to , the consequence will be unbearable."
Hearing that, King Zhou was stunned and terrified, saying at once, "Your Ancestor, please don’t get wrong. I only worried my strength is too weak and will let your Ancestor down. If your plan is delayed by , I’m the one to be blad." Hearing Minghe’s words, King Zhou suddenly changed his words and was eager to convince Minghe that the reason for his unwillingness was his concern that he would hamper Minghe.
Noticing King Zhou trembling with fear, Minghe knew that he had misunderstood his aning. King Zhou must have thought that Minghe was threatening him. But who was Minghe? Did he need to threaten a small Golden Immortal? Although he was the Human Sovereign, Minghe could dispose of him and send a puppet to fulfill his plan. Threatening him was a taint on Minghe’s reputation.
Minghe said, "Since you know the Cultivation Tribulation is coming, I’ll tell you that this ti that Shang will perish and Zhou will prosper. That’s the trend of Heaven. Through the replacent of dynasties, Ancestor Hongjun wants to launch the Battle of Gods Investiture for God Deification Ceremony of Heavenly Court. The Clan of Humans, the Clan of Enlightennt, the Tribe of Severity and the Western Religious Sect are all in the tribulation. With the Tribe of Severity assisting your Shang Dynasty, what do you think the others will do?"
Hearing that, King Zhou was frightened with cold sweat running down his face. The people of the Shang Dynasty believed in the Tribe of Severity, most disciples worked as officials in the court and even the Grand Preceptor, Wen Zhong was one of them. Thus the rest of the clans could not take part in it. However, since Shang would perish and Zhou would prosper, the three religions would probably assist Zhou together. Although the Tribe of Severity was powerful, it was hardly possible for one Sage and one religion to win again four Sages and three sects.
Minghe continued, "If Western Zhou wants to develop, the Shang Dynasty has to be in a ss first. Although you are not so proficient in governing a country, under your administration the Shang Dynasty is sohow in a stable and smooth situation. If the country is in order, how could the Battle of Gods Investiture start? Guess what will the Sages do?"
