chapter-1229
After blowing Mingshi Yin and Qiong Qi aside, Lu Wu suddenly realized its transgression. It hurriedly lifted its paw to protect Mingshi Yin and Qiong Qi. Then, it said, “I’m… sorry…”
Qin Renyue and the 49 Swordsmen. “…”
‘The majestic and arrogant beast emperor, Lu Wu, actually lowered its head and apologized to its junior?’
Qin Renyue was a Venerable Master, after all. After so many years, not only was he powerful, but he was knowledgeable and experienced as well. Based on his understanding of beast emperors, they had a strong sense of superiority. Even if they were wrong, they would never admit it. Hence, he could not help but look at Mingshi Yin riding on Qiong Qi’s back, whom Lu Wu had apologized to, curiously. He sensed the Mingshi Yin’s aura was balanced and stable. Indeed, the person in front of him was a great talent and would have no problem passing two Birth Trials. However, he knew that Lu Zhou was the one Lu Wu was afraid of.
Qin Renyue was also surprised by the sudden appearance of the black figure who displayed the power of the Dao; clearly, he was also a Venerable Master. However, as soon as that green light landed on the black figure, the black figure had left in a hurry. He found the entire thing baffling.Meanwhile, Lu Zhou had as many thoughts as Qin Renyue. He had fought for such a long time; he could not believe he had forgotten about the Reduction Card! Was the Reduction Card not the natural enemy of Venerable Masters? Venerable Masters were most afraid of losing Birth Charts, and the Reduction Card could directly remove a Birth Chart from an astrolabe! It was a super weapon!
Lu Zhou took a look at the system interface and checked the price of the Reduction Card. It was priced at 20,000 merit points. This meant that the price had increased after he had bought one earlier. The normal effect of the card was good enough, but if he synthesized an enhanced version, it would be a Venerable Master’s nightmare.
The enhanced Reduction Card could permanently remove one of the target’s Birth Charts. An advanced enhanced Reduction Card could permanently remove five of the target’s Birth Charts; moreover, there was a chance it would remove the Birth Chart with the most powerful life heart.
Then, Lu Zhou noticed a note below the Reduction Card that read: To use against Saints or those who are stronger, you’ll need to upgrade the system.
Lu Zhou did not pay much attention to this; it could be left for the future. Then, he checked his merit points.
Merit points: 198,760.
Lu Zhou did not hesitate and decisively bought three Reduction Cards and one Synthesis Card. They cost him more than 80,000 merit points, and he found the cost acceptable. After all, the card was like the natural enemy of Venerable Masters.…
At the same time, the black figure carried Ye Zheng and flew into the flying chariot. His expression was very unsightly at this moment. He tore off the black cloth covering his face and looked at the distant sky before he looked at his hands. They were trembling and wet from sweat.
Earlier, for 20 seconds, he felt like he had fallen to hell. It was as though a pair of invisible hands were digging into his heart. He truly felt like he had just escaped a huge disaster.
He stood on the deck and stared at the dark sky for a long time, breathing deeply and slowly regaining his composure.
“You’ve recovered?” He turned around with his hands on his back to look at Ye Zheng who was sitting on the deck. “To think a dignified Venerable Master fell to such a state…”
Ye Zheng’s eyes were lifeless as he stared ahead as though he was lost in his thoughts. After a moment, he recollected his thoughts and tidied up his hair and clothes. Then, he rose to his feet and moved to stand by the black figure’s side. “Thank you.”
“I’ve long said that Yannan’s Blessed Land isn’t a match for Qin Renyue,” the black figure said.
“I’ve calculated everything, but I didn’t consider the possibility that he had found a helper…” Ye Zheng replied.
“Who’s that person?”
Ye Zheng recalled Ye Wusheng’s words and everything that happened earlier before he said, “He’s an expert from the golden lotus domain.”
“Golden lotus domain? Did the Free Men of the Ye clan report to the clan?”
“There aren’t many of them left. Back then, the Ye clan sent quite a few Free Men to the other domains. After 1,000 years, only a few of them are left. In the end, I ended the Free Men’s mission,” Ye Zheng replied.
The black figure said with a solemn expression, “That person is able to tame Lu Wu and defeat you. He’s definitely stronger than a Venerable Master…”
“You’re saying he has 19 or 20 Birth Charts?” Ye Zheng asked.
“It’s just speculation for now. We have too little information now. It’s possible he just has many treasures on him. Moreover, perhaps, you wouldn’t have lost to him if it weren’t for the Fire Phoenix.”
Ye Zheng’s expression turned gloomy immediately when the Fire Phoenix was mentioned. The 36 Confucian scholars were dead and the Big Dipper Flag Formation was destroyed; how was he going to explain this to the Saints when he returned? He sighed inwardly.
“You’re a Venerable Master so I won’t say much. I’ll send you back to Yannan within three days,” the black figure said.
Ye Zheng no longer spoke.
…
After synthesizing an enhanced Reduction Card, Lu Zhou was brimming with confidence. He surveyed the area affected by the Fire Phoenix.
Everything was silent. Even the fierce beasts did not dare to approach this area. Now that the disaster was over, the black fog continued to swirl in the air, accompanied by the sound of wind whistling in the air.
Finally, Lu Zhou asked, “Do you know who saved Ye Zheng?”
Qin Renyue shook his head. “He concealed his aura so I couldn’t tell…”
“There are only four Venerable Masters in the green lotus domain. Apart from you and Ye Zheng, there’s Tuoba Sicheng and Fan Zhong. Is there anyone else?” Mingshi Yin asked.
Qin Renyue replied, “Of course. However, that person’s movement technique is strange and unusual. His power of the Dao seemed to be some slowing technique so it shouldn’t be Tuoba Sicheng or Fan Zhong.”
Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow, “So there’s a fifth Venerable Master?”
“It could be a Venerable Master who lives in seclusion in the green lotus domain or the Unknown Land. However, his astrolabe seemed as dark as the sky. It’s similar to those in the green lotus domain but different as well…”
Mingshi Yin asked, “What exactly is the power of the Dao?”
Qin Renyue looked at Mingshi Yin and said, “Young man, don’t aim too high for now. Work hard. The power of the Dao is still far from your reach…”
Mingshi Yin was about to speak, but Lu Wu interjected in a low voice, “It’s best… you… answer him…”
Qin Renyue was briefly stunned. Then, he glanced at Lu Zhou from the corners of his eyes and saw Lu Zhou looking at him. Hence, he said seriously, “The Dao nurtures all things; the Dao makes the sun and moon orbit; the Dao changes the seasons; the Dao is the foundation of heaven and earth. It’s omnipresent. Humans are defying the heavens when they cultivate, constantly breaking the heaven and earth shackles…”
“For example, this sword…” Qin Renyue raised two fingers. The sword in Yuan Lang’s flew out and hovered next to him. “If I ignore it, it’ll fall to the ground. It has to abide by the rule of the Dao.”
Swoosh!
The sword fell and stabbed into the ground.
“When I control it with energy, it defies the original rules…”
Qin Renyue controlled the sword with two fingers.
Swoosh!
The sword dislodged itself and flew up into the air again.
“Cultivators who aren’t Venerable Masters are constantly breaking the shackles. On the other hand, Venerable Masters can make use of the shackles. When the Dao is at its peak, the power it generates is the power of the Dao,” Qin Renyue said.
Mingshi Yin cupped his fists together. “Thank you for your explanation. May I ask how many kinds of powers of the Dao are there?”
Qin Renyue replied, “There are many. You can consider the Dao to be the law. The ancient Saints believe that the most powerful law is time itself…”
