Chapter 932: Change of Temper

Patriarch of Law Enforcement had only cultivated for a short period of time, barely a year. For senior warriors like Jiang Tianshun, one year was nothing. At their age, they might get nowhere in 10 years of cultivation, let alone cultivating for barely a year.

Therefore, they were shocked that Patriarch of Law Enforcement had made a breakthrough with one in-depth cultivation. The older the warrior was, the more difficult a breakthrough would be. At the Earth Immortal Realm, one step forward would be ridden with hardship.

The key to breakthrough the Human Sovereign Realm was Profound Meaning. The richness of Xuan Energy and the strength of Soul Pond or the body would not be significant. No breakthrough could be achieved without progress in Profound Meaning.

To reach the Earth Immortal Realm, a warrior must learn one eight rank Profound Meaning or three seventh rank Profound Meaning. To reach the Semi-God Realm would be more daunting. An eighth rank Profound Meaning would not be useful at this stage. A warrior would have to learn a ninth rank Profound Meaning. Or else, a warrior would never move up from the Earth Immortal Realm.

There were many varieties of ninth rank Profound Meanings. There were some that belonged to the wind category. However, to learn a ninth rank Profound Meaning was borderline impossible. That was why there were only a few Semi-God Realm warriors in the history of the Great Land. That was also why every time a Semi-God Realm warrior came along, he would lead the human race into ten thousand years of prosperity and best the four alien races at the same time.

The Patriarch of Law Enforcement was talented. Otherwise, he would not be at such a position if he was not. He reached the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm years ago, but he was unable to finish the final step. Many had thought that he might spend the rest of his life at the Earth Immortal Realm.

Surprisingly, in over half a year, the Patriarch of Law Enforcement had finished the final step. It was the most important step that could give him a sudden rise in life.

Xing Mu was the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall for over a thousand years, and he had reached the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm one thousand years ago. However, he was unable to reach the final stage until his death. If it were not for the fact that the Profound Meaning he learned was powerful in destruction, he would not have remained in the Grand Master’s position for this long.

“Congratulations, Patriarch of Law Enforcement!”

“Congratulations!”

“Ha, ha, ha, another Semi-God Realm warrior. This is delightful for the whole human race. Send a message to the Great Land to congratulate Patriarch of Law Enforcement!”

The hall was bursting with happiness. All the Earth Immortal Realm warriors were both delighted and envious. Those that were scared by the Patriarch’s scolding had become joyful. No matter how the Patriarch of Law Enforcement condemned them, they would remain in a happy state in this case. At least… they believed the human race had secured a win for the future.

“What is there to tell?”

Patriarch of Law Enforcement had kept a straight face. But with the crowd’s delightful words, he could not keep the long face. He waved his hand and said, “Off you go and take care of the Feather Land of the West. If you cannot achieve anything before the Grand Master wakes up, I will make sure that you will be punished.”

“Okay!”

“Patriarch of Law Enforcement, do not worry. We will not just wipe out the Feather Race, but also the Barbarian Race and the Voodoo Race. We will make sure that we lay a foundation for the prosperity of the human race throughout eternity, and eliminate the threats to the human race once and for all.”

“Let’s go, now. Gather the armies and we will break into the Feather Land of the West.”

The patriarchs left, leaving the hall full of noise and clamor. Patriarch of Law Enforcement shook his head. Lu Li was laying on his bed. Patriarch of Law Enforcement looked at Lu Li with guilt and said, “I feel sorry for you. Now that I have finished my cultivation, you don’t have to worry about anything now. I will take care of them.”

Jiang Qiling, Bai Xiashuang, and Bai Qiuxue bowed to Patriarch of Law Enforcement to congratulate him. He waved his hand and replied, “Don’t congratulate me. I am so old now and can only achieve this much to this day. If it were not for Lu Li, none of us could still be here. I, the great-grandpa, have to be protected by my great-grandson. I am sorry, and I’m ashamed!”

Both Jiang Qiling and Bai Qiuxue were surprised to hear what Patriarch of Law Enforcement had said. Bai Xiashuang was the only one who could not read between the lines. She was so happy to hear that Patriarch of Law Enforcement praised her husband.

“Great-grandpa? Great-grandson?”

Jiang Qiling was astonished. Patriarch of Law Enforcement had been known for his strictness. When Lu Zhengyang first met him, Patriarch of Law Enforcement turned Lu Zhengyang down. When they did meet, Patriarch of Law Enforcement looked at Lu Zhengyang like a stranger. Patriarch of Law Enforcement did not even worry when Lu Zhengyang was poisoned and left the latter in a frozen state for years. Without the combined effort of Lu Renhuang and Lu Li, Lu Zhengyang might have never seen the light again.

Patriarch of Law Enforcement had rebuilt his soul. He forgot about the past and severed his bonds with the Lu Family. He believed that the only way to become an immortal was to cut off all of his familial bonds and dismiss the past from his memory.

“Did his temper change because of his breakthrough?”

Jiang Qiling wondered. She looked up to the Patriarch of Law Enforcement who seemed to be able to read her thoughts. He explained with a smile, “You are wrong. I can only make the breakthrough because now I understand love. If I continued my old ways of being heartless, I would never make the breakthrough in this lifetime. I finally understand… without love, humans are no longer humans. If so, what is there to achieve?”

Jiang Qiling and Bai Qiuxue nodded in agreement. Smiles blossomed on their faces. They were happy for Patriarch of Law Enforcement’s breakthrough and his change of heart. They had just shed tears, but their smiles added to their beautiful radiance.

“Great-grandpa!”

Jiang Qiling said, “I suppose my husband will be more than happy to see the change in you.”

“Ha, ha!”

Patriarch of Law Enforcement smiled again. He had smiled more times today than he did in his entire lifetime. He threw another glance at Lu Li, with love and nodded. “Take good care of him. He had gone through a lot to hold the world up for the human race. Let him rest and cultivate from this day forward. I will take care of the rest.”

…

Patriarch of Law Enforcement took over the Demon-slaying Hall and allocated an army to the Feather Land of the West. They were making greater signs of progress over there. When Lu Zhengyang learned that the Patriarch of Law Enforcement had made a breakthrough, he was ravished with joy. This time, the human race had nothing to worry about.

Lu Li woke up in half a month. This time, he did lose a little life energy. Maybe it was because it was the second time that he consumed the Slayer’s blood, or that drop of blood had lost some of its energy, or maybe its because of the silver dragon Bloodline. Either way, he was better this time.

Lu Li was delighted to hear about Patriarch of Law Enforcement’s breakthrough, and even more so when he learned Patriarch of Law Enforcement’s change of temper.

Lu Li asked the Patriarch of Law Enforcement and the other patriarchs that he wanted to give up the position of Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall. He never valued powers and influences. What he held significantly were his own abilities. As long as he was still capable, he would still be the most powerful warrior in the world, and nobody could disobey him.

Patriarch of Law Enforcement did not agree because Lu Li was appointed as the Grand Master by the Emperor of Heaven Reverse. How could the Patriarch of Law Enforcement take Lu Li’s place? He said something else that changed Lu Li’s mind.

Patriarch of Law Enforcement stated that nothing would change even if Lu Li stayed as the Grand Master. Patriarch of Law Enforcement was the one who was actually in charge in the past and later, it was Lu Zhengyang. What was more, even if Lu Li was not the Grand Master, when something grave happened, he would still have to solve the problem.

Lu Li was convinced so he let his proposal go. Whether he was the Grand Master or not, when the warriors came from the nine universes, he would have to step up.

Lu Li thought about the warriors of the nine universes. He then said, “Do not go after the Barbarian Race or the Voodoo Race for now. Rest for a couple of years and build up strength. Let more human warriors develop.”

The Barbarian Race and the Voodoo Race were nothing. The most pressing matter at hand for the Heaven Reverse Universe was to deal with the warriors of the nine universes once they arrived after several years. If they could survive this test, then Lu Li believed that he could wipe out the Barbarian Race and the Voodoo Race at any time.
