Chapter 550: 0354 Ancestor of All Mountain Lords (4k)_2

"...I don’t even have a girlfriend."

[Go find one! Practicing martial arts every day without a daoist partner will leave you lonely! Shangguan Xue is pretty good... As for Shangguan Xian, forget it, you can’t match her for now.]

"Don’t talk nonsense. Both of them are my seniors, they could be my... great-grandmothers!"

[What’s wrong? Are you planning to find an ordinary Martial Artist like your senior sister? Don’t waste your future bloodline.]

"Let’s not argue about this. If you teach me, I promise not to interfere with the path of my future descendants. Deal?"

The Cauldron Sword remained silent, contemplating:

[There are three major failures in filial piety, and having no descendants is the greatest. Your parents’ lifespans are at most two Jiazi. Don’t let them down.]

"You’ve understood the ways of the Human World so well, and you still claim to be just a sword?"

The Cauldron Sword flew out, landing on Tiger Bro’s forehead. As the sword spirit of a top-tier Divine Weapon in this world, it possessed great abilities.

Before long, Tiger Bro received enlightenment, and his gaze became clear: "Howl!"

[This cultivation method, the "Winged Tiger Stargazing Technique," requires absorbing the essence of the moon and star power to advance. The effects are best during a full moon.]

"What if there is no moon or stars?"

[...How could there be no sun, moon, or stars in the sky? You can cultivate during the day too.]

"What other good cultivation methods do you know? Tell me all at once so I don’t bother you repeatedly."

[Hmph, as long as you know! I have 3,600 Sword Dao cultivation methods, akin to a mobile Scripture Pavilion of sword techniques. Do you want to learn? You’ve just stepped into the level of Dao. If you swear an oath by the Dao and train with me, I will teach you!]

Lu Chenzhou thought to himself, swearing an oath by the Dao is not something to be done lightly.

Before seeking Dao, swearing any oath was no big deal, as there was no divine retribution.

After seeking Dao, the Dao is no joking matter.

If you swear by the Dao and then violate it, at best, your cultivation will regress and your Dao Heart will be damaged. At worst, your Dao Heart will collapse, and you’ll be ruined.

Learning the "Mountain Lord Inquiry Fist," the first principle taught by his master was never to swear by the Dao.

Nobody should make oaths; unforeseen circumstances can always occur.

"You should sleep; I’m going to work on opening my acupoints."

[Alright~]

...

The Li Family estate.

"Big brother, this Lu Chenzhou has been living in the Yun Meng Base City for a month. Isn’t this strange?"

A beautiful woman with willow-like eyebrows, a fair complexion, and an oval face frowned slightly.

Her name is Li Minglan, the second-in-command of the Li Family, a Martial Arts Master of the End Realm, the same age as Li Minghuang.

Li Minghuang practiced Pile Skill and, after contemplating for a moment, said:

"Such a genius, not staying in Su City and coming to this small city of Yun Meng, is likely sent by higher-ups."

"I also feel that this person might be the Lamp Master."

"Second sister, have our third sister go talk to Lu Chenzhou and make friends. Understood?"

"Understood."

Inside the house, Li Minghuang’s expression was uncertain.

"Could our plan have been discovered?"

Within Da Xia, undercurrents were surging, with a trend of forming two factions.

The major faction centered around the Eternal Immortal and the Absolute Peaks, adherents to death, coexisting with the Human World.

The faction Li Minghuang stood with, led by veterans like Wei Jing, secretly advocated leaving this world and seeking another path.

The Evil God wanting to invade the Three Thousand Worlds would still take some time; safe places to hide and grow stronger could be found.

The evacuation faction also included many Martial Arts geniuses and social elites who did not wish to be trapped in the Human World.

Not just in Da Xia; in the West and Po Suo, there were also evacuation factions secretly forming alliances and searching for ways to escape.

Using small world transmission arrays to travel to other parallel dimensions of the Three Thousand Worlds was just one method.

Western tech giants were attempting to develop interstellar technology, using spacecraft to leave this planet and find a new home in distant deep space.

No matter how strong the Evil God, it couldn’t possibly infect this entire universe, right?

...

South Sea, a certain nameless island.

On the island was a wooden hut. A middle-aged man with white hair and beard had eyes as deep as if he were comprehending the profound truths of the universe.

Wei Jing, the junior brother of the South Mountain Heavenly Sword, was a top-level Heavenly King, the vice principal of Nanshan Martial Arts University, and the Void Control Department’s head.

Suddenly, a figure came stepping across the sea. The figure had a youthful face and white hair—it was Grandmaster Qin Hui.

"Student greets the teacher."

"You graduated long ago; you should refer to my title. I’m no longer your master."

"Head Wei, how long until the transmission array is repaired?"

"It’s hard to say. He, Dong, and Heavenly King Cai are researching it under the pretense of closed-door training. But it’s an artifact of a Qi Refiner, so it would take at least ten to twenty years."

"Is this Lamp Master plan targeting us?"

"Yes, so stay careful, or I can’t protect you. I heard you’ve been secretly acquiring wealth through some black gloves?"

"To travel to other worlds, resources are necessary..."

"Be careful, and cut off what needs to be cut off."

"I heard from my student that Lu Chenzhou has been staying in his Yun Meng City for a while. This person must be the Lamp Master."

"If he doesn’t interfere with our plan, don’t bother him. It’s hard for humanity to gain a peerless genius. After we leave, we should leave some hope for the Human World. At least at the world’s end, people can leave with some hope. Sigh, I’ve been fighting the Evil God and Void Things for half my life. I know better than anyone that we have no hope..."

...

It’s now November.

Above Yun Meng Lake, splendid rainbows and ethereal immortal Qi lingered.

At Lu Chenzhou’s residence in the Base City.

"Brother Lu, I bid you farewell."

Li Mingju smiled, stroking Tiger Bro’s forehead.

She was the third sister of the Li Family, a thirty-year-old Martial Arts Master, and fairly talented.

"Howl."

Tiger Bro pawed her hand away, hiding behind Lu Chenzhou.

"I won’t see you off. Safe travels, Miss Li."

Lu Chenzhou turned and returned to his dwelling, continuing with Pile Skill, a thoughtful look on his face.

In his mind, the ancient sword atop Tiger Tai Sui’s head trembled slightly.

"Under the friendly exterior of this third sister of the Li Family, there’s a very obscure enmity towards me..."

With 300 spiritual power and having touched the Dao, his Tai Sui Technique just a step away from the Sixth Layer, the "Tai Sui Main Evil" sense detected danger more keenly than ever. Yet, he often encountered such hostility. His top-tier gear drew envy, naturally leading to animosity.

Unless faced with overt killing intent, Lu Chenzhou wouldn’t bother.

Everyone harbors some hidden malice; you can’t kill everyone.

Shaking his head, he resumed his cultivation.

"I’ll return to Su City tomorrow. Yun Meng City, as a frontier city, is too chaotic for a breakthrough."

Midnight.

As the last acupoint in his left leg opened, 270 illusory stars appeared on Lu Chenzhou’s body, spreading across his arms and legs.

"The acupoints are completed!"

Lu Chenzhou exhaled like thunder, his sweat evaporating like colorful clouds, his momentum rising further. According to earlier estimates, he thought he would fully open his acupoints by January next year, but his Divine Seed advancement allowed him to open five acupoints a month, bringing perfection in November. With such progress, he wasn’t worried about opening acupoints post-master level.

"I’ll give Master a big surprise when he exits closed-door training!"

In his Qi Sea, 4,000 streams of Golden Flame Pure Yang Qi intertwined.

"True Qi like a sea, to the limit!"

With acupoint resonance, his True Qi’s quality and recovery speed far surpassed before.

Advancing to Breakthrough Third, he completed the four foundational aspects: Qi-Blood, True Qi, Acupoints, and Fist Theory.

In fact, his Fist Theory was already sufficient to advance to Grandmaster!

The fifth aspect, mastering any Mid-grade Martial Skill, was also overachieved.

After taking a bath, Lu Chenzhou slept early.

On the balcony, Tiger Bro raised its head to the moon, resembling the Mountain Lord Moon Worship.

It absorbed the moon and star power to temper its body, having persisted for half a month.

Though progress was minimal, Tiger Bro enjoyed the sensation of growing stronger.

It had personally witnessed Lu Chenzhou’s meteoric rise through hard work.

It believed firmly, the more you strive, the luckier you get!

This was the chicken soup Lu Chenzhou instilled in Tiger Bro.

...

Night.

In Yun Meng Lake, shadowy figures emerged.

Serpent-bodied demons flickered in the water.

Leading them were two serpent figures with auras vast as a sea and shrouded in demonic mist.

One was three zhang tall, possessing eight arms, with a thick tail coiled around a two-zhang-long giant axe.

The other wore indigo heavy armor, had six arms, wielded swords, spears, swords, halberds, and two giant shields. They were in the Third Realm and appeared younger.

The younger demon exuded an unruly aura, with five Heaven-Reaching God Patterns on its forehead, shimmering continuously, indicating its extraordinary nature.

The Eight-Armed Demon King rumbled:

"I’ll hold off the Grandmasters in the city, and you go and kill that genius. This is the trial from the Demon King for you."

"Uncle, is this Lu Chenzhou really that formidable?"

"He once defeated three from the Third Realm. Now, it’s uncertain if he has broken through. Just be cautious."

"Tsk, tsk, I want to see this for myself. Previously, a guy named Ye Zhiqiu boasted about slaying demons, but I smashed him with one blow, scattering his soul."
