Chapter 1011: Chapter 163: The Genius Who Masters Anything Instantly

Hiss—

From the mouth of the Red Robe Summoning Emperor came a sharp intake of breath.

The face of the Red Robe Summoning Emperor, who would remain unchanged even in the face of a collapsing Tai Mountain, dramatically altered at that moment.

His gaze towards Ru Mo was enigmatic and unpredictable.

Previously, when the Tenth Main Summoner praised Ru Mo’s talent, the Red Robe Summoning Emperor had some doubts.

A five-year-old child, no matter how astounding their talent may be, could not possibly understand the fusion magic of two Magic Elements all at once.

However, Ru Mo demanded his respect.

The intermingled purple and white magic light couldn’t fully condense into Thunder God Break, but being able to form such a grand magic light upon one look spoke volumes for the child’s limitless potential.

The subsequent actions of the Red Robe Summoning Emperor stunned everyone present in the Summoning Court.

He picked up the boy warmly, laughing heartily.

"From today onwards, you shall bear my surname and be called Ji Ru Mo."

Although the Red Robe Summoning Emperor had other adopted sons and daughters before bestowing the surname upon Ji Ru Mo, only Ji Ru Mo alone received such an honor.

His actions unequivocally confirmed Ji Ru Mo’s status in Penglai, being second to none except one.

During that period, the Red Robe Summoning Emperor was also troubled by the Penglai Royal Family succession issue.

After the incident with the Taiyuan Crown Prince, Penglai implemented a separation of church and state.

The Summoning Court always sought to covertly control the Penglai Royal Family, yet could not act too brazenly.

Coincidentally, at that time, the only Prince of the Penglai Royal Family unfortunately passed away. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

The Penglai Royal Family was left without any distinguished lineage to inherit the throne, so the Red Robe Summoning Emperor secretly swapped the identities of a newborn and announced publicly that the baby was of the Penglai Royal Family lineage, blessed by a divine beast at birth, and naturally became the successor to the Penglai throne.

The boy thus became the current Penglai Princess Ji Ru Mo.

Ji Ru Mo’s talent was extraordinary, his learning ability astonishing. Apart from being unable to summon Demon Beasts, he mastered almost every form of magic.

The Seventh Summoner had never seen anyone learn magic as swiftly as the Penglai King, similar to the move he used to slay the Anemone King at sea, which was actually the Red Robe Summoning Emperor’s signature technique, Thunder God Break.

Only a few close to the Red Robe Summoning Emperor were aware that nowadays, even he held some reservations towards Ji Ru Mo.

Although Ji Ru Mo was elevated single-handedly by the Summoning Emperor, the two were not close.

Possibly due to Ji Ru Mo living on Ice Island’s Penglai Pavilion since childhood, his temperament had been alarmingly cold ever since.

The Summoning Emperor expanded the Summoning Court’s forces, recruiting extensively, frequently involving himself in continental affairs in recent years.

Especially over these years, Ji Ru Mo had clashed multiple times with the Summoning Emperor due to differing political views.

Not even the Red Robe Summoning Emperor himself might have foreseen that an unintended action years ago would result in Penglai’s current severe polarization.

It was believed that this time, when the Red Robe Summoning Emperor revisited the past, the Penglai King would compromise like before. Yet, this time, the Penglai King did not yield.

Despite being reprimanded, he still refused to hand over the Netherworld Ghost Key.

"The calamity between the Human Clan and Eight Desolate Beast Clan nearly destroyed Wuji Continent. This king shall never let Wuji Continent fall into chaos again," declared the Penglai King, refusing decisively.

"Ji Ru Mo, do you think this emperor can’t do anything about you?" The Red Robe Summoning Emperor’s surroundings flickered with a terrifying murderous intent, his purple and white magic power blazing like fire.

Ji Ru Mo’s expression beneath his jade-like face was undisclosed, but around him too arose a purple and white magic power.

Judging by scale, the two magic powers were remarkably matched.

When the two magic powers collided, the ground quickly cracked open, and the walls shook as if about to collapse at any moment.

The Seventh Summoner suffered the most, caught between the two fierce figures, unable to escape, forced to his knees trembling.

He felt breathless, as if his body was crushed between two walls due to the collision of the two magic powers.

"Summoning Emperor... Penglai King... Spare me..."

The Red Robe Summoning Emperor didn’t expect Ji Ru Mo’s strength to have improved so swiftly over these years.

Unless he summoned the Summoned Beast directly, confronting head-on...

This young one was still useful for now.

The upcoming Dutian Summit must still involve him; hum, this time, he’ll let it pass for now.

He doesn’t believe that he won’t regain the Netherworld Ghost Key eventually.

"Fine! Your wings have grown strong, eh? Daring to challenge this emperor. Begone, return to your Penglai Pavilion immediately," the Red Robe Summoning Emperor withdrew his magic power.

The Penglai King departed the Summoning Court unhappily, sweeping his sleeves away.

The Red Robe Summoning Emperor glared at the Seventh Summoner, thinking they were all useless.

Regarding the Netherworld Ghost Key incident, he had lost the Second Main Summoner; earlier in the Taiyuan Ruins, yet another, the Third Main Summoner, had died.

Of the Summoning Court’s Thirteen Main Summoners, two were lost in just a few days, leaving the Red Robe Summoning Emperor exasperated.

Having accidentally learned the whereabouts of the Netherworld Ghost Key, he orchestrated meticulously, expecting flawlessness, only to end up with nothing.

"Summoning Emperor, this incident cannot be blamed on your subordinates; blame lies on the Regent King of Great Zhou, that despicable man scheming repeatedly throughout, causing the Second Main Summoner’s death!" The Seventh Summoner, seeing the Summoning Emperor’s intent to blame, hurriedly shifted the accusation onto the "Regent King of Great Zhou."

The Seventh Summoner detailed the events in Penglai Sea over the past few days, mentioning the Abyssal Tentacle Sunflower and the demon beast accompanying the Regent King of Great Zhou.

"You say the Regent King of Zhou has a demon beast that can traverse the Magic Waterfall? Could it be that the Regent King of Zhou is a Summoner too?" The Red Robe Summoning Emperor was somewhat astonished.

The Magic Waterfall is a kind of super Water Magic, with strong defensive capabilities.

Even he would face some difficulty to break through it.

To completely disregard the Magic Waterfall and move freely requires a beast much beyond ordinary.

Moreover, as a Main Summoner of the Summoning Court, the Seventh Summoner had seen tens of thousands of demon beast species; for one he couldn’t identify at a glance surely wouldn’t be simple.

Over the years, aside from recruiting Summoners, the Summoning Court had been acquiring various demon beasts extensively across Wuji Continent via Penglai’s Demon Beast Merchants, searching for new types of demon beasts.

"In my opinion, the Regent King of Zhou isn’t a Summoner. There’s no record in Zhou’s Summoning Institute. That demon beast is likely just a demon pet. Besides crossing Magic Barriers, it doesn’t seem to have any other capabilities." The Seventh Summoner recalled that the Regent King of Zhou didn’t bear any summoning markings nor possessed any summoning tokens.

The Seventh Summoner initially wanted to inform the Red Robe Summoning Emperor about the golden demon beast beside the Regent King of Great Zhou, alongside the pink demon beast.

Though upon considering how this demon beast appeared to bear the Regent King of Great Zhou constantly, it seemed it wouldn’t be any formidable demon beast.
