Chapter 659: 0409 Undercurrents surge, there is a God Cheng Huang (seeking monthly tickets and subscriptions)

Da Xia.

Yu Hang Base City, Qin Family Mansion.

Qin Hui, appearing calm and composed, sat in the Taishi Chair, sipping tea and listening to the report from an old Grandmaster below.

"Family head, the core disciples of the Qin Family, those with middle to top-class root bone and Martial Artist level cultivation, have been evacuated from Yu Hang Base City in batches... However, currently only less than one-tenth of our Qin Family has evacuated, should we really abandon the others, those from the branches?"

"Alas, if it were possible, this old man would not want to abandon them. But this evacuation action involves more people, the movement grows larger, and the risk of exposure increases. Moreover, activating the legendary array requires consuming the Earth Mother’s Element Ore. The more people transmitted, the greater the consumption. Our current savings can only transmit ten thousand people. Just Wei, Cai, Ye, Dong, the four great families alone take up eight thousand slots. The remaining families total two thousand, and allocated to our Qin Family is only two hundred slots."

"Alas..."

"From another perspective, it is also a good thing. Each family brought in this trip is of elite status, and it cannot be denied that the offspring born from the combination of strong and elite have a higher probability of having top-class root bone. With these people’s talents, combined with the unique conditions of the [Mystic Sky Realm], it is bound to give birth to some absolute geniuses capable of suppressing a world.

I wouldn’t be surprised if our Qin Family produced a Lu Chenzhou. When you reach higher levels, you will understand. In a world, in an era, luck is conserved. Those at Absolute Peak leave Xia Realm, partly to avoid war, partly to monopolize a world’s opportunity, thus giving them hope to advance to Eight Realms and Nine Realms.

Let it be, once Hui’er and Minghuang return from the Earth Palace, we will fly away."

During this time, Qin Hui has been perusing ancient texts from the Great Wilderness.

He discovers that powerful Qi Refiners from the Great Wilderness often leave it for a period after reaching the Heavenly Realm, to seek opportunities in the Three Thousand Worlds, to establish themselves as founders.

Gradually, he formulates a theory he believes to be very reasonable about the "Conservation of Luck."

...

Meanwhile.

The old ghost of the Yellow River, one of the eight Heavenly Kings, leads many Heavenly Kings and Grandmaster experts at the entrance of a Primordial Ore small realm, breaking out into fierce battle with the Six-Eared Demon Emperor and the Yellow Wind Demon Emperor lurking there. The demon race army was defeated and after leaving harsh words, quickly withdrew, retreating into the depths of the Million Mountains, claiming they would retake the mine field in the future. The Wanbang Martial Arts Council successfully occupied the small realm entrance, established a military fortification, and has four Heavenly King experts take turns guarding, severing the connection between the outside world and the demon race within the small realm.

Next is dispatching a pioneering team to explore inside.

The discovery of the Primordial Ore is epoch-making, marking a new era for human martial arts civilization.

The selection of pioneering teams by various Daoist lineages is in full swing.

Of course, geniuses like Lu Chenzhou, Zhang Lingmiao, and Hong Tianxiang don’t need selection and directly receive access qualifications.

The absence of the threat from Demon Emperors in the small realm is also a great opportunity for the younger generation to grow.

...

Lu Ming underground palace.

A solitary grave, smoke curls up gently.

Qin Xiao stands atop the grave, patiently waiting.

At an unknown time, the smoke condenses into a human figure, dressed in a large red robe, with half their face a beautiful woman, the other half ugly and menacing.

She is called Red Shang, a peak Ghost King presence.

Compared to demons, ghosts are rarer and more troublesome.

Currently, almost ninety percent of ghosts belong to the Mother Forget Sorrow of the Ghost Mother Forbidden Zone.

Immediately, Qin Xiao prostrates and kneels, respectfully saying:

"Red granny, I have found you a suitable body."

"Is it that human Grandmaster in the distance? No, too weak, I am not satisfied!"

"No no no, he is my friend. The body I found for you is definitely the finest in the human world, with limitless future."

"Speak quickly, granny has limited patience. If it can’t satisfy me, you understand..."

"Red granny, that Lu Chenzhou I told you about has appeared in the Lu Ming underground palace."

Upon hearing the name Lu Chenzhou, Red Shang Ghost King’s face changes slightly then rejoices greatly.

"Good, good, good, he doesn’t take the road to heaven, yet chooses to walk into the doorless hell. Inside this underground palace, he is doomed."

Red Shang Ghost King has been trapped here for too long and has always wanted to leave, thus trying to possess a suitable body through a secret technique, to acquire a human form.

Don’t look at her now as merely a peak Ghost King; at her peak, she was a Sixth Realm Heaven Ghost (Ghost Emperor).

It’s just because of an accident, she was captured by Lu Ming underground palace, becoming an "NPC" inside.

For years, she has been seeking a way out and finally developed a technique for body possession.

Initially, she attempted to possess a Heavenly King expert named [Wang Changming] on the Eighth Layer.

As a result, she was counter-attacked and dissipated, relying on a secret technique for survival, she fell to the peak Ghost King Realm.

Red Shang Ghost King fled all the way to the Third Layer, where she met treasure-hunting Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao’s physical body was too weak to bear her former soul as a Heaven Ghost.

Red Shang Ghost King did not kill him, merely implanted a "Ghost Servant Mark" with Ghost Technique in his soul.

In this way, through Qin Xiao, she could control the situation inside and outside the Earth Palace, directing Qin Xiao to bring suitable bodies inside.

She waited for several years.

During this period, Qin Xiao, through cooperation exploring the Earth Palace, brought in several Fighting Masters from small countries, none of whom Red Shang Ghost King was satisfied with.

Small countries had no strong experts, so Qin Xiao dared.

Grandmasters from large countries were untouchable to Qin Xiao, as it would easily cause trouble.

Upon learning of Lu Chenzhou’s return, Qin Xiao considered repeating the trick to lure Lu Chenzhou to the Earth Palace and present him to the Ghost King.

Unfortunately, Lu Chenzhou was always in seclusion, giving him no chance.

Unexpectedly, the lad came here himself.

Thus, he cannot be blamed for it.

As for the talk with Li Minghuang about seeking opportunities, it’s just an excuse.

After discussing the plan, Red Shang Ghost King gazes at Li Minghuang in the distance, chuckling sinisterly.

"Before taking action, I will first let this junior brother accompany you, so that he won’t reveal heavenly secrets and delay important matters in the future."

Qin Xiao’s eyes were cold as he said indifferently, "I leave it entirely to Grandma’s decision."

He told Li Minghuang that he was here to lure the Ghost King.

Li Minghuang didn’t know that he and the Ghost King were actually on the same side.

Boom! A mysterious red satin spread across the sky, dyeing the clouds crimson.

From afar, Li Minghuang’s voice of astonished anger echoed.

After a short while, the battle subsided.

One was a Middle Realm Grandmaster, the other was once a Heaven Ghost, though falling in realm is still at the Peak Demon King; there’s no comparison.

...

Rumble.

The Xuankong Temple collapsed with a loud crash.

Lu Chenzhou, with an elder martial brother in one hand and an elder martial sister in the other, protected by Immortal Armor, was ejected in the shocking explosion, landing five miles away.

Crack... The Immortal Armor shattered, the aftermath poured in, the armor and helmet hummed and trembled, relieving the force of ten thousand pounds.

Lin Xia wiped her cold sweat, saying with lingering fear, "Brute force breaking the array is too dangerous, junior brother, are you okay?"

His and Wang Xian’s Nine Mountains Mysterious Robe lasted only a moment in the explosion before shattering.

After taking Great Medicine to adjust his breath, Lu Chenzhou said, "The array is indeed a method to overcome the strong with the weak. This Fourth Rank array can almost unleash the prowess of a Great Grandmaster. It is said that the super combined formation [God Slaying Sword Formation] formed by Ninth Step experts in the Heavenly Sword Sect and three hundred Sword Immortals can slay ordinary Gods, seems it’s true."

[Sword Spirit: Of course it’s true, only a pity that the God Slaying Sword Formation has already become a bygone echo.]

After defeating the outside Immortal Puppet, the three siblings entered the temple.

Inside, they defeated three Fourth Rank Immortal Puppets, though none were top-grade, so combined they were an unstoppable force.

Eventually, in the deepest part, they discovered a treasure vault protected by an array.

Ignorant of arrays, they relied on brute force, battling for half a day, successfully breaking it.

The treasures inside were split equally among the three.

As for the Immortal Puppets, Lu Chenzhou got the top-grade one outside and one High Grade Fourth Rank from inside.

In his opinion, the most precious thing in this treasure land was that top-grade Immortal Puppet, which he plans to study thoroughly.

After a bit of rest, it was still early to the one-month limit.

Lin Xia asked, "Continue next, or find a place to stay for a while before leaving?"

Lu Chenzhou said, "I won’t go. I’ve gained some insights from this battle; I want to find a safe place to retreat until the time ends."

Wang Xian sighed, "Junior brother loves cultivation too much. Others are eager to adventure for treasures in the Earth Palace for a month."

Lin Xia said, "Then I won’t wander either, junior brother, you plan to research Horizontal Training? I will protect you. We’ve gained enough this time, being moderate and taking it slow is safer."

...

A while later.

Qin Xiao, Li Minghuang, and Red Shang Ghost King rode the Black Water Profound Snake, arriving at Xuankong Temple’s ruins.

Li Minghuang’s face slightly changed: "They actually defeated the outside top-grade Immortal Puppet."

He experienced firsthand the strength of a top-grade Immortal Puppet.

With him, Qin Xiao, and a Fourth Rank Mutant Beast, they could only wear it down through resource consumption and wheel battle.

Qin Xiao snorted coldly, "It’s because we’ve drained the Immortal Puppet’s energy, giving these three an advantage."

Red Shang Ghost King said, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and search, with me here, even if he has transcendent ability, he’s not our match."

Thinking of Lu Chenzhou being Wang Changming’s disciple, the Ghost King grew restless, wishing immediately to seize his body.

It couldn’t wait to see Wang Changming’s reaction upon discovering his beloved disciple turned into a ghost?

As a Ghost King, it loved dealing with these so-called unmatched physical beings, it had myriad ways to toy them to death.

Not to mention, they had four Four Realms.

The advantage is on our side!

...

The next day.

The sky brightened with dawn.

At the Third Layer, in a treasure land with serene mountains and waters, shrouded in immortal qi.

Silvery waterfalls cascaded down, like immortals drinking, bold and uninhibited.

Behind the waterfall was a secluded grotto heaven, a cave carved into the rockface.

Lu Chenzhou sat behind the waterfall, a Jade Bottle floating in his hand, within was a drop of verdant liquid.

Within the liquid, a faint image of a small beast galloped throughout the world.

"I never thought randomly finding a retreat place would yield such a treasure."

[Cheng Huang Liquid], Earth Grade treasure, said to be related to a Divine from the Great Wilderness [Cheng Huang].

Ancient texts by ancestors recorded: Cheng Huang, its form like a fox, with horns on its back, riding it grants a lifespan of three thousand years.

Cheng Huang governs longevity, also known as [Si Shou Star Lord].

This Cheng Huang Liquid, doesn’t offer much help to Martial Arts Cultivation, its only effect is extending life.
