Chapter 207: Lou Guangzhi, the Jade Emperor
Chapter 207: Lou Guangzhi, the Jade Emperor
Naturally, the last one was the Divine Grade Top-Level Origin Force Cultivation Method Devouring the Cosmos. This Origin Force Cultivation Method was the foundation of Jiang Xincheng’s strength and had been cultivated by him to the small completion stage of the fourth level. He was very close to the great completion stage.
There was also the Eighteen Chain Kicks. This powerful Mysterious Grade, Upper Tier Origin Force Combat Skill had been cultivated by Jiang Xincheng to the great completion stage. He could instantly kick eighteen times in a row. Its attacking power was even stronger than the current small completion stage of the Bamboo Forest Sword Art, and it was extremely fast, making it hard for opponents to defend against.
With just this Eighteen Chain Kicks alone, Jiang Xincheng was confident he could dominate the Cloud Condensation Realm. Unless facing the very top experts among late-stage Cloud Condensation Realm Primordial Warriors, ordinary Great Yuan Warriors in the Cloud Condensation Realm were simply no match for Jiang Xincheng.
Not to mention Jiang Xincheng had just mastered the Earth Grade, Lower Tier Origin Force Combat Skill Bamboo Forest Sword Art. His combat power was already comparable to a Great Yuan Warrior in the late stages of the Cloud Condensation Realm.
Thinking carefully, Jiang Xincheng had cultivated quite a few cultivation methods and combat techniques. Unfortunately, many of them were about to be phased out, such as the Mountain-Shaking Fist, the Butterfly Sword Art, the Five Elements Steps, the Thousand Refinements Spirit Tempering Method…
And the Thousand Refinements Spirit Tempering Method, as Jiang Xincheng’s Spiritual Sense became increasingly powerful, it gradually couldn’t keep up. Moreover, Jiang Xincheng had already used the Thousand Refinements Spirit Tempering Method to solidify the foundation of his Spiritual Sense. So it was time to switch to a more powerful and formidable Spiritual Sense cultivation method, such as the Celestial Grade, Upper Tier Spiritual Sense cultivation method Silkworm Devours the Sun Chant.
The Silkworm Devours the Sun Chant, a powerful Movement Combat Skill, and breaking through the Immeasurable Golden Body to the Full Moon Silver Body stage, these were the main tasks Jiang Xincheng would undertake next.
As for the Eighteen Chain Kicks and the Bamboo Forest Sword Art, the Eighteen Chain Kicks were not far from reaching the peak perfection stage. The Bamboo Forest Sword Art still required more effort. He needed to set aside some time to cultivate the Bamboo Forest Sword Art next. This Origin Force Combat Skill was top-notch in both attack power and practicality, and Jiang Xincheng could use it even beyond the Rain Transformation Realm.
As time passed, Jiang Xincheng’s overall strength increased every day, and it increased at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than a year, Jiang Xincheng might possess the strength to rival a Frontier Governor of the Rain Transformation Realm.
After all, the difference in strength between the Cloud Condensation Realm and the Rain Transformation Realm was not as large or obvious as the difference between the Bone Training Realm and the Cloud Condensation Realm. As long as one possessed sufficiently powerful combat strength in the Cloud Condensation Realm, fighting across realms was not an impossible thing.
In his previous life, the Chi You Demon God once killed a Frontier Governor in the early Rain Transformation Realm while he himself was at the late peak of the Cloud Condensation Realm. Let alone Jiang Xincheng, this formidable Great Yuan Warrior who was even more incredible than the Chi You Demon God Lu Guangwei from his previous life.
Jiang Xincheng immersed himself in this life of constantly increasing strength, letting time flow by. He just focused on diligent cultivation and hard training, serenely watching the flowers bloom and fall. After enough time passed, Jiang Xincheng would use the sharp sword in his hand to achieve results that would shock everyone.
One evening, Jiang Xincheng had just finished eating at a restaurant on another street near Shenzhuang and was about to return to his small courtyard to cultivate when he saw a group of young Tianhai University students hurriedly running out of a nearby restaurant, rushing back to the school.
“Hurry up! There’s a good show to see. I heard that Zhao Munv, a senior from the School of Foreign Languages, is placing 999 candles under the Teachers’ Dormitory Building to propose to Lou Guangzhi, the talented professor from the School of Foreign Languages.”
“Wow, no way? It’s not surprising for a guy to chase a girl with such a big gesture, but for a girl to chase a guy like this, and a student chasing a teacher? That’s too bold. Let’s go watch! Compared to this, eating is nothing.”
“I’m going too, I’m going too! Wait for me, let me pack the food. Don’t run so fast!”
…
Watching the group of students disappear instantly at the end of the street and hearing their shouts, Jiang Xincheng shuddered all over. He suddenly remembered an event, a major event that would deeply influence the future. This event was the failure of the Queen Mother of the West’s courtship of the Jade Emperor.
This event almost affected the history of the Shenxia Alliance and also created the later famously known Jade Emperor Lou Guangzhi and Queen Mother of the West Zhao Munv. At the same time, it was an extremely tragic matter.
Being well-read in history, Jiang Xincheng naturally knew about this event and was quite clear about the details. He had originally thought about using this event to recruit the Jade Emperor Lou Guangzhi as his right-hand man. But he had been so busy with cultivation recently that he almost forgot about it.
If he hadn’t happened to come out to eat today and heard these discussions, Jiang Xincheng might have carried a lifelong regret.
That was the Jade Emperor Lou Guangzhi! The most famous man in the Shenxia Alliance, and also the terrifying existence who later ruled the Immortal Realm. His status and position were no less than that of the Chi You Demon God, perhaps even surpassing it.
Under his command, there were numerous experts, and immortals were as plentiful as rain. He once led the Immortal Realm’s multitude of immortals in a fierce battle against the Mowei Empire for ten days and ten nights, consecutively seizing eighteen Large Yuan Crystal Mines in the South Sea. From then on, he became famous overnight, hailed as the Jade Emperor. He conferred titles upon various heroes at the Conferred Gods Platform, becoming a terrifying force that rivaled the Mowei Empire’s SGB organization.
If the Chi You Demon God Lu Guangwei was the number one powerhouse of the Shenxia Alliance, then the Jade Emperor Lou Guangzhi was the number one Monarch of the Shenxia Alliance. He commanded the gods of the Immortal Realm, ascended to the peak of power, and became a superpower ranked among the top ten globally, even more fearsome than the Xuanyuan Family from his previous life.
Jiang Xincheng had long since made up his mind to find a way to subdue this future Jade Emperor. Coincidentally, this future number one Monarch was currently teaching at Tianhai University, and he was the youngest professor at Tianhai University, closest to Jiang Xincheng.
Jiang Xincheng had been keeping an eye on Lou Guangzhi, waiting for the incident of the Queen Mother of the West’s confession to happen. Then, using this event, he would save Lou Guangzhi and seize the opportunity to recruit this Monarch.
Unfortunately, he had been so busy with cultivation recently that he almost forgot. Luckily, he came out to eat today and just happened to encounter this event.
Jiang Xincheng secretly exclaimed “lucky” and joined the running crowd, heading towards the No. 2 Teachers’ Dormitory Building where Lou Guangzhi lived.
Several tens of minutes later, Jiang Xincheng arrived at the No. 2 Teachers’ Dormitory Building. He found the place packed with a sea of people, filled with students and teachers, all watching this novel proposal ceremony.
In the center of the crowd, a girl was carefully arranging candles. By the time Jiang Xincheng arrived, about eighty to ninety percent were already placed. Soon, they would form a heart shape, which looked extremely spectacular, covering an area of dozens of square meters. Clearly, she had been placing them for a long time, showing that this girl truly liked Lou Guangzhi very much.
Around the girl, many male and female students were cheering her on. Even some teachers were applauding and shouting encouragement, making the scene extremely lively. But no one could have imagined what kind of bloodshed and cruelty lay hidden behind this excitement, and an entanglement of love and hate that would last for decades, even hundreds of years.
