Mad God Evolution-Chapter 1541 - 1431
Chapter 1541: Chapter 1431
In the Outer World of the Earth Immortal World, Zixiao Palace.
Upon entering for the first time, Lv Zhong was visibly amazed.
The Zixiao Palace itself turned out to be a magical treasure, and not just any—it was a Tao-grade magical treasure.
This left Lv Zhong in awe of Master Hongjun’s unfathomable wealth.
However, considering that Master Hongjun was the Heavenly Dao’s agent in the entire Pangu World—and had even been willing to part with the [Great Annihilation Pearl] to gift it to a true fated one—it no longer surprised Lv Zhong.
The energy within the Zixiao Palace was extraordinarily pure. For a Sage, cultivating here for one year would equal ten thousand years of cultivation in the Outer World.
Following Master Hongjun into the Zixiao Palace, the Supreme Laojun, Primordial Heavenly Lord, Tongtian Cult Leader, Nüwa Holy Mother, Jieyin, and Zhunti were all summoned by him into the palace.
To Lv Zhong, these figures were the pinnacle of strength in the Chinese myths he grew up hearing about.
These six Saints essentially upheld the backbone of the entire mythological framework of China.
Becoming the junior brother to this illustrious group of Saints made Lv Zhong feel deeply honored. He hurriedly knelt and paid his respects to the Six Saints: "This young one, Lv Zhong, greets... greets all Senior Brothers and Sisters..."
Lv Zhong had always been rather proud and arrogant.
But in the presence of these Saints, he indeed felt immense respect, without the slightest hint of arrogance in his heart. On the contrary, this time Lv Zhong was exceptionally polite.
The most carefree of the Six Saints, the Tongtian Saint, spoke first, laughing: "Haha, Junior Brother, congratulations on proving the Dao and becoming a Sage. Your Third Senior Brother here has admired you for a long time! Haha! I never thought I’d finally get to meet you. Not bad... truly not bad..."
"Uh..."
Lv Zhong was speechless, gazing curiously at this dashing Saint. At that moment, the Saint was holding a wine gourd, singing loudly and drinking heartily, utterly delighted. This made Lv Zhong suspect that the man was drunk. After all, Lv Zhong couldn’t fathom what of his could inspire such admiration from the Tongtian Saint.
Seemingly perceiving Lv Zhong’s confusion, the Tongtian Saint squinted slightly, smiled, and said, "Your Slavery Bug Technique has reached entry-level mastery, thanks in part to my disciple Lv Yue’s help. Thus, you and Lv Yue share a karmic connection. While you performed good deeds and gained karma and merit, those benefited Lv Yue. This, in turn, helped Lv Yue gradually break free from the [Conferred God List]. From the moment Lv Yue received the first portion of merit power through you, I’ve been keeping an eye on you, hoping to meet you someday..."
So that’s how it was!
Realization surfaced in Lv Zhong’s mind, tinged with a touch of bitterness.
It seemed that he’d done some rather unsavory things. When being acknowledged by the [Great Annihilation Pearl], he directly devoured and integrated a fragment of Lv Yue’s True Spirit. The second time, he had even consumed a strand of Lv Yue’s Yuanshen.
In a sense, Lv Zhong’s growth had entirely come from seizing the opportunities meant for Plague God Lv Yue!
Now, as it turned out, Plague God Lv Yue could be considered his junior nephew in terms of hierarchy.
This made Lv Zhong feel a little embarrassed.
"Haha, Junior Brother, don’t feel embarrassed. Heaven and Earth treasures belong to those who are fated. The [Great Annihilation Pearl] was deliberately sent out by the Master. The Yaochi Saintess had it, and my disciple Lv Yue had it too. However, neither of them genuinely refined or became recognized as the master of the [Great Annihilation Pearl], indicating their fates with it were shallow. Besides, Lv Yue has already received significant compensation from the vast merit power you helped generate, allowing him to successfully break free from the [Conferred God List] and rapidly evolve in strength. That serves as your repayment. So, you owe Lv Yue nothing, and he owes you nothing as well. Of course, if you still feel guilty, you could always give him a little something in the future, haha..."
The Tongtian Saint, being remarkably understanding, easily dispelled Lv Zhong’s awkwardness.
Lv Zhong smiled wryly and nodded. While his identity had skyrocketed to being Lv Yue’s Grand-Uncle in the blink of an eye, in the end, it was true that Lv Zhong had indirectly been led into the world of Qi Refiners through Lv Yue.
It seemed only proper to return the favor to Lv Yue.
"By the way, Junior Brother, judging by your Sage Tribulation earlier, are you walking the path of proving the Dao through strength? How on earth did you cultivate in such a way that you could amass such immense energy in such a short time, while simultaneously elevating both your incarnate body strength and your Saint’s Divine Consciousness to such heights?" Nüwa Saintess also asked curiously.
In fact, Nüwa Saintess wasn’t the only one curious.
Present were the Three Pure Saints and the two Saints of Buddha’s Door, all wearing incredulous expressions.
They were all aware of Lv Zhong’s startlingly brief cultivation timeline.
Additionally, they knew that Lv Zhong was from Earth Ancestral Star, a desolate, spiritually deficient planet.
Moreover, Lv Zhong was merely a junior born on Earth Ancestral Star in the late 20th century.
Yet somehow, this junior had not only succeeded in attaining the Sage status in a short period but had also done so through the arduous path of "proving the Dao through strength."
This left all the Saints present in disbelief.
Lv Zhong bashfully scratched his head, organized his thoughts briefly, and said, "Honestly, it’s nothing extraordinary. First, the [Great Annihilation Pearl] can devour spatial magic treasures to evolve, and each evolution enables it to further manipulate the time flow within its internal world. At its peak, the acceleration ratio inside to outside is one billion to one. With so much time, combined with the several drops of Venerable Sage Blood Essence I fortuitously obtained in the Hongmeng Dragon Tomb, as well as my Master’s special tutelage in the [Yin Yang Harmony Great Way] and [Microcosmic Spirit Condensation Technique], my bodily strength, soul, Yuanshen, and cultivation all experienced exponential breakthroughs. Haha, if I couldn’t attain the Dao under such conditions, I’d truly be useless..."
Hearing Lv Zhong sum up his path to proving the Dao through strength in just a few brief words, the Three Pure Saints, the two Buddha Door Saints, and Wa Huang couldn’t help but have their lips twitch.
Their naked jealousy, envy, and resentment toward Lv Zhong’s heaven-defying destiny were palpable.
Venerable Sage Blood Essence—he could actually obtain that?
What’s more, he dared to take such risks, devouring Sage Blood Essence for cultivation. And this guy actually didn’t explode and die?
Although everyone knew Lv Zhong must have concealed some truths, a faint admiration unknowingly rose within them as well.
After all, people who dared to use Venerable Sage Blood Essence for cultivation before reaching the Sage Realm were certifiably madmen.
"Junior Brother, during your Sage Tribulation, how did you dare directly devour that [Nine-colored Sacred Heart Tribulation]? After consuming this Sacred Tribulation, did it grant you any unique supernatural abilities?" Saint Jieyin suddenly spoke, raising a question that everyone else had overlooked.
Lv Zhong was first taken aback, then chuckled and waved it off casually: "Oh, it merely strengthened my Yuanshen; my sixth-rank Sage Realm Yuanshen power came from it. Of course, it also upgraded my Heavenly Eye."
It wasn’t that Lv Zhong didn’t trust these Saints, but he didn’t want to expose all his cards. Thus, he described the evolution of his [Eye of the Great Path] as an upgrade to his Heavenly Eye instead. (To be continued.
