Dawn light spilled through those thin windows, illuminating the elegant study.
The room still harbored the smell of last night’s cold dishes, and Zhu Minglang still found it hard to believe that this old man who often ate alone in this study possessed such extensive divine skills!
“Don’t believe it?” Zhu Heavenly Officer laughed.
“A little bit,” Zhu Minglang sat down and carefully reviewed the words Zhu Heavenly Officer had said.
In other words, the strength of Zhu Gate had already surpassed the Royal Family, and whether Zhu Heavenly Officer wanted to be the Emperor was purely a matter of mood. Considering that no imperial dynasty could last forever, Zhu Heavenly Officer had decided to maintain Zhu Gate’s position among the Six Great Clans indefinitely, ensuring that Zhu Gate would never decline, no matter how many dynasties passed.
Zhu Heavenly Officer was an uncrowned king of the Supreme Court, surpassing the Court’s cultivation levels with the art of casting, which was not acknowledged by the world!
...“Cultivators need to compete for rare spiritual resources between heaven and earth, and the Royal Family inevitably competes with the Great Sect Woods and Six Great Clans. However, nobody on the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent is competing with us for the materials needed for casting. They even try every means to bring those rare materials to us, just to have us forge weapons and armor to their heart’s content. The things we at Zhu Gate need are inexhaustible, and with the release of divine power through our casting art, whichever power we wish to become the dominant force will be the dominant force,” said Zhu Heavenly Officer.
“People have ultimately overlooked the power of casting masters,” Zhu Minglang remarked.
“Yes, before I told you this, would you ever have thought that casting masters are the true masters of this Supreme Court? Moreover, you had prejudice against casting art. Even you, the only son of Zhu Gate, felt this way; let alone others, who didn’t take us seriously at all. We have no natural predators, we win people’s hearts, we are harmless to humans and animals, why wouldn’t we be powerful?” Zhu Heavenly Officer spoke.
“I don’t have prejudice against casting art; I’m simply not interested in it,” Zhu Minglang stated bluntly.Zhu Heavenly Officer looked utterly disheartened.
He had dominated the world through casting art, yet he couldn’t persuade his own son to join this grand undertaking; it was nothing short of a thorough defeat.
“Unfortunately, the situation has changed. The Royal Family has already joined forces with the Lower God Organization. After they experienced the annihilation of King An’s Mansion, they should have realized our true strength. Dealing with the Royal Family isn’t difficult, but the Lower God Organization behind them is the most terrifying!” Zhu Heavenly Officer became a bit more solemn.
He had the confidence to be a king, but he wasn’t so overconfident as to think he could contend with the powerful Lower God Organization of the Tianshu God Domain…
If the next step isn’t taken with enough caution, Zhu Gate could still fall within a few days.
After all, the Tianshu God Domain is a colossus for the Supreme Court!
Moreover, no matter how extensive Zhu Heavenly Officer’s divine skills were, he couldn’t foresee what they would face next; the collision between Star Continent and God Territory meant no one could remain unharmed.
“Sect Leader, young master, there’s something strange happening in Drip Water City,” Qin Yang walked in and reported, his expression grave.
“Zhao Yuan is already becoming a bit deranged, he’s capable of doing anything now. Let’s go to a high place to see,” said Zhu Heavenly Officer.
“Do we need to mobilize our people?” Qin Yang asked.
“Of course.”
…
Zhu Minglang first went to the small building, calling for Li Xinghua, Hong Geng, and Mingji.
Heading towards the Divine Willow Pavilion in the inner courtyard, Zhu Minglang briefly explained the situation of Zhu Gate on the way.
After listening, Hong Geng fell into deep thought.
Li Xinghua looked surprised too; clearly, she had never foreseen this scenario.
“Sneaky and crafty, both you and your father are deceitful people; I, a glorious God’s Descendant, have been miserably tricked by you!” the youth Mingji said with some indignation.
If they had known that Zhu Gate was so powerful, their Ming God Clan wouldn’t have collaborated with that useless Great Zhou Clan.
However, Zhu Gate was not the kind to be manipulated at will, and it was very likely that they would end up swindling the Ming God Clan even worse!
Ascending to the Divine Willow Pavilion, they reached the most ancient willow tree in Dripping Lake, a tree so vast it rivaled some skyscrapers, with high pavilions built atop this ancient and enormous willow. For Zhu Gate, this kind of construction wasn’t too challenging.
As they climbed, Li Xinghua’s steps slowed down slightly.
Zhu Minglang also slowed down, walking at a leisurely pace with her, and noticing her hesitant demeanor, he asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong, is there something amiss with the way things are going?”
“With King An’s Mansion destroyed and the Sparrow Wolf God not making an appearance, it seems the Sparrow Wolf God has been colluding with the Royal Family all along…” Li Xinghua said.
“Mm,” Zhu Minglang nodded his head.
“After all, the Royal Family has some heritage, and I’m afraid the Sparrow Wolf God might have used the Imperial Dynasty to collect various rare Divine Roots for him, allowing him to recover a significant amount of his Divine Power,” Li Xinghua said.
“Why would you think that?” Zhu Minglang asked.
“The Ancient Lantern Jade. This object is in the hands of the Royal Family, and it’s the most effective item for healing injuries and nurturing the soul. If the Sparrow Wolf God has been standing behind the Royal Family all this time, his recovery might be better than I estimated,” Li Xinghua said.
“So, going against the Sparrow Wolf God now would still be too risky?” Zhu Minglang asked.
“Mm, but it’s possible to try…” Li Xinghua said.
“Try??”
“All you need to do is maintain a calm heart in face of whatever happens,” Li Xinghua said.
Although Zhu Minglang didn’t quite understand what the Prophet wanted to express, he still nodded his head.
When he saw Zhu Heavenly Officer, Zhu Minglang briefly shared Li Xinghua’s concerns with him.
“You were looking for the Ancient Lantern Jade before, so I ordered an investigation. Indeed, the Royal Family controls most of the lantern jade and Ancient Lantern Jade on this continent,” Zhu Heavenly Officer said.
Zhu Minglang’s expression grew grave; this meant that the Sparrow Wolf God’s ability to wield the Hundred Miles Quicksand Divine Skills wasn’t something mysterious but rather a sign of his increasing strength.
Suddenly, a beam of light caught Zhu Minglang’s attention.
Looking over, he could see most of Drip Water City. Qin Yang had mentioned an anomaly, which was located on Martial Street in Drip Water City, a more bustling area within the Imperial City.
The street was wide, with towering buildings, clustered mansions, gardens, martial arenas, Beast Fighting Pavilions, Weapon Alleys…
The light Zhu Minglang saw was extremely familiar to him, dense and with hints of purple, shooting straight into Cloud Heaven. Within the brilliance, Zhu Minglang saw an enormous banner covering the vast Martial Street!
The Divine Oracle Flag!!!
Zhu Minglang was well aware of what it was, but in the moment, he couldn’t determine which Lower God Organization had descended from the sky and appeared in Dripping Water Imperial City, which was under the control of Zhu Gate!
“It’s the Heaven-Descending Oracle Banner from the Divine Weapon From The Sky!” Mingji recognized the flag at a glance.
