227 THE ADVENT OF GENIUS
People within the stands were kicked into a daze by this statement. Not only was a genius born in the Pill brewing competition, but a monstrous figure of Pill Valley also made his return. Even more of a shock was the fact that the genius was the disciple of that monstrous figure.
The Valley master couldn’t help but feel sore about the situation. He was being shameless trying to rope Lu Ming into his tutelage, but this brother of his was one step ahead. He sent Lu Ming to participate in this competition. The valley master could derive the idea behind the grand elder’s choice of doing so. He wanted a dazzling event to mark his return and Lu Ming provided him with one.
“I hope brother Ti Shen is well. The valley was worried about your conditions after the war and sent multiple groups in search of you, but we failed to discover your hiding place.”
“I am happy to hear about the amount of care you wanted to shower on me, Valley master. Now that I have returned, you will surely get multiple occasions to show your grace.”
“Hahaha, your aloof attitude hasn’t changed even a bit brother.” The Valley master spoke in an elated voice.
“Since the situation involves my disciple, I hope no one is going to oppose me when I try to intervene within it.” Ti Shen turned towards Teng Luo and stared with a blank expression.
“I greet the senior brother. Hope you have been doing well in recent years?”
“I was fortunate enough to survive the disaster. Although the recent years have been quite hard on me, now that I have returned, all can be made up for.”
“I didn’t expect you to choose another disciple after taking her into your camp.” Teng Luo turned towards the girl who was sitting beside Ti Shen. The gaze had a hidden meaning within it as if trying to prove her strength. In return to the stare, all the hall master gave was an expressionless face.
.....
“My first disciple was working quite hard on her path of martial cultivation. She did force me to take another student to lighten her burden as a disciple. Also, his talent is unique, as you all must have experienced by now.”
“Did we experience it? I have to applaud my marital nephew for his performance in this competition. I am looking forward to his future achievements.” The valley master interrupted their conversation. He couldn’t let this situation turn wild and needed to end it as fast as possible.
“I would love to hear about the crime which my junior brother was talking about.” Ti Shen spoke in a grave tone. How could he let Teng Luo off without proper repayment?
“My Teng family incurred loss in the hands of your disciple. Around 3 cultivators of king realm and 6 of Qi general realm were killed by him.”
“May I know when the confrontation took place?”
“That is not relatable to the context. The fact remains that he did kill the cultivators of my family and needs to be punished accordingly.”
“I don’t think you are capable of understanding your own situation. You are pinning an absurd crime on my disciple. Multiple king level practitioners were killed by a Qi general realm cultivator. Is your head in its proper place?”
“I have already explained that some cultivators could jump realm and fight with those above their cultivation realm. I also suspect that he has got someone to support him from the shadows.”
“DO you have any proof that Lu Ming attacked your squad?”
Teng Luo was immediately thrown into a dilemma. They did collect some proof, but he feared that it would clearly lead to an investigation into a direction he didn’t want to go. If it was just the valley master, he might be able to take some action, but Ti Shen was different. He had stepped into the advanced Emperor realm even before either of them did. No one knew his current cultivation realm.
Although he was injured in the previous calamity of the pill valley, a threat to life could also prove as a tempering stage for a cultivator to improve his strength.
While Teng Luo was calculating the possible outcomes of the situation and what he could do to gain an advantage in this situation, an invisible aura was released from Ti Shen’s body. Both the valley master’s and Teng Luo’s expressions immediately changed.
“8th level Qi Emperor.” The valley master spoke in a low tone. “I guess my brother got some outstanding opportunities while roaming around the world.” Now that Ti Shen was in the same realm as him, he could no longer restrict his action.
...........
Crimson Lord World-
“Your master is quite a character boy. Although he has cultivated only three types of laws, two of them are of Heavenly stage. The third one is an earthen law.” Lu Ming was shocked upon hearing this. Two laws at the heavenly stage spoke a lot about his master’s talent in martial cultivation.
“I guess none of the two can beat him then?”
“They wouldn’t be able to beat him even if he is a stage weaker than them. Remember the complementary properties of laws. Both of your master’s heavenly laws complement each other quite well. From the looks of it, they are fire and wood type. The earthen law is of the earth type. Quite an incredible complementation.”
Lu Ming couldn’t help but fall in awe of his master’s talent.
“You should discuss your dilemma with him. He could describe the difficulties while connecting with heavenly laws. Remember, you need to aim for chaotic laws. You should use the remaining time to gain more comprehension and understanding of law energy.”
.............
“I am demanding an answer from you, junior brother.” Ti Shen was extremely calm. Teng Luo could feel a chill creeping up his spine. This brother of his was someone who never competed with either of them for power. Although one of them became the valley master, while the other made it to the leader’s chair of ten family alliance, the fact remained that Ti Shen was the strongest among them.
“Is senior trying to undermine me with his power? I am not scared of Pill Valley’s strength while pursuing justice for my clan members.” Teng Luo didn’t lose his ground.
“I am indicating that I will personally decimate your alliance if you don’t give me a satisfactory answer for this situation. From the looks of it, your family tried to take care of Lu Ming even though no enmity existed between you two.”
“Even after sending hordes of troops, your family was the loosing arty in the confrontation. Yet you came here with zero amount of shame to demand justice for those scoundrels. Do you think I don’t exist in this world?” Ti Shen was truly pissed this time. His disciple managed to create such a stage for his return. How could he not demand [roper justice for his disciple?
A huge black flame began spreading within the atmosphere. Both the valley master and Teng Luo backed off instantly. How could they not recognize this flame?
Ti Shen was known as the Blackfire empire for a specific reason. It was this specific earth flame that resulted in this name. This flame was one of the reasons behind the Pill Valley’s disaster, and it was also how the war ended. Ti Shen personally incinerated Ten Emperors of the enemy camp, hence ending the war.
...........
While the situation became quite grave, another voice rang from the depths of the valley.
“I request Blackfire emperor to give me some face, and refrain from attacking within the grounds.” The voice emerged out of nowhere, surprising everyone.
“I greet the Valley protector. Hope senior has been well all these years.” Ti Shen personally bowed.
“All three of us should refrain from attacking each other. Come to my dwelling to have a chat. It a long time since I saw the three of you together.”
.........
Crimson Lord World-
“Just who was this man who could tame all three of these figures?” Lu Ming was shocked upon seeing the scene. He felt that his master was invincible within this fight, but a single sentence ended the whole brawl.
The Keeper had discerned the expression over his face.
“I will not be able to help you while you are within this valley boy. We will only communicate once you enter the land of fire.”
“Do you have some work to do?”
“It is the voice which made me nervous. The man who just spoke is someone who is beyond the emperor realm.”
“A monarch.” Lu Ming asked. The Keeper nodded.
“It is better to not let him sense the artifact. I will temporarily hibernate within your body.
...........
At a far of place from Pill-brew city, a figure opened his eyes. He was sitting within a pool of thunder circulating thunder energy through his body. His body glistened with white splendor, brightening the area around him. Small sparks began to circulate within his eyes, as he looked around.
“Which stage did you manage to reach?” The sect master was standing beside the pool.
“8th stage.” The sect master couldn’t help but be shocked. Only a single stage remained till the absolute peak of 9 thunder body art.
