Volume 1, Chapter 41: The Dispute of Cuju

The Thick-Earth Shield was the highest-grade spirit treasure in Zhou De's possession, having already advanced to the upper-grade spirit treasure tier. Its inner sentience was entirely capable of transforming from illusory to physical, condensing into a human form to communicate with Zhou De.

"Aunt, let's take advantage of the morning when there are fewer people and go stroll around West Lake first!" Seeing the weeping willows drifting gently over the tranquil green lake, and further off, the fiery red maple leaves fluttering and withering, Liu Yuhhe pointed eagerly at the building sign across the street.

The Lantern Festival, celebrated as a lively and grand festival in the Dayun Kingdom, naturally featured grand celebratory events held within the palace.

It was only at this moment that Dunster recalled why he had repeatedly suffered from the illusion and confusion of "why is it a man again."

Although Mingzhu was retreating, in Xu Linsen's eyes, she was merely being reserved rather than giving him a flat refusal.

Of course, she did not say much more, because to put it bluntly, Lu Hongbing's temperament was of the resigned and submissive kind.

Yang Guang had arrived at Xinyang Town last dusk. Although he brought dozens of men, no one found it strange; for years, northern and southern caravans had frequented this place, primarily engaged in the purchase and trafficking of illicit salt. Since this was a business strictly prohibited by the imperial government, without bringing a few more men, one would likely fail to walk out of this Qingzhou Prefecture even after making purchases.

He also had no idea why the superpowered individuals had failed to attract the attention of higher-ranking leaders. Even an order requesting reinforcements required an operator to transfer the call—a situation absurd to the extreme.

In the eyes of temples and shrines, so-called blasphemers were merely like fleas; the main issue was that they were hard to track down. Otherwise, with a mere flick of their fingers, they would have wiped out the blasphemers' organization.

"You mean those two people who came with you? Before the devouring began, they had already left the wind cave, so they should be safe." The Qilin could sense Zhou De's depressed mood, and at this moment, it certainly did not dare to provoke Zhou De's wrath.

Failing to finish off the honeycomb with a single strike, Wang Kai turned his blade horizontally and slashed across the honeycomb. Lacking time to evade, the honeycomb was severed in half from the waist by Wang Kai into two sections.

Mount Wutai is one of the four sacred Buddhist sanctuaries, while Foguang Temple is a major sect of the Buddhist Chan school, on par with the three major Daoist sects. I truly admire Brother Red-Hair; this fellow really knows how to spin tales, even dropping Foguang Temple's name to inflate his own prestige.

At this moment, the Emperor quietly shifted his position upon the dragon throne. Because today's morning court session had lasted far too long, it was now approaching noon.

The Kunpeng's nest had now opened, with endless ripples surging outward. Countless living beings rushed into that cliffside, only to vanish a moment later, transported to an unknown space.

After getting checked at the hospital, the doctor said there was nothing serious, merely a disturbance to the prenatal qi, and that some rest would set things right.

I let out a torturous cry. The lightning and Buddhist seals, capable of appearing from all directions at any moment, completely shredded my clothes, leaving several horrifying marks upon my indestructible body. My hair was scorched black, and I no longer had any excess true qi to care about such trivialities. The endless misery felt as though it were dragging me down into the abyss of the Ninefold Netherworld.

As the host of this Dao-discussion summit, the one who took the stage to speak after the summit commenced was naturally True Person Xuan Kong.

Yet if they failed to prepare for both contingencies early on, running into trouble only after the new product launch would spell massive disaster. Su Yingmei had always been a cautious person; she did not permit such mistakes to occur.

I glanced at her, then turned my gaze back to Leng Shixian, suddenly feeling a sense of profound relief.

I gently closed my eyes in his embrace, wishing to fall asleep and treat everything—past, present, and perhaps even the future—as a dream, a lengthy dream.

Since he was capable of framing me, and the frame-up had already stuck, it only showed that the government offices of Jingkang were dark and corrupt to the core. If that was the case, wasn't he just relying on money? If he died at home today, and I went to the county magistrate tomorrow to flatly deny the charge, could he possibly cash in the bribe from his grave?

A summoned beast will not die unless its master dies. However, once beaten down, it resides within the master's mind to recover naturally. After an hour, it can be summoned once more. To fully restore it to its optimal state, however, takes at least three days.

Even the Armored Earth Dragon clan, possessing the thinnest bloodline, were formidable third-grade primordial beasts—that is, existences at the Primordial King realm. Yet how could such a colossal creature nearly a hundred feet long be something mere Primordial King realm experts could contend with? Perhaps only that legendary founding Emperor of the Great Yuan Kingdom possessed such might.

With a loud shout, he waved the Nine-Phoenix Sun-Adorning Fan, sending nine fire birds flying out to strike the array disk on the ground. Although the cavern master's message indicated that this array was impassable to him, he still intended to destroy it.

"Wanting to leave, not that easy?" The moment Norway saw Wim preparing to depart, his body sprang into action.

As it turned out, the Principality of Roderia was a nomadic grassland nation north of the mercenary empire of Felinito. The Kaja tribe held the ruling position; their folkways were fierce yet rustic, living by wandering the vast grasslands with their livestock.

Fals was so awkward at this sight that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. Fortunately, Luo Yunxi quickly cut away the imagery, making him feel slightly more at ease.

"Very well, let's test how pure the ancient primordial qi of this realm truly is." Yu Yang chuckled softly, casually pressing three array talismans into two medium-grade primordial stones he had just retrieved, and tossed them toward three different directions.

Three thousand li outside the periphery of Lingshan, Yu Yang's figure suddenly materialized. The next instant, he flickered down onto a spatial node, shattered space with a single punch, boarded a superior cross-domain flying boat, and shuttled through the void.
