Chapter 119: Origin Energy Might (2/2)
King Song stretched out his hand, only to retract it eventually. Mister Yin Shan had already done all that was asked of him.
King Song couldn’t have expected that ‘Consort Taizhen’ was still a virgin. No matter how ridiculous the notion was, he knew that it was impossible for Mister Yin Shan to lie.
“What in the world is going on?”
King Song’s heart was in chaos.
“Return to the residence, summon Academic Lu!”
…
In the main hall of King Song Residence, King Song, Lu Ting, and the old butler were gathered together, but not a single person spoke.
“Your Highness, could King Shou be…”
“Impossible!”
Lu Ting was intending to say that King Shou was ‘unable to rise’, but before he could finish his words, King Song had already interjected.
“Mao-er was no longer a virgin by the time he was fourteen! Quite a few people in the King Shou Residence are aware of this matter.
“Then, could it be that His Majesty intentionally placed her with King Shou to hide her from the crowd?”
Lu Ting asked again.
The Sage Emperor had taken Li Mao’s wife for himself, but the latter didn’t seem to mind at all. On top of that, despite two years of marriage, Consort Taizhen was still a virgin. Lu Ting truly couldn’t think of any other explanation as to this bizarre turn of events.
“His Majesty is the most powerful person in the Great Tang. If he likes a woman, who would dare to oppose him? Would he need King Shou to hide her from others?”
King Song refuted the claim.
“This…”
Lu Ting was stumped as well.
If the emperor favored a lady, he could just induct her into the royal court openly. There was no need for him to use King Shou to conceal the matter. There wasn’t a single lady in the royal palace who would dare to touch a lady favored by the emperor.
“Furthermore, there’s also another doubt. It has been many days since Consort Taizhen entered Yuzhen Palace, and I heard that His Majesty has paid her several visits, even staying overnight on numerous occasions. Since His Majesty favors her so much so as to demote King Song for her, how could Consort Taizhen still be a virgin?”
The old butler also spoke up.
If King Shou being ‘unable to raise’ was a plausible hypothesis, then the matter of Consort Taizhen being a virgin was completely inconceivable. Given how the Sage Emperor had a massive back palace, it was clear that he wasn’t one to practice abstinence.
Consort Taizhen still being a virgin despite a month in the palace was something illogical.
In the hall, the trio’s eyebrows were deeply knitted together.
“Your Highness, I think that we should consult a person on this matter.”
Lu Ting suddenly chuckled.
“Who?”
King Song asked.
“Wang Chong!”
Lu Ting smiled.
Upon hearing those words, King Song and the old butler’s body jolted. Indeed! Thinking of it, the entire matter originated from Wang Chong’s words.
If not for him, King Song would have never visited King Shou and realize that Consort Taizhen was still a virgin. If there was someone who could answer their doubts, that person had to be Wang Chong.
“Seems like I have underestimated him at the Four Quarters Embassy.”
Recalling the matter back then, King Song sighed deeply.
“Lu Ting, I’ll have to trouble you to make a trip to the Wang Family Residence and invite Wang Chong over! We have no choice but to discuss this matter with him.”
Lu Ting smiled, clasped his fist, and left.
…
In the courtyard of the Wang Family Residence, a person was seated. White and dense mist congregated from the surroundings and shrouded the body of that person.
Oblivious to the ruckus in the royal court, Wang Chong was currently immersed in his cultivation of Might of the Barbaric God.
From the surroundings, endless Origin Energy gathered and seeped into Wang Chong’s body. It streamed an entire round through his entire body through his meridians before settling in his dantian, turning into a sliver of Origin Energy with bowstring-like qualities.
This was ‘Might’!
What Might of the Barbaric God cultivated wasn’t Origin Energy, but layer and layer of Might! The greater the ‘Might’, the greater one’s burst power. This was what that made it different from normal cultivation techniques.
“The sixth layer!”
After a period of time, Wang Chong finally succeeded in gathering the ‘Might’ in his body into his dantian in the shape of a sphere. Gladdened, he heaved a sigh of relief.
The 1-dan of Might of the Barbaric God mainly consisted of the cultivation of one’s Might. However, before reaching ninth layer, what one was cultivating wasn’t the complete Might of the Barbaric God but the fundamental ‘Origin Energy Might’.
Wang Chong spent several days cultivating day and night before he managed to cultivate the Origin Energy Might to the sixth layer, the level corresponding to his current cultivation realm.
“I should try out the strength of the Origin Energy Might!”
Wang Chong fixated his gaze on a certain point on the fake hill before him.
Peng!
All of a sudden, Wang Chong’s fist shot out. This fist was more than twofold faster than Wang Chong’s usual fists. Upon being struck, the fake hill suddenly burst apart. Smoke rose from the fake hill as it collapsed into a pile of dust.
“Hehe, not bad!”
Seeing the fake hill being reduced into dust before him, Wang Chong smiled.
An ordinary cultivator was only capable of crushing a fake hill into fragments, but a fist augmented by the Might of the Barbaric God could reduce a fake hill into dust.
This was the greatest difference between the Might of the Barbaric God and other techniques!
“Not only so, my strength has also increased by a fair amount!”
Walking over to a fake hill that weighed slightly more than 400 jin not too far away, he slid his palm at the bottom of the fake hill and with a burst of strength, hong long long, this fake hill, which weight should be beyond the strength of an Origin Energy Tier 6 cultivator, was lifted up.
(~200kg)
Propping it up with a single hand, Wang Chong was even able to spin it for a moment before slowly placing it back.
“Young master, Academic Lu Ting is here! ——”
Just when Wang Chong was testing out his strength, Shen Hai and Meng Long suddenly ran in.
