Chapter 836 - Accumulating Power (1/2)

Translator: AL_Squad Editor: AL_Squad

An hour ago, a long lost figure appeared on the Stellar Peak in Nine Regions.

Lu Li wiped his eyes in disbelief, despite his pair of spiritual eyes were already comparable to that of an Immortal, which made him immune to any illusion.

It was just that the appearance of this person was too incredible and exciting. The Spirit Sword Sect, the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, and even the entire Nine Regions have been looking forward to his return for so long that most people have even already felt desperate.

In desperation, hope quietly came.

w.a.n.g Lu actually came back?

Just when Lu Li was about to exclaim, the young man outside the bamboo room shook his head and put his index finger on his mouth, telling him not to make any sound.

Then, a familiar voice sounded in Lu Li’s mind.

“Keep quiet.”

“Lu Li was shocked, “What? Why?”

Feng Yin stood up and pressed Lu Li’s shoulder, “Since Big Brother… Em, since w.a.n.g Lu said so, he must have his own intention. You don’t want to be discovered?”

w.a.n.g Lu nodded and said, “Originally, I wanted to be more open and aboveboard. But since that guy is here,” w.a.n.g Lu pointed back at the Immortal King Xia Yu in the sky behind him and said, “then it’s necessary to change my plan.”

Feng Yin pa.s.sed his words through primordial spirit, “The power of the Immortal King is indeed too great. There’s no chance of winning for us in a frontal battle, but…”

But even if they used an unconventional move, with such a huge power gap between the two, what kind of tricks could they possibly play?

Of course, Feng Yin could see that at this time, w.a.n.g Lu was already not what he used to be… He didn’t know what kind of adventure he got in the remnant of the two-worlds pa.s.sage, his power now was already comparable to that of Senior Immortal Xiaoyao, the leader of the Senior Immortals. However, it was still too far away from Xia Yu’s terrifying power that could freeze time and s.p.a.ce just by moving his hands and feet.

After all, the giant Divine Weapon was only a creation of the Earth Immortal. Even if the synchronization rate was pushed up to one hundred percent, it simply could not reach the realm of Immortal King. If w.a.n.g Lu could come back earlier and completely seal off the pa.s.sage between the Immortal World and the Nine Regions, perhaps the situation might still be saved, but now…

“I need you guys to do two things.” w.a.n.g Lu said, “The first thing is everything goes as usual. Don’t let anyone know that I’m back. Second, bring me the Nine Regions Map.”

“The Nine Regions Map is damaged.”

“Of course, it’s damaged. The Southern Heaven Region was destroyed by the Against the World Dragon Pillar, meaning that Nine Regions have lost one of its regions. So, it’s normal that the Nine Regions Map is damaged. However, the damaged Nine Regions Map is still the Nine Regions Map. If I want every inch of Spirit Sword Mountain to control the rest of the eight regions, then the Nine Regions Map is a must.”

Feng Yin frowned. He really didn’t understand the significance of w.a.n.g Lu’s insistence on a damaged Nine Regions Map at this time. But, since he said so…

“I’ll look for Hetu in a moment, but Hetu was seriously injured before and is currently relying on the Nine Regions Map to continue his life. I can’t guarantee that…”

w.a.n.g Lu said with a smile, “That’s not good. I have to get the Nine Regions Map so that I can… The Nine Regions Map is much more important than Hetu himself.”

Feng Yin was understandably shocked. The implication of w.a.n.g Lu’s words was that he would not hesitate at all to kill or rob to get the treasure. But… This was Hetu, he presided over the Death to Immortal Sword Array and made great contributions in the battle. It was all thanks to Daoist Hetu’s ‘pus.h.i.+ng the boat with the current’ that w.a.n.g Lu was able to jump from being the lead disciple of Spirit Sword Sect to the number one person in Nine Regions during the Grand Compet.i.tion. It could be said that although Daoist Hetu was not the person that guided w.a.n.g Lu on the Immortal Path, there was no doubt that w.a.n.g Lu had received patronage from Daoist Hetu.

But now, he casually wanted to take Hetu’s life?

Rationally, this was unacceptable, how could Hetu’s life be compared with the overall situation of Nine Regions? But…

w.a.n.g Lu lowered his face and said, “Sect Leader, I know you have always been soft-hearted, but at this time, being soft-hearted will only make the sacrifice of those who fell before us worthless. In order to avoid people’s eyes and ears, I can’t leave your place. Otherwise, I would’ve gone and taken it myself… Don’t let me take such unnecessary risks!”

Feng Yin sighed and said, “I understand.”

Dragging a slightly heavy step, Feng Yin left his bamboo room. But when he stepped out of the house, he suddenly turned back and asked, “Where is Fifth Junior Sister?”

w.a.n.g Lu smiled but did not answer.

——

After a cup of tea’s time later, Feng Yin returned to the room with a map where more than half of it was damaged and handed it over to w.a.n.g Lu.

“Hetu, he… pa.s.sed away peacefully. He said that you can definitely lead the rest to the end.”
