Chapter 156 The Shenguang Empire

Zhou Donghuang was clear on this: With his current state, in the eyes of the Golden Core adept of the Xuanyin sect, he was no different from a grasshopper.

In his own eyes, everyone present from the Valley of the Medicine Masters, including Su Mo, was no different from grasshoppers.

The Golden Essence adept did not bother to attack them, and even if Chen Dandan had begged him to strike, he could not possibly condescend to strike.

“Teacher.”

Chen Dandan, who had finally dared to open her eyes a long time after being brought aloft by Zhong Ya, said: “I want that Zhou Donghuang dead!” Her eyes glittered coldly, and her face had a hateful expression.

“I beg you to attack and kill him for me!” Chen Dandan pleaded.

“I will not condescend to attack a mere early Connate-stage adept.” Zhong Ya said flatly.

“Moreover, I am now approaching the final trial before entering the Dharma Laws stage, and achieving mental enlightenment is paramount. If I lower myself to the level of killing an early Connate-stage adept, it would be difficult to prevent it from hindering my mental enlightenment and from there on affecting my progress to the Dharma Laws stage.”

“If you want to kill him, you’ll be able to do it yourself in a few years.”

“You will follow me back to Xuanyin sect, and I will give the returning heaven grass to the essence master of the sect and ask him to forge a returning heaven core. When the returning heaven core is ready, I will give it to you to restore your meridians.”

“After your meridians are restored, you will practice with me.”

“If you don’t slack off, you will attain the Connate stage within five years! If you work a little harder, you may even attain the Connate stage within three years.” Zhong Ya said.

Five years? Three years?

Chen Dandan’s first reaction upon hearing Zhong Ya’s words was “why that long?” when Zhou Donghuang had spent just two years on rising from a martial invalid to a Connate-stage adept.

Of course, Chen Dandan did not dare to question the old man to his face.

“Yes, Teacher.”

Chen Dandan changed the subject. “If you don’t kill that Zhou Donghuang, you should at least take away that sword sphere from him. That is good stuff!”

An early Connate-stage adept using that sword sphere had intimidated the three greatest middle Connate-stage adepts of the Valley of the Medicine Masters into submission.

This showed how fearsome the sword sphere was.

“That sword sphere?”

Zhong Ya smiled in disdain. “Something forged by a middle Primal Core adept at most, no different from rubbish to me.”

“When you attain the Connate stage, I can forge a better sword sphere for you myself.”

Zhong Ya spoke extremely casually, as though a mere sword sphere was nothing to him at all.

Chen Dandan’s eyes lit up immediately.

The old man’s words had inadvertently revealed something: The treasure obtained by Zhou Donghuang had been left behind by a middle Primal Core adept at best.

And her teacher was a supreme Primal Core adept!

The supreme Primal Core stage was a whole two levels above the middle Primal Core stage, which were as far apart as earth and cloud in terms of ability.

“Zhou Donghuang!”

With a murderous look in her eyes, Chen Dandan looked in the direction of the Valley of the Medicine Masters. “When I, Chen Dandan, return after restoring my practice, I will cut Lin Lan into a thousand pieces before your eyes, then do the same to you!”

“As for that Valley Lord Su Mo of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, since you have willingly become Zhou Donghuang’s dog, I will send you and your disciples along the same path!”

The Valley of the Medicine Masters.

The training grounds.

After Su Mo borrowed Head Elder Yu Mei’s flying demon and personally sent off a youth dressed in a robe whiter than snow, Yu Mei and the other elders of the Valley of the Medicine Masters left.

The two protectors of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, Wang Tao and Yu Wei, seeing that Su Mo and the youth had ridden away on the flying demon, left as well.

Suddenly, only the crowd of disciples of the Valley of the Medicine Masters was left in the vast training grounds.

Now, this crowd of disciples of the Valley of the Medicine Masters was still seething with excitement. “I never imagined that I would actually be able to see a Primal Core adept!”

“I had heard that the Primal Core adepts of legend could fly through the air, but legends are just legends, and deep down in my heart I didn’t quite dare believe it. It was only when I personally witnessed that elder flying through the air today that I finally believed those legends.”

“The same goes for me too.”

The appearance of the Primal Core adept succeeded in attracting the attention of all the disciples of the Valley of the Medicine Masters present and completely refocused their attention.

However, once their discussion about the Primal Core adept had died away, the topic of conversation once again returned to the youth in white.

“That youth called ‘Zhou Donghuang’ has actually been acknowledged as Master by the Valley Lord?”

“If I had not seen it with my own eyes, I would not have believed it even if you were to beat me to death: Our exalted Valley Lord, the mightiest person in the region of the Sixteen Countries of the East Valley, actually acknowledged a youth who looks like a nineteen-year-old as Master!”

“I really don’t know what the Valley Lord is thinking.”

“We will not be able to even guess his innermost thoughts.”
