289 Poaching (1/2)

A guess was one thing.

The truth was something else entirely.

Upon seeing Zhou Donghuang reply to the old man's question, not only did the old man's eyes widen in shock, but the other people present also drew in a sharp breath. At that moment, it seemed as if time had slowed to a pause.

”In the history of the Hengliu galaxy, even for those two Transcendental Forces, I don't think there has been any Dharma adept who has mastered Dharma Power Control.

”As far as I know, there were many Dharma adepts in the Hengliu galaxy that desperately tried to perfect their Dharma Power and worked hard to master the technique of Dharma Power Control... However, until the end of their lives, they were still unable to master the technique and could only progress to the Primordial Soul stage even after they had suppressed their progress for so many years. Otherwise, their lives would surely have ended!”

”I heard about that too, in fact, in the history of our Qingyun Guild, there were two ancestors who did precisely that... one of them was unlucky and only tried to advance to the Primordial Soul stage one year before his life was due to end, but in the end, he failed to reach the Primordial Soul stage and passed away.

”I thought that it was only in those galaxies that were filled with resources for training that a Dharma adept could master Dharma Power Control... I never would have thought that someone like that would appear in our Hengliu galaxy!”

”Zhou Donghuang, the Lightning Sword Sect disciple, has indeed made history in our Hengliu galaxy!”

...

At that point, the different disciples of the many Alliance sects were all amazed and excited that they were able to witness a piece of history.

Of course, there were also many disciples who sighed silently to themselves, as they felt that it was a real shame to be born into the same generation as Zhou Donghuang. They would surely find themselves inferior to Zhou Donghuang.

”This Zhou Donghuang... he really managed to master the technique of Dharma Power Control!”

In the far distance, Zhong Chengcai, a disciple of the Yuanyin Order, narrowed his eyes. He had never expected that Zhou Donghuang would be able to master Dharma Power Control.

However, after thinking about it again, as he thought about how Zhou Donghuang quickly and easily killed two ultimate Dharma demons that day, perhaps that was no coincidence?

Zhong Chengcai had always thought that those two demons had suffered from some disease that cropped up suddenly, and that allowed Zhou Donghuang to take advantage of their momentary weakness... but now, it looked like Zhou Donghuang had in fact managed to kill the two ultimate Dharma demons using his own strength.

”Is the Dharma Power Control technique really so powerful?”

”What should I do? I've already offended him twice... even if he did not take offense the first time, but from how I looked at him just now, he will definitely bear a grudge against me.

”In the future, when he gets even stronger, he will definitely kill me when he thinks of what happened.

”No way! I can't just do nothing and wait for my death!

”When I get back, I must get Father to think of a way to kill him before he gets even stronger than now... once he gains even more power, even Father, or even the entire Yuanyin Order, will not be able to contain him!”

At that moment, Zhong Chengcai made a determined decision.

If Zhou Donghuang knew what Zhong Chengcai was thinking, he would have thought that he was in a state of paranoia, worrying about nothing.

”He... has he really mastered Dharma Power Control?”

Luo Qinghan stood among the group of disciples from the Jihan Sect. In that instant, she could sense the looks of envy from many other Jihan Sect disciples. It was not hard to guess why they were looking at her with such envy; they were definitely jealous that she had a man like Zhou Donghuang.

Faced with this, she felt both helpless and bitter. ”I... when can I catch up to you?”

When Luo Qinghan had received the Deity-level ”Thousand-Star Sword Technique,” she thought that she would finally have a chance to catch up to Zhou Donghuang... but now, she could not help but doubt that. Did she really have the opportunity to catch up to someone like Zhou Donghuang?

Zhou Donghuang was clearly no less capable than that Zhuge Haotian.

Although she still did not know who that Zhuge Haotian was, through the last words that he had left her, it was not hard to guess that he was from a strong, prominent family that was most probably among the premiere star clans in the entire universe.

Otherwise, how could he just produce a Deity-level technique to give to her for her practice?

”Zhou Donghuang was sent to that lousy Ziyun planet by his birth father... my father guessed before that his biological father must have been someone of some background. However, now that I look at it, his real background would surely be no less than Zhuge Haotian. Otherwise, how could he reach such a level at such a young age and even master Dharma Power Control?”

Now, in the eyes of Luo Qinghan, Zhou Donghuang was already on the same level as Zhuge Haotian.

And Zhuge Haotian was someone that she would most likely be unable to catch up to in terms of skill, even if she converted to practicing the Deity-level, Thousand-Star Sword Technique.

”Maybe... it will never be meant to be between him and me...” sighed Luo Qinghan quietly.

”Zhou Donghuang.”
