Chapter 256: Meeting King Zhou

Translator: TransnEditor: Transn

Minghe walked among the crowd in Zhaoge City, which was more prosperous now than last time he had been here. This should be attributed to King Zhou, who scored political and military achievements and even revitalized the Shang Dynasty to become much more powerful than the period when his father Emperor Yi was in governance.

It was time to meet King Zhou since 30 years had passed. The Battle of Gods Investiture started from praying in the temple of Goddess Nvywa. King Zhou was greedy for the beauty of Goddess Nvywa and wrote a poem which angered her. Therefore, she summoned Three Evil Spirits of Xuanyuan Tomb to interrupt the administration of the government, so as to trigger resentments across the nation and encouraged revolts from vassals. This provided an opportunity for Xiqi to build the Zhou Dynasty.

However, the origin of the battle was odd. King Zhou was an emperor, no matter how lecherous he was he should not be so bold as to violate Goddess Nvywa. After all, immortals existed in this era. Moreover, why can't King Zhou's subordinates erase what he, a mortal, had written? There must be a reason.

Before King Zhou was born, Minghe had instilled wisdom in him and helped him to retrieve his memories of several previous lives. With the Book of Life and Death in hand, recalling one's previous life memory was a piece of cake for Minghe. So how could King Zhou not know that the Sage could not be violated and still wrote that poem to offend Goddess Nvywa?

However, if the Shang Dynasty wasn't in chaos, how could Minghe lead the Clan of Humans, the Clan of Enlightenment and the Western Religious Sect to the trap? So Minghe came to see King Zhou. The palace was more magnificent than his father Emperor Yi's. Besides, there were also some rules in its layout, with a tactical formation set in secret. It was built by the Luck of the dynasty and could not be broken in by anyone lower than Da Luo Golden Immortal.

Looking at the palace layout, Minghe shook his head and smiled. King Zhou was very careful. The Human Tribe was the ruler of Heaven and Earth and the most powerful one in Untainted Land. Although the Holy Land of Human Tribe didn't expand, who would be brave enough to risk offending the whole Human Tribe to kill their emperor, which equates to playing with fire?

Minghe found King Zhou through his Spiritual Thought, who was in cultivating in the hidden room. There was a little strange, with a black flag floating above his head, black smoke around his body, and an odd shadowy figure behind him with three heads and six arms, which was similar to the Ashura body cultivated by the Ashura Tribe in the Blood Sea.

Minghe nodded his head. King Zhou had a good aptitude. Although he was born in the Human Tribe, he succeeded in cultivating the Dharma Laksana of Shura. He was only 32, however, he got the cultivation of Golden Immortal which others might not be able to obtain in their whole lives. But the vital force around him was wholly concealed. Unless the cultivator was higher than that of the tactic demonstrator or King Zhou was willing to expose himself, his weirdness wouldn't be found.

The tactic demonstrator was Minghe. So in Untainted Land, even the Sages might not see through what Minghe had done to King Zhou. Seeing that King Zhou was so diligent to cultivate himself, Minghe was satisfied. It was worthwhile for him to teach King Zhou, but now it was time to repay him.

One step forward, Minghe had already been in the hidden room. Watching King Zhou absorbed in cultivation, he quietly called, ”Di Xin, wake up!” Although the voice was not loud, it had the power to reach into one's soul and got into King Zhou's mind like a clap of thunder. King Zhou woke up suddenly with a panic look on his face.

After figuring out who called him, King Zhou was shocked. He stood up from the cultivation terrace and kneeled down, saying, ”Your Ancestor, for I... No, Wu Zhiqi didn't know of your presence, please excuse me for not going out to meet you.” It's true that King Zhou was the incarnation of Wu Zhiqi, the Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey whose Origin had been taken by Minghe. The appearance of Minghe shocked him.
