54 Emperor Bone (2/2)

The flickering of the golden light on the Jade Pillars was like the breathing of a newly born creature. However, it wasn’t enough for the Jade Pillar to just flicker with golden light. The next step was to integrate the rhythm of its flicker with the others so that they could synchronize with each other. Thus, Wang Lu adjusted his breathing, causing the flicker of light from this bone to harmonize with the others.

However, this step was still not enough, because this harmonization was only achieved through Wang Lu’s deep meditation. Once he relaxed his breathing, the rhythm would turn messy again. However, no matter how talented Wang Lu was, it was impossible for him to always be in the state of deep meditation—unless he intended to be a vegetable.

Thus, the next goal was clear: try to get these bones within control without the master directly controlling them. To achieve this, Wang Wu came up with a plan, which was to use the rhythm harmonization of these two hundred and six Jade Pillars, which symbolized their energy excitation, to create a brand new bone.

This newly born bone was a cut above the rest. Once born, it would force the rest of the bones to synchronized with it, thus achieving harmonization without the need to meditate. Therefore, this piece of bone could be called as Emperor Bone.

Having reached this stage, regardless of Wang Lu’s many criticisms of his master, he had to admit that this self-made method was a proper Immortal Cultivation Method. Although the eighth layer of the Non-Phase Sword Bone merely completed the Body Refining Stage, it contained sophisticated technique. The effectiveness of this sword bone was completely above any mortal world’s martial art. After spending two years in the sect, he had witnessed many Immortal World’s methods and techniques. Not to mention those Qi gathering techniques that didn’t emphasize on the body refining, even some Foundation Establishment techniques of body training paled in comparison to this eighth layer of Non-Phase Sword Bone!

However, behind the high gain, there was always the high risk. While Wang Lu was still deep in meditation and trying to grow the Emperor Bone according to the method on the note, a change suddenly occurred.

He suddenly felt excruciating pain coming from the two hundred and six bones in his body, as if they have completely shattered. It was painful enough to destroy the mind of a normal person.

Wang Lu’s breathing nearly turned into a mess. Fortunately, he was a cultivator with extraordinary perseverance. Soon, he forcefully put this astonishing pain under control. However, the next moment, the newly born Emperor Bone suddenly jerked; the pain that it caused was several times stronger than the previous pain!

The reason for this was simple. Since the Emperor Bone was born an “emperor”, how could it let itself be commanded by Wang Lu?

The moment this Emperor Bone was born, the other two hundred and six bones immediately surrendered to it. It then commanded these two hundred strong armies to raise a rebellion against Wang Lu.

At this critical juncture, the immense pain caused by this Emperor Bone went beyond reason. Wang Lu’s painstaking psychological line of defense instantly fell apart! His body suddenly flung like a bullet!

Unsurprisingly, he found himself about to suffer from qi deviation the next moment; soon, his body would shut down. But at this moment, the Lady Boss who was watching over him came to the rescue.

Bam!

The action of the Lady Boss was simple and brutal; she shot her palm at Wang Lu’s chest where the heart was located.

At the same time, the Emperor Bone, which rose a rebellion inside Wang Lu’s body, suddenly shook as if it was struck by lighting! A moment later, it calmed down and became silent.

Wang Lu’s whole energy which converged in that Emperor Bone actually lost to a single palm strike from the Lady Boss!

Having settled the Emperor Bone, the rest of the bones also settled down as the pain slowly receded.

Wang Lu slowly opened his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Just now, the changes that happened to him were too sudden and contained many twists and turns. There was a moment where the excruciating pain almost shredded his mind, and right now, although his bones had settled down, the residual pain would still sometimes flared up. Fortunately, it wasn’t too difficult to resist them. However, when he recalled it afterward… That moment was really dangerous! If the Lady Boss’s action was even a tad slower, then everything would be off!

No wonder before leaving. his master had repeatedly exhorted him to find someone to guard him. Had he had no one to assist him in this kind of situation, the moment he broke through the eighth layer of the Non-Phase Sword Bone, he would die without a doubt. However, he was saved because he had the Lady Boss who turned the tides for him...

“How do you feel now?”

As the hero, the girl asked with a face full of concern.

Wang Lu cleared his throat. “Minister, many thanks for pacifying the rebellion. Zhen [1] will grant you a hereditary title of Iron Hat King [2].”

“Get lost.”
