Early in the morning.
The Divine Light Lake was shrouded in a watery mist. The Fine Jade Snow Palace was like a giant bird lying on the mountainside.
Maids in white robes had been flying in the woods like fairies, with bamboo baskets held in their hands filled with fresh flowers. These freshly picked flowers still had dew on them, and were used to decorate the palace. Some maids had been holding jade pots, collecting dew drops from the fresh flower petals. These dew drops were prepared to be used to make spirit tea.
Servants in black robes had been walking in the palace with light steps. They slightly waved their hands, letting a gentle breeze blow down along with a drizzle, washing every corner of the palace clean.
On a flat area beside the Divine Light Lake, Zhamu and over ten-thousand warriors had already carried giant rocks on their backs, leaping up like frogs. The dark skin of these slave warriors was thickly covered in sparkling sweat. Blood veins bulged under each of their skins. From time to time, as gravity spell symbols flashed across the surface of the giant rocks, these slave warriors gasped loudly, and the sense of power released from their bodies was as strong as that of boas.
On a nearby training field, over three-thousand human warriors had been gritting their teeth, holding sticks and attacking each other in pairs. These sticks were made from thousands of years old ironwood cores, and were carved with strengthening spell symbols to increase their strength and weight. Muffled thunder-like booms would be generated every time these sticks clashed against each other.
Occasionally, a warrior would be knocked down to the ground by a stick, and right after that, a commander standing on the edge of the training field would give him a heavy whip.
Both human warriors and non-humankind slave warriors had been training as hard as they could.
They clearly understood that in the future, they would all be working under Ji Hao's command. Therefore, their personal strengths and their performances would determine the treatment they and their families could enjoy.
In terms of social status, none of them was higher than the other. One side was the non-humankind, while the other side was the sinner. Both sides were sworn enemies, and if they wanted to live well, they would have to outperform the other side with their own efforts.
Among those family members, some older men and women stood out, and began busying themselves with the skills that they were familiar with.
Some of them were planting flowers and trees, some were cleaning the dead branches and leaves, some were taking care of the rare herbs and flowers, and some were taking boats to the small islands in the middle of the lake, taking care of the various spirit teas planted on those islands.
Some of them formed teams to patrol around, drive away wild animals, and maintain the peace of the garden. Some fished by the lake, and brought fresh lake food into the kitchen to enrich the food storage of the Fine Jade Snow Palace.
Everyone was busy, and even the children were doing what they could.
Everyone clearly knew that they were slaves, and slaves couldn't be counted as human beings. Instead, they were Ji Hao's personal property. If a slave dared to be lazy, he or she might be killed on the head to warn the others.
The Divine Light Lake was busy, but didn't make too much noise.
Ji Hao stood up from the jade hassock where he had been meditating last night, pushed open the side door of the secret hall, and walked to the terrace outside the hall.
Ji Hao stood up from the jade hassock that he had been meditating on last night, pushed open the side door of the Secret Hall, and walked to the balcony outside the Secret Hall. Below the platform was a lush forest of flowers, and a thousand feet ahead was a vast lake. Amidst the white mist, dozens of boats were shuttling back and forth on the lake.
A stream of morning light flashed across the mountains in the east and shone on the Divine Light Lake.
Ji Hao held his breath, and his primordial spirit came out of his body. His Magus Acupoints activated simultaneously, and a muffled, dragon-whirlwind-like noise came from his body.
Along with a swishing noise, the natural power transformed into visible streams of white mist and swooshed over, being absorbed by his Magus Acupoints. Suddenly, the sun rose from the east, and countless streams of pure purple mist poured down. Ji Hao popped out his eyes and took a deep breath.
All of a sudden, the sun rose from the east. Countless streams of pure purple mist poured down from the sky. Ji Hao popped out his eyes and took a deep breath. Above his head, the primordial spirit glowed brightly. Streams of purple mist were ceaselessly being absorbed by the primordial spirit, like birds flying into the woods. Ji Hao only felt that his entire body was warmed up. His primordial spirit had become much more condensed, and the power contained in his body had also been improved.
"Mountain and river stamper, out!" Ji Hao gave a deep growl. The mountain and river stamper flew out from between his eyebrows and hovered above the head of the primordial spirit.
After absorbing enough pure purple mist, an extremely pure stream of original spirit power began to stir inside the primordial spirit. Ji Hao moved his spirit power. A faint golden spot of purple mist flew out from the mouth of the primordial spirit, transformed into an extremely thin and long stream of purple light, and flew into the mountain and river stamper.
The mountain and river stamper shone brightly. The mountains and rivers on the surface of the stamper seemed to have come alive. Countless pictures of mountains and rivers sparkled. Within the area ten-thousand miles around the Divine Light Lake, the earth meridians and water meridians vibrated simultaneously. Waves of earth meridians and water meridians surged over like enormous dragons.
The connection between Ji Hao and the mountain and river stamper had been strengthened slightly, and he had gained a slightly better control over this natural treasure. Therefore, the power he could release from this treasure was slightly greater than before.
Suddenly, Ji Hao's body quivered. All the earth meridians and water meridians in the area ten-thousand miles in radius swooshed over, surging straight into his body through the Yongquan acupoints on his feet. The surging waves of natural power were like a flood. Wherever the natural power swept across, thin meridians were expanded one after another, and Magus Acupoints lit up one after another. They were forcibly awakened by this great natural power.
Ji Hao's spirit blood was like a raging fire, and his body was like a cauldron. His power surged and roared, flushing those newly awakened Magus Acupoints one after another.
Scorching hot sweat gushed out from Ji Hao's skin. Every single drop of sweat contained a terrifyingly great heat that could melt metal and stone.
Ji Hao's newly awakened Magus Acupoints lit up one after another. One hundred, two hundred, three hundred …
With the great power of the mountain and river stamper, Ji Hao had awakened over a thousand Magus Acupoints at the same time. The newly awakened power was as great as a ghost's power. Ji Hao's body suddenly grew taller by half a foot, while his bones and muscles swelled up one after another.
When Ji Hao sensed a great pain coming from every corner of his body, he stopped the mountain and river stamper, and the earth meridians and water meridians that were activated by the stamper silently stopped as well.
Ji Hao's entire body was releasing waves of scorching hot air, reaching hundreds of zhang high, which scared all birds in the nearby woods into silence, not daring to make even the slightest sound.
Ji Hao had been living like this for quite a few days. Every single night, he would cultivate himself as much as he could, and early in the morning, he would awaken all Magus Acupoints with the mountain and river stamper, improving his power at an amazing speed.
During the daytime, Ji Hao would either travel around with Man Man and Shaosi, or sit down and discuss cultivation with Po, asking him all kinds of questions regarding cultivation. In his spare time, he would concoct some magic medicines, concoct some pills, conveniently make a few swords and blades, and magic talismans. His life had been incomparably free and easy.
A big half a month had passed, and finally, people in Pu Ban City heard that the Chi Ban Mountain incident had come to an end. Emperor Shun, Si Wen Ming and the other human leaders had led their armies back triumphantly, and were only one day away from Pu Ban City.
Following this, a storm was brewing in Pu Ban City, and undercurrents were surging. Many people's minds were shaken.
This day, Ji Hao was listening to Po's teaching about geomancy and how to build a great defensive magic formation with the power of mountains and rivers. Abruptly, Zhamu walked in, politely kneeled on the ground and said, "Master, an elder of the Great Strength Water Ape Clan is here to see you!"
