Lu Sheng stared calmly at the Deep Blue Modifier in front of him, despite the seemingly painful self-immolation.
His consciousness had already clicked on the Enmity Fire Devil Body secret art several times in that short period of time.
The Enmity Fire Devil Body only had three levels. Under his constant modification, he reached the second level in a very short period of time. He could break through to the third level at any time.
But he did not continue to click on it. The Devil Qi he had stored up was rapidly recovering, and could completely satisfy the requirements for the last level. But he did not do it immediately.
"With this kind of training method … I can feel my body growing stronger and stronger …"
Lu Sheng waited quietly, waiting for the Annihilation-Grade Poison Fire to burn his entire body. The nine Yin Demons were providing him with Prime Devil Qi in a frenzy. At the same time, they were rapidly absorbing the Devil Qi from the River of Poisoned Fog, converting and storing it.
This was a very strange state. It was as if all the impurities in his body were being burned away, and then the necessary parts were being filled up by the Devil Fire, mixing with new flesh and blood to form a new body.
Lu Sheng could feel himself growing bigger.
His original six-meter body continued to expand. Slowly, he grew to seven meters, and his body became more and more bloated. His arms grew thicker, and countless muscle tumors piled up. Only his face, which had not changed much, was embedded in the middle.
His whole body seemed to be developing in the direction of the Alien Behemoth he had seen before.
"I'm getting uglier …" Lu Sheng was expressionless. He did not need to look in the mirror to know how ugly he was now. This was also why he was often unwilling to use Yang Extreme Mode.
The black flames burned, burning away the parts of his body that were less resistant to fire, and then forming new, more resistant tissues.
Lu Sheng's body also grew bigger and heavier with this change. Large amounts of Resentment Level Poison Fire spread out from his body, burning the surrounding cave until it became more solid.
All the impurities turned into black smoke, leaving behind a crisp, dry black powder.
"The third level … let's begin." After adapting for a while, Lu Sheng felt that he could control the changes in his body. He slowly stretched out his left arm and clenched lightly in the air.
A clump of black flames rushed up from his palm. The flames trembled in mid-air, and then exploded. They turned into three ropes that slowly revolved around Lu Sheng.
Chi!
Psst psst!
The three ropes suddenly extended out countless thin, silk-like tentacles, completely covering Lu Sheng's head, almost covering his entire face. He couldn't breathe.
All the threads formed a black mask, covering Lu Sheng's face.
Buzz …
The mask trembled slightly, emitting a dark purple glow.
…
White Bell City, Wisdom Garden.
Located on the east side of White Bell City, next to the moat was the Wisdom Garden. It was a private garden that was used for sightseeing and sightseeing.
The entire garden occupied almost the entire eastern corner of White Bell City. They even cut down a part of the city wall to connect the Hui Garden to the outskirts outside.
By the time Lu Sheng arrived, the sky had already darkened. The entrance to the Wisdom Garden was a round arched white stone door. On both sides of the door were statues of unknown divine birds that looked like phoenixes.
There were guards dressed as city guards guarding the perimeter, and there were also many horse carriages and Red Sun carriages parked outside.
The so-called Red Sun carriages were carriages pulled by red goats. The goats had been cleaned to the point of extreme cleanliness. Groups of three goats pulled one carriage each. This was the most popular carriage for nobles in White Bell City.
Lu Sheng and Chen Quansong walked down from the carriage. Looking at the lively yet uncrowded crowd inside and outside the Wisdom Garden, their expressions were different.
Although they were both invited, Chen Quansong was barely qualified. On the other hand, Lu Sheng was invited under Shangyang Fei's name. There was a huge difference between the two.
But Chen Quansong couldn't be jealous even if he wanted to. In terms of strength and potential, he couldn't compare to Lu Sheng.
"Now I finally understand Brother Lu's persistence …" Chen Quansong looked at the endless stream of people entering the Wisdom Garden. The weakest among them was at least Three-Vein or Four-Vein. His was barely the most basic.
Only a genius like Lu Sheng was the star of this Wisdom Garden gathering.
He had been fighting for power for a long time. Here, he could easily get what he wanted in one night.
Lu Sheng smiled. If Shangyang Jiuli hadn't asked him to come, he wouldn't even bother with this boring gathering.
Shangyang Fei was powerful, but it had nothing to do with him. If he had the time, he might as well cultivate and complete his new Devil Body.
"If what Li Shunxi said is true, then what's the point of this gathering?" Lu Sheng's gaze swept across the crowd at the entrance of the Wisdom Garden.
Some of the young nobles were unrestrained, using beautiful women and handsome men as stepping stools when they got off the carriage.
Some were loudly discussing current events. Some were indifferent and low-key, not showing off.
But all the nobles here had one thing in common — they were young. There were middle-aged men, but not many. As for the elderly, there was not a single one.
"This Wisdom Garden is famous in the circle. I hope Brother Lu can win the heart of a beauty this time," Chen Quansong said sourly.
"What do you mean?" Lu Sheng asked casually.
Chen Quansong was about to answer when he was interrupted by someone beside him.
"Brother Chen, long time no see. How have you been?" A short and fat man with a beard that reached his chest walked towards Chen Quansong with a smile.
"Brother Zhao." Chen Quansong had no choice but to respond.
Lu Sheng was quickly introduced into the circle. But he was indifferent to others, not warm and friendly. Soon, people stopped talking to him.
Once he entered the Wisdom Garden, people immediately came to receive him. Small banquets were set up, attracting many guests. Different banquets were located in different parts of the garden.
Some had a few stone tables in the forest, while others had grills in the pavilions to roast vegetables and meat.
There was also a musician in a corner of the forest to play music for everyone to enjoy.
The maid led Lu Sheng to a white pavilion. There were a few people standing inside.
"Here." Shangyang Jiuli was there too. She raised her cup at him from afar.
Beside her stood a few disciples of the Shangyang Family and some of the smaller families. These people were similar to her in that their temperaments were colder and their expressions calm. One look and you could tell that they were not weak.
Lu Sheng walked over quickly and greeted Shangyang Jiuli.
"I've sent one of the gifts for what happened last time. I'll accept it on your behalf. I'll send it to your Prime Devil Sect later. Relax and don't think too much about it during this Wisdom Garden gathering. Don't let it go if you have the chance. "Shangyang Jiuli said something inexplicable. She didn't introduce Lu Sheng to the people around them.
"Peipei." She gestured to a girl on her left.
"Miss Jiuli." The girl wore a long white chiffon dress. Her face was charming, and her body was sexy and voluptuous. Her long silver hair fell to her back, which was quite unique.
"This is my general, Lu Sheng. I'll leave him to you today. Make sure he's satisfied. Otherwise, I'll hold you accountable later!" Shangyang Jiuli instructed.
The girl called Peipei smiled and looked at Lu Sheng carefully.
"Since it's Miss Jiuli's order, Peipei will naturally do her best. Don't worry. "
She knew of Lu Sheng. Among the younger generation of Shangyang Family, there were three people with the most potential, excluding those of the main family. Lu Sheng was one of them.
He was born in the Northern Lands. His bloodline was mysterious and unknown. The family had tried to investigate him, but they stopped after his mother's generation. His mother was not from the Northern Lands. Instead, she was adopted by a mortal family.
Lu Sheng was originally just a mortal. Unexpectedly, his bloodline was awakened midway and he rose to power. Some of the elders in the family guessed that he might have the bloodline of a hidden family from a small island in the Frozen Ocean.
Judging from the abilities he had displayed, he should have the bloodline of a Yang Divine Weapon. The family had an informant who had specially prepared a data sheet and analyzed it.
Judging from how this person had always taken care of the Lu Family, this Lu Sheng was someone who valued relationships. He was not someone who would forget his roots after a meteoric rise.
That was why the family's plan was to rope him in and integrate his bloodline into the Shangyang Family. As long as he was tied to the Shangyang Family's war chariot, this kind of talent could be used by the family.
This was also one of the true sources of power for the Nine Great Families of the Central Plains. They constantly absorbed the outstanding bloodlines of the outside world. This way, the remaining descendants' bloodlines could be even stronger, and it would be easier for them to resonate with the family's Divine Weapon. Even if they could not become a Divine Weapon Master, it would be easy for them to master a Holy Weapon and become extremely powerful.
Peipei's beautiful eyes darted around. She grabbed Lu Sheng's hand.
"Young Master Lu, come with me. We'll go receive your apology first. There are also a few other young masters and young mistresses. They're all gathered in the bamboo forest on the other side. You're all elites of the Shangyang Family. It's good to get to know each other, isn't it?"
Lu Sheng shrugged off.
"You go. I'll follow."
His expression was calm, completely ignoring Peipei's sexy attire.
Peipei didn't mind. She led Lu Sheng through the crowd and into a small path from the side.
After passing through the small path and over a small bridge, there was a quiet bamboo forest on the other side. The faint sound of an ancient zither floated out from the forest. There was also someone wielding a sword with one hand. Silver light flashed and white light flew. From afar, one could feel a chill coming straight at them.
On both sides of the bamboo forest were many hills and slopes. There were many benches and tables placed in between.
The most amazing thing was that these hills had holes of different sizes on the sides for people to enter and exit.
At the sides of many of these holes, Lu Sheng could see naked men and women entangled with each other.
Some of them were half-naked, trying to resist, while others were leaning against the stone walls and trying to break free. There were also some who were bold and unrestrained. A few men and women were together in a cave on a hill.
Peipei walked in front. She seemed to be used to this scene.
"The reason why the Nine Great Families of the Central Plains have been able to maintain such a large number of people is because of this Affinity Meeting."
At this point, Lu Sheng looked at the sparse group of men and women standing in the bamboo forest. He understood.
Shangyang Jiuli still didn't give up. Shangyang Ruo didn't work out, so she would find another way to pull him into the group. Wasn't this so-called affinity meeting just a blind date? It was an unrestrained blind date, where they would do it as soon as they saw eye to eye.
"Affinity Meeting. As long as there is affinity in your heart, it doesn't matter if you're willing to get married or not. We just want one night." Peipei suddenly stopped. "We're here."
Lu Sheng stopped as well. He looked left and right. It was dark all around. They were in the depths of the bamboo forest, where there were no lanterns.
The sound of the zither was faint and not very clear.
"Previously, Lady Jiuli mentioned to me about you and Miss Shangyang Ruo. To make up for our impoliteness last time, the family has decided to open a special place in Affinity Meeting to you, the Red Pavilion," Peipei said gently.
