'There's still no news from the Yellow Springs Planet. With Mi Guangying there, it shouldn't be a problem. However, time is running out. '
Lu Sheng recalled what he heard recently about the war between the Green Branch Sect and the Mother Of Pain. Both sides were at a temporary truce, but this was like the calm before the storm.
It was said that many Confusion Realm experts had died on both sides. Some Void Underworld beings were even heavily injured.
Both sides were truly enraged.
However, it was not just this side. Libra City was very far from the Yellow Springs Galaxy. Hence, the focus was elsewhere.
The neighboring galaxy, the Yujue Empire and Libra City officially formed an alliance.
Libra City's status rose greatly. The Yujue Empire gradually sent people to Libra City to rotate their armies.
The Yujue Empire was extremely powerful. Its territory occupied almost the entire galaxy. It was a true colossus.
For Libra City to be able to form an alliance with it, it was clear that it was extremely powerful as well. In the eyes of the galaxy's organizations, Libra City had become the Yujue Empire's outpost.
Such a slow invasion was the most troublesome. When the news spread, Libra City's reputation for fairness and justice plummeted.
Recently, Lu Sheng saw many shops and stalls on the streets closing down. Every day, he heard that many organizations' branches had left the main city.
However, the higher-ups of Libra City still insisted on maintaining contact with the Yujue Empire.
'Looks like there's no place in the world that's absolutely safe. The only place that's truly safe is with one's own fists,' Lu Sheng thought to himself.
"Please have some tea. Here's a dessert platter. "
Toram Bach served him hot tea and desserts.
Her identity could not be exposed. She was also a rare Poison Person like a Silverblood. She could not even go out as she pleased. She could only hide at Lu Sheng's place.
Otherwise, if she was captured by outsiders, she would have to bleed for money again.
"I'll need to cultivate in seclusion for now. Wear the disguise jacket I bought for you. Be careful when you buy groceries and cook. Buy a copy of Distant Star Daily every once in a while. Pay attention to the Yellow Springs Planet No. 3. In addition, wipe the dust off the formation in the courtyard regularly. Don't touch the black crystal in the middle. "
"Got it."
Toram Bach nodded seriously.
Lu Sheng let her be in charge of his food and drink. On one hand, he would have a servant to take care of trivial matters. On the other hand, he also hoped to study the silver blood in her body and see if he could absorb it into his own power system to increase his strength.
He was an unorthodox person to begin with. If he saw something useful, he would try it out first, regardless of the consequences.
"Also, I've been robbing the rich to help the poor recently. I've earned quite a lot of ice money. Put all of it in a small room at the side and activate the formation. Don't let anyone come close, "Lu Sheng thought for a moment and warned.
This ice money could not see the light of day, so it was not good to deposit it into a card.
"Understood." Toram Bach nodded.
"That's all. Lu Sheng thought for a moment. He didn't have any additional instructions, so he gestured for her to leave.
After Toram Bach tidied up the room, he walked over and started to inspect the Descent Formation again.
Naturally, no one was allowed to interfere with such a crucial formation.
If he wanted to descend, he had to be quick and save time.
This time, he chose to descend on the world with the greatest flow of time. After all, his main goal was to understand the reincarnation heart.
He would have a chance to make up for the loss of his spirit later.
He prepared the materials, replaced the worn parts, replaced the consumed black crystals, and filled in the missing formation veins. He also checked the control restriction he had placed on Toram Bach.
All sorts of work was done. Lu Sheng busied himself until past nine at night before he finally finished.
"Dong … Dong …"
As he sat cross-legged in the center of the formation, Lu Sheng could faintly hear the heavy sound of an ancient bell coming from outside.
"Two rings. Is that a welcoming bell? Looks like some important person has arrived in the main city … "
"Buzz!"
The formation slowly lit up with red light. Streaks of red light shone along the formation veins on the ground. As time passed, the black crystals embedded in the formation began to tremble. Large amounts of red streaks flowed out from beneath the black crystals.
"Pcchht!"
All of a sudden, all the black crystals shattered. Streaks of red streaks rose into the air and weaved a huge rhombus-shaped frame in midair.
In the center of the frame, a gray dot grew larger and larger, expanding rapidly. Soon, it formed a gray rift entrance identical to the one before.
'The Yang Essence after entering the Confusion Realm seems to have gained something. It's much easier to open the rift, and the passageway is much more stable …' Lu Sheng made a judgment in his heart, but he did not slow down at all.
His long robe suddenly slid off his body. He shrunk and transformed into a ball of black light. With a whoosh, he shot into the rift and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
…
…
The rich fragrance of wine wafted into his nose.
Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were wet. They were hot and swollen. He seemed to have cried.
He was sitting in the empty, luxurious banquet hall. He was sitting in the main seat. He wore a purple embroidered robe. The embroidered robe had a four-clawed black dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. It was unusually ferocious.
There was an inexplicable sense of decadence and sorrow in his mind. A stubborn thought kept echoing in his mind.
'The West Cliff Empire will definitely prosper for thousands of years! Definitely! '
'This is going to be fun …' Lu Sheng was slightly speechless. The identity of the person who had descended this time was a true prodigy, a relative of the emperor.
This world was completely out of his expectations. He had clearly chosen the one with the fastest time flow.
Although the energy level was uncertain, there was a certain connection between the flow of time and the energy level. The greater the difference in flow of time, the greater the difference in energy level.
Logically speaking, the faster the flow of time in the Small World, the weaker the energy level. However, this time, Lu Sheng vaguely felt that something was amiss …
The identity of the person who had descended was Huang Jing, the crown prince of the West Cliff Empire's Moon Prince.
In his memory, the West Cliff Empire had a vast territory and abundant resources. It had a long history and had been passed down for thousands of years. There were dozens of generations of emperors. Its territory was so vast that it would take at least a dozen years to travel from one end of the empire to the other on horseback.
However, what was unusual was that the West Cliff Empire had been glorious for thousands of years. It was now heading towards inevitable decay.
The entire empire was content with enjoying themselves. They valued culture over martial arts, and they did not care that the empire was heading towards decline.
The foreign clans at the borders were rising, and there were internal undercurrents. The people everywhere had no way of making a living. Their salaries were heavy. Coupled with the continuous natural disasters, the vassal lords were powerful and disloyal.
The entire empire was like a ship that could fall apart at any time. It could be capsized and sunk if it was not careful.
What shocked Lu Sheng the most was that there were immortals in this world.
Moreover, they were not ordinary immortals.
They were Empress Wa!
In the Hua Xia civilization, Empress Wa was another name for Nüwa.
'Nüwa is here?!' While Lu Sheng was shocked, he carefully combed through the memories of Huang Jing, who had descended into him.
The successive emperors of the West Cliff Empire would offer sacrifices to Empress Wa to pray for peace and prosperity in the empire.
What made him even more speechless was that aside from the presence of Nüwa, there were also two great Taoist sects with great influence here — the Spring Autumn Sect and the Indefinite Cult.
The two great Taoist sects kept infiltrating the West Cliff Empire. They used so-called Taoist elites to bewitch the empire with various Immortal Arts and Spirit Spells and provoked war. However, nobody knew their motives.
These Taoist sects did not want the resources offered by the imperial court. They did not want high positions and generous salaries either. They came and went unpredictably. They lived in seclusion in the mountains and caves all day long. If they did not come looking for you, you would not be able to find them.
Each of them was otherworldly. Only when they sent their disciples to fight occasionally did people realize the wonders of their techniques.
Lu Sheng casually picked up a wine cup. He slowly rubbed the delicate celadon patterns on it.
'This world is very complicated …' Although he was confident, he was not confident that he could face an ancient great god like Nüwa.
After all, as a Hua Xia citizen, he had grown up listening to the myths and legends of Nüwa.
'If she's really the great god Nüwa, then the energy level of this world is far beyond my imagination. However, the flow of time here is clearly much faster than in the Heavenly Devil World … 'Lu Sheng frowned deeply.
'Could it be that this Nüwa isn't the Nüwa I know?'
He thought back carefully. These immortals and Taoists were indeed powerful. Some of them could behead someone from ten thousand miles away. Some of them were unafraid of water, fire, blades, and spears. They could walk freely in the smelting furnace.
Some of them could fly in the air and spit out five-colored radiance when they opened their mouths to crush mountains and rivers.
However, these were powers that only Taoist cultivators had. Mortals could not come into contact with them. Even if they did, they would encounter ghosts or demons.
If a mortal was taken into a Taoist cave abode and taken in as a disciple, they would have to sever their mortal ties with their parents, wives, and children. From then on, they would have to forget their emotions and completely integrate into the Dao Sect to transcend mortality.
'They're really on two different levels.' Lu Sheng shook his head slightly. He stood up and shook his robe. A soft maidservant immediately approached him and supported him.
"Crown Prince, be careful!"
The maidservant's voluptuous chest rubbed against his arm faintly, as if she was caressing him intentionally.
However, Lu Sheng did not have time to care. His mind was filled with information about the Dao Sect Taoists and Nüwa.
After being supported by the maidservant to the bedroom to rest, Lu Sheng lay on the bed and thought about his original body's karma and will.
'It's a little difficult to extend the light from providence for the West Cliff Dynasty …'
If it was just an ordinary dynasty, Lu Sheng could easily subdue it after recovering some of his main body's strength.
However, this was a world with immortals and gods. If he wanted to extend the light from providence for such a great dynasty, the requirement for strength was rather high.
Before understanding the strength of this world's so-called immortals, Lu Sheng did not intend to act rashly. It was better to keep a low profile and improve his strength first.
'First, I have to come into contact with this world's main cultivation system …' Lu Sheng quickly filtered the relevant memories from Huang Jing's memory.
Although mortals could not reach the level of immortals and gods, they had systematic martial arts cultivation methods. However, these methods relied heavily on one's innate talent.
Moreover, there were immortals and gods above them. No matter how strong they were, they were only at the level of mortals.
Lu Sheng did not forget that the main purpose of his Arrival was to understand the Reincarnation Heart. Completing the karma was secondary.
He lay on the bed and carefully sensed the condition of this body.
Excessive consumption of alcohol and women, unstable vitality, absent-minded, and insufficient Qi and blood. The age of his bones was about seventeen or eighteen years old, but the age of his internal organs was already forty or fifty years old.
'This is a little troublesome. I need to recuperate for a while. No wonder I was able to Arrive so easily. It turns out that this body is too weak. If this goes on, even if I don't Arrive, I'll probably suddenly die soon. '
He carefully used his Yang Essence to repair his body. His Yang Essence converted over ten types of energy. Soon, he found the structure of Qi and blood that was compatible with this world's rules. Then, he rapidly circulated it in Lu Sheng's body to replenish it.
'I'll look for the Moon Prince tomorrow and think of a way to get in touch with the cultivators of this world. Let's see if I can poach some of them.'
As the only son of an empire's prince, he should have some authority.
