Chapter 373: The Human Emperor's Daughter, the Three-Zhang Golden Dragon of Luck, and Heaven
The Human Emperor Bai Canglong?!
Zhou Sui was inwardly shocked; he knew Bai Sujie's background was astonishing, perhaps even hailing from some Integration family.
But he never imagined that she was actually the daughter of the Human Emperor.
And at the same time, the daughter of the only Great Vehicle Realm Cultivator of the Human Race.
This was practically a princess of the Human Race.
No wonder she held such a high status in Fengxi City and knew so many Refining Void Realm Cultivators.
This wasn't just an astonishing background; it was a background that reached the heavens.
As the daughter of the Human Emperor, this could no longer be described by mere overwhelming power.
He had previously wondered why Bai Sujie's Luck was so astonishing, seemingly condensing into a golden dragon of Luck; it turned out she was a princess herself.
"Zhou-lang, don't think that being the Human Emperor's daughter is anything special."
"In fact, I haven't received much preferential treatment."
"After all, my father has far too many children."
"He has a total of three thousand concubines, and over these years, he has given birth to at least tens of thousands of children."
"And I am merely one of them."
"It can be said that the status of princess is worthless and carries no special privileges."
Bai Sujie said helplessly.
Although she bore the identity of the Human Emperor's daughter, because her mother had already passed away, she had no maternal family to support her.
Even if her father was the Human Emperor, she could not obtain many cultivation resources.
Everything required her own effort.
Of course, more importantly, she did not have a deep bond with her father.
From childhood to adulthood, he had hardly taken care of her.
So she harbored a belly full of resentment, wanting to grow by relying on her own strength.
In the future, she would definitely make that deadbeat father look at her with new eyes.
"This!"
Hearing this, Zhou Sui twitched; he felt he was quite vigorous himself, having over a dozen Dao Companions.
But the Human Emperor, on the other hand, had directly married three thousand concubines—truly "mastering three thousand women."
And he had even sired tens of thousands of children; he was vigorous to an absurd degree.
Simply "old but still strong."
However, the man was a Great Vehicle Stage Cultivator with a very long lifespan, so it was quite normal to be able to have so many children.
It could be said that the Bai Family was also a super family among the Human Race.
After all, the Human Emperor's eldest son was already married with children, and it was said he had also sired many.
Over several generations, who knew how large the Bai Family's population had become.
It was no wonder Bai Sujie said she was not favored, merely bearing the title of the Human Emperor's daughter.
Because there were too many children, the Human Emperor might not even remember the appearance of every son and daughter.
"Since that is the case, why did you come to Fengxi City?"
Zhou Sui asked curiously.
After all, as the daughter of the Human Emperor, she would naturally live in the Imperial City.
That was the capital of the Human Race, gathering many elites and a vast amount of resources.
If one stayed in the capital, the resources obtained would be beyond what other places could imagine.
"As for that, it is naturally because staying in the Imperial City was uncomfortable."
"Plus, a thousand years ago, Fengxi Sister decided to come here to the Leiming Mountain Range to open up a new city."
"So I followed Fengxi Sister and came along."
"After moving away from the Imperial City, life was indeed very pleasant; at least it wasn't as stifling as the Imperial City."
"And there weren't so many worldly affairs."
Bai Sujie explained.
"So that's how it is."
Zhou Sui nodded; he was impressed. Bai Sujie's connections were indeed rock-solid. No wonder she could walk sideways in Fengxi City—it turned out the Fengxi City Lord was her sworn sister.
With such a Great Ability of the Integration Realm covering for her, wouldn't she be able to walk sideways?
One might ask, who would dare to provoke her?
"Do you have the Pill Recipe for the Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill?"
Zhou Sui asked curiously.
"Of course I do; this isn't a confidential matter."
"But are you thinking of refining the Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill?"
"That is a quite difficult task."
"Because the main ingredient for the Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill is the Two-Yi Yin-Yang Flower, which is a Sixth Rank Spirit Medicine with over ten thousand years of medicinal power."
"Wanting to obtain a ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicine is truly too difficult."
"Every ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicine is worth a fortune."
Bai Sujie sighed.
Even in the Spirit World, pills for the Refining Void Realm and Integration Realm were incredibly rare.
Every time one appeared, it was worth a fortune, enough to make countless high-level Cultivators break their heads trying to compete for it.
After all, the main ingredients for these Treasure Pills are too precious and too rare.
Spirit Medicine above the Sixth Rank must grow for at least ten thousand years.
One must ask, how many Cultivators have enough Longevity to wait for Sixth Rank Spirit Medicine to fully mature?
By the time it truly grew up, I fear their Longevity would have long since been exhausted and they would have died.
Furthermore, the Spirit World has developed for hundreds of millions of years, and many ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicines from before have long been picked clean by our predecessors.
Quite a few ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicines are newly planted.
But they still require time to wait for these Spirit Medicines to fully mature.
This also leads to the Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill being incomparably rare.
Even among the Human Race, every single such Pill is worth a fortune.
Basically, once one appears at an auction, it will be frantically snatched up by people.
"Are there seeds for these Spirit Medicines?"
Zhou Sui asked.
"Although these Spirit Medicine seeds are also very precious, they can still be found."
"Could it be that you want to plant these Spirit Medicines?"
Bai Sujie asked curiously.
If one were to plant these Spirit Medicines now, I fear it would take ten thousand years to mature.
Who could wait for such a long time?
If it were a Spirit Transformation Cultivator, I reckon that even if their Longevity were exhausted, they would be unable to obtain mature Sixth Rank Spirit Medicine.
"It is good that they can be found."
"There is no harm in trying."
"If it can succeed, then there will be no need to purchase other Spirit Medicines."
Zhou Sui smiled slightly.
To him, successfully planting Sixth Rank Spirit Medicine is not a difficult task.
As long as there is the help of a Fifth-tier Medicine Gu, one year is equivalent to a thousand years.
That is to say, while others need to wait ten thousand years for them to mature, he only needs to wait ten years.
A mere ten years; for a Spirit Transformation Cultivator, what does that count for? It is not worth mentioning at all.
Moreover, he can also plant the Spirit Medicine within the Mountain Sea Pearl space.
After all, the interior space of this Immortal Artifact is itself a massive Medicine Garden.
In the past, Changchun Daoist planted a large amount of Immortal Medicine within the internal world of the Mountain Sea Pearl.
If even Immortal Medicine can be successfully planted, let alone mere Spirit Medicine.
Therefore, he wants to plant a large amount of Fifth-tier Spirit Medicine and Sixth Rank Spirit Medicine in the Mountain Sea Pearl space.
As long as he obtains the corresponding Spirit Medicine seeds, he can plant them on a large scale.
When the time comes, he will be able to obtain a steady stream of Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pills, or perhaps other Treasure Pills.
He could even sell these Sixth Rank Spirit Medicines; without stepping out of his door, he could earn a large amount of Spirit Stones.
Of course, shipping on a large scale would certainly arouse the covetousness of other Cultivators.
However, selling one or two stalks is actually not a problem at all.
By then, even without needing to go to other places to take risks, he could obtain cultivation resources while stationed within the city.
If one can cultivate safely and steadily, why go to other places to take risks?
The reason he has achieved what he has today, besides the help of the Gu God Bowl, is most importantly his caution.
"Alright, I will help you look for these Spirit Medicine seeds."
"Just leave it to me."
Bai Sujie patted her chest; she was also very curious about just how far this man could go.
At the same time, in a certain place in Fengxi City.
The direct eldest sons of the three great Refining Void Families—the Zhu Family, the Ma Family, and the Shi Family—gathered in a secret chamber.
They were the Zhu Family's direct eldest son Zhu Longting, the Ma Family's direct eldest son Mapingyang, and the Shi Family's direct eldest son Shihongtu, among others; they were all Spirit Transformation Completion Cultivators.
At the same time, they were also the Cultivators in their respective families with the most hope of becoming Refining Void, and were held in high expectations.
"I believe you have all heard that news."
"That Ascender Zhou Sui seems to have gotten together with Bai Sujie."
"Today, someone saw the two of them holding hands inside the Dao Academy, being incomparably intimate."
Zhu Longting clenched his fists, feeling very unwilling.
Because he had been pursuing Bai Sujie for at least several hundred years.
But until now, she had never given him a good look.
How long has that pretty boy Zhou Sui been in Fengxi City? He actually captured Bai Sujie's heart.
He truly found it hard to understand in what way he was inferior to that pretty boy.
Could it be just because that bastard is handsome?
The problem is, he is not bad either; he is also a man of talent and appearance.
"Damn bitch."
"The few of us have pursued her for so long, and she doesn't even pay us any mind."
"A mud-legged fellow who ascended from the lower realm captured her heart in the blink of an eye."
"Is that woman completely blind?"
Mapingyang cursed loudly, his face turning green with rage.
One must know that in the past, he had put in countless amounts of painstaking effort to pursue Bai Sujie.
Yet he could not even manage to see her face.
But now, a mongrel from who knows where has easily possessed that woman.
He truly felt very unconvinced.
To tell the truth, he felt that his own status and position were far superior to that pretty boy.
Yet that woman had taken a liking to the other party, which was simply against common sense.
"Things have reached this point, what else is there to say."
"I suppose it's because our status is low and our strength is low that the woman doesn't look down on us."
"I just didn't expect the three of us to be jealous of each other for so long."
"Only for it to be snatched away by a mongrel who ascended from the lower realms, taking the first prize."
"This person deserves to die."
Shihongtu gritted his teeth, his body permeated with deep killing intent.
"That woman is the daughter of the Human Emperor."
"At the same time, she possesses the bloodline of a Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Fox."
"It is rumored that the bloodline of the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Fox has incomparably mysterious effects."
"If one has the opportunity to engage in Dual Cultivation with it, it can help a Cultivator break through bottlenecks."
"In the past, when the Human Emperor was still an Integration Great Power, he was stuck at the Combined Body Completion Stage and could not break through for a long time."
"But I don't know what methods the Human Emperor used to trick a Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Fox."
"As a result, the Human Emperor logically broke through the Integration bottleneck and successfully promoted to a Great Vehicle Realm Cultivator."
"However, because of this matter, the Human Emperor also offended the Fox Clan and was hunted down by many Great Vehicle Cultivators of the Fox Clan."
"In the end, I don't know what methods the Human Emperor used to settle this matter."
"And Bai Sujie has inherited part of the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Fox's bloodline, making her simply the best Cauldron."
"Although she cannot compare to a pure-blooded Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Fox, for other male Cultivators, she will certainly have miraculous effects."
"Therefore, Bai Sujie has countless pursuers, and it is not impossible that this is one of the reasons."
"If we could also become Bai Sujie's Dao Companion, perhaps we would have a chance to be promoted to Refining Void in the future."
"I believe you all know the difficulty of Refining Void."
"Even if we have the protection of our Old Ancestors, we may not necessarily survive the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation."
Zhu Longting said gloomily.
Speaking of this, the three of them thought of the terror of the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation in unison and could not help but shiver.
Under the Thunder Tribulation, all living beings are equal.
Even though they have accumulated for a long time, they have no confidence in surviving the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation.
At least ninety-nine percent of Spirit Transformation Completion Cultivators will perish under the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation.
Even with the protection of a Refining Void Old Ancestor, there is no way around it.
If one cannot withstand it, one will die and their Dao will vanish.
Therefore, many Cultivators have self-awareness and would rather waste their time than trigger the Heavenly Tribulation.
"That is correct."
"If the Refining Void Old Ancestors of our three families still had plenty of Longevity, we might still be able to take it slow."
"But the Old Ancestors do not have much Longevity left, at most they can survive for a few hundred years."
"If the Refining Void Old Ancestors fall, then our three families will decline and become Spirit Transformation families."
"At that time, the territory occupied by our families, as well as our many businesses, will be carved up by other Refining Void families."
"I don't know how many Refining Void families are eyeing the interests of our three families."
Mapingyang said with great helplessness.
The reason they are so anxious to be promoted to Refining Void is naturally because the Old Ancestors of their families do not have much time left.
The cultivation of the Refining Void Old Ancestors of the three families is currently only at the Refining Void Initial Stage, and their Longevity is only twelve thousand years.
If they could break through to the Refining Void Mid Stage, they might be able to increase their Longevity by four thousand years.
The problem is, how would the Refining Void Old Ancestors dare to break through?
Once they attempt to break through, it will trigger the Thunder Tribulation.
At that time, they won't even have the remaining few hundred years left and will definitely die under the Thunder Tribulation.
In the Spirit World, the Thunder Tribulation is like a sharp sword hanging over their heads, which could fall at any time.
If the Refining Void Old Ancestors die, and no new Refining Void Cultivators are born in the three families.
Then their family power will certainly decline from then on.
Of course, staying within the Human Territory, the families will certainly not be destroyed.
The problem is that having lost a large amount of interests and resources, the families will certainly fall apart.
They might even be kicked while they are down by other hostile families.
After all, over so many years, for the sake of the family's interests, they have done many harmful things.
They don't even know how many enemies they have hidden in the dark.
Once the families decline, it is hard to say whether those enemies will secretly strike.
"In that case, you all agree with the plan I proposed earlier."
"Dispatch a Transformation God Cultivator from the family to kidnap Bai Sujie."
"Then, cook the raw rice into cooked rice to help Brother Zhu break through to Refining Void."
Shihongtu said in a deep voice.
"Oh, are you really willing to give such a great benefit to me?"
Zhu Longting's eyes flickered; he was clearly somewhat moved.
However, he was no fool and would not be easily deceived.
After all, it was hard for him to imagine that the other two would not be tempted by such a benefit; this was clearly a trap.
"Of course we are willing."
"Our three great families are of one mind; helping the Zhu Family is naturally helping our two families as well."
"However, if you want to obtain such a great benefit, it is not without a price."
"It is said that your Zhu Family has also obtained a Sixth Rank Spiritual Medicine."
"I wonder if you are willing to part with it?"
Mapingyang smiled slightly.
"So you were eyeing my Zhu Family's Sixth Rank Spiritual Medicine; you certainly have a big appetite."
"But if it can lend me a helping hand, what does it matter if I give you the Sixth Rank Spiritual Medicine."
Zhu Longting suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
What he feared most was that the two wanted nothing, which would have hidden a massive conspiracy.
But since the other party had made a request, he was not so worried.
A Sixth Rank Spiritual Medicine is naturally precious.
But compared to the Dao path of the Refining Void Realm, it counts for nothing.
"Brother Zhu is indeed straightforward."
"Since that is the case, then it is settled."
Mapingyang and Shihongtu smiled slightly.
Deep within their pupils, a trace of unknown black light seemed to flicker, appearing extremely sinister and eerie.
"However, that Bai Sujie is a Spirit Transformation Completion Cultivator."
"And she is the Human Emperor's daughter, possessing numerous trump cards."
"I am afraid that successfully kidnapping her will not be such a simple matter."
Zhu Longting said with some hesitation.
"Brother Zhu, rest assured on this point."
"To successfully kidnap Bai Sujie, I have prepared a Sixth Rank Talisman, the Mishinfu."
"This kind of Sixth Rank Talisman can confuse even a Refining Void Cultivator, let alone a mere Transformation God."
Mapingyang smiled.
"If that is still not enough, I have also prepared a Sixth Rank poison—Dihuxiang."
"This poison contains a floral scent; even if one only comes into contact with a little bit, they will fall into a coma for three days and three nights."
"As long as we find an excuse to meet with her."
"With a calculated move against an unsuspecting target, this woman will definitely fall for it; even if she has trump cards, she won't be able to use them at all."
Shihongtu also stated the methods he had prepared.
"I did not expect Brother Ma and Brother Shi to be so well-prepared."
"It seems that with the help of you two, this mission will surely be a success."
"I wonder when we shall act?"
Hearing this, Zhu Longting was simply ecstatic.
He did not know how these two had found such rare trump cards.
These were assets that even a Refining Void Family would find difficult to produce; they were of immense value.
But looking at it now, with so many trump cards, he would surely succeed with ease.
He was already caught in a state of wild joy.
He simply wished he could immediately embrace the beauty, break through to the Refining Void Realm, and gain ten thousand years of Longevity.
But what he did not know was that wisps of black aura were silently seeping into his body.
It seemed these wisps of aura were clouding his reason, causing him to fall into madness.
"As for that, we can act late at night three days from now."
"At that time, we can catch that woman off guard."
Shihongtu smiled slightly.
"Good, then we shall act together three days from now."
Zhu Longting was very excited.
The three began to drink and chat together again.
After three rounds of drinks, Zhu Longting left, leaving only Shihongtu and Mapingyang behind.
Their eyes instantly turned into black spheres, and an eerie aura permeated their bodies.
"What a complete fool."
"He actually believed our words."
"This is the Human Emperor's daughter, after all; who knows what trump cards she might have."
"Even if we exhaust all our methods, we might not necessarily be able to kidnap her."
"This matter is bound to fail; it is simply blinded by greed."
Shihongtu sneered.
"Isn't this a good thing for our Puppet Race?"
"Once the plot to kidnap the Human Emperor's daughter fails, the three great Refining Void Families—the Ma Family, the Shi Family, and the Zhu Family—will surely face the Human Emperor's wrath, and it will be difficult for them to survive then."
"At that time, Fengxi City will also suddenly lose three Refining Void Cultivators and three Refining Void Families."
"To a certain extent, this also weakens a portion of the Human Race's strength."
"Moreover, this can also be an opportunity to test what kind of trump cards this Bai Sujie has."
"This kid can also help us probe the bottom line."
"It can be said to be killing many birds with one stone."
Mapingyang said indifferently.
"It was not in vain that our Puppet Race plotted for many years; finally, taking advantage of these two going out into the wild to adventure in the Leiming Mountain Range, our race's Refining Void powerhouse personally took action and captured these two."
"We even occupied their bodies, completely controlled their souls, and then used them as our puppets to probe intelligence on the Human Race's Fengxi City."
"By utilizing their identities and strength, we sow discord and weaken the Human Race's strength."
"Although this matter will not cause Fengxi City to suffer a mortal blow."
"But in the long run, as one Refining Void Cultivator after another dies, the Human Race will inevitably suffer heavy damage."
"By then, this region will also be controlled by our Puppet Race."
Shihongtu sneered repeatedly.
Clearly, he was no longer the previous Shihongtu, but merely a puppet controlled by a Puppet Race creature.
However, they were indeed not dead yet.
After all, if they were dead, it would be impossible to hide it from the Human Race's many Refining Void Cultivators and Integration Great Powers.
At the same time, their Soul Lamps would also extinguish.
But to a certain extent, they are now living in a state worse than death.
Because both their souls and bodies are controlled by the Puppet Race, and their intelligence has even been erased.
Even if they were to break free from control, there would actually be little difference between them and a vegetable.
"However, I must say, the speed at which the Human Race develops is truly too fast."
"I remember hundreds of millions of years ago, the Human Race was just a race that could be wiped out at any moment."
"Like savages, they could only hide in deep mountains and forests, not daring to appear anywhere else at all."
"But as one Human Great Ability after another appeared, they actually began to capture cities and seize territory in the Spirit World, and even built cities, thereby allowing a large number of Humans to multiply."
"To this day, they have already built one hundred and eight cities with a population exceeding a trillion, which now seriously threatens the living space of our Puppet Race."
"Especially that Human Emperor Bai Canglong, who is said to be a Great Vehicle Stage mid-stage Cultivator, and even has hopes of advancing to the Great Vehicle Stage late-stage in the future; he is simply a peerless genius, and his combat power is also extraordinary. By then, he might really be able to kill his way into our Puppet Race's ancestral land and exterminate our Puppet Race's Great Vehicle Stage Ancestor."
"Therefore, this must absolutely not happen."
"Now, we and the Human Race are already mortal enemies; either the Human Race dies, or we perish."
Mapingyang gritted its teeth.
As a member of the Puppet Race, it naturally felt the immense threat from the Human Race.
Do not look at the Human Race as just a small race now.
But the Human Race acts extremely steadily, which can be called advancing step by step.
Every time they go to a place, they first build a city.
Then, utilizing the power of the city, they constantly expand outward, encroaching step by step.
As long as the city is not breached, the Human Race's expansion cannot be stopped.
Over countless years, many races have fought the Human Race and suffered heavy losses.
Even when many races united to attack Human cities, they were all held back by the Human cities.
This has also made the Human Race's strength increasingly powerful, giving birth to a large number of high-level Cultivators.
To be honest, this has also made the surrounding races feel an immense threat.
They all want the Human Race to stop developing.
If they continue to develop like this, it will threaten the surrounding small races.
"Well said, let's use the Human Emperor's daughter to test the waters now."
"This Fengxi City will sooner or later be destroyed by our Puppet Race."
"We absolutely will not allow the Human Race to continue expanding on this land."
Shihongtu said eerily, his body permeated with deep killing intent.
"By the way, will that Zhu Longting discover anything?"
Mapingyang asked.
"Rest assured, even if he discovers something, it is already too late."
"I have already planted a Puppet Seed on him."
"His mind has long been confused by us."
"This plan is bound to be foolproof."
"Even if we cannot kidnap the Human Emperor's daughter, it will still make the three Refining Void Families disappear."
"This time, let the Humans fight among themselves like dogs."
Shihongtu was triumphant.
The thing it likes to do most is sow discord.
Over the years, the Puppet Race has lost count of how many times they have done such things.
Often, some races just die silently in internal strife.
The Puppet Race can also resolve those races without shedding a drop of blood.
……
Three days later, in the dead of night.
Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard, a residence.
Inside the Mountain Sea Pearl space.
At this very moment, a patch of open ground in the distance is planted densely with Spirit Medicine.
Every stalk of Spirit Medicine is permeated with rich medicinal power.
A dark green Gu Insect is seen flying over, dripping mysterious liquid from its body.
Boom~~
Immediately, these Spirit Medicines seem to have eaten a great tonic, growing rapidly.
It seems they possess a thousand years of medicinal power in a short time.
The entire Mountain Sea Pearl space releases vast medicinal Qi, making one feel relaxed and happy.
It is as if just smelling the wisps of medicinal Qi could cause one's own cultivation to improve.
"Not bad, not bad."
"In another ten years, these Sixth-tier Spirit Medicines will be able to grow into ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicines."
"As expected of the internal space of the Immortal Artifact Mountain Sea Pearl; the soil here is all Spirit Soil."
"It is very suitable for the growth of Spirit Medicine."
Zhou Sui strokes his chin, looking at the many Spirit Medicines in the medicinal field, feeling very satisfied in his heart.
These Fifth-tier Spirit Medicine and Sixth-tier Spirit Medicine seeds were naturally all found for him by Bai Sujie.
Then he planted them in the internal world of the Mountain Sea Pearl, and they began to grow sturdily.
To tell the truth, even though these are just seeds.
But as seeds of Sixth-tier Spirit Medicine, they are also of great value.
And even with money, one might not be able to buy them.
However, Bai Sujie is different; as the daughter of the Human Emperor.
Her sworn sister is also the Fengxi City Lord, which can be described as having a background that reaches the heavens.
If he needed other precious Spirit Medicine or precious Treasure Pills, he might not be able to find them.
But if it is just some Spirit Medicine seeds, then it is simply easy to obtain, and it cannot stump her at all.
One can only say that this is the benefit of having a background.
If Zhou Sui had to find them himself, let alone whether he could find them, even if he really could, he would probably not know how much time and how many resources it would consume.
This is the benefit of having a wealthy Dao Companion with a background.
It can help him save an unknown amount of time and effort; the benefits are simply endless.
Of course, even if other male cultivators know this, they cannot do it.
Even for "eating soft rice," there is a threshold.
Not just anyone can do it.
"Tsk tsk, the Luck Golden Dragon on my body has already grown to a length of three zhang."
"This is a bit too exaggerated."
"I just found a Human Emperor's daughter as a Dao Companion, and it actually let my Luck grow to this extent."
Zhou Sui moves his consciousness.
Through the Luck Gu, he immediately senses that the Luck on his body has skyrocketed.
Compared to before, it has skyrocketed more than a hundred times.
Because before, his Luck Golden Dragon was only three inches long, better than nothing.
But this is also a very normal thing; after all, he is not a native resident of the Spirit World, just an outsider.
Naturally, he cannot receive the protection of the Heavenly Dao.
The reason he had golden Luck at all was because the Luck brought from the Xuanhuang World was too much, which allowed him to have such a high starting point from the beginning; this was already quite good.
But now, the Luck Golden Dragon on his head is a full three zhang long.
From a certain perspective, this is already overwhelming good fortune.
He almost has a trace of the treatment of a Son of Luck.
So one can imagine the benefits Bai Sujie has brought him; they are simply immeasurable.
"Sure enough, Luck also changes."
"It is not immutable."
"If one encounters a noble person to help, one can naturally change their fate and reverse the Luck on their body."
Zhou Sui strokes his chin.
Clearly, since he has gained the favor of Bai Sujie, the Human Emperor's daughter, the benefits he receives are countless.
In his past life, he did not know how many wealthy people were once poor boys.
But they gained the regard of a wealthy daughter and the help of her family, thereby soaring into the sky.
This is the help of a noble person.
"However, fortune is what disaster hides, and disaster is what fortune relies upon."
"Sometimes, having too strong Luck is not necessarily a good thing; it will also be accompanied by Tribulation Qi."
Zhou Sui narrows his eyes, revealing a trace of Cold Glow.
He saw that not only had a Luck Golden Dragon appeared on his body, but a massive amount of Tribulation Qi had also emerged, like dark clouds pressing down upon his head.
It seemed as if wisps of Tribulation Qi were spreading across his entire body, and a murderous intent could arrive at any moment.
Clearly, this was after he had become involved with Bai Sujie.
The two parties were now one.
Having gained Bai Sujie's Luck, he would also receive the tribulations that came from Bai Sujie.
This was also an unavoidable matter.
"No way, the Tribulation Qi is actually this intense."
"Could it be that it will erupt tonight? And it's even a life-threatening disaster?"
Zhou Sui raised his eyebrows.
Through the aura of this Tribulation Qi, he instantly sensed the source of the approaching danger.
It seemed that enemies wanted to do something unfavorable to Bai Sujie tonight.
Whoosh!
Thinking of this, his figure flashed, and he immediately left the Mountain Sea Pearl space.
Heart Eye Insight!
In an instant, his Heart Eye Power spread out in all directions, easily covering the Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard.
Every single place was under the perception of his Heart Eye.
Moreover, because the power of the Heart Eye was far superior to the power of divine sense, even Refining Void cultivators or Integration Stage cultivators could not detect the perception of the Heart Eye Power.
He could easily spy on others without being known by them.
"Hmm?!"
Immediately, Zhou Sui sensed three sneaky figures appearing just outside the Dao Academy.
They had silently snuck into the Dao Academy, and their cultivation had reached the Spirit Transformation Completion realm.
One of them was none other than that eldest legitimate son of the Zhu Family, Zhu Longting.
At this moment, he could sense that these three were permeated with killing intent, Tribulation Qi, and deep malice.
Clearly, they had all entered the Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard with ill intentions.
The source of the Tribulation Qi was precisely these three.
"Mere three Spirit Transformation Completion cultivators; I'll just deal with them while I'm at it."
Zhou Sui was calm and composed.
Back when he was only at the Spirit Severing Initial Stage, he could already roam freely across the Spirit Severing realm.
Now that his cultivation had improved to the Transformation Spirit Mid-Stage, his strength was countless times stronger than before.
So naturally, he would not fear so-called Spirit Transformation Completion cultivators.
Whoosh!
The next second, Zhou Sui flashed and instantly arrived in front of Zhu Longting and the other two.
"Who is it?!"
Suddenly, Zhu Longting, Mapingyang, and Shihongtu were all given a huge fright.
They had originally wanted to sneak into the Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard quietly, bypassing everyone's perception to reach the place where Bai Sujie was.
Who could have imagined that they would be discovered the moment they entered the Dao Academy.
This was simply dying before achieving one's goal.
"Zhou Sui?!"
Once they saw the appearance of the person who had arrived, Zhu Longting, Mapingyang, and Shihongtu were even more shocked; they naturally recognized the identity of the man before them.
This person was exactly Bai Sujie's rumored Dao Companion.
He was also the guy they wished they could eliminate at the first opportunity.
However, their target this time was not this brat, but Bai Sujie.
Who could have imagined that the person who discovered their tracks would actually be this Zhou Sui.
For a moment, they didn't know what to say.
Could it be that this was heaven's arrangement?
"Daoist Zhou, what a coincidence; I didn't expect to run into you here."
Zhu Longting immediately calmed down and even greeted Zhou Sui enthusiastically.
Although being exposed by the other party was indeed an unfavorable matter.
But if they could stabilize the other party, they wouldn't have to blow things out of proportion.
After all, even if some trickery was truly discovered, they were currently only trespassing in the Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard.
They hadn't had time to do anything yet.
"It's not a coincidence."
"I came specifically to find you all."
"Sneaking into the Dao Academy, permeated with killing intent—are you trying to do something unfavorable to Sujie?"
"You don't need to deny it either."
"Even if you deny it, I won't take it to heart."
"Breaking into the Dao Academy in the middle of the night—this is a capital offense."
Zhou Sui said indifferently; he couldn't be bothered to waste words with them.
Since they were the source of the Tribulation Qi, these three must be intending to do something unfavorable to him and Bai Sujie.
For enemies like this, he had always had only one method, and that was to kill without mercy.
Once these words were spoken, the expressions of Zhu Longting, Mapingyang, and Shihongtu changed.
They sensed the killing intent on the other party immediately; this man was not joking.
He truly intended to strike and kill them.
Why on earth was this happening?
They had merely broken into the Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard, so how could they have provoked such murderous intent? Was this guy a lunatic?
Or had this guy discovered the secrets they were hiding, which was why he was acting so maniacally?
Although they did not know when they had been exposed, the only plan now was to kill this guy to prevent their scheme from leaking.
Thinking of this, their gazes began to turn ferocious and incomparably sharp, like those of wild beasts.
"What an idiot."
"A lowly creature who ascended from the lower realms, merely at the Spirit Transformation Mid-Stage, yet you dare to speak so boastfully before us."
"I originally didn't want to trouble you for the time being, but I didn't expect you to come knocking to deliver your own death."
"Then I shall grant your wish."
Zhu Longting's expression was savage, his body permeated with terrifying killing intent, and he immediately wanted to take out a Dharma Treasure from his person.
But just as the words fell, before Zhu Longting could react, Zhou Sui suddenly made his move, drawing his sword and striking with a terrifying sword light that traced a beautiful arc through the night sky.
It was as if this sword light had sliced the very heavens and earth apart, its speed reaching a hair-raising degree.
Even the power of divine sense could not detect when this sword light had appeared.
Thud!
The next second, a bloodstain appeared on Zhu Longting's forehead—no, it should be said that a bloodstain appeared down the center of his entire body, from head to toe, as if this mark had split him in two.
"Ho, how is this possible?"
Zhu Longting's eyes widened, his pupils filled with shock; only then did he realize he had been struck by a sword, and that this strike had split his body in two.
It had even split his Nascent Soul.
Because the speed was simply too fast, it had surpassed his sense of pain and even the speed of his thoughts.
By the time he realized it, he was already dead.
A violent pain then spread throughout his entire body like a tidal wave.
Following that, his consciousness seemed to fall into an endless abyss.
With a thud, Zhu Longting's body fell to the ground, and a large amount of fresh blood flowed out, staining the earth red.
"Damn it."
Seeing this scene, Mapingyang and Shihongtu were scared witless, their hair standing on end and their bodies trembling.
They realized immediately that the Human Cultivator before them was a monster among monsters, undoubtedly a peerless Sword Cultivator of the Human Race; otherwise, it would be impossible to kill Zhu Longting with a single strike.
Such power was simply beyond imagination.
Although they despised Zhu Longting's stupidity, they had to admit that the other party was a genuine Spirit Transformation Completion Cultivator with extremely powerful combat strength, not someone easy to deal with.
Unless a Refining Void Realm Cultivator was dispatched, who could kill Zhu Longting in an instant?
Yet now, the man before them had killed Zhu Longting with a single sword strike.
Such strength had already exceeded their imagination.
The man before them could definitely kill them easily as well, and without any effort at that.
Whoosh!
In an instant, Mapingyang and Shihongtu did not say a word, risking their lives as they tried to turn into streaks of light to leave this place immediately, attempting to escape with their lives.
Unfortunately, while they were fast, Zhou Sui's sword speed was faster.
Boom~~~
Two more black sword lights struck out, containing terrifying sword intent and killing intent, yet these sword intents were gathered at a single point and did not leak out.
This resulted in these two black sword lights being indestructible.
Thud!
Before Mapingyang and Shihongtu had taken more than a few steps, they followed in Zhu Longting's footsteps.
Their entire bodies were also split in two.
The terrifying sword intent instantly destroyed their Nascent Souls.
With only three strikes, Zhu Longting, Mapingyang, and Shihongtu were all killed, leaving not a single one behind.
"Hmm."
"There really was more to you than met the eye."
"But trying to escape under my nose is nothing but a pipe dream."
Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.
He instantly discovered that after he killed Mapingyang and Shihongtu, two black streaks of light seemed to fly out from the depths of their bodies, flying toward the distance at a speed that was truly astonishing.
These were clearly the Puppet lives lurking within their bodies.
Boom~~
At this moment, with a thought, he immediately activated the power of the Tribulation Thunder Gu.
Divine Firmament Tribulation Lightning!
Instantly, two invisible bolts of Tribulation Lightning locked onto these two auras, arriving in a flash, silent and soundless, yet swift and violent, containing terrifying destructive power.
"Ahhh!!"
They immediately let out shrill screams as their entire bodies were struck and instantly destroyed, the terrifying destructive power spreading through them, leaving them with almost no power to fight back.
With just a single strike, they were severely wounded and had almost lost all ability to resist.
"Don't think you can catch us."
These two Puppet Race creatures were both shocked and furious; they never imagined they would be so unlucky as to encounter such a terrifying human Transformation God Cultivator, it simply did not make sense.
Naturally, they did not want to fall into the hands of a human, otherwise the objectives and plans of the Puppet Race would certainly be exposed.
This would also cause a massive change to the future plans of the Puppet Race.
Immediately, they wanted to self-destruct and die.
"You want to commit suicide in front of me?"
"It's useless; even if you commit suicide, I can still obtain your Soul memories."
Zhou Sui was very indifferent.
Boom~~
The Dream Soul Gu struck instantly, a surge of Dream Realm Power shrouded them, and like a Nightmare beast, it swallowed these two black shadows in one gulp, instantly devouring them into its stomach to digest them rapidly.
These two Puppet Race creatures did not even struggle once before being instantly swallowed by the Dream Soul Gu.
A massive amount of Soul memories instantly submerged into the body of the Dream Soul Gu.
At the same time, two black seeds also fell to the ground, with dense Puppet Runes appearing on them, unfathomable.
