Chapter 1048: Dou Cangqiong's Ring (Second Update, Requesting Everything)

To be honest, there really is such a possibility, though the probability is not high.

Li Zhangsheng naturally does not hope for such a coincidence, otherwise his plans would be disrupted; after all, he is currently preparing to go to an alien plane to take refuge for a period of time.

Sometimes it is never good to be in the limelight too much, not to mention there are several potential enemies; the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong is one thing, but what is feared is the Profound Emperor personally taking the field or sending people to deal with him.

To the Profound Emperor, although it would not be a case of crushing Li Zhangsheng with a single finger, it would not be much harder; he would be equivalent to nothing more than a slightly larger ant.

There is no way around it; one can only blame the massive gap. As long as the Profound Emperor summons an Emperor Rank Demon Pet, what does Li Zhangsheng have to fight with?

Of course, the possibility of the Profound Emperor taking the field is extremely low. Unless his subordinates are incompetent or the interests involved are too great, Emperors rarely take the field personally; they prefer to remain behind the scenes.

It is just that one should not fear the ten thousand, but rather the one-in-a-ten-thousand chance; Li Zhangsheng has been far too high-profile recently.

Defeating the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong, occupying the Langya Kingdom and slaying the Demon Commander, as well as the prying of the Lord of Dawn Lathander—all these things have undoubtedly pushed Li Zhangsheng to the forefront.

Therefore, Li Zhangsheng feels he needs to be more low-key in the near future; it would be best to find a place to hide, and the best choice is to head to an unfamiliar plane and return only after the limelight has passed.

"You have been inside?"

Li Zhangsheng stared at Zuo Qiulin, fearing that he might have been reckless enough to enter the unknown Plane Teleportation Array.

The unknown represents opportunity, but it also represents danger.

"No, but this old man took away the Space Crystal of the Teleportation Array!"

While speaking, Zuo Qiulin took out a Space Crystal the size of a soccer ball and presented it to Li Zhangsheng.

"Well done!"

Li Zhangsheng nodded with satisfaction; Zuo Qiulin's approach was indeed seasoned and most in line with their interests.

In this way, unless the other party has other means, they cannot rely on the Teleportation Array to enter the Elf Plane.

Li Zhangsheng did not accept the Space Crystal and instead gave it directly to Zuo Qiulin.

He had a Space Crystal the size of a millstone in his possession, with a volume several times larger than this one.

At this moment, an attendant reported to Li Zhangsheng that Mu Chuhe had arrived.

Li Zhangsheng nodded and gestured casually.

"Announce Mu Chuhe for an audience!"

Soon, a delicate-looking youth entered the Chongming Palace.

Mu Chuhe appeared very cautious; after seeing Li Zhangsheng, he kept his head lowered, not daring to offend the imperial countenance, and respectfully bowed to Li Zhangsheng.

"Mu Chuhe pays respects to His Majesty the All-King!"

Mu Chuhe stood with his waist bent, his demeanor respectful.

Back when they were in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, Mu Chuhe had the fortune of seeing Li Zhangsheng a few times, but the two had never interacted.

Mu Chuhe never imagined that after a mere two or three months, Li Zhangsheng would have grown to such a level, and even conducted a transaction with his own family, while he himself was fortunate enough to become a target of Li Zhangsheng's cultivation, with the prospect of becoming a King within a few years.

This time, Li Zhangsheng had taken the initiative to summon him for an audience, and Mu Chuhe subconsciously assumed that Li Zhangsheng wanted to get familiar with him.

"Rise!"

Li Zhangsheng flicked his sleeve, and Mu Chuhe stood up involuntarily.

"The reason I summoned you here this time, besides getting to know each other, is to incidentally improve your strength, so that you and your family can rest easy!"

"Many thanks, Your Majesty!"

Mu Chuhe suppressed his excitement; Li Zhangsheng stood up and led Mu Chuhe to the backyard.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng took out six jars of Spirit Essence.

Among them, three jars of Spirit Essence were identical.

After opening the seals, countless blood auras gathered, transforming into four different Divine Beast phantoms.

They were the Shangyang, Xiangliu, Guiche, and Ancestral White Dragon, among which the Guiche phantom was the clearest, formed by the convergence of the blood aura from three jars of Spirit Essence.

Seeing the four Divine Beast phantoms, Mu Chuhe's lips trembled with excitement, because they each corresponded to four Lord-tier Demon Pets in Mu Chuhe's possession that were on the verge of a bottleneck.

After taking a deep breath, Mu Chuhe finally suppressed the excitement in his heart, but his eyes were still filled with excitement, agitation, and joy.

Li Zhangsheng had read Mu Chuhe's detailed files; among his many main Demon Pets, there were three of the Commander Species, and all of them had yet to break through.

Thus, Li Zhangsheng prepared to use evolution to let them attempt a breakthrough.

The subsequent process became simple; Mu Chuhe summoned the corresponding four Lord-tier Demon Pets, all of which had reached Lord 9th Rank and had previously attempted to break through, only to fail every time.

The four Demon Pets could not wait to Devour the Divine Beast Essence Blood, and were soon enveloped by lights of various colors, releasing Pressure.

This bit of Pressure naturally could not affect Li Zhangsheng; he watched quietly, silently calculating their breakthrough probabilities.

In Li Zhangsheng's observation, Mu Chuhe's four Demon Pets consisted of two of top quality and two of Superior Quality.

According to Li Zhangsheng's experience, the two Superior Quality Demon Pets had a good chance of having their quality upgraded to top quality during the evolution.

In this way, except for the Demon Pet that absorbed the three jars of Guiche Spirit Essence, the breakthrough probabilities of the other three Demon Pets were not much different; adding their original breakthrough probabilities, they were roughly between twenty and thirty percent.

As for the Demon Pet that absorbed the Guiche Spirit Essence, the probability was somewhat higher, but it could not exceed forty percent.

Unlike the calm Li Zhangsheng, Mu Chuhe appeared very nervous and full of anticipation, his eyes fixed on the four Demon Pets without blinking.

If all four Demon Pets happened to break through, then he could attempt to break through to become a King.

Of course, such a probability was minuscule, less than a 1% possibility, which could be completely ignored; the most likely outcome was that one or two Demon Pets would successfully break through to the Demon King level.

Not long after, all four Demon Pets completed their evolution and, taking advantage of the rare opportunity, attempted to break through to the Demon King level.

Under Mu Chuhe's anxious waiting, three minutes passed quickly.

Suddenly, the Demon Pet that had consumed the Shangyang Spirit Essence showed a change, and wisps of Profound Mystery Energy appeared on its body surface.

Mu Chuhe's expression brightened, and he felt slightly relieved, then turned his attention to the other three Demon Pets.

Even if they could not break the threshold of Profound Mystery all at once, as long as they persevered, they would successfully become Demon King level Demon Pets in less than a year.

Mu Chuhe's main focus was on the Demon Pet that had consumed the three jars of Guiche Spirit Essence, as it had the highest breakthrough probability.

But until ten minutes had passed, none of these three Demon Pets showed signs of breaking through; only the Demon Pet with the Shangyang Bloodline had successfully broken through to the Demon King level.

From a probability standpoint, Mu Chuhe's luck could only be considered average.

Fortunately, after the Demon Pet with the Nine-Headed Bird Bloodline evolved, it successfully became a Demi-God Beast, and the benefit of a Demi-God Beast is that every time a breakthrough fails, the breakthrough probability does not decrease; it is certain to reach the Demon King level in the future, which can be considered a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

After sending away the exceptionally grateful Mu Chuhe, Li Zhangsheng immediately returned to the Secret Realm; in his hand was an extra Space Ring, as the Soul Imprint of Dou Zhangsheng's Space Ring had finally been completely dissolved after being soaked in the Divine Water for two months.
