Chapter 1006

"Old Hei, you've already broken the limit to become an Eleven Tribulations True Person; do you have any thoughts about stepping onto the Imperial Monarch Great Dao?" Inside the Changxing Star Island Garrison Commander's Mansion, Xu Jin suddenly had an idea.

"Thoughts?"

Guan Laohei grinned with wine breath and smiled bitterly, "How could I not! I have cultivated bitterly until now, and have served as the garrison commander of the Changxing Star Island on the very front line, charging into battle with my head tied to my belt.

From the very beginning, it was so that one day in the future, I could touch the Imperial Monarch Great Dao.

According to the rules of our Tongxuan War Zone, a garrison commander who accumulates five first-place annual battle merits can be granted a copy of an Imperial Monarch's enlightenment insights.

In there, at the very least, three sets of Imperial Monarch breakthrough insights will be recorded.

To this day, my cultivation base has already reached the threshold of an Enlightened Imperial Monarch, and I have already accumulated four first-place annual battle merits; I am only missing one.

But now..."

As he spoke, a silent bitter smile appeared on Guan Laohei's mouth, and a bowl of strong wine went down his throat again...

This was probably a person's greatest helplessness.

The goal he had struggled for so bitterly was about to be in his hands, but...

"So, you are actually at the threshold of an Enlightened Imperial Monarch, but you lack an object to guide your enlightenment?" Xu Jin asked.

"Who doesn't lack this?"

Guan Laohei smiled bitterly, "Those who naturally become Enlightened Imperial Monarchs are one in a thousand among Nine Tribulations True Persons! Under normal circumstances, if I continue to cultivate bitterly and seek enlightenment for another three to five hundred years, perhaps there is a thirty percent probability that I can naturally become an Enlightened Imperial Monarch.

But in the current situation, let alone three to five hundred years, it is hard to say if I can live for another three to five years.

But if I become an Enlightened Imperial Monarch, the death tribulation before me can be broken."

Xu Jin was even more moved upon hearing this.

If he could help Guan Laohei become an Enlightened Imperial Monarch, there would be many benefits for him.

"Originally, I thought that if I obtained one more first-place annual battle merit, I could obtain a copy of an Imperial Monarch powerhouse's enlightenment insights from the war zone. This could at least increase my probability of becoming an Enlightened Imperial Monarch by half a percent, or even make it possible for me to become an Enlightened Imperial Monarch in the short term.

But now, the Tongxuan War Zone has clearly shown that they don't trust me.

I'm afraid that even if I establish battle merits, they won't reward me!

As for experiencing the power of the Forbidden Domain Source Flow, that is even more impossible." At the thought of this, Guan Laohei felt a little discouraged, and even his spirit was somewhat low.

Suddenly, his path became completely gray.

"Old Hei, you must answer my next question honestly; you must not have the slightest bit of exaggeration." Xu Jin's expression suddenly became serious.

"Great Sage, I have never spoken falsely before you," Guan Laohei said.

"Old Hei, you should have guessed that I have another master; I won't waste words on that. Because of this, I am also clear about the matter of becoming an Enlightened Imperial Monarch.

There are about five known ways to assist enlightenment. Among the common ones, the first is the Imperial Monarch enlightenment notes you just mentioned, which increase the probability of enlightenment by half a percent to one percent, depending on the person.

Then, if I let you experience the power of the Forbidden Domain Source Flow once, how much would your probability of becoming an Enlightened Imperial Monarch increase?" Xu Jin asked.

"If I experience it once, it should be able to increase the probability by one percent."

"What if you experience it a few more times?" Xu Jin asked.

"That is hard to say; one percent or two percent are both possible, depending on the person, but in general, the enlightenment-assisting effect of experiencing it more times is always good."

As he spoke, Guan Xiaoxing shook his head, "Let alone a few times, being able to experience it once is actually a great stroke of luck for me; looking at it now, it is completely impossible."

"What if I directly give you a strand of the Forbidden Domain Source Flow you specialize in to assist your enlightenment consumption?" Xu Jin said again.

No matter how slow Guan Laohei's reaction was, under Xu Jin's continuous questioning, he reacted somewhat, "Great Sage, such a thing is impossible.

Even if you have an Imperial Monarch as a master, it is basically impossible to have such treatment."

"Answer my question!"

"If the first three are combined, I have about a thirty to forty percent probability of becoming an Enlightened Imperial Monarch!" Guan Xiaoxing said.

"What if I give you a few more strands of the Forbidden Domain Source Flow you specialize in, for example, three or even four?" Xu Jin asked.

"Even an Imperial Monarch's own son doesn't have this treatment!" Guan Laohei shook his head.

"Continue answering the question."

"There is a fifty to sixty percent certainty; I have no way to be sure about any more.

No one has a hundred percent certainty about becoming an Enlightened Imperial Monarch."

After finishing, Guan Laohei smiled and raised his wine bowl, "Great Sage, come, cheers! Today you came, I'm happy, let's get drunk!

Perhaps, in my dream, I will be reincarnated as the own son of a Great Forbidden Imperial Monarch, a dream of being an Imperial Monarch; perhaps that can give me some hints."

Xu Jin did not raise his wine bowl, but looked steadily at Guan Laohei and said, "Old Hei, I can give you all three things I just mentioned; do you want to try becoming an Enlightened Imperial Monarch?"

Guan Laohei was stunned, looked at Xu Jin steadily for a few moments, and then laughed, "Great Sage, we don't joke like this!"

"I'm not joking!"

"Really?"

"Really!"

Just as he spoke, Xu Jin moved his divine sense, triggered a strand of Gold-system Forbidden Domain Source Flow to manifest, and said again, "Have you forgotten about the healing matter just now?"

Guan Laohei was stunned again.

Xu Jin placed five jade slips in a row before Guan Laohei, "These are five copies of Imperial Monarch enlightenment notes; you can look at them as you please, but without my permission, you are not allowed to pass them to outsiders.

Also, I can take you to experience the power of the Forbidden Domain Source Flow.

I can also give you a few strands of the Gold-system Forbidden Domain Source Flow you specialize in, directly giving them to you so you can mobilize, use, and comprehend them.

Of course, for the first two, you only need to make a simple Great Dao oath.

If you want to use the third one, you need to make an extremely poisonous Great Dao oath.

You know, if this matter is exposed—that I, a Second Tribulation True Person, can use the Forbidden Domain Source Flow of an Imperial Monarch powerhouse—I will absolutely die without a burial place."

After Xu Jin finished speaking, he looked quietly at Guan Laohei, waiting for Guan Laohei's decision.

This matter was not purely a whim of Xu Jin's at this moment.

He had considered it before.

The initial idea was to cultivate Zhu Linxiao to become an Enlightened Imperial Monarch as soon as possible, even if it meant piling up resources.

Zhu Linxiao's current cultivation base was an Eight Tribulations True Person, and Nine Tribulations was coming soon, but to become an Enlightened Imperial Monarch, she still needed a lot of time for accumulation.

Later, he thought of several senior brothers.

But he didn't have suitable Forbidden Domain Source Flow on hand.

Now, seeing Guan Laohei's predicament, he suddenly had such an idea.

The key was that he knew Guan Laohei's roots and bottom, so he could be used with peace of mind.

Under Xu Jin's inquiring gaze, Guan Laohei looked steadily at Xu Jin for a long time, then twisted his own thigh hard before laughing, "It's not a dream; Great Sage, should I adopt you as my foster father?"

"Sure!"

Xu Jin assumed a serious posture, looking like he was about to adopt a foster son.

"You wish! Besides, foster sons love to devour foster fathers the most; forget it! I'll make the most poisonous Great Dao oath... No, that's not enough!" Guan Laohei suddenly negated himself.

"What's not enough?" Xu Jin was puzzled.

"I mean this insurance isn't enough!"

"What insurance?"
