Chapter 39 - 39 Unpredictable Ruler
Editor: Henyee Translations
Zhu Wensi would never have thought that he would be implicated for no reason because Zhu Wuyang had been drugged.
This was really an undeserved calamity. However, to be honest, it was not unjustified. How could a fellow with a mental problem who spent all his time with pigs think of arranging for his trusted servants to enter the Crown Prince’s Palace?
Even if Zhu Wensi used the name of the chief eunuch of the palace, it would still arouse Zhu Zhenwu’s suspicion.
However, Zhu Wuyang did not expect that even though he had been drugged, the enemy still made it so obvious. The news was also known by the entire palace and quickly spread out. But he was still targeted by the Mad Emperor, Zhu Zhenwu.
Was Zhu Zhenwu blind or did he learn from Zhu Wuyang to beat him at his own game? By letting him study at the Qianqing Palace, he could monitor him at a close distance and ensure that he did not act out of the ordinary.
With Zhu Wuyang’s current attainments in the Azure Dragon Concealment Art, once he entered the Qianqing Palace, he would definitely be discovered by the Late-stage and Perfected Xiantian realm guards there. At that time, Zhu Wuyang would definitely not have a good ending.
Was this him outsmarting himself?
“Congratulations to the host for being guarded against by Emperor Zhu Zhenwu of the Jiu Zhao Nation for the first time in your life. You have obtained 18,000 breakthrough points…”
“Congratulations to the host for making a fool of yourself for the first time in your life. You have obtained 10,000 breakthrough points…”
… .
From the notification of the Extraordinary Encounters System, Zhu Wuyang knew that he had really made a fool of himself this time. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to increase his strength on the surface so that it would be easier to hide it later.
However, he did not expect that Zhu Zhenwu could not tell that he had been framed.
Moreover, Zhu Zhenwu had just sent him another piece of calligraphy to comfort him, telling him not to worry and to just be the Crown Prince.
It had only been a short while, but Zhu Zhenwu had already begun to guard against him. Could this be the legendary power of a monarch?
However, this was not the time to consider this. Because of this matter, Zhu Wuyang had obtained nearly 30,000 breakthrough points. With so many breakthrough points, it was definitely enough to increase Zhu Wuyang’s strength to the next realm.
After the five viscera were refined, it was the bone marrow refinement. The so-called Bone Marrow refinement realm was a stage for tempering the Qi and blood to a certain extent and entering the bone marrow, forming an instinct. Every move could easily mobilize the Qi and blood power in the body and erupt with astonishing combat strength.
This was the so-called martial cultivation.
The martial cultivation here referred to the power of Qi and blood. When a martial artist tempered their Qi and blood to this point, it meant that they had already become a master in the use of Qi and blood. Next, they could fuse with natural treasures and allow their Qi and blood to undergo an earth-shattering transformation, increasing the ability of a martial artist to attune to the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.
This way, they could better sense the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth and capture some into the body to form an inner Qi seed and step into a brand new stage.
The strange powers transformed from the breakthrough points was like a surging river, constantly pouring into Zhu Wuyang’s body. Under the effect of the Grand Earth Limitless Technique, it transformed into extremely pure Earth Qi and blood at an extremely fast speed.
The Qi and blood cloud formed by the Earth Qi and blood in Zhu Wuyang’s body began to expand at an extremely fast speed. Soon, it reached a radius of nine feet.
This was also the limit of the refinement of the five viscera. Immediately after, this cloud of blood and Qi began to condense and shrink, gradually condensing from a radius of nine feet to eight feet, seven feet, six feet…
As the Qi and blood cloud condensed, its color became deeper and deeper, and at the same time, it became more and more pure. Zhu Wuyang could clearly feel the increase in the power of the Earth Qi and blood.
“Ka…”
When this cloud of Qi and blood condensed to a certain extent, Zhu Wuyang vaguely discovered that there seemed to be lightning and thunder in it, making his entire body tremble.
Before Zhu Wuyang could react to what had happened, raindrops began to fall from the Qi and blood cloud that had already condensed to a radius of three feet.
Gathering clouds into rain!
This was the first step to advancing to the Bone Marrow Refinement realm!
When this cloud of Qi and blood completely transformed into dozens of drops of Qi and blood water, it rolled towards Zhu Wuyang’s bone marrow at an extremely fast speed. After being filtered by his bones, it became much gentler and began to hammer and nourish his bone marrows.
As his bone marrow improved, Zhu Wuyang could clearly feel that his strength had increased, far surpassing the previous realms. At the same time, his control over his Qi and blood was also rising, becoming more and more proficient.
Early-stage Bone Marrow Refinement!
When all the breakthrough points were absorbed by Zhu Wuyang, his strength had completely stabilized at the Early-stage of Bone Marrow Refinement, and his overall strength had increased by about three times.
Not to mention anything else, just in terms of strength, Zhu Wuyang’s strength had already reached about 50,000 catties. In the eyes of Earthlings, this was an impossible monster.
Even the top ferocious beasts on Earth could not possess such terrifying strength.
The so-called power of a giant elephant was a joke in front of Zhu Wuyang. Perhaps only the legendary Divine Dragon on Earth had such strength.
Earth blood essence tempered a martial artist in all aspects. Although the improvement of the bone marrow was the greatest, with the help of the increasingly dense and pure blood essence of the earth, Zhu Wuyang’s defense had also increased significantly.
At this moment, even a Blood Refinement martial artist would probably not be able to hurt Zhu Wuyang at all if he did not have a powerful weapon.
Zhu Wuyang’s current combat strength was so strong that he could firmly sweep through Blood Refinement cultivators. Only martial cultivators at the Inner Qi Seed realm could resist him.
The Bone Marrow Refinement realm was also the sixth realm of the Body Tempering stage. After crossing three more realms, Zhu Wuyang would be able to break through the Body Tempering stage and step into the Meridian Forging Realm.
From Zhu Wuyang’s transmigration to his advancement to the Bone Marrow Refinement realm, he had only used about two days. Even if the next few major realms required more breakthrough points, how much time could he spend?
His strength had increased so quickly that no one had time to react. Zhu Wuyang was in despair.
Initially, he wanted to increase his strength by a large realm, which would be more beneficial for him to hide in the future. However, he did not expect that not only did it not bring him any benefits, but it also caused him to fall into a hopeless situation. His strength soared further and he had stepped into a new realm.
It could be said that he had gone out for wool and come home shorn. What should he do next? Zhu Wuyang lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling weakly, considering how to get through this.
“Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the Early-stage Bone Marrow Refinement realm for the first time in your life. You have obtained 3,600 breakthrough points…”
“Congratulations to the host for facing a crisis for the first time in your life. You have obtained 3,000 breakthrough points…”
