Chapter 286 - 253: Public Resentment, Emperor Dragon Qi, Military Evil Qi
With a thought, Xu Qing began to practice and meditate on the Life and Death Law. He held a Top-grade Law Stone in his right hand, absorbing its Energy.
...
[Experience +1]
...
[Experience +1]
...
In six seconds.
Xu Qing had already meditated on the Life and Death Law a full one million times. The Level 1 Life and Death Law had also accumulated one million Experience Points in that short span.
...
[Life and Death Law LV1: 1,000,000/1,000,000 (Upgradeable) (...)]
...
In his mind.
Corresponding information appeared.
"Mm."
Xu Qing nodded lightly. ’Upgrade the Life and Death Law.’
WHOOM!
The moment the thought formed.
The Encyclopedia of All Things shimmered with a brilliant light.
In his mind.
Xu Qing’s consciousness seemed to be pulled into a mystical space. Within this space, he comprehended and cultivated the Life and Death Law, perceiving the mysteries of the Law of Life and Death.
...
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Life and Death Law LV2: 0/2,000,000 (Having comprehended the Life and Death Law, you have entered the first layer of the Life and Death Law, ’Fetal Birth,’ initially grasping the ’Divine Power: Life Rhythm.’ You have now grasped ten percent of the Life and Death Law and the ’Power of Fetal Life and Death.’)]
...
The relevant information appeared.
The upgrade was complete.
The Life and Death Law had been raised to Level 2.
At the same time.
Xu Qing had naturally mastered the Life and Death Law, grasping ten percent of the Law of Life and Death. The Life and Death Law was now the third Pattern Technique Xu Qing was cultivating.
"Mm."
Xu Qing contemplated the mysteries of the Life and Death Law. He raised his hands. The palm of his left hand filled with an aura of death, while his right palm filled with an aura of life. The two were in opposition, yet they formed a cycle.
Faintly.
It seemed as though Life and Death and Reincarnation were two sides of the same coin.
「Late that night.」
On the 9th Layer of the Cangzhou Prefecture.
Somewhere.
"My lord."
Yue Yun had changed her attire. She was no longer a graceful and noble Princess Consort, but a cold and alluring woman dressed in black.
At this moment.
Standing before Yue Yun was a middle-aged man of unknown origin and identity. He was also dressed in black, his figure hidden in the darkness.
"Is the matter settled?"
The middle-aged man of unknown origin and identity asked, his tone indifferent and cold.
"Reporting to my lord, the matter is settled."
Yue Yun nodded. "In all of Cangzhou Prefecture, there were originally only eight Refiners who had reached the peak. With the appearance of that Ouyazi, she is now the ninth."
"Everything has gone just as you predicted, my lord."
"The eight peak Refiners have all accepted the Pattern Techniques you bestowed upon them. These eight Pattern Techniques are: the Heaven and Earth Law, the Yin-Yang Law, the Light and Dark Law, the Joy and Sorrow Law, the Square and Circle Law, the Static and Dynamic Law, the Big and Small Law, and the Withering and Flourishing Law."
"The last one, the ’Life and Death Law,’ has been given to Ouyazi."
"Good."
The middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction. "You’ve done well."
"Hm?"
Suddenly.
The middle-aged man’s expression turned to one of shock, a trace of horror showing on his face. He looked in Xu Qing’s direction. "Just now..."
"The aura of the Life and Death Law."
"Are you certain you gave the Life and Death Law to Ouyazi today?"
The middle-aged man asked in a low voice.
"Yes."
Yue Yun nodded with certainty.
"Huuuh..."
The middle-aged man took a deep breath.
Clearly.
The middle-aged man was utterly astonished. If Yue Yun wasn’t lying, it meant that this mysterious Ouyazi had actually mastered the Life and Death Law in a single day.
Such speed.
Such aptitude.
Such monstrous talent.
It was simply indescribable.
It was truly and utterly shocking.
"Ouyazi."
The middle-aged man had already calmed down. He said in a low voice, "No matter your origin or identity, now that you’ve fallen into my trap, you cannot escape."
"Send more people to keep a close watch on Ouyazi."
Finally.
The middle-aged man gave the order.
"As you command."
Yue Yun nodded respectfully.
WHOOM!
The moment he spoke.
The middle-aged man vanished into thin air. From the beginning of their meeting to the end, the middle-aged man had never revealed his true face.
However.
To be able to command a Marquis’s Consort, this middle-aged man’s identity and background were certainly not simple. Moreover, he even dared to target the eight peak Refiners of Cangzhou Prefecture.
Therefore.
This middle-aged man had to be an extremely powerful figure within Cangzhou Prefecture.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye...
「One month later.」
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
Qing Province.
The armies of Qing Country, led by King Yingtian, were clashing with the Yuanwu Army of the Great Zhou Martial Country and the Eight States Alliance Army. A war that could affect the entire world had erupted...
Now.
This war had already lasted for a day and a night.
However.
While everyone expected the armies of Qing Country to be utterly crushed by the Eight States Alliance Army and the Yuanwu Army in a complete rout, that was not what happened.
The result was not so.
In the shadows.
Many factions were supporting Qing Country. The Blood Demon Sect, in particular, had mobilized a great deal of resources from various provinces to assist King Yingtian.
Unfortunately.
Even so.
Qing Country’s defeat was only a matter of time.
Logically speaking.
The Blood Demon Sect’s influence spread across almost the entire Great Zhou Martial Country. Its leaders couldn’t possibly be ignorant of the principle that the nail that sticks out gets hammered down.
And yet.
The leaders of the Blood Demon Sect still had the Qing Province branch assist the Qingzhou Dragon Prince in ascending the throne, establishing ’Qing Country,’ and even taking the title ’King Yingtian.’
