The King of Black Fog

Chapter 1268 - 563: The Fifth Holy City (Part 2)

There, he attended a simulated court hearing — the teacher used the PPT he created.

The PPT wasn't important; what intrigued him at the time was how it was normal for law students to have mock trials, but why did lawyers also hold them?

He was a poor country boy, with no way to understand law firms. His superficial and uninformed impression was that lawyers were all elites; did they really need mock trials to go to court?

After the mock trial, the teacher explained to him — in cases with 'high monetary stakes' or 'significant complex disputes', law firms often conducted mock trials in advance.

They explored case handling from multiple angles, shared courtroom techniques and response strategies, anticipated the case's direction, and prepared for all contingencies, responsible to the case and the clients.

These words from the teacher, Li Changzhou still remembers to this day.

Now, he is no longer a law student, walking on the glorious and divine path.

With a flick of his finger, forget about lawyers, even laws would change, yet that spirit and behavior still guide him.

No matter what you do, thorough preparation is necessary.

On the crown of the Primordial Divine Tree, hundreds of Dao Flowers sway as laws intertwine.

"Boom!"

A small True Dragon crushed down from the void, tens of thousands of Dao Flowers swaying.

Golden Divine Sense emerged from Li Changzhou's brow, leaping to the treetop to battle the True Dragon.

Whoosh!

The treetop wildly swayed, laws intertwined, and the void shattered.

The information collected by Yafeiluna, along with Li Changzhou's own observations and experiences, formed the thoughts and style of this True Dragon; Dao Flowers provided the Divine Skills and spells of the True Dragon.

Aside from some hidden means, this imaginary dragon was no different from a True Dragon.

Not only Divine Skills and spells, but also its will; the imaginary dragon could speak, using words as weapons to disrupt and crush Li Changzhou's will.

Thousands of Dao Flowers swayed again, Corpse Bone Gene, Crown Princess, Always Invincible, Jade Emperor, Shakyamuni, The Three Pure Ones all swarmed up, instantly crushing the golden Divine Sense.

Pfft!

Li Changzhou spat out a mouthful of blood.

Luckily, this was a contemplation; though injured, he was not in danger.

The golden Divine Sense reconstituted, attacking once more.

When Li Qianxia emerged, Li Changzhou shared the profound meaning of 'ship' with her. Li Qianxia seemed enlightened, and continued to seclude herself.

Yang Qinglan also emerged from the Jade Cauldron once, her skin radiant, with light flowing from every strand of her hair.

"Three Thousand Great Dao, I can only invoke three hundred now; too much firepower is overwhelming and unbearable." She left her insights for Li Changzhou to transfer to Turquoise Pool and Li Qianxia.

Then, she took Li Changzhou's insights on 'ship' and Li Qianxia's experiments on 'Creation or Silence Mysterious Technique', reentered the Jade Cauldron, igniting her body with Dao Fire.

Thus, the four of them used Li Changzhou as a hub to continuously exchange experiences.

A Saint's 'Creation or Silence Mysterious Technique' and the environment of the Fourth Holy City allowed them to rapidly advance once more.

The outside world was chaotic, mountains destroyed, stars felled.

Yet, no matter how many streamers were watching, none discovered the presence of those supreme powers.

"Old Feng, can't you manage it; why haven't you found it yet?"

"I think you can't blame Old Feng for this; haven't you noticed? Since the Third Holy City, those supreme titans have disappeared."

"It must be that the value game has given them an edge!"

"Nonsense, as a fourteen-year veteran player, my deepest experience is: the value game's only way to express affection is to increase difficulty for you."

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

...

The comments were all 'agreed', spoken playfully, yet it contained the bitterness and tears of the people.

How many have died in the value game? Losing family, friends, comrades is all too common in these times.

"Perhaps these big shots have discovered something."

"The only current news is that when the strong like the True Dragon and the Tathagata left the Third Holy City, Divine Medicine voluntarily followed."

"Also, it's confirmed that the Black Fog Valley is the secluded place of the King of Black Fog; since the black fog disappeared, the Enlightenment Ancient Tree is also gone."

Since the Enlightenment Ancient Tree carried numerous Immortal Grass Divine Medicine voluntarily following, Li Changzhou did not leave any black fog in the valley, and when they left, some combatants ventured in to investigate.

"Does this mean these powers obtained Divine Objects following them in the Third Holy City?"

"Could these Divine Objects have been elevated in the Fourth Holy City? Perhaps transforming into an Immortal Scripture?"

Old Feng traversed another stretch of the Earthly Realm, collected some materials for making a ship, and while resting, glanced at the comments.

He replied to none of the comments, simply saying: "Dear viewers, considering Old Feng has forsaken the Third Holy City, grant me more treasure donations to recover some strength!"

In countless glowing donations, there were countless bullet screens.

"Recovering again? How thick is your blood!"

There were battles in the Third and Fourth Holy Cities as well, but the top ten of ten starry Heavenly Roads, along with some veteran Heavenly Positions, all disappeared, lacking the warfare of the First Holy City and the bloodshed of the Second Holy City.

Some veteran Heavenly Positions sighed: "An invisible selection, these individuals are truly qualified to become Saints."

Some combatants leaving the Third Holy City upon hearing this felt disheartened, while others were motivated to strive for greatness.

From then on, everyone separated these seemingly reclusive combatants from ordinary ones, calling them 'Saint Seeds'.

Soon, insider information emerged.

One of the Saint Seeds, ranked sixth in the First Starry Heavenly Road, 'Every treatment contains experimental elements', released news —

The Third Holy City allows for Enlightenment and strength enhancement;

More importantly, the Fourth Holy City is where you find your ship.

Moreover, within the Fourth Holy City, there are Saint relics.

The news shocked the cosmic realm.
