Chapter 2537: The Great Luo Sacred Supreme Clings to Me

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Upon hearing this, He Lian Duo Cai was overjoyed: "Brother Yao, it’s wonderful that you’re willing to help!"

Over the years, during the frictions with the other two princes, Yao Xingshu had made many contributions and his background was much stronger than his, always earning more favor in front of His Highness.

Coupled with recent events where the momentum of the other princes had been suppressed, the situation had stabilized considerably compared to before, and His Highness’s emotions had also calmed a bit.

With him speaking up, although he would still inevitably be punished, there would be more room for maneuver.

...

Eastern Tianrui Holy City.

Guiyuan Other Courtyard.

The night was deep and all was silent.

The cool moonlight spilled over the Spiritual Lake. As the gentle breeze blew, the lake’s surface shimmered with the moon’s reflection, presenting a stunningly beautiful scene.

However, although the moonlight was cool, Wang Shouzhe’s Lake Heart Pavilion was particularly lively at this moment.

On the platform by the lake, at some point, a long table had been set up, densely filled with various dishes, including fish, meat, and spirit vegetables.

A group of people was gathered there for a meal.

Amidst the rich aroma of rice, pot after pot of Linglong Hundred Fragrance Rice was being served, everyone happily gathered around, enjoying the meal.

Over the years, the number of spirit seeds of Linglong Hundred Fragrance Rice had increased, and the yield had gradually risen. Eating it now didn’t require the kind of stinginess it did during the initial tastings.

Yunpeng Sacred Supreme had a bench to himself, using a large bowl filled to the brim with rice, which he happily devoured in a few bites, leaving not a grain behind.

Yuanshui Spirit Vine Wang Qiandong, temporarily acting as a maid, quickly served him another bowl, layering it with meat and vegetables on top.

Ever since following Wang Shouzhe, Wang Qiandong had experienced a change in fortune. Not only had her potential been significantly upgraded, but three years ago, she also broke through the bottleneck of Peak Level Ten and stepped into Level Eleven.

This caused her loyalty to Wang Shouzhe to soar, now appearing as a staunch supporter.

Yunpeng Sacred Supreme continued to enjoy the Grade 7 Spirit Rice. After devouring dozens of bowls, he finally felt satiated and waved Wang Qiandong to step aside.

He then picked up a pot of Grade 7 Yuliang Ice Brew and drank with satisfaction.

Indeed, the Grade 7 [Yuliang Spring Rice] brewed into ice brew was truly strong, possessing a flavor distinct from the Grade 7 Tien Zhi Fragrance Rice Wine.

"Shouzhe, your Grade 7 Linglong Hundred Fragrance Rice is truly a delight no matter how many times I eat it~~ I also like this Yuliang Ice Brew," Yunpeng Sacred Supreme said, without realizing, after a satisfying burp.

The spiritual energy in this Grade 7 Spirit Rice was abundant. Even for someone like him, the Sacred Supreme, consuming so much was greatly beneficial.

For cultivators in the Divine Power Territory, even someone with a high bloodline like Wang Baoguang, a small bowl would suffice. Eating more could lead to an overabundance of qi and blood, making it hard to refine.

As for Wang Shouzhe, he could eat more than Baoguang but wouldn’t gorge excessively. He had only served himself a large bowl, which he finished long ago.

Looking at Yunpeng Sacred Supreme enjoying himself without a care, Wang Shouzhe said expressionlessly, "Yunpeng Senior, when are you returning to the Primordial Taoist Palace?" Wang Shouzhe said emotionlessly.

"Return to the Dao Palace? Why should I go back?" Yunpeng Sacred Supreme looked puzzled, as if he heard something strange, "Shouzhe, your place has food and drink, and entertainment too. Life here is carefree. Can’t I stay a few more days? Besides, if I go back, I’ll have to eat my own household’s food. Grade 7 Spirit Rice is so expensive, I can’t bear to eat it every day."

Even as the Sacred Supreme, he couldn’t bear to have Grade 7 Spirit Rice all the time. Only those with ample financial resources who wished to advance further in the mid to late stages would consume a lot of Grade 7 Spirit Rice to ensure abundant qi and blood, ensuring cultivation progress.

Yunpeng Sacred Supreme had begun looking for a direct disciple long ago, naturally not aiming to break through any realms, which is why he was economical with the Spirit Rice.

Wang Shouzhe twitched his cheeks, truly astounded by Yunpeng Sacred Supreme’s shamelessness.

Don’t you eat Grade 7 Spirit Rice at your house? So you come to my house every day to mooch? Is it because you think I’m willing to feed you my Grade 7 Spirit Rice?

However, Yunpeng Sacred Supreme’s shamelessness had its reasons.

Initially, when he came to mooch meals, he would somewhat consider the impact on his reputation.

Later, Wang Shouzhe couldn’t resist Yunpeng Sacred Supreme’s persistent entreaties and recommended Wang Baoguang to be Yunpeng Sacred Supreme’s disciple. The two shared a peculiar sense of camaraderie, and when Baoguang accidentally revealed that Wang Licui was Wang Shouzhe’s grandniece, Yunpeng Sacred Supreme shamelessly embraced it.

Whenever this topic arose, he would say things like "Your Licui and her teacher owe me so much money, how about I eat a few meals at your house, Wang Shouzhe?" and "If you have the ability, come beat me up." He had utterly abandoned his dignity.

"Ancestor Grandpa, Master isn’t just eating without doing anything." After finishing a small bowl of rice, Wang Baoguang wiped his mouth and chimed in to justify Yunpeng Sacred Supreme, "After learning about my plan, Master was very interested and also helped me gather a lot of intelligence. Among these, the most explosive information was gathered by my Master when he secretly infiltrated while visiting Emperor Tianrui."

"Tsk tsk, my disciple is obedient, not only handsome and smart but also possesses great bloodline talent." Hearing this, Yunpeng Sacred Supreme looked at Wang Baoguang with increased admiration, clearly more and more satisfied with this disciple.

Previously, Wang Baoguang’s bloodline was merely Class C of the Son of Heaven. But even so, he surpassed Yunpeng Sacred Supreme’s two direct disciples since he hadn’t yet inherited the Immortal Scripture.

However, after Wang Shouzhe obtained several Eleven Rank [Sacred Pills], he personally acted as a protector for Baoguang and used one on him, enhancing his bloodline from Class C of the Son of Heaven to Grade B, completely altering his circumstances.

In the future, even if he inherits a very ordinary Immortal Scripture, his bloodline talent can still reach Grade A of the Son of Heaven.

As such, although he can’t compare to the monstrous talents of Wang Shouzhe and Wang Licui, he still surpasses Yunpeng Sacred Supreme’s current two direct disciples by a long way.

However, Yunpeng Sacred Supreme didn’t commit to making Wang Baoguang his disciple to inherit his teachings and the Sacred Image. Instead, he planned for him to undergo trials and eventually return to the Yunpeng Sacred Island to inherit the Immortal Scripture and go through the regular process of competing for the Sacred Image inheritance rights.

After all, Wang Baoguang wasn’t a natural-born Saint, and with many years until the formal alternation of the Yunpeng Sacred Image, Yunpeng Sacred Supreme couldn’t directly declare Wang Baoguang as his successor.

Nevertheless, given Wang Baoguang’s significant bloodline advantage, his chances of winning are still quite high.

"Ancestor Grandpa." Wang Baoguang continued, "It’s about time; with Wen Yu, the prince, having already suppressed the two major princes, now is the opportune moment for us to deliver a deadly blow."

While he was speaking, Ji Yueer and Jiang Yuling, two subordinates who came to "report" and enjoy a meal, also finished their portions of Grade 7 Spirit Rice.

Ji Yueer then spoke up: "Young Master, I also suggest that it’s time to close the net. All kinds of Spirit Rice within the Tianrui Sacred Dynasty’s territory have gradually begun to run short. Some astute Prominent Families have started noticing something amiss and are hesitantly beginning to cultivate Spirit Rice."

"If the situation continues, more and more families will begin to realize the issue. Even the Laughing Prince, who has extricated himself from the quagmire, might immediately implement national strategies... to counter the unfavorable situation."

After all, the Tianrui Sacred Dynasty is essentially the domain of the Laughing Prince, and once he decides to reverse the situation and focuses on addressing it, it could complicate matters.

"Young Master, please have some tea."

Just then, Jiang Mu Xian, who had recently advanced to the Divine Power Territory, served Wang Shouzhe a pot of Immortal Tea.

Having now fully inherited the "Returning Origin Immortal Spirit Technique," her aura had become increasingly ethereal and clear, a far cry from her former self.

Under her service, Wang Shouzhe calmly sipped the Immortal Tea, his gaze gradually turning sharp: "In that case, let’s proceed with the plan to close the net."

Smoothly wrapping up this matter, he should also return to the Wang family.

Zong Zhu, that kid, needs to head to the clan school quickly and interact more with peers of his age; otherwise, he might become too feminine.
