Chen Xiaobei looked around cautiously. “Don’t call me master! Let’s find a safer place to talk!”
“Alright! Let’s go!” Wuigui Kojiro nodded. They left in his flying car.
…
They soon arrived in Prince Wugui Kojiro’s official residence.
Both men went straight to the study where Wugui Kojiro sat Chen Xiaobei down and poured him a cup of tea.
“Master, this is a very safe place. You can say anything you want here. You don’t have to worry about anyone listening!”
Chen Xiaobei shot a warning look at his loyal hound. “First of all, do not address me as your master in front of others! Second, I got myself a Royal Dome imperial spacecraft! I am here as the emissary of Royal Dome’s great emperor! If anyone asks you, tell them that we’ve only just met!”
“Yes, I’ll remember that!” Wugui Kojiro nodded. “Royal Dome’s imperial spacecraft are very advanced. There’s no more than ten of those. How did you manage to get one, master?”
Chen Xiaobei answered, “Like you, the new great emperor of Royal Dome is also my loyal hound. How do you think I got it?”
“What?!” Wugui Kojiro’s hand flew to his mouth. “The new greagt emeperor of Royal Dome? Why the sudden change?”
Chen Xiaobei shrugged. “I don’t feel like explaining. You’ll hear about it in two to three days!”
“Good heavens… You really are incredible…” Wugui Kojiro inhaled sharply. What could Chen Xiaobei have done to the Royal Dome imperial court to even make such a thing happen?
Chen Xiaobei wanted to change the topic. “Let’s not waste any more time. Tell me about Tenshou’s current situation!”
“Yes! Tenshou was actually getting ready to launch the second joint-attack but the Royal Dome’s crown prince was murdered, again. So, the plan was put on hold. Now, even though Royal Dome was too busy putting out the fire in their own backyard and could not carry on with the attack, Tenshou was prepared to attack at any time! I even heard rumors that some of the chancellors were trying to persuade the Sovereign Emperor to forget about Royal Dome and attack Saint Duke on their own. They were convinced that they would still be able to win the battle! However, the Sovereign Emperor was worried that the same thing that happened to Royal Dome would also happen to Tenshou. So, he has been unable to make a decision!”
Wugui Kojiro had clearly been paying attention and keeping notes on all key events.
Chen Xiaobei sighed in relief at this. “One dead crown prince is already enough to scare the Tenshou Sovereign Emperor. If he finds out that Royal Dome’s great emperor and all eight of his brothers were assassinated in one night, his pants would be soaking wet!”
“What?!” Wugui Kojiro’s eyes were as round as marbles. “The great emperor and all eight of the Wangye are dead?!”
Chen Xiaobei nodded but gave no explanations.
“My god… This is crazy…” Wugui Kojiro swallowed. “If that’s the case, the Sovereign Emperor’s paranoia will heighten. There is no way Tenshou would be attacking Saint Duke anytime soon!”
Chen Xiaobei broke into a smile. “If he doesn’t attack, I will have enough time to prepare. I could even make time to snatch Red Envelopes during the Mid-Autumn Festival!”
“Snatch Red Envelopes?” Wugui Kojiro looked confused.
“You won’t understand even if I tell you! Hey, do you celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival here?”
“Of course!” Wugui Kojiro answered. “The customs and cultures of high-ranking starfields are very similar to the culture of ancient Chinese!” Mid-Autumn Festival is after Qixi festival! I think this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival is only five days away!”
“Yes! Exactly five days!” Chen Xiaobei nodded. “I have to do something in these five days!”
“What… What is it?” Wugui Kojiro looked nervous.
Chen Xiaobei shrugged, and said in the most casual of tones, “Make Tenshou’s Sovereign Emperor my loyal hound!”
“What?!” Wugui Kojiro’s eyes bulged even wider now. “Master! This is not a joke right?! The emperor is a God-Ascension elite – at the peak phase! He ranks number one in the Nine Zones Heaven Leaderboard! What’s more, he has three Two-Star Earth-God instruments! No one in all of the Nine Zone starfields can beat him!”
Chen Xiaobei was so calm he sounded almost negligent. “I don’t care how strong he is. Using wisdom alone, I can come up with hundreds of ways to make him my loyal hound! If you don’t believe me, just think about the Giant Barbaric Tiger!”
“I…” Wugui Kojiro was speechless.
How was Chen Xiaobei going to do the impossible? But then again, not too long ago, Chen Xiaobei had indeed managed to subdue a Giant Barbaric Tiger and made it his loyal hound!
That was an indisputable fact!
If even an Earth-God level beast could be subdued by Chen Xiaobei, how could a God-Ascension demigod be a challenge Chen Xiaobei?
Wugui Kojiro had no reason to believe that it was impossible!
They were both human, and they both had one brain. How was it that their wisdom and knowledge were poles apart?
This made Wugui Kojiro begin to wonder and question his life.
“Alright! Let’s not talk about this anymore! What I want to know is how the Nine Zones Heaven Leaderboard is arranged. Saint Duke’s Luo Shanhe is at the peak of God-Ascension with 1.5 million combat power! Does that mean that everyone on the leaderboard is at the peak phase of God-Ascension? Since their combat powers are the same, have the rankings been organized according to who has more Earth-God instruments?”
“Huh?” Wugui Kojiro raised an eyebrow. “Who said that the combat power of the peak phase of God-Ascension cultivation is 1.5 million?”
“Wasn’t it?” Chen Xiaobei felt a little confused. He had personally seen Luo Shanhe’s combat power with his Netherspirit Battlescouter. There was no mistake about it.
“Mater, God-Ascension cultivation is a special type of cultivation! God-Ascension cultivators are also called demigods while Primordial Spirit cultivators are called an Earth God! Although they are one cultivation apart, the transformation from a demigod to an Earth God differs greatly from simply breaking through to the next cultivation!”
“How?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“I’ll just be frank here – I hope you don’t mind, master! Only weak cultivators from middle and lower class starfields who would never reach God-Ascension cultivation would think that 1.5 million combat power was the peak phase of God-Ascension cultivation! The reality is, 1.5 million is only the beginning of God-Ascension!”
“What? It’s only the beginning?” Chen Xiaobei gasped.
Chen Xiaobei was at these high-ranking starfields only recently. He had been so busy that he did not get the chance to understand the nature of God-Ascension cultivation.
Wugui Kojiro’s explanation had opened the door to a whole new world for Chen Xiaobei.
This was a breath of fresh air to him and he was intrigued!
What in the world was this God-Ascension?
