Chapter 291: Guangling Academy Elder
“Unless this Zhou Donghuang has the ability to transform the appearance of his Dharma Power before it appears… Otherwise, he could not possibly be that person!”
As Huang Chunqiu thought of this, he looked once again at Zhou Donghuang, his gaze becoming even more severe and intense.
He couldn’t believe that such coincidence existed.
“Zhou Donghuang, don’t you dare let me find any evidence… otherwise, I, and the Tiansong Sect, will never let you off!” Huang Chunqiu muttered quietly under his breath.
Now, he couldn’t be sure that Zhou Donghuang was the person who had murdered his beloved disciple, Mo Yitian. Even if he was convinced that Zhou Donghuang was the murderer, as long as he had no evidence to prove it, he could never do anything to Zhou Donghuang openly.
However, once he managed to prove that Zhou Donghuang had indeed killed Mo Yitian, he and the Tiansong Sect would have a reason to do something to avenge his death.
In fact, everybody else from the other sects would all support him.
Zhou Donghuang was too outstanding, such that he was unnaturally extraordinary.
However, as the saying went, “Once the tree outgrows the forest, the wind must blow it over.” The other sects of the Alliance would definitely want to destroy this unnatural talent from the Lightning Sword Sect if they had the chance to.
No sect would wish to have Zhou Donghuang grow even stronger, and the Lightning Sword Sect become even more dominant.
Someone as powerful as Zhou Donghuang, once he grew up and got even stronger, would disrupt the delicate balance between the sects of the Alliance!
If he were to be ambitious, he could even conquer every single one of them and become the third Transcendental Force of the Hengliu galaxy.
By that time, nobody would wish to be conquered and may even face possible annihilation!
Nobody else was aware of what Huang Chunqiu was thinking.
Even the two Tiansong Sect disciples who witnessed the masked Zhou Donghuang kill Mo Yitian that day would never imagine that that person was none other than Zhou Donghuang himself.
Huang Chunqiu did not even dare to imagine the possibility that Zhou Donghuang could have two Dharma Powers, only thinking to the extent that Zhou Donghuang had mastered the technique of transforming the appearance of the Dharma Power before it appeared.
As for the other two Tiansong Sect disciples, they did not dare to think that Zhou Donghuang had two separate Dharma Powers. They also did not think that Zhou Donghuang could possibly have the power to transform the appearance of his Dharma Power.
What if they had all been mistaken?
Nonetheless, even if Huang Chunqiu had such thoughts at that moment, he could definitely not say it out loud right now. Once he said it out loud, nobody would believe his words nor stand on his side.
Unless he was able to produce sufficient solid evidence.
…
The Alliance Hunt, which lasted for three whole months, ended.
Zhou Donghuang received the Sky Sun fruit that he wanted after half a month.
The Sky Sun fruit could be said to be the best prize that the Alliance Hunt could offer. Most times, nobody could even win such a prize.
That day, after confirming that Zhou Donghuang would be able to receive the grand prize of the Sky Sun fruit, practically all the Dharma adepts in the Alliance looked at him with envy.
In fact, many Sect Leaders even hurried to offer high prices to buy the fruit from Zhou Donghuang.
However, all their offers were flatly rejected by Zhou Donghuang.
What a joke!
The Sky Sun fruit was exactly what he desperately needed right then. With the Sky Sun fruit, he would be able to allow the four Dharma Powers in his body to quickly breakthrough to the ultimate Dharma stage and then towards the Primordial Soul stage!
“If my four Supreme Beast Dharma Powers reach the Primordial Soul stage, with their power… even if I am just at the early Primordial Soul stage, I am confident of defeating or even killing any ordinary late Primordial Soul adepts!”
After receiving the Sky Sun fruit from Yu Yucheng, leader of the Lightning Sword Sect, Zhou Donghuang’s face appeared calm, but his heart was fluttering with excitement.
“Congratulations, Zhou Donghuang.” Yu Yucheng smiled as he congratulated Zhou Donghuang.
“Thank you, Sect Leader.”
Zhou Donghuang nodded at Yu Yucheng and prepared to head back to his residence in the Autumn Valley to produce the Sky Sun elixir to fully utilize the Sky Sun fruit as quickly as possible.
Once the Sky Sun elixir was produced, his level of skill would improve drastically within a short, and perhaps he could even distribute one Sky Sun elixir each to Third Senior Sister and Da Zhuang.
“Zhou Donghuang, please hold on.”
As Zhou Donghuang bid him farewell and prepared to return to the Autumn Valley, Yu Yucheng stopped him.
“Yes, Sect Leader?” asked Zhou Donghuang.
“Our Lightning Sword Sect recently received a few guests.”
Yu Yucheng smiled sadly at Zhou Donghuang as he said, “It would be nothing if they were just any ordinary guests… but they are from the Qi Dynasty and the Guangling Academy.”
“Qi Dynasty? Guangling Academy?”
Zhou Donghuang frowned. “Are they here for the Sky Sun fruit?”
“I’m afraid that is not the case… I think they are here because of you instead.”
Yu Yucheng shook his head and said, “Of course, if you do not wish to join the Qi Dynasty or the Guangling Academy, they will surely try to gain something from you instead, which would be your Sky Sun fruit.”
“Do I have to see them?”
Zhou Donghuang’s brows were raised into a slight drown. He did not wish to meet anybody unimportant or irrelevant.
“If you do not meet them, they may head to the Autumn Valley to find you themselves.”
Yu Yucheng smiled bitterly. In front of the two Transcendental Forces, even him, as the leader of the Lightning Sword Sect, would have to be cautious and respectful to avoid making any mistakes.
This was inevitable, simply because his level of skill was too low.
If the other party decided to attack him, or anybody else in the Lightning Sword Sect, they could easily find an excuse. After all, the Alliance did not wish to have any conflicts with these two Transcendental Forces.
Although there were many strong adepts among the 52 sects of the Alliance, the organization could simply not bring together all these talents just because of a small conflict to argue with the two Transcendental Forces, much less fight against them.
At the end of the day, if anyone in the highest ranks of the two Transcendental Forces, no matter how young, were to slap Yu Yucheng, he would also not be able to do anything in response.
“In that case, let’s meet them.”
Zhou Donghuang did not wish to lead the two Transcendental Forces to the Autumn Valley and disrupt the peace there.
Under the guidance of Yu Yucheng, Zhou Donghuang first headed to where the people from the Guangling Academy had been hosted by the Lightning Sword Sect.
The man from the Guangling Academy was a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar, his build strong and muscular, and his facial features upright. His face seemed to always be filled with a smile, giving one the feeling of a gust of Spring wind.
“Elder Dong.”
Yu Yucheng first greeted the man with a smile, then began his introduction, “Elder Dong, this gentleman here is Zhou Donghuang from our Lightning Sword Sect.”
“Zhou Donghuang, this gentleman here is Elder Dong of the Guangling Academy.”
Once Yu Yucheng had finished speaking, Zhou Donghuang only slightly glanced at the man from Guangling Academy, then asked impatiently, “What do you want?”
If he could choose, he would definitely not want to see anyone from the Guangling Academy or the Qi Dynasty because there was no point in meeting them, and it would be a waste of his time.
However, Zhou Donghuang’s impatient tone shocked Yu Yucheng. He hurriedly apologized profusely to the man, “Elder Dong, Zhou Donghuang has something important to rush off to at the Autumn Valley, so he is in a bit of a rush… I hope you can forgive him.”
The man before him looked like he was just one of the elders of the Guangling Academy. Still, he had another identity—he was the grandson of the current Principal of the Guangling Academy!
The Lightning Sword Sect could not afford to offend someone like that.
“No need,” replied Dong Fangyou with a shake of his head. “I was also too impatient just now.”
“Zhou Donghuang.” Dong Fangyou looked at Zhou Donghuang, his face filled with a kind smile as he said, “I am here today mainly to invite you to enter the Guangling Academy…”
Before Dong Fangyou could finish, Zhou Donghuang had already interrupted him. “Not interested.”
The smile on Dong Fangyou’s face seemed to falter momentarily, but he continued with a bright smile, “Of course, since you are not willing, I, and the Guangling Academy, will not force you.
“But there is something else…”
Hearing Dong Fangyou’s words, Zhou Donghuang already knew that the man was definitely eyeing his Sky Sun fruit. Dong Fangyou immediately proved that Zhou Donghuang’s suspicions were correct, as he asked about the Sky Sun fruit.
“Our Guangling Academy is willing to use a Tongshen fruit to exchange for your Sky Sun fruit… I wonder if you are willing to trade with us?” Dong Fangyou asked with a smile.
A Tongshen fruit?
Hearing Dong Fangyou’s words, although Zhou Donghuang appeared calm on the surface, he was extremely agitated on the inside. Clearly, he did not expect that the Guangling Academy would use a Tongshen fruit to trade for his Sky Sun fruit.
The value of the Tongshen fruit was no less than the Sky Sun fruit. In fact, to some people, the Tongshen fruit was even more attractive than the Sky Sun fruit.
The Tongshen fruit could guarantee ultimate Dharma adepts a breakthrough to the Primordial Soul stage. It was extremely valuable for ultimate Dharma adepts who were at the end of their lives but who seemed to have no chance in reaching the Primordial Soul stage.
This was the same as a life-prolonging pill for them!
Even in resource-rich galaxies, in any auction, the Tongshen fruit could easily fetch a higher price than the Sky Sun fruit.
Even in resource-rich galaxies, there was no shortage of ultimate Dharma adepts who lacked natural talent and who had no chance of reaching the Primordial Soul stage. The family and friends of these people would try to procure the Tongshen fruit for them.
Just based on price alone and nothing else, the Tongshen fruit was not inferior to the Sky Sun fruit.
It was just a pity that the Tongshen fruit had no value at all to Zhou Donghuang.
Now, even if the Guangling Academy produced ten or even a hundred Tongshen fruits, he would never exchange it for the Sky Sun fruit.
What did he need the most right now?
Time!
The Sky Sun fruit would allow him to save time and reach the Primordial Soul stage earlier than expected.
“No deal.”
Zhou Donghuang shook his head.
From Dong Fangyou’s expression, he was clearly not surprised by Zhou Donghuang’s response.
However, he did not just give up like that, but added, “What if I add another promise?
“An early Divine Transformation adept from the Guangling Academy will make an appearance to fight on your behalf, no matter your opponent and no matter the reason!”
Even after hearing this additional offer, Zhou Donghuang shook his head once again, “Not trading!”
“Mid Primordial Soul.”
Dong Fangyou continued, “As long as it does not harm the interests of the Guangling Academy, a mid Divine Transformation adept of the Guangling Academy will fight on your behalf once!”
