Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Booooooom!!!

The sixth level of the Genuine Deity Stage!

Success! I did it!

"I finally broke through to the next level!"

Yi-Chuan was overjoyed that he had successfully broken through a level in such a short period with Zheng-Fu's guidance. He had originally thought that it might take another month or two.

"This is just the beginning. You're a person of great talent and ability, Young Master Yi-Chuan. However, the reason why you've developed slowly is because of your temperament and personality. If you train your mind and concentration to be as calm as a mountain, you'll be able to develop rapidly. And I don't think that you'll be satisfied with just that. Therefore, I'll give you this Advanced Deity Soul Fighting Technique to train and increase your strength!"

Hah!?

Advanced Deity Soul Fighting Technique?

Yes!

Golden Sparkling Crazy Dragon Spear Skill.

"That is the name of the skill I gave you. The Golden Sparkling Crazy Dragon Spear Skill is powerful and fierce. But in reality, it is calm, unlike its name. So, you should practice it while training your mind to be calm."

Zheng-Fu told him the name and the rough properties of the skill. As for other details, Yi-Chuan would have to understand it himself. Originally, this Golden Sparkling Crazy Dragon Spear Skill did not belong to Zheng-Fu, but was a skill he had obtained from the treasures of the Mou Clan. He had only slightly modified it while waiting for the war between the Mou Clan and the Zi Clan to end.

Umm!

"Thank you, Young Master Zheng-Fu. However, I have never trained with a spear before. I have only trained with swords. I'm afraid that having to start training again like this won't help me progress, but will slow down my development. Therefore, can I request a sword skill?" Yi-Chuan felt embarrassed to say this, but he decided to ask to change to a sword-related skill instead.

"You haven't even tried it, so how would you know? How about this? If within a month after training it, you don't progress at all, I'll change the skill for you. But if within a month, you improve greatly because of this spear skill, you'll have to serve me for three years, all right?"

Zheng-Fu had expected Yi-Chuan to say something like that. He also knew that Yi-Chuan's practice with sword skills had made him such a hot-tempered and stubborn person. Since sword use mainly focused on heavy attacks, most sword skill cultivators would only focus on destruction. Unless they found their way out, they would remain trapped in this mindset.

And of course, not everyone was like that. Some were not affected by sword skill cultivation. Because the energy and skills they used did not have the aggressive and violent qualities, they were able to control their emotions well.

If so, I...

"If you don't dare, it's fine. I'm just giving you a choice. After all, it's your development anyway. It has nothing to do with me. And if you don't want to practice this skill, you can give it to the clan so that those who are interested can practice it!"

Zheng-Fu knew how to make people respond to his provocation, especially those with a reckless and hot-tempered personality like Yi-Chuan. This kind of person would always fall into his trap.

"Who said I didn't dare? Since Young Master said so, I'll try my best to practice. However, if I still cannot progress in a month, I hope you will give me a new skill like you said!" Yi-Chuan agreed as Zheng-Fu had thought. A person like Yi-Chuan would not let anyone look down on him, and he would not accept defeat easily. So, he immediately agreed.

Good!

"Then, do your best, Young Master Yi-Chuan. However, if you pretend that you have not progressed in practice, then don't blame me for being cruel to you!" Zheng-Fu secretly smiled inwardly when he saw Yi-Chuan agreeing and making a bet with him. He knew that Yi-Chuan would definitely improve a lot if he switched to a spear and practiced alongside the Golden Sparkling Crazy Dragon Spear Skill that he had given him.

Of course!

"Very good, my son! If you can really improve by using a spear, I'll find the best spear for you to use as your personal weapon. Also, if you want something, I'll try to find it for you according to your wishes. But… that thing must be possible!"

Zi-Dong-Lei also secretly smiled happily in his heart when he saw his youngest son being serious. Because all along, Yi-Chuan had always played around, was not serious, and was self-centered. That made his energy level not progress as much as his elder brother Wu-Di, although they were only a few years apart in age.

And even though his son lost the bet and became Zheng-Fu's servant, he was not worried and did not resist the bet at all. If Yi-Chuan followed Zheng-Fu, he would definitely become a very strong cultivator. In this case, his son would only benefit.

"All right, sir, Father! I, Yi-Chuan, will definitely not disappoint Father and Mother!"

Yi-Chuan felt even more motivated when he received his father's support and saw the happy eyes of his mother and the people around him looking at him with anticipation. Therefore, in order not to let everyone feel sorry and not to embarrass himself, he would try his best to let him master the use of the spear in battle and successfully cultivate the Golden Sparkling Crazy Dragon Spear Skill. However, he had completely forgotten about the bet that Zheng-Fu had proposed. "Since there's nothing else, I'd like to go back and rest for now. I'll come back in two days to help you deal with the demon monster beast hordes. I think nothing will happen during these two days. But if there's something wrong, City Governor, you can send me a message. I'll come back right away."

When Zheng-Fu saw that everything was fine, he wanted to go back and rest, because he felt that his body wanted to lie down on a soft bed for a night. And the place he was going to rest was his room in Lin Clan in Black Rock City. Because it was quiet and peaceful, suitable for resting.

After he finished speaking, he walked through the Heavenly Dimension Gate and returned to his room without waiting to hear what the others would say.

Ah!

He's gone!

Of course, there were many people who wanted to talk to Zheng-Fu and ask him to give them some advice on their cultivation, but it was too late; Zheng-Fu had already disappeared from the hall.

"He's such a mysterious person. No matter how hard I try to observe, I cannot tell what he is thinking. However, every action he makes always has a reason. So, I think that since he's helped your son so much, he must have some kind of plan," First Elder said to Zi-Dong-Lei after Zheng-Fu left. He was very sure that Zheng-Fu must have had something behind his actions, but he could not tell whether it was good or bad.

"Master Elder Zi-Han is thinking too much. I believe that Little Comrade Zheng-Fu did not have any ill intent towards us. If he did, do you think our clan would have survived until now? By now, if I could not break through to the seventh level with his help, Mou Clan would have destroyed us all. So, even if he has hidden intentions that he wants something from us, I am willing to repay him, as long as it is not immoral!"

It was not that Zi-Dong-Lei did not know that Zheng-Fu wanted something from them. He knew, but he just did not say it. He thought that Zheng-Fu did not have any ill intent toward Zi Clan, so if Zheng-Fu helped them to get something in return, Zi Clan would be happy to repay him without hesitation. As long as what Zheng-Fu asked for was not something cruel or immoral.

Umm!

"That's right! But it's a pity that I haven't asked him for advice yet. Otherwise, I'd have been able to improve myself." Hearing that, First Elder sighed softly and shook off those thoughts. Before he complained a little that he had not asked Zheng-Fu for advice yet because he also had problems with cultivation.

"Master First Elder, don't worry about that. Wait for Little Comrade Zheng-Fu to come back, I'll ask him for you. I believe he won't refuse!"

Thank you, Clan Leader!

Umm!

"All right! Now, we should prepare the banquet for tonight. So that when the time comes, there won't be any problems. I have already announced that we'll hold a banquet. If we don't make it in time, it will be embarrassing. Also... I want you to send a patrol unit to patrol around the city. In case the demon monster beast hordes make any moves."

Yes, sir!

Back to Zheng-Fu...

After Zheng-Fu passed through the Heavenly Dimension Gate, he appeared in his room in Lin Clan's manor. However, his room was not as empty as he had thought. A young woman was lying on his bed, hugging his pillow tightly. Looking closely, he saw that she was his disciple Lin-Nie.

"Why is she lying on my bed? Didn't I tell Lin Clan Leader not to let anyone enter this room? Or was it her intention?" Zheng-Fu did not know who to blame. He thought that Lin Clan Leader would not dare to disobey his orders, so Lin-Nie might have come there without Lin Clan Leader's permission.

Sigh…

"Then where am I going to sleep?"

Zheng-Fu raised his hand to scratch his head like a fool. He had come here to rest and he would not dare go back to Zi Clan to ask for a place to stay. If he did that, he would lose face.

"Looks like I'll have to go stay at Ma Clan's tavern… Umm! Oh right! I bought hundreds of slaves and had the slave traders send them to Heavenly Treasure Clouds Hall. Then I should go there and handle this matter first, then I'll find a place to stay."

Suddenly, Zheng-Fu remembered the seven hundred slaves he had bought. He thought that he should arrange a place for them first. If he left them there, it would be too much of a bother for Zi-Ying-Er, since he had already bothered her quite a bit with another matter before.

Heavenly Dimension Gate!

Whooooosh!!!

Master!

Hah!?

"Master Zheng-Fu, this disciple misses you so much. When will you come back to teach me? I have already mastered the fighting skill you gave me to practice… Zzzzzz!"

Oh!

"She's just sleep-talking. All right! Before I go, I'll give you a small gift. After all, you're my disciple!"

Zheng-Fu thought that Lin-Nie had woken up and talked to him, but when he looked back, he saw that she was only sleeptalking. So, before he went, he took out two Advanced Deity Soul Fighting Skills, an Advanced Heavenly Sword, and some energy-boosting pills and placed them near her. Then, he quietly walked past Heavenly Dimension Gate.

Whooooosh!!!

After a while…

Screeeaaam!!!

Master!
