Chapter 558 - 556: Invitation
Wen Shixuan felt threatened, so he came to the Alchemy Master Guild to seek help from his two masters.
He had no trouble getting their support.
Chang Mao’s face darkened, and he said with a murderous expression, "Xuan’er, don’t worry. Your master Wenzhu and I will make sure you obtain the position of Sovereign."
"As for that Jiang Chen, he may be uncanny, but he’s not impossible to deal with."
"We just need to lure him to our Alchemy Master Guild. Once he’s here, his death will be certain."
The Alchemy Master Guild was packed with experts, and alchemists had all sorts of tricks up their sleeves.
Dealing with a mere Jiang Chen would not be difficult.
Wenzhu chimed in, "That’s right. Jiang Chen is merely at the Third Heaven Martial King Cultivation. He’s no one special. As long as we get him to the Alchemy Master Guild, there’ll be no escape for him."
Wen Shixuan was ecstatic when he heard this.
With his two masters taking action, killing Jiang Chen was a sure thing.
He said gleefully, "Masters, I understand."
"But how do we get Jiang Chen to come to the Alchemy Master Guild?"
Chang Mao and Wenzhu exchanged a look.
Finally, Chang Mao offered a plan. "It’s simple. In the next few days, I’ll call upon the alchemists of our Guild to hold an alchemy conference."
"Then, we can invite many people."
"We’ll invite Jiang Chen as well. Having him attend on behalf of the Third Prince shouldn’t be a problem."
Wen Shixuan was overjoyed.
"Master, in that case, as long as we strike at the alchemy conference, he’s a dead man."
The three of them discussed the plan.
Chang Mao said to Wen Shixuan with a meaningful look, "My apprentice, your master Wenzhu and I will soon be running for the position of President of the Alchemist Guild."
"And we are absolutely certain we’ll get the position."
Wen Shixuan’s eyes widened in surprise.
He asked, shocked, "Master, how can you be so sure? Won’t the old President, Mr. Qiu Shui, object? After all, he still holds some prestige."
Wenzhu gave a smug smile.
"There’s something you don’t know. The old President won’t be coming back."
Indeed, Wenzhu and Chang Mao had teamed up to hunt down Mr. Qiu Shui. Right now, he was likely still nursing his wounds.
Even if he recovered, he wouldn’t dare show his face at the Alchemy Master Guild anytime soon.
They had complete control of the situation.
Thus, they were brimming with confidence, certain of winning the election for President of the Alchemist Guild.
Wen Shixuan was thrilled. With his two masters in charge of the Alchemist Guild, he would be even more certain of becoming the Sovereign of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.
At that point, with the masters and apprentice united, the Fire Sparrow Kingdom could not only continuously increase its power but also expand its territory and seize more resources.
「Within the Lin Family Manor.」
The past few days had been relatively quiet, with no one to disturb him.
He, too, was in seclusion, focused on his Cultivation.
「Inside the Dragon-locking Realm.」
In a flash, Jiang Chen appeared in the Dragon-locking Realm.
He saw that the Golden-haired Zombie King’s injuries were almost fully healed.
Moreover, the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf and the Black King Rat were also using the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within the primordial crystals for their Cultivation.
He focused his senses for a moment.
’Xiaotian’s aura is growing stronger and stronger. It looks like his breakthrough will happen soon.’
As for the Black Fire Crow, after devouring the Night Ghost and opening its Celestial Eye, it had returned to the depths of the earth to restore its Cultivation.
Jiang Chen eagerly anticipated the changes in both Xiaotian and the Black Fire Crow.
After a short while, Jiang Chen left the Dragon-locking Realm.
"Young Master, someone delivered an invitation."
Just as Jiang Chen emerged, Xiao Jun hurried in.
He held an invitation in his hand.
Jiang Chen was puzzled, finding it odd to receive an invitation at a time like this.
’There probably aren’t many people who would send me an invitation right now.’
He opened the invitation and took a look.
’The Alchemy Master Guild is inviting me to observe an alchemy conference.’
"Hm?"
Jiang Chen frowned slightly as he looked at the invitation.
’To be blunt, I don’t really know anyone at the Alchemy Master Guild.’
’So getting an invitation from them is a real surprise.’
’Could it be that the people at the Alchemy Master Guild already know I’m an Alchemist?’
He was both curious and confused.
But he didn’t dwell on it for long.
After a moment’s thought, he put the invitation away.
’Looks like I have to make a trip to the Alchemy Master Guild after all.’
In fact, Jiang Chen had already been planning a trip to the Alchemy Master Guild, as he needed several materials that could likely only be found there.
And when he went, Jiang Chen planned to bring Mr. Qiu Shui with him.
Right now, Mr. Qiu Shui was still in seclusion at the Third Prince’s Mansion, so Jiang Chen couldn’t visit the Royal Palace for the time being.
He could only wait for Mr. Qiu Shui to emerge on his own.
After all, given his current strength, it would be extremely dangerous for Jiang Chen to go to the Alchemy Master Guild.
’I hope Mr. Qiu Shui breaks through soon.’
「At the Third Prince’s Mansion, inside a secret chamber.」
Mr. Qiu Shui sat cross-legged in the secret chamber.
’By cultivating the Celestial Dragon Sun-Destruction Technique according to Jiang Chen’s guidance, my Cultivation is progressing by leaps and bounds.’
At a certain moment, Mr. Qiu Shui opened his eyes.
He felt the turbulent Cultivation Power surging within him, constantly battering against his limits.
He was already a master at the Peak of Martial Arts Nine Heavens.
Now, with the improved Cultivation Technique, he had fully grasped and integrated all the aspects he previously couldn’t comprehend.
’This is simply marvelous. Jiang Chen’s guidance has given me a sudden epiphany.’
’I even feel that it might be possible for me to reach the Martial Emperor Cultivation!’
’Before, I didn’t even have the confidence to break through to the Martial Emperor rank. Now, I’m confident I can step into the supreme Martial Emperor Realm!’
This was the confidence Jiang Chen had given him by improving his Cultivation Technique.
Without further thought, he focused on his Cultivation.
His Cultivation Power surged endlessly.
At the same time, a flying dragon materialized and circled his body, letting out a ferocious roar.
Its presence was astonishing.
As his aura grew more immense, the flying dragon became increasingly ferocious.
Until, at a certain moment...
Mr. Qiu Shui’s expression suddenly turned serious. He seemed to have reached the very edge of the Martial Emperor Cultivation.
’This is the moment.’
’Break through!’
He mobilized the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and began to relentlessly assault the barrier.
The Martial Emperor Realm had always seemed like a thin barrier before him, but one he could never break through.
But at this moment, as the Cultivation Power within him grew agitated, the flying dragon suddenly shot into his body.
With a roar, it crashed violently against the barrier.
BOOM!
The impact was world-shattering. The entire barrier cracked in an instant.
It was as if the heavens and earth themselves were collapsing.
Then, a huge opening appeared.
Mr. Qiu Shui was overjoyed.
’Finally, it’s broken.’
’Martial Emperor Cultivation... I’ve finally reached the Martial Emperor Cultivation!’
He was truly ecstatic.
Then, the flying dragon shot out from his body once more. Its aura was more than ten times stronger than before.
This was the difference between a Martial Emperor and the Martial Arts realm.
A Martial Emperor could be said to have truly entered the ranks of masters.
BOOM!
As the barrier shattered, a powerful aura erupted from Mr. Qiu Shui.
It slammed against the walls of the secret chamber.
After a long while, Mr. Qiu Shui stood up. He looked decades younger, his appearance having transformed from that of an old man to one in his middle years.
’It’s time to go to the Alchemy Master Guild.’
