Chapter 198 Carefree True Monarch
before the conflict erupted, the reason a nascent soul loose cultivator could occupy a fourth-order spiritual land for cultivation in the great qian empire was that nascent soul cultivators were too powerful, and the five great nascent soul level powers were unwilling to antagonize them.
however, once the great war between the two countries broke out, the five great nascent soul powers had allied together to first eliminate all unstable factors within the country; they would never allow the other nascent soul powers to sit idly and watch.
zhao yu pondered and said, "i am willing to join the alliance!"
fifth-order spirit veins are extremely rare, a single one representing a continuous source of resources, and it provides the opportunity to cultivate various rare spiritual medicines, nurture spirit beasts, and breed magical corpses and evil ghosts.
if zhao yu were to lose this medium-quality fifth-order spirit vein, it would mean that he would have to search for another spirit vein for cultivation and would also be unable to continuously obtain resources for sustenance.
the nascent soul cultivators from the two sects, two factions, and the city were much richer than the other nascent soul loose cultivators because they occupied a large amount of spiritual land and had access to countless resources for their upkeep.
lord wuyun smiled slightly and said, "please come to cloud mist city in a month to meet with the fellow daoists, and we can discuss the future actions of the alliance together."
zhao yu nodded slightly and said, "good!"
a month later, above cloud mist city, an escape light flew from afar and landed at the city gate, revealing the figures of zhao yu, the nine extremes corpse emperor, and the white ghost emperor.
ever since the white ghost emperor had advanced to fourth order, zhao yu no longer kept them in the ghost nurturing jar or the spirit coffin; they now accompanied him as bodyguards.
after all, zhao yu was just a cultivator in the late golden core stage and was no match for nascent soul cultivators. if he were attacked by a nascent soul cultivator, he might not even have time to react.
"i have seen elder zhao, i am zhou wanrong from the celestial cloud holy sect, sent by lord wuyun to welcome you. if there are any needs you have, elder, feel free to ask me!"
a beautiful woman with a grand perfection of foundation establishment stage walked over from one side wearing white palace attire, tall in stature with her form filling out the clothes nicely, her black hair tied into a ponytail, her skin fair like white milk, with cherry lips and a neat nose, her visage strikingly beautiful, exuding a sharp and capable aura, and gave a deep bow as she spoke.
zhao yu nodded slightly, and under the guidance of zhou wanrong, proceeded to a luxurious palace within cloud mist city.
"friend zhao, don't listen to him! that immortal city is a place that corrupts the mind. this guy once condensed his nascent soul within two hundred years, known as the first genius of the great qian empire, but now, his cultivation has only reached the third level of nascent soul! such a waste of talent!"
a tall, handsome middle-aged man in black robes, another nascent soul cultivator, walked over and looked deeply at the free and easy true monarch with disappointment.
zhao yu praised, "condensing nascent soul in two hundred years! that is truly remarkable! may i ask how to address you, friend?"
those who condensed a nascent soul within two hundred years are considered geniuses among geniuses, endowed with great fortune. they might even have the potential to advance to the late stages of nascent soul or even aspire to the realm of god transformation.
the entire great qian empire currently does not have a single late-stage nascent soul cultivator. if the free and easy true monarch were able to advance to that level, immortal city could take over a fifth-order spirit vein and instantly become one of the top-tier nascent soul powers like those two sects and two schools, and himself.
the middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "i am true monarch maple original, a friend of this fellow!"
the free and easy true monarch shook his head and sighed, "old maple, without achieving god transformation, the lifespan of a nascent soul cultivator is all the same. life is short, and enjoying it while we can is the way to go. so many nascent soul cultivators in the great qian empire, yet not one has achieved god transformation in the last thousand years, let alone ascension!
we cultivate for the sake of a long and pleasurable life. since we have already achieved nascent soul and longevity, why not enjoy life as much as possible? would it not be a waste otherwise?"
true monarch maple original responded, "if you don't endure hardships, you won't have even a slim chance of advancing to god transformation! although our great qian empire hasn't had anyone advance to god transformation in the past thousand years, still, in the past ten thousand years, two persons from our great qian empire have achieved it!
the founding ancestors of saint cloud holy sect and minghua sword sect successfully advanced to god transformation!"
the free and easy true monarch said expectantly, "old zhao, who do you think is making more sense?"
zhao yu smiled and replied, "true monarch maple original!"
the free and easy true monarch shook his head and sighed, "common! common! common! old zhao, i thought you were like me, one who enjoys life. i hadn't expected you to be as common as true monarch maple original! three months from now is our once-every-three-years oiran contest in immortal city.
are you interested in coming to watch?"
