The Legend of the Great Saint: Start from the Sign-in at Mount Tai

Chapter 529 The King
Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Zhou traveled alone, so his speed was naturally very fast.

In just two short years, he has traversed one human race ancient road checkpoint after another as if walking on flat ground, and has now even reached the eighty-first checkpoint of the human race ancient road.

This refers to the ancient city where Xu Li's father is stationed.

Within two years, Lu Zhou signed in dozens more times.

Most of the sign-in results were just so-so to him.

There are elixirs, scriptures, sacred arts, quasi-emperor arts, as well as medicine kings, divine sources, and refining materials that can be used to forge legendary sacred weapons.

Of course, the Divine Light Platform, where he would always sign in at those ancient and majestic cities, is also indispensable.

It's worth mentioning Lu Zhou's sign-in rewards in levels 72 and 81.

He signed in at the trial grounds of the seventy-second level and obtained the Seventy-Two Transformations from the Zhu Yan Treasure Technique.

In the trial grounds of the 81st level, a Creation Source Eye was obtained through signing in.

Let's leave aside Zhu Yan's seventy-two transformations for now.

Just the value of that one eye of creation alone made Lu Zhou feel that his two years of solitary journey had not been in vain.

As mentioned in the original work, the Immortal Emperor had traveled all over the universe and only found a few Eyes of Creation.

Later, that birdman took them all and hid them away.

This made it almost impossible for cultivators of later generations to see the Source Eye of Creation again.

In the original work, it is clearly stated that the birdman left a portion of the Eye of Creation in Purple Mountain for the Heavenly Emperor's son to use in order to nourish him.

In addition, he also left several Creation Source Eyes for his other son.

This ensured that his other son was always nourished by the Source Eye of Creation.

Many years ago, because of Lu Zhou's intrusion.

The eye of creation in Purple Mountain ultimately brought together Lu Zhou and the God King Jiang Taixu.

This greatly increased the essence of Lu Zhou and the God King, and also allowed the God King to recover to his peak state more quickly.

This is a rare treasure that is hard to find even if you search the entire universe.

To some extent, it has similar effects to the Demon God Flower, although it is not as good as the Demon God Flower, but it is not as narrow-minded as the Demon God Flower.

The Creation Source Eye is effective for all cultivators, while the Demon God Flower is more suitable for young demon creatures.

In the outer space where the Eighty-first city is located, a vast tribulation of lightning is engulfing the cosmos.

It was Lu Zhou undergoing his tribulation.

Not long after, he broke through two minor realms and stood on the ninth step of the Saint King realm.

More than ten years had passed since his last breakthrough.

He continues to walk his path steadily.

Each time, he would only break through to the next cultivation realm when he could no longer suppress his emotions.

After Lu Zhou broke through, he left the star field where the 81st city was located and continued his journey.

During this time, at the enthusiastic invitation of Xu Li's father, he went to the city lord's mansion and stayed for two days.

Xu Li's father once asked Lu Zhou if he planned to travel along the main road to the Eighty-Second City.

Lu Zhou shook his head.

"I've heard that the ancient road of the human race has a total of 108 cities, but after the eighty-first city, most of them are deserted and uninhabited. Some cities have long been lost to time, and it's hard to find even a single rubble. There isn't even a single connecting guide!"

"On the way forward, the trial participants will need to repair the five-colored altar before they can be teleported to the next level!"

"I'll stop here on the main road for now!"

"I've heard that more and more young powerful rulers and supreme beings are undergoing trials on the Golden Ancient Road!"

"Some people, as they walked, even approached the ancient trial paths of some alien races!"

"I'm going to go check it out too!"

As Lu Zhou said, his stroll and check-in on the main road of the human race temporarily stopped at the eighty-first level.

He set off again.

We embarked on the ancient Golden Road.

The universe is vast, and it is difficult to describe just how vast it is. Perhaps only the Great Emperor could glimpse even a fraction of it.

Walking along the ancient golden road, Lu Zhou indeed encountered very few people.

What he saw along the way was mostly desolate and lifeless.

Planets with life are really, really rare.

In some extremely dim star fields, even the essence of heaven and earth is so thin that it is difficult to detect.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

Lu Zhou has been traveling alone in the starry sky for three years.

On this day, as soon as he stepped out of the domain gate, he sensed intense battle fluctuations coming from the distant starry sky.

That was definitely a terrifying battle approaching the level of a Great Sage.

Having not encountered any signs of human habitation for more than half a year, Lu Zhou immediately became interested in this matter.

He took a step into the starry sky and transformed into a bolt of lightning, flying towards the direction from which the intense battle's energy waves were emanating.

When he arrived, the man and the beast, who had been locked in a life-or-death battle, each launched an attack at the other before retreating to opposite ends of the battlefield.

Lu Zhou did not conceal his whereabouts as he moved.

Sensing the arrival of a powerful figure, both the man and the beast looked towards Lu Zhou.

When the woman saw that it was Lu Zhou, her eyes flickered. She was somewhat surprised to run into Lu Zhou here.

Then, she nodded to Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou smiled and nodded back as a greeting.

He recognized the person at a glance.

She was stunningly beautiful, giving off a cold and aloof aura.

She is the Queen of Men!

Mr. Lu has always been impressed by beautiful women with outstanding temperament. Even if he has only met them once, he can remember them for a long time.

Not to mention, the Human King was already famous throughout the ancient human path, and was the young supreme being of the ancient human path.

In the original work, she was mentioned quite a few times.

However, when the storyline of the Mythical Ancient Road came to the fore, it was unclear whether she had been forgotten by people or for some other reason.

In short, not long after the Human King and the young supreme beings of various races embarked on the ancient path of mythology, there was little news about the Human King.

She was no longer so dazzling. Like Qing Shi in the original work, she gradually faded into obscurity and was gradually replaced by more dazzling heroes!

Even so, Qing Shi and Ren Wang truly lived up to their reputation as young supreme beings who were once renowned throughout the ancient road.

In the original novel, they all broke through to the level of Quasi-Emperor.

When Emperor Ye Tian was traveling the world at the age of eight thousand, he even saw the two of them in the starry sky.

By then, both of them were past their prime.

While Lu Zhou was thinking about these things, the Human King and the giant star beast were once again locked in battle.

It was an extremely powerful ancient star beast, floating in the universe, its body as vast as a star.

Even a young supreme being as powerful as the Human King used his full strength when facing this ancient star beast, and was injured by its attacks.

The blood of a human king has stained his white robes.

The Human King is very powerful, and her style of fighting against enemies is even more expansive and can be described as fierce.

On the battlefield, she was like a female war goddess, incredibly cool.
Watching the Human King battle against the ancient star beast, Lu Zhou's face gradually showed more interest.

Deep within his eyes, wisps of nine-colored divine light surged, fixed intently on the Human King.

The Heaven-Turning Seal, the Mountain-Embracing Seal, and the Human King Seal—these three ancient seals of Heaven, Earth, and Man—are at the Human King's fingertips with effortless ease.

It had a profound impact on Lu Zhou!

Many years ago, Lu Zhou had already collected all three of these seal techniques in the Immortal Abode World within the Qishi Mansion in Zhongzhou.

It is rumored that the combined power of these three seals is no less than that of a quasi-emperor's grand technique.

After obtaining these three great seal techniques, Lu Zhou also devoted himself to studying them.

He considered his own attainments in the three seals of Heaven, Earth, and Man to be quite remarkable, and that he was able to unify the three seals.

But now, when he saw the Human King use these three great seal techniques in succession, Lu Zhou realized that there are heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people!
In terms of mastery of the three great seals of Heaven, Earth, and Man, he was far inferior to the King of Men.

Especially the King's Seal.

This may be related to the fact that the Human King originally possessed the Human King Body, making the Human King Seal very compatible with the Human King, as if it were the Human King's innate divine art.

But no matter what, it's still not as good as it is.

Watching the King of Men use these three seals to fight his enemies gave Lu Zhou considerable inspiration, allowing him to gain a deeper understanding of them without even realizing it.

In the end, the Human King emerged victorious in this great battle.

That ancient star beast was killed by the Human King using the Three Seals Combined. Its enormous corpse floated silently in the starry sky, gradually growing cold.

The Human King was also injured after killing this powerful ancient beast, but fortunately it shouldn't be too serious.

Divine light flowed around the human king, and strands of starlight, like moonlight and water curtains, descended towards her, enveloping her.

At this moment, the Queen of Humanity was less sharp and more gentle, making her beauty dreamlike.

But she still looks incredibly cool!
So heroic!

Lu Zhou raised his hand and unleashed the Origin Heaven Divine Technique, which was as powerful as plucking stars and seizing the moon, drawing in even more starlight and divine energy, which surged toward the Human King who was healing.

Before long, the Human King's injuries had been almost completely healed.

She looked up and saw Lu Zhou walking towards her.

"Thank you!"

The human king thanked Lu Zhou for bringing more starlight divine energy to help her heal.

Lu Zhou waved his hand and smiled.

"You're too kind. It was just a small favor, nothing at all!"

"Moreover, just now, I witnessed you using the Heaven, Earth, and Man Seals to fight the enemy, which greatly impressed me and gave me a deeper understanding of the Heaven, Earth, and Man Seals!"

"If anyone should be thanking someone, it should be me thanking you!"

Upon hearing Lu Zhou's words, the Human King pondered for a moment, then looked at Lu Zhou and continued.

"That's because you're quick to understand, no need to thank me!"

It's clear that the King isn't truly aloof.

She's just not good with words, and she's also a very meticulous person.

Such people are often quite pure and not hypocritical.

Seeing the king's attitude, Lu Zhou also spoke frankly.

"Interested in making a deal with me?"

"trade?"

The king was slightly taken aback, but then immediately spoke.

"You wish to communicate with me about the Three Seals of Heaven, Earth, and Man?"

Lu Zhou nodded.

"I am not as good as you in the practice of these three seals. I would like to ask you to give me some guidance!"

"If there's anything you want, just tell me!"

Upon hearing Lu Zhou's words, the King of Men did not immediately agree to Lu Zhou's request, nor did he mention any conditions.

Instead, she looked at Lu Zhou with a somewhat strange expression and asked in confusion.

"Although the Three Seals of Heaven, Earth, and Man are powerful, they are still no match for the true Imperial Techniques and the Nine Secrets!"

"Given your situation, you shouldn't need to waste your energy on the Three Seals of Heaven, Earth, and Man!"

Lu Zhou smiled and said.

Do you think I'm putting the cart before the horse?

The king remained silent and did not respond.

But her attitude says it all.

She was clearly tacitly approving of Lu Zhou's behavior, which was putting the cart before the horse.

Lu Zhou's voice reached her ears again.

"In my opinion, whatever method or technique it is, since it was created, it must have its merits!"

"The Three Seals of Heaven, Earth, and Man are indeed inferior to the Imperial Techniques and the Nine Secrets!"

"But these three arts point directly to the profound mysteries of heaven, earth, and humanity, and have unique characteristics belonging to these three seals!"

"From this perspective, even some imperial techniques are inferior to these three seals!"

"Therefore, if you have the opportunity, it is very necessary to study these three seals in depth!"

At this point, Lu Zhou paused before continuing.

"Many years ago, I debated with another human king who had lived for nearly four thousand years. His human king seal was inferior to yours."

"Is there a human king in this world who has lived for nearly four thousand years? Who is he? Where is he?"

Lu Zhou knew that when the Human King heard that there was actually another Human King living in the same world as her, he would definitely be moved.

And this is indeed the case.

Lu Zhou's words were suddenly interrupted by the King of Men.

Furthermore, she bombarded Lu Zhou with a series of three questions.

Throughout history, the "human king" style has actually been quite common.

But basically, only one of them appears every 50,000 to 60,000 years.

This point is clearly stated in the original work.

But whether in the original work or in the present, there have been instances in this universe where two human kings coexist in the same era.

This can only mean that this era was indeed a rare golden age.

"There is indeed another Human King Body!"

"When I met him, he was in the Human King's Palace on the ancient star of Ziwei."

Lu Zhou explained the situation of the old man king in the Ziwei Human King Palace to the woman king in front of him.

She was deeply moved by what she heard, and her emotions fluctuated greatly.

No other reason.

Because the woman king in front of Lu Zhou had a very similar experience to that of the Ziwei Human King when she was young.

When she was young, she was severely injured by a powerful enemy because she possessed the body of a human king.

She also almost died.

But her life was better than that of the old man Ziwei.

At that time, her lineage had a senior sage in charge, and it was that senior sage who saved her.

Although it did not completely restore her health, it allowed her to live to this day and be able to cultivate normally.

Few people know that the severe injury she suffered in her childhood actually caused her to harm the King's source, and this major problem has not been resolved to this day.

She should have been on par with the first generation of the King.

However, because her human king essence was damaged when she was young, her human king essence is incomplete.

This has turned her into a weakened version of the Human King.

It's hard to imagine that she is now a young supreme being renowned throughout the ancient road, comparable to the Great Demon God Gu Huang.

If she hadn't suffered that calamity in her childhood, which turned her into a weakened version of the Human King's Body, who knows how strong she would be now!

This also shows that the Human King Physique has been famous throughout the world since ancient times, and is recognized by cultivators as an extremely powerful physique.

There is indeed a reason for this.

The strength of the Human King's Body fully justifies its reputation, which will be sung for eternity.

Lu Zhou had no idea that the female king before him had also suffered a severe injury in her childhood.

Unbeknownst to them, she was actually just a weakened version of the Human King's Body, and harbored hidden dangers.

It was not mentioned in the original work.

The woman in front of him, Wang, didn't tell Lu Zhou any of this.

Ultimately, this is only the second time they've met, and the first time they've had a face-to-face conversation.

They weren't familiar with each other.

We don't have any close relationship.

I only have a general understanding of the other party.

There's absolutely no certainty about the other person's true character.

Furthermore, this matter is related to his own fundamental secret.

Even if they are very familiar with each other, this Queen probably wouldn't tell Lu Zhou these things!
Regardless, Lu Zhou achieved his goal.

After some communication.

This woman, the Queen, agreed to have a proper discussion with Lu Zhou.

She wanted to share her insights and experiences in cultivating the Three Seals of Heaven, Earth, and Man with Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou reiterated that he would not let her work for nothing or suffer any losses, and that she could make any demands she might have.

After thinking for a moment, the woman king spoke to Lu Zhou.

"It's up to you!"
