Supreme Golden Palace

Chapter 101 The Supreme Man (Part )

Mountains and seas,

Inside the palace of the State of Xu, bronze lamps were placed between the black jade pillars, casting mottled light and shadows. Lu Shangping sat on a wooden couch, writing furiously at his desk. The desk was piled with bamboo slips. He held the pen in his right hand, and the tip of the pen rubbed the surface of the slips, making a rustling sound.

Different from Yanfu Lu Shang who was committed to the Tao, Dahuang Lu Shang had been diligent and frugal since he came to the throne, working day and night to manage state affairs and prepare for war. During his three years on the throne, the state power grew stronger day by day, and the people of Xudu all praised him as a wise man.

Of course, in a sense, the two Lu Shangs' paths lead to the same destination, but in the Taiyi Divine Way of the Great Wilderness, power is fist strength, and to master power is to master fist strength. The greater the power, the greater the supernatural power.

Therefore, Dahuang Lu Shang held the country's tools and followed the will of heaven. Although he devoted himself to the country, it was also a kind of practice.

Suddenly, Lu Shang paused, and after a long pause, he exclaimed, "Fate, it's truly fate!"

Yanfu Lu Shang obtained the Tianyi True Water to nourish his blood and stimulate Gonggong's divinity. He actually went against his innate nature, and his blood became so refined and pure that he became a pure-blooded Gonggong, almost like the legitimate son of the ancient gods.

As soon as Yanfu Lu Shang's pure-blooded body of Gonggong was completed, Dahuang Lu Shang also felt it.

They are originally one and share everything with each other, whether it is cultivation, knowledge, bones, blood, or even strength and physique. As long as one side improves, the other side will also gain accordingly.

Therefore, after Yanfu Lu Shang achieved the pure-blooded body of Gonggong, Dahuang Lu Shang also became the pure-blooded Gonggong.

After becoming a pure-blooded Gonggong, Lu Shang immediately felt the changes in himself.

Energy surged between breaths, and he seemed to resonate with the Water Yuan Avenue within the territory of Xu State. Every ups and downs of the riverbed in the distance and every surge of the surrounding undercurrents were all under his control.

In the world of Jambu, pure-blooded Gonggong is just a strange talent and physique. Although it is extremely magical, there is still some gap compared with those natural saints.

The natural born saint mentioned here refers to someone like Sun Wukong who was born by heaven and earth. When Sun Wukong attained enlightenment, he called himself a natural born saint and was destined to become the founder of a sect.

But in the Great Wilderness Mountains and Seas, the pure-blooded Gonggong is the son of Shuiyuan Avenue and a natural water god.

When Lu Shang became a pure-blooded Gonggong, the imprints of the great Dao that had been scattered in the chaos and nothingness by generations of Gonggongs were drawn by the Shui Yuan Dao and gathered on Lu Shang, causing Lu Shang's energy to continue to rise.

"Supreme Man!"

The Gonggong clan had been naval masters for generations, and the legacy they had accumulated was unimaginable. These imprints of the great Dao directly pushed Lu Shang to break free from the shackles and step into the realm of the supreme man.

Everything will come naturally, and you will reach the root. You will become a saint and live to be eight hundred years old.

The imprints of the Great Dao continued to gather, and Lu Shang made courageous progress with almost every breath. After breaking through the level of the Supreme Man, his energy was still gushing out, as if it would never end.

The remaining blessings of Gonggong are still pouring in.

Lu Shang stood up and paced slowly, feeling the power of the supreme level.

The way of the supreme man is to become a saint and transcend the ordinary, just like the Taoist immortals in the world of Jambu.

The Taoist immortals have a lifespan of 500 years, while the people in the wilderness have a lifespan of 800 years. Perhaps this is the only advantage of the primitive and rough Taiyi Taoism.

Boom! !

Outside the palace, thunder exploded, shaking the black jade pillar so much that it trembled slightly.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wu is here to see you," a palace servant whispered outside the door at this moment.

Hearing this, Lu Shang withdrew his gaze from the swirling rain outside the window and said in a deep voice, "Please invite Prime Minister Wu in."

"Yes," replied the palace servant outside the door.

After a while, Wu Wenhe walked slowly into the palace and bowed, saying, "Old minister Wu Yun greets His Majesty."

Lü Shang smiled as he stepped forward to help Wu Wenhe up, saying, "Prime Minister, we are father and son, no need to be so polite."

Lü Shang truly respected this old man, but Wu Wen and this old man strictly observed the etiquette between the ruler and his subjects.

Even when Lu Shang first ascended the throne, he gave this old man the privilege of entering and leaving the palace without any prior permission.

However, during the three years that Lu Shang was in power, Wu Wenhe never used his privileges even once. Every time he entered the palace, he had to wait for the palace servants to inform him before entering the palace.

Upon hearing this, Wu Wenhe straightened up and said, "Your Majesty, you are the ruler of a country, a descendant of the Emperor of Heaven. Although you have treated me with kindness and as close as a relative, there is a hierarchy in the court. How dare I disrupt public order for personal gain?"

Lu Shang sighed softly, patted Wu Wenhe's arm, and said, "Prime Minister, you always put the country first. It is a blessing for our country. But I feel bad that you are so distant."

Wu Wenhe said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I have received great kindness from my late emperor. When he passed away, he instructed me to assist you with all my heart and soul to protect the country of Xu."

"I, an old minister, dare not betray the trust of my late emperor. I always prioritize the country. Your Majesty is so kind and treats me like a father and son. I am deeply grateful and will repay your kindness with all my heart and soul."

After saying that, he finally noticed that there was something wrong with Lu Shang's aura, and looked at him with a look of surprise.

"Your Majesty, please forgive my humble opinion, but have you achieved enlightenment?"

Wu Wen and himself are both supreme beings. How could he not sense Lu Shang's supreme-level aura?

However, Lu Shang was less than twenty years old and had already entered the path of the sage. Even for Wu Wenhe, who was calm and composed, it was hard to believe.

After receiving a positive answer, Wu Wenhe's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, his lips trembled slightly, and he was speechless for a long time.

Before he was twenty, he had already attained the status of a sage, standing at the pinnacle of humanity. With such talent and ability, he was simply a young emperor of heaven, destined to ascend to become a god.

If the True Man level is considered a stellar talent among the myriad nations of the Nine Provinces, the backbone of the nation, then the Supreme Man level is the pillar of the nation, the fortress of the state. Before Lü Shang achieved the Supreme Man status, the state of Xu, though known as a minor hegemon, had only one Supreme Man, Wu Wenhe.

It can be said that a supreme being is enough to support a nation and truly become a strong man.

"Your Majesty,"

Wu Wenhe came back to his senses and said in a loud voice: "You have such talent, maybe it is really the prosperity of my country and the prosperity of the country."

"I came to the palace this time to urge you to postpone recruiting soldiers. Our country already has ten brigades of soldiers. Recruiting more would be too heavy a burden on the people and detrimental to the well-being of our country. I never expected that Your Majesty would actually attain the Way of the Supreme Being. Could this be Heaven's will?"

"Recruit soldiers, we must recruit soldiers, even if it costs us everything,"

Wu Wenhe said excitedly, "The Emperor's days are numbered. In two years at most, he will pass away. The nations are ready to make a move. A time of great contention is approaching, when all nations will rise up and fight for the Mandate of Heaven."

"Your Majesty, at the age of less than twenty, you have already attained the Way of the Supreme Being. You possess extraordinary talent and brilliance, almost comparable to the sons of the great imperial families. In the future, you may be able to use the State of Xu as a base to subjugate the direct line of the Gonggong clan, replacing them and becoming the leader of the Gonggong clan states."

"When the time comes, I will use Gonggong's army to conquer all the other states, defeat the Xia emperor, unify the nine states, rule the world, and pass down the rule of Gonggong."

"Your Majesty, there is much to be done!"
