Fights Break Sphere: Rock King's Leisurely Journey into the Mortal World

Chapter 82 Wendy's Missed Call

Yao Chen thought to himself: "Why do I have a bad feeling? Zhongli won't be unwilling to help me because of this? Come to think of it, we are not very close friends..." He was uneasy and didn't know how to deal with it next.

"Of course, from a friend's perspective, it's reasonable for your Uncle Hun and I to assist your Master Pharmacist. However, the specifics of our assistance require careful consideration. Refining a physical body is no easy task. Even your Uncle Hun, at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Huang realm, needs to constantly consume Dou Qi-recovering pills while transferring energy, let alone a mere Seven-Star Dou Wang. It would take dozens of days, not to mention a long period of weakness. Your Uncle Hun and Uncle Xuwu are not without their mortal enemies."

"So, without a deep bond like that of a lifelong sworn brother, most people would likely not agree to your Master Yao's extremely difficult request. After all, no one wants to be burdened with such a heavy debt of gratitude, right?"

"But you are different. Your Medicine Master has taught you knowledge of Dou Qi, the art of refining medicine, and advanced fighting skills and techniques. As his direct disciple, it is your responsibility to help your master escape his current embarrassing situation. Therefore, I think that as a disciple, Master Zhong still recommends that you rely on your own strength to refine a body for your master. Moreover, your Medicine Master himself possesses the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, which invisibly reduces the need for you to use one Strange Fire."

Xiao Yan pondered Zhongli's words seriously. After a long while, he slowly nodded and responded:

"Master Zhong is right! I was indeed too tricky before. Since I promised Master Yao that I would rely on my own strength to help him refine his body, I shouldn't turn all my responsibilities into a huge favor that Master Yao will have to repay in the future. Xiao Yan has learned his lesson."

Just as Xiao Yan was about to bow to Zhongli, Zhongli met Yao Chen's eyes behind him. With Zhongli's six thousand years of experience, he could have kept his emotions completely hidden, but at this moment, Zhongli deliberately raised the corners of his mouth slightly to face Yao Chen.

Yao Chen felt extremely regretful and blamed himself for having given the bottle of "Jiao Gei Brand Soul Juice" aphrodisiac.

However, regretting at this moment is of no use. It is better to calmly analyze the current situation.

It was obvious: what was certain at the moment was that the one beside him was definitely Soul Emperor and Void Devouring Flame. Because the realm of Dou Qi could be suppressed, but the two did not deliberately suppress their own soul realm. With his innate talent for keen perception of soul power, Yao Chen could clearly feel that Void Devouring Flame's soul realm was exactly the same as that of Yao Dan, the patriarch of the Yao clan. Both had reached the level of Heavenly Realm Great Perfection.
As for Yao Chen, although his soul realm has not yet reached the great perfection of the heavenly realm, he was fortunate enough to see the Yaodan clan leader refining pills when he was young, so he has a certain understanding of the soul realm of the great perfection of the heavenly realm.

In Yao Chen's eyes, the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm is like a towering mountain. Although it is high into the clouds, Yao Chen firmly believes that with his unremitting efforts and extraordinary talent, he will be able to reach the top one day.

However, to the Emperor Soul's soul, the Heavenly Realm Great Perfection was nothing more than a towering "hill." Its ground level was already several times higher than the Heavenly Realm Great Perfection. Furthermore, the middle and upper parts of the mountain were completely void. This meant that even if one were fortunate enough to climb to the summit, looking up, there would be no visible peak to climb onto. Unless one could fly, it would be impossible to reach even a single inch.

This is also the frustration of every powerful person who has reached the Heavenly Realm of Great Perfection. After all, at that level, hard work and talent alone are far from enough; rare opportunities and extraordinary luck are also required.

Once upon a time, Yao Chen considered achieving the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm his ultimate lifelong goal. However, just a quarter of an hour ago, after witnessing the boundless Emperor Soul's soul, even lying down, Yao Chen's heart underwent a complete transformation. For someone like Yao Chen, who never gives up, facing a towering mountain might make him feel deeply exhausted. But after witnessing towering peaks hundreds, even thousands of times taller than that mountain, he felt that he should move faster and faster...

However, all the questions pointed to Zhongli: Why would Soul Emperor and Void Devouring Flame obey Zhongli's orders? In fact, the answer had already emerged in Yao Chen's mind, that is, Zhongli was a hidden Dou Emperor, but Yao Chen just couldn't accept it at the moment.

However, after eliminating all impossibilities, even if the remaining answer is absurd, it must be the truth.

"But why would Zhongli instruct the two to conceal their cultivation? If Zhongli intended to cultivate Xiao Yan, then even without using his own resources, simply ordering Emperor Hun Tian to bring Xiao Yan to the Soul Realm and cultivating Xiao Yan with the Soul Clan's vast resources would be a simple matter. Although Xiao Yan does not have the bloodline of a Dou Emperor, he possesses extraordinary cultivation talent. Even I have to admit this. But in reality, Zhongli did not make such a choice. The only possibility is that Zhongli intended to shape Xiao Yan into a truly powerful being, or even... a powerful being who has reached the Dou Emperor realm!"

As his thoughts drifted to this point, Yao Chen felt a quiet sense of relief. In the past, he had often resented Zhongli, Xiao Yan's master, for placing the entire burden of teaching and imparting knowledge on his shoulders. Now, reflecting on it, perhaps this was partly out of trust in him, partly to encourage Xiao Yan's sincerity in refining his body, and partly to test Xiao Yan's inner self. After all, if Xiao Yan ultimately betrayed his trust like Han Feng, Zhongli would never so easily pass on the Dou Emperor's mantle.

"It seems that even if the bet doesn't go well this time, it won't be as miserable as last time. Tsk tsk tsk, Xiao Yan's fate is truly extraordinary, but it's also full of trials. I can imagine that if Xiao Yan later becomes as ungrateful and heartless as Han Feng, with Zhongli Dou Di's methods, I'm afraid... Xiao Yan's end will be a million times more miserable than Han Feng's."

"However, since the Soul Emperor has, in a sense, joined our ranks, I may no longer need to hide and guard against the Soul Palace's pursuit. This is undoubtedly great news for me. However, I still cannot easily reveal this to outsiders. After all, there are powerful people in the world who can capture soul bodies. Some even go to the Soul Palace branch halls and spend a lot of money to purchase soul bodies for their use."

At this moment, the red light in Zhongli's Earthly Chains suddenly became brighter. Zhongli's mind moved slightly, and he instantly teleported Xiaofeng, who was wearing Wendy's divine armor, out.

Just as Xiaofeng appeared, Zhongli's mind was filled with Wendy's numerous missed calls...
