Bearing the blue sky

Chapter 246 Ready to Depart! Split Up!

The True Monarch of Oblivion looked relaxed, as if his cultivation was still intact.

But at least in Zhu Ge's perception, the Annihilation True Monarch was a complete mortal.

However, those at the highest level above seem to see things differently.

"Huh? That person named Zhu Ge seems to have indeed become a mortal?"

"The aura of the Annihilation True Monarch has become much stronger; I can't even sense it anymore."

"What a pity, what a pity, we arrived too late!"

"The Annihilation True Monarch Sword has already yielded considerable gains by slaying the barren lands of Southern Yue and Myanmar. Furthermore, it has encountered the unprecedented event of the birth of a new Confucian doctrine, which is truly enviable."

"However, Zhu Ge was the founder of the new Confucian way, so he must know something, right?"

"

"Indeed, but even so, wouldn't it be shameless for us to force him?"

Many people were discussing it, and none of them doubted that the True Monarch of Annihilation had lost all his cultivation. Instead, they thought that the True Monarch of Annihilation had made a new breakthrough.

"Don't even think about messing with Zhu Ge." The Annihilation True Monarch took a sip of wine and wiped his mouth. "A year from now, I will take him to Shengjing. Then, you can slowly seek his guidance!"

Bringing a blessing to Shengjing a year later?!

Many were surprised.

"Only one year? You can comprehend that new path in just one year?!"

"The talent of the True Lord of Obliteration is truly enviable."

"Back then, he was ranked eleventh on the 'Imperial Ranking,' who knew he was truly terrifying!"

"No, that scoundrel is incredibly lazy. What if he tries to trick us?"

"Exactly! If he masters it and then kills Zhu Ge, what's the point of us learning? Are we going to have to become his disciples?"

Many people were surprised.

After all, a year is really not a lot for them.

In their view, the reason why the True Lord of Annihilation wanted to keep Zhu Ge by his side was clearly to squeeze everything out of Zhu Ge so that the new path could develop better.

However, the True Monarch of Annihilation smiled and said, "During this year, I will also take Zhu Ge and travel in the form of mortals. Anyone whose cultivation level does not exceed one major realm of Zhu Ge is welcome to challenge me."

"If the challenge is successful, I wouldn't mind having one more observer."

"If it's a matter of a major realm above, I'll simply kill it. What do you all think?"

"If possible, I'll sign this oath; otherwise, I'll get annoyed by the endless stream of people coming to me."

"Only by signing the oath can you participate in the division and learning of the new path, how about it?"

The True Lord of Oblivion spoke: "I have stripped him of his new path, and I should also give him a promise. If he can shine brightly in Shengjing City a year from now, I will take him as my disciple. Please do not make things difficult for me."

The expressions on everyone's faces immediately softened.

In their view, this is a means of oversight.

At least both Annihilation True Lord and Zhu Ge are under the supervision of everyone, so they won't run away or be killed.

Moreover, the fact that someone at a higher level is challenging Zhu Ge might reveal glimpses of Zhu Ge's new path.

As for the idea of ​​taking on apprentices, the crowd didn't react much.

They've taken on quite a few apprentices, and they've long since lost interest in taking on more.

Unless the apprentice possesses something they desire.

So, Lord Lantern silently conjured a piece of paper made of spiritual energy in the air, on which was recorded what Lord Annihilation had just said.

Seeing this, those beings descended their thoughts one by one, leaving their breath on the oath.

Afterwards, Lord Lantern said nothing more, accepted the oath, and his body quietly disappeared into the void.

But the True Lords above have not left yet.

"But doesn't this blessing song make one a mortal?" a True Lord asked. "How can one withstand the challenge? Simply through the power of martial arts body tempering?"

What they want to see is not martial arts, but a new path of Confucianism and Taoism.

"Haha, you idiot." The Annihilation True Monarch laughed and cursed, "This is a new divine ability I've developed, it can conceal one's aura—hmm, it does feel pretty good to curse someone like this—"

As he spoke, he smacked his lips.

But the True Lord who had asked the question in the sky had to shut his mouth and dared not retort.

Who doesn't know the prestige of the True Lord of Obliteration?

At the instruction of the Annihilation True Lord, Zhu Ge also unleashed the effects of his special ability.

The next instant, countless divine senses swept over him once again.

"Second Realm? Not bad, not bad."

"Not only is he exceptionally intelligent, but he also cultivates Confucianism, Taoism, and martial arts, which is truly commendable."

"I just don't know how strong they are. I haven't paid attention to the history books before."

"Your combat strength is too weak, so don't even think about it. Leave it to me."

"Hey? Do you think I'm stupid? But let's not even think about it. In the True Self Realm, there aren't many who can defeat the Annihilation Realm."

""

These beings' divine senses swept over Zhu Ge, and some of them considered taking him as a disciple.

However, with the True Lord of Annihilation blocking the way, no one went too far for the time being.

"Alright, alright, get lost!" The Annihilation True Lord stretched. "I'm exhausted from stripping away the new path; I'm going to take a nap. We'll set off again tomorrow!"

After saying that, the Annihilation True Monarch actually closed his eyes, and a few seconds later, a soft snoring sound could be heard.

Seeing this, Lord Lantern said nothing, his expression calm, and disappeared into the void.

The rest of them did the same, one by one departing.

It comes quickly and goes quickly.

All that remains is a clear blue sky with a gentle breeze and light clouds.

There's also Zhu Ge trying hard to keep a straight face, and the True Lord of Oblivion who's actually asleep.

"Bo-er-yi"

With a clear sound, several people suddenly appeared not far away.

It was none other than Liu Jianjian, Yan Liyuan, and the others who had been hidden by the Lantern True Lord.

Several people gathered around, and Zhu Ge briefly explained what had just happened.

Of course, Zhu Ge did not mention that Hunmie Zhenjun had lost all his cultivation.

And now, it seems that the Lantern-Carrying True Lord has no intention of coming out.

Looking at the Lantern-Carrying True Lord lying on the ground, Liu Jianjian couldn't help but ask, "Master, shall we wait here with the True Lord?"

She glanced around, feeling a sense of unease: "The True Lord is asleep. Will those powerful figures suddenly appear and kill us?"

"No." Zhu Ge smiled and shook her head, then looked around and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

How long has the Six Paths Palace been established?

Now, however, he is about to leave Shengjing.

Shengjing, the capital of the entire territory of the Great Sheng Dynasty!

It's not enough to just talk about Shengjing; the most important thing is that Shengjing is the name of several large cities that came together.

The five cities of Chang'an, Luoyang, Bianliang, Chaoge, and Jinling were combined to form Shengjing!

Sheng means vast and prosperous.

Jing means tall and magnificent.

The area also boasts the most powerful individuals in the world.

Even today, many years after the passing of the Holy Emperor, Shengjing remains the center of the entire Great Sheng Dynasty.

Of course, this is just the destination.

To reach this destination, Zhu Ge must pass through at least several territories, including Shu, Wu, and Qin.

This world is not the same as Zhu Ge's previous life. Based solely on what he has seen and heard in Honghe Prefecture and the knowledge he has gained from books, he simply cannot imagine what he will experience along the way.

The most likely outcome is that he will encounter some formidable enemies and die.

Zhu Ge glanced at the sleeping Annihilation True Lord lying on the ground and felt extremely distressed.

Moreover, everything here in Honghe Prefecture will probably have to be abandoned.

As for what to do once you get to Shengjing?

Zhu Ge had no choice but to obey the will of the True Lord of Obliteration.

With the wisdom of Lord Lantern and Lord Annihilation, they must have thought things through carefully before arranging for him to go to Shengjing.

But just then, the voice of the True Lord of the Lantern rang in his mind: "Your main body can go, but your clone can stay in the Six Paths Palace and I will keep an eye on it for you."

"Now that Honghe Prefecture is under our control, it is time to incorporate the southern Vietnamese and Burmese wilderness into our Great Sheng territory."
