Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 152: The Seed of Hope

If Qian Daoliu wanted to attack Zhongli, he certainly wouldn't have arranged for Yue Guan to come and invite him.

Instead, it was during the finals that Zhong Li "walked right into the trap"!

As the sect leader, he had no reason not to watch the finals since the disciples of the Body Sect were participating in the competition.

The finals will be held in Wuhun City.

Even if they didn't come to invite him, Zhong Li would still go to Wuhun City. Isn't this a great opportunity to make a move?

Arranging for Yue Guan to come and invite him in advance was merely a matter of courtesy, to let Zhongli know that such a thing had happened, not to scheme against him!

Everyone knows that Zhongli is a very "polite" person. After learning this news, Qian Daoliu fell into deep thought and finally sent someone to invite him.

It wasn't that he was afraid of Zhongli. As a peerless Douluo of the same level 99, he was even able to mobilize part of the angelic divine power when he was in Wuhun City, reaching another level.

Even if we can't kill Zhongli, defeating him shouldn't be a problem.

That is, after all, a power of another level, which is beyond the comprehension of a level 99 expert.

Zhong Li: "..."

It's no wonder Qian Daoliu thought that way, since he didn't know the specifics of Zhongli's situation.

From a purely rational perspective, there is absolutely no problem with his thinking in this way.

However, he underestimated Zhongli's true strength and overestimated his own divine power...

A frog at the bottom of a well has a narrow view.

After becoming the strongest creature in the well, it remained unchallenged for decades.

But one day, a dragon king came to the well...

A frog that has never seen the Dragon King naturally does not know how powerful the Dragon King is, and may even fantasize that the Dragon King is a little bit weaker than itself.

He invited Zhongli with proper etiquette because Zhongli was different from him!

Qian Daoliu was able to break through to level 99 because of the Angel God, which allowed him to reach the Peerless Douluo level in such a short time.

It was the angels who made them, and it was the angels who brought them down.

Reaching such a level does not come without a price!

The price he paid was that he would never be able to break through to the god level in his lifetime, and he wouldn't even have the qualification to follow in the footsteps of the god level.

Zhong Li is different. According to the "data", Zhong Li was lucky and "fortuitously" completed the second awakening of his main body's martial soul. He also killed a 100,000-year-old soul beast, which enabled him to break through to level 99.

Furthermore, Zhong Li possesses twin martial souls, and his second martial soul has not yet been equipped with a spirit ring!

Level 99, second martial soul without attached soul rings.

Why think so much?

Zhongli might be the only genius in ten thousand years to break through to godhood without inheriting a divine position, relying solely on his own strength!

This is one of the reasons why Qian Daoliu wanted to see Zhongli.

At this moment, Zhong Li stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

What could be the reason that Qian Daoliu wanted to meet him?

Is it because of his strength?

Or perhaps it's because of Qianrenxue?

Before meeting Qian Daoliu, no matter how much he thought about it or how accurate it was, it was all just speculation.

Shaking his head, Zhong Li stopped thinking about it. He would deal with these questions after they arrived in Wuhun City.

After a while, Yue Guan finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving a satisfactory reply.

Zhongli asked him to tell the Grand Master (Qian Daoliu) that he would keep the appointment.

In this way, the mission can be considered successfully completed.

"Every time I send food to Paimon, it's either because the Pope gave me a mission, or the High Priest asked me to pass on a message..."

"When will this ever end?!"

Yue Guan sighed and thought to himself.

Being a subordinate is so difficult!

He, a titled Douluo of level 95, actually managed to offend not a single one of them!

Even the Pope, whom you can't afford to offend, is someone you have to pay homage to.

But he also couldn't afford to offend the target of his mission!

There is even the constant danger of falling...

Just as Yue Guan was about to take her leave, Zhong Li suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up.

The principle of reciprocity is the essence of human relationships.

Thinking of this, Zhongli did not hesitate and casually waved his hand, and a seed appeared on the table.

When the seed appeared, Paimon didn't react at all, but Yue Guan was stunned at first, then his whole body trembled, his eyes widened involuntarily, and his mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

"Martial...Martial God..."

This seed is the seed of the Qirong Tongtianju (奇茸通天菊).

Although the Qirong Tongtianju was eaten by Chiyu, many mature seeds were left behind.

If these seeds are cultivated properly, with the assistance of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, it is not impossible for them to all grow into new Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemums.

Of course, even with the assistance of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, which greatly shortens the time it takes for the immortal herbs to mature, it still takes a very long time.

For Zhongli, a single seed of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum is practically nothing.

But for Yue Guan, this was more than just a seed; it was hope!

He is the hope of becoming a true strongman!

"Your Majesty..."

Yue Guan stared intently at the seeds on the table, swallowed hard, and looked on incredulously.

A divine item, in legend...

What kind of weird legend is this?!

His martial spirit is none other than the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum!

If it were any other immortal herb, he might hesitate, but the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum was something Yue Guan was very familiar with!

After regaining her senses, a hint of doubt flashed in Yue Guan's eyes. She looked at the "Seed of Hope" on the table and then glanced at Zhong Li.

He didn't understand Zhongli's purpose in bringing out such a "treasure".

To others, it might just be a sunflower seed, something that serves no purpose.

But for Yue Guan, these seeds are a priceless treasure!

If properly nurtured, he might be able to see an even greater realm in his lifetime.

"This item is a gift to Elder Yueguan."

Zhong Li picked up his teacup and said calmly.

It's as if this thing is completely unimportant.

Well, for him, these seeds really aren't important.

After saying this, Zhongli took another sip of tea.

When Yue Guan made this tea, he put a lot of effort into it. Every single tea leaf was carefully selected; he didn't just do it perfunctorily.

In this regard, giving him a seed of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum would not be unreasonable.

Zhongli's casual remark left Yue Guan stunned and somewhat lost in thought.

Such a precious "treasure" was actually given to him by the God of War!

They specially gave him a seed of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. It would be impossible for Zhongli not to know its value!

Knowing its value, Zhongli still gave it to him.

Yue Guan felt a chill run down her spine, as if something inside her had shattered.

Having worked diligently in the Spirit Hall for so many years, the rewards he received were few and far between, mostly just material rewards that did not help his cultivation or hobbies in any way.

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty the God of War!"

Yue Guan cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said solemnly.

He had no reason to refuse; this was exactly what he needed.

"Your Majesty, if you ever give the order, Yue Guan and even ghosts will brave mountains of knives and seas of fire for you!"

Yue Guan spoke these words sincerely.

If it weren't for Zhongli, the ghost would not have been able to complete its second awakening!

This phrase originally meant ghosts and demons.

Now, all that's added is his name, Yue Guan.
