Ever since he knew that the Longevity Lamp would become a nine-star Luminarist, he had been suspicious, especially when he thought of the ravings that sounded from all directions when his mother died. He guessed that there might be some kind of pusher behind it.
Otherwise, why would a six-star Luminarist go to the deep mountains and old forests to give birth? One had to know that a seven-star Luminarist was already at the peak of the state capital. A six-star Luminarist was basically at the level of the patriarchs of the large families in the state capital. At the critical moment of the delivery, why would he go to the deep mountains and old forests?
“Is it the story of the dragon-slaying warrior, or the story of the confrontation between darkness and light…?”
No matter what the situation was, the root causes are all very straightforward and simple. There were not so many twists and turns. It was nothing more than a certain expert wanting to become stronger, or the dark forces wanting to occupy more territory and divide the benefits, causing the light forces to fight with them.
Under the sun, there’s nothing new. While he was thinking, the dark figure had already given his orders and quickly left. Shen Ping continued to follow closely behind. He really wanted to know what the source behind this was.
He tailed them all the way.
The dark figure was a five-star Luminarist. He was strong and fast, but he could not shake off Shen Ping at all. No matter how careful he was, he had changed several locations and disguised himself. He was still firmly locked on by Shen Ping’s true spirit aura.
Finally, the dark figure arrived at the underground space of a brothel.
Shen Ping did not expect this place to be the headquarters of the Dark Luminarist. His true spirit instantly sensed more than 20 Luminarists. Every Luminarist’s aura was filled with blood. The lowest was a five-star Luminarist. Compared to the Luminarists in the government office, the life lamps of the Luminarists the dark forces burned very violently and unstable because their Life Lamps were here to plunder other Luminarists.On the other hand, the core seven-star Luminarist had a very stable life lamp in his body, but the smell of blood on his body was also abnormally strong. Clearly, he had a way to stabilize his life lamp. Perhaps he used this to attract other Luminarists.
“There are even seven-star Luminarists. This group of dark forces is really not simple!”
There are seven kingdoms in the world. The highest level of a Luminarist was nine stars. It was a legendary level and elusive. The remaining National Guardians were eight-star high-grade Luminarists. They were located in the capital, and the highest level in the state capital was seven-star high-grade. For example, Shen Ping’s Life Qi talent was seven-star high-grade. That was why he was spared no effort to be roped in by the three families.
This was someone who was destined to become the future Dean of the State Capital. Now, he was a six-star high-grade Luminarist. He was still two years away from accumulating seven stars, but if he wanted to grow to seven stars high-grade, he still needed nearly a hundred years. However, with the nourishment of the Longevity Lamp and the promotion of his true soul power, he could improve quickly. He did not need to grow for a hundred years at the seven stars level.
However, every seven-star Luminarist was very powerful. If it was in the previous technological civilization, it would be equivalent to a Lord Envoy. A mere Lv County had such a seven-star Luminarist. It indeed surprised Shen Ping.
“High Lord.”
“Is everything done?”
“They have been informed that they will take control of the entire Lv County in two months.”
“Very good. As long as we obtain Lv County, we can use special methods to attract the vengeful spirits and let them devour the people to catalyze the vitality. At that time, we can absorb it. Firstly, we can quickly increase our strength, and secondly, we can stabilize the violent vitality lamp in your bodies.”
As soon as he said this, the eyes of the other Luminarists shone with desire.
Although the Dark Luminarists improved quickly, the side effects were really huge. If one was not careful, the life lamps in their bodies that they could not control would explode and die. Therefore, unless it was a last resort, no one would plunder other Luminarists.
Shen Ping looked puzzled. Every once in a while, the vengeful spirits would attack places with a lot of crowd like the county headquarters. Even if they used special methods to attract them, it was only temporary. If they did it too many times, it was inevitable that they would attract the attention of the prefecture capital and the state capital.
What were these dark forces thinking? They were undoubtedly courting death by doing this. He activated the Pupil of Flame Beast to check on the High Lord’s experiences in the next three days.
The High Lord stayed at the brothel for two days before leaving for the capital city. There was nothing special about him.
Helpless, Shen Ping could only follow this High Lord back to Lingzhou. It took half a month before this high lord came to the same brothel and met the group of dark luminarists he had met last time through Yang Yimo.
“Fire Lord, there’s news from the Marquis. Everything is ready. We’re just waiting for good news from you!”
The High Lord nodded. “Don’t worry, everything is going according to plan. As long as we control all the government offices in Lingzhou, the Marquis can easily seize more than half of Lingzhou. However, it’s more difficult in the state capital. The three great clans are very difficult to infiltrate.”
“Don’t worry about the three big families. Just surround the city.”
“Okay.”
Shen Ping came to a realization. It turned out that the Yan Kingdom wanted to declare war on the Yun Nation, but their thoughs of annexing Lingzhou were too simple. The main power of Lingzhou was the state capital. As long as the state capital was still around, there was not much meaning in occupying other places.
He continued to follow the High Lord as he didn’t think that’s the case.
Indeed, another ten days later, this High Lord arrived at a mountain cave at the border of the two countries and met an eight-star Luminarist.
“As long as the Yan Kingdom and the Yun Nation start a war, the eight-star luminarists of the Yun Nation will not let go of such an opportunity. They will definitely come to the battlefield. When the time comes, I can kill one and plunder its life lamp, advancing towards the legendary nine-star life lamp!”
The seven-star Luminarist could not help but ask, “Master, didn’t you say that only those with longevity lamps can become nine-star Luminarists?”
The lord smiled and said, “Of course, without the Longevity Lamp, we can’t break through the shackles, so we have to have the Longevity Lamp. Since we can’t change our fate, we can only sweep the Longevity Lamp over and graft it to ourselves. This way, we will have the Longevity Lamp.”
“Huh? You can plunder a longevity lamp?”
“This method is very difficult, but it’s not impossible. Work hard. When you break through to an eight-star Luminarist and I become a nine-star, I’ll teach you. As long as you can find a Luminarist with a longevity lamp, you have a chance to become a Legend!”
The seven-star Luminarist hurriedly said, “Thank you, my lord.”
Shen Ping’s expression froze. The longevity lamp could actually be plundered. The dark luminarist’s methods were indeed strange. However, he did not know if these words were true or not.
He felt that it should be very difficult. Otherwise, someone in history would have succeeded long ago. This world had developed for so many years, but he had never heard of it. It was probably this fellow’s delusion.
Defying the heavens and changing fate. It sounded good, but in this world shrouded by fate, everything was destined. How could it be so easy to change? Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but shake his head. It was a good idea, but there was a high chance that it was a delusion.
The True Spirit remembered the aura of this Luminarist. He wanted to see if the other party could really change his fate. However, this matter made him understand why his mother told him not to easily expose the longevity lamp. Perhaps it was because of this.
If the longevity lamp could really be plundered, all the eight-star Luminarists in the world would have such thoughts. After all, everyone wanted to become a nine-star legend.
“An eight-star dark luminarist wants to defy the heavens and change his fate, so he secretly promotes the war between the two countries and changes the fate of many people. If I can kill this dark luminarist, I’m afraid it will be difficult to change the destined war between the two countries. At most, it will affect them!
“Once momentum is generated, it’s hard to change!”
Once the momentum occurred, many people would be swept in. This was the tide of fate. Whether it was the foundation or the line of fate, they would be pushed by the tide.
“Since I’m also a force, should I go with the flow and not forcefully interfere with the changes? Should I let it develop, or should I go against the flow and fight against this eight-star Luminarist?”
Shen Ping fell into deep thought. In fact, no matter what he did, he would be affected in the end. In the end, he would even have to fight this eight-star Luminarist.
