Chapter 640 - 265: The World Has Long Suffered Under Yuanchu Mountain (3)
The Seventh Prince took out a sheet of parchment.
Chu Lingguang opened it and saw that the location marked with a red dot on the map was behind the snowy mountain, about a hundred li away, inside a snowy valley.
Merging with the strange object also required a special time and a specific point. It wasn’t something you could do just because you wanted to.
Take Xie Xiaohuan, for example.
A vine had clearly been planted in him, but after seeing Chu Lingguang, it had stuck to Chu Lingguang instead. If Xie Xiaohuan had successfully merged with it back then and awakened all its responsive power, how could Chu Lingguang have possibly been his match?
He wouldn’t have been able to kill him inside the Xie Family Castle.
This showed that not everyone could achieve compatibility with the vine.
Therefore, the knack for achieving this compatibility was crucial. If everyone else could master this knack, the merging process would become relatively smooth.
As for what would happen after everyone had merged, the Seventh Prince surely had other plans arranged. Chu Lingguang didn’t bother himself with that for now. He only thought about how Yuanchu Mountain had labeled anyone involved with the strange objects as demons, trying every means to eliminate them. ’Well, I’d like to see what they’ll do when everyone in the world who’s stuck at the peak of the True Martial Realm successfully merges with the vine.’
If they tried to kill everyone, it would certainly provoke a backlash. At that time, if the Seventh Prince issued a call to arms, countless people would respond. Overthrowing Yuanchu Mountain would no longer be impossible.
If Yuanchu Mountain backed down in the face of this difficulty and watched as everyone merged with the strange objects, its power would gradually wane in the future. They would no longer be able to control all the cultivation Skills for entering the Qi Refining Realm as they had before, keeping everyone from breaking through.
Once he thought this through, Chu Lingguang suddenly felt the plan was highly feasible. As long as everyone could merge with the strange objects, Yuanchu Mountain would collapse without a fight.
’But I’m already at the Qi Refining Realm.’
’Can I still merge with a strange object?’
’How can I help others find their point of compatibility? And how can I get everyone to master the knack for it?’
After tonight’s meeting, Chu Lingguang’s opinion of the imperial family had changed. However, he also learned from the Seventh Prince that the imperial family had many conservatives who were completely subservient to Yuanchu Mountain and had never even considered opposing them.
Therefore, this plan had to be carried out in secret and not be leaked to anyone.
Chu Lingguang committed this to heart.
The task of overthrowing Yuanchu Mountain was long and arduous. It was like treading on thin ice or standing at the edge of an abyss, where victory and defeat rested on a knife’s edge. After descending from the snowy mountain, Chu Lingguang returned to camp and feigned sleep for the night. The next day, he resumed practicing his spear-work with Zhaxi and the others outside the city.
The Seventh Prince’s appearance made him feel as if he had found a comrade-in-arms. Much of the frustration and resentment in his heart dissipated, and at the same time, he found a brand-new goal.
It was no longer just about seeking justice for his soldiers.
He would also unite with like-minded individuals to overthrow Yuanchu Mountain and change the cultivation order of this world. Suddenly, Chu Lingguang felt his goal had become grand, magnificent, and extraordinarily meaningful.
"I will seek justice for all the people of this world!"
(I hope everyone can continue to support me as always. This book won’t fall apart, and there are no signs of it collapsing. From the very beginning, I designed Chu Lingguang’s character to be someone who repays kindness and values relationships and loyalty. A personality like that can’t just be about simply grinding monsters and leveling up. The core concept of this book has been extraordinary from the start. Unfortunately, my writing ability is insufficient, and many parts have been written unsatisfactorily. I will do my best to write every detail well and reduce all sorts of logical loopholes.)
(Favors, favors. What Chu Lingguang wants are the Favors of everyone in the world.)
