Fishing the Myriad Heavens-Chapter 578 - Gu San Sheng’s Thoughts

Flowers of all kinds bloomed in the garden, filling the place with aromatic scents.

Petals and leaves would rustle with every move Bei Feng made.

“Ang!”

A sound similar to that of the wind came from the pile of leaves Bei Feng was gathering with his fist, forming it into a dragon!

The dragon looked realistic and full of life!

The next moment, Bei Feng changed his technique, and his Qi became much stronger. Just standing on the spot made him look like an infallible mountain!

“Bang!”

The air thickened as soon as Bei Feng executed a move. Like a huge moving mountain that could not be stopped, a bear rose up from the pile of fallen leaves.

Before the bear could move, Bei Feng raised and spread his arms, causing the bear to transform into an eagle!

Like an eagle, Bei Feng flapped his arms while staring in a fixed direction.

Next, Bei Feng exhaled a deep breath, which turned into a gust of wind, uprooting a few trees in front of him!

Wearing a smirk, Bei Feng opened his eyes.

“My Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique has finally reached the peak. Next step is to break through Fourth Layer and become a Thousand Year King!” Bei Feng muttered under his breath as he tried to calm down. Nobody would be able to resist the excitement of becoming a Thousand Year King. After all, it meant immortality!

One thousand years! It would have been enough to witness the change of rulers back in the olden days on Earth.

“This world’s resources are so much better than the Earth’s!” Bei Feng exclaimed. If he had remained on Earth, he would not have been able to improve so much within a short time.

Oh well, once things are settled here, I can focus on breaking through.

Bei Feng could feel that he had reached the limit of his current state; only by breaking through to Thousand Year King realm would he be able to see further improvements.

The Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique could no longer improve his cultivation, so he could only focus on enhancing his Qi.

Not only that, even the Minor Illumination Technique could not be further improved no matter what resources were being used.

After exterminating the Zeng Family and taking over its spot as the most powerful family in San Chuan City, they saw countless families come over to pay the Lu Family a visit and show their respect.

Many came with plenty of gifts in an attempt to pull strings and establish a friendship with the Lu Family.

After all, the top family’s opinion and attitude towards them were important.

On the other hand, many ex-members of the Lu Family had wanted to be accepted into the family again, but were rejected. They were allowed to leave this time, but might not be so lucky the next time.

Concentrating on breaking through, Lu Buhui did not bother about the events happening outside her room. Resources of all sorts were also being carried into her room every now and then.

“The City Lord has arrived!” a guard at the gate announced before bringing a line of six people into the Lu Manor.

A purple-robed man laughed and said in a friendly tone, “You must be Lu Bu. Haha, it’s much better to see you in person than to hear about you.”

He acted as though he was a friend of Lu Bu.

“You are flattering me, City Lord. It’s only because you have not stopped me. If not, I would not have succeeded in defeating the Zeng Family.” A smile appeared on Lu Bu’s face as he spoke to Gu San Sheng. Since Bei Feng was busy breaking through to Thousand Year King realm, Lu Bu was put in charge of household matters.

Gu San Sheng froze after hearing Lu Bu’s words. Why did Lu Bu mention the Zeng Family in front of him, who was from the Zeng Family? It was an awkward moment, which Gu San Sheng wished could end quickly.

Gu San Sheng stabilized his emotions, and replied, “General Lu must be joking. The Zeng Family brought it upon themselves. I would have struck them if you hadn’t.”

The two men sat in the pavilion and chatted, their talk consisting mostly in nonsense.

When a second pot of tea arrived at their table, Lu Bu could no longer bear putting up with the formalities and playing host.

However, he knew he had to be the one to attend to Gu San Sheng. After all, he was the city lord; as a Thousand Year King himself, only Lu Bu was appropriate enough to be the host. They could not possibly ask Han Kui or the other demonic beasts to play host to Gu San Sheng, right?

Gu San Sheng secretly rejoiced after he noticed that Lu Bu was getting bored. In negotiations, the first party to lose patience would usually be the losing party.

For Gu San Sheng, his main intention was to redistribute the profits and resources as the Lu Family had a Thousand Year King, meaning they were well-to-do. He just wanted to ensure some benefits for himself.

As for the Lu Family, being a newly rising family meant a less stable foundation, so they, too, would want to gain some benefits from their new position in the city.

As the Lu Family had only one actual Thousand Year King, excluding the two Demonic Beasts, paying a small price was understandable.

Lu Bu stopped beating around the bush, and said, “City Lord, let me just be frank. We the Lu Family are not interested in a small city like San Chuan City, so we will be leaving in a few days time.”

The surprised Gu San Sheng asked, “Oh? Is General Lu serious?”

“Of course. Also, we would like a favor from you, City Lord. Help us sell the remaining Zeng Family businesses.”

Lu Bu could understand Gu San Sheng’s doubts, so he was direct with his words.

Since San Chuan City would not be experiencing much change, nor would there be any new threat to Gu San Sheng, he felt relieved, and offered sincerely, “No problem. Also, General Lu has just broken through to Thousand Year King realm, right? I have an elixir pill which can greatly improve a Thousand Year King’s skills, so if you’re interested, you can drop by my manor anytime.”

The reason why it took Gu San Sheng a few days to visit the Lu Family was because he had been researching the Lu Family’s background. Although he could not find out why the Lu Family could improve so fast, he found out that Lu Bu was only adopted, so there might be a chance to win Lu Bu over.

In Gu San Sheng’s eyes, Lu Bu’s cultivation technique seemed ordinary, so it had to have been luck that Lu Bu reached Thousand Year King realm. Thus, by providing more knowledge to Lu Bu, there was a high chance that he might like Gu San Sheng.

“Keke, City Lord must be teasing me. Like I’ve said, San Chuan City is too small,” Lu Bu rejected without any hesitation. What a joke! After witnessing the outside world and its wonders, why would he be satisfied with staying in a small city?

Gu San Sheng’s face darkened, not having expected Lu Bu to reject him so quickly. Now he realized what Lu Bu meant by saying that San Chuan City was too small.

Gu San Sheng had thought that Lu Bu meant that the city was not big enough to fit two Thousand Year Kings, so in order not to be deemed a threat, Lu Bu wanted to make known their plans to leave.

But judging by current situation, Gu San Sheng realized that Lu Bu actually said it like what a city rat would tell a farm rat.

“Since you have made yourself clear, I shall settle some other matters and not hold you back any longer.”

Lu Bu had enough of the fake formalities, and thus decided to cut straight to his point instead of beating around the bush. Having no concern for the city lord’s face, Lu Bu turned to leave.

Gu San Sheng remained in the pavilion, looking pissed. The table in front of him started to vibrate, causing it to become a heap of powder.

“Let’s go.”

Looking embarrassed, Gu San Sheng ordered his followers to leave.

“My Lord, the Lu Family is too rude. A mere new family, yet dare to act this way.”

“Exactly, they have just one Thousand Year King. Based on your skills, My Lord, you can easily teach them a lesson.”

Inside the Lu Family’s garden, Gu San Sheng and the gang were heading towards the exit when his followers began to suck up to their boss.

However, Gu San Sheng did not take their words seriously. After all, Lu Bu was a Thousand Year King too. Picking up a fight with him might not bring much benefit; furthermore, he was leaving soon.

“JIII!”

A red rabbit jumped out of nowhere along the road, catching Gu San Sheng and the gang by surprise and blocking their way. With a pair of bloodshot eyes, the rabbit stared at the group with curiosity.

“Move aside! How dare a rabbit block our way!”

Someone from behind Gu San Sheng stepped forward, and gave the stupid creature a hit on the head.

“Stop!”

“Bang!”

Gu San Sheng stared at the rabbit feeling confused, unable to decipher if the rabbit was an ordinary rabbit or had a cultivation level higher than himself.

However, his instincts told him to be wary of the rabbit. Unable to stop his subordinate from shooing the rabbit away in time, a palm imprint landed with a loud boom, causing dust to rise up from the ground!
