The Black Book

Looking at the burning pit like a brazier, watching the deformed and twisted monster limbs turn into ashes, Zhu Haomiao picked up the three hideous heads and slowly walked out of the cave.

"My lord."

Outside the cave, Yan Yunsheng was guarding the entrance alone. He sent the others to a distance to guard. When he saw the boy, he hurriedly saluted respectfully.

"Ask someone to send these three heads to [Ningguogong Mansion], and by the way, tell Ningguogong to open one eye when he sleeps at night."

Taking the creepy head thrown by Zhu Haomiao, Yan Yunsheng swallowed his saliva and hesitated.

"My lord, isn't this a bit too irritating to the other party..."

"Haha, what's that? If the other heads are not useless, I will build a Jingguan for him at the gate of Ningguogong Mansion!"

With a sneer, Zhu Haomiao waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Follow the order, go."

Seeing that the boy had made up his mind, Yan Yunsheng no longer dissuaded him and nodded seriously.

"Yes."

……………………

[Ningguo Mansion]

"Grandpa, my father deliberately delayed the announcement of the edict. What on earth does he want to do?!"

The young man in a python robe paced back and forth in the room, like an anxious beast.

On the other side, the old man with white hair and beard sipped the fragrant tea, without raising his head, and calmly dissuaded.

"How many times have I told you that you must be calm in every major event, and only when you are calm can you be at peace, and only when you are at peace can you think, and only when you think can you gain..."

"No one will voluntarily give up the power in their hands, unless it is the moment of death... calm down..."

However, before the voice fell, a waiter rushed in, followed by three servants holding wooden boxes and trembling.

Seeing the familiar wooden box, the old and the young widened their eyes at the same time, and an ominous premonition surged in their hearts.

"Master! [Pingyang Earl] sent another head... and... and..."

"What?!"

"He also brought a message, telling you to keep one eye open when you sleep at night..."

"…………"

After a dead silence, the old man slammed the table and stood up, his hair and beard all standing up, his eyes wide open, his expression ferocious and twisted, his face turned pale and blue, and he felt a fishy sweetness rising to his throat.

"You brat! You are too much! I will destroy all your clans!!"

While roaring, the Duke of Ningguo spit out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, causing the whole mansion to fall into chaos.

And in the [Royal Martial Academy] not far away, Zhu Haomiao raised his head slowly, and seemed to hear a voice of impotent rage in the dark.

"Brother! Brother~"

The soft hum called back the boy's attention. Looking down, Zhao Nuo was holding Diao Chan and holding the corner of his clothes, with a face full of grievance and reluctance.

"Can I not stay in seclusion?"

"That's impossible."

Zhu Haomiao laughed and rubbed the little girl's head. Diao Chan immediately emerged from Zhao Nuo's arms and scurried onto the boy's head along his arm.

"Don't be clingy. This time, the seclusion time should be shorter than last time. I will be back in more than a month at most."

Chuckling and pinching the chubby cheeks, Zhu Haomiao waved his hand and floated away without any nostalgia.

Behind him, Zhao Nuo looked at the handsome and upright back and stamped his feet in anger.

That night, after handling all the "aftermath", Zhu Haomiao came to the hidden underground palace alone and lay comfortably on the bed.

As the gray and white silk threads spread out of thin air, dozens of [Greed Gold Coins] mixed with [Stellar Furnace Body Tempering Technique] runes were sealed deep into the soul and flesh, and began to brew a mysterious transformation.

After being promoted to LV.7, the third power of [Laziness] was reactivated, and layers of silk threads continued to cover the whole body, turning into a cocoon.

After the third pupation, Zhu Haomiao's energy level plummeted back to black iron, and his eyelids closed uncontrollably as if they were filled with lead.

Return!

In the feeling of weightlessness with his soul withdrawn and the world spinning around, Zhu Haomiao took a step forward, passed through the film of illusion and reality, and stepped on the solid and heavy floor.

His body shook slightly uncontrollably, like an astronaut returning to the ground from space, and Zhu Haomiao took several seconds to adapt to the real world again.

Not far away from him, Liu Hongbin, who had been waiting for a long time, suppressed his anxiety and waited until he had recovered his breath before speaking.

"Good boy! Last time it was only three days, this time you stayed for five days in a row. If you don't come out, I thought you were [lost] in there!"

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao laughed and shook his head.

"It's just that the Dao Heart has improved."

Hearing this, Liu Hongbin looked at him in surprise.

You know, [Dao Heart] is really equal for all beings. Whether it is a divine destiny or a mortal destiny, it can only be slowly sharpened with hard work.

And Zhu Haomiao's previous [Dao Heart] strength was already outstanding among his peers. Now that he has taken another step forward, his cultivation efficiency has been greatly improved. How can others survive?

Sighing for the geniuses of the same generation as this guy, Liu Hongbin quickly put this trivial matter aside and his face became serious.

"Xiao Zhu, I heard that you met Emperor Shitian?"

"Yeah."

"Didn't suffer any loss?"

"No."

"What is the strength of the opponent?"

"Do you think He will put pressure on our southwest direction in the future?"

…………

Taking out a small notebook, Liu Hongbin stared at Zhu Haomiao without blinking, ready to carefully record every word he said.

Facing Liu Hongbin's serious attitude, Zhu Haomiao hesitated for a moment and shook his head cautiously.

"I don't know."

"Ah?"

"He and I are both growing rapidly, and our strength will change dramatically every day until we approach the upper limit of the fantasy realm."

After saying that, Zhu Haomiao looked into Liu Hongbin's eyes and smiled meaningfully.

"All the questions will only be answered when we grow to our full form and fight again."

"…………"

After a long silence, Liu Hongbin frowned worriedly: "Then do you have the confidence to defeat Him?"

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao chuckled and pursed his lips, and the mysterious purple-gold light in the depths of his pupils flickered.

"Just have a hand."

……………………

Time flies

When the boy opened his eyes again, the surging dark-gold divine light escaped from the depths of his pupils.

As if the sealed ancient monster had awakened from its slumber, the space-time of the entire underground palace was rippling with visible ripples, and the invisible ripples continued to spread. In an instant, all creatures within a radius of dozens of miles felt the fleeting piercing cold.

Hualala~

Birds flew in panic, insects fell silent, and with the underground palace as the center, there was a dead silence within a radius of dozens of miles, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind.

Soon, the confused eyes of the young man gradually became clear, and the divine energy that was unconsciously dissipating was restrained and gathered, and he slowly sat up from the bed.

After sitting there for a few seconds, Zhu Haomiao finally adapted completely and began to examine his own changes.

[Stellar Furnace Body Tempering Technique]: LV.5→LV.6 (Perfect)

[Body]: +28 (14×200%)

[Strength]: +6
