288 THE COALITION FORMED-(2)

“The barrier is getting thinner with every breakthrough but I fear with this pace, I will never be able to get there. The number of laws that I need to connect to get enough power is just too high.” Li Meng said.

“So we are going to try and connect with 4 laws at once.” The Keeper asked.

“That is just the start. The number of laws present in the Heavenly layer is just too many. I feel like, the more I connect to, the easier it becomes to connect with more. Especially, hybrid laws.”

The Keeper pondered over the point for some time. He turned to Long Tao and said:

“My guidance isn’t going to help your case. You could only rely on yourself to reach the Chaos law realm. But I promise you, once you do, there will be no one in this world who could measure up to you.”

Long Tao nodded and left to plan for his next breakthrough. Unknown to him, two figures appeared beside the Keeper as soon as he left. They were none other than the Pill-Hall master and the training hall guardian.

“Why didn’t you tell him the truth. He could easily achieve the realm, once he knows what it signifies.” The Pill-Hall master spoke in a questioning tone. He had already begun to groom Long tao as his successor and couldn’t help but feel pity for him.

“That man asked me to not interfere in Long Tao’s path during critical moments in cultivation such as these. He wanted him to find his path by himself.”

“That bastard managed to reach the Chaos law level because of the hordes of records and guidance provided by his ancestors, masters and old records. How could he be so smug as to leave Long Tao to his means?”

.....

“You two are not aware of this fact, but later in his path of cultivation, he found out that his path of cultivation was flawed. Although the guidance provided by all those sources, and his incredible talent help propel his power quite fast, he found that the flaws created were too critical and deep.”

“His foundation and understanding of martial path were too shallow when he tries to pursue the ultimate power. That is the exact reason he is spending his time trying to make up for his flaws. He could have easily reached even greater heights and gain so much power to overwhelm the whole world, but he didn’t.”

The two figures remained silent on hearing the Keeper’s words.

“Do you know what his words were the last time we talked?” The two figures were alerted by the Keeper’s words.

“He said that he had rushed so much to gain power, that he forgot the most basic things which build up his cultivation. He decided to hide and prepare for his future while eliminating his flaws and growing his power. He asked me not to interfere with Long Tao and pressurise him to create his path. Only then could he surpass the whole world and dominate it.”

The two masters nodded their heads. ” I guess we could only pressurise him to become more and more thorough in his cultivation.” The Pill Hall master said.

“I have to agree with your point. If this boy succeeds in this path, I guarantee that we are going to see something the world has never seen before.” The training Hall master said.

“That is true. The avatar art has enabled him to do something never possible. If he achieves Chaos realm with the plan he has in his mind, we will get to see the birth of the most powerful cultivator of all time.”

Three days later-

Lu Ming made his way to Ti Shen’s cave. Once there he knelt and prayed to his master:

“Disciple Lu Ming is here to visit the master. I want to start my breakthrough today.”

“Are you sure about your preparation for the Qi King layer?” To Shen’s figure emerged out of the hut.

“I am confident in my ability to connect with more than 2 Heavenly laws.” Lu Ming spoke without any hesitation.

“I have to commend brother’s ability to accept his disciple. To have such a confident and talented progeny is quite a fortune.” The valley master of Pill valley emerged out of nowhere.

“I greet martial uncle.” Lu Ming said in a calm tone. ” I thank you for the gracious words.” He spoke with a tinge of sarcasm in it. Lu Ming didn’t have a good memory of the Valley master since the time he tried to force him by manipulating the situation against him.

“I guess nephew still hasn’t pardoned us.” The Teng clan patriarch arrived on the scene.

“I don’t have any complaint against anyone. Our world runs on strength. The day I get strong enough, who would dare to question me even if I massacre the whole world.” Lu Ming’s words were devoid of any emotions. The faces of both the leaders darkened upon hearing this. This guy was not going to let go of his animosity towards them.

“I see that you four are jolly as always.” An old voice sounded beside the sky. An old man soon descended on the mountain.

“We greet martial-uncle.”

“Disciple greets martial great-uncle.” Lu Ming bowed with respect. A Monarch level QI practitioner was no joke. All Lu Ming wanted to know was the level of cultivation the old man had reached.

“You seem confident in your capability. What are your plans for this break-through.” The old man asked.

“Nephew Ming is confident to connect with three Heavenly laws.” The sect master interrupted before Lu Ming got a chance to speak.

The old man’s expression changed on hearing this. Three Heavenly laws. It had been hundreds of year since someone managed to do that in Pill Valley. It would be the oncoming of a new era if someone within the inheritors was capable enough to connect with 3 Heavenly laws.

“You are wrong valley master. I didn’t mean to say that.” The four figures looked at Lu Ming. ” I am saying that I am confident enough to connect with three heavenly laws at the very least.” The atmosphere suddenly turned cold. Everyone was silent upon hearing such a blatant claim by Lu Ming.

“If you managed to connect with 4 Heavenly laws, I will directly declare you as the future sect master of Pill valley, and instantly concentrate every single resource available to the sect to groom you.” The old man spoke up. He then turned to the other three. ” The second requirement will also be invalidated and he will directly be allotted with a spot for the Royal road.”

Lu Ming bowed to the old man before proceeding with Ti Shen to the altar which was specially prepared for him. The resources requested by Lu Ming included Elemental resources of all five elements along with a lot of resources that were used for refining blood essence.

“I am hopeful for your success brat.” Ti Shen gave Lu Ming his blessing before proceeding to activate the altar formation.

Mad-lion’s hall-

The procession to establish the coalition was complete. Every force which would join the coalition was invited to the huge ceremony which was personally preceded by the two Qi Emperor level practitioners of the Mad-lion group.

“I thank all of you for agreeing with the proposal and attending the ceremony. From today onwards the bandit’s groups present here will be bind with the coalition pact to fight with every single enemy who stands in our way of conquering the eastern region.”

The ceremony reached its peak soon, and all the leaders signed the pact. Huge rounds of ceremonial drinks were presented to the leaders and everyone presented their congratulations to the two Qi Emperors.

“From today onwards, we declare the formation of the Great-Lion coalition.”

“We congratulate the Mad-lion leaders.”

“I present my blessing to the groups.” Every single bandit leader came forward to congratulate the group.

The next round of discussion soon began as the parliamentary system was established, and all the Bandit leaders were assigned important positions within the administration. It was the first time the eastern borders had seen the formation of such a large group.

Li Meng was present throughout the ceremony, and the leader of their group was assigned as one of the vice-leaders of the Coalition. The message from the vice-leader had confirmed the power f their group and hence the Mad-lions had started to treat them seriously.

“I would like to talk with a vice-leader lion.” Li Meng sent a message to Lion Ti.

Lion Ti responded with a nod and followed him to a corner of the hall.

“Are you about to present me with terms of exchange? I would like to point that it would be unnecessary. You could just kill him. Although I do have to suggest that the repercussion would be quite massive.”

“You should hear my side before making a proclamation vice-leader.” LI Meng said with a smug smile on his face.
