The Supreme Lord Donghuang

Chapter 210 - Leaving the Powerful Supreme Sect of Ziyun

Chapter 210: Leaving the Powerful Supreme Sect of Ziyun

During the period of construction of the Donghuang Peak, not only did Zhou Donghuang continue to train hard, he even managed to create some ultimate spirit weapons and superior spirit weapons for those closest to him.

At the same time, he also created a giant batch of core drugs.

Of course, he prescribed a few core drugs specifically for his mother, Lin Lan.

His mother, Lin Lan, was generally a more meticulous person. Furthermore, she trained under the Technique of Everlasting Youth. After she entered the Primal Core stage, she was able to consolidate her Samadhi fire, which was extremely useful for core-forging.

Furthermore, from the way Lin Lan favored certain prescriptions by Zhong Ya, it could be assumed that she was extremely interested in pharmacy as well as alchemy.

Holistically, it was easy to see that Zhou Donghuang’s mother, Lin Lan, had the potential to become an outstanding core-forging master.

“Donghuang, with the standard that you are at now, if you stay in the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun, I would be assured of your safety and status... However, if you leave us, there are many dangers and obstacles that lie ahead for you outside.”

Lin Lan had on a stern expression as she spoke to Zhou Donghuang. “I only have one request for you. Please be careful no matter what!”

“Mother, do not worry.” Zhou Donghuang smiled confidently. In the previous world, he had roamed the entire universe and several planets solo for thousands of years before he could be at the peak of it all. With such an experience previously, the infinite universe was nothing terrifying to him as every area was familiar and traversed before.

“Brother, please come back soon... if not, I will miss you very, very much.”

Yun Lu had on a face of sadness as she gazed at Zhou Donghuang. After many years of interaction, she had already accepted this teenager before her as her own brother.

“Alright, I’ll do as you command.” Zhou Donghuang smiled lovingly back at her, indulging her.

Since he had already made all the necessary preparations beforehand, Zhou Donghuang was able to spend his entire day with his mother and sister, telling them all sorts of stories and advising Lin Lan on how to protect the sect.

At the same time, Zhou Donghuang had also prepared some core-forging hearts for his mother, which would allow Lin Lan to face fewer obstacles and issues when core-forging after she had entered the Primal Core stage.

“Donghuang, tomorrow, spend some time with Zixi and Jiapei... It’ll be convenient since they live together. When you intend to leave, let me know.”

At night, before Zhou Donghuang returned to his living quarters, Lin Lan had said these words to him.

Zhou Donghuang had frozen slightly before nodding casually.

“Alright, sure.”

Yun Lu added, “Brother, Sister Zixi and Sister Jiapei are all fond of you... If you leave before spending some time with them, they will be extremely sad.”

“Fancy you speaking like a grownup!” Zhou Donghuang said heartily as he glanced at Yun Lu before leaving.

Once he had returned to his room, Zhou Donghuang sat on his bed and took an internal look at his essence point.

Now, within his essence point, 4 Primal Cores were floating within. Two of these Primal Cores were silver and were surrounded by silver inner Yuan. As for the other two Primal Cores, they were gold and surrounded by gold inner Yuan.

For the two Golden Essences, they were rotating endlessly. Even if Zhou Donghuang did not take special care to train them, they would adjust their Qi according to the Lord of the Four Supremes’ route and absorb external spirit energy to train itself.

Of course, this was not as effective as when Zhou Donghuang underwent training himself. Nevertheless, this was the specialty of adepts who were at the Primal Core stage and above. Even if there was no deliberate training, the golden Primal Cores within the essence point would still train by itself.

However, as this was self-training, the two Golden Essences would only grow by themselves and would not help the remaining two Silver Essences to train. That responsibility still lay with Zhou Donghuang himself.

“It is most imperative for me to train the two Silver Essences till they become Golden Essences right now,” Zhou Donghuang mused to himself.

Now, there was about a year left before the Xuanyan City Inn were to organize the Feast of Ziyun. Previously, Zhong Donghuang’s essence point had three Silver Essences and one Shi Essence. Within a years’ time, with the help of some rare herbs preserved by the Xuanyin Sect, Zhou Donghuang had greatly improved himself by leaps and bounds. Not only had the Shi Essence been successfully converted to Silver Essence, but two out of three of the Silver Essences had also been converted to Golden Essences.

“With my powers now, even if that fellow I met, Zhong Ya of the Xuanyin Sect, managed to train himself to the Dharma level, I can still use my ultimate spirit weapon to destroy them!” The level of strength and power of Zhou Donghuang now was completely different from that of a year ago.

“Tomorrow, I’ll have to face Zixi again... Jiapei, too.” Thinking of Lin Lan’s instructions, Zhou Donghuang could not help but feel weary. At the same time, he could not help but recall an event of the past with a girl called Luo Qinghan.

“Previously, I thought I had truly fallen for her. However, as time passed, till now... That fluttery feeling that I had towards her has now dulled significantly. If I think hard about it... I don’t understand her and she does not understand me. Why should I be so invested in her?

“However, duties still have to be obliged. No matter what she feels, she is still my woman. This is a fact that cannot be changed. As a woman who has been my partner, no other men will be allowed to touch her!”

Once he uttered those words allow, Zhou Donghuang’s eyes glinted coldly for a short period of time before they dulled again.

“Although it is true that I do not have many substantial feelings for her, well... They can be developed over time.”

...

The next day, Zhou Donghuang followed his mother’s instructions and visited Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei’s home. Perhaps due to them knowing that Zhou Donghuang was about to leave, Zixi and Jiapei both studiously avoided any sensitive topics when speaking.

“Brother Zhou, do not worry. When you leave the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun, I will take good care of Aunty Lin Lan and Yun Lu on your behalf,” Yang Zixi said heartily.

“Thank you,” Zhou Donghuang replied, smiling.

“Brother Zhou, we’ll be waiting for you to return.” Ren Jiapei’s gaze was rather clouded, and she had a slightly saddened expression on her face.

Around evening time, Zhou Donghuang bid farewell to Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei before heading to visit Fu, Freezing Wind, Zhou Han and Zhou Feng. Zhou Donghuang only left their company in the early morning after instructing them of certain matters, following up on their training and sharing some advice and tips.

“I’m leaving tomorrow.”

Before leaving, Zhou Donghuang had left the group with a few words of advice. “Train hard... I hope that when I return, you will all have already entered the Dharma stage.”

After hearing these words, Fu and the rest had the understanding that their master, Zhou Donghuang, was to leave for an extremely long period of time. Of course, the expectations that Zhou Donghuang had for Fu and the others were not considered too unreasonable. Within ten years, he would definitely return. With the giant energy-gathering position that he had installed upon the Donghuang Peak, Fu and the others would have their training speeds accelerated. As long as they were hardworking and did not slack off, within ten years, they definitely would be able to cross to the Dharma stage!

...

The next day, as Zhou Donghuang prepared to leave, almost everyone in the Donghuang Peak came forward to send him off:

Lin Lan, Yun Lu.

Yang Zixi, Ren Jiapei.

Fu, Freezing Wind, Zhou Han and Zhou Feng.

Qin Xiaoyu, Qin Zhen.

There were even the golden-crowned eagles, Big Gold and Little Gold.

“Brother Donghuang, I’ll be awaiting your return!” Qin Xiaoyu called out to Zhou Donghuang longingly, her eyes red with impending tears.

Now, Qin Xiaoyu was no longer the little girl of the past. She was now a grown woman, and the childish looks of her youth were transformed.

This was unlike Yun Lu, who somehow managed to still look like a little girl of eight, nine years old.

“Within ten years, I’ll have to return.” In the sky, Zhou Donghuang waved and nodded at the crowd. With a shake of his body, the area surrounding him looked like it was lit up with golden flames.

In the next moment, these golden flames became a shot of golden lightning, shooting up in the sky and disappearing into the clouds.

“Wow...”

Yun Lu, who was maturely holding back her tears, could not help it and ran into Lin Lan’s embrace as she burst into tears.

As for the adults, be it Lin Lan, Yang Zixi or Ren Jiapei, tears were similarly streaming down their faces.

Clearly, to allow Zhou Donghuang to leave unburdened, they had been holding back their tears as well.

“Yun Lu, let’s not cry anymore,” Qin Zhen consoled her daughter. “Remember what Brother Donghuang said? Within ten years, he will be back.”

Ten years.

If one did not enter the Primal Core stage, their lives would only be extended to around that number of years.

...

This leave by Zhou Donghuang was done by him alone. He had not brought anyone with him, not even the golden-crowned eagles Big Gold or Little Gold, and instead left them behind to protect the Donghuang Sect.

“The Donghuang Sect is now only left with a few people and is grossly misrepresented. However, when I return, I assume that they would already have developed greatly.”

This time, before leaving, Zhou Donghuang had not just placed several energy-gathering positions around the living quarters of Lin Lan, but he had also placed several energy-gathering positions in other areas of Donghuang Peak. Of course, these energy-gathering positions varied in terms of power.

However, even the best of the energy-gathering positions at other parts of the area were quite weak as compared to those that he had placed in Lin Lan’s living quarters. Those were simply prepared for the Donghuang disciples that came forward to visit and pray to the Donghuang Peak.

“If I remember correctly, in the entire powerful supreme sect of Ziyun’s many planets, none have energy-gathering positions. Let’s find the nearest energy-gathering position now, first.”

Zhou Donghuang raised his hands, clutching a light blue ball the size of a baby in one of them. This was an “energy-searching bead” that he had invented.

It was used to find the closest energy-gathering position around him and the magic within it would sense others nearby as well.

It had been rather easy to make. As long as one understood the materials needed, even manufacturers of the early Primal Core stage would be able to make such a bead as well.

As for the materials, it was rather flexible, and anything could be used as long as it could withstand the spells it had to hold.

Of course, in the entire powerful supreme sect of Ziyun, other than Zhou Donghuang, 80 to 90 percent of the people did not really know how to make an energy-searching bead. This was because there was no single true alchemist in the entire powerful supreme sect of Ziyun.

In Zhou Donghuang’s eyes, a true alchemist would be able to curate an inferior spirit weapon at the very least. If one only knew how to forge sword spheres and space rings, they could not be considered a true alchemist.

Whoosh!

Zhou Donghuang focused his inner Yuan on the energy-searching bead. The energy-searching bead flew forward towards a certain sensed direction, and Zhou Donghuang followed on its tail.

“Now that I’ve teleported... Where should I go next?”

Zhou Donghuang racked his brains as he followed the energy-searching bead, trying to recall his memories from his previous life.

“It is now the year 1234 in the Ziyun Era. At this time in my past life, I was still on Earth!”
