Chapter 261: The Nine Brothers Of The Nine Luminaries

Within the inner channel of the battle artifact…

Lu Wu and Bei Li were focusing wholeheartedly on the floating broken page from Number One.

[The Emperor’s Note]: The collection of the spells for cultivating souls into the body written by the ancient emperor using the Laws of the World.

Item Details: Sanctification Part (incomplete)

Noticing the information on the paper, both Lu Wu and Bei Li were stunned.

All this while, they thought that what the Jie De Corporation had found was an ordinary ancient cultivation book. However, to their surprise, the Jie De Corporation had obtained The Emperor’s Note, a top-level cultivation method.

Hiss!

Both Lu Wu and Bei Li took a deep breath.

The existence of the Human Emperor was even stronger than the existence of the emperors of Heaven and the Underworld. He could be said to be the strongest among the three worlds.

How could his cultivation note be something ordinary?

“Such a waste! They were actually using such high-level notes for the experiment of recovering human soul energy!” mumbled Bei Li while looking at the broken page.

“Such good stuff!” Lu Wu couldn’t hold back either.

“Wu, the Jie De Corporation has possibly received the whole book of The Emperor’s Note but distributed parts in different laboratories!” said Bei Li seriously.

“Let’s snatch them all!” Lu Wu immediately expressed his thoughts.

It was a total waste for such a precious treasure to be used by the Jie De Corporation for just human experiments. Lu Wu thought that it was better for him to keep it.

“What’s your plan?”

“Don’t we have Number One? Make him even stronger and have him get them for us!”

“Due to the forced cultivation, Number One’s body was already unstable. If we still want to remodel him, his lifespan will be shortened significantly… unless we keep his soul in the artifact, he couldn’t live for more than a year. Moreover, he is different from other players who can slowly get used to the state upgrades. His soul could possibly collapse if we inject soul power directly to upgrade his status!” Bei Li warned while taking a glance at Number One who was standing by their side.

“Then we should just mark his soul in the artifact and find a physical body from the Spirit Summoning Palace for him so that we can increase his capability to the limit where his soul could be able to withstand everything for now,” Lu Wu uttered after a moment of consideration.

“Are you planning to remodel him into a secret weapon in the real world?” asked Bei Li curiously.

“Yes. After all, there’s a lot of stuff in reality which we’re not in the right place to achieve. It’s good to have him here!”

Bei Li nodded and put on a white coat while the soul power around them gathered, enabling Number One to float in the air.

Soon after that, Bei Li formed a frameless spectacle on her hand and wore it, looking as if she was a consummate professional.

“Well, you can do this by yourself! I’ll go and cook dinner…” Lu Wu gave Bei Li a supportive gaze.

Bei Li looked back solemnly, “Please cook more than usual… I have a good appetite today!”

Lu Wu was about to say something joking about how she always had a good appetite, but he kept it to himself. His figure slowly disappeared from the artifact channel.

The Land of the Nine Luminaries, Dark Heaven Pavilion of His Excellency.

There were nine ten-foot tall figures with fierce looks sitting in a circle in the main hall of Dark Heaven Pavilion. In front of every one of them were tables full of a variety of spiritual material and meats as well as fine wine.

“Big brother, there’s a big commotion in the Underworld now, which is a bad sign,” said a relatively thin man who was sitting in the opposite direction of His Excellency Xing Yao, the one seated on the throne.

“That’s none of our business. As long as it isn’t a war between the deities and the Underworld, we will not be affected!” Xing Yao replied indifferently after finishing the wine in his glass.

“The incidents of His Excellency Cangxu failing to go against Heaven and the ancestors in Beiqi killing the gods for the sake of the power source proved that there’s a possibility for those in Heaven to start a war at any time.”

“Ninth brother, don’t jinx it. If they really start a war, we will be left with nothing even if we are domineering one of the large domains… after all, it’s a fight between the gods!” Xing Yao reprimanded while staring at his brother, Huo Yao, who was still making insensitive remarks.

Upon hearing that, Huo Yao shut up at once, focusing his gaze on the food.

“Big brother, I would like to remind you of something…” the fifth brother, Jin Yao, turned around to look at Xing Yao after swallowing a piece of meat in his mouth.

[The sequence of the nine brothers in the Land of the Nine Luminaries are as follows: Star (Xing), Moon (Yue), Sun (Ri), Time (Chen), Gold (Jin), Wood (Mu), Water (Shui), Fire (Huo), and Earth (Tu).]

“It seems like the Earth Breaking Clan who separated us from Beiqi has vanished. A few days ago when I was passing by, I planned to greet the Leader of the Earth Breaking Clan but I found that the whole clan had left the Barren Grassland!”

Upon hearing this, Xing Yao’s face turned cold.

“Big brother, now that Beiqi has no master, are you interested in it?” Jin Yao asked again with great expectation.

“Of course, let me be the King of Beiqi, too,” replied Yue Yao, the second brother, as he laughed.

Xing Yao uttered no words and fell deep into his thoughts.

Actually, they had been longing to take down Beiqi by the sea for a long time. Furthermore, it was not a big problem to take it down now with their capabilities.

Besides, the previous few kings of Beiqi looked weak to them as well.

However, they had always been holding on due to the existence of the Earth Breaking Clan.

Although all nine of them were strong, only the eldest, second, and third brothers had achieved the Ghost Emperor Realm, with only the eldest brother, Xing Yao at the Greater Ghost Emperor stage. The other two were at the Fledgling Ghost Emperor stage. If they were really to fight the Earth Breaking Clan, just one clan member was already enough to be their match.

Although they might have won, in the end, the price was too high for them to pay.

The Earth Breaking Clan was the protector of the kings of Beiqi. They were able to fight all the contenders of Beiqi and were like a huge mountain that was blocking all outsiders from reaching Beiqi. Hence, they could only leave this thought aside back then.

However, now that the Earth Breaking Clan was said to have left the Barren Grassland, all nine of them were suddenly in great excitement.

Without the Earth Breaking Clan, the route to Beiqi would be so smooth that their armies could cross the boundary of Beiqi easily and take down the throne.

After that, they would be blessed by the Great Emperor and another one of them would surely be upgraded to become an elite of the Greater Ghost Emperor stage.

“Fifth brother, is this information reliable? What happens if the Earth Breaking Clan suddenly comes back?” Xing Yao asked carefully instead of making a decision right away.

“I’m not sure about that either. Since the Earth Breaking Clan’s base was not there anymore, we can assume most probably that they’ve left. But to be safe, it would be better for us to wait and see!”

“Since we have waited for years, a while more would not be an issue. So let’s just wait… right, go and check which force is the strongest in Beiqi now so that we can establish a good relationship with them. After that, we can ask for their willingness to cooperate with us!”

“Big brother, let me handle this. When we have successfully taken down Beiqi, let me be the king over there!” Yue Yao replied immediately.

“Go then. Take care. Retreat immediately if the Earth Breaking Clan comes back. Don’t let them know you are aiming for Beiqi, otherwise with their bad temper, they would never let you get away!”

“Big brother, I understand. If the Earth Breaking Clan ever comes back, I’ll leave with my men at once. I don’t want to go against those psychos. I’m leaving now then, enjoy your tea!” Yue Yao stood up and left hastily after finishing his sentence.

Knowing Beiqi was now vacant, he couldn’t wait to take down Beiqi and accept the blessing from the Great Emperor.

When the Nine Luminaries finally showed interest in Beiqi, all the players received a mission notification.
