The Great Ruler Cultivator

Looking for Lodging

When undergoing the last lightning that shot so fast, the lightning managed to penetrate Shen Li to hit the ground below. But he was fine and felt that his body was being forged.

And again, the final lightning did not instantly disappear but seemed to be restrained as it pierced through Shen Li's body and it slowly appeared that the lightning began to be sucked slowly into Shen Li's body.

[Ding~ master successfully absorbed the lightning element]

"Ehh?! Really?!" Shen Li asked in a cheerful tone and saw her face beaming with joy.

Shen Li had passed through the black lightning tribulation, which others knew that he underwent lightning ashura. Because this is caused by the magnitude of the explosive power and energy density is exactly the same as the lightning ashura, but actually that lightning is still black lightning.

Because it was because Shen Li had such a special body and energy that the laws of the heavens had known about it. And also if using black lightning as usual, it will not have an impact on Shen Li's body and if he will undergo lightning ashura, what happens later is not the misery that occurs, he said, but the destruction of land within a wide radius and only damage it. Although it still will not have an impact on Shen Li.

After undergoing such a great lightning tribulation Shen Li was still silent in place and only his outer robe was torn apart and burned from the impact of the last lightning bolt. The black clouds that were in the sky slowly began to disappear displaying back the bright sky decorated by the night star.

Shen Li slowly began to descend into the middle of the crater, while looking at the impact resulting from his lightning tribulation.

"I thought the impact only happened to me, but it turned out that my estimation was wrong. May it not attract the attention of the people in the empire". Shen Li's murmur. "Maybe I have to get to the range first" he said.

Shen Li then dashed out of the Ming Forest. He was lazy to fly because he felt that later there would be no challenge on its own. Because by flying he can shorten the distance from the Ming Forest to the empire which is 35 miles in just a few seconds.

As he ran Shen Li changed his clothes to black with a golden dragon pattern running from the front left chest through his left shoulder to the right waist. Not to forget he also made a white robe that had ancient symbols along his arms. For a while he did not want to reveal his identity.

Shortly thereafter,

Shen Li had gotten up to 500 meters away from the imperial gate, he lowered his running speed and started walking slowly closer to the gate.

"Stop!" Said one of the gate guards.

"Sorry sir, what is the matter of the lord of nights like this to the empire?" Ask the soldier politely.

"Sorry sir, I want to go find an inn for me to rest tonight" Shen Li replied softly.

"I apologize so much to the previous master why did you look for lodging at night and not during the day? Then can you show the identity of the master?!" The soldier replied with courtesy. But this was not shown by one of the soldier's friends who were also in charge of guarding the gate with him. It seemed that the soldier gave Shen Li a sinister look because he could not feel the energy from his body.

"I am a wandering master, but I have no sign of identity but you can call me Jin. Then I actually wanted to rest in the Ming Forest, but seeing such a strange phenomenon in the sky, it frightened me and decided to go find an inn" Shen Li replied in search of an excuse, for it is impossible to say that he was the cause of the lightning tribulation.

"So like that, does master Jin not know of the phenomenon?" Asked the soldier back patiently, however he was tasked with ensuring security within the imperial city by inspecting any comers who would enter the city.

"Is master Jin not a cultivator? He should have known it was a lightning tribulation, and also I could not feel any energy from his body" the inner soldier.

"It was the lightning tribulation master, to which there was a great cultivator managed to attract the lightning tribulation ashura. And hopefully he is a white flow cultivator" said the soldier.

"Alright, sorry to interrupt Mr. Jin's trip, you can enter the city and then for lodging, you can go to the Vermillion Inn because only the inn is open 24 hours, but the price paid is also high sir" he continued.

"Thank you sir for the information, after all, you also have the master to watch over the newcomers and keep the city safe" Shen Li replied smiling warmly from behind his hood and staring at the soldier.

The soldier was stunned for a moment, because he saw the look of eyes that were so warm and seemed to dominate even if only faintly seen. The pure white eyeballs were combined with a bright blue color and a faint golden color was seen in his eyes as well.

"Good sir, please! Have a nice trip!" Reply to the soldier after waking up from his daydream.

"Thank you very much sir" Shen Li replied as he walked into the city, but only two steps walked, which he found was the spearhead of the soldier who was staring cynically at him earlier.

"Hey! Wait up! You must pay 20 taels of gold to enter the city!!" Jerk the soldier with a cynical tone and look demeaning and greedy.

Not wanting to bother, Shen Li then asked the system for some gold taels.

[Ding~manufactured 1 billion taels of gold]

The deg!!

Shen Li was still trying to be mediocre, after listening to his system notification. Immediately he gave the soldier 20 taels of gold. Then rushed to look for the Vermillion Inn that the soldier had told him about.

In the city.

"Hey system why did you give me so much money, I only asked for a few but you surprised me instead!" Shen Li's protest on his system that justly gave him a large sum of money.

[Sorry sir, because in the system store 1 billion taels of gold is the lowest item there is]

"Hahh well then how else" he replied lazily.

Arriving in front of an inn that had the Vermillion bird symbol above its entrance, Shen Li then entered it to reserve a room for him to rest.
