The Lord of the Universe

Ch.76 - Hatred

When Xiang Shin's consciousness had returned to his body, he immediately walked out of his room.

Xiang Shin did not know how long it had spent inside the Sword Dimension. He did not want to be late for the grand auction.

Outside Xiang Shin saw two people standing guard. The two guards immediately cupped their hands when they saw Xiang Shin.

“Is the auction show already started?”

The two guards looked at each other and answered.

“The auction will start in 12 days again sir.”

“Eh?” Xiang Shin was silent.

12 More days? Does that mean he only spent 1 day inside the Sword Dimension? He felt like he had spent days there.

“Could the time in the Sword Dimension be different from in the real world? One day in the real world equals many days in the Sword Dimension.” Xiang Shin muttered inwardly.

“Master?” the guards were puzzled to see Xiang Shin daydreaming.

“Ah thanks for the info,” Xiang Shin back in then sit cross-legged in the middle of the room.

“If I know like this then I will fight more swords to improve my abilities!” Xiang Shin was quite upset that neither Yi Bei nor Feng Lao had told him about this.

“I feel I can already break through to the next level, but for now I can't possibly break through in the Alchemy Holy City. I have to wait until the curfew is over,” muttered Xiang Shin.

There could be problems if people sensed that there were cultivators breaking through to Martial Overlord level. Martial Overlord level cultivators were extremely rare in Chenwu Continent, so anyone who broke through people would definitely want to know about it.

Xiang Shin's forehead let out a faint light, a moment later 10 swords came out hovering around his body. All of those swords were swords that he had obtained in the Sword Dimension.

“It turns out all these swords are even stronger than my best sword,” Xiang Shin can now feel the true power of those swords, “especially the sword I got from Yi Bei.”

Xiang Shin holds Yi Bei's sword, “I want to try the power of all these swords, but for now I can't do it in this place.”

Xiang Shin put all the swords into his body.

Xiang Shin meditated, closed his eyes, trying to deepen the mystery of sword intent, hoping that he could enter again into the Sword Dimension to continue the training.

But after hours of no satisfactory results, even Xiang Shin felt disappointed at not being able to deepen the sword intent from the sword mark on his forehead.

“What happened,” Xiang Shin frowned along with the sword mark on his forehead that disappeared, “is it possible because my sword intent has now reached the limit at my current cultivation level, if not, so I have to break through first to the Martial Overlord level to improve my understanding of sword intent,” Xiang Shin sighed, “ini sucks. If I can't practice then what should I do to pass the time?”

If Xiang Shin were to cultivate then he would definitely break through, so cultivating was not the right choice.

“I better sleep alone,” Xiang Shin lays his body on the mattress.

***

Inside the room of the most luxurious inn in the Alchemy Holy City.

Kai Shang hired several tier 8 Alchemists and one tier 9 Alchemist of the God Pill Sect to heal Gong Shi Liang.

Gong Shi Liang had already been given some pills and special treatment from the Alchemists.

Already one week had passed, Gong Shi Liang's condition had improved but the young master of the God Formation Sect had still not shown any signs of being sober.

Kai Shang could only see how the Alchemists were trying to heal Gong Shi Liang from the corner of the room with a tense expression. He hoped that his young master could come to his senses and follow the auction or that Gong Shi Liang would scold him later.

The worst possibility was that Gong Shi Liang would report this to his father and make his father kill himself.

“That boy..just watch out! I will kill him if my young master is unconscious before the auction starts!” Kai Shang could only curse inwardly.

***

After 10 days of non-stop treatment, Gong Shi Liang's condition finally improved even though his soul still had not fully healed.

“Chairman Kai, young master Gong Shi Liang will realize in the next few hours,” Alchemist level 9 approaches Kai Shang and then takes out a small box, which is, “in this box there are 5 level 7 pills that are specifically for recovering wounded souls. Give your young master 1 pill a day then he will fully recover.”

“Alright,” Kai Shang took out a dimensional ring, “inside this dimensional ring there are 400 million low grade Qi Crystals, it should be enough right?”

“Of course, nice to do business with you, Elder Kai,” The tier 9 alchemist picked it up then came out without giving the slightest greeting or showing any respect.

Indeed this was how it would be if the formation experts and Alchemists met. Both have arrogance and arrogance so they abstain from bowing their heads or showing their respect.

When all the Alchemists had come out, Kai Shang immediately cursed slowly but with a suppressed tone.

“Not yet the auction started and we've already spent a lot of money! If it wasn't for the boy..!” the more Kai Shang thought about Xiang Shin, the greater the hatred.

The cost of hundreds of millions was only to cure Gong Shi Liang alone, while the other 4 were still in a bad condition in the other rooms even though it was not to life threatening.

The other four youths were also geniuses of the God Formation Sect so they still should not die. They have received treatment but only a little, the important thing is they are not to death or permanent disability.

If they were all cured then it would cost 1 billion low-grade Qi crystals.

A few hours later, Gong Shi Liang opened his eyes slowly. He stared at the ceiling for a moment before suddenly getting up from remembering the previous incident.

“You have finally realized young master,” Kai Shang approached Gong Shi Liang.

“Chairman Kai, what happened? Where is the young man?!”

Kai Shang told her what happened to Gong Shi Liang.

“Damn it! I, the young master of the esteemed God Formation Sect must obtain humiliation and be humbled like this!” gong Shi Liang's face flushed with anger, “Old Kai, I want the boy dead!”

“Of course young master. But we can't do it as long as it's still inside the Alchemy Holy City. We have to wait until the auction show is over and the boy is out of town!”
