Chapter 950: Upgrade of Longevity Lamp (2)

Editor: Henyee Translations

“I know.”

…

The Fire Lord had finally waited for his master to return.

“It’s a pity that we failed this time and couldn’t kill the eight-star Life Luminarist,” his master said regretfully, “In the years I’ve been away, has anything happened in the Yun Nation and the Yan Nation?”

The Fire Lord hurriedly said, “Nothing major has happened. The princes of the Yan Kingdom have been fighting endlessly over the past few years and don’t have the strength to attack the Yun Nation at all. The Yun Nation has taken the opportunity to develop and its strength is growing day by day. Recently, the Yan Kingdom’s Shangjing has made the decision to attack the Yun Nation’s Lingzhou. They plan to take the opportunity to plunder and fill the treasury.”

His master sneered, “This is all the Yan Kingdom can do. It’s no longer the overlord country it used to be. It seems that we can’t expect a real war between the two countries.”

The Fire Lord said hesitantly, “By the way, Master, there’s a joyous occasion.”

“What’s the good news?”

“Over the years, I discovered that the newly appointed director of Lingzhou’s government office has the talent for the Longevity Lamp!”

When his master heard this, he said, “Really?”

“How dare I lie?!”

“Ha, ha, ha, good, very good. You’ve done a great service in this matter. The longevity lamp talent is rare. I didn’t expect to find another one. By the way, how strong is he?”

“Seven-star medium-grade.” Seeing the excitement on his master’s face, the Fire Lord could not help but ask, “Master, didn’t you already obtain the talent of a longevity lamp?”

His master glanced at the Fire Lord. “On account of your contribution, I’ll tell you. The Longevity Lamp is the greatest opportunity in this world. Not only can you become a nine-star Luminarist, but you also have a chance of transcending nine stars. However, you need some special conditions. Although I don’t need the Longevity Lamp anymore, the more talents I have, the better. Once I’ve studied it thoroughly, I’ll send this person to you to plunder.”

How could he not understand what his subordinate was thinking? He just wanted to plunder the Longevity Lamp and become a nine-star Luminarist. He doesn’t mind painting a big picture for him.

“Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master!” the Fire Lord excitedly said, “That’s right, Master. If that director of the government office stays in the state capital, I’m afraid it will be very difficult for you to trap him. Once he attacks, it will also alarm the Yun Nation.”

His master nodded. “We have to consider this matter at length. Although a seven-star medium-grade luminarist is not weak, as long as he leaves the state capital that has the Life Lamp Formation, there’s nothing to worry about. By the way, isn’t the Yan Kingdom going to attack Lingzhou City? We can take advantage of the situation. Send your subordinates quickly to help the Yan Kingdom.”

“Understood.”

…

Shen Ping did not know that he had been targeted by the eight-star Life Luminarist. Even if he knew, he would not take it to heart now. After breaking through to seven-star and combining his various talents, as long as it was not an eight-star high-grade, he was not afraid.

After all, just the enhancement talent alone could instantly allow him to have the strength of an eight-star Luminarist.

After meeting the imperial envoy who issued the decree, the two of them went to the backyard to discuss.

“Director Shen, the Monarch has secretly sent two eight-star Luminarists over to guard Lingzhou City. If the Yan Kingdom dares to invade, they will definitely regret it.”

“With two eight-star seniors holding down the fort, there’s no need to worry about Lingzhou.”

The Imperial Envoy smiled and said, “The Monarch is very satisfied with Director Shen’s ability. I hope that you will pay more attention to the grain, logistics, and troops in the next few days. Lingzhou is the northern barrier of our Yun Nation. As long as it is safe, Yun Nation will be safe. If you have any difficulties, Director Shen, you can tell me. I’ll report it to the king.”

After the conversation, the imperial envoy left. Shen Ping pondered. He naturally did not like war. However, the fate of countless people would change because of the war between the two countries. He could also take this opportunity to observe carefully. Although it was a little utilitarian, such an opportunity was rare.

Moreover, the more casualties there were in the war, the more vengeful spirits would gather. When combined with the baleful aura formed by the soldiers, producing Life Qi would be of great help to the luminarists of seven-star and above. The two eight-star Luminarists in the capital must have come for this.

Unfortunately, they didn’t know that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. The master of the Fire Lord was also waiting for war. Looking up at the sky, the rolling clouds gave off an oppressive feeling as though a storm was brewing.

Another half a month passed.

On this day, Shen Ping, who had just ended a huge battle, looked at the charming and red Luo Lin and hugged her lovingly. The reason why his Pupil of Flame Beast could improve so quickly was all because of the beauty in his arms serving him painstakingly.

Now, he had even reached the level of metamorphosis. The prediction insight of the Pupil of Flame Beast increased from one year to five years. In five years, one could basically deduce a person’s fate. As long as he made good use of it, he could interfere and change his fate.

“From searching, discovering the various laws of fate, to participating and using… Although I still haven’t truly grasped a trace of the power of fate, if this continues, I will definitely be able to comprehend the true power of fate!”

Shen Ping was extremely confident. In fact, through these years of interference, he gradually realized that the river of fate was indeed incomparably complicated. What he had understood before was only superficial. Be it the foundation of the river, the line of the river, fate, reincarnation, and his own momentum, they could only be seen and touched. In the vast river of fate, there were all kinds of deeper connections.

They hide beneath the River of Fate. It’s only when it changes that it comes to the surface.

“Interference, use, push, change… If these are the four ways to understand the power of destiny, then I’m still in the beginner stage!”

The next day, he came to the city wall to patrol. A soldier in charge was instructing the soldiers to reinforce the city wall, including the Luminarists.

Shen Ping immediately used the Pupil of Flame Beast. The trajectory of the fates of these Luminarists over the past five years displayed vividly in his mind.

Two months later, they were about to experience a war with the Yan Kingdom. Some of them would die, while others would be tempered and become more mature.

Through the inspection of the Pupil of Flame Beast, he had almost completely restored the war that would happen in the future. Some of the loopholes in the city defense had also been made up in time. There were also those hidden spies who pulled them out one after another.

But within a certain range, fate is not fixed.

After Shen Ping solved the problem, a new problem would arise, which was a new fate path.

After a month of preparation, all the questions that can be considered are ready. Moreover, he knew that the master of the Fire Lord would appear in this war.

It just so happened that he had many questions so he could obtain it from him.

As the news of the Yan Kingdom mobilizing troops to the south spread, the dark clouds of war gradually enveloped them. This time, it was different from the previous attack by the Marquis of Yan Kingdom. Instead, it was the mobilization of the war machines of the entire Yan Kingdom. Just the number of troops invested exceeded 300,000. These were still elite troops, not counting those auxiliary troops.

Therefore, the Yun Nation constantly mobilized troops to reinforce Lingzhou. The trade route between the two countries had long been restricted, and there were many checkpoints along the way.

In the hall of the government office, Shen Ping discussed with the three great clans, the General of the Northern Garrison and the other high-ranking members of Linghzou.

According to the information, it would take the Yan Kingdom’s army a month and a half to reach Lingzhou City. This was only the frontline army. As for a large-scale siege, it would take at least two months.

“The Yan Kingdom will definitely attack in advance. Everyone, don’t be careless. The Yan Kingdom is aggressive and well-prepared this time. Their goal is not just to take advantage of the situation!” Shen Ping said in a deep voice.

The general’s eyes narrowed. “I don’t know where the director got the information, but the Yan Kingdom’s strength has declined in recent years. Although they have gathered elite soldiers this time, it’s still very difficult to take over my Lingzhou.”

There were 100,000 soldiers in the entire Lingzhou, and this is the regular army. About 100,000 people were transferred from other states one after another, but they needed more than a month to arrive. However, just 100,000 was enough for defense.

“As long as we can hold on for more than half a year, hmph, the Yan Kingdom will definitely be the first to collapse after mobilizing so many soldiers and armor!”
