Martial Saint!.

Chapter 358: There will be no candlelight after this (4k)

After leaving the Dragon City headquarters, the three true disciples headed north and arrived at the Imperial Capital Base City.

Under the guidance of Yun Quezi, the three of them came to the martial arts department, the office of Zhenbei Tianwang.

Lu Chenzhou's heart moved. The appointment of the Lighting Master actually required the personal involvement of the current world's helmsman. This was truly extraordinary.

The senior brothers and sisters were waiting outside, and Lu Chenzhou went in first. The Heavenly King Zhenbei was meditating and breathing.

Rumor has it that this person has opened up 90 orifices in his brain and is now at the end of his rope.

There is no need to open up your mind at this stage. There is only one thing you need to do, which is to open up all 720 acupoints in your body in order to reach a higher level!

After a moment, Zhenbei Tianwang opened his eyes and stood up, like a long sword cutting through the darkness, with an overbearing and unstoppable momentum.

"Lu Chenzhou, is there anything unusual about your way of thinking about the world?"

Lu Chenzhou was shocked. He had only discussed his Tao with his senior brothers and sisters.

I guess even the master in the Candle World doesn’t know either.

How did this martial arts king, whom I had never met before, know this?
Wait, he remembered the black-clad king that day.

Lu Chenzhou asked, "That day in Yunmengze, was it the senior who was testing the junior?"

Zhenbei Tianwang nodded slightly: "Yes, it can be regarded as providing some insignificant help for your enlightenment."

Lu Chenzhou immediately said with a serious expression of gratitude: "Thank you for the wake-up call, Senior!"

That question, which went straight to the heart, really benefited him a lot and finally made him firm in his determination for the way of the world!

Zhenbei Tianwang said: "I am just testing you. You have already known your Tao for a long time, but you just don't dare to face it."

Lu Chenzhou nodded and said, "Senior, how do you know that there is something wrong with my world?"

A warrior's inner world is fake and non-existent; it is essentially his physical body.

The world tree that appears in it is the manifestation of his Tao.

Even if one is a top-level strong man, at most he could sense a hint of the Dao when he exploded with momentum, but should not be able to see the details clearly.

Zhenbei Tianwang smiled and said, "I guessed... because anyone who follows the path of the world will have problems."

Lu Chenzhou: “…”

No wonder the senior brothers and sisters were hesitant, they were afraid that their spiritual faith would be damaged, right?

The problem is, the master never reminded him, could he have forgotten?

Could it be that the way of the world really doesn't work?
Suddenly, a shout was heard: "Don't think too much. Having a problem doesn't mean you can't leave! Once you've made your choice, you must be firm!"

Lu Chenzhou immediately came to his senses and woke up with a start.

"Your realm is too low. Although your martial arts will is far superior to those at the same realm, it is still not enough to completely control the way of the world. It is not a big problem."

"Thank you, senior. I understand."

"Well, I always have a firm heart and give myself psychological hints every day. Why do some top warriors have a stubborn personality? Because on the road of martial arts, there is no such thing as regret! No matter if there is a problem or not, no matter how difficult it is, I will stick to this path until the end. There will always be a way out when the car reaches the mountain!"

"Senior...what if there is no way?"

"If there is nothing, then there is nothing. Life is hard, and the worst that can happen is death! We can just do our best in everything. Until we are strong enough, we can only leave it to fate."

"Thank you for your guidance, I have benefited a lot from it!"

"The reason why the way of the world goes wrong is, on the one hand, because the world itself contains all things, good and bad. This is normal. Light and darkness are one... But I want to talk about another reason. Have you ever thought that our world has gone wrong?"

"Is it because of the evil god?"

"Yes, to be precise, it is because of the laws of the stars."

"What is the Law of the Stars?"

"You can think of it as another rule that is completely different from our universe..."

"So, the evil god comes from another universe?"

"The Great Wilderness and the Three Thousand Worlds are all in a folded, complex, multi-dimensional structure. This structure is the universe! The planet we are on and this starry sky are just one folded dimension of the universe. The Three Thousand Worlds that the Supremes are heading to are other three thousand different folded dimensions. In some dimensions, the sky is round and the earth is square, just like the Great Wilderness, with only an endless continent and no starry sky above. In some dimensions, the technology may be more advanced than ours. There are huge differences between different dimensions."

"So the Silver Eagle Federation's interstellar immigration plan won't work, right?"

"Yes, because as long as there are living beings in this dimension, the evil gods can sense them, because they are located in the center of the universe, the Great Wilderness!"

"What about escaping to the other three thousand world dimensions?"

"There are indeed dimensions that have not yet been invaded by the evil gods, but the evil gods have the Great Wilderness as a bridgehead, so it is only a matter of time. In fact, with our current strength and technology, we are simply not enough to take away billions of lives on earth, so those grandsons of the evacuation faction only want to leave with their self-proclaimed elites."

“Abandon the bottom?”

"People like this will never achieve great success in martial arts."

"Senior, can you see the words of Ge Xianweng on the third spiral staircase of the martial arts peak? Do you think it is possible to practice the inner scene to make the fake come true and lead the human guerrillas?"

"In theory, we can buy some time... But it's only a temporary solution, not a permanent one. This is the last resort when the situation is desperate."

"We still have to destroy the evil god."

"That's why I invited you, the determined resistance faction, to be the Light Bearers. This is not only for the sake of civilization, but also for your own martial arts. The problem with your world's Dao is that this world has been polluted by the evil gods, but the degree is still relatively shallow. If you want to go further on the Dao, you need to purge the evil gods from the world, but this is only a temporary solution. If you want to go further, you must cleanse the three thousand worlds and the wilderness and expel the laws of the stars."

At this moment, Lu Chenzhou finally realized how difficult his path was.

He must fight the evil god forever until the final victory is decided!
Zhenbei Tianwang asked with a smile:
"Are you a little scared?"

"Indeed... But I am not afraid of difficulties. Escaping is shameful and useless."

"Hahaha! Okay, I feel relieved after hearing what you said. President Wan is right. You are a good material in every aspect."

"Thank you for your praise. I would like to ask, how long will it take for the president to break through?"

"I don't know either. The further you go, the harder it is to open up a new path. Looking at the Great Wilderness, the Eighth Realm is full of top-level experts. After all, the Ninth Realm is what the gods of the stars call a demigod."

While chatting with Zhenbei Tianwang, Lu Chenzhou mastered a lot of knowledge.

Finally, the Heavenly King Zhenbei took out a pitch-black token with a human-faced snake-body and a red dragon holding a candle in its mouth, which shone with a mysterious luster.

"This is the [Lighting Order], also known as the [Candle Dragon Order]. It was left to us by a deceased wild god. There are only 360 of them. Anyone who holds this order is a member of our Lighting Order. The Lighting Order is not only a token of trust, it is also an instant communication tool. It is extremely important in the dark night when satellite signals are weak."

Lu Chenzhou took the token. The material was cold and the aura was ancient, which reminded him of the Wu Shui token.

"This is a token forged from a divine object. It is indestructible."

"Fantasy?"

"Yes, this is a treasure that is even more precious than the rare treasures of heaven and earth. It is the scale that fell off from the deceased God of the Wilderness."

"Hiss...if this is forging a divine weapon, isn't it?"

"You cannot change or control it in the slightest without divine intervention."

"It's also very good as a heart-protecting mirror."

"That's possible. The Wushui Token and the Tiandou Token are actually forged with rare materials of heaven and earth to prevent damage and loss of inheritance over a long period of time. The Lantern Holder Token can be used to recognize the owner by dropping blood. Once the owner is recognized, no one else will be chosen as the master unless the original owner dies. The new Lantern Holder needs to go through many tests and get the consent of more than two-thirds of the Lantern Holders before he can recognize the master again. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the enemy picking up the token and infiltrating our group!"

After the blood dripped, a stream of information from the token flowed into Lu Chenzhou's mind. He closed his eyes and entered another world in a trance:
Beyond the Great Northern Sea, to the north of the Wu River, is the Tianzhu Mountain.

There is a god, with a human face and a snake body, and a red body. His eyes are straight, his gaze is dark, and his sight is bright.

A red snake coiled on the top of the mountain, time and space were disordered around it, and black holes as big as buckets dotted the starry sky.

In front of the red snake, Lu Chenzhou was as small as a speck of dust.

Zhu, the Star Lord of the Universe! He is the great god who controls time. In Daxia legends, he is called [Zhu Long].

Like the Star Lord of Destiny Chiji, he is also the top existence in the Divine Court.

Time, destiny...these mysterious principles cannot be compared with ordinary principles.

With Lu Chenzhou's mastery of martial arts, he would not be able to look the god in the face if the red snake had not died.

What he saw was just a trace of willpower contained in a scale that had gone through countless years, just like the teachings of ancient sages!

The red snake's eyes looked across eternity.

One man and one snake, silent.

I don’t know how much time has passed, maybe ten thousand years, or maybe just a moment.

In Lu Chenzhou's pupils, there were reflected scenes of falling stars, sinking mountains and seas, the sky collapsing and the earth splitting, and all living things withering.

Before the illusion collapsed, he clearly heard a melancholy, majestic, and expectant question:

[If there is no candlelight in the world from now on, would you be willing to be the only light? ]

"I am willing!"

He had no hesitation about this.

Because his way of the world is closely related to civilization!

Buzz! Lu Chenzhou opened his eyes and looked at the extremely hot token in his palm.

Small red characters flickering in a flash appeared one after another:
[Candle Dragon Apostle No. 0].

"Zero??"

The Heavenly King Zhenbei's expression changed slightly, and his tone became heavier, somewhat unbelievable.

Lu Chenzhou's expression was equally wonderful as he looked at the martial arts tree in his mind.

At some point, it had grown from a hundred feet to a hundred and fifty feet.

The will in this Zhulong Order can actually promote the growth of the martial arts tree.

It seems that the martial arts tree can unlock different functions every time it reaches certain fixed nodes.

Initially, it was just a proficiency display.

After fifty feet, the [Battle Journey] began.

Lu Chenzhou was looking forward to it, when would the next node be?

What new features can be born?
Faintly, his comprehension of the Tao, his martial arts will, and his spirit seemed to have improved significantly.

When Lu Chenzhou came back to his senses, King Zhenbei's expression had returned to calm.

"Congratulations, you have become a member of the Lantern Master."

"Senior, what does this number zero mean? Am I the first one to get this token?"

"No, you are the 360th..."

"I'm the last one. Did my senior brothers and sisters also get it?"

"Yes."

"They said no..."

"They have to keep it secret until you become the Lantern Bearer."

"Okay, then why am I number zero, and who is number one?"

"Number One is my master, President Wan."

"..."

"What about my master?"

"Number thirty-six."

Lu Chenzhou was a little confused. He was still before Wanshixian? Wasn't this the opposite of Tiangang?

"Senior, is there anything special about this serial number?"

"At the moment, no... In fact, we have always believed that the sequence starts from number one and is ranked according to strength or talent potential."

The Heavenly King of Zhenbei couldn't figure it out either.

In terms of strength, Lu Chenzhou is at the bottom among all the lamp-bearers.

In terms of talent, Lu Chenzhou certainly has great potential, but his performance at this stage cannot surpass the top, or even the Dragon King and the Eternal Immortal.

"This is not important. You should be aware of the duties of a Light Master. You have the power to kill anyone who threatens you and the safety of civilization. The Candle Dragon Order itself also has the function of projecting your law enforcement. These will be shared by all Light Masters. Of course, you can turn it off during non-law enforcement periods."

"it is good."

"The peak is far away. Daxia now has three factions: the resistance faction, the evacuation faction, and the surrender faction... The Lantern Masters are all resistance factions. After layers of screening, they can trust each other. But most of the people outside of these 360 ​​people should also be resistance factions. However, we can't judge a person by his appearance. From martial artists to heavenly kings, there must be people who hold different ideas from us and do things secretly to split civilization. If such people are found, they must be caught and uprooted. For the evacuation faction, if they can return to the right path, they will naturally be welcomed. If they can't, they can only be cured by scraping the bones. For the surrender faction that colludes with sects and damages civilization, they will be uprooted and executed!"

The Heavenly King of Zhenbei had a cold look in his eyes. He did not want to attack his compatriots unless it was necessary.

Daxia has always believed in the will of all martial artists.

But the external pressure is too great and it is inevitable that some people will collapse.

Lu Chenzhou sighed: "Even the Heavenly King has given up?"

Anyone who can become a superstar is a genius, a person with great perseverance and talent.

Zhenbei Tianwang sighed:

"No matter how strong our martial arts will is, facing an evil god whose power far exceeds ours... there is a danger of corruption."

"What is the main responsibility of the juniors?"

"In theory, the Lantern Guard can be airborne to enforce the law in any area of ​​Daxia... You are too weak, so you can just handle the minor cases in Jiangnan for now. Our martial arts department has a special [Supervision Department] that is responsible for secretly collecting evidence and will issue missions from time to time. You can recruit no more than ten [Lamp Guards] you absolutely trust to assist in investigations and handling cases, so as not to waste too much time on practice. The Lantern Guards need to be reviewed by the martial arts department once a year. Once any problems are found, they will be dealt with seriously."

Some figures flashed through Lu Chenzhou's mind.

"Senior, do lamplighters also need to be inspected every year?"

"No need. When we became the apostles of Zhulong, our fate was tied to civilization. We have no way out. Although the Great Wilderness was destroyed, it left a glimmer of hope for the Three Thousand Worlds. Now that the era of God is gone, we must create the dawn of mankind and use our own hands... to create myths!"
