Chapter 111: 111
King Qi’s rebellion had ultimately been quelled . News of this outcome shook the entire Great Zhou Empire, making the various factions dumbstruck . No one had expected the seemingly unstoppable king Qi to met such a fate…
One must know that the royal clan had previously been unable to anything to king Qi . If not, the former would not have tolerated the latter growing so powerful .
However, the power displayed by the royal clan during the battle stunned everyone .
In their shock, the various factions began to realise that the seemingly waning royal clan was in actuality not as weak as they had expected .
As the saying went, a malnourished camel was still bigger than a horse . The once titan-like entity that was the Great Zhou royal clan was not to be underestimated even after experiencing so many failures and setbacks .
Thus, the factions that were originally planning on taking advantage of the situation had no choice but to retract their ready claws, afraid that someone might catch a glimpse .
Everyone knew that after purging the cancerous king Qi, the royal clan would soon regain its authority in the Great Zhou Empire . Any factions that dared to challenge them would likely end up with the same fate as king Qi .
Hence, the atmosphere in the Great Zhou Empire seemed to become substantially better for a while . No one dared to go against the king’s orders, afraid they might become the next target of the royal clan .
. . .
“Unconscious for an entire month…” Hundreds of flowers bloomed in a certain courtyard within the royal palace where Zhou Yuan sat on a stone chair, his face filled with lamentation .
It had been a whole month since king Qi’s rebellion was quelled . He had spent all that time in an unconscious state, not awakening till today .
This was evidently the price of forcibly strengthening his Spirit to control Silver Shadow .
“This is already pretty lucky . If you had not practiced the Primal Chaos Divine Grindstone Visualisation Method that made your Spirit much tougher than normal, I’m afraid it won’t be the case of being unconscious for a month, but forever . ” A monotone voice was transmitted from behind Zhou Yuan .
Zhou Yuan smiled awkwardly as he turned his head to see Yaoyao walking over . The young lady’s slender figure looked even more exquisite than usual when wrapped by her green clothes .
Yaoyao stared straight at Zhou Yuan and solemnly said, “I advise you to not use this method in future . Your Spirit is still too weak to control Silver Shadow . If you keep forcing yourself, your Spirit might even be irrevocably damaged, a situation that would be very unworthwhile indeed . ”
Zhou Yuan could sense Yaoyao’s seriousness and knew that she was showing concern for him . He smiled and nodded . “Don’t worry, it will only be a last resort . ”
After all, the previous battle had been far too important . If he had not borrowed Silver Shadow’s power, king Qi’s side would have absolutely dominated them . If that happened, the ones who ended up crumbling first would be them .
Such an outcome was unimaginable . It was likely that the royal clan would be annihilated .
Zhou Yuan would never allow that to happen . Hence, even while aware of the extreme risk, he was still duty-bound to use Silver Shadow .
After all, there were responsibilities he needed to shoulder as the prince of the Great Zhou Empire .
“It isn’t all bad news though, it seems . . . that I have ascended to the mid Qi Nourishing stage . ” Zhou Yuan grinned . As he extended his hand, one would see dark gold Genesis Qi rising from the center of his palm . At closer inspection, strange blood-red threads were visible within the Genesis Qi .
Yaoyao offhandedly said, “Mid Qi Nourishing stage… do you feel restricted after falling to this level from being able to kill an Alpha-Origin?”
Zhou Yuan pondered for a while before shaking his head . “It was true that borrowing Silver Shadow’s power made me very powerful, but such power is ultimately not my own . So don’t worry, I will not be drunk with such external power and allow myself to stray . ”
He waved about the rising dark gold Genesis Qi on his palm as he grinned . “This is the power that truly belongs to me . It may be very weak now, but I believe that the day will come when it becomes very strong . ”
