Way of the Devil - Chapter 341

Chapter 341




"True Essence Tower?" Lu Sheng squinted . "What's that?"

"The True Essence Tower is a huge tower under a constant rotation . If your physical body is strong enough, you can go inside and cultivate . It doesn't supply you with a high density of spiritual essence, but it slows down time . " Chen Jing's tone was slightly envious and admiring .

"Slow time?" Lu Sheng was actually shocked this time .

"Correct . One day outside can equal two days, three days, or even a month inside the True Essence Tower . As long as your body can sustain the spinning speed, you can cultivate and catch up to others inside . You can surpass people in a very short amount of time . Many prodigies used this to improve their success . But even the lowest level True Essence Towers can only be found in the main sects," Chen Jing sighed . "I used the lowest level True Essence Tower, Nine Pines, to break through to Earth level . "

"Spinning speed?" Lu Sheng was taken aback again .

"This was based on the Time Change Theory the True Essence Weapon Master came up with . It's something saying that speed and time are opposites . If you have time, you can go to the library to look this up in the main sect . " Chen Jing truly was a strong Earth level person that had been to the main sect . His knowledge was vaster than that of anyone Lu Sheng knew .

Lu Sheng didn't expect for this world to already touch on the concept of time and speed . But after thinking about it, it made sense . All the strong people in this world were way stronger than any human on earth, and could go up the sky or into the ground . So, coming up with such a theory and being able to test it out personally made it easier here than on earth .

After all, on earth, people were just making guesses based on aliens .

All these thoughts flashed through Lu Sheng's head in a second, and he hurriedly nodded .

"When are we leaving?"

"When we get the transfer notice from the main sect . Someone will come pick us up . It shouldn't be longer than two months, so get ready . " Chen Jing estimated the time . "Also, you're not from the Great Yin, are you?"

Lu Sheng fell silent . He didn't confirm nor deny it .

Chen Jing smiled . "Don't think too lowly of our Thousand Sun Sect . Do you know why our name is called Thousand Sun?"

"No…" Lu Sheng answered honestly .

"The meaning behind it is that this sect takes a thousand suns . We accept all and everything . We have even taken in disciples from Other Worlds . As long as you're not a Devil or from the World of Pain, there's nothing to worry about . As long as you have potential and strength, nothing will be the problem," Chen Jing chuckled .



But Lu Sheng fell silent again . The rules and acceptance of the Thousand Sun Sect were out of his expectation . Now, in comparison he seemed to be stingy by hiding his true abilities and joining .

If he really thought about it, in big sects like the Thousand Sun Sect, a top Devil King level person would just be an average elder . Here, there were multiple Divine Lords and Crazy Divine Weapons for each Devil Lord, not to mention Weapon Masters who reigned over all .

'Come to think of it, the Hundred Lineages copied the format here . '

Thinking up to here, Lu Sheng slightly relaxed his resolve to hide his abilities . He'd just pretend he was a disciple who had a previous master . And once he got to the Main Sect and had the True Essence Tower, he could hide the fact of his abilities improving so quickly . He'd be fine as long as he displayed a strong enough physical body that could take on the time-slowing function of the True Essence Tower .

"Do you understand now?" Chen Jing smiled at Lu Sheng .

"I understand . " Lu Sheng nodded .

"So, no matter what your previous background is, as long as you're human, our Thousand Sun Sect will accept you . Right now, you have the backing of Master Qian Du, so there's nothing for you to worry about . As long as the sect master himself doesn't say anything, with Master Qian Du behind your back, you don't have to hide anything . You can show your true self . " Chen Jing had obviously found out some things from his previous investigation .

"I understand . All I did was hide some of my abilities, nothing else . " Lu Sheng also smiled .

"Then what are you worrying about?" Chen Jing laughed . "Don't forget to make a visit to the secret area and talk with your master . Everyone had thought she wouldn't take on disciples anymore after all these years, so you really got their attention . "

"Okay . " Lu Sheng nodded solemnly .

The manuscript was fast . It only took them a few minutes to arrive at a pretty, pink grassland .

There was a triangular buddhist temple in the center .

From above, the temple was white and had black, glazed tiles on the three ends . In the center was a golden pattern of a sun, and there was a huge shell pattern inside the sun .

Chen Jing guided the manuscript into the right side of the temple and landed on a flat, white area .

There were already over ten white-robed men waiting for him there . Seeing Chen Jing walk off, they bowed slightly .

"Sect Master, Spirit Bind Sect responded," the silver-haired elder in the front spoke .



"I will go to the Conference Room in a minute . Go and report to Sect Master Xu and Sect Master Yang," Chen Jing ordered . The Sect Masters Xu and Yang he mentioned were the two vice-Sect Masters of this branch .

"Yes . " The elder backed down .

Chen Jing turned around, and explained about the supplementary art and their location to Lu Sheng . "A lot of carpenters, formation masters, and medicine masters live here all-year-round in this branch in Autumn Moon City . If you have any needs, you can come back here . Of course, these are only for you . We don't accept orders from outsiders . "

Lu Sheng nodded . "I understand . Thank you, Sect Master, for sending me here . "

"Go . Follow the white stone path and you will come to the square inside the sect . I have other business to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave . " After hurriedly giving him directions, Chen Jing left with a few other people .

The rest walked toward Lu Sheng after welcoming and sending off their sect master .

"Direct Disciple Lu, I've heard about your fame . Do you need a guide?" a woman with long, red hair offered quietly .

"No need, I'll just look around myself . " Lu Sheng declined with a smile .

"That's okay . I'm the head here, so if you have any questions about the landing spots and flying routes, you can ask me," the red-haired woman continued introducing herself calmly .

"Okay . " Lu Sheng nodded .

Everyone else left, leaving him alone . Apart from a few guards, there was no one else .

Lu Sheng looked around .

Except for the large, white buddhist temple in front of him, in the rest of the three directions was a pink grassland that he couldn't see the end of .

A cold wind blew, making the flag flap in the wind with clanking noises .

Lu Sheng looked down . The white stone tiles on the floor seemed to be unordinary . They were harder than normal stone tiles, and when one stepped on them, there was a sturdy, bouncy feel—just as if one were stepping on rubber .

He followed the white stone path forward . Each step took him twenty meters forward, and he came to the entrance to the buddhist temples in a few steps .

There were two guards dressed in black armor and holding long spears . Glancing at the direct disciple insignia on Lu Sheng, they bowed slightly, but remained silent .

Lu Sheng walked through the arched gate and a tunnel of a few tens of meters before arriving at the square in the Thousand Sun Sect in Autumn Moon City .

The square was empty and cold . Apart from its guards, the only signs of life were a few figures talking under the huge stone pillars in the distance . The stone pillars were over ten meters tall, so the humans seemed insignificant compared to them .

There were six doors leading out from the triangular square . All of them were over ten meters high and five meters wide, while the doors were wide open and showing white lanterns that lit up the way .

In the center of the square was a huge statue of a black hand . The palm of the hand was open, and a white lotus-like flower was suspended above it . It gave off a soft, white light .

Following Sect Master Chen Jing's instructions, Lu Sheng looked at the signs above the six doors and quickly found the one that represented the library . He pushed off on his feet and floated across hundreds of meters at once, shooting through the second door to the right .

Passing through the long, empty tunnel, Lu Sheng occasionally ran into other disciples leaving or entering . Everyone was using arts for walking, and sped by .

The passage led to a ten meter tall tunnel, which was empty most of the time . If there was a figure, it disappeared quickly, making it seem even more lonely .

After going through the tunnel, Lu Sheng finally saw the library that Sect Master Chen Jing had mentioned .

It was a huge bookshelf at the end of the tunnel .

A huge black bookshelf over thirty meters tall .

Every row was taller than a person, and each book was about as big as a fully grown adult .

When Lu Sheng arrived, there were a few disciples on the bookshelf, picking out books .

Lu Sheng exclaimed in his heart that he would never see such a big bookshelf on earth .

Back to reality, he looked toward the signs to the left of the bookshelf . He soon found where the True Arts were .

They were at the very top of the bookshelf .

Lu Sheng jumped lightly and shot into the sky . With the help of True Qi pushing him up, he changed directions mid-air and easily made it to the sixth, and topmost, row .

There weren't many people on the bookshelf in the first place . This was a place only direct disciples and very few inner disciples were allowed to enter . Plus, given the fact that this was a huge area, and a huge bookshelf, there were even less people on each level .

After Lu Sheng jumped up . There was only one other person on this row .

"Lu Sheng, Junior Apprentice Brother Lu?" It was a girl with a black ponytail . Hearing the sound, she turned around to look, and then exclaimed in surprise .

"You are…" Lu Sheng looked at her, puzzled . He didn't recognize her .

"Yun Wanfei . You may call me Senior Apprentice Sister Yun . " The woman had delicate features and a beauty mole next to the outer corner of her right eye . She looked soft and sexy .

"So it is Elder Yun . " Lu Sheng had heard Elder Zhang Shilong mention her before . At the time, Elder Zhang wanted to take him to visit Elder Yun and purchase some high-quality slaves and servants .

In the entire Autumn Moon City, the Yun Family was the largest family dealing in slavery . They usually sold people found by the Black Seal Temple in Other Worlds or people kidnapped from neighboring countries . As for Yun Wanfei, she was one of the main pillars of the Yun Family .

"Don't be so formal . Junior Apprentice Brother Lu has much potential . You're a prodigy about to go into the main sect . I happen to have a few slaves in my hands that would suit you . I don't know if you are interested?" Yun Wanfei smiled .

"Oh?" Now that she brought this up, Lu Sheng was a little tempted . Currently, he had no one to order around, and had to do everything himself . His servants hadn't arrived yet .

Inside one of the sects in the Great Yin, if he happened to be cultivating elsewhere, the Prime Devil Sect wouldn't be able to find him after arriving . That would be a problem .

So, he did need a few people of his own that could keep an eye on the outside world for him .

"If so, if Senior Apprentice Sister Yun isn't too busy, could you take this Lu to check out some appropriate servants? I need some that will be absolutely loyal," Lu Sheng responded in a low voice .

"No problem! I promise, Junior Apprentice Brother, that you will be happy," Yun Wanfei said with certainty .
