The King of Wu revealed a look of satisfaction: "I never expected you, so young, to have such comprehension!"
"You are right!"
"If the price of becoming a saint is the sacrifice of the family, friendship, and love we cherish!"
"Then it's better not to be a saint!"
"Even if one can possess eternal life after becoming a saint!"
"It would only be to keep loneliness company through an endless life!"
"Is this fortune, or misfortune?"
The King of Wu's words struck a chord with Chen Nan!
"Chen Nan, your talent is evident for all to see!"
"But..."
"You have one flaw!"
"You are too soft-hearted!"
"Perhaps you have unavoidable reasons, principles!"
"But soft-hearted is soft-hearted!"
"One day, you will find that your soft heart will be your downfall!"
Saying this, he patted Chen Nan's shoulder and said earnestly: "There is no love for no reason in this world, nor is there hate for no reason!"
"Ninth Uncle, do you know something? Can you be more direct?" Chen Nan was completely bewildered!
The King of Wu said: "I am good to you because you saved Little Nineteen's life!"
"Because you are the disciple of the madman!"
"And because I want you to help the Kingdom of Wu set up a Qi Luck Array!"
"As for the madman being good to you, it's because you validated his conjecture about formations!"
"But, what about others?" He smiled cryptically, clearly knowing something!
Chen Nan felt there was more to the King of Wu's words!
"Alright, let's not dwell on this, let's see who reaches the seaside first!" With that, a golden light appeared beneath his feet, carrying him towards the southern sea!
Chen Nan didn't think much of it. He used the Roc Technique and arrived at the seaside a step ahead of the King of Wu!
At this moment!
Wu Sheng and Cao Rufeng were sitting by the shore, fishing!
Worms were crawling everywhere around them!
"Brother Chen, do you want to fish? I find fishing to be incredibly interesting!" Wu Sheng said, "In front of fishing, true equality for all exists, regardless of whether you are an Immortal Emperor or an ordinary person, there is no difference!"
"The fish in the sea won't bite your hook just because you're an Immortal Emperor!"
Chen Nan picked up the worms on the ground and then took out a bowl from his storage magical treasure: "You guys aren't doing it right. You need to prepare a bowl, then you won't have to worry about the worms crawling everywhere!"
As he spoke!
He was struck by lightning!
He froze instantly!
"Brother Chen, why are you spacing out? Give me a worm...!" Before Wu Sheng could finish speaking, the King of Wu kicked him dozens of meters away, and he fell into the sea with a splash!
"Old Ninth Wu, are you crazy?" Wu Sheng, furious, swam back to the shore!
Cao Rufeng whispered: "Don't make a sound, this fellow is having another epiphany!"
???
Wu Sheng was filled with disbelief!
Another epiphany?
Is epiphany that easy?
"Hahaha, I got it!"
"I got it!"
Chen Nan came back to his senses!
His face was filled with excitement, he opened his hands, and a faint yellow light appeared in his palm!
This was the auspicious energy he had stolen!
"Master, we've been researching for so long, and our direction wasn't wrong!"
"It's just that not all formations are without foundation!"
"Just like a bowl of water!"
"The reason it's a bowl of water is mainly because it's contained within a bowl!"
"The Qi Luck Array is like the water in the bowl!"
"The auspicious energy within uses heaven and earth as its carrier!"
"If we want it to stay in a fixed place!"
"Then we must find a new carrier!"
"This can also be understood as the formation base!"
Cao Rufeng's eyes blazed with dazzling light: "Then do you know how to set up the formation base?"
"I have a method, it might work!"
Chen Nan tried to calm his emotions!
A yellow light burst from his right palm!
This yellow light was a bit more concentrated than the auspicious energy.
"Is this merit power?" Cao Rufeng gasped!
The King of Wu was also full of shock: "I never imagined that at your young age, you could possess merit power!"
He knew Chen Nan possessed the Ancient Desolate Holy Body!
Such individuals were halfway to entering the Saint Realm!
However!
It was truly difficult for the Ancient Desolate Holy Body to grow!
Especially in the later stages!
There would be countless tribulations!
But!
Chen Nan, at such a young age, had mastered merit power!
This was beyond his expectations!
The merit power bloomed in Chen Nan's hand, transforming into a semi-transparent bowl!
It contained the auspicious energy!
Instantly!
The sea breeze turned cool!
Schools of fish swam to the shore!
In the distance, countless wild flowers sprouted from the ground, visible to the naked eye!
"It's done, it's done!"
Cao Rufeng was as excited as a child!
The seaside was saline-alkali land!
Nothing could grow here!
But!
Now countless wild flowers bloomed!
This was the effect of the Qi Luck Array!
The King of Wu was also filled with excitement!
The effect of the Qi Luck Array was too powerful!
With it, the Kingdom of Wu would surely prosper eternally!
"Ninth Uncle, I'll leave this Qi Luck Array to you! As for where to place it, that's up to your preference!" Chen Nan controlled the Qi Luck Array and floated towards the King of Wu!
He was very weak!
Because he had consumed a large amount of merit power!
Even his Nascent Soul appeared listless!
The King of Wu's eyes burned with desire as he reached out and took the Qi Luck Array!
Then he looked at Wu Sheng: "Nineteen, as the future Emperor of the Kingdom of Wu, where do you want to place the Qi Luck Array?"
"Donghuang City!" Wu Sheng looked in the direction of Donghuang City!
For him!
The city with the most potential was Donghuang City!
It bordered the Demon Realm and was rich in resources!
If peaceful coexistence with the demon race was possible!
It would be a mutually beneficial affair for both the demon race!
And the human race!
The King of Wu burst into laughter: "We truly have the same idea, then let's place the Qi Luck Array in Donghuang City!"
With that, he formed a hand seal, and a celestial technique enveloped the Qi Luck Array, sending it towards Donghuang City!
Cao Rufeng smiled: "Donghuang City is the eastern gateway of the Kingdom of Wu. Once this gate can be opened, it will be a deed of immeasurable merit for the people of Wu, and even for the entire human race!"
Chen Nan agreed: "Master is right, ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs are common in the Demon Realm, but in the Human Realm, ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs are expensive!"
As he spoke!
Chen Nan shivered!
A pale yellow merit power descended from the sky and enveloped him!
The concentration of this merit power was far greater than anything he had obtained before!
"I'm envious!" The King of Wu swallowed with a dazed expression!
Cao Rufeng also murmured: "I'm envious too!"
Wu Sheng: "Me too!"
Merit power was rare!
They did not expect Chen Nan to obtain so much merit power in one go!
A moment later!
Chen Nan's complexion regained its rosy hue!
He felt his body filled with power!
His Nascent Soul also regained its vitality!
"As per our agreement, if you could help my Kingdom of Wu set up the Qi Luck Array, I would give you a fortuitous encounter!" The King of Wu said, "Now is the time for me to fulfill my promise!"
Wu Sheng seemed to have thought of something and exclaimed: "Old man, are you going to send Brother Chen to that place?"
