Chapter 391: Heavenly Emperor’s Scripture
“This thing will be of great benefit to you. If you refine it, you may be able to become a saint directly in a short period of time,” Su Chen said, handing the Heavenly Bloodshed Bead to Shang Zimo.
Hearing this, countless people sighed in their hearts. In their eyes, Su Chen was far too kindhearted.
Not only did he return the imperial weapon he had just obtained without any reluctance, but now he was even giving away the Heavenly Bloodshed Bead. Could it be Su Chen truly did not know the use of the Heavenly Bloodshed Bead?historical
This point, in the eyes of everyone present, seemed unlikely. This was the object the Profound Heaven Emperor had used to become a great emperor! It had reached the point where almost everyone knew of it. Yet now, Su Chen could casually give it away.
If they had been given such a chance, they asked themselves honestly – afraid even they could not have done the same. Not only could they not, but if things went wrong, Shang Zimo might even be labelled Shang Zhou’s accomplice. After all, Shang Zimo was Shang Zhou’s daughter, which was an indisputable fact. Even if they killed her, no one could say anything.
Yet Su Chen was the opposite of what everyone thought. Not only did he not kill her, he even wanted to nurture her.
“Fellow Daoist Su Chen’s breadth of mind is truly admirable; we feel ashamed in comparison!” said the Wang family patriarch, shaking his head slightly and sighing with admiration at the sight.
Compared to Su Chen, almost everyone seemed rather narrow-minded. They were used to the deceit and plunder in the cultivation world. Seeing Su Chen’s actions today, they were filled with complex emotions.
One had to know that facing a treasure, even brothers, father and son, master and disciple, it was common for them to turn on each other, let alone mere chance friends. It was precisely because of this that Su Chen’s every action was so valuable. Everyone present was moved.
They could be enemies with anyone in life, but never Su Chen! This was not because they feared his background, but because if even the kindhearted Fellow Daoist Su Chen they made an enemy of, how could they still be considered human?
“Big Brother Su Chen, this is far too valuable, 1 cannot accept it! Moreover… you have already saved my life. If you do not mind, I am willing to serve as a servant for a lifetime, accompanying Big Brother at your side!” Shang Zimo said solemnly, waving her hands. She had thought it through carefully and spoke earnestly from her heart.
In fact, back in the Dachu Empire when Su Chen had first aided her, she’d already had this thought. Unfortunately, her mother was still alive then. Additionally, the Dashang Empire kept sending people to search for her. If she was by Su Chen’s side, it would bring calamity not just to Su Chen, but even to the Great Mystery Sect behind him.
But it was different now. She was currently alone without any ties. As long as Su Chen did not mind her low cultivation, she would do anything.
“Here it comes!” Su Chen thought to himself. The tropes of the martial world still applied in the cultivation world. In the end, everyone was still human. The people of the fantasy world were just slightly stronger compared to the martial world, but still human. Thus, it was reasonable for some martial world tropes to appear.
Su Chen looked deeply at Shang Zimo. In the depths of his heart, he truly wanted such a maid. After all, Shang Zimo ranked in the top five beauties among women he knew, and this was just based on looks without any support from strength.
Take Long Wu for example. She was a saint king, whose flawless beauty was self-evident. Even if her looks were ordinary, just her Saint King Realm strength would still give an astounding sense. In the future, if Shang Zimo became a saint, her looks would probably improve even more. After all, the stronger one became, the more perfect their appearance.
Yet Su Chen did not intend to do so. Firstly, he had already established a noble image in everyone’s hearts. Agreeing really might shatter that image instantly. Another reason was that Shang Zimo currently offered little help to him. Rather than have her follow him, it was better to have her focus on refining the Heavenly Bloodshed Bead.
With the Heavenly Bloodshed Formation, after passing her Nirvana and Saint Tribulations, her aptitude would undergo earth-shaking changes. By then, even if she could not become peerless, becoming a genius would not be an issue. At that time, with some guidance from him, Shang Zimo might even have the chance to become a great emperor!
Thinking of this, Su Chen’s gaze landed on Shang Zimo as he said, “This thing was ultimately left behind by Shang Zhou, your father. No matter what, this Heavenly Bloodshed Bead should belong to you. Moreover…” Here Su Chen paused, as a pagoda appeared in his hand covered densely with flickering sigils and light.
“Your father’s actions today have shaken the entire continent. I’ll leave him to you now!”
Su Chen had already destroyed Shang Zhou’s cultivation. The current Shang Zhou was just an ordinary person. Even if Shang Zimo did not pursue it, Shang Zhou did not have long left to live.
The reason he did not kill Shang Zhou was because no matter what, the man was still Shang Zimo’s father. Since he planned to properly nurture Shang Zimo, to avoid any rift between them, handing Shang Zhou over to her to deal with was the safest method.
“Thank you, Big Brother Su Chen!” Shang Zimo pursed her lips. This time she did not refuse, but reached out to take the items Su Chen handed over.
[Senior Su Chen is kindhearted and will surely become a great emperor in the future: 100,000/100,000]
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the Heavenly Emperor’s Scripture (Emperor Level)!]
Hearing the voice in his mind, Su Chen’s heart stirred. This Emperor’s Scripture had come at just the right time. His previous cultivation methods could only reach the Saint Realm. Now this Emperor’s Scripture could make up for his shortcomings.
With it, he need not worry about cultivation methods before becoming a great emperor. After becoming an emperor, he would worry even less. At that time, perhaps he could even try creating his own Emperor’s Scripture!
“It’s just the right thing to do,” Su Chen said, waving his hand and turning to the others, his smile undiminished.
Ever since sealing Shang Zhou, hundreds of brags had appeared in his mind, triggered by the people present. So he had to help them one by one, showing his approachable side. This way, the speed of bragging would greatly increase..
