Charging Toward the Sky Dome (Fourth Update)
As Ye Lanshan downed another glass of wine, she looked at Su Mingyue and asked, "Ming Yue, what's wrong?"
Su Mingyue raised her head. "It's nothing, Senior Sister. I think I'm a little tired, so I won't drink anymore. I'm going back to rest. I won't see you off when you leave."
"Oh! Okay then, you should get some rest. You don't need to see me off. I'll be leaving soon, and we might meet again outside in a few days."
Yue Feng stared blankly as Su Mingyue got up and left, then asked Ye Lanshan, "Did I do anything wrong?"
"No, Tyrant, you did a great job. Maybe Ming Yue isn't in a good mood because I'm leaving today."
"Hmph! What's with the bad mood? It's all because of that Lin Zhen."
"Tyrant, I think Ming Yue will eventually face reality. Give him some time."
Yue Feng waved his hand. "No need to say anything. I've given it to her for a long time. In the past two years, I've been very attentive to her and have never forced her to do anything. She can absorb the Star Crystal in the Sky Dome at will, but she has never even looked at me properly. She left after having a couple of drinks today because she doesn't want to see me. Since she hates me so much, I don't need to be too accommodating to her."
Ye Lanshan sighed, "Fine, I don't want to get involved in your affairs anymore. Anyway, I'm leaving soon. After I advanced to the War God, I feel that the energy in my body has begun to be rejected by the Star Fruit Tree. Staying here makes me extremely uncomfortable. I'll go say goodbye to Ming Yue and then leave the Star Fruit Tree."
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Well, I was thinking of staying a little longer, but I can't stand it even for such a short time. This place is definitely not for War God. Tyrant, thank you for your hospitality. I'll take my leave now."
Ye Lanshan was indeed in great discomfort. As she became the War God, the Dantian Qi evolved, causing it to repel the energy within the Star Fruit Tree. She felt like she couldn't breathe even if she stayed for a little longer. She hurriedly bid farewell to Yue Feng and went to the Rear Palace. A short while later, she left the Sky Dome.
Yue Feng didn't see them off. Instead, he drank a cup of wine and said to Dong Shencai and the Human Path, "I will be in seclusion tonight. You can prepare as you wish. I will definitely advance to the rank of War God and emerge from seclusion before tomorrow morning. We will hold the wedding immediately then."
The people around were taken aback for a moment, and then they all cheered loudly.
"Tyrant, Tyrant! Congratulations on your advancement to God of War! Not only are you about to become War God, but you're also getting Grand Wedding. We'll have plenty of wine to drink again!"
"The story of the Tyrant marrying the Holy Maiden will surely be a beautiful tale at the Star Fruit Tree."
"Everyone, get moving early tomorrow and see if the Tyrant is missing anything. Get him everything he needs, so Tyrant can have a wonderful spring night!"
The people around him burst into laughter, and Yue Feng also raised the corner of his mouth. "Actually, there's nothing missing. The only thing missing is someone to attend the ceremony. If he doesn't come, this wedding will really feel a little incomplete."
"Who's missing from the ceremony? Almost everyone who should be here from inside the Star Fruit Tree has arrived, right?"
Yue Feng took a sip of his drink. "Lin Zhen!"
The people around fell silent. It was no secret that the Holy Maiden liked Lin Zhen. Holy Maiden had been together since the Ant Nest days. Some even said that the Holy Maiden couldn't sleep without being held by Lin Zhen Lin Zhen, but no one knew whether it was true or not.
However, this matter involved the Tyrant's reputation, so no one dared to speak carelessly, lest they say something that displeased the Tyrant and brought about their own disaster.
After a moment of silence, a martial artist finally shouted, "Tyrant, what is Lin Zhen? Look at all those martial artists lining up outside to receive Star Crystal and IOU. Your idea was brilliant! Just announce your name, add a little favor, and they all surrendered without a second thought. Lin Zhen's wings were clipped so easily. Let's see how he tries to flutter now!"
"That's right. Once these people have the Star Crystal and the IOU, they'll have to obey the Tyrant. Tyrant 'll give them a word and they'll have to do whatever he tells them to do. Lin Zhen, let's get past them first."
"A bunch of brainless idiots. Do you think 500 million is so easy to get? If Lin Zhen has the courage to come to the Sky Dome, then they will be cannon fodder."
Yue Feng had already told the people in Sky Dome about Yue Feng giving the other martial artists 500 million. In Yue Feng's view, even though they had IOU, these people would be the vanguard against Lin Zhen in the event of a battle.
Another martial artist said, "However, the Tyrant's concerns are also reasonable. In this situation, I'm afraid Lin Zhen won't come. If this kid hides away, once these IOU are sent out, it won't be a small amount of money if these martial artists go to Raging Wind to ask for it later."
"Yes, if we could capture Lin Zhen and make him come here to witness the Tyrant and the Holy Maiden's marriage and Honeymoon Suite, that would be incredibly satisfying!"
At this moment, a martial artist rushed in and came straight to Yue Feng's table. "Tyrant, Lin Zhen has escaped!"
"He ran away? Where did he go? Wasn't he so determined to come to Sky Dome?"
"I don't know. After all the martial artists at the Beehive left yesterday, only Lin Zhen and his few close friends remained. I don't know what Lin Zhen said to those people. He was still there last night, but he didn't show up this morning. I don't know where he went."
Yue Feng pondered for a moment, "He wouldn't have left the Star Fruit Tree, would he?"
"I don't know, but if he were coming here, he should have arrived long ago. Since he hasn't shown up, I guess he's not coming this way."
Hearing this, Yue Feng sneered, downed his drink in one gulp, and then crushed the glass in his hand. "Hmph! He's quick to run, but I believe he's still nearby. The wedding will proceed as planned tomorrow. Lin Zhen! You're not coming now, are you? You won't be able to get in tomorrow. You can just watch me marry Su Mingyue from outside the Sky Dome!"
********
The situation in the Sky Dome did not affect Lin Zhen. He had been in the Beehive for seven days and had absorbed a total of four hundred Star Crystal. He was still one hundred crystals away from the tenth level of Dantian Qi Tenfold Compression.
He estimated that he would be able to advance to the tenth level in three more days, but he could no longer stay in the Beehive. If he stayed in three more days, the Ketu lost.
So last night, Lin Zhen left the Beehive.
Now, the only places with abundant Star Crystal inside the Star Fruit Tree are Honeycomb Anthill, and the Sky Dome. However, Lin Zhen didn't go to the Sky Dome immediately; instead, he went to the Tree Heart Lake.
The Tree Heart Lake is located at the very center of the Star Fruit Tree, while the Sky Dome is located above the Tree Heart Lake, at the top of the Star Fruit Tree.
Upon arriving at Tree Heart Lake, Lin Zhen flew on his shield, heading straight for the center of the lake.
When Lin Zhen came to collect the Mental Power Star Crystal that time, he wondered why there was only one Special Star Crystal in this place.
He hadn't thought about it carefully before, but after seeing the Space-Time Wandering Flower, Lin Zhen vaguely felt that there should be Lifebound Star Crystal around the Special Star Crystal.
However, the water level at Tree Heart Lake was high at the time, and Lin Zhen was being chased by the Insect Swarm. He took the Special Star Crystal from afar and ran away without observing it carefully.
So when he remembered this incident and left the Beehive, he immediately came to Tree Heart Lake.
The buzzing insects that followed Lin Zhen from land, Sea-Land-Air, and air were all left in the dust by Lin Zhen's few Teleportation.
Lin Zhen eventually drew all the land, sea, Sea-Land-Air in the center of the lake to a distance before finally arriving at the tree branch that was still above the water.
"The tree branch in the middle of the lake must be something special."
Lin Zhen landed on a branch and looked down to examine it carefully.
Sure enough, beneath the rippling blue water, there were thirty or forty flowers blooming in the water, their starlight obscured by the ripples, making them almost invisible without careful observation.
"Haha! There really is one. This Mental Power Flower blooms in the water, and these aquatic Star Crystal must contain a lot of energy, which will help me advance to the tenth level."
Lin Zhen sat down, reached into the water, and plucked a Star Crystal from the water.
After absorbing one, Lin Zhen discovered that the power of this Star Crystal was indeed quite good. Although it was not as strong as the one in the Space Crack, it was close to maturity. One of them was almost equivalent to the three that had just appeared.
Lin Zhen counted them briefly; there were thirty-three Star Crystal here.
"Thirty-three pills. Hopefully, this will allow me to advance to level ten."
Lin Zhen spent a whole day and night right in the middle of Tree Heart Lake.
The thirty-three Star Crystal allowed Lin Zhen to break through his strength once again, reaching the peak of the Ninefold Compression.
"That's it. One Star Crystal here is equivalent to three in the Beehive, so thirty-three are equal to ninety-nine. If I had just one more, I estimate I could advance to the tenth level. Should we go find another one?"
Lin Zhen was somewhat unsatisfied, but unfortunately there were no more Star Crystal left. If he were to search for more, he would probably have to return to the Beehive or Ant Nest, which would take up a lot of time.
Lin Zhen took out her phone to check the time and found that it was already 10:30 in the morning!
"Oh no! Today is the day Yue Feng is going to marry Ming Yue. According to wedding customs, it has to start at 11 o'clock. I can't wait any longer. My current strength is enough. I should go to the Sky Dome."
Lin Zhen stood up from the tree branch and stretched his body. He felt his internal Dantian Qi, with Electric Light swirling around the Dark Star, indicating abundant energy.
The entire Dantian is like a cup full of water. If just one more drop of water is added, the cup will overflow and a breakthrough will be imminent!
Lin Zhen raised her head and looked up at the top of Tree Heart Lake.
"The Sky Dome is just upstream from Tree Heart Lake. I can't take a detour; I'll just go straight through here!"
Lin Zhen's current Mind Power Teleportation cannot move too far at once. The Teleport one's Mental Power, the greater the range of movement. However, with Lin Zhen's Early Dark Gold Mental Power, he can easily move within a range of tens of meters.
He tossed a shield into the air, sending it 30 meters high. With a thought, Lin Zhen appeared on the shield.
Whoosh!
The next moment, Lin Zhen soared more than twenty meters into the air, his shield slid through the air, and his body disappeared from the spot. After a few flashes, he had already disappeared into the dense jungle.
