Chapter Thirty-Nine Path to Godhood

Lu Shui stared at the river surface, unsure of what to say. He had decided to make a move, only for the enemy to disappear.

It was like wanting to make a point in a conversation, only to have someone else steal your thunder.

He felt like he had something to get off his chest.

He still wanted to land a finishing blow.

Just as he was about to move forward, something suddenly flew out of the river.

Lu Shui reached out and caught it, using Heaven and Earth Power as a shield to prevent any accidents.

Then, a voice came from beneath the river:

"Human, seeing as you're quite arrogant, I'll give you a book on the Path to Godhood."

Lu Shui sighed inwardly. It wasn't without reason that this god was suppressed here.

Finally, he looked at the item in his hand. It was a book, but the words on the cover were a bit blurry.

It wasn't a matter of being blurry, but a matter of layers.

"It seems this is indeed no ordinary book," Lu Shui thought.

Subsequently, he directly used Heaven and Earth Power to examine the book, and this time he could see very clearly. The book's title was:

Nine Hundred Years of Compulsory Education for Godhood - Dark Chapter.

Lu Shui: "..."

Out of curiosity, Lu Shui examined the First Page:

I am the Sole True God of Heaven and Earth.

Under me, there should be Seven Sovereigns.

Second Page

Today I woke up from my bed, another beautiful day. As long as I work hard, I will surely reach the Godhood Academy.

Once I reach the Godhood Academy, I will be able to become a god.

Keep it up, Liya.

Madam Dai Er said she was going to the mountains to chop wood today. I have prepared myself.

Although there are Devil Beasts in the mountains, I am destined to become a god, so I am not afraid.

Lu Shui flipped through a few pages and finally closed the book.

If he wasn't mistaken, this was a poorly written autobiographical novel.

The protagonist was a female named Liya.

Her main goal was to get to the Godhood Academy.

However, she kept repeating the task of chopping wood. Who knows when she would reach the Godhood Academy.

Driven by curiosity, Lu Shui opened the book again. He flipped directly to the last page to see if she had become a god:

Today I arrived in the big city. It is said that it is only a three-year journey from here to the Godhood Academy. I feel that godhood is within reach.

I've been hungry for many days. I plan to buy some bread to celebrate.

When I arrived at the bread shop, I found they were having a promotion: buy one, get two free.

I bought quite a lot and was very happy on the way back.

When I got to my place, I was going to have a feast.

But as I was eating, I felt a little choked. I ate too fast, and my neck felt uncomfortable.

I struggled for a long time, and finally collapsed.

I couldn't move anymore.

I died.

Lu Shui: "..."

What a horror novel.

Then Lu Shui put away the Nine Hundred Years of Compulsory Education for Godhood, along with the Heaven and Earth Array Patterns.

He felt it was about time to leave.

Only after Lu Shui put away the book did the surrounding mist begin to dissipate. At this moment, True Martial and True Spirit both looked at Lu Shui.

They had no idea what that terrifying aura just now was, and could only hope to get an answer from Lu Shui.

However, Lu Shui didn't even turn his head.

He just stood there quietly.

Was the aura just now related to the young master, or was the young master also startled?

True Martial and True Spirit couldn't be sure for a moment, but it was truly terrifying just now. At first, it was just one-sided pressure, but later, it felt like two incomprehensible powers were clashing invisibly.

Afterward, True Martial and True Spirit didn't think too much about it, but one thing was certain: this place wasn't very safe.

At this moment, Lu Shui started to move.

He didn't plan to stay here any longer. Time was almost up, and if any more problems arose, he worried he wouldn't be able to bear it.

After all, that "god" took away the Twelve-Leaf Green Lotus, and it was hard to say if there would be a chain reaction.

Lu Shui glanced at True Martial and True Spirit, then walked out.

True Martial and True Spirit understood; the young master was worried.

Soon, they followed him out.

En.

Protect the young master and leave.

Old Man Withered Tree, deep within, also frowned:

"The Twelve-Leaf Green Lotus I released was taken by something. Is it a creature from the Wind Frost River?

Was that trace of palpitation caused by the other party?"

Old Man Withered Tree dispersed the mist and saw Lu Shui and them leaving.

He figured that was natural. Faced with such a dangerous aura, even he would choose to avoid its edge. Blindly carrying out punishment wasn't Lu Shui's personality.

Finally, Old Man Withered Tree sighed:

"What a pity. It was rare for a Wind Frost River Spirit Creature to appear, but it wasn't a common harmless spirit creature like the Blazing Sun Fire Fish or the Myriad Law Spirit Crab. Those are great fortunes.

Sigh.

The young master ultimately doesn't have this kind of luck."

In the main hall.

The Third Elder listened to Old Man Withered Tree's report and finally just waved his hand.

Old Man Withered Tree retreated, and the Third Elder leaned back.

He closed his eyes and sighed heavily:

"Forget it."

But a moment later, he opened his eyes and sighed again:

"When will my Lu Family produce a prodigy?"

The Lu Family didn't pay much attention to the anomalies in the Wind Frost River. Lu Shui could tell from the reaction of the person hidden deep within that this was the case.

So, that "god" acting up probably wasn't a one-time thing.

Lu Shui left the Wind Frost River. He wasn't obstructed until he returned to his residence, which indicated that the Third Elder had tacitly agreed to this matter.

Lu Shui breathed a sigh of relief about this.

Upon returning to his residence, Lu Shui sat directly on a chair. As soon as he sat down, his brow furrowed:

"Hiss, it hurts. My whole body feels like it's splitting apart."

He was injured by the cold energy. He might not have felt it at first, but once his body recovered its temperature, he could feel it.

The pain was excruciating.

It hurt much more than his waist injury last time.

"No, I need to get some medicine."

Lu Shui looked outside and felt the road was a bit far. He decided against it and opted to circulate his energy to sleep. It should be much better, and he could get medicine tomorrow.

His cultivation had already reached 2.7, just a step away from the Third Tier.

Under normal circumstances, advancing from the Second Tier to the Third Tier required undergoing a heavenly tribulation.

But he could advance without a heavenly tribulation as long as he absorbed yang-attribute power.

Naturally, he wouldn't undergo a tribulation if he could avoid it.

As for whether not undergoing a tribulation would affect his cultivation strength?

The conventional answer was: yes.

However, Lu Shui was not conventional.

Subsequently, Lu Shui intended to rest, but just as he lay down, the door was opened.

The first person to enter was his mother.

Lu Shui helplessly said, "..."

Why couldn't she just knock?

Even though he didn't want to open it.

As soon as Dongfang Liyin entered, she cast a Healing Spell on Lu Shui, who was lying on the bed.

"Couldn't you cast a Healing Spell on yourself?"

"It's not useful," Lu Shui replied with his eyes closed.

Healing Spells weren't omnipotent, especially Second Tier ones.

Of course, he knew all sorts of Healing Spells, but his Second Tier strength was ultimately insufficient. The cold energy from Wind Frost River had little effect on him.

Dongfang Liyin didn't stop the Healing Spell. She watched Lu Shui and smiled, "Do you want Mother to help you apply the medicine?"

"No, I'm not a child," Lu Shui directly refused.

"Then how about letting the Mu Family Little Girl apply the medicine for you?" Dongfang Liyin suddenly asked.

Her voice carried a hint of a strange smile.

Upon hearing this, Lu Shui was so startled that he sat up immediately, his eyes snapping open.

It wasn't that he was unwilling, it was just horrifying.

Of course, he sat up mainly to look around. He found that besides his mother and his stern-faced Father, there was no one else.

He let out a sigh of relief for no apparent reason.
