System: "Ah, master, I'm so touched"
"Come!"
The system spoke.
"Yo."
Lu Changzhi smiled:
"What, so generous?"
"Of course," the system replied.
"Since the disciples have made their wishes, how can there be any reason for the Master not to grant them?"
Lu Changzhi nodded in deep agreement:
"You're right."
"Since you're so generous, I can rest assured."
After a moment's hesitation, Lu Changzhi immediately spoke:
"System, raise my cultivation level, hmm..."
"Full power!"
The system did not respond immediately after the words were spoken.
Lu Changzhi was not in a hurry; he simply waited Jingjing for the fever to appear.
About two breaths later.
The scenery around Lu Changzhi began to change.
In an instant, it was as if I had entered a new world, dreamlike and fantastical, beautiful and bizarre.
"The feeling of going all out is surprisingly unique?"
Lu Changzhi murmured softly, quite surprised.
This was something he hadn't expected.
This continued for about ten breaths.
The image flashed and disappeared, replaced by a golden thumbs-up icon standing upright in front of you.
Below the image, there is a line of text:
The Master Not Inferior to Disciple. As a master, he is indeed much better than the disciple imagined. Thumbs up for the master!
"Um?!"
Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow:
"System, your sarcastic tone is getting a bit too obvious!"
"No, no, there isn't."
The system voice was very serious:
"Master, as you know, making a wish is one thing, whether it comes true or not is another. Only wishes that come true consume a wish's chance."
Lu Changzhi gently shook his head:
"I have no idea."
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of introductions about wishing appeared before Lu Changzhi's eyes.
"So many restrictions?"
Lu Changzhi glanced at it only once before speaking.
"Not much, Master," the system said.
"The restrictions on disciple Gu Chen are at least twice as many as this."
"Really."
Lu Changzhi said softly:
"Then let's make a simpler wish."
"Don't max it out yet, just aim for the Emperor Realm."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Changzhi waited to see what was happening.
However, this time, the same scene did not change as before. Instead, after about two breaths of silence, the system spoke:
"Master, are you sure you want to enter the Emperor Realm?"
"How?"
Lu Changzhi asked:
Judging from your reaction, it doesn't seem like it's impossible, does it?
"Of course it's not impossible."
The system said:
"But there are some things to consider."
Tell me?
"Does Master intend to take the Emperor Road?" the system asked.
Lu Changzhi nodded:
"Right."
Ancestor Liang Si once mentioned that he would understand many things after he completed his Emperor Road.
Of course, he could sense that Ancestor Liang was just making empty promises to him.
However, he was actually quite interested in things like the Emperor Road.
"So, you're saying there's a conflict between the two?" Lu Changzhi asked.
"Yes, Master." the system said.
"The Emperor Road exists only for cultivators below the Emperor Realm. Currently, cultivators at the Emperor Road Emperor Realm cannot perceive, observe, or enter it."
"So unique?" Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow:
"Could that be simplified to being able to sense, observe, and enter?"
"Huh?!" the system exclaimed, then fell silent.
"Master, yes, but..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Changzhi waved his hand and said:
"I understand, you don't really want to do this job."
"Of course not," the system immediately explained.
"It's simply because the matter of the Emperor Road is extremely important to some of the master's plans."
After a pause, the system added:
"Of course, it is indeed somewhat troublesome. Master's Five Elements Sacred Physique has not improved at all. If he enters the Emperor Realm under such circumstances, it is equivalent to skipping too much. It will be much more troublesome to make up for it later."
"If we were to upload them all at once, well, that would indeed be quite troublesome."
After listening to the system's explanation, Lu Changzhi pondered for a moment and said:
"You mean the master's scheme? I don't think I've been planning anything, so where did this come from?"
He was quite aware of his recent situation, summed up in two words: Buddhist-like.
This clearly has nothing to do with planning.
"Let's put it another way."
The system said:
"It was a conspiracy orchestrated against the master."
"Who is behind this?" Lu Changzhi asked.
The system was silent for a moment, then said:
"Your parents, who are three parts familiar and seven parts unfamiliar."
"You know that?" Lu Changzhi's expression shifted.
"It seems you've been hiding quite a bit, System."
"Ahem." The system spoke:
"No, Master, but some things are indeed not suitable to know too early."
Lu Changzhi nodded, but didn't ask any further questions.
"So, the matter of the Emperor Road is indeed quite important, isn't it?"
"Yes," the system replied.
"According to you, directly wishing to enter the Emperor Realm is a bit like forcing growth?"
"Yes, Master."
"Understood." Lu Changzhi nodded.
"Then let's change our wish." After thinking for a moment, Lu Changzhi said:
"The Power of Time, how so?"
"Whether a wish can be made depends on its owner." The system praised sincerely.
"This is a big job."
"So, you mean it's possible?" A slight smile appeared on Lu Changzhi's lips.
"We can get some, which could open up an opportunity for our master, but whether he can seize it truly depends on him."
The system said:
Time is swift and unpredictable; though the whip may be long, it cannot reach you.
Lu Changzhi pondered for a moment:
"If that's the case, this job certainly doesn't seem easy. I'll make a different wish then."
Time and space, although often grouped together as spacetime, are not actually things of the same dimension.
The idea of mastering space and distorting space is something I've heard about since I first started cultivating.
But he had never even heard of the concept of timing if it weren't for that Resurrection Coin.
Moreover, judging from the system's statement, if I make a wish, I'll probably still need the system's help.
After all, they'd been together for so long. Treating the system like a leek to be harvested was something Lu Changzhi, though not entirely heartless, still considered.
However, no sooner had Lu Changzhi finished speaking than the system exclaimed in an exaggerated tone:
"Ah, Master, I'm so touched."
Lu Changzhi's expression was strange:
"What, are you touched that I'm thinking of you?"
"No, no, no," the system immediately replied.
"Finally, a way to move people has worked; it softened the owner's heart."
Lu Changzhi: "..."
"I'm sorry."
Lu Changzhi shook his head:
"It didn't work, but keep trying to achieve this goal."
"OK."
The system didn't try to negotiate, but instead said:
However, there are two other things to consider.
"Explain."
"One item is the path to fulfilling this wish, which I will show to the master later."
"The other thing is that I need the Dao-Severing Sword Spirit to help me with this, and it will probably take some time."
