Chapter 659: Grand Master
The Infinite Spiritual House.
This is a strange world where black and white are interwoven. The white ones are pure stones, and the black ones are grindstones.
Whether it is clean stones or grinding stones, they are divided into high and low grades. Everything here is made up of different clean stones and grinding stones, including mountains, palaces, ferry crossings, and giant sin-eliminating mills.
On the top of a black mountain, there is an independent white palace.
"Huh, I finally became an ancient king."
"Compared to the eldest and Jenny, I am still the slowest among the three. I am so ashamed."
The palace is no longer empty as it was when I first arrived. It has been divided into rooms with different functions, including a meditation room, a practice room, a reception room, and so on.
At this time, Locke, as the chief monk, sat cross-legged in the center of the meditation room.
He had a powerful aura that quickly receded over time, but in the end, there was still some edge that was difficult to retract. This was inevitable, because he had just been promoted to level five not long ago and had not yet adapted to the skyrocketing power.
Locke was not overly happy about the promotion.
If you think about it carefully, the boss is preparing to challenge the sixth-level throne, but you have only jumped to the fifth level. It is really shameful.
"The boss has always been far-sighted, no one can compare with him. Jenny has the legacy support of Mother Earth, so her cultivation is smoother than the boss's. Oh!"
"We should work harder."
"No, I am already a fifth-level Ancient King. According to the rules of the Infinite Spiritual Workshop, my corresponding status should be the Grand Master, and the Grand Master is considered the highest level of the Infinite Spiritual Workshop and can manage an independent area. Tsk tsk."
Locke thought about it carefully, and when he thought of another thing, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he couldn't help but laugh happily.
At this time, he heard noisy sounds coming from outside, which could not even be blocked out by the palace where he lived.
"Somebody come!"
"Fang Zheng, what do you want?"
The door opened by itself, and the two people outside came in at the command.
The two men who came in were one tall and one short, one strong and one thin, and their facial features were 80% similar. They were Locke's most capable men, Martin Casper and Dante Casper.
"Fang Zheng, have you been promoted successfully?"
The tall and thin man is Martin Casper. He asked excitedly after seeing the changes in his boss.
Dante Casper stood at the back with his head down, looking a little dull.
"That's nonsense. Who am I? How could I fail?" Locke said complacently.
"No, that's not what I meant. You were so fast. I didn't expect that."
"What's that noise outside?"
"What's that noise?"
"Didn't you hear that?"
Seeing Martin's confused face, Locke was stunned. He didn't think Martin would lie to him. It was obvious that he really didn't hear it. Then what was going on with the rumbling sound in his ears?
"What about you? Did you hear any sound?" He looked at the other person in the room.
"No." Dante shook his head vigorously.
"Alright, alright, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll go take a look myself and I'll know." Seeing his silly look, Locke simply walked outside.
The two quickly followed behind.
In fact, Martin and Dante were both born in the Danera plane, and had a close relationship with a wizard, who was the former number one in the wizarding world - Caspar Vinton, the King of Blue Thunder.
The King of Blue Thunder died in the conspiracy of traitors and the extreme beast plane in order to protect the wizard world.
Later, after a long period of evolution, the remaining power and obsession of the King of Blue Thunder turned into a spirit. By chance, the spirit changed again and split into two, one was a giant monster and the other was Martin.
The existence of the two was discovered by the Supreme Council, which sent several arcane wizards to track them down.
With Locke's assistance, the ferocious giant monster was trapped and sent to the Wuyin Spiritual House.
Later, Locke came to Wuyin Lingfang and became the real master here. He accidentally discovered that the giant monster was not dead yet. After a series of operations, he took him as his subordinate and named him "Dante Caspar".
Dante and Martin's strength is at the limit of level three, only one step away from the lord level.
Both of them were members of the Black Star Army. According to Locke’s estimation, once he became the Ancient King, it was a foregone conclusion that both of them would be promoted to Lords.
"Locke, your strength——"
"Captain Wu Laifang, I am lucky to have made one more step forward."
“You are really amazing.”
The three of them walked all the way to the ferry below, which looked like a small square. Just as they were about to look down at the mountain from the edge of the ferry to find out what was going on, Chief Wu Laifang, who was in charge of this area, appeared.
Director Wu Laifang noticed the change in Locke at a glance. His expression became a little unnatural, and his words were a little inconsistent with his heart.
He didn't expect that Locke would be promoted to Ancient King as he said, and it would take such a short time.
"I heard some strange noises, so I came here to take a look to see if anyone was planning to take over my Wuyin Lingfang." Locke pushed aside the barrier at the edge, revealing the scenery on the other side.
There are huge, wide and heavy millstones standing in rows, and under the giant millstones are sinful spirits that are constantly being crushed, with screams coming one after another.
Each giant sin-eliminating mill represents an independent area and corresponds to a chief monk.
At this moment, a new sin-eliminating mill was condensing, and a wonderful sound was emitted from it.
"Haha, who would dare to plot against Wuyin Lingfang? That would be like asking for death." Wu Lai didn't know if he really didn't know or was pretending not to know. After adjusting his mood, he smiled and explained:
"Brother Locke, speaking of this, it is closely related to you. Look over there. That will be your territory from now on."
"Really? So that's it."
Locke had a look of enlightenment on his face, but he couldn't suppress his joy in his heart.
Standing here, he could clearly sense that he did have a vague connection with the new area, and he could also sense that the plane itself was changing and evolving for the better.
"Brother Locke, don't be in a hurry. It will take some time for the new area to evolve. Today, you have a big happy event. I will definitely celebrate for you. Please come this way."
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Wu Laifang."
"You are about to become a great ward master, so it's time to change your title. From now on, you and I will call each other brothers."
"Isn't this bad?"
"Very good, it's decided."
At Woolley's enthusiastic invitation, Locke had no choice but to go with him.
The two men walked all the way to Wu Lai's residence, which was located at the highest point of the mountain. It was much more spacious than Locke's own and was surrounded by barriers, so you couldn't see inside the barriers from the outside.
Wu Lai made a grand ceremony, with the table filled with delicious food and wine, and beautiful girls singing and dancing.
"Brother Locke, tell me the truth, how does your brother treat you on a daily basis?" After three rounds of drinks, Wu Lai yelled under the influence of alcohol.
"Of course that's great. When I first arrived at Wuyin Lingfang, it was my brother who personally pulled me up step by step. He was also very tolerant and helpful afterwards. Locke has always been grateful to him, but he has never found a chance to repay me."
Locke said sincerely.
Over the years, the two of them have indeed gotten along well. Wu Lai never meddles in other people's affairs, nor does he make things difficult for others, while Locke carries out his tasks efficiently and effectively, and neither of them makes things difficult for the other.
"Haha, I knew you were a grateful person. If I need your help in the future, I hope you won't forget what I said today."
Woolley was satisfied with his answer and continued meaningfully.
"Of course, just wait and see, brother." Locke was not vague, and the two of them had a very pleasant conversation at the party.
Time flies, and two months pass by in a flash.
During this period, Locke adapted to the power of the ancient king level, and the giant sin-eliminating mill added by the Wuyin Spiritual House was also condensed, and a whole new area appeared.
One day, he felt a strong calling and immediately went down the mountain with his left and right bodyguards.
"I was wrong. I will never do evil again."
"I deserve to die. Let me die."
“Ah—it hurts—damn it—asshole—it hurts!”
"Sir, save me. I am willing to work like a slave for you. I can do anything for you. Please save me."
At the foot of the mountain, all kinds of ghostly howling sounds could be heard, all coming from underneath the rolling sin-eliminating mill.
Hearing the sound, the others turned a blind eye, but Dante kept shivering all the way. He had experienced it himself and would never forget the feeling. Otherwise, with his fierce character, he would not surrender easily even if his strength was greatly reduced.
"Stop shaking." Martin felt a little embarrassed.
"I-I can't help it." Dante had a sad face, he really couldn't control himself.
"You're useless." Martin cursed angrily.
Originally, the two had a tenuous relationship, and after all these years of deepening, it gradually evolved into a 'two-in-one' relationship, where each other prospers and suffers together.
Under Locke's leadership, the three of them moved forward and arrived at the new area on the other side.
In fact, the layout of the entire Wuyin Lingfang is simple and clear. In the middle is the giant sin-killing mill as the core area, and on the outside are the peaks and mountains surrounding the world. In the middle is the judgment of the sinful spirits, and on the outside are the living, working and practicing areas.
"Would you like to come with me and take a closer look?"
"want."
"No."
There was no spirit of sin under the newly condensed sin-eliminating mill, and its rotation speed was abnormally slow. Locke sensed an impatient call from above, and spoke to the two men behind him.
The two people's answers were completely opposite. Dante shook his head violently, with fear written all over his face.
"No future," Martin muttered.
"You have a lot of potential, hurry up and keep up, don't let your legs go weak later."
"How can that be possible? I'm not that useless."
Locke did not force Dante and quickly approached the Crime-Extinguishing Mill. Seeing this, Martin immediately followed closely behind.
The Sin-Extinguishing Mill is only slightly shorter than the surrounding mountains, but in terms of thickness and heaviness, it is far heavier than the mountains.
The two men could feel the pressure coming from above, as if the next moment, a huge mill would crush them to pieces.
"Can I regret it?"
Martin's experience was particularly strong. He looked at Locke and found that he looked calm. Then he realized that he was the only one suffering from the crime. He couldn't help but feel regretful. He thought he shouldn't be so curious.
"It's too late. If you quit, I will have to go to the bottom of the Crime-Extermination Mill to rescue people, which is a waste of time." Locke said.
Hearing this, Martin had a look of helplessness on his face and could only follow closely behind. However, his heart was in turmoil due to the oppressive pressure around him and he couldn't calm down for a moment.
It would be terrible if they were really crushed. No wonder those sinful spirits cried so miserably.
Locke waved his left and right hands, and a small sin-killing grindstone appeared on the left, and a white book emerged on the right.
These two rare treasures were condensed from two of the four secret arts of the "Heavenly Code of Sin-Eradication" that he practiced. The former is a ground mill filled with the power of sin-eliminating.
The latter is the Judgment Purification Code, which contains rich purification power and superb ability to see through spirits.
If we judge the grade by comparing it with the Force artifacts, like the Grinder Bracelet, the Sin-Exterminating Earth Grinder and the Judgment Purification Codex are both mid-grade semi-Force artifacts with extraordinary quality.
"Hehe, thank you, Grand Master."
"Keep a low profile. You haven't really been promoted yet."
With the protection given by Locke, Martin suddenly felt much more relaxed.
Soon, the two of them arrived near the crime-killing mill. Boundless pressure came, making it hard to breathe. Martin realized that he was happy too early.
Locke had no time to pay attention to Martin.
He first threw the Sin-eliminating Earth Mill on the left forward, so that it could merge with the Sin-eliminating Giant Mill in front and blend with each other. As time passed, his connection with this Sin-eliminating Giant Mill became deeper and deeper.
After a while, he pushed the Judgment and Purification Book on the right over and printed it on the outside of the giant millstone that could eliminate sins.
After most of the day, Locke first took back the Judgment Purification Book, and then retrieved the Sin-Extermination Ground Mill. After this procedure, he became a full-fledged head of the monastery, and his status was the same as Wu Lai.
"Your legs are weak."
"Master, you tricked me."
"This abbot is not that bored. I asked you to come here to test the changes in the Judgment Code. Look at it, written in black and white. The information about you is reflected in great detail."
After the fusion just now, the power of Locke's Judgment Purification Book has been greatly enhanced.
But it is nothing compared to the changes in the Sin-Eradication Earth Mill. The Sin-Eradication Earth Mill has been directly upgraded to a small level, equivalent to a top-grade semi-force treasure.
After Martin, who was slumped on the ground, regained shelter, he stood up and began to urge Locke to leave.
Seeing that he was frightened, Locke followed his wish and the two of them walked quickly outside. After leaving the coverage of the giant mill, the Crime-Exterminating Mill began to roll faster.
"Dante, dear brother, I misunderstood you before. I apologize."
As soon as he walked out, Martin ran away with lingering fear and came to Dante who was close to the outside. He secretly swore in his heart that he would never go under that thing before he became the chief monk. It was really too scary.
Dante looked at him in confusion.
Locke ignored the two of them. After officially taking over the position of chief, he received some important messages, one of which was particularly crucial.
It turns out that after gathering nine grand boudoir masters, Wuyin Lingfang will start the election for the boudoir master. There is no doubt that the position of boudoir master is higher than that of grand boudoir master.
According to the situation of Wuyin Lingfang, the master of this world is likely to be the agent of the great will, and can be said to be second only to one person and above ten thousand people.
Being the master of the Fang world and ruling over the Wuyin Lingfang, just thinking about it makes people excited.
'That's what Brother Woolley meant.'
"Forgive me for my words. I am grateful, and I can handle other matters, but I cannot give up the position of the Lord of the Fang World."
Locke also understood what Wu Lai meant and couldn't help but laugh.
Some small favors in the past made him give up the fight for the master of a world. Yongyun was inferior to the other party. It can only be said that the other party thought too much.
There were originally five of the nine ward heads, and he himself was the sixth.
There are still three missing.
Thinking of this, an idea came to Locke's mind. Could he use the convenience of 'Three Lives of All Things' to train his left and right guardians into great monks?
In this way, he would have two die-hard supporters and his chances of winning would increase greatly.
"It doesn't seem to work. According to the rule of Three Gives Birth to All Things, they can only become lords when I am an ancient king. I have to break through the sixth level before they can become ancient kings."
"Just because I can't help you doesn't mean you don't have any. This is a great opportunity. I'll go back and ask you."
'The boss must be interested in the master of the Wuyin Lingfang, but he is about to attack the throne, I don't know if he has extra time. ' (End of this chapter)
