The Zhou family, one of the eight great families of the Great Hua Dynasty.
Zhou Hong, the head of the Zhou family, was sitting upright in a spacious and quiet room, his eyes closed, completely absorbed in cultivation. A faint light emanated from his body.
As time went by, the spiritual energy around Zhou Hong became increasingly dense and intense, as if it were being drawn together by an invisible force.
These spiritual energies gradually condensed and took shape, slowly forming layer upon layer of flowing, wave-like matter. They flowed and circulated within Zhou Hong's body, endlessly and continuously.
"This is truly unexpected! The Lightning Strike is so powerful; just cultivating the first volume has transformed the ordinary spiritual energy within my body into spiritual power."
Zhou Hong slightly opened his eyes and muttered to himself. His face was full of surprise and delight, clearly very satisfied with the progress he had made.
Immediately afterwards, he clearly felt a surging and inexhaustible power surging out from his limbs and bones, quickly spreading to every corner of his body.
This unprecedented sense of fulfillment and power made him throw his head back and laugh out loud, the sound deafening and echoing throughout the room.
However, just as Zhou Hong was laughing heartily, he suddenly heard a soft but urgent knock on the door. He composed himself slightly, took a deep breath, and calmly said, "Come in."
As soon as the words were spoken, the door was gently pushed open, and three people walked in. Their steps were steady and light, and their movements revealed a unique temperament and style.
Upon seeing Zhou Hong, the three men immediately knelt down, bowed respectfully, and shouted in unison, "Greetings, Lord Zhou!"
Zhou Hong looked closely and realized that the three people in front of him were all his trusted subordinates.
Moreover, these three individuals possess extraordinary strength, with extremely profound spiritual energy fluctuations within their bodies, clearly indicating that they are among the top experts.
Looking at the three kneeling on the ground, Zhou Hong smiled kindly and waved his hand gently, saying, "No need for formalities, please get up."
With Zhou Hong's permission, the three men stood up, but remained standing with their hands at their sides, displaying a very humble attitude. One of them looked up at Zhou Hong and cautiously asked, "What makes you so happy today, sir?"
These three men had been following Zhou Hong for over twenty years and knew their master's temperament and character intimately. Therefore, seeing Zhou Hong's obvious delight...
When facing the three people in front of him, Zhou Hong held nothing back.
After all, over the past two decades, these three individuals had risked their lives to save him from danger on numerous occasions, even nearly losing their own lives in the process. Thinking of this, Zhou Hong unhesitatingly released the powerful spiritual energy within his body.
"God-level?" one of them exclaimed, his eyes wide with astonishment.
"My lord, you have actually reached the level of a god!" another person exclaimed in surprise.
One of them couldn't help but ask, "Just a few months ago, you were only at the fifth level of the Saint rank, but now you have suddenly soared to the legendary God rank. What exactly happened?"
Looking at the three faces in front of him, filled with curiosity and disbelief, Zhou Hong took a deep breath and said slowly, "Since there's nothing I need to hide from you, I'll just tell you the truth."
"Actually, all of this was bestowed upon me by my master. Not only that, my master also gave me some incomparably precious elixirs and instructed me to find some trustworthy people and give these elixirs to them." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Hong stared intently at the three people in front of him.
Then, the three exchanged glances, as if conveying some kind of tacit understanding through their eyes.
Immediately afterwards, they knelt down again in unison and said in unison, "We are willing to be loyal to you for life and follow you to the death!" Their voices were loud and firm, echoing in the air for a long time.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Hong quickly stepped forward and gently helped the three of them up with both hands.
With a smile, he took out an exquisite jade bottle from his robes, gently opened the cap, and a rich medicinal fragrance immediately filled the air. He solemnly said, "This is the Spirit Cultivation Pill, an extremely precious elixir. There are three here; each of you take two and consume them quickly. Within three days, you will surely break through your bottlenecks and advance to the ranks of Saint-level experts!"
Upon hearing this, all three wore expressions of disbelief.
You should know that after three or four decades of hard work and day and night cultivation, they have only just reached the level of a seventh or eighth-level Heavenly Realm expert.
These mere two Spirit Cultivation Pills were able to allow them to cross such a huge gap in just three nights, directly advancing them to the Heavenly Rank, a position coveted by countless martial artists? This is truly beyond imagination!
For a moment, their hearts were filled with endless curiosity and awe for this complete stranger. What kind of person could possess such a wondrous treasure and such extraordinary abilities?
At that very moment, Zhou Hong asked with a puzzled look, "By the way, what brings you here to see me?"
The three men exchanged glances, and then one of them stepped forward, clasped his hands in a salute, and replied with a solemn expression, "My lord, important news has just arrived from the palace: His Majesty... has passed away."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Hong's expression changed drastically, his face filled with disbelief. He exclaimed in shock, "What! The King is dead!"
He never expected to hear such shocking news and stood there stunned for a moment.
