Chapter 676: Chapter 676: Martial Emperor’s Shock! He Really Has This Power!

Of course, what Wu Jue Dian narrated were all versions passed down on Xiang Wu Star.

The reason Zhang Mi was given the title of hero is related to a battle at Cloud Abyss Fortress.

"Look at me, my brain isn’t as nimble as it used to be with age. Seeing the arrival of you three, I was so excited I forgot to offer the proper hospitality. My apologies, my apologies."

"How about we change to a different place, to the Martial Emperor Hall, for a chat?"

Seeing that Lin Yi and the others showed no sign of displeasure, he snapped his fingers.

In the next moment, the scenery before their eyes shifted dramatically.

In the blink of an eye, the coordinates for the five of them changed drastically.

As expected, this strongest person on Xiang Wu Star indeed mastered the power of space.

The gilded palace, resplendent with colors, showed off the status and prestige of Wu Jue Dian on Xiang Wu Star.

With a slight flick of his fingers, a precious, elegant cedarwood table slid in front of them.

With another flick, a jug of fine wine and exquisite crystal glasses started moving on their own.

"I was really negligent earlier; this wine is exceptionally delicious though its alcohol is not strong, so it shouldn’t affect anyone, should it?"

Since they were already here, tasting the fine wine from Xiang Wu Star was a must.

With the Great Celestial Immortal Skill to rely on, Lin Yi wasn’t worried at all that the wine contained any dangerous poison.

"Junior Lin Yi, this is Xiyue and Ao Shu. I wonder, why did senior specially invite us to this hall? Is there something you wish to discuss? Or is there something we can help with?"

Straightforward people are welcomed anywhere.

Wu Jue Dian applauded in delight at what was said.

"Young friend Lin Yi, worthy of being a youthful hero with such carefree valor, so much more liberated than I was in my younger days. In that case, I’ll be straightforward."

Since the appearance of Spirit Crystals and skill point source crystals was a first on Xiang Wu Star, whatever Wu Jue Dian said about these items was simply taken as the truth.

The ambition of the Shadow Devourer King is as clear as day to the people of Xiang Wu Star.

Every few days, they send shadow devourer creatures to attack Cloud Abyss Fortress; they never have a moment’s peace.

Yunzhou is one of the four most crucial states on Xiang Wu Star.

The defense here concerns the safety of the entire Xiang Wu Star.

If shadow devourer creatures breach the Yunzhou defense line and secretly target people on Xiang Wu Star, the consequences would be unimaginable.

As their name implies, the shadow devourers feed on the shadows of living beings; the more shadows they devour, the more terrifying their power becomes.

Their movements are extremely elusive.

Being creatures of shadow, they consume shadow as sustenance. They can perfectly conceal themselves in dim places, waiting until prey passes by to launch a thunderous attack.

Like the venomous snake hidden under fallen leaves, extremely lethal.

Except for high-level cultivators from Xiang Wu Star who can detect their presence from faint fluctuations in the aura, ordinary people who react quickly might manage to respond to them. Alas, such ordinary people are too few.

Such troublesome opponents can only be handled by the powerful Dubhe Pavilion.

Disciples of Dubhe Pavilion, who have cultivated the Dubhe Strange Scripture, possess an extremely sensitive perception towards malevolence.

To put it simply, they can directly sense the hidden murderous intent within the opponent’s heart without any action from them.

This special ability poses extreme fatality to shadow devourer creatures which can hide in shadows.

Strong malevolent perception means invisibility skills of shadow creatures are nullified.

The strong body-tempering effects brought by the Dubhe Strange Scripture have made Dubhe Pavilion an irreplaceable part of Xiang Wu Star for a while.

"Oh, but alas, tall trees attract the wind."

"Niece Zhang Yun, Uncle Wu feels deeply sorry. During those times, Uncle Wu was experiencing enlightenment and couldn’t exit seclusion for a while, unable to attend to matters of Cloud Abyss Fortress, which led the shadow devourer tribe to target your father and your senior brothers."

"Like a tree standing out from the forest that surely invites the wind, as Martial Emperor, I should have considered this earlier. It’s my fault."

Wu Jue Dian’s sincerely spoken apology brought Zhang Yun to tears like delicate blossoms under the moonlight.

For Zhang Yun currently, nothing is more important than letting Dubhe Pavilion regain its past glory.

With the approval from the Martial Emperor, Dubhe Pavilion’s return to the summit is only a matter of time.

"These two Spirit Crystals were given to me by Zhang Mi before he died. He had deduced that these items were foreign objects and realized that they would bring immense change to Xiang Wu Star, so he entrusted me to search for them before his death."

"I’ve spent a hundred years scouring every corner of Xiang Wu Star, only to find nothing similar again. Hence, all I could do was wait and guard."

"Waiting for young friend Lin Yi, you to arrive, guarding the people of Xiang Wu Star."

With a righteous and passionate speech, Ao Shu couldn’t resist applauding zealously.

After hearing this, it appears the Martial Emperor is truly an unparalleled protector of his planet’s citizens.

"If my guess is correct, you mean you want to use skill points to master some skill that can counter shadow devourers, correct?"

"But what skill could inflict fatal damage to shadow creatures, could it be that what you want to master is..."

Before Lin Yi finished speaking, Wu Jue Dian nodded solemnly towards him.

"You are right, young friend Lin Yi. What I want to master is the Dubhe Strange Scripture!"

My goodness, what a top-notch genius!

What kind of monster was Zhang Yun’s father, Zhang Mi?

Being from a different planet, Zhang Mi was able to deduce the uses of the Spirit Crystal and skill point source crystal upon receiving them. How clever is that?

Without skill points, Zhang Mi was able to forcibly comprehend and master only a part of the Eight-Nine Mystical Skill and teach it to his disciples, showcasing his genius.

Even things that the strongest on Xiang Wu Star, Wu Jue Dian, couldn’t accomplish!

"Since the decline of Dubhe Pavilion, the battle situation at Cloud Abyss Fortress has worsened day by day, and the warriors’ morale has been dwindling daily. The breaching of the defense line by shadow creatures has become more frequent."

"I, as the Martial Emperor, oh..."

"Now, I dare not hope for anything else. I just wish that young friend you could assist me. Let’s head to Cloud Abyss Fortress together and use the same transformational force on us to create a special array at the fortress, so the citizens may be spared from the harassment of the shadow devourer tribe."

"Wu Jue Dian, hereby thanks young friend."

With that, Wu Jue Dian bowed ninety degrees to Lin Yi.

After a momentary pause, Lin Yi made his decision.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, without throwing bricks, how can you obtain jade, and uncover the truth of the matter?

"Great righteousness of the Martial Emperor! The junior has no reason to refuse indeed."

"However, I have a unique gift to give to Senior Martial Emperor."

With that, Lin Yi grasped the Martial Emperor’s hand.

In the next instant, the Martial Emperor’s eyes widened roundly, filled with disbelief on his face.

The skill point panel that had always shown 0, now turned to 20,000!
