Chapter 1250: Breakthrough
November 17, 2017
With a single move, he directly triggered the fortune of the Six Prefectures, and Lu Hai Kong's actions were no small feat. The commotion it caused was astonishing.
The various lords who were still alive had all grown stronger, and even the weakest among them now controlled the Yizhou region. Each of them could be considered true lords in their own right.
At their level, they had already begun to come into contact with and utilize fortune. Therefore, when Lu Hai Kong made his move, the lords immediately sensed it and could roughly understand his intentions.
Of course, given the current state of the Three Kingdoms world, with the appearance of the Foreign Demons and the subsequent large-scale Beast Tide, the lords had already become more vigilant. Their perspectives on matters had changed, and even if they knew that Lu Hai Kong was up to something, they wouldn't openly speak out. At most, they would observe from a distance, and some didn't even have the time to do that.
Capital Military Camp, Chang'an.
Since the last incident with the Elixir Formula, Dromar had not left his residence for more than half a month. He had been holed up in his mansion, and during this time, his mood had noticeably improved.
Due to his state of mind, after breaking through the hundred mark in strength, the sky over Chang'an seemed to reflect Dromar's mood. When he was angry, the city trembled, and when he was happy, the city rejoiced.
The people of Chang'an, from the high-ranking officials to the commoners, and even the existence that was supposed to be supreme, had their emotions influenced by Dromar.
Over the past half month, the atmosphere in Chang'an had noticeably lightened, and the reason was simple: Dromar had seen hope for Li Ru's resurrection.
Capital Military Camp, Dromar's Mansion, Chang'an.
In the most secure secret chamber of Dromar's mansion, Dromar stared at Li Ru's statue.
For over half a month, Dromar had been fixated on Li Ru's statue. Even though Li Ru remained a statue, and even though he was still enveloped in a formidable demonic aura, Dromar could sense a faint yet noticeable change.
Although the change was subtle, Dromar believed that with persistence, Li Ru truly had a chance at resurrection. Even if it took a long time, it was enough to bring Dromar joy for half a month, as it was the only good news he had received in the past six months!
Dromar had been staring at Li Ru's statue for an unknown duration when suddenly, a deep and powerful voice echoed from outside the secret chamber, "Lord, that gentleman has arrived!"
Hearing these words, Dromar's eyes flashed with determination, and his vitality surged.
"Wenyou, I will definitely bring you back!"
After making this firm promise to Li Ru's statue, Dromar turned and left the secret chamber to meet the so-called gentleman...
...
Ji Province, Juelu County City, on a tall altar, Lu Hai Kong and the Yuwang Bell were still surrounded by fortune.
Activating the Yuwang Bell was no simple task, and even though Lu Hai Kong only had one of the nine bells, it was not an easy feat to activate.
Although the Yuwang Bell had been absorbing fortune for half a day, it still hadn't undergone significant changes. At this rate, it would likely take several more days for the Yuwang Bell to complete its transformation. After all, the fortune Lu Hai Kong had attracted was immense, but it was only the fortune of Juelu, and the fortune of the other five prefectures was still on its way.
The changes on the Yuwang Bell side were minimal, but Lu Hai Kong's transformation was significant. His vital energy had reached its peak, and he was ready to break through at any moment!
Lu Hai Kong had never been one to sit idly by. If his sole purpose was to activate the Yuwang Bell, he wouldn't have immersed himself in the fortune of the six prefectures of Ji Province. The reason he did so was to take advantage of the activation of the Yuwang Bell to achieve his own breakthrough in the Break Hundred Task.
In other words, Lu Hai Kong intended to bypass the system's Break Hundred Task, exploit its loopholes, and take a shortcut to complete the task.
In reality, Lu Hai Kong had been in this world for over eight years. During this time, he had not only achieved feats that even he found astonishing but had also gained a deeper understanding of the system.
One could say that from the very beginning, Lu Hai Kong was aware of the system's loopholes, and there were quite a few of them.
As time passed, with the Three Kingdoms storyline gradually reaching its conclusion and the emergence of the Foreign Demon, the system's flaws became increasingly apparent.
Although the system still demonstrated its power and mystique in certain aspects, it also seemed to be struggling to keep up with the developments.
The increasingly active Break Hundred-level entities, the bizarre Beast Tide, and the powerful breakthroughs on Dromar's side were all situations that should not have occurred previously, but now they had. This implied something significant worth pondering.
Because of this very reason, Lu Hai Kong decided to take a shortcut and embark on a risky venture. He wanted to see if his instant breakthrough, utilizing the activation of the Yuwang Bell, would trigger the system's suppression.
If successful, it would be a significant advantage for Lu Hai Kong, as it meant he wouldn't have to go through the tedious task of entering the Break Hundred Task. After all, even though Lu Hai Kong hadn't attempted the task, he had gathered information about it, and it would take at least three months to complete. Lu Hai Kong didn't have that kind of time.
Apart from saving three months, another significant benefit was that after the breakthrough, Lu Hai Kong could focus on intense cultivation, reaching the next threshold and entering the Jade Gate to enhance his strength.
All signs indicated that the Jade Gate wasn't meant for the Break Hundred Task but for breaking through realms beyond the hundred mark.
Although this was merely Lu Hai Kong's speculation, success would bring him tremendous advantages.
Of course, with the opportunity for success came the possibility of failure, but the cost of failure was relatively minor compared to the rewards of success. As the system's favored child, even if Lu Hai Kong failed, the worst that could happen was being suppressed during the breakthrough, and he could still enter the Jade Gate later to achieve it.
However, the immense benefits and minor risks weren't the real reasons for Lu Hai Kong's venture. He had an inexplicable sense of crisis, especially when Dromar's side encountered unexpected events. Lu Hai Kong felt that his time might not be as abundant as he had imagined.
Three days later, when the fortune of the six prefectures converged, and the Yuwang Bell began to radiate light, Lu Hai Kong, who had been preparing for three days, commenced his breakthrough...
