42: There's another quasi-emperor father

“You better remember this point!”

“Otherwise, what I can bestow upon you, I can also take back.”

“This old servant respectfully remembers Your Highness’s teachings!”

“Your subordinate respectfully remembers Your Highness’s teachings!”

“This maidservant respectfully remembers Your Highness’s teachings!”

Everyone replied respectfully.

Wu Ning smiled, “Of course, if anyone bullies you, don’t tarnish the Prince Yan's Mansion’s prestige.”

“Fight when you should, kill when you should, without any reservations.”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

Afterward, Wu Ning gave Butler Fu another token, which contained even stronger power and could kill a Saint King.

In addition, he also gave Butler Fu a Storage Ring, which contained a top-grade communication Jade Slip, as well as various talismans.

They ranged from first-tier to ninth-tier!

Including Vajra Talismans, Teleportation Talismans, Explosion Talismans, Invisibility Talismans, Healing Talismans, Soul Annihilation Talismans, and various other functional talismans.

These were all made by Wu Ning during his half-year of leisure in Qingyun Holy City.

There were probably tens of thousands of them.

Additionally, when he was bored, he also studied Formation, Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and Puppet creation.

He wasn't overly proficient, but he wasn't too weak either.

Wu Ning thought for a moment and directly set up a large city-protecting Formation that integrated offense and defense across the entire Shangjing City.

It was a Quasi-Emperor-grade Formation he had signed in for at the Qingyun Sect, with a ready-made Formation diagram, making it extremely easy to set up.

Although Shangjing City was large, it was much smaller than the Qingyun Sect, so only a scaled-down version of the Formation was needed.

The scope of the Formation was reduced, but its power was not weakened in the slightest.

Wu Ning used a Quasi-Emperor Weapon as the Formation eye, making it difficult for even a Quasi-Emperor to forcibly break this Formation.

This Quasi-Emperor Weapon, serving as the Formation eye, was placed in the Prince Yan's Mansion, and only a few people authorized by him could barely control it.

Controlling this Formation, even a Supreme could bleed.

“With this, it should be foolproof, right?”

Wu Ning muttered softly.

If even this couldn't protect Butler Fu and the others, then it could only mean it was their fate.

However, to be safe, before leaving, he once again left a protective power within their bodies.

He also gave the same to the relatives of Li Yuanbao and Xu Ziqian.

It could save their lives at critical moments.

After doing all this, Wu Ning departed again.

First, he went to Yangling, and with a palm strike from the sky, he obliterated the Shi family.

Then he returned to Wanxiang Academy.

Li Yuanbao and the other two had successfully entered the Academy to Cultivate.

In just one day, most of the high-ranking officials of the Academy knew about their three 'connected' individuals.

This was something Li Qingxuan personally instructed, so no one below dared to neglect it.

Many high-ranking officials were speculating about the origins of the three, wondering how they could pull strings with a Quasi-Emperor.

Disciples were unlikely; their talents were not enough to warrant a Quasi-Emperor's attention.

Many speculated they were descendants.

Especially since one of the three happened to be surnamed Li.

Although they didn't look much alike, perhaps they took after their mother.

Thus, Li Yuanbao unknowingly gained a Quasi-Emperor father.

The Academy's high-ranking officials were extremely polite to him, and no one dared to neglect him.

Li Yuanbao thought it was because of Wu Ning and inwardly exclaimed that his boss was amazing.

Then he calmly enjoyed it.

Although Xu Ziqian and Zhang Liang noticed a hint of strangeness, they couldn't figure out the reason and didn't think much of it.

Back mountain villa.

Wu Ning's life returned to peace; every day he would fish in the back mountain or collect seafood from the sea.

Occasionally, he would stroll around the Academy or East Sea City.

Then it was about accumulating sign-in chances; if he signed in enough Cultivation, he could directly Breakthrough to the Great Emperor Realm.

Chaotic Source Fluid could increase Cultivation to Breakthrough minor Realms, but for Breakthroughs to major Realms, using signed-in Cultivation had better effects.

...

Time flew by, and three months quickly passed.

By the big river next to the manor in the back mountain.

Wu Ning was lying on a chair, fishing.

Fishing was fun for a while, and continuous fishing was always fun.

He had grown quite fond of this recreational activity.

Originally, Li Qingxuan would occasionally come to fish with him, but half a month ago, they had a fight, and he didn't even last ten rounds before being defeated, after which he plunged into seclusion in a secret chamber and probably wouldn't come out for a while.

In that battle, Wu Ning didn't even use an Emperor Weapon.

He withstood Li Qingxuan's Quasi-Emperor Weapon with his Physical Body, directly beating the old master to death with wild punches.

Wu Ning felt a bit regretful; he still had many powerful moves he hadn't used.

Shaking his head, he grabbed a handful of bait and scattered it into the river, no longer thinking about those things.

Beside him.

A book was arguing with a bird.

“Xiaoqing, you are truly too stupid! After all this time, you still can't Breakthrough to a mere ninth-tier. How can you be qualified to be your master's mount like this? It would be embarrassing to ride you out!”

“Master will definitely become a Supreme existence that shakes the heavens in the future. At the very least, Divine Beast like True Dragon or Kunpeng are barely qualified to be master's mount. Xiaoqing, you are still too weak…”

Ink Treasure chattered incessantly; this guy was like a chatterbox, always having endless things to say.

He sighed, “Forget it, I guess your little brain can't understand what I'm saying, sigh…”

“Xiaohei, I'm going to tell master that you're bullying me!”

The green bird's eyes were red, looking as if it was about to cry.

“Hey, if you can't win an argument, you tattle? That's not fair!”

“You called me stupid…”

“Did I say that?”

“Master…”

The green bird flapped its wings and flew onto Wu Ning, its large eyes staring at him innocently.

“Alright, Xiaoqing is still young. Xiaohei, you should be more accommodating to it in the future.”

Wu Ning gently patted Xiaoqing’s little head and said helplessly to Ink Treasure.

“Master, you’ve changed!”

“You used to call me Xiaobao, but now you call me Xiaohei. As expected, new birds replace old spirits!”

Ink Treasure sighed deeply, feeling a bit wronged.

Wu Ning gave it a roll of his eyes.

Then, he took out a pure white Medicinal Pill the size of a longan, its surface adorned with an ethereal pill aura, emitting a faint, colorful glow.

The green bird's Cultivation was indeed a bit low; this Medicinal Pill was the Nine Revolutions Sacred Pill he had signed in for before, and it should help it Breakthrough to the ninth tier.

“Thank you, Master~”

The green bird joyfully swallowed the Medicinal Pill, then flew onto a tree to lie down and refine its medicinal power.

“Master…”

Seeing that the green bird was Cultivating, Ink Treasure didn't want to disturb it, so it intended to bother Wu Ning.

Wu Ning's eyelids twitched, and he directly put it away.

Then, he opened his System personal panel:

【Name: Wu Ning】

【Cultivation: Quasi-Emperor Perfection】

【Physical Body: Imperishable Golden Body (Minor Achievement)】

【Divine Soul: Void Realm (Peak)】

【Physique: Years Divine Physique】

【Divine Ability: One Glance, Ten Thousand Years (Peak)】

【Weapons: Tai'a Emperor Sword, Giant Spirit Battle Armor, Chaos God Clock】

【Supreme Treasures: black leather book, chaos divine gourd】

【Remaining Sign-in Chances: 103】

Wu Ning smiled, he had over a hundred more sign-in chances.

He planned to use them now, not intending to save them anymore. The priority now was to Breakthrough to the Great Emperor Realm.

Worst case, he could save more after using them all.

He had plenty of time.

“System, give me three daily sign-ins first!”

He seemed to have never signed in at Wanxiang Academy before. This place had once given birth to a Great Emperor, so he should be able to sign in for some useful things.
