Chapter 698: Chapter 697: The Ambition of Two Thousand Emperors
Liu Zheng planned to try his luck with a lottery draw, to see if he could summon any powerful beings.
"I have a total of six chances now, let’s try summoning two characters first."
Fifty Destiny Points were needed for one lottery draw, and he now had enough for six draws.
"System, lottery draw!"
Liu Zheng silently chanted in his mind, and then a vortex appeared in front of him, flowing with an ancient aura.
It seemed as if it had existed since the creation of the world.
Crack!
The vortex slowly opened, and soon a figure could be seen emerging from within it.
However, the aura wasn’t as strong as he had imagined, which immediately made Liu Zheng frown.
Could it be that this character isn’t powerful?
Then a middle-aged man dressed in Qing Shan appeared in front of Liu Zheng.
This wasn’t weak, but it certainly couldn’t compare with those Liu Zheng had summoned before.
This was a cultivator in the mid stages of the Saint Realm.
Though not weak, it wasn’t very strong either.
"Congratulations host, you have drawn an Alchemy Grandmaster, Dan Chen!"
An Alchemy Grandmaster?
Liu Zheng was slightly surprised; he really did lack someone who could perform alchemy.
The Demon God Army might be powerful, but they only knew how to kill; alchemy and forging were out of the question.
Moreover, the Demon God Temple had collected countless materials recently, which had just been sitting unused. Now that Dan Chen had arrived, they could finally be put to use.
"When you think about it that way, it doesn’t seem like such a loss."
"Dan Chen greets the Director!"
Dan Chen bowed respectfully to Liu Zheng.
"What is the highest level of elixir you can concoct?"
"I can concoct anything below Immortal Grade."
Dan Chen said this with evident self-confidence.
Elixirs had their own grades, just like cultivators’ levels.
"You can even concoct Emperor Level elixirs?"
"What a score, ah."
Lights sparkled in Liu Zheng’s eyes. Alchemists who could concoct Emperor Level elixirs were rare even in the Chen Family of the Celestial Realm.
This indicated an alchemist’s talent was terrifying; otherwise, they would not be able to concoct such elixirs at the Saint Realm.
"Someone will take you away shortly and introduce you to our situation. Right now, I only have one task for you, to convert our materials into elixirs as much as possible."
Liu Zheng spoke; although Dan Chen’s realm wasn’t high, he was still very useful.
With the elixirs concocted by him, the Demon God Army could cultivate much faster.
Perhaps, if there was enough time, having two thousand emperors wasn’t just a dream.
Then Liu Zheng called over Luo Ni and briefly introduced Dan Chen before arranging for them to leave.
When Luo Ni heard that Dan Chen could concoct Emperor Level elixirs, she was utterly shocked.
In the Celestial Realm, there weren’t many who could concoct Emperor Level Elixirs.
After making arrangements, Liu Zheng continued with the lottery draw.
"System, continue the lottery draw!"
The vortex reappeared, and a figure emerged directly from within it.
The aura was ordinary, far inferior to Xiang Batian, and even any random one of the two thousand cultivators in the Saint Realm was stronger than him.
"Congratulations host, you have summoned a mid-stage cultivator of the Saint Realm."
Liu Zheng fell silent for a while. A mid-stage cultivator of the Saint Realm was not weak, but since Dan Chen could concoct elixirs, it was unclear what this new character’s specialty was.
Then the cultivator appeared in front of Liu Zheng; indeed, there was nothing special about him, and Liu Zheng had no particular task to assign to him. He simply had him join the Demon God Army.
At that moment, Liu Zheng suddenly remembered that Chen Jin had mentioned to him that he wasn’t far from reaching the Quasi-Emperor level some time ago.
It’s very likely that the breakthrough will happen soon.
If Chen Jin can advance to the Quasi-Emperor level, it would mean a growth in strength for our Demon God Temple.
Afterward, Liu Zheng summoned characters twice more, yet the ones he summoned were not particularly strong.
After these rounds of draws, Liu Zheng finally understood just how lucky his first draw had been.
He had actually drawn an entire army.
If based on the current chances of the draw, would he need two thousand opportunities to draw out two thousand from the Saint Realm?
Thinking of this, Liu Zheng felt relieved, thankful that he had summoned them on the first try.
"It’s better to switch the drawing, continuing like this you never know when it will end."
"System, switch the drawing item."
Liu Zheng whispered.
The familiar scene unfolded again, with the shadow of a jade slip appearing within the vortex.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Soul Control Technique, would you like to extract it?"
Liu Zheng didn’t hesitate, and instantly, profound information entered his mind.
This was a technique created by an emperor who had stunned the world.
After a while, Liu Zheng opened his eyes and said excitedly, "This Soul Control Technique is indeed powerful, a direct strike to the soul, nice."
The more Liu Zheng understood this scripture, the more he realized its terror.
It was a formidable divine ability that could directly target the soul, capable of converting countless beings.
Techniques that strike directly at the soul are rare in this world, and can even modify the information within the soul of a being in an undetectable manner.
The beings with altered souls are unable to notice it themselves, and might even believe that everything Liu Zheng says is correct.
At that time, these beings would be utterly loyal.
What’s most terrifying about the Soul Control Technique is that even if you managed to inspect the soul, you wouldn’t find anything amiss, there’s simply no way to crack it.
Unless Liu Zheng decided to modify it again himself.
In other words, once Liu Zheng modified a being, that being would become his person, and even other powerful individuals would be powerless to change this.
That is the effect of the Soul Control Technique, it must be said to suit Liu Zheng well.
If he subdued the people from other forces, then the entire world would be under the Demon God Temple.
If anything were to happen in this world, Liu Zheng would know immediately.
"Finally, something decent has been drawn."
Liu Zheng had a trace of a smile on his face.
He continued to draw, this time drawing a character again.
The luck was still not bad, drawing an early-stage Quasi-Emperor level powerhouse.
Although the luck wasn’t great, Liu Zheng felt that it was still acceptable.
Next, Liu Zheng ran out of luck value, but now he had a list of many lucky individuals in his hands, and he could continue to hunt them down.
In the Central Region, within a mountain range, a being from the Saint Realm was fleeing through the void.
Then two figures appeared before the Saint Realm being.
Seeing this scene, the complexion of the Saint Realm being changed immediately, "I wonder what brings the two friends from the Demon God Temple here? Has someone paid a price for you two to kill me?"
At this moment, in the entire Star Domain, the last people anyone wanted to see were from the Demon God Temple.
Black armor, black masks, these were the hallmarks of the Demon God Temple.
Once they appeared, it signified that someone was going to fall.
Because of this, nobody - whether they be from the Saint Realm, or even those at the level of a Quasi-Emperor - wanted to encounter individuals from the Demon God Temple.
"There’s no issue, Friend Chen doesn’t need to be nervous."
Liu Zheng, wearing a mask, said with a smile.
"I just have some matters to discuss with Friend Chen."
"What matters?"
Even though he said there was no issue, the sight of someone from the Demon God Temple was disconcerting.
