Chapter 834: Chapter 293: Fang Muâs Dao Protector!_2
Fang Mu smiled upon hearing this, grateful that Fang Yuan was willing to hand over the reign of power and no longer micromanage every affair.
It showed Fang Yuan had indeed come to an understanding.
Lately, Jiang Weng had been dedicating himself to the research of that special piece of spatial equipment, so Fang Mu didnât need Jiang Weng for the time being.
Why not let Jiang Weng stay in The Capital to help Fang Yuan and Yan Wood custom-make spiritual instruments!
Since Yan Wood had become a disciple of the Grandmaster Creator Yi Han, Yi Han would take care of the matters related to the spiritual instruments.
Yi Han was soon to become a Grandmaster Creator under his command, Fang Mu didnât need Yi Han to handle any tasks for him.
The only way Yi Han could prove his worth was through cultivating Yan Wood.
During the meal, Fang Mu had finalized all arrangements with Fang Qin and Fang Yuan.
Back in his room, Fang Mu didnât rush to enter the abdominal space of the Abdominal Territory Worm to cultivate the Guardian Beast known as the Blood Brewing Grapevine.
Instead, he made a call to Shu Liangjun.
Fang Yuan had provided Shu Liangjun with the phone number for the Dragon Rising Federation after his arrival in The Capital.
Fang Mu was the only person who knew Shu Liangjunâs telephone number.
The phone rang twice before Shu Liangjun picked it up.
âAh Mu, you finally remembered to call me!â
âIâm currently enjoying the hot springs, and the hot springs here in The Capital are no less wonderful than those in Lu City!â
âAt my age, soaking in the hot springs feels like it rejuvenates my whole body!â
Fang Mu laughed upon hearing this and said,
âElder Shu, youâre not old at all, you still have a thousand years ahead of you!â
âDonât mention the manors in Lu City and The Capital, the hot springs at the Mountain Manor in JA City are even better!â
âWhen you return to JA with me, if you like, you can soak in them every day!â
Upon hearing Fang Muâs words, Shu Liangjunâs expression stiffened for a moment; he had spoken about his age spontaneously.
Despite Fang Mu extending his lifespan, the reality of Shu Liangjunâs physical condition remained undeniable.
Yet, Fang Mu claimed he wasnât old and had thousands of years of good life ahead.
Such words were tantamount to a promise made by Fang Mu to Shu Liangjun.
Fang Mu must have already communicated with Qixing, because with Shu Liangjunâs understanding of Fang Mu, Fang Mu would never make such grand promises lightly.
It appeared that Qixing had agreed to Shu Liangjun becoming Fang Muâs Dao Protector, hence such benefits for him.
Shu Liangjun becoming Fang Muâs Dao Protector stemmed from a deep affinity he felt with Fang Mu and not from seeking benefits.
Because of this mindset, Shu Liangjun felt especially delighted at this moment.
Qixing wouldnât offer benefits without good reason; it seemed this favor was mostly secured by Fang Mu himself.
âHaha, I will be blessed then!â
âI will come back, and after becoming your Dao Protector, your spiritual power will be impacted by mine, allowing it to rapidly improve within a short period.â
After hanging up the phone, Fang Mu waited quietly in his room for Shu Liangjun.
With Shu Liangjunâs capabilities, it wouldnât take more than three seconds for him to teleport into his room.
Indeed, as Fang Mu had expected, Shu Liangjun, holding a Silver Mirror, appeared before him within a minute.
Before Shu Liangjun had a chance to greet Fang Mu, he pointed his finger at Fang Muâs forehead.
âLittle Wood, Iâve lived my life without children, always a solitary person, except these useless subordinates.â
âFrom now on, please educate this old man a lot!â
Following his words, a surge of dense spiritual power and Soul Energy emanated from Shu Liangjunâs fingertip, shooting into Fang Muâs brain.
This wave of spiritual power and Soul Energy didnât cause any negative effects on Fang Mu, but instead, it imprinted a mark in his Soul.
This Soul Energy and spiritual power were now revitalizing Fang Muâs soul and spirit through the mark.
Fang Mu could indeed feel that his spiritual power was improving faster than before.
This discovery greatly surprised Fang Mu.
Through the Soul Mark, Fang Mu found he could directly communicate with Shu Liangjun!
Shu Liangjunâs face was somewhat pale, as if the prior actions had drained him greatly.
Shu Liangjun used his left hand to steady himself on the table as he sat down.
âAh Mu, you should be quite familiar with Dao Protectors. I could become your Dao Protector, all thanks to your teacherâs trust in me!â
Fang Mu did not pretend to understand when he did not, especially in front of Shu Liangjun, there was no need for such pretenses.
âElder Shu, I have not been a disciple of my master for long and do not really understand Dao Protectors.â
âI hope you can help me clear up my doubts!â
Although Shu Liangjun was somewhat surprised by his words, he felt it made sense.
Qixingâs expectations of Fang Mu were primarily focused on his education as a Creator.
They had secretly dispatched experts to protect Fang Mu but had not mentioned the news of Dao Protectors to him.
Shu Liangjun said to Fang Mu.
âI have already spoken to you about the relationship between Dao Protectors and Guardians.â
âNow, let me tell you about the Dao Protector Mark I placed in your soul.â
âThe emergence of Dao Protectors was due to several Grandmaster Creators studying the contracts between humans and Guardian Beasts, discovering the soul circuit between Beast Masters and Guardian Beasts.â
âThen they studied the soul circuit between Beast Masters and Guardian Beasts but could not grasp the nature of the soul circuit between them. Instead, they accidentally created a new type of soul circuit.â
âThis type of soul circuit is the Dao Protector Mark!â
âIn the soul circuit between Beast Masters and Guardian Beasts, the Beast Master takes the lead, while in the soul circuit between Dao Protectors and Guardians, the opposite is true.â
âThe Guardian takes the dominant position!â
âIf you do not want me to be your Dao Protector, you only need to use your Soul Power to cover my Soul Mark.â
âIn two daysâ time, my Dao Protector Mark will completely disappear, and the energy contained within will transform into nourishment for your soul.â
âWe can communicate directly through the soul via the Dao Protector Mark.â
âWhen the Guardian encounters danger, other Dao Protectors might not be able to reach the Guardianâs side immediately, but my ability can do this!â
Fang Mu completely understood what a Dao Protector was upon hearing these words.
The relationship between Dao Protectors and Guardians is extremely unequal, explaining why only offspring of great powers have Dao Protectors.
With the status of Dao Protector, Fang Mu became, apart from his own family, the most trustworthy person in the world to Fang Mu!
âElder Shu, it looks like I will have to trouble you a lot from now on!â
Upon hearing this, Shu Liangjun hurriedly waved his hand.
âAh Mu, whatâs this talk of trouble? If it wasnât for your old man, I would have already become a skeleton by now.â
âIf, as you say, I still have thousands of years of good life, then you are the greatest benefactor of my life!â
Fang Mu smiled at these words.
âElder Shu, you should be well aware that I am not one for empty boasts.â
As he said this, Fang Mu changed the topic and asked Shu Liangjun.
âElder Shu, as an Order Strong, what level of resources do you typically need?â
Shu Liangjun was quite candid with Fang Mu.
âAt this level of Order, itâs not something a Grandmaster Creator can enhance anymore!â
âUnless a Saint Creator concocts resources to assist, one has to rely on oneâs own fortune.â
âThis is exactly why Han Ming from the Ten-thousand Nations Federation has so many followers.â
âMany Order Strongs communicate privately with Han Ming, hoping to get an opportunity for advancement from him.â
âItâs just unfortunate that Han Ming is quite arrogant and difficult to reach.â
âAside from those Order Strongs who have sworn allegiance to him, he does not release resources from the Saint Creator to others!â
âNow that the news of Eternal Mother Yongle becoming a Saint Creator has spread from the Bliss Palace, many Order Strongs have been actively contacting her.â
âEven those who have pledged allegiance to Han Ming are not giving up on the opportunity to connect with Eternal Mother Yongle.â
âThis is why, after avoiding the world for over two hundred years, Bliss Palace could immediately contend with the Ten-thousand Nations Federation upon reemerging!â
âThe conflict between the Ten-thousand Nations Federation and Bliss Palace is essentially a confrontation between two Saint Creators, and it wonât cease in the near future!â
