Chapter 719: Seeking Gleamstar Water Mission

Ma Qihao's strength had grown greatly recently, and he had reached late third-stage Dragon Ascension Realm. The speed of his growth was, in fact, rather fast. But before Aikai, he was still not strong enough.

After introducing Aikai to Zhuge Zhantian and Ma Qihao, he announced that Aikai would be his guard. He had the two make the announcement public for him. Zhuge Zhantian had not expected that Xiang Shaoyun would actually be able to get such a powerful servant for himself from the Sinister Wind Den. The reverence in his heart grew.

In the past, he had been making use of Xiang Shaoyun's cultivation room to cultivate. But ever since he heard about Xiang Shaoyun killing Di Shang and snatching the Di Alliance's territory, he stopped thinking about that. He no longer dared to use Xiang Shaoyun's cultivation room without permission.

The reason he had been doing so in the past was so he could tell himself that he and Xiang Shaoyun were on equal footing. But with the formidable combat prowess Xiang Shaoyun had shown, his domineeringness was fully displayed. If Zhuge Zhantian continued doing the same, it would be the same as disrespecting his overlord. In the future, he might not be able to even keep his position as butler anymore.

Nobody in the Overlord Legion did not know of Xiang Shaoyun's might. Even in the entirety of the academy, his fame was reaching a level comparable to the top 10 freaks. If it wasn't for his lower cultivation level, he could probably enter the Dragon Phoenix List's top 10 as well.

At the villa, Xiang Shaoyun asked them about the affairs of the Overlord Legion. He learned that recently, the Overlord Legion had been expanding again. They were now comparable to many other top factions in terms of influence.

Apart from that, he also learned that the Di Alliance had been maintaining a low profile. They hadn't even bothered to give the Overlord Legion any trouble. That kind of response put everyone in disbelief.

After all, Xiang Shaoyun had killed Di Shang. It was impossible for Di Lin to not react at all. Xiang Shaoyun had a feeling Di Lin was most certainly scheming a surefire plan.

With Old Winter and Old Summer under my control, no plan you make will remain hidden from me, thought Xiang Shaoyun.

He was no longer afraid of Di Lin. Even if the Ziling Sect people were used, he still had no fear. His current goal was to think of a way to release the Scarlet Flame Monarch. Before this, he wanted to get the gravekeeper elder's help. But the elder had stopped him before he had a chance to ask.

Without the gravekeeper elder's help, he could only rely on himself. But with his strength, how was he supposed to free the Scarlet Flame Monarch?

While he was thinking, Zhuge Zhantian spoke, "Overlord, the academy has recently released a popular mission that many factions have accepted. I am thinking of making our Overlord Legion join in as well. What do you think?"

"Oh? What mission is it to attract so many factions?" Xiang Shaoyun asked in astonishment.

"The academy discovered a place with gleamstar water. Anyone capable of bringing some back will be rewarded 1 million contribution points per drop. Moreover, the gleamstar water is actually a type of high-tier spring water capable of expanding one's star. It is incredibly rare, and our Overlord Legion should not miss out on this," said Zhuge Zhantian.

"There is such a mission? When was it released?" Xiang Shaoyun asked. He finally understood the meaning of Xiao Wei's words.

"It's a recent mission, but it has not officially started yet. In about a month, it will start. The academy seems to have mobilized everyone and would only allow it to start once everyone knows about it. Because of that, the competition will be extremely stiff. Our chances of succeeding won't be too high," said Zhuge Zhantian with a sigh.

From Zhuge Zhantian's tone, Xiang Shaoyun could see that he was filled with both expectation and distress toward the mission.

However, Xiang Shaoyun said with excitement, "Our Overlord Legion will take part in this mission!"

The excitement infected Zhuge Zhantian. "Good. I'll go accept the mission. In any case, strength is not the only thing required to get the gleamstar water. At times, luck can be very important."

"Hehe, of course, luck is important. But how will our Overlord Legion fear others? From now on, announce that the Overlord Legion is still recruiting. It is time for a new round of expansion," said Xiang Shaoyun with elation.

Zhuge Zhantian nodded. "I'll get it done."

He then hurried away. In their current circumstance, the Overlord Legion needed to expand further. In any case, Xiang Shaoyun had sufficient prestige, and nowadays, many people wanted to join them.

Before, Xiang Shaoyun restricted recruitment for the sake of building loyalty. But now, he was confident the new members would no longer dare to try any tricks due to the strength he had displayed.

He then sent Ma Qihao to notify the other members about the mission so they could prepare and gather more information related to the gleamstar water. After leaving Aikai in the villa, he went to the Purple Lightning Pool. He was trying to make use of the final month he had to comprehend the profundity of lightning.

Of the many powers, he used the lightning power the most. It was his strongest power, and he had almost comprehended the profundity of lightning as well. With his past experiences at comprehending the profundity of powers, he smoothly comprehended the profundity of lightning.

Additionally, Money borrowed the Purple Lightning Pool’s environment to advance to third-stage Demon Emperor, and seven days later, Xiang Shaoyun left the Purple Lightning Pool.

He had now comprehended the profundity of earth, gold, darkness, flame, water, wind, and lightning. Only wood and light were missing. He tried using the profundity of the seven powers outside the cultivation zones and found that his speed of gathering natural spiritual energy had significantly increased, even surpassing the speed of someone using a star congregation jade.

He was able to instantly enhance his body with the seven powers at any time, using them to increase his combat strength. Apart from that, his draconic aura had condensed by 27 percent. He was only 3 percent short of reaching 30 percent. Even that was a result of him intentionally suppressing his cultivation.

One ought to know that seven of his stars had been filled to the brim even with constant suppression. After he comprehended the profundity of light and wood, he would be able to break through at one go.

It was soon time for the gleamstar water mission, so he did not have the time to comprehend the two remaining powers. He thus returned to his villa and summoned Shang Jifeng over.

Shang Jifeng had reached peak third-stage and was only a step away from fourth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm. These genius disciples would constantly grow. Hence, his growth was nothing surprising.
