Chapter 514: Chapter 323 Six Paths Flower: Hell Welcomes You_1

"[Damn beast.]"

Emperor Yun cursed Lu Ran silently after hearing his words, calling him a beast in his heart.

Are these even human words?

So you’re getting arrogant because you’ve contracted the Six Paths Flower, huh?

And now you’re letting the Six Paths Flower make you do evil deeds?

Emperor Yun would stake his life on the guarantee that, while the Six Paths Flower might indeed have sent Lu Ran to do evil deeds, it was definitely not just evil deeds.

It had to be a mixture of good and evil deeds.

Generally speaking, doing good deeds is definitely much more difficult than doing evil deeds.

But that doesn’t mean you start by extorting resources from the major Imperial Clans, does it?

This time, Emperor Yun was thoroughly convinced that Lu Ran was unscrupulous.

But from Lu Ran’s perspective, he could only say that this was the most cost-effective way to become stronger.

After all, in a little over twenty days, everything will return to dust, and it would be better to let him take the resources away...

"Don’t even think about it," Emperor Yun said. "With the Elder Six Paths Flower protecting you, it seems I don’t need to worry about your safety anymore."

"Right now, the front lines are rife with conflict, and the people are suffering. I’m sending you to the battlefield."

"Use your strength to help those suffering people, and accumulate merits."

"The military feats you achieve, I will reward you with resources tenfold, to help you grow stronger quickly."

"As my disciple, you must maintain your own bottom line and integrity."

"If one day I see you committing evil, I’ll be the first to not spare you."

"Master, I was just joking..." Lu Ran said helplessly.

In fact, most Trialists entering the Breakthrough Secret Realm never took it as the real world.

They treated it like a game.

Who would care about killing a person or seizing a resource in a game?

While Lu Ran definitely couldn’t bring himself to slaughter the innocent or force himself on women, just bluffing to swindle some resources or accept some tributes still did not give him much psychological pressure, after all, these were the rules of the game.

However, seeing his imperial teacher so serious, Lu Ran also began to reflect on his words.

"Then Master, I’ll go to the front lines in a few days," he said.

At this moment, having successfully contracted the Six Paths Flower, meeting the other National Guardian Beasts no longer mattered.

Lu Ran planned to go to the front lines to train his Pet Beast as Emperor Yun wanted. On one hand, he would multiply his resources through military feats, and on the other hand, hunting Evil Beasts was essentially acquiring resources as well.

Of course, the main reason was that doing good deeds would help nurture his relationship with Little Flower.

Lu Ran planned to, once their bond was strong enough, persuade her to join him in addressing the crisis in the Beast Training Empire and take down the dominators of the Four Great Beast Empires.

The dominators of the Four Great Beast Empires were said to be even stronger than the Black Dragon King.

The components from their bodies were at least World’s Rare Resources.

And for solving them, the Empire’s reward of a few epic resources wouldn’t be too much to ask, right?

In this way, it would indeed be more cost-effective than going around collecting tributes from the major Imperial Clans, and he could also train his Pet Beasts.

"That’s more like it."

Seeing his disciple teachable, Emperor Yun also showed a smile.

However, in the space where Lu Ran had contracted the Six Paths Flower, it once again felt Lu Ran’s malicious thoughts... Although faint, Lu Ran was definitely scheming something.

The Six Paths Flower felt it necessary to discipline Lu Ran properly.

"[Going to the front lines isn’t urgent. It’s too weak right now and would require my protection if it went.]"

"[Instead of that, it’s better for me to train it for a while!]"

The Six Paths Flower said with a tone of displeasure.

Her voice was heard by both Emperor Yun and Lu Ran.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ran was stunned and twitched at the corners of his mouth.

Emperor Yun, on the other hand, was pleased and said, "That would be excellent."

...

Subsequently, both Emperor Yun and Lu Ran left the Space Secret Realm.

Lu Ran returned to Yan Mansion, while Emperor Yun went back to the Imperial Palace with heavy thoughts.

"Why do you look so worried?"

Empress Jiang Ruan saw Yun Hao return and sit down in contemplation, so she brewed a cup of hot tea and brought it over, asking.

"Did the Six Paths Flower detect that Yan Lu has a poor nature?"

"Nobody’s perfect. Since you’ve already decided to take him as your disciple, just slowly guide him onto the right path from now on. That’s what a master should do."

"Ah..." Emperor Yun looked somberly at the Empress and said, "If it were just that, it would still be within my expectations."

"What happened?" The Empress was surprised, wondering if something had exceeded Emperor Yun’s expectations.

"Could it be that the Six Paths Flower really decided to keep that young man from the Yan Family to train?"

"No, it’s my disciple who contracted the Six Paths Flower and took it away."

Empress: ?

"Heh, Your Majesty is now making jokes, I see." The Empress forced a smile, feeling the joke was rather tasteless.

"Do I look like someone who jokes around?" Emperor Yun said seriously as he looked at her. Empress Jiang Ruan, who was also a Legendary Beast Trainer and the daughter of the previous Emperor from the Imperial Clan Jiang, listened intently as Emperor Yun recounted the events in detail. After a moment, the Empress’s mouth also opened slightly, revealing an incredulous expression.

"That’s how it is."

"Not long from now, I will send him to the front lines for training."

"And the thing that’s troubling me now is that Yun Lin has extraordinary talent, I originally wanted to train him to become the next emperor who could command respect, I even sent him to the front line to accumulate military achievements..."

"But with this new development, he has instantly lost any advantage."

Yun Lin, Yun Hao’s eldest son, possessed exceptional talent and was currently leading troops in battle at the front lines. If it were possible to pass the throne to his own progeny, every emperor would undoubtedly hope to do so.

Now, with the emergence of Lu Ran, Emperor Yun felt somewhat vexed.

Because it seemed like Lu Ran had the ability to resolve the Empire’s crisis at any moment.

Moreover, as a Legendary Apostle, Lu Ran’s potential advantage was too overwhelming. His own crown prince, despite all efforts, might not be able to catch up with Lu Ran.

In such a situation, for the future of the Empire, and to follow the edict of The First Emperor, Lu Ran was the best candidate for the next ruler of the Beast Training Empire.

"What do you think?" the Empress asked softly.

"What else can I think? If bequeathing the throne to this disciple is beneficial for the development of the Empire, I will naturally pass it to him."

"It’s not that Lin’er isn’t excellent enough, it’s just that this disciple is too monstrously talented."

"If he really solves the crisis of the Empire, why not let him be the emperor."

After pondering for a while, the Empress said, "You still don’t have the foresight like your daughter. Now that I think about it, if you had followed Little Seven’s suggestion and arranged a marriage, this guy would also be your child by now."

"I..." Emperor Yun felt a stomachache, arranged marriage...

He had never considered this matter, but now he had to admit his daughter’s eye for talent was indeed sharp.

"We’ll talk about it later..."

......

Meanwhile, at Yan Mansion.

After returning, Lu Ran went to visit Master Yan Feng.

"What??!!"

At that moment, upon hearing that Lu Ran intended to go to the front lines for experience, Master Yan Feng was shocked.

"Did Emperor Yun send you?"

Master Yan Feng was furious. Lu Ran had just acknowledged his heritage and not left any progeny yet, and now Emperor Yun wanted him to go to such a dangerous place as the front lines, what was his motive?

He was about to storm into the Imperial Palace to demand an explanation when Lu Ran hurriedly stopped him, saying, "No, it’s Master Emperor Yun who took me to see the Six Paths Flower..."

"The Six Paths Flower—" Master Yan Feng’s expression changed upon hearing this; he had heard of this National Guardian Beast.

Only the Royal Clan and a few legendary powerhouses from the Imperial Clan knew of this National Guardian Beast’s existence.

The Six Paths Flower was an existence even more powerful than the Lava Disaster Beast and had been protecting the Empire for a thousand years.

"It’s the Six Paths Flower who has given me this training mission. If I can perform well on the front lines, it is willing to guide my cultivation."

"I see." Master Yan Feng nodded, but he still found it hard to accept, saying, "But going to the front lines is too dangerous. Please reconsider. With your Flame Spirit, training under the Lava Disaster Beast might suit you better."

"Emperor Yun has said that he will arrange for someone to protect me in secret."

With Lu Ran putting it that way, Master Yan Feng had no choice but to let Lu Ran return, and he immediately turned to consult with the elders of the Yan Family.

However, with Lu Ran’s mind made up, the Flamery definitely couldn’t stop him.

Ultimately, even Lu Ran didn’t know that the Yan Family had made a decision to have Yan Yinying join him at the front lines. Together, sparks of love might fly during the trials.

Right now, though, Lu Ran didn’t have the leisure to bother with these matters, because it seemed the Six Paths Flower was serious about training him.

Lu Ran had only just returned, and the Six Paths Flower had already summoned him.

[Come, let me see your Pet Beasts.]

With that, Lu Ran found himself pulled into an independent space that resembled a Domain.

Protected by his legendary strength, the Six Paths Flower found it difficult to see Lu Ran clearly, but not being able to see someone clearly was very troubling for her.

So, she decided to approach the issue from the perspective of Lu Ran’s Pet Beasts.

A Beast Trainer’s character is often reflected in their Pet Beast’s spirit.

"For real now..." Seeing Little Flower so earnest, Lu Ran scratched his cheek. However, being trained by the Six Paths Flower wasn’t something he considered a loss or waste of time.

After all, she was a level 99 Semi-Legend. Training under her would be immensely beneficial, more valuable than dozens of World’s Rare Resources. Once this opportunity passed, it would be gone.

"Alright then..." Next, Lu Ran summoned his Pet Beasts one by one.

It had been fine before, but as he summoned each one, the Six Paths Flower became even more agitated.

Seeing Mr. Husky for the first time, it stared with an intelligent gaze, full of muddied thoughts.

"Awoo~~ (Can I bite???)" Mr. Husky wanted to flaunt his sword and asked Boss Lu for approval.

"Roar!! (Such powerful aura, I’m going to die suddenly.)" The King of Sudden Death stepped back, clutching his chest.

"Caw!! Is this a new member? So strong! Great, this will accelerate our conquest of the world, cackle!" The Dark Crow danced in the air, laughing eerily.

"Lililili!!! (Little Five!! Little Five!! You have to listen to me from now on!!)" Yun Bao was euphoric not to be the latest member anymore, oblivious to the gravity of the situation.

Initially, the Six Paths Flower had high expectations for the Divine Deer Emissary’s Pet Beasts, but as Lu Ran summoned each one of them, it felt like it had entered a den of thieves.

This was their force to stand against Legends?

A Divine Deer’s Legendary Affiliation, the chosen Human and Pet Beasts, were they really this unreliable???

"Don’t mind them, they’re still children," said Lu Ran. "So, what’s the cultivation content? How about this, let’s train for 18 days. I feel that in another 18 days, I can break through to level 4. Then, we can go to the Four Great Beast Empire for training (King of Evil Beasts, look out for your kidneys)!!"

Three weeks later, the breakthrough task was almost settled.

Having formed a pact with the Six Paths Flower, Lu Ran felt he could definitely advance. He didn’t believe that other Trialists could contract a Legendary Divine Beast.

Lu Ran had everything planned out. Staying in Emperor City a bit longer would be nice, and although he didn’t plan to extort resources anymore, he hoped that those families would be sensible enough to send gifts voluntarily...

Six Paths Flower: "Hell Path, open!"
