Lord in the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 37: The Book of Mystical Escapes

After searching the entire room, he couldn’t find Zuo Ci, leaving him feeling greatly frustrated.

At that moment, Long Chen’s starry eyes twinkled as he muttered to himself, ’What is this?’

Underneath the pillow lay an ancient pitch-black book emitting a mysterious dark light, accompanied by a golden pill, about the size of a longan fruit.

The ancient book was incredibly eerie and enigmatic, seeming almost like a dark art artifact.

On it were four prominent characters, all written in seal script.

’The Book of Mystical Escapes.’

Driven by curiosity, Long Chen gradually started perusing it. The book contained a myriad of knowledge, mystical and extraordinary, much of it beyond Long Chen’s comprehension.

However, ’The Book of Mystical Escapes’ was mainly divided into three parts: ’Heavenly Escape,’ ’Earthly Escape,’ and ’Human Escape.’

’Ding! Detected SSS-tier Divine Technique. Would you like to learn?’ A cold metallic voice echoed in Long Chen’s mind.

SSS-tier Divine Technique?! Without hesitation, he eagerly accepted! He had been holding off learning other techniques in search of the most suitable divine skill. Now, under this fortuitous encounter with Immortal Zuo Ci, he obtained this SSS-tier Divine Technique!

What incredible fortune!

’Confirmed! Learning SSS-tier Divine Technique...’

Suddenly, Long Chen felt his mind forcefully flooded with fragments of various knowledge, leaving him dizzy and disoriented!

Accompanied by intense pain, his body also experienced a surge in strength.

’Ding! ’Earthly Escape’ yield activated. Maximum Strength +25. Current maximum: 105.’

’Ding! ’Heavenly Escape’ yield activated. Maximum Strategy +25. Current maximum: 95.’

’Ding! ’Human Escape’ yield activated. Maximum Internal Affairs +25. Current maximum: 95.’

This incredible breakthrough! Indeed, an SSS-tier Divine Technique directly pushed his physical limits so significantly. His potential now seemed as unfathomable as the deep sea!

’Ding! ’The Book of Mystical Escapes’ contains three escapes: Heaven, Earth, and Human. Breaking through each grants respective spiritual power: celestial, terrestrial, and human. Mastering all three transcends myriad laws!’

Such dominance and breadth!

Long Chen felt a surge of passion in his chest! No wonder this technique was called an SSS-tier Divine Technique; its power was truly terrifying!

’Ding! Detected Nine Revolution Pill, enhances attributes. Would you like to consume it?’ The cold metallic voice resounded again, akin to celestial music to Long Chen’s ears.

Glancing at the golden pill, another item left by Immortal Zuo Ci.

"Then I choose ’Consume!’"

"Ding! Nine Revolution Pill in effect..."

"Ding! Experience +299999, Strength +10, Strategy +10, Stamina +10, other attributes +5"

"Ding! Congratulations, you’ve reached level 55! You’ve gained 20 free attribute points for allocation!"

Due to the increasing difficulty in leveling up as he progressed, these experience points only contributed to an 18-level increase.

But Long Chen was quite content with this outcome, feeling ecstatic.

"Allocate 10 points to Strength, 10 points to Strategy. Display attribute panel!"

"Beep! Checking the attribute panel..."

Governor’s Office of Yuzhou.

Wang Yun paced back and forth at the head of the room, his face showing signs of anxiety, his brows furrowed as if burdened by some worry.

At that moment, a guard hurriedly entered from outside the mansion, dropping to one knee and saluting, "Report, sir! General Long Chen, the Bandit Who Subdues Bandits, requests an audience!"

"Quickly! Bring him in!"

Wang Yun hastened down the steps, his previously troubled expression softening somewhat.

Before long, Long Chen strode in wearing the Silver Armor, his movements forceful yet graceful.

With a respectful fist salute, he inquired, "I wonder, my lord, why you’ve urgently summoned me?"

"Oh, Jueming, you’ve finally arrived!"

Wang Yun quickly held Long Chen’s arm, ushering him to a seat.

"If it weren’t an urgent matter, I wouldn’t have sent someone to summon you to the mansion for discussion!’

’You and Lady Diaochan just married, in your honeymoon phase, how could I bear to disturb that?’

Wang Yun displayed an ’I understand’ look.

’My lord, please stop beating around the bush and get to the point!’

’Fine, let me get straight to the point!’

’Some days ago, the Left General Huangfu Song and Right General Zhu Jun stationed at Julu County in Jizhou sent secret envoys inviting me to join them in the north to suppress the Yellow Turbans!’

Wang Yun waved his robe urgently as he spoke.

Pausing briefly, he continued, ’Now it’s time to face the Yellow Turbans in battle. I plan to lead a substantial force to support the Han army in the north. I hope, Jueming, that you would accompany me! What say you?’

Without hesitation, Long Chen firmly replied, ’My Lord! Suppressing the Yellow Turbans and aiding the Han Dynasty aligns with my aspirations. I shall not refuse.’

Long Chen’s affirmative response had two reasons:

Firstly, since obtaining the "The Book of Mystical Escapes" martial art, his strength had grown by leaps and bounds! This journey to Julu County was also to test his own power. After all, the battlefield was the best place to measure strength.

Secondly, to gain merits in the Battle of Julu and lay the groundwork for the upcoming warlords’ strife!

Moreover, Wang Yun was a staunch supporter of the Han Dynasty, a loyalist.

Despite aiming for future dominance, Long Chen needed to make it clear to Wang Yun that they were on the same side, to secure more support. After all, being knowledgeable about history, Long Chen knew that in the years to come, Wang Yun would hold the position of Minister of Works.

This minister was quite something, one of the Three Excellencies, akin to a Prime Minister in modern terms, with a position similar to that of an Education Minister.

Absolutely impressive!

In the initial phase, Long Chen decided to leverage Wang Yun’s power to grow and strengthen himself!

Hearing Long Chen’s unhesitant display of sincerity, Wang Yun felt deeply gratified.

Three days later, Wang Yun led a hundred thousand elite Han troops to Julu County in Jizhou, with Long Chen and his six thousand elite soldiers following closely behind. freēwēbnovel.com
