Chapter 257 The Spirit King's Sincere Request! Information about a Treasure!
Zhou Ze bowed and said, "Senior, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"
The Supreme Spirit King opened his eyes, his gaze profound and deep, seemingly drawing one's soul into them.
"Apprentice, I won't stand on ceremony. I have a request to make of you!" King Jiling got straight to the point.
"Senior, if I can do it, I will do it without hesitation!" Zhou Ze said with a slight smile.
The Supreme Spirit King nodded, his face showing a hint of melancholy and loneliness.
"You should know that, let alone us powerful kings, even ordinary immortals will lose most of their friends and family over time."
"This is why many powerful beings in the universe take on disciples. After all, if they are willing to accept a disciple, that disciple's talent is naturally not weak, and there is a high probability that they will break through to immortality!"
"But a disciple is still a disciple, and can never compare to one's closest relatives. I come from a poor family, and my parents and wife in my youth..."
My children, my relatives and friends, have all left me—"
"Even after breaking through to immortality and making many friends, that purity can never compare to that of my youth..."
The Supreme Spirit King was lost in deep memories. As a powerful being, most of them had to experience their friends and family falling behind them, and in the end, they could only watch helplessly as they passed away one by one.
Zhou Ze naturally didn't disturb them and waited quietly.
After a long while, two tears welled up in the corners of the Extreme Spirit King's eyes. He came to his senses and said with self-deprecation:
"I'm ashamed to say that a powerful figure nearing the invincible realm of a king is behaving like a woman!"
Zhou Ze shook his head sincerely: "Senior is also a man of strong character. Many strong people forget their original intentions and the beauty they once had as the years go by."
"In my opinion, it is truly commendable that the seniors have never forgotten the past."
The Supreme Spirit King laughed, a very happy laugh. Logically speaking, being commented on by a junior at the Domain Lord level should not make him happy, but rather feel ashamed.
"Yes, forgetting the past is tantamount to betraying oneself!" The Supreme Spirit King nodded and smiled.
"Alright, the sob story is over, haha—"
"You probably guessed what I want your help with this time, right?"
Zhou Ze pondered for a moment and said, "Senior, do you wish to see my teacher?"
"Besides this, I can't think of anything else I can do to help you, senior. Do you still have a close relative alive?"
The Supreme Spirit King nodded seriously: "Yes, I still have a grandson alive, but his time is running out. If he can't break through to immortality, he will have to leave me when his lifespan is exhausted—"
"I even risked my own safety to find a treasure that could increase his chances of breaking through to immortality, but his talent and comprehension are simply too weak."
"He worked very hard, but in this world, most efforts may get you to a certain level, but breaking through to immortality is just too difficult—"
Zhou Ze had not experienced the difficulties of breaking through to immortality normally, so he naturally could not empathize with it.
"Senior, what aspect is your grandson still lacking in his breakthrough to immortality? Is it the laws?" Zhou Ze asked.
"Yes, it's about the laws. He's only one step away from mastering the Law of Wind, but he just can't seem to break through that one step, even though I keep him by my side every day and teach him meticulously. He just can't seem to break through."
At this point, the Supreme Spirit King clenched his fists, even becoming somewhat exasperated.
How can the gap between people be so great? Almost all of his disciples only need his guidance once, and after some time of self-reflection, breaking through some bottlenecks is only a matter of time.
But when faced with his grandson, he was truly devastated, and for a long time he even questioned the meaning of life.
Why is something so simple so difficult?
"It's about the laws, huh? That makes things easier. Senior, aren't you from our Virtual Universe Country Company?" Zhou Ze asked, puzzled.
"Yes, I am a King-level Immortal of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, but my grandson's talent is too ordinary to join the five major powers. Besides, if he were capable of joining the Virtual Universe Company, he wouldn't have failed to break through to Immortality despite my best efforts."
"Extreme Spirit King explained."
"That's true—" Zhou Ze nodded and said, "Senior, although I am my teacher's disciple, you know I can't speak for my teacher. I can only say I'll ask for you—."
"But don't worry, my teacher is a kind person. He knows you helped me. If I ask again, he might agree."
Zhou Ze naturally wouldn't make any guarantees.
"I understand. But even if I didn't ask you for help, I would still take action if I encountered something like this. After all, if I didn't care about something like this, it would be a disgrace to our entire Dream Universe Kingdom."
"Regardless of whether Senior 'Saint Master' agrees or not, I owe you a favor. Besides, no matter the final outcome..."
I'd even be willing to provide information on a "treasure of immense value" —
"However, I can't be completely certain whether it's true or not; I can only say that it's highly likely to be true—"
In the eyes of the Supreme Spirit King, the "Holy Master" was an incredibly great being, capable of having the Virtual Universe Company create a separate dimensional space for him.
How could such an existence possibly intervene for such a trivial matter? If it were so easy to get a holy master to help, then countless powerful beings throughout the universe would be begging for such a thing.
Even with such concerns, they wouldn't easily bring it up; at the very least, they'd have to pay a price.
Zhou Ze did not covet the treasure. His heart was pure and his mind was clear. This so-called treasure or supreme treasure may seem precious, but as long as one's strength increases, one can not only buy such things, but also the most powerful treasures in bulk.
Seeing that Zhou Ze had no reaction, the Supreme Spirit King assumed that Zhou Ze was only a domain lord and didn't yet have the concept of "precious treasures," so he explained:
"Treasures are generally only possessed by great beings at the level of cosmic rulers. Even for an existence like a 'Saint Master,' they wouldn't particularly value them, but if one could obtain one, he would probably agree."
Zhou Ze smiled slightly and said, "Okay, senior, I will pass on your words to my teacher. Don't worry, I will put in a good word for you."
"That would be perfect. I'll send you this information later, and you can give it to Senior 'Saint Master' for me!" the Extreme Spirit King said again.
"My grandson has less than a hundred years to live. Please take good care of him for me; he's my only remaining close relative in this world..."
The Supreme Spirit King stood up and bowed deeply. Zhou Ze wanted to stop him, but clearly this body lacked the ability, so he could only quickly say:
"Senior, you've gone too far. Putting aside your help just now, I would definitely do my best to help you with just your promise. I'll ask my teacher for help."
Zhou Ze was also somewhat moved. He never expected that the Supreme Spirit King would go to such lengths for his grandson, even giving up information about the "treasure".
Parents' hearts are always full of love and worry.
Zhou Ze couldn't help but think of Venerable Fiery's useless son, Demon Candle King. Venerable Fiery must have been extremely worried about his good-for-nothing son.
