Chapter 765 (1/2)

“Junior Master,” Zhou Weiqing stood in front of Duan Tianlang’s door. He lightly knocked the door and said respectfully.

“Come in,” Duan Tianlang said from inside his room, but his voice sounded like he was exhausted.

Zhou Weiqing was startled for a little. It was only several months ago that Duan Tianlang was rejuvenated with his Saint Energy. Even though his physique could not compare to his prime, he should still be full of life, not as weak as he is currently!

Puzzled, Zhou Weiqing entered the room.

As soon as he saw Duan Tianlang, Zhou Weiqing was shocked. “Junior Master, what happened to you?” he said as he dashed beside Duan Tianlang. Zhou Weiqing grabbed Duan Tianlang’s arm and started transferring his reddish-gold Saint Energy into Duan Tianlang’s body.

Duan Tianlang’s condition at that moment could be described as horrendous. His face was in a tint of grey, his black hair turned white, and his face was crawling with wrinkles. His eyes were dull and without life, no matter how Zhou Weiqing looked at it, he was like an old man on the brink of death.

Receiving Zhou Weiqing, Saint Energy, Duan Tianlang’s body trembled as his condition improved. His life force was restored, and under the cleansing of the Saint Energy, his physical functions started to rejuvenate from its waning state.

Zhou Weiqing was aghast as he healed Duan Tianlang. He could clearly feel that if his cultivation base had not been elevated to Heavenly Emperor tier, he could at most delay Duan Tianlang’s imminent death for a few months with his Saint Energy Galaxia. Saint Energy was not omnipotent, there were things that cannot be reversed. Fortunately, his reddish-gold Saint Energy was purer than before and could save Duan Tianlang from death.

The effects of his Saint Energy was immediate, Zhou Weiqing could see that Duan Tianlang was slowly recovering. The dullness in his eyes was slowly replaced by a hint of surprise.

An hour later, with Zhou Weiqing’s diligence, Duan Tianlang had finally recovered enough to compare to a few months ago when Zhou Weiqing last helped him.

“Weiqing, you’ve improved again. I really thought I was done for this time. However, I was not doing it on purpose, it’s beyond my control! Haha, you’re really my lucky star!”

Duan Tianlang laughed, but Zhou Weiqing was livid, he glared at Duan Tianlang angrily. He said angrily, “Junior Master, what have you done? I had just nursed you back to health, how could you take such bad care of yourself? What exactly did you do, your body had almost fallen apart!”

Listening to Zhou Weiqing’s reprimand, Duan Tianlang scratched his head embarrassedly. He sighed, “It’s an old problem. I can’t help it, it’s so ingrained in me. Once I entered the state of researching Consolidated Equipment Scrolls, I can’t stop. I think this time around I have not slept for more than a month.”

“What? More than a month? Without rest? You…” Zhou Weiqing was out of words.

When Duan Tianlang said he had not slept for more than a month, it was not only that he did not sleep, he had been awake every minute of the day for a month researching Consolidated Equipment Scrolls. If it were not for that, how would Zhou Weiqing’s Saint Energy have depleted so quickly?

Duan Tianlang said apologetically, “It’s entirely my fault. However, Weiqing, let’s not talk about this. Look at what I’ve done here.”

As he was speaking, Duan Tianlang leaped up like a groom about to be married and pulled Zhou Weiqing to his work desk, on which a scroll with meter-long sides was spread.

On the unfurled scroll, the first thing Zhou Weiqing saw was grey lines interwoven tightly. These lines were outlined with a special pen, the scroll was made of good quality sheepskin, which is known for its durability.

Zhou Weiqing had wanted to talk to Duan Tianlang, however, when he saw the scroll, he was stunned.

In the eyes of normal people, those grey lines would give them dizzy spells. However, Zhou Weiqing was not normal people! As his cultivation base was raised to Heavenly King and then to Heavenly Emperor tier, he could finally be called a God Tier Master.

As the large scroll appeared in front of his eyes, the only emotion he could feel was a shock.

Yes, it was a design of a Consolidated Equipment Scroll, its patterns were more complicated than any other Consolidated Scrolls Zhou Weiqing had ever seen. There were many segments where it was slightly messy, but following the lines, Zhou Weiqing still squealed every once in a while.

Duan Tianlang stood beside him, reading along. The difference between him and Zhou Weiqing was that his eyes only exude fascination. It was as if he was looking at the most beautiful woman in the world, and occasionally, he even caressed the sheepskin scroll, he was practically living in his own world.

“Junior Master! Junior Master, you did it! My goodness, this is a miracle, it can only be called a miracle,” Zhou Weiqing squealed, unable to hold back.

His head snapped up and looked at Duan Tianlang. Even though Zhou Weiqing was not as persistent as Duan Tianlang in creating Consolidated Equipment Scrolls, he was still a God Tier Master and an heir of the Strength Legacy. How could he not marvel at an epic creation like this particular Consolidated Equipment Scroll? He could not imagine how a scroll like this could actually be designed, some concepts in it could only be described as a masterpiece.

“Yes, I’ve succeeded. Even I didn’t think I could succeed,” Duan Tianlang murmured. “Perhaps, perhaps it was because I have walked to the edge of the realm of the Dead, I’ve kept my heart calm enough and brave enough to abandon everything else, that the Heavens finally presented me with such glorious achievement.”

Even after finishing the Ringless Ground Purging Set, Duan Tianlang had not once mentioned the word ‘achievement’, but at this moment, pride was written all over his face.
