The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 231 Breakthrough Success
The broken diamond shield was slowly repaired together after the old man poured his true essence over it. The shield looked even sturdier, but he was still unsure.
“Phantom Sky Rendering Sword! Release!”
A gigantic sword ghost soared in the sky, leaving a trail of brilliant light in its path.
Boooom!!!
The old man's attack managed to block five lightning bolts and the rest darted towards him while producing a sound of shock in the air.
Baanngg!
The Sky Diamond Protective Halo had only managed to block three lightning strikes, resulting in the old man being struck by the remaining lightning.
His face wrinkled in pain and his body convulsed after being exposed to high voltage electricity. Several burn scars appeared on his body and a small part of his flesh was also torn.
The most shocking thing of all was that the roof he was standing on seemed to be undamaged even after being struck by lightning! However, the old man was too engrossed in the pain he felt that he failed to notice anything about this.
“Argh! That fucking pain! Damnit!” The old man who had always been civilized and always acted like a cursed sage before hissing in pain.
“I almost thought I would die there. Fortunately, the painting on the second floor of the shop somehow managed to increase my strength. If I am not mistaken the painting should be drawn by an Eternal Painter. It's absolutely incredible! made by Wine Master Jiu ..” The old man muttered while slowly sitting cross-legged. He then looked at the slowly turning bright sky.
The lightning flash had already dissipated since he had broken through to the Nascent God Realm.
“I can't believe I managed to break through to the Nascent God Realm even after failing once. I have to admit that Wine Master Jiu helped me so much this time as well as that stupid boy Elyk.” He said with a smile before he closed his eyes to meditate. He still had to consolidate his strength after that breakthrough. Even though he was already an expert of the Nascent God Realm, he still had to stabilize his territory to prevent future troubles from occurring.
After the old man's breakthrough, his control over spiritual power increased by an enormous margin. He was now able to freely control his spiritual perception, but of course, his skill at using spiritual perception was not even half of Jiu Shen's. Even so, it was still a huge improvement for him in terms of combat prowess and spiritual strength.
The old man looked at his dantian through his spiritual perception and gasped in shock. ‘So this is how the dantian of the Realm of the Newly Born Gods. Not to mention the increase in my internal organs, blood vessels, bones, and even my skin. I ended up becoming a Nascent God Realm expert! With my strength, our Silver Wing Kingdom will now have a say in the Alliance!’
“Oh shoot! I forgot about the shop! I wonder how she is after being struck by the lightning of my distress!? I hope nothing... Hm?!” Excitement when seeing the condition of the roof is still original. It stays spotless clean at all angles.
“What the fuck?! Even the imperial palace would be destroyed if struck by the tribulation lightning! Why is the shop still ... Sigh! Why am I even surprised? The owner of this shop was someone who was already in the Nascent God Realm, so it shouldn't be impossible for him to make his shop like an impenetrable fortress …” The old man chuckled with a wry smile.
“I have to go back inside and thank Wine Master Jiu for this great opportunity. How can I pay such debt? Sigh.” He sighed while shaking his head.
Inside the store, all the customers looked very calm despite the loud explosion they heard more than thirty minutes ago.
“It looks like that damned lightning strike is now gone. Wait for. Let me go and check it out.” A customer stood up and peeked through the window. He then turned around to face everyone with a joyous expression on his face.
“Everything, the sky is now clear!”
Everyone cheered after hearing his words. Some savvy customers leave the store because they fear Theia will evict them due to overstay. Some others also left after realizing that, while some people kept ordering more wine.
Inside the second floor, Jiu Shen leaned back in his chair while hugging a little girl sleeping on his arm. He put on a calm expression as he gently stroked the little girl's stye face with the back of his hand. ‘This little girl can actually sleep even with the lightning tribulation outside ..’ She thought while staring at the little girl's face with a hint of warmth.
Jiu Shen made a movement with his finger and moved the girl to their room.
Everyone saw this, but they remained silent. Who among them did not know that Jiu Shen was an expert of the Nascent God Realm?
They were not surprised to see that he was able to control the space element with such skill as only those of his level could manipulate the space element so easily. However, they were still mesmerized by how leisurely he made her look.
“Wine Master Jiu, how is my father? Is she okay?” The emperor asked with a worried look. It had been over thirty minutes after the sky had returned to normal, but there was still no sign of the old man, so he felt a little anxious about his father's state.
Jiu Shen looked at him and replied calmly. “Don't worry, Elyk. Your father was able to break through to the Nascent God Realm and he only stabilized his territory. He should be here anytime now.”
Everyone inside the second floor revealed shocked expressions when they heard that. After all, the Nascent God Realm was something very far out of their reach…
