Chapter 212: Black-Hearted
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The expression of the person who attacked changed drastically.
This kid was too monstrous. He had fought against a hundred Emperor realm experts by himself and had consumed a lot of spiritual power. His injuries were not light either.
Under such circumstances, this kid had actually blocked his attack!
He was at the third level of the Supreme realm!
Even if he had not used his full strength in that attack, it was enough to prove how powerful and monstrous this kid was.!!
Now that he had offended this kid, once the other party grew stronger, he would definitely come back for revenge!
A fist flew towards Xiao Liang.
In order to kill him in one strike, he had used his full strength in this one punch in order to ensure that he could kill Xiao Liang!
However, a gentle voice suddenly rang out, though no one could see where it originated from.
“What’s the point of bullying a junior?”
The fist silently disappeared.
The attacker’s face was filled with shock. There was an expert here!
All of a sudden, his entire body tensed up. His heart was filled with shock, and he opened his mouth to ask for help, “Save…”
Peng!
His body turned into bloody mist, and his divine soul was also annihilated.
On a huge mountain beside the entrance, a powerful aura surged forth.
Heaven realm!
Every passageway was guarded by a Heaven realm expert.
However, the aura that had just surged forth quickly quieted down, and the other party chose to restrain himself.
The person who had attacked was even stronger than him, and he had not discovered any traces of the other party. That was terrifying!
His own life was more important!
In any case, the one who died was not a member of his own sect, much less his own junior. If he died, then so be it.
Liu Piaopiao’s divine soul was communing with the laws of Heaven and Earth. Since it was intertwined with the laws of Heaven and Earth, it was naturally difficult to detect her.
However, Chu Xuan knew that Liu Piaopiao’s soul was communing with the laws of Heaven and Earth. The area that she could draw power from the laws of Heaven and Earth did not exceed fifty miles, while the area in which she could unleash the power of the laws of Heaven and Earth was limited to only ten miles.
This was already sufficient.
In the Heaven realm, she was almost undefeatable. Unless her opponent could temporarily break through the laws of Heaven and Earth and interrupt her state of communion with the laws of Heaven and Earth, Liu Piaopiao would be in an undefeatable position.
Chu Xuan closed the Heaven-spying Mirror and did not continue to watch.
He was looking forward to Xiao Liang’s performance in the quota competition and the battle for the fate supreme treasure in the Asura Ancient Land.
He received the Battle Dao principle.
In an instant, his fighting spirit started boiling, as if he was born for battle.
Having grasped another Dao principle, his strength increased again. Chu Xuan was very satisfied.
The news of Xiao Liang single-handedly fighting a hundred Emperor realm experts and successfully passing through the passageway spread like wildfire throughout the Northern Zone.
Ever since the release of the communication talismans, as well as the headline news publication of the Northern Zone created by the Black Moon Tower, news spread quickly among the cultivators.
This headline news publication was something that Chu Xuan mentioned. Hei Yue had someone create it, specifically summarizing the major and minor news topics in the Northern Region for that day.
The Black Moon Tower had also launched the sales of news talismans, which allowed the buyer to access these news topics and information the moment they were published.
After more than half a year of promotion, at least 50% of the cultivators in the Northern Zone possessed a news talisman.
Without even needing Chu Xuan’s advice, Hei Yue had already made preparations for the next step, which was to charge for the news talismans.
After the cultivators had formed a reliance on the news talismans and were addicted to browsing through the news every day, the Black Moon Tower would introduce monthly subscriptions, annual subscriptions, and so on.
Only by paying the fees on time could they continue to receive the news publication.
Moreover, in order for this to happen, Hei Yue had made preparations in advance. Every news talisman had a unique mark on it, and it was tracked through the parent talisman.
If one did not pay, then the parent talisman would stop transmitting the news to that news talisman.
Ever since the communication talisman was introduced, the parent-child communication talismans had become well known. The operating principle behind the news talisman was thus not unfamiliar to them, and no one would doubt that there was a problem.
After all, many factions had refined their own parent-child communication talismans.
The reason why the news talisman could not be replaced was because of the Black Moon Tower’s strength and the fact that their branches were spread throughout the Northern Zone. No faction could replicate the Black Moon Tower and obtain information from all over the Northern Zone to create the headline news publication.
In addition, only the information released by the Black Moon Tower possessed authority and authenticity.
It was trustworthy.
This was also something that Hei Yue had done purposefully. From the moment she took control of the Black Moon Tower, she had been building a trustworthy and reliable image for the Black Moon Tower among the Northern Zone’s cultivators.
Credibility guaranteed!
When Chu Xuan heard Hei Yue explain the next step of the plan, he could not help but sigh. No wonder she was called Hei Yue. Her name really suited her methods.
(T/N: Hei Yue means Black Moon.)
She had countless methods, and operated using the mindset of a capitalist from his previous life.
After Chu Xuan listened to Hei Yue’s plan, he gave some suggestions to perfect it.
For example, for certain hot news items, it would only display the headline and a brief excerpt. If one wanted to see the whole news article, they would have to pay an extra fee to purchase it.
Of course, in order to make things easier for cultivators to pay, one did not have to go to the branch of the Black Moon Tower to pay the fee every time. One could sign up for a VIP package and pay an extra fee every month to see the full contents of the hot news items.
She could also take on the advertising business and broadcast messages for people. Whoever wanted to be famous would go to the Black Moon Tower.
She could charge according to the number of people they wanted the message broadcasted to. The more people they wanted to broadcast to, the higher the fees.
When Hei Yue heard this, she was dumbfounded.
She had always thought that her business methods were cutthroat, and that she was black-hearted enough to put profits first.
Unexpectedly, compared to her master, she was a completely good person!
As expected of her master, his heart was really black!
Chu Xuan’s words seemed to open the door to a whole new world for her, and many strange and wonderful black-hearted ideas instantly emerged one after another!
“Master, do you think I should lower the pay of the members of the Black Moon Tower? Increase their working time and workload?”
“Perhaps I should tie their rewards to the efficiency of the branch’s operations. For example, how many tasks and missions must be completed before they can receive the benefits and rewards. If they fail to complete the task or mission, they will be punished. If you cause a loss beyond a certain measure, we can even deprive part of their cultivation as compensation for the Black Moon Tower…”
Good heavens!
Even capitalists would cry when they heard this. This was too f*cking ruthless!
Chu Xuanzheng’s expression was serious. He could not let this female disciple of his become a black-hearted female devil. He could not give her any more tips when it came to the business world.
He did not want to nurture a black-hearted female devil.
In particular, they should not exploit their own people!
“Hei Yue, don’t be black-hearted. If you treat your own people like this, will you still have feelings of loyalty in your heart?”
“Everything should be done in moderation. You cannot be too excessive towards your own people. In one’s life, you cannot lack the tenets of loyalty, compassion, and sympathy. This is part of the Great Dao!”
Hei Yue’s heart trembled. She bowed and said, “Master’s teachings are correct. Hei Yue has gone astray.”
“Learning from mistakes is good!”
Chu Xuan nodded.
“Thank you for your guidance, Master. Hei Yue knows what to do now.”
Chu Xuan nodded and said, “There must be a limit to everything. You should grasp it well on your own.”
“Master, I understand!”
Chu Xuan was gratified. After all, Hei Yue’s experience in this field was extraordinary. It was not so easy for her to go astray.
Fortunately, he had corrected it in time.
Hei Yue retreated and continued to push forward the implementation of the Heavenly Dao Talisman plan.
Xiao Liang fighting a hundred Emperor realm experts by himself had undoubtedly shaken the Northern Zone. Countless cultivators were shocked, especially those Heaven’s Blessed. They were all amazed.
There was actually such a monster in the world, fighting a hundred Emperor realm experts by himself!
It sounded so terrifying!
Some Heaven’s Blessed were eager to give it a try. They were prepared to pretend to be itinerant cultivators and challenge the checkpoints. It was also a chance to make a name for themselves.
At this time, the Black Moon Tower very thoughtfully and timely launched a business.
