Adventures Of Lord Genesis - Chapter 40
Qin Auir was shocked by the decision of his Emperor. The youngest princess of Vermilion Empire marrying a kid with almost no background!
If this decision was taken when Skyrise Emperor was in power, he could have understood it. But now Zhen Han has was a refugee! The imperial Zhen clan was on brink of extinction after the incident in the capital! Talent is useless if it doesn’t grow up!
“I have to follow the commands he gave me,” Qin Auir thought. He moved towards Awakening Pagoda area again.
Lin Xinu was staring at the screen projection. As the clan patriarch, he knew how serious the matter was.
“That kid might not be surnamed Lin but it doesn’t matter. I have to make sure he becomes loyal to Lin clan,” Lin Xinu thought.
————-
The family members of Zhen Han were feeling worried except his mother. Zhen Han has heaven-defying talent and now everyone has seen it! If it was two years ago then they wouldn’t be worried but now it was different.
There is a famous anecdote in cultivation world: “Treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime”.
Once upon a time, a mortal got possession of a divine jade ring. The mortal thought he could exchange the jade ring for some money so that he could buy comfort for his family. He planned to visit the market next day. Somehow the neighbors came to know about his treasure. The next day, mortal and his entire family were wiped out by a passing cultivator after he learned of the jade ring. If one doesn’t have the power to protect the treasure in his hands, then the treasure is not a treasure but a ticket to hell!
This was one of the reasons why every talented individual preferred to be under the wings of an empire, a sect or great clan!
Zhen Han might have heaven-defying treasure but he lacked background! The imperial family was being wiped out from Skyrise Empire but now such a heaven-defying talent was shown by a remnant of the imperial family! All forces in the empire would want to kill Zhen Han if they came to know about his talent.
“What should we do?” Zhen Ming asked. As a father, he was naturally worried.
“We don’t have to be worried about Han’er,” Lin Li said with a smile. She wanted to add ‘we should worry about others’ but decided not to.
Zhen Ming, Zhen Ling, and Lin Feng were surprised by the laid-back attitude of Lin Li.

Zhen Han was sitting in the lotus position inside the first floor of Awakening Pagoda. The arrays in the pagoda have been already exploded due to the high density of spiritual energy surrounding Zhen Han as it was beyond their capacity to handle.
Zhen Han slowly opened his eyes as if he awakening from a trance. There was confusion in his eyes but it was soon gone as he felt the spiritual energy running inside his veins.
“I succeeded in my Awakening” Zhen Han mumbled. He closed his eyes to check the spiritual veins inside his body in case there was some problem.
“What is that?” Zhen Han was shocked when he felt the spiritual energy flowing to a spot below his navel.
“Could it be my lower dantian?” He was pleasantly surprised when he reached this conclusion. He didn’t know how he formed it but from the behavior of the energy inside his body, he was sure of his guess.
He once again opened his eyes and then grasped his fists.
“I hope Uncle Zheng would be satisfied by my achievement! Perhaps he would teach me about the new Dao soon!” He spoke out his thought aloud.
Outside, everyone was startled by Zhen Han’s words. The spirit projection transmitted both images and sounds so they could hear what he said.
“Uncle Zheng? Does he mean Lin Zheng?” One of the great elders asked.
“I think so. But why is this kid talking about Dao? Lin Zheng isn’t qualified to talk on Dao much less teach a kid!”
“Y-yeah. But from that kid’s words, it seemed Lin Zheng has taught him some Dao before.”
“Lin Li, is this your son’s secret? Did your brother taught the kid some mystique Dao magic for him to have such heaven-defying talent?”
Lin Li’s face was twitching after hearing the question. She wanted to curse at the elders and her brother.
Lin Li knew the ‘Dao’ her son was talking about couldn’t be anything good. Earlier she has learned how his son was taught two great Dao by her brother!
Dao of Humiliation! Dao of Comeback!
It was thanks to the ‘enlightenment’ in these two ‘Great Dao’ that Zhen Han was able to insult Lin Yiruo so perfectly. He even taught everyone why whores deserve respect!
Lin Li couldn’t help but wonder what new Dao her brother was going to teach!
“Ahh!” Suddenly a sad cry came from the screen projection bringing everyone’s attention back to Zhen Han.
Zhen Han has a sad expression on his face.
“I failed!” There were tears in his eyes as he thought about the dream he had. He only remembered fuzzy details about the events inside his Inner World which he believed was a dream.
Zhen Han could recall nine coffins inscribed with strange carvings. He also remembered that he couldn’t see the images in last two coffins as they were surrounded by mist.
The nine coffins belonged to Formless Energy, Tree, Insect, Celestial Fiend, Divine Empress, Butterfly, Philosopher and two others.
He remembered he saw the memories of the philosopher. The details were fuzzy but he was sure the philosopher spoke about ‘Dream’.
The reason he was crying was that he wasn’t able to recall the sermon on ‘dream’. He knew the ‘dream’ sermon was something important. In fact he has even promised to use the great sermon for insult purpose and impress the world with a single feet.
He believed he could break the bottleneck he had on Dao of Humiliation if he used the words of the philosopher!
But now he couldn’t remember the words spoken by the philosopher! How was he supposed to use those profound words for humiliating others when he couldn’t even recall what were the words in the first place!
“Heavens, how could you be so unfair! Why would you be so cruel to me?!” Zhen Han blamed heavens for him forgetting the details of the dream!
Outside, the members of the younger generation went into a frenzy when they heard his words. They didn’t knew he was referring to his failure in Dao of Humiliation!
“Failed?”
“Heavens are cruel and unfair to him?”
“Son of a bitch!”
“Failed? Is he talking about his failure in Manifestation! That is something which only cultivators of Divine Manifestation can achieve! He didn’t even suffer any backlash but yet he is crying! Divine Manifestation is the sixth realm but he wants to achieve the Manifestation in the first realm?! How could the heavens let such a shameless person stay alive?!”
“He formed spiritual veins in ten seconds without any pain or discomfort! But for us it took hours followed by extreme pain. But now that bastard has the nerve to say heavens were cruel to him?!”
“Unfair? That bastard established his lower dantian in minutes even though it took us many years! Yet he is calling heavens unfair!”
“Extremely shameless!”
“No! He is right! The heavens are indeed unfair! They have been unfair to us instead of him! He reached the great circle of Awakening realm just after starting the cultivation!”
“Y-yeah! It is us who should be cursing heavens for being unfair and cruel!”
“There is no natural justice in the world! The criminal is acting as the victim! Heavens, just kill this shameless kid!”
