Calamity of Tomorrow
Chapter 846 - 844: Stat Points and Concealment
At this moment, a surge of Primordial Spirit power accompanied by layers of malevolent energy soared into the sky, breaking through the clouds, bringing with it the sound of clashing swords and armored horses.
Zhou Bai thought to himself, "Is Ming Yue rebuilding her Qi Sea with the Invisible Evil of the myriad weapons?"
Moments later, Ming Yue walked out of the small building, her vestment robe surrounded by celestial light and aura, accentuating her already graceful and slender figure.
Zhou Bai approached and congratulated her, "Sister, congratulations on successfully rebuilding your Qi Sea with the Invisible Evil of the myriad weapons."
Ming Yue smiled, a hint of delight flashing across her face. For immortals, ultimately their cultivation and strength are what matter the most.
"I need to go out for a while to arrange the wedding preparations. You stay here in peace, remember to conceal your identity. If anyone comes, just ignore them. This estate is surrounded by the array of Wanxian Island, ordinary immortals can't easily enter."
Ming Yue reminded Zhou Bai, agreeing very much with Zhou Bai's suggestion that they should not announce it to the world and should keep his identity hidden for the time being.
After all, Zhou Bai currently has serious conflicts with the righteous deities, and his reputation across the land is extremely poor. The attitude of the immortals towards him is also hard to predict.
If the heavens' many immortals and gods knew that Zhou Bai and Ming Yue were getting married, it would certainly stir up a great storm, and many people, especially those righteous deities, would surely oppose it.
Thinking of Xiang Tiandi's demonic lineage, Ming Yue felt a surge of wariness.
Moreover, even if deterred by the might of the God Emperor and the Celestial Master, outwardly submitting, in these three months, there would probably be countless secret maneuvers.
All kinds of criticism would flow endlessly from gods to humans alike.
Ming Yue thought to herself, 'Rather than this, it would be better to announce it at the grand wedding three months later. By that time, with the God Emperor and Celestial Master suppressing the scene, no one would dare to openly oppose it. Once we establish our status and complete the wedding, anyone who still wishes to object can do nothing about it.'
So Ming Yue instructed Zhou Bai to stay carefully in the room, ensuring not to reveal his identity, then she took off on a white cloud, flying outward.
Watching Ming Yue gradually turn into a black dot disappearing on the horizon, Zhou Bai headed to his own room, planning to sell the eighth realm vestment robe and flying sword in exchange for Lazy Points.
...
In Donghua City, while cultivating dao techniques, Zhou Bai suddenly opened his research with a slight curl at the corner of his mouth. Just now, having sold the vestment robe and flying sword with the Twisted Shadow, he suddenly gained six million Lazy Points.
"I can activate the next star point now."
Thus, with 11 million Lazy Points consumed, only a little over a million Lazy Points remained, while the third star point of the Mad Diagram gradually lit up.
Mad Color - Weapon Shatter: Each attack from your hands has a minuscule chance of damaging the opponent's equipment. Consecutive attacks on the same equipment can increase the chance of damage.
Training Method: Skipped
Lazy Points (0/11 million)
Zhou Bai felt spiritual energy converging in his hands as if it had solidified, but in the next moment, as the spiritual energy dissipated, everything returned to normal. Yet, seeing the fleeting rune on his hand, he knew the star point had taken effect, and his hands underwent some extremely subtle change.
"Zhou Bai! It's time to eat."
Hearing the voice of Xuan Nu coming from downstairs, Zhou Bai smiled and descended the stairs.
...
On Wanxian Island, Zhou Bai smacked his lips, thinking secretly, "Xuan Nu's cooking is quite good. It'd be better if she didn't keep staring at me while eating."
Looking at the sky outside the estate, Zhou Bai thought he needed to discuss going out with Ming Yue. Although he was supposed to hide his identity, Zhou Bai had no intention of staying in this estate for the entire three months.
The Twisted Shadow couldn't be cultivated either, so Zhou Bai sat around idly and began to roam around the estate, seeing if there was anything valuable, noting it in his mind for future chances to sell for Lazy Points.
A few hours later, even though Ming Yue hadn't returned, a streak of light broke through the sky, landing in front of the estate and descending.
A lithe figure holding a Jade Talisman had already passed through the estate's gates and prohibitions, spotting Zhou Bai lying on the lawn at a glance.
Zhou Bai looked at the girl walking in, she wearing a white gauze dress, with long black hair flowing in the wind, her face looking very youthful, like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
However, Zhou Bai knew that women on Wanxian Island could not be judged by appearance alone. Just by the fact that she could move freely through the estate's prohibitions, she was definitely no ordinary person.
Zhou Bai and the girl exchanged a look for a while, the girl frowned and shouted, "Is Ming Yue here? Inform her that I have emerged from seclusion."
Zhou Bai was slightly dazed, realizing that she mistook him for a servant of the estate, he lazily replied, "Ming Yue went out, I don't know when she'll return."
The girl, seeing Zhou Bai's lazy demeanor and that he answered her question while still lying on the lawn, immediately raised her eyebrows in displeasure, looking at Zhou Bai, "Seeing me and yet not paying respect, when did Ming Yue's servants become so ill-mannered."
If it had been Ming Yue's previous servant, at this moment they would probably be trembling with fear and immediately kneel to apologize.
However, Zhou Bai would never do such a thing, he merely smiled amusingly at the girl, "Are you an Immortal?"
"Such impertinence." The girl looked overly young, but when she spoke, she carried an air of age, coldly snorting as she looked at Zhou Bai, "Today, I'll discipline Ming Yue's servant on her behalf."
As soon as she said that, the girl struck out with her palm through the air, Primordial Spirit power transforming into a giant hand, directly grabbing at Zhou Bai.
"Hmm?" Zhou Bai raised an eyebrow, not expecting this woman to be so arrogant as to make a move directly.
Although it seemed like a casual attack, it was the Primordial Spirit power of an immortal, enough to severely injure a mortal, or even cripple them.
'This woman's Primordial Spirit power seems to be slightly stronger than Yan Zhenjun's, approximately at the level of 1.1 Yan Zhenjuns.'
However, Zhou Bai still lay on the ground, not even bothering to stand up, simply extending a finger, with a Sword Qi already shooting out, directly slashing towards that Primordial Spirit hand. The sword and hand clashed fiercely, ultimately both dissipating into the air.
Seeing this scene, the girl's heart surged with shock, completely not expecting the subordinate in front of her to be able to block her palm, "Impossible! You are definitely not Ming Yue's servant, who are you really? Why are you sneaking into Ming Yue's estate?"
And then, the girl exclaimed, a series of five flying swords rose from her surroundings, each glowing with five different colors, encircling Zhou Bai.
Zhou Bai frowned, "I'm... I'm Ming Yue's brother, temporarily staying here. If you don't believe me, wait for Ming Yue to come back and ask her yourself."
"Hmph." The girl sneered, she didn't remember Ming Yue having any brother, clearly, this person was lying, and his strength was not weak, surely harboring some unspeakable plot, which was too suspicious.
"I'll capture you first, then slowly interrogate you."
The girl formed a sword technique with her hands, as the sword lights swirled, the energies of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth each occupied a direction, forming a five-colored Sword Array that encapsulated Zhou Bai.

Recommend the book "Super God Mechanic", feels like it doesn't need my recommendation being a bestseller, but a PY plug never hurts.
