Some hours had passed before a knock was heard on the main character's door. Checking to see who it was, opened the door to find a maid servant who had been ordered by the city lord himself to lead the main character and Han Sen into the meeting.
'Took them long enough, almost died of boredom...'He thought, as he followed behind the maid servant who now walked towards Han Sen's room.
*Knock*knock *knock*
The two waited for Han Sen to open the door, but he never did. Prompting the maid servant to continue knocking.
Again, there no answer.
Having waited for more than a few minutes, the main character lost his patience before knocking on the door whilst saying in a loud-enough voice, "Han Sen, its me, open the door. We have work to do!"
Surprisingly, this time, the two were met with silence.
'Now that's weird...'
The main character knew Han Sen wouldn't dare ignore Him out of all people, so there must've been something wrong. A bit concerned, asked the maid servant whether or not she could open the door from the outside. Unfortunately, she shook her head forcing him to revert to more crude methods.
Asking the maid servant to step to the side, he violently kicked down the door creati- wait, no, that didn't happen. I mean, that was what should have happened but instead, what actually happened was the main character having to repeatedly stomp onto the door, as it had fended off all his attacks.
"For fuck's sake, why the fuck is this door so sturdy???"
The maid servant on the side seemed to be knowledgeable as she replied, "All the doors in this mansion are made from wood belonging to the Ruby Oak tree, which is durable enough to tank an attack sent by a Completion realm cultivator. Although it's a rare species, the city lord stopped at nothing to make sure his abode was protected in his absence."
The main character nodded his head as he let out a sheepish smile. 'Fuck, now I understand! Its because my God essence was sealed. With it gone, so is the physical boon I got from its overbearing presence... Fuck!'
What was worse though, was the fact that his previously abundant options were now oh, so limited. For example, he couldn't use the Atlas, he couldn't use his God essence, he could use the essence found in his blood to create arrays but a man of status like him shan't to stoop so low.
He, who as the Primal God, had no reason to resort to such primitive means... Of course, everything that happened in season 1 doesn't count as desperate times, call for desperate measures.
Think through all his options, he finally remembered his long lost buddy. Fishing out a coin from his spatial ring, the main character let out a relieved smile as he tossed it up into the air.
Catching it back into his hands, he unravelled his fist to find that the coin had landed with its circular imprint facing up. Shining with a bright golden color, the coin shapeshifted into a donkey with a red, silk collar around it's neck. A collar that was attached to a golden bell.
Seeing that the Wealth donkey was summoned instead of the staff, the main character let out a humph before placing a hand on the donkey and ordering it to revert back into its coin form. Tossing the coin again, the main character waited until it felt right before catching it, but lo and behold, the donkey was summoned once again.
'The fuck?'
To the confused looks of the maid servant, the main character tossed the coin a few more times, only to achieve the same result. As he though of why this was happening, the main character finally remembered something.
'A week has passed, so the effects of the luck enhancing ritual has faded... Fuck!'
*CLING*CLING*
The bell on the Wealth donkey's neck sounded as it moved its head observing both the maid servant and the main character head on. Looking at its owner for an extra second longer, the Wealth donkey turned towards the door, observing it with keen eyes.
Turning to his Master again, it did a complete 180, positioning its ass towards the door and giving it a mighty kick. Somehow, the door that could withstand the attack of a Completion realm cultivator was no match for the donkey's kick as it was sent flying across the room. Shocking both the main character and the maid servant.
'I didn't know it could do that...' The main character thought, before carefully peeking inside. Accompanied by the maid servant, he saw Han Sen floating in the air whilst being in a lotus position. His body glowed and pulsed rhythmically, drawing the surrounding celestial energy towards him.
'Waaaait. Is he having a cultivation breakthrough?? On top of that, he was having a breakthrough right after I shared my expertise with him... My, oh my, I'm really the greatest of all time!!!'
Although they wanted to observe more, their tampering could lead to a deadly qi deviation. And so, the main character together either the maid servant, quickly left; having placed the door back awkwardly onto its hinges.
Arriving at the meeting place shortly after.
*knock*knock*knock*
The maid servant knocked three times before opening the door, drawing the attention of the people inside. Entering the room, the main character saw the city lord sitting at the head of a long table with chairs on either side. On some chairs there were blue holograms of high ranking Earthmire officials, while others were empty.
The city lord looked confusedly at the main character, watching him sit down on one of the empty chairs that just so happened to be at the opposite end, before asking "Bao Obi, where is your companion Han Sen?"
Lettin out a proud smile, the main character answered, "He's busy right now, after having had a series of occurrences, he seemed to have had some enlightenment and is now attempting to advance his cultivation realm..."
Hearing that, a collective sigh of jealousy was let out. Receiving enlightenment to breakthrough to the next realm? Only the talented were blessed with such benefits. Taking note of that, the city lord nodded his head in understanding before finally initiating the meeting.
"In that case, let's get this meeting on the way then... Lenny, give us a run down of the situation."
