Chapter 3661: Chapter 1783: Attaining Fame
Recognition?
Lord Shou, recognize Sword Deity Hua?
The newcomer speaks arrogantly, claiming to want recognition from the elders on the Way of the Sword?
Feng Zhongzui shrinks in a dark, small room, clutching a Golden Apricot, silently watching the Ghost Buddha Realm battlefield, feeling that surreal sense of life after a long time.
"How dare he..."
In six months, Feng Zhongzui’s passion faded to tranquility.
Flower Moon Tower was his realm, receiving the attention of the five regions, nurturing the sense of "I am the center of the world".
From being a spectator, to transmitting the Dao for Lord Shou.
To becoming the protagonist in the Dao-transmitting scenes, enjoying the thrill of attention from the five regions like Lord Shou.
This process, many people spend their entire lives seeing no end.
Feng Zhongzui achieved it in just a few months.
To achieve success at a young age, it is no more than this.
Borrowing Lord Shou’s phrase "For hundreds of generations, there is no such prodigy as I; for ten thousand years, no higher person emerges", perhaps surpassed.
But in a certain sense, how is it not?
After all, they both call themselves... Emperor Zhongzui!
Feng Zhongzui bent down his hands, trying to embrace himself, the fat on his belly and the arms swollen by obesity restrained his movement.
The room was very small, with curtains drawn all around, pitch black.
He suddenly felt a chill.
"How can this be?"
"It shouldn’t be like this..."
For half a year, in the Golden Apricot transmission, Feng Zhongzui learned from Lord Shou in the Dao Imparting Mirror, often speaking wildly, making absurd moves, with excellent reactions.
He referenced Holy Emperor Ancestor God above and mortals below, either drawing from texts or fabricating from nothing.
Anyone who went up to the Sword Testing Platform could be critiqued by him.
He believed he had seen through Lord Shou’s "attention-seeking" art, applying such techniques in the Golden Apricot transmission, indeed benefiting greatly.
A very obvious fact is:
When others acted the same "clown", they only received curses.
As the chosen one in the Dao Imparting Mirror Realm, imitating Lord Shou’s words and actions, he received mostly admiration and praise.
The number of Apricot-followers focusing on him increased steadily.
Feng Zhongzui’s physique changed, weight increased, yet the Apricots together lifted him high into the sky.
Standing high, seeing far.
Feng Zhongzui, could also look down upon the world!
But now, watching Lord Shou "recognize" Sword Deity Hua in the Ghost Buddha Realm, Feng Zhongzui suddenly felt a shiver.𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"Wrong..."
He found he only ever spoke about lowly people.
It’s the ordinary ancient swordsman in two-man brawls, the Spiritual Cultivator who desired fame and just picked up a sword and went on stage... all were mediocre.
The real masters never came to the Sword Testing Platform.
Even Elder Yang couldn’t be moved, let alone the new generation like Sword Deity Bei, or the old generation like Master Siren!
But what about Lord Shou?
Lord Shou also spoke of heaven and earth, mocked rivers and mountains, looked down upon Ancestor God.
He did not critique as an outsider but entered the scene, provoking face-to-face—and had the ability to handle it, which was most important!
"Mad!"
By the dog, I am the king.
Lord Shou exemplified the word "mad" vividly, not even putting Sword Deity Hua in his sight.
Feng Zhongzui once thought of himself as such.
With a king’s demeanor, he critiqued the pitiful battles of two struggling on the Sword Testing Platform, which also exemplified "mad".
But...
Is this truly "mad"?
Imitating a tiger only to resemble a dog, looking at it now, over six months, the millions of viewers of the Golden Apricot, were they watching the play on stage, or their own play, is still debatable.
The invitation from Xiao Wanfeng before leaving flashed in his mind, Feng Zhongzui looked down at his now obese body, his face full of bitterness.
He realized something...
How absurd is life?
But what is absurd is not the attention-seeking acts like Lord Shou’s, but thinking he truly was attention-seeking and imitating him.
My life, a total wreck!
"Three million..."
"Five million..."
"Seven million..."
Feng Zhongzui watched as the spectators in the matchmaker Golden Apricot scenes climbed steadily, and most of them had previously focused on him.
He clenched his fist.
After Flower Moon Tower forcibly closed the Golden Apricot scenes, at home, he saw his followers flowing to the matchmaker’s side.
He tried to reopen his Golden Apricot scenes, but the result was...
"Thirty thousand people!"
From seven million, suddenly dropped to thirty thousand.
The most terrifying thing wasn’t this, but after opening the Golden Apricot transmission, Feng Zhongzui suddenly lost his ability to speak, as if the borrowed talent was taken back by the heavens.
For months he hadn’t looked at comments, driven by some impulse, he glanced at them...
All were curses, all were criticisms, all were reproaches!
Compared to when the Dao was first transmitted, it was like heaven and earth.
Feng Zhongzui immediately shut the Golden Apricot transmission scenes.
He hid into his closed space.
He wanted to go to the Ghost Buddha Realm, wanted to follow in Xiao Wanfeng’s footsteps, knowing all glory could return if he stood there to transmit the Dao.
"I dare not anymore?"
Obscured from seeing the sacred mountain.
In the darkness Feng Zhongzui searched his heart, asking his true feelings, shuddered at the response.
In truth, no leaf could veil Feng Zhongzui, he knew well that it was just him covering his eyes, now accustomed to comfort.
"Lord Shou dares to mock Hua Changdeng, I once fought Ancestor God with Lord Shou, what do I fear to do?" Feng Zhongzui chuckled softly.
The room was too dark.
He pulled back the curtains, opened the wooden window.
The view outside was beautiful, a courtyard only immense wealth could create, yet framed by the square window ledge, felt too stuffy.
"Ugh..."
So suffocating it was hard to breathe!
