Chapter 188: Sacred Son |
"Thank you for the compliment," replied Wang Wei calmly while secretly reviewing the method that Han Li used to refine the Divine Punishment Thunder.
"Hahah," said Han Li. "I'm guessing that even if I did not intrude in your Sea of Consciousness, you probably even have other plans on how to get that technique from me.
"It is probably through the members of my inner circle. I am guessing that many of them have already been infiltrated by your people. It would be easy for you to manipulate a few of them to trick me into giving them the technique."
However, this time Wang Wei did not answer him.
Meanwhile, all the other disciples were shocked by Han Li's revelation. They were terrified by the fact that Wang Wei could actually scheme against someone for more than a hundred years in order to get some sort of technique.
According to Han Li, even a Great Elder in the Saint Realm was also easily calculated by the young sect master.
Of course, the person currently most furious was of course Great Elder Long Bo. He did not expect that he was schemed by a younger generation without even knowing him anything about it.
What's even worse was the fact that there was nothing he could do about it. After hearing his disciple's words, a flash of killing intent appeared in Long Bo's eyes. However, immediately afterwards, he felt a powerful pressure locked on him.
He knew that this was a warning against him. And this warning came directly from the True Monarch Supreme Elders. So, he gritted his teeth and remained silent.
Boom!
A powerful explosion enveloped the entire arena, creating a mushroom cloud a few thousand kilometers high.. Countless space cracks appeared. Although the protecting arrays still protected the surrounding area, the arena still shook tremendously. Cracks could be seen appearing everywhere amidst the terrible heat.
This explosion was due to Han Li blowing up his primordial soul in a suicided attempt to kill Wang Wei in his madness. What's more, this suicided attack actually reached the level of the Void Shatter Realm: a fact which was proven by the fact that the stable space of this world was actually broken.
After the explosion site was cleared out of all the fire or heat, Wang Wei was still standing in the middle of the arena; and he was intact, with no injuries whatsoever.
And this was not due to his powerful fleshly body, but due to the powerful talisman that he activated right before the explosion. A powerful barrier surrounded him as he looked at the few rags remaining of Han Li.
Then, he muttered, "Yes, I can also calculate such an outcome."
During the trial in the Lower Realm, Wang Wei had long learned his lesson on enemies that were driven to the verge. Whether it was his fight against Dong Hao or Ji Song, his opponent would always use desperate moves when death approached them.
Not to mention that Wang Wei could feel through soul fluctuation that Han Li was not in his best state of mind. So, how could he not take precautions?
After the arena calmed down, then everyone suddenly realized what had happened. The #1 Contemporary Sacred Son tried to kill the Young Sect Master in a suicide attacks.
Many people were puzzled by Han Li's actions, while few people could actually guess the reason.
No one can easily accept that someone that they thought was their opponent actually treated them as nothing but a chess piece that can move or discard any time.
Han Li's suicide attack was actually a last of rebellion in order to show his enemy that he could not calculate everyone, that he has his own will and will not be use as a hooked fish or a discarded chess piece.
Unfortunately, in the end, he still failed.
Many people signed after thinking about this. Some people admired Han Li's last determined will before his death. Some disdained him and thought that he took the easy way out; he should have waited until he was strong enough to avenge himself.
No matter the different opinion that people have of him, his actions will still have some lasting impact. Or maybe not.
After the battle was over, Great Long Bo snorted coldly before returning to his own mountain. Unfortunately for him, none of the people who previously followed him left with him.
These people are realists. They knew that with Han Li's death, the Sectarian Faction led by Long Bo no longer had any ways to fight with the other factions. And soon enough, they will be heavily suppressed. So, they wanted to quickly change sides while there was still the opportunity.
Meanwhile, Sect Master Wang Tian watched Long Bo flying away as he thought to himself, 'Long Bo, I have known you for many years. Although we do not see eye to eye on many things, I still consider you a member of the sect. So, do not force me to do something that I do not want to do.'
After that, Wang Tian looked at the disciples in the arena before announcing, "Now it is the perfect time for any of the other Contemporary Sacred Sons to challenge Wang Wei to become the Sacred Son, otherwise the position will go to him."
The arena instantly became silent after this announcement. All the other disciples looked at the place where the other Contemporary Sacred Sons were sitting. However, none of these guys moved or said anything.
All of them were still in the Peak of the Divine Body Realm and were not even a match for Han Li. So, how dare they challenge that demonic genius that almost ripped Han Li apart? Unless they were not afraid of death.
After seeing the reaction of these people, Wang Tian then announced, "In that case, the Sacred Son Ceremony will take place in seven days."
Afterwards, everyone evacuated and headed home to their own abode. Wang Wei returned to the Wang Clan Mountains in order to further ponder his gain during this battle. As for Wang Tian, he headed back to Tianwei Peak with all the other Elders.
This was the perfect opportunity to unite all the factions of the sect under one banner for a better future development. Furthermore, he needed to watch Long Bo closely and ensure that he does not do anything stupid.
As for Wang Wei, after returning to his seclusion, he started thinking about his strength as he discovered a problem: he could not fully use the power of his physique.
Since his Fate Puppeteer Physique is a new one, there is no cultivation technique best suited for him. Although the [Origin Path Scripture] allows anybody to cultivate it, it cannot bring to full display Wang Wei's physique.
One example of that is after breaking through the Supernatural Realm, Wang Wei can see a bunch of lines on top of people's heads with his Divine Sense.
Instinctively, he knew that these lines were referred to as Fate Line and contained information about a person's fate; whether it was when they were born, what they have accomplished in their lives, and even things that are going to happen to them in the future.
Despite knowing the ability of the Fate Lines, Wang Wei does not have the ability to observe a person's fate. All he can do is see the Fate Lines. As such, he knew that he needed a specific technique to be able to do such a thing.
However, creating a technique that is perfectly suited for him is not that easy as he needs the perfect opportunity, otherwise the technique he creates might end up being a third rated one.
However, Wang Wei knew that such an opportunity was rapidly approaching. And that was the opening of the Emperor Enlightening Academy.
The Academy contained a powerful artifact known as 3000 Dao Tablets--which contained the enlightenment of many Great Emperors throughout the ages.
So, when the academy officially opens up to the public, many Heaven Chosens throughout the entire world will head there in an attempt to get access to these Tablets--and Wang Wei was one of these people.
As long as he becomes enlightened of the 3000 Dao Tablets, he will be able to create a powerful cultivation technique perfectly suited for his physique, and thus further increase his strength.
