BXBX NOVEL Chapter 620 Why Were You Chosen?
He then flew into the sea, diving deep down with unimaginable speed. On his way, he saw countless sea demons, mainly the ones that resembled fishes. The majority range from Body Refining to Divine Altar and vary in size.
After diving more than a hundred thousand meters, Wang Wei began to see more Sea Races with humanoid appearances or characteristics. The creatures were between the Supernatural and Primordial Spirit Realms in this part of the sea. These creatures instantly became wary of him but did not interact when they realized how fast he flew.
While diving deep down, Wang Wei took the time to scan the surroundings with his Divine Sense. The concentration of Spiritual Qi was on par with the Eastern Continent, and the deeper he went, the higher the concentration. He detected a vast amount of spiritual herbs and resources–especially ores.
The Sea Race\'s culture was similar to the Demon race, meaning that array and weapon refining was not common, resulting in abundant resources. The only downside was these ores and resources were mostly water and Yin attributes.
After diving over a hundred million meters deep, Wang Wei finally discovered civilization. In front of him was the ocean floor and no more place to go deeper. However, in the middle of the sea floor was a building surrounded by arrays.
He knew that place was an embassy that connected the surface world with the Sea Race. If any factions wanted to contact the Sea Race, they had to go through this place. However, Wang Wei was not here for an official visit.
So, he flew into the distance, far away from the embassy, to a tunnel or vortex, which was the unofficial entrance that other cultivators must use. The Sea Race once wanted to block that entrance, but the other Emperor Lineages would not allow them to isolate themselves from the world entirely.
As he flew threw the vortex, Wang Wei sensed a mighty force tearing apart his body left and right. According to his calculations, the minimum requirement to survive this vortex was the Primordial Spirit Realm, and a decent artifact\'s aid was needed.
He followed the tunnel deeper under the ground to about 500 million meters underground.
Bam!
Wang Wei felt he had passed a barrier and entered a new world. His surroundings were no longer deep and eerie black. Instead, he thought he was above ground and under the sun. In the distance, he saw numerous constructions or underwater buildings.
Some of these constructs were underwater, but some had arrays that separated the water. He saw large pieces of land, some as small as an island and others as vast as a continent.
He saw a myriad of Sea creatures and humans. The humans were easily noticeable since most of them had barriers around them to protect against the pressure. Few could withstand it like Wang Wei, making him an anomaly and easily noticeable.
Without wasting time, Wang Wei turned invisible before teleporting to a particular island called Human Snake Island, which was the territory of the Teng She race, a sea creature with the body of a human and the lower part of a snake.
After secretly entering one of the stores and revealing himself, one of the Teng She membered kneeled on foot before him.
"Young master. I did not know you were coming."
"At ease. I wanted to stroll around the sea, so I did not notify you guys." Wang Wei said calmly.
"Where is he?" he asked, getting straight to business.
"Sun Jiaolong is hiding by also impersonating a member of the Teng She clan."
"Do you know why he\'s here?"
"We theorized the Sea Destiny Sword might be in the hands of the Teng She Clan."
Wang Wei and the Shadow Guard theorized three places the sword might be. The Baishe Clan, since they could use the Star Sage Lineage to find the sword\'s location.
The second is the Panlong Clan, a Sea Dragon with black scales and venomous and water attributes. They were among the many creatures created before the Null Era and modeled after Innate Dragons. Panlong looked exactly like dragons, except they had no horns.
The Panlong Race is the most powerful Emperor Clan of the Sea Race, with 6 Great Emperors. They were the only group with the power and confidence to protect the sword.
Finally, it was the Teng She Race. Although they only had 3 Great Emperors, they were the first Sea Race to cultivate a Great Emperor during the Incense Era.
According to the Fate Shadow\'s analysis, the Teng She Great Emperor has a high chance of being the one who condensed the Lucj of their entire race and forged the sword in the first place.
"Give me his location," asked Wang Wei. And after receiving the information he needed, he headed to where Sun Jiaolong was lurking in his disguise form. Wang Wei quickly noticed that his human upper body looked different from his actual face. From a distance, he watched Sun Jiaolong interact with other Teng She races, forming bonds and relationships.
Wang Wei then closed his eyes and connected to the Human Sword Destiny, trying to use its aura and power to sense other items of tremendous Luck. He instantly felt the one Sun Jiaolong had, but he could not find the one belonging to the Sea Race.
He stopped trying and gave up. He had a better way of knowing who had the sword. And if that did not work, he only had to wait until he proved the Dao to get his hands on it.
Then, Wang Wei acted. He waited until he was alone and appeared behind him, teleported him to a small world he had created. Although he wanted to bring him back to the surface, he could not directly teleport there unless he used a formation or used brute force and alerted too many people.
"Wang Wei," Sun Jiaolong groaned as he deactivated his transformation. "Why are you here? What do you want?" He was on full alert since he knew how powerful the monster before him was. Mo Xingyun had explained the Nine Extremity Foundation to him and the others in the alliance.
"Something has been bothering me for some time now," announced Wang Wei. "Why did the Human Destiny Sword choose you?"
"What are you talking about?"
"It\'s a fair question: why did it choose you?"
"Because I was the best choice?"
"Were you? If the sword\'s main criterion were talent, it would never have been your turn. If it was about the spirit of a Sovereign, Ji Song was a better match since he also was a Crown Prince back then.
"So, why were you chosen? What\'s so special about you?"
Sun Jiaolong did not answer; he had asked himself the same question many times but never reached a satisfactory answer.
"I\'ll tell you my thoughts. The Human Emperor is not the master of the sword: no one is the master of this sword. However, as its creator, he can influence it to do its bidding.
"So, he left it as a backhand to do something. I don\'t know exactly what that is, but I have some theories. Regardless, this is not important for the moment. To achieve his plan, he needs a vessel, a chosen champion.
"However, the vessel has to meet specific criteria: talented but not too talented. Intelligent and cunning, but not at the level of a Dao Lord or Overlord. A decent background but not one with powerful entities that have become mighty figures in the upper dimension.
"Do you see where I\'m going with this?"
"Someone that is easy to control," added Sun Jiaolong with gritted teeth.
"Bingo!"
"These are nothing but conjectures. There is no proof," argued Sun Jiaolong before taking a deep breath to calm down. He would not let these words affect his state of mind or Dao Heart.
"True. Unfortunately, I don\'t care if you believe me. I came here to remove a possible threat to my future."
His ancestor warned him about hunting the other Heaven Chosens, which would affect his status as the Son of an Era. And Wang Wei agreed–especially after the Era Luck saved him against these Great Emperors.
However, he felt that some people were too dangerous to keep around; they were unstable factors, so he would remove them before they could grow and affect the overall situation. And killing one or two will not affect his status.
He rushed toward Sun Jiaolong and punched him. He moved so fast that the latter had no chance to react.
Boom! The Great Wu Dynasty\'s future Sovereign exploded into a pool of blood, leaving nothing behind, including his soul and Dao. However, Wang Wei frowned after seeing the final result.
