Chapter 1022 Two Major Events
Wang Wei slowly sat down:
"What happened to make you in such a hurry?"
"My people did something egregious, and I wanted to apologize," replied Ao Shen before cupping his hand and bowing deeply. Wang Wei looked in the distance and uttered, "I see."
"Where is the kid?"
Ao Shen waved his hand, and the captured Wang Clan members appeared in the middle of the room. The young man looked at Ao Shen with eyes that wished to spew fire before bowing to Wang Wei;
"Patriarch."
"What\'s your name?"
"The little one is Wang Shirong."
"Shirong? Scholar of Honor? That\'s an excellent name."
"Thank you, patriarch, for the compliment,"
replied Wang Shirong trying to control his emotions. Every Wang Clan member knew of the legendary tale and accomplishments of the patriarch. There is even debate on who is a better patriarch and Emperor-the Ancestor, Qiyuan, or the current Heavenly Emperor.
To Shirong, there is no debate that the Heavenly Emperor is better. However, people in the clan are so used to blindly worshiping the Ancestor that this pointless conversation keeps going on.
He knew how many bragging rights he would have after returning to the clan and telling these people he met the patriarch, and the latter praised his name.
"How is your injury?" asked Wang Wei.
"Nothing serious." The scratches on his body had already healed, so there were no injuries, but he could not readily admit that.
"Why didn\'t you use the clan\'s name to save yourself?"
The Wang Clan has started to send their members to different worlds as a form of training and tempering; these people won\'t receive a Dao Protector and must rely on them. However, they are thought to use the clan\'s name and power in case of emergency. The only negative effect of doing so is receiving a lower evaluation unless the situation is truly unavoidable.
"I wanted to, but these demons did not give me an opportunity," he replied with gritted teeth.
"Luckily, you\'re alright," nodded Wang Wei before glancing at Ao Shen. "You only need to compensate the kid, and the situation will be resolved."
The proud dragon\'s heart skipped a beat as he would not believe these words. He had analyzed how the Dao Opening Sect operated and knew they would not care if their clan member was killed or even captured by another genius.
However, they would not accept an older and more powerful cultivation capturing their own- especially for their clan\'s bloodline.
Given how potent and supreme their bloodline has become, such an act is probably taboo to them. The Heavenly Emperor might not care about such a small event, but what about after he leaves? What if the Wang Clan holds a grudge?
What if they use this event in the future to attack or intervene in the affairs of the demon race?
With all these things to consider, Ao Shen knew he could not solve this issue without the utmost satisfaction level for all parties. A space ring appeared in his palm, and he handed it to the kid.
"This space ring contained many rare resources to develop the bloodline. Consider it compensation for what my people did."
Wang Shirong did not immediately take the ring despite his excitement. He instead looked at Wang Wei and only took it after the latter nodded.
He then bowed politely before leaving the throne room; he was smart enough to know when to exit and not participate in these grownup affairs.
Wang Wei watched this young human fiendgod\'s departing back and secretly praised how smart this kid was.
"Your majesty, this is to thank you for making resolving this problem so swift and easy," continued Ao Shen as he held a scroll in his hands. It flew to Wang Wei on the throne, and he read the title: Merit Transition Method.
"I accept your kindness," nodded Wang Wei. Ao Shen bowed before leaving the room and teleported back to the North. He headed directly to his cultivation room and immediately activated the formation.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
He punched the walls repeatedly while his dragon roar echoed and bounded between the halls. He was not stupid and had figured it out. Most of the top Emperor Lineages had contacted him about the Merit Transition Method, except for the Dao Opening Sect.
So, what did that mean? They already knew this event would happen or even orchestrated it. The feeling of losing control of his fate and being manipulated by a puppet was more terrible than eating shit.
A few minutes later, he finally calmed down; he had long known he needed strength to be able to control his fate, and this event only accentuated this fact to him. He walked out of the room as if nothing had happened and looked at the demon race\'s Qi Luck Dragon. The spot was no longer there, and Ao Shen exhaled.
\'This is not over,\' thought Ao Shen. He needed to take action and hide certain to prevent his bloodline hunting force from being discovered. He knew his visit to the court would raise eyebrows, and these people would begin to snoop to find out what had happened.
He must ensure that the truth they will discover is that one of his people accidentally discovered a potent bloodline and wanted to dedicate it to him instead of the fact he had created a hunting team for that sole purpose.
Lastly, he must also punish these three people for their dereliction of duty. Although he won\'t kill them for such a mistake, they won\'t live without punishment and demotion.
Heavenly Court:
Wang Wei was reading this technique, gaining deeper insight into the mechanism of Heaven and Earth.
\'It would be more interesting if Insurgents could transition to the Emperor Path based on their strength,\' he thought. However, he knew such a thing was impossible because, in the classification of Heavenly Dao, only the Heaven and Primordial Path are on par with the Emperor Path.
\'It may not be completely impossible. Maybe in some other Chaos Worlds, the laws of the world allow for such a transition,\' continued Wang Wei.
The Chaos Universe was vast, and few things were absolutely impossible.
"How long do I have to wait?"
"Don\'t know exactly."
"Even you can\'t divine it?"
"I only know it\'s around this time, and there is a chance for failure."
"I see. In that case, let\'s take a small break. I have stayed in this place for too long." He changed his appearance before going on a small food tour around the world while taking in the changes in the world.
This lasted for a month, and three days after he returned to the court, while he was sculpting Wu Hong\'s beautiful face with clay, the space in the distance twisted, and someone fell out. He instinctively appeared and caught the body.
"Tong Ruobing?" She had passed out, her body full of injuries, and a weird black aura was intertwined with her.
"Be careful. That aura is very corruptive," warned the clone as he appeared. With a wave of his hand, he encased the body in a white protective shield that resembled a bubble.
"Her [Existence] has been injured, just like me," commented Wang Wei as he noticed the difference.
"Indeed," nodded the clone as he proceeded to heal her. He first sealed the dark aura before removing it. He felt an intense resistance and had no choice but to activate his full power before succeeding.
"Here." He handed the sealed aura to the main body before healing her. A few minutes later, Tong Ruobing\'s pale face opened her eyes.
"Where am I?" She took a moment to notice her surroundings, "So, I successfully escaped?"
"Indeed," nodded Wang Wei. "So, what happened?"
Tong Ruobing opened her mouth before closing it; her brow furrowed deeply.
"What is it?"
"My memory...it\'s fuzzy."
"You didn\'t see anything?"
"No, I know I saw something. But it\'s like someone has altered my perception of the events." A look of horror flashed in her eyes: who could do such a thing to an Eternal Emperor of her caliber?
Wang Wei was deep in thought. Such information was actually useful. "What exactly do you remember? Don\'t leave anything behind."
Tong Ruobing\'s mind was still fuzzy, so she took a moment to organize her thoughts: "I first gathered information about the Abyss Gap from the Commerce Hub. Most of the information was basically useless, focusing on the Great Emperors who died trying to explore it. One piece was useful, though- a few individuals corroded by the same aura from the gap have been found in a few Heaven Will Worlds."
Wang Wei squinted his eyes because he had a similar encounter with a small sect on the Eastern Continent.
"After that," continued Tong Ruobing. "I headed to my destination and immediately used your talisman." She paused before giving him a look.
Had she not experienced the Dream World and his true power, she would have been enamored with that talisman.
"Don\'t look at me like that. I could not give you the power I had in the Dream World because it was temporary, not my own," admitted Wang Wei frankly.
"I understand," said Tong Ruobing softly before continuing: "It took me a while to bypass the seals without affecting them. But, immediately afterward, I...."
