Chapter 74: Intensifying Conflict
After his breakthrough, Wang Wei returned back to the Wang Family. His father, mother, and all the Supreme Elders were looking at him like he was a rare animal in the zoo.
In fact, they were just excited, and they were also checking whether something was wrong with Wang Wei.
One of the Supreme Elders suddenly said, "I cannot see the young master’s cultivation level."
It was then that they all noticed that they indeed cannot feel the cultivation level of Wang Wei even if they use their powerful divine sense.
"It’s not just his cultivation level, I cannot even feel his presence. I’m looking at him, but It’s as if he did not exist between Heaven and Earth."
Right now, Wang Wei was indeed in a wonderful state where even Supreme Realm powerhouse could not detect any of his information.
Another Supreme Elder started calculating in his finger, then said. "Not just that, I cannot calculate any information from the young master. I cannot even observe his Qi Luck."
Upon hearing this, even Wang Wei was shocked. He activated his eyes’ true sight and found that his Dragon of luck became black and illusory. What’s more, he can see many strings attached to him, however, they were none on the Supreme Elders.
No, to be exact, it seemed like he could not see the strings. Intuition told Wang Wei that the strings existed, but he was just too weak to see them or he did not have the right method.
"Wei’er, use the blood qi in your body," asked Wang Wei’s grandfather, Wang Chang. And he did so. Wang Wei could feel that his blood qi increased by 100,000 jin just because of this one layer breakthrough.
Just when Wang Wei used his blood qi, the other people finally could find traces of his existence. It seemed that as long as he did not use his cultivation level, he would look like a mortal.
Wang Wei could tell that his breakthrough will bring many benefits. However, it also seemed that he had to discover them for himself.
While Wang Wei recounted his experience in the past week to the elders, Great Elder Long Bo went to see his direct disciple, Han Li.
When Han Li received the news that his master was coming to see him, he went to receive him personally. Long Bo was satisfied with his piety.
After entering Han Li’s cultivation abode, Great Elder Long Bo set up a formation to isolate all spying from the outside. Then, he took out a crystal ball with flashing dark electricity inside.
"What is this in your hand, master?’’ asked Han Li.
"This is divine punishment thunder weakened and sealed by the sect’s Emperor Formation."
Han Li was shocked when he heard this. In the past seven days, he witnessed the destructive power of Divine Punishment Thunder. Even with his Heavenly Thunder Physique, he was scared by the power.
"Master, why do you have it in your hands?"
"I want you to refine this divine punishment thunder. With this, not only will your strength increase, but your physique will be strengthened to the point of being in part with the top 5 Heavenly Physiques."
Upon hearing this, Han Li immediately shook his head. "No, no, master, please don’t make me do this. This is thunder powerful enough to kill Great Emperors."
"Li’er, you do not have to worry about this. This thunder has been weakened by the sect’s formation. Furthermore, with your Heavenly Thunder Physique and my assistance, you can succeed."
"No, no, no, master, please don’t make me do it. I could die instantly if something goes wrong."
Long Bo looked at his disciples with a look of disappointment deep in his eyes. Compared with the young sect master who faced the will of Heaven directly and won, his disciples cannot even compare to his shoes.
However, since he is his disciple, he is responsible for properly training him. Suddenly, Long Bo made a decision.
"Don’t you want to know the reason that your foundation has weakened in the past few years, and even your strength has digressed?"
Upon hearing this, Han Li was interested. Since a few years ago, all those things happened to him. When he asked his master, he just told him that something went wrong with his cultivation. Now, it seemed there might be more to the situation than he previously thought.
"Master, please tell me. Is there something wrong with my practice?"
Then, Great Elder Long Bo explained to Han Li what Wang Wei and the sect did to him. As soon as he finished, a great amount of thunder started ravaging the entire room.
All the walls had cracks and burn marks all over them. The only sitting cushion in the room was pulverized into million pieces. If it was not Long Bo’s formation that blocked the power, the entire manners might have been razed to the ground.
"Master, I will definitely refine this thunder," said Han Li through gritted teeth. He decided to spend all his time creating a method that allows him to refine not just this divine thunder, but all thunder. Great Elder Long Bo nodded in satisfaction and decided to provide his disciples with all the resources he needed.
Meanwhile, while the Dao Opening Sect was recuperating from the traumas of the past week, all the other factions of the world were discussing Wang Wei and their next course action.
In the Enlightening Emperor Academy, headmaster Bai Han was having a meeting with all the teachers of the academy. So, he asked:
"What do you think we should do now?"
The room instantly became quiet. All of them had a worried look on their face. The excellency of Dao Opening Sect’s young master excited their comprehension and willingness to accept.
"Why don’t we hire the Death Order Palace to kill him?" suddenly said one teacher.
However, one person shook his head and replied, "No, if we hire an assassin, we will be breaking the unspoken rule."
"Furthermore, there is no guarantee of success when it comes to the Dao Opening Sect. And once they find out, they can also take action against Lin Fan in the Lower Realm," added another person.
"So, are we not going to do anything?"
Suddenly, headmaster Bai Hai lightly coughed and the room became silent with all eyes focused on him. He then said, "In that case, let us send the Chaos Qi to Lin Fan for him to refine. With it, his Absolute Chaos Physique will take another step."
Immediately afterward, one person stood up and said, "Headmaster, you can’t. This is the only Chaos Qi that the academy has and is used as a our secret foundation."
Although the other teachers did not say anything, just by their silence, you could tell that they also agreed.
Headmaster Bai Hai sighed when he saw their response. He could not blame them. The Chaos Qi was indeed too valuable. It could instantly allow a mortal to reach the Saint Realm without side effects.
It could allow a Lower Thousand World to upgrade to Middle Thousand World, and Middle Thousand World to upgrade to Great Thousand World. There are even rumors that it can allow a Great Thousand World to evolve into a Heaven Mandate world.
More importantly, the Chaos Qi can be used to create Emperor level Artifacts or Pills. Knowing the value of this qi, Bai Han still insisted on giving it to Lin Fan. However, he needed to convince the other teachers first.
He said, "I know many of you might be unwilling, but at the rate that the young master of the Dao Opening Sect is growing, there is a high probability that he would be like his father and suppress all the Heaven Chosen of his generation."
"Although the Chaos Qi is valuable, but only when placed into use. With Lin Fan’s Absolute Chaos Physique, once he proves the Dao, he can return to the academy with ten times more Chaos Qi. I sincerely doubt that without it, he would be worthy to fight Young master Wang Wei."
Although the teachers still had a little reluctance, they still agreed to provide their Heaven Chosen with the Chaos Qi. And it was not just this. They also agree to send Lin Fan to the Abyss Battlefield, which is a place controlled by the academy where he would experience endless slaughter, day and night without rest in order to hone his fighting ability.
In fact it was not just the Enlightening Emperor Academy that made such a drastic move. All the powerful factions in the world who had a Heaven Chosen that they believed had a chance at the throne made the same decision as headmaster Bai Han.
The next day, after a long and good sleep, Wang Wei woke up more refreshed than ever. He called one of his maids to bring him somewhere.
After going through a few formations, Wang Wei found himself in a dark room with a lake that had lightning blasting everywhere, and the lightning was black.
This was the previous divine punishment thunder stored in this room, and it managed to liquify. The entire lake in the room was actually liquid thunder.
Wang Wei turned his head and asked the maid, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"Yes, young master. I saw Great Elder Long Bo take something from the formation."
Wang Wei patted her shoulder and said, "Good job. When Wang Ju returns, I will tell her to give you more responsibility."
The maid immediately bowed and said, "I was just doing my job, young master."
Wang Wei smiled, looked in a certain direction, then muttered, "Another bait has been cast. Hopefully, the fish will not disappoint me."
