Chapter 768: Chapter 64: War Breaks Out Between the Two Sects
"But if it’s as Brother Lin said, comprehending various types of Martial Path Wills, this situation would occur."
Zeng Xi raised his hand again, and another beam of light appeared. This time, not only did a long sword appear on the light beam, but also a long spear. The long sword and long spear grew together, but when they reached a certain point, each occupied half of the light beam, and finally, the light beam split in two.
"Divine Soul tearing. When it reaches its limit, the Divine Soul collapses, and the person becomes useless."
"Thank you, Brother Zeng, for the explanation."
Lin Chen suddenly realized, and Zeng Xi smiled and said, "Brother Lin, no need to be polite. I think your sect’s elders didn’t tell you these things. They might assume you probably already knew, after all, this is common knowledge in the Flame Dynasty’s Martial Arts Realm. Your sect might have overlooked that Brother Lin came from a desolate martial world."
Senior Xie, I apologize.
After saying this, Zeng Xi silently apologized in his heart. Elder Bai wanted him to befriend Lin Chen with the goal of eventually bringing Lin Chen to their Thousand Mechanism Sect.
The Canglan Sect would certainly not let him go, so they had to make Lin Chen’s view of the Canglan Sect worsen, leading him to choose to leave on his own.
His words were meant to sow discord.
Neglect, doesn’t it mean being disregarded?
In fact, Zeng Xi knew very well why that Senior Xie hadn’t told Lin Chen these things: because it wasn’t necessary.
Even talents like them, possessing one flawless level Martial Path Will was already the limit. It was impossible to possess a second flawless level Martial Path Will because their Divine Souls couldn’t bear a second one.
In Zeng Xi’s opinion, Senior Xie should plan to inform Lin Chen after he acquired a flawless level Martial Path Will in the Canglan Secret Realm.
However, wasn’t that Senior Xie worried about Lin Chen attempting to capture a refined level Martial Path Will?
With Lin Chen’s Divine Soul strength, he could still possess two refined level Martial Path Wills.
Zeng Xi had this doubt because he didn’t know that Lin Chen already had the Martial Arts Mountain’s points as a safety net. Under the flawless level, Martial Path Wills wouldn’t catch his eye, and the problem he worried about simply didn’t exist.
"Brother Zeng, wait here for a moment. Let me go perceive the flawless level Long Halberd Martial Path Will."
"?"
Hearing Lin Chen’s words, Zeng Xi was stunned. Lin Chen already possessed a flawless level Martial Path Will and still wanted to get a second one?
But after a moment’s thought, Zeng Xi realized he misunderstood.
The purpose of Lin Chen was probably just to gain insight.
Defeating the Canglan Beast didn’t necessarily mean absorbing and comprehending the Martial Path Will; he could choose to give it up as well.
If it weren’t for him not yet comprehending a suitable Martial Path Will and wanting to preserve strength, he wouldn’t have exited that water bubble. If he had found one already, he would have had a bout with that Canglan Beast by now.
The Canglan Beast transformed from a flawless level Martial Path Will is akin to a peak-level Innate First Realm martial artist. Engaging with the Canglan Beast is equivalent to fighting a martial artist, providing experience for encounters with martial artists who possess such Wills in the future.
"Brother Lin is indeed a battle maniac, so I wish Brother Lin great success in battle."
Upon hearing Zeng Xi’s words, Lin Chen knew Zeng Xi misunderstood his intention, but that was exactly what he wanted. He could not possibly tell Zeng Xi that he genuinely intended to comprehend that flawless level Martial Path Will.
Even if the Thousand Mechanism Sect and the Canglan Domain had no grievances, and although he got along relatively well with Zeng Xi, it’s still wise to remain cautious.
...
Seeing Lin Chen’s figure entering the multicolored water bubble he previously entered, Zeng Xi also fixed his gaze on the sea surface, waiting for a new Martial Path Will bubble to emerge.
However, after dozens of breaths, Zeng Xi’s gaze fell on the figure of a man nearby.
"Sir, you must be a senior brother from the Blood Moon Sect. May I know how to address you?"
"Yue Shan."
"So it’s Brother Yue."
Zeng Xi smiled and spoke. With his character, he typically wouldn’t meddle too much, but this Yue Shan caught his attention as he had never attempted to capture a Canglan Beast since everyone arrived here.
Everyone’s purpose of coming here is to defeat the Canglan Beast and obtain a Martial Path Will. Even if they can’t win, they can simply give up, and if successful, they gain a great deal.
"Brother Yue, have you not found a Martial Path Will that you fancy?"
Yue Shan shook his head and smiled wryly, "I know full well my strength is no match for everyone else’s. The reason I could secure a spot from the sect to come to the Canglan Secret Realm this time was due to good luck. Given my strength, I don’t have many chances for trial and error, so I’m reserving my strength to handle a Canglan Beast that’s suitable for me."
Zeng Xi understood Yue Shan’s intentions. Like him earlier, although he entered the water bubble, the Martial Path Will inside didn’t suit him, so he chose to give up.
Choosing to abandon rather than being defeated by the Canglan Beast means the water bubble won’t disappear. If someone happens to be interested in the Long Halberd Martial Path Will, they can go directly inside without selecting one from the start.
He could exit undamaged because of his strong Divine Soul perception, allowing him to withdraw promptly, but it doesn’t mean others can also exit undamaged every time.
Yue Shan’s choice was wise.
Having gotten the answer, Zeng Xi no longer paid attention to Yue Shan. When another multicolored water bubble emerged from the sea, his figure transformed into a light arc and shot toward it.
On the beach, with both Zeng Xi and two disciples from the Canglan Sect entering the water bubble, only Yue Shan remained.
Yue Shan’s expression was uncertain, his hand reaching into the Hundred Objects Box in his chest. In the next moment, a crimson flower appeared in his hand.
