Chapter 1408: Secret Power of Will
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After Han Fei became the supreme commander, he immediately got the feeling when he planned the City of Justice. At that time, he and Ximen Linglan were so busy all day long that they didn’t even have time to rest.
But now Han Fei certainly wouldn’t devote all his time to the planning and construction of the Scattered Stars Island.
At this moment, in the Marshal’s Mansion.
There were seven or eight plates of fruits on Han Fei’s table, and Xue Shenqi was sitting opposite him.
Yesterday, the representatives of the big clans, including the six Venerables, came together with the intention of negotiating with Han Fei. However, they were rejected by Han Fei. They almost fell out on the spot and were scolded away.
Han Fei declared that if they didn’t bring resources next time, the big clans on the Scattered Stars Island would be the enemy of millions of people. It must be noted that the Scattered Stars Island had millions of people. Unlike in the 36 towns, every person here was an elite.
Today, the big clans hadn’t come.
Han Fei invited Xue Shenqi over for a talk. Over the past few days, Han Fei had been troubled by a few questions and wanted to ask Xue Shenqi for an explanation.
Han Fei said, “Marshal Xue, I’ve been too busy these past few days. I have too many questions to ask you.”
Xue Shenqi said with a sullen face, “First of all, I’m not the supreme commander now. We don’t know each other well. You can just call me Mr. Xue. If there’s anything, just say it.”
Han Fei grinned and said, “I think Mr. Xue must be puzzled. I went to the Empyrean Waterfall, but why did I suddenly appear in the Sea of Pearls?”
Xue Shenqi nodded. “That’s right. You can’t have come from the Scattered Stars Island. It means that there is a channel under the Empyrean Waterfall that leads directly to the Sea of Pearls.”
Han Fei couldn’t help but sigh. Xue Shenqi was really smart. But that was the truth. Since you didn’t come here on the main road, you must have come here by a side road.
Han Fei immediately said, “Mr. Xue, do you know what kind of creature is under the Empyrean Waterfall?”
Xue Shenqi shook his head. “I don’t know! But since you went down, didn’t you take away the king’s corpse?”
Han Fei thought to himself, I did take away most of the things inside. The world contained in the Cloud Whale’s demonic origin has returned to reality. Now, except for that body, there is only some diluted Spirit Awakening Fluid left.
In the next few decades, the number of Spirit Awakening Fluid might increase again and he could collect Spirit Awakening Fluid from there continuously. But the battle was imminent, so he obviously didn’t have the time. Now, the only thing he could use was the huge corpse of the Cloud Whale.
If it was used to refine Divine Weapons, there was no telling how many tens of thousands of pieces the corpse could refine. But how could the corpse of a king only have the use of refining Divine Weapons?
Whether it was the corpse of a king or the corpse of a Venerable, it could be used to comprehend Great Daos, which was why everyone wanted it.
Especially the king’s bones, it was the essence of his Great Dao. If one could absorb it, it would be of great help to comprehending the Great Dao and the King realm.
With the experience from last time, Han Fei could go there at any time now. However, he was not in a hurry to comprehend it. The Cloud Whale’s corpse was there. Anyway, it couldn’t escape.
The Ten Thousand Demon Valley started a series of battles, Han Fei didn’t believe that the number of people there was really endless. Two Venerables of them had died. Would they not take it seriously at all and still dare to invade?
Regarding Xue Shenqi’s question, Han Fei shook his head slightly. “How can I just take away the corpse of a king so easily? However, I have a guess. Maybe, there was another person who went in before.”
“Impossible!”
Xue Shenqi frowned. “If someone had entered that place before, the Star Turtle would’ve known. Besides, if that person had the ability to enter that place without being detected, why did he leave the corpse there?”
Han Fei said, “As we all know, twelve-year-old children need Spirit Awakening Fluid when they’re awakened. And the Spirit Awakening Fluid seems to be something that only the king’s Dao runes can produce. If that person took away the corpse back then, then we humans would have no Spirit Awakening Fluid to use. Although someone can awaken naturally, the overall strength of humans would have inevitably decreased.”
Xue Shenqi couldn’t help looking at Han Fei. “Huh? Since you said that, I guess you’ve known who that person is?”
Han Fei paused. “Mr. Xue, do you know Tang Yan?”
Xue Shenqi’s eyelids twitched slightly, and he looked at Han Fei quietly. “Are you talking about the supreme commander of the Scattered Stars Island a thousand years ago?”
Han Fei grinned. “It seems that you know this person.”
Xue Shenqi said, “I have been in charge of the Scattered Stars Island for so many years, so I naturally know. Tang Yan is a genius. He served as the supreme commander for five years. It can be said that he was the supreme commander with the shortest term in the history of Scattered Stars Island. But this person became Venerable on the seventh day of the throne. After three years, he surpa.s.sed the intermediate Venerable realm, and after five years, he reached the advanced Venerable realm. In the end, because Tang Yan’s strength improved too fast, it caused a big battle between humans and sea demons. It was also in that battle that the sea demon Royal City completely faded out of human vision, and even its shadow couldn’t be found. As for Tang Yan, he seemed to have left, saying that he was going to find the sea demon Royal City. Therefore, he resigned as the supreme commander.”
What Xue Shenqi said was actually a bit rough.
Han Fei had already read all the information about Tang Yan. However, the information seemed to have been deliberately left behind. It was like a resume, recording all the great things that Tang Yan had done … But the Cloud Whale was never mentioned.
And Star Turtle once said that the Cloud Whale was brought back by Tang Yan.
This didn’t make sense. There must be something wrong with Tang Yan.
Because of this, Han Fei didn’t touch the corpse of the Cloud Whale. There must be some secrets in it that he hadn’t figured out.
Xue Shenqi narrowed his eyes and looked at Han Fei. “Has Tang Yan been there?”
Han Fei nodded slightly. “According to some traces, it should be possible. I need to check the specific situation again.”
Han Fei didn’t intend to tell Xue Shenqi now. Now he was sure that Xue Shenqi knew much less than he did. Then, there might be some other secrets. He’d better wait and see.
Seeing that Han Fei was perfunctory, Xue Shenqi didn’t ask further.
Xue Shenqi asked, “Are you done?”
Han Fei said, “Well, there’s something else.”
Han Fei said, “A few days ago, I checked the time when the previous supreme commanders became Venerables at Elder Chen’s place. They all had one thing in common, which was that before they became supreme commanders, they were all at the Explorer level. There was even one person who became the supreme commander when he was only a junior Explorer because of his intelligence. And it usually takes these people no more than 30 years from the moment they became supreme commanders to the moment they became Venerables. Just now, the intelligent powerhouse I mentioned took 27 years to go from a junior Explorer to a Venerable.”
Han Fei was not a fool. Although he cultivated very quickly, how many opportunities had he taken to walk so fast?
However, these guys who could become the supreme commanders all cultivated at an abnormally fast speed. Only two of them used more than 30 years to enter the Venerable realm.
Among them, Xue Shenqi was the one who took the longest time. It took him 50 years to become a Venerable.
As for Old Han, according to the records, it took him 21 years.
However, after knowing Old Han’s life, Han Fei felt that Old Han must have done it on purpose. By logic, Old Han’s strength should have dropped from a very high realm. He was already a Venerable. Why would he need 21 years to become a Venerable again?
Among them, Tang Yan was the fastest. It only took him five years to go from a peak-level Explorer to an advanced Venerable, so fast that the sea demons even initiated a great battle to kill Tang Yan.
Xue Shenqi looked at Han Fei calmly. “With your intelligence, you should have noticed it.”
Han Fei nodded. “Of course I did. When I stood in front of millions of people, when I became the person everyone wanted me to be, I felt the Power of Will.”
Han Fei asked the old turtle this question.
The old turtle said that this power was a kind of power of the Great Dao between the heavens and earth, used to repair the Dao heart. If the Dao heart was firm, one could become a king, or even an Emperor, and be omnipotent.
Han Fei had asked Ning Jing about it too. Ning Jing was at a loss and didn’t feel anything about it.
The old turtle said, “Ning Jing doesn’t walk this path, so if Ning Jing wants to become a king, her way of becoming a king will be different from yours. The Power of Will in the Water-Wood World should go to Queen Life, not Ning Jing.”
Han Fei felt that this Power of Will might only belong to the leader of the race. The old turtle talked about the Dao heart. Ning Jing couldn’t feel it, but Xue Shenqi should be able to feel it.
“Power of Will?”
Xue Shenqi thought for a moment. “That’s a good word. In this case, there’s an explanation for this power.”
Xue Shenqi said, “You can try fusing this energy with the Great Dao … I don’t know what this power is exactly, but I think it’s the power of faith. Under the nourishment of this power for a long time, the cultivation speed doubles, the perception of strength becomes stronger, and the perception of the Great Dao becomes more sensitive. Therefore, this is why all the supreme commanders make breakthroughs quickly.”
“Fuse it with the Great Dao?”
Seeing that Han Fei was a little stunned, Xue Shen got up and said, “This power can help you become a Venerable, or even a king. However, the Power of Will merely from the people on the Scattered Stars Island is not enough. If you want to become a king on this road, you have to hold the 36 towns in your hand.. This is why I didn’t stop you from revealing the Unknown Place to the 36 towns.”
