Chapter 1033 Return
1033 Return
Two hundred years pa.s.sed, and many people thought the world would be quiet and peaceful until a hundred years later, when the next court meeting would occur. However, today would be a day to remember.
Heavenly Court:
w.a.n.g Wei opened his eyes and exhaled, "It"s already time?" He summoned the Qi Luck of the entire world to block the Myriad Emperor World from all types of foreign eyes; he did not want an ounce of what was about to happen to be leaked, at least not for a while.
Boom!
The entire world suddenly changed as visions enveloped every corner: golden lotus, Dao Sounds, Purple Qi From The East, Sacred Beasts, Sage chanting or preaching-everything was present. Afterward, seven individuals with n.o.ble and awe-inspiring aura appeared floating above the sky. The world was boiling as the people recognized these seven individuals and realized what they"d become.
The people realized the previous battle was not simple and held a great secret, most likely connected to the Heavenly Court. Sadly, those who knew the truth remained quiet.
After these people showed their presence to the world, they immediately headed to the court to see w.a.n.g Wei, and they were all shocked. They had previously known how powerful he was, but it was a completely different experience to witness it themselves, especially in their current realm and strength.
"I have seen your majesty, the Heavenly Emperor." (7X)
"At ease," said w.a.n.g Wei. While these people were checking him out, he was also doing the same, observing each of them closely. Yin Gen had now reached the third step of the ten steps in the Dragon-Phoenix Realm. His battle prowess should be in the middle of the 5-Fold Battle Realm.
Lin Fan had also achieved the 5-Fold Battle Realm, but he should be on the lower end and slightly weaker than Yin Gen. Jian Wushuang achieved the 3-Fold Battle Realm, but it was the peak; with only a little push, he can achieve 4-Fold. Zhen Biyu was also 3-Fold, but she was more in the middle and lower tier. Jingwu Hua and Xiao Songxi achieved 2-Fold with slight differences, while Yang Guowei had 1-Fold Battle Strength.
However, both Xiao Songxi and Yang Guowei were only Pseudo Eternals and not the genuine type.
"Yang Guowei is burdened by his father"s actions while Xiao Songxi was disturbed by what happened with the Sea Clan," a.n.a.lyzed w.a.n.g Wei. Those two, along with Jingwu Hua, were the type of Eternal Talents that were not guaranteed success; in other words, their ability to become Eternal hinged on their performance while absorbing the Heaven"s Will.
Jingwu Hua"s state of mind was strengthened and sublimated after speaking with her father and finding purpose for her life, she performed to the best of her ability and became an Eternal. Sadly, these two failed.
"Tell me everything you experienced after ascending."
Lin Fan stepped and explained everything; he did not hide anything. He told w.a.n.g Wei everything they saw and experienced, including the mirror test, the contract, absorbing the Heaven Will, and contacting their factions afterward. Unfortunately, only Lin Fan received some acknowledgment from Emperor Kong, while the others were still silent.
"So far, there doesn"t seem to be any issue," thought w.a.n.g Wei. "Did they brief on the general situation of the war?"
"They gave us an information jade that explained the overall situation."
"Can you show it to me, or is that restricted information?"
"Besides a few minor things, I can show you the rest," replied Lin Fan as he sent the information. w.a.n.g Wei shook his head. The thing was not detailed enough, but he did not know whether this information was left out or the Rebellion simply did not know. Luckily, he learned a very crucial piece of information that he was not privy to prior: Maitreya and Supreme Unity disappeared a few hundred years ago.
No, they disappeared precisely around the time he contacted Empyrean Jimin.
"Did Maitreya force him out of the Eternal Ascension World to limit his influence in this chess game, or did they disappear for an entirely different reason?" a.n.a.lyzed w.a.n.g Wei. He was leading more on the former since the timing was too coincidental.
He focused back on the ground and sent them the information he knew in much greater detail. He started with the Ultimate Taboo, talked about the seven moons, two suns" rise to power, and their split, and even mentioned the Path of Transcendence. Although w.a.n.g Wei still hid a lot of information, he provided them with a lot more information than the Rebellion gave them.
Then, he waited for more than ten minutes as these people processed this information.
"Do you know why I told you all this information?"
Lin Fan smiled wryly as he understood. They now had a more comprehensive understanding of the situation, thus making it easier for them to make good decisions and prevent the Rebellion from taking advantage of their ignorance. w.a.n.g Wei"s tactic is an excellent way to prevent them from becoming these people"s p.a.w.ns, but they inadvertently became his p.a.w.n in the process.
"You shouldn"t have told us this information," said Yin Gen. "We won"t be able to hide it from the people above."
"No one can divine or deduce the information since it will trigger a response from those two," he explained. "So, you"re only concerned with protecting it from your memory. As soon as you return, contact your factions with this information."
He looked at Lin Fan:
"Emperor Kong should know something, but it will still be valuable to him. As for you guys? Your faction will want to know how you learn such secrets and should contact you."
w.a.n.g Wei was sure these moons would temper with history and hide many secrets.
"The only issue is you two." His eyes s.h.i.+fted to Yang Guowei and Xiao Songxi. "Emperor Kong should have no issue helping you protect your mind. Honestly, I have no issue if you guys sell the information for more benefit, but you should understand what can be sold and what should be kept a secret."
"We understand," replied Lin Fan, who was secretly sighing. He was already feeling the effect of an inferior background. Unfortunately, he could not help it since the Academy was simply too young and lacked history.
"How long can you guys stay?"
"A maximum of 300 years, but it"s best to leave as soon as possible." Once they descended to the lower realm, they received a notice from True Heavenly Dao.
"In that case, get your affairs in order and leave."
Everyone saluted w.a.n.g Wei before dispersing in different directions. Lin Fan appeared outside of the Academy and turned around to look in the court"s direction: "The Path of Transcendence?" His eyes had an unknown glint before disappearing. Many people were waiting for him, but he went straight to his wife.
He held her in his arms before spilling out his guts. He told her everything he experienced, including the meeting a few minutes ago.
"The situation has become more complicated and dangerous," sighed Xu s.h.i.+.
"Yes, but the greater the danger also means more benefit. Plus, I now have concrete proof of the way forward." Since these two suns achieved Half-Step Transcendence, it means it"s possible, and a feasible method exists.
"You have a point." Xu s.h.i.+ knew she would not be able to escape the upcoming war. Her delayed ascension only meant she had a long time to prepare and get stronger.
"What"s your plan before you leave? Do you even have time to do anything?"
"The first major thing is to preach and repay my karma to the world."
"You still owe the world karma?"
"Yes, but not as much as you guys. Regardless, since it"s my home, I will do my best to take care of it," replied Lin Fan. "After that, I should have time to leave a formation and artifact for the sect."
The formation was easier to set up, but the artifact could cause some issues. If the sect already has a Quasi-Emperor Weapon prepared, he only needs to nourish it with the Grand Dao Source and fuse his weapon"s projection into it. However, if they want him to refine a better Emperor Artifact for them, that would require more time and better resources.
"What about the Dao Ancestors, Immortal Venerables, and Insurgents?"
"I will send the Grand Dao Source Seeds and Immortal Mansions when w.a.n.g Wei exchanges the next batches of candidates." Lin Fan momentarily paused at the absurdity of this statement.
"As for my Insurgents, I have prepared the resources and instructions, but you need to complete it for me."
"It"s good that you"re prepared for everything," nodded Xu s.h.i.+. "But what about our situation? Have you made a decision?"
"Yes. I was thinking about leaving an immortal clone to accompany them while we continued our pursuit of Grand Dao." This chapter"s initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.
Lin Fan did not hear from her for a few seconds, so he swiftly added, "I can even modify their memories so they don"t know about my main body." He felt it would be terrible on his conscience if he just abandoned everybody after everything they"ve gone through.
"This may be the best choice."
