Free Web NovelChapter 946: Chapter 194: Encouragement with You
In the turbulent waves, a tranquil region was isolated by a formidable power.
"The Blood King is rather cunning," a voice said within a suspended, crystal-clear droplet of water.
In a motionless, cyan-colored wind, a voice declared, "From Yu Siqing, a commander with great potential, to the Blood King, a True King qualified to challenge the Emperor, that Wan Tong actually gave no warning at all. He just watched, never interfered."
"Wei Xun, your plan has failed," a voice thundered without seeming abrupt.
"Indeed," Wei Xun’s expression remained calm as he lightly laughed, "I invited you all here in hopes of glimpsing the location of Wan Tong’s true body. Then to delve into the Cang Sea, assassinate him, and interrupt the Sea Clan’s evolution, resolving the century-old plight of the human race. It appears now that I have indeed failed. Wan Tong is more cautious than I imagined. On the End of the World Platform, he almost shifted his gaze, and I thought he was unrestrained. It seems that might have just been a trial in the Near Sea."
"You casually placed pieces to make Wan Tong pay attention to the prodigies of the human race, yet Wan Tong simply did not care. You then meticulously arranged for emerging talents of the Sea Clan to encounter dangers unnoticed, yet Wan Tong still remained silent. Bringing in the Blood King involved many secret moves, and now the Blood King has fled, Wan Tong is nowhere to be found... so many of us waited here, and this operation achieved nothing."
The thunder-like voice said, "Originally at least, by utilizing control over the displacement of the Lost World, a magnificent battle could have been initiated."
Wei Xun, eyes tranquil as the Silent Sea, remained undisturbed: "No need to regret what has already been missed. They are just disrupting the rules again, and I simply have to find the pattern anew. To begin again, I still have the upper hand."
"But the element of surprise in controlling the displacement in the Lost World is gone."
"If it’s gone, it’s gone. The outcomes in three or five regions won’t affect the overall situation. The only concern is Wan Tong..." Wei Xun sighed lightly, "Having missed this chance, he must have sensed something and will only hide deeper."
"If you ask me, there’s no need to always think about weakening the opponent. Strengthening oneself is the essence," the voice in the wind said.
The voice in the droplet replied, "You mean..."
"Gentlemen," Wang Ao’s voice jumped in at this moment, "Am I not needed anymore?"
He was not yet a True Monarch, but his potential to become one was foreseeable, making him almost a True Monarch in strength. This time, Wei Xun had used private relationships to gather four True Monarchs; together with him, they nearly constituted the formidable force of five True Monarchs, aiming to delve deep into the Cang Sea and eradicate Wan Tong in one fell swoop.
At the level of Yan Dao and the Emperor, any scheme targeting them would be detected if it even slightly hinted at its presence. Compared to intricate and densely interconnected arrangements, natural actions are indeed of first importance.
In this game, Jiang Wang’s act of saving others was entirely voluntary. Going to the Lost World to cleanse sins, all his actions within the Lost World were his own choices.
But naturally, they attracted the attention of the Sea Clan. From Yu Wangu to Shuiying Shuang, from the White Elephant King to the Blood King, everything unfolded naturally. Wang Ao, who was in the Lost World training his disciples, encountering the Blood King and resisting him was also quite rational.
Even Jiang Wang himself wasn’t important, even if he died by Granny Bizhu’s hand. Other events would still "naturally" happen. He merely happened to be there, becoming a part in the smooth operation.
Only through such means, was it possible for the terrifying power, watching all the Sea Clan from an unknown place, to potentially move from observation to interference.
Unfortunately, it ultimately still failed.
Wang Ao had always journeyed alone in Tian Ya, refining his martial arts system, unconcerned with anything else. Since the plan had failed, there was no reason for him to stay any longer.
Wei Xun chuckled, "Mr. Wang, please feel free to leave."
He maintained considerable respect for this figure who was forging a future path in the martial arts system, even though the other was not yet a True Monarch.
"Wang Ao," the thundering voice suddenly said, "Did you see the scenery ahead?"
Wang Ao paused, "For us martial artists, until our fists hit, only then can it be said we’ve seen."
What the eyes see is an illusion. What the fists hit is the truth.
"Please, try your best," the thundering voice said.
How difficult is it to tread an entirely new path?
The stronger the individual, the more they can feel and understand the difficulty of this task.
Facing the Heaven and Earth Gate, facing the fog of ignorance, facing the distant Star Vault... each step a cultivator takes has been paved with innumerable predecessors’ lessons, exploring all the dangers and possibilities.
Thus, there are those who have attained Daoist Sect skills even before leaving the Outer Building and thus the cultivation path flourishes.
But martial arts are different.
Whether it’s the Daoist, the scholarly, or the militaristic schools, though they are all distinct sects with unique perspectives and thoughts, of great pioneering significance, they all fit within the ancient framework of the Taoist Sect.
The Martial Arts System was a new path.
The three layers were not difficult, the nine layers were not difficult, the fifteen layers were not considered difficult either, because for thousands of years, predecessors had already blazed the trail, but the further one went, the more unfamiliar it became.
There was no one left on the road ahead.
Every step taken, until it was set, one could not determine whether it led to a higher layer or plunged into the abyss!
Before Wang Ao, how many once-dazzling geniuses had fallen into the abyss, how many former Martial Arts practitioners who had walked ahead of Wang Ao had been crushed to death.
This path was so difficult, so dangerous, yet why, for thousands of years, did people continue to explore it?
Because it represented another possibility in cultivation.
A race that actively cuts off possibilities is doomed to have no future.
Thus, determined individuals followed one after another.
"Worldly Dao seekers, I am not alone. The Dao of the world, not just one sect."
Wang Ao said, "Let us encourage each other!"
...
...
Crescent Island.
Within a lavishly decorated residence.
Chongxuan Sheng, Shisi, Li Longchuan, Yan Fu, Xu Xiangqian, Zhao Wuyan, Zi Shu... Except for Li Fengyao who had to return to Binghuang Island earlier, almost all of Jiang Wang’s friends from the Near Sea Archipelago were gathered here.
Jiang Wuyou, who had invested a huge amount, was squinting her phoenix eyes, staring intently at the hanging Marine Rankings.
With their family backgrounds, securing a Marine Rankings was not a difficult task.
This was Yan Fu’s specially purchased residence, located in the core area of Huai Island. Only because they wanted to stay on Crescent Island for a few days and didn’t want to crowd into an inn, Young Master Yan, with a wave of his hand, overpaid for a suite. The original owner happily moved out overnight, taking nothing with him.
Many seated here came from families no less prestigious than Yan Fu’s, but none had resources as abundant as his...
Ever since Xu Xiangqian suffered the gorgeous backlash, these friends of Jiang Wang frequently exchanged information, and in the recent days, they were watching the Marine Rankings all day, waiting for the final results.
Jiang Wang’s name turned from red to green, the numbers behind his name rising and halting intermittently, pulling at all their heartstrings.
After all, information was hard to transmit in the Lost World; they couldn’t advocate too many connections, merely to know Jiang Wang’s current situation. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
When the number behind Jiang Wang’s name on the Marine Rankings froze at one hundred and four, the entire yard erupted.
"It’s done!" Chongxuan Sheng slammed his own bulky left palm, the usually deeply thoughtful him couldn’t help showing his joy, and he rushed out of the residence straight to the End of the World Platform.
"That’s great! I knew Jiang Wang could do it!" Xu Xiangqian was especially thrilled, showing extreme excitement. He immediately embraced Zhao Wuyan who was next to him, with tears brimming in his eyes: "Worthy of being my brother, Xu Xiangqian, I am so happy!"
Bang!
The whole yard, used to such events, followed one after another, all heading to the End of the World Platform.
For a moment, the yard was empty.
Only Xu Xiangqian was left lying alone on the ground, lying there for a long time.
