Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 574

Chapter 574 Unionized

"Young master Wang Wei, what is your question?" Lord Spirit said.

"What is your purpose in bringing these geniuses from the Upper Dimension?"

Lord Spirit frowned. "Of course, to test all the participants and choose the best person to inherit the master's mantle."

"That's what I thought. So, what are you doing to deal with the political ramification of these upper-dimension geniuses' existence and ensure we can do our best for this trial?"

"I'm not following."

"Alright, let me direct. These people's backgrounds are a problem. How do we know they would not retaliate against us after we defeat them? How are we supposed to fight to the fullest of our abilities if we have to worry about the possible revenge from the upper dimension?"

The participants looked Lord Spirit, their eyes saying that this was a valid concern. Suddenly, Ao Tianyi snorted coldly: "You people think too highly of yourself."

Wang Wei glanced at him before looking back at Lord Spirit. "See. If it were not for his background, I would have long used his scale for armor, his muscle for bows, consumed his blood for its vitality, and his flesh for the taste. But now, what I can I do."

Wang Wei felt an intense killing intent locking him; he ignored him before feigning a shocked look on his face. "Oh my god; how stupid of me; I've already offended him. What am I going to do?"

"You should indeed be scared. Do you think the Dao Opening Sect is what it used to be? Our dragon race can easily slaughter it."

"You and I both know as long as the name of our two Boundless Paragon exists, nothing will happen to the Dao Opening Sect," Wang Wei replied casually, making Ao Tianyi red in embarrassment; he did not think the latter knew so much about the upper dimension.

'Interesting,' thought Wang Wei. He noticed four of the upper seeded player react once he mentioned the Boundless Paragon of the Dao Opening Sect. However, Zhang Yucheng and Monk Wuzhi seemed not to care, as if these titles held no weight against them, no, against their factions. So, he took note of this reaction.

Wang Wei then looked directly at Lord Spirit. "See? All I had to is use a little spiritual hint to make him angry, and he began to threaten me with his background. So, how am I supposed to fight them fairly, knowing they might retaliate?

"Although the Deceiving Heaven Longevity Art is an Insurgent technique, and most definitely a Longevity Scripture, it is not worth risking my life and the possible destruction of my faction."

The lower-seeded players and other participants quickly analyzed much information. It made sense that this scripture was a Longevity Resource, hence why even the upper-dimension geniuses were interested.

Subsequently, the possibility of retaliation was a genuine problem. Logically, it made no sense to risk their life for this trial.

"You don't have to worry about retaliation," said Xi Shangyan. "We have our own pride, and so do the factions behind us."

"But how do I know of this?" replied Wang Wei. "I've only met you today."

"Young Master Wang Wei, you can be reassured regarding this," said Monk Wuzhi. "You have my words, and the words of Buddhism, that no one will retaliate against you and the others."

"Monk Wuzhi, I'm sure Buddhism's reputation is enough to guarantee our protection. But this is the lower dimension; Buddhism has no reputation as a basis for us to judge. And we cannot just go by your words."

Monk Wuzhi frowned, along with the others next to him. Xiao Tiandi still had his eyes closed, while Ao Tianyi was trying extremely hard to control his anger. At the same time, he tried to detect how he was so easily spiritually influenced without noticing.

"So, what exactly do you want?" said Lord Spirit with slight anger.

"Dao Oath. I want them to swear an Oath not to Heavenly Dao but to Grand Dao itself that their faction will not retaliate against us–directly and indirectly. I don't want any loopholes."

"Nonsense," roared Ao Tianyi. Grand Dao Oath was the most restrictive oath; it was one not even Paragons could break.

"Who are you to demand such a thing of us?" said Zhang Yucheng with a sneer.

"Young Master Wei, it appears your request was too much."

Wang Wei sipped his tea calmly. "By your response, it seems all of you already planned to get this inheritance by any means–even fouls one."

"This has nothing to do with retaliation," said Shi Ruolan. "No cultivator likes to be restricted. And taking an oath for such a trivial matter, it's even worse."

"Sound like excuses to me."

"And what will happen if they don't swear?" asked Lord Spirit, staring straight at Wang Wei.
