940 Counterattack
(Unedited Chapter)
—--
"Your Majesty," saluted Xu Shi and Feng Heng, and Wang Wei nodded to them. The two watched them, each feeling somewhat lost. The intruder's strength was on par with them, but the Heavenly Emperor defeated him only using his aura. In other words, their fate would not be much different if they ever confronted the latter.
The two knew the Heavenly Emperor's strength. After all, they guess his strength based on the terror they feel whenever they think of confronting him. However, they did not know exactly how powerful he was until now. No, even now, they do not know the limit to his power.
"I called you to make a deal," said Wang Wei directly. "I want you to attack someone along with his faction. In exchange, I will give you each the merit to increase your cultivation by 1% of the Grand Dao Source."
The two immediately frowned. The offer was tempting. After all, cultivating in their realm was extremely difficult, and even an increase of 1% is harder than cultivating from a mortal to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
Currently, both Xu Shi and Feng Heng's base cultivation was 21% Grand Dao
Source. Since the first court meeting, each increased their cultivation by 1%, and such progress was extremely fast by any standard.
They achieved this result due to many factors, such as the merit from the court, the blessing from Heaven and Earth as
Gods, their Dao Discussion after the second meeting, the increase of Soul Power after the exchange with the Emperor, and their use of Time Formation.
Xu Shi's main Dao is Time, so she can work with the Dao Ancestors from the Academy that cultivated Array Dao. Meanwhile, Feng Heng has the [Past, Present, Future Buddha Scroll] as an aid. Only with all these boosts did they achieve an increase of 1% in their cultivation in a little over a thousand years.
However, despite the benefits, they felt something was wrong, so they did not immediately agree.
"Your Majesty, why aren't you attacking them yourselves or using members of your sect."
"I'm sending you to gather information," replied Wang Wei, deciding that telling the truth was the best course of action in this situation. "My intuition tells me something in that world can pose a threat to me, so I want to send you two to gather information."
"Your majesty–"
"I know what you want to say," said Wang Wei. "I'm not sending you to your death. I will give you a talisman with my strength.
You can use it to deal with the situation or run away if dangers arise. Furthermore, I will also take action to save you."
The two became quiet, calculating the risks involved.
"Your majesty, this poor monk wants to know what exactly can hurt you in that world."
Wang Wei looked at him, "It's a broken Empyrean Artifact." Such news would be best to remain unknown. However, he did not care; if he wished to hide some information, he could wipe it from people's minds or even directly erase it from the annals of history.
Of course, he revealed such information directly because it was not truly his main worry. He felt something odd with the Spirit Genesis Sect–especially He Shiyi. So, he did not rush to destroy them and chose this way to test the water first.
Xu Shi and Feng Heng became quiet again.
At their cultivation level, they knew plenty of secrets of Heaven and Earth, so they knew how powerful Empyreans were. They could guess how terrible an artifact of such a level would be, even a broken one.
"You don't need to worry too much about the artifact. True Heavenly Dao limits its power because of the Balance Mechanism."
Wang Wei suddenly paused, "Well, you might need to worry about it. To balance my presence, True Heavenly Dao has probably lowered the restrictions on its usage."
"What sect do you want to attack? How powerful are they? How powerful is the target?" asked Xu Shi.
"The Spirit Genesis Sect from the Battle Spirit World. Their sect is very powerful, and they have two Immortal Sovereigns.
However, one of them is injured, so you only need to worry about one of them.
