Chapter 65: Heavenly Physique (1)
Although the majority of people did not truly understand the conversation between Wang Wei and Yan Liling, they can still infer the fact that the young master has a solution to the question asked.
All of them became excited at the future prospect described by the young master--especially the new subordinates of Li Jun.
Throughout the Spirit Road Trial, Li Jun has insisted many times that Wang Wei was their true boss, however, not all of them agree with this even though they did not say anything. They have been serving Li Jun for a whole year, how could they just accept the fact that some random guy is their boss.
However now, although their minds have not changed, a seed of hope has been planted in their hearts. Maybe if they follow the Young Sect Master, they could one day change the entire world, that their deeds will be forever recorded in the annals of history.
While most of the crew was slowly losing their grip on reality, True Monarch Yan Chen warned Wang Wei. "Young Master, you better not easily say these words in public until you reach a certain level of strength. The cultivation world has been stagnant for countless years and that is because the majority of people want it like that. And some radical people will go through extreme length to maintain the current status quo."
After saying this, he looked at the other crew members, and continued. "That goes especially for all of you. If something goes wrong, the young master has the sect to protect him, but none of you have such ability. So, for your safety, better forget you ever heard any of this."
After hearing the Supreme Elder’s warning, the people nodded and swore to keep their mouths shut. In fact, True Monarch Yan Chen considered erasing the memories of the crew, however, considering the fact that the young master’s word has just brought a new level of cohesion to this group that has just been created, he did not do so.
Wang Wei just smiled and nodded to Supreme Elder’s Yan Chen’ words. These words he just said were just random thoughts he had long ago after reading about the world from the library. He decided to turn them into plans only after seeing the situation with his own eyes.
As such, Wang Wei knew that his plans had many flaws before being able to be executed. More importantly, without becoming a Great Emperor, all of the so-called "plans" are nothing but empty words.
The voyage back home has been going on for a whole week. One day, Wang Wei decided to take a walk, so he asked Great Elder Wang Fu to stop the boat and went exploring on his own.
Of course Wang Wei could guess that True Monarch Yan Chen was secretly protecting him, but he did not say anything about it. With his current mortal strength, there are millions of things that can easily kill him. As such, he needed such protection.
Wang Wei walked around a nearby village and enjoyed the sight of nature. There was a small forest full of planted trees, weeds of grass grew wildly in the outskirts of the town, the air in the atmosphere smelled sweet and gleeful just like waking up to the sound of grandma’s home cooking on a Sunday morning after hours of work.
At first the villagers were afraid of him due to his clean and expensive robe, but when they realized that he was the kind of person that is easy to talk to, they invited him into the village and even offered him the little food they had saved. Some bold aunties even presented their daughters in front of Wang Wei asking him if he was interested in getting a new concubine.
Wang Wei accepted their gratitude and stayed for three days in the village. On the fourth day, Wang Wei had a whim and decided to plant a tree near the village.
After planting the seed, he watered it with spiritual water--which is just water that has spiritual qi in them--for the next 10 days.
In the process, Wang Wei watched as the roots absorbed the spiritual water and firmly planted itself in the ground. Then, the roots slowly start to grow high and tall. Wang Wei watched as this seed, under his care, grew up into the strongest and firmest tree in the entire area; he watched as the tree grew up able to withstand any wind and rain.
He watched as the tree grew to be the tallest of trees in the entire village, able to shelter anyone who wishes from the sundering heat of the sun.
Although Wang Wei only spent ten days with this tree, he hoped that it survives the long years and keeps on growing, so that one day, if he came back, he will see it again.
Before leaving the village, Wang Wei had Great Elder Wang Fu set up a feng shui formation deep underground of the village. The purpose of this formation is to bless the village with good luck and fortune.
With this formation, the crops of this village will always be fruitful, the villagers will be healthy and live long lives. Additionally, the villagers will also be able to easily gather wealth without arousing the jealousy of other people.
In general, it will be easier for them to find success and happiness in their future endeavors. After doing this, Wang Wei left the village and headed straight back to the sect through teleportation formation.
After arriving home, Wang Wei was received by his mother Yu Yan who almost smothered him with a hug.
After releasing him, Sect Madam Yu Yan took a good look at him, then touched his face. "Wei’er, you have become so thin. And what is with all these scars all over your body?"
After saying that, Yu Yan turned to Great Elder Wang Fu and said through clenched teeth. "Wang Fu, I thought you were supposed to protect your nephew. But look at him now, he’s basically half dead!"
Great Elder Wang Fu became speechless, then said with a wry smile. "Sect Madam, there is nothing I can do once he enters the Spirit Road Trial."
Yu Yan just snorted at him and continued to ask his son if he was missing any limbs and needed to be healed immediately.
Wang Wei smiled wryly too at his mother. He is 16 years old now (not counting the age from his past life). According to the standard of this world, he was technically an adult, yet his mother still treated him like a child. Thankfully, he was not the only one as Li Jun was receiving the same treatment from his mother on the other side.
Despite his embarrassment, Wang Wei did not mind his mother’s behavior. In his past life, he did not enjoy the love of a mother as he was an orphan. Although later he was adopted by a family that treated him as if he was their own, it was not the same thing in the end.
After a few minutes of scrutinizing every part of his body, Yu Yan and Wang Wei returned to the Wang Family Mountain, while Li Jun also returned to the Li Family Mountain. Yan Liling left with Great Elder Yan Mei in the direction of Punishment’s Hall.
As for True Monarch Yan Chen, he returned to the Supreme Elder Cottage to discuss his concern towards the young master’s mysterious soul and his ideas about the future he mentioned during the return trip.
When he arrived home, Wang Wei met his father. Unlike Yu Yan, Wang Tian just patted his shoulder and asked, "Did you get everything?"
Wang Wei nodded and handed over all the things he got from Ji Song to his father-- including the Formation Rune Body method. The Sect Master quickly scanned the contents, then said. "Good, good. Be prepared, in a month, the sect will have everything prepared and you can begin."
Wang Wei had a sigh of relief. After so many years of planning, everything will soon come to fruition, Then, he suddenly asked, "What about Li Jun? His soul might not be able to survive the baptisement of the Fragment of Law."
"You do not need to worry about Li Jun. The Immortal Venerable who woke a year ago donated some of his bloodline in order to help Li Jun survive and succeed."
Wang Wei looked at his father in confusion. Although he could guess that the Immortal was powerful, he did not know what his bloodline had to do with Li Jun’ success rate.
Seeing the look on his son’s face, Wang Tian explained. "The first Emperor cultivated by the Li Family was known as the Battle Maniac Emperor, and he cultivated the Dao of Fighting. The Immortal Venerable who woke up this time was from the Li family, as such, his bloodline contained the power of the Battle Maniac Emperor. With it, Li Jun has a much higher chance of acquiring a special physique."
Wang Wei then nodded in satisfaction. As long as Li Jun was alright, then it doesn’t matter how things proceeded: only the result truly matters.
After discussing with his father, Wang Wei had dinner with his family--including his grandfather-- then slept peacefully for the first time like a passed out drunk.
