System's Super Sect Chapter 970 913: Weisheng Xingyu's Desire to Destroy the Heaven-Shrouding Tower (Second Update)

"It's approaching!"

Wen Ping instantly directed his spiritual power toward the incoming entity.

Simultaneously, the system interface displayed its attributes.

[Dark Stream Annihilation]

[Power: Equivalent to a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted expert]

[Race: Dark Shadow Race]

[Special Ability: Can morph into a black shadow, phasing through all physical matter]

[Skill: Black Scythe Harvest (Transforms into a shadowy form and charges the enemy. The black scythe can reap all foes within a thousand-zhang radius.)

Divine Abyss Gaze (When Dark Stream Annihilation opens its eyes, any who meet its gaze become ensnared by the abyss, their reaction speed reduced by half for fifteen minutes.)

Split (Enters the body of those entrapped by the abyss and disembowels them from within. If an enemy is slain, the skill may be reused on another foe, repeating the process. However, if the target cannot be killed, the Split ability enters a one-hour cooldown.)]

"Remarkably powerful!"

Wen Ping vocalized, echoing his initial reaction upon encountering Lucifer.

The aspect Wen Ping found most unsettling was the Split ability.

The prospect of it being able to directly disembowel and eliminate a target, then immediately transfer to another body to unleash its power again, was astounding.

Such a capability bordered on divine slaughter.

There was no cooldown!

It was undeniably close to the might of a death god!

"You are the one,"

Wen Ping’s spiritual power manifested as a binding rope, lunging towards Dark Stream Annihilation.

...

Emerging from the Undead Hell, Wen Ping made his way to the dormitory quarters.

Wei Sheng Xingyu was seated alone by the Deep Pool, evidently lost in thought, and only looked up when Wen Ping was directly before him.

"Sect Leader."

As Wei Sheng Xingyu's gaze met Wen Ping's, the killing intent that had flickered within his eyes vanished as if startled, though Wen Ping had perceived it clearly.

"How fares your injury?"

"I appreciate your concern, Sect Leader. While my wounds are serious, they are trivial. This recent battle has propelled me back to the Earth Unrestricted realm, making the injuries a worthwhile price." Wei Sheng Xingyu attempted to downplay his condition, but Wen Ping was well aware of its severity.

Without the aid of Spiritual Cuisine, regaining full mobility would likely take three to five years.

Even with Spiritual Cuisine, more than a month or two would pass before significant recovery.

The sole remedy capable of rapid healing was Purple Bamboo Shoots.

Wen Ping stated, "You may go to the Purple Bamboo Forest on Medicine Mountain and procure two Purple Bamboo Shoots. Once integrated into a medicinal meal, your injuries should mend within a week."

Wei Sheng Xingyu offered a faint smile and expressed, "Thank you, Sect Leader."

To claim his injuries were insignificant would have been a falsehood.

He simply wished to spare others undue worry regarding his condition.

Everyone except the Sect Leader!

After Wen Ping took a seat beside him, he shifted the conversation, asking, "What is the current situation at Heaven and Earth Lake? Was your identity revealed?"

"Three Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts were present at Heaven and Earth Lake. They recognized my Rebirth Body, but they found it hard to believe I was Wei Sheng Xingyu, given I have been presumed 'dead' for so many years."

"Only three?"

Wen Ping mused aloud.

His words registered with Wei Sheng Xingyu, stirring his surprise.

Indeed!

The Immortal Sect harbored even more formidable individuals!

Suppressing his astonishment, Wei Sheng Xingyu inquired, "Sect Leader, what are your thoughts on our relationship with Zhe Tian Lou?"

"They present a significant obstacle, a mountain blocking our path," Wen Ping responded.

For the Immortal Sect to flourish, established powers that already held dominion over this territory would inevitably resist its peaceful ascent.

Your Country championed righteousness, while Zhe Tian Lou embodied wickedness.

Between Your Country and Zhe Tian Lou,

There existed no fundamental difference.

Both were adamantly opposed to the Immortal Sect's growth.

The world was bifurcated; Your Country and Zhe Tian Lou disallowed any other partition, thus the battlegrounds were drenched in perpetual conflict.

Should the Immortal Sect aspire to trisect the world, their opposition would be unequivocal.

Wei Sheng Xingyu concurred, nodding. "I share your assessment. Consequently, this obstacle must be dismantled, or perhaps transformed into a stepping stone for our ascent."

Wen Ping probed, "Zhe Tian Lou was your creation. Are you certain you can relinquish it?"

The killing intent that had momentarily receded from Wei Sheng Xingyu's eyes surged anew. Grinding his teeth, he declared with deep conviction, "I can!"

"Why is that?"

"Following this great conflict, certain memories have resurfaced. The animosity I harbored towards Your Country then is now mirrored by my profound disdain for Zhe Tian Lou; the desire I once held for Your Country's annihilation is now matched by my fervent wish for Zhe Tian Lou's utter ruin!"

As the words left his mouth, Wei Sheng Xingyu could not suppress the murder intent that erupted, manifesting as a palpable aura that swept outwards.

It was only when Wen Ping extended a hand and infused a tendril of Wood Qi into Wei Sheng Xingyu's being that his increasingly unbridled emotions began to stabilize.

Once his composure returned, Wei Sheng Xingyu offered Wen Ping a sheepish smile and voiced his appreciation. He then explained, "The esteemed Prince Qi Xingyu of the You Country harbored deep resentment for his homeland, leading him to establish Zhe Tian Lou with the objective of its destruction. Now, the inaugural Grandmaster of Zhe Tian Lou, Wei Sheng Xingyu, finds himself despising Zhe Tian Lou and resolves to tear it down. I am quite intrigued, over these past few centuries, perhaps close to a millennium, what experiences could have forged such profound hatred and the will to obliterate something you once held so dear?"

A faint smile touched Wei Sheng Xingyu's lips. "Please understand, Sect Leader, if I am unwilling to revisit my past with You Country. As for my current animosity towards Zhe Tian Lou, it is because, much like You Country, it robbed me of the person I cherished most in existence. If you recall my initial awakening, you should know who I cried out for."

"Yun Ni, your daughter."

Wen Ping indeed remembered Yun Ni.

He Nian had previously mentioned that Yun Ni had been expunged from existence three centuries prior, to the extent that even the system was incapable of retrieving any data concerning her.

This was undoubtedly the work of deliberate action.

Otherwise, given Wei Sheng Xingyu's prominent standing, Yun Ni, as his sole offspring, would certainly have left some trace in the records.

Even if only within the archives of Zhe Tian Lou.

Yet, Zhe Tian Lou contained absolutely no mention of Yun Ni.

It appeared that Yun Ni's demise, and the subsequent erasure of her existence, was the very reason for Wei Sheng Xingyu's bitterness towards Zhe Tian Lou.

Mention of Yun Ni's name caused a shift in Wei Sheng Xingyu's demeanor, but the Wood Qi circulating within him prevented an eruption of killing intent.

"The individual who attacked me and cast me into the Qu Realm is the current Grandmaster of Zhe Tian Lou. My daughter, Yun Ni, also perished by his hands."

Wei Sheng Xingyu’s fists tightened involuntarily.

"Who is it?"

"Endless Celestial Suspension!"

"System," Wen Ping commanded, directing the system to procure concise information regarding Endless Celestial Suspension.

[Endless Celestial Suspension]

[Gender: Unspecified]

[Age: 2,700 years]

[Realm: Believed to be Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm]

...

Beyond this basic profile, comprehensive details were scarce.

However, even this limited information prompted deep contemplation from Wen Ping.

The fact that the system lacked specific power readings suggested that, during their prior encounter, Endless Celestial Suspension had demonstrated power at the Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm level.

"System, when was Endless Celestial Suspension last active?"

The system responded, "Seventy years ago."

"Seventy years ago. Then, at most, they have only recently surpassed the Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm." Wen Ping felt a measure of reassurance, as facing an opponent not in a significantly higher tier was manageable.
