System's Super Sect Chapter 971 914: Guidance for Weisheng Xingyu
Previously on System's Super Sect...
Certainly, he harbors no fear.
As for whether Weisheng Xingyu shares this sentiment, that remains unknown.
However, he is certain that Weisheng Xingyu is under immense pressure.
He had not yet directly confronted the Endless Celestial Suspension. Merely encountering a handful of Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts from the Covering Sky Tower nearly cost him his life. Should he truly face an Endless Celestial Suspension from the Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm, he likely wouldn't even be able to muster a defense.
Wen Ping stated plainly, "The Endless Celestial Suspension has already ascended to the Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm. Your target for revenge is now incredibly powerful, while you have only just reclaimed your Earth Unrestricted Lower Realm strength. The disparity between you two is nothing short of a Celestial Abyss."
"I place my faith in destiny! Since fate allowed me to meet the Sect Leader and live a second life, it must be for a profound reason," Weisheng Xingyu replied, his demeanor calm rather than driven by blind confidence or rage.
This composure was something Wen Ping deeply admired.
Having established the Covering Sky Tower and weathered countless trials, Weisheng Xingyu possessed a maturity far exceeding most within the Immortal Sect. He wouldn't recklessly charge forward like the impetuous youth, nor would he succumb to despair like so many others.
If one were to describe Weisheng Xingyu.
Wen Ping perceived him as akin to a wolf.
Cunning!
Fierce!
Before Wen Ping could utter another word, Weisheng Xingyu spoke again, "Thank you, Sect Leader, for preserving my life. In this new existence, I possess nothing to offer in return except a vow not to burden the Immortal Sect. Should the Covering Sky Tower discover I yet live, they will relentlessly pursue me. The elders and disciples of our Immortal Sect should not be forced to endure the consequences of my personal vendetta, nor should they make sacrifices for a worthless individual such as myself. It is not worth your effort to contend with the entire Covering Sky Tower on my behalf."
Despite Wen Ping's evident lack of fear towards the Covering Sky Tower and his willingness to offer sanctuary, Weisheng Xingyu was not a selfish man. He understood his presence posed a significant risk and that he could not remain.
His life was his own to bear!
He would not involve others in his plight!
At this juncture, Wen Ping, standing nearby, listened to Weisheng Xingyu's words, then rose and smiled. "Speaking of involvement, ever since I retrieved you from the Qu Realm, you have been intertwined with my fate. I have expended considerable energy and time to awaken you."
"In this life of Weisheng Xingyu, I have naught to repay!"
Weisheng Xingyu slowly rose to his feet and bowed his head deeply to the ground.
Bang—
He then added another solemn declaration.
"I simply ask that you and the Immortal Sect not be implicated!"
Wen Ping did not offer Weisheng Xingyu a hand to rise, allowing him to remain kneeling. Abruptly, Wen Ping's tone shifted. "Cease speaking of departure from the Sect. The only time you will cease being a member of the Immortal Sect is when this Sect Leader commands it. From this day forward, do not frequent East Lake; I shall assign others to its guardianship."
"Sect Leader..."
Weisheng Xingyu looked up, his intended words haltingly caught in his throat.
Wen Ping raised his hand, signaling for Weisheng Xingyu to be silent, and continued, "Within Fa Yuan Valley lies a Final Forbidden Area, brimming with immeasurable opportunities. Even its periphery holds treasures capable of transforming ordinary demons into Demon Gods, let alone its deeper reaches. However, this Final Forbidden Area is fraught with peril; even a Sword Demon might perish within its depths. Since you place your trust in destiny, why not venture in and explore? There, you may discover all the answers you seek!"
Without allowing Weisheng Xingyu another moment to respond, Wen Ping concluded his address and swiftly departed the dormitory area.
Weisheng Xingyu remained kneeling, stunned by the sudden departure.
He then bowed once more in the direction Wen Ping had vanished.
To encounter such a benevolent leader was a blessing for which he felt no regret, even in death!
Since the Sect Leader refused to let him leave and offered him guidance, he would indeed venture into the Final Forbidden Area.
As the old saying goes, one bears their own destiny. If he were ultimately to meet his end in the Final Forbidden Area, he would do so with peace and without grievance.
"Even the fringe areas contain treasures that can elevate common demons to the level of Demon Gods..." Weisheng Xingyu rose slowly, pondering the Sect Leader's words, a sense of profound astonishment filling his heart.
Indeed, it was worthy of its name, the Final Forbidden Area!
Without delay, Weisheng Xingyu hastened from the dormitory area, carrying a hoe toward the Purple Bamboo Forest. There, he unearthed two purple bamboo shoots, each roughly the size of his fist.
Upon first sight of the Perilla, Weisheng Xingyu found himself unable to regain his composure for a considerable time.
The mere fragrance of Purple Bamboo made his Rebirth Body react like a ravenous ghost, famished after centuries of starvation! Such an intense hunger was entirely novel, surpassing even the sensation experienced when encountering the Rebirth Flower a millennium prior.
His Rebirth Body was not an inherited trait; indeed, no such Rebirth Body from the You Country had ever been recorded.
In truth, his unique Rebirth Body originated from consuming the Rebirth Flower.
He still vividly recalled the day he first laid eyes upon the Rebirth Flower; his Spirit Body had become as exhilarated as a child presented with sweets.
That very day, he had consumed the Rebirth Flower.
And thus, he obtained the Rebirth Body!
Now, the Rebirth Body’s hunger felt amplified a thousandfold, perhaps even more, compared to the craving he felt when beholding the Rebirth Flower.
"These purple bamboo shoots must be the paramount celestial materials in existence!" Weisheng Xingyu declared, carefully excavating two specimens.
The twin purple bamboo shoots possessed negligible weight, each not exceeding a thousand pounds. Yet, he perceived an immense heft!
It felt as if each shoot carried the burden of a hundred thousand, even a million pounds.
This profound weight was a testament to the Sect Leader's benevolence towards him!
"Sect Leader, in this lifetime, I pledge to safeguard the Immortal Sect!"
After a silent vow, Weisheng Xingyu swiftly enveloped the shoots with his Vein Qi and hastened to the kitchen, presenting them to Huai Ye, who was engaged in cooking.
"Xiao Ye, please transform these into spiritual cuisine. Once it's prepared, I shall capture a Demon God to serve as your mount!" With spiritual cuisine derived from the purple bamboo shoots, wounds could be mended within seven days. Weisheng Xingyu was now eager to venture into the Final Forbidden Area!
Huai Ye’s delight was palpable upon hearing this.
A Demon God as a mount!
Astonishing!
Her Ba Snake would undoubtedly ascend to the status of a supreme king!
...
Meanwhile, Wen Ping,
Having departed from the dormitory quarters, Wen Ping made a direct course for the secluded areas within the Immortal Sect's mountain range. There, he located Sword Demon, who was engrossed in the cultivation of Holy Light Magic.
At this very moment, Sword Demon was engaged in a rigorous spar with Long Yue. Long Yue, wielding the Summoning Element, unleashed an unending barrage of tree spirits against Sword Demon. In response, Sword Demon countered with his Holy Light Blade Qi, all while relentlessly refining his mastery of Holy Light Magic.
Upon perceiving Wen Ping’s arrival, both combatants abruptly ceased their engagement.
"Sect Leader!"
"Sect Leader!"
Wen Ping offered commendation, remarking, "Long Yue, your progress is truly commendable. Should your spiritual power continue to advance, it won't be long before Sword Demon is no longer your equal."
Long Yue beamed with pride at the praise and responded, "Sect Leader, I am truly fortunate to have your discerning eye. I believe my elder sister can no longer defeat me! And as for Long Ye, when we next meet, I will surely crush him."
"Called you fat, and you're already panting?" Wen Ping quipped back.
Without further preamble, he addressed the chuckling Sword Demon directly, stating, "Sword Demon, commencing today, maintain a vigilant watch over East Lake. Should individuals from the Covering Sky Tower make an appearance during the Hundred Sects Alliance battle and the Wanderers Inn skirmish, you are to engage them. It will serve as an excellent opportunity for honing your skills. If you encounter a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted cultivator you cannot overcome, endeavor to lure them towards the Sect; our Sect Array will automatically dispatch them."
