Chapter 826 Worldwide Reaction (I)



Emperor Enlightening Academy:

All the teachers, the headmaster, the Immortals, and the Insurgents watched this battle openly and secretly. And when the jet of flame and wind came out of Wang Wei and Di Tian, countless uncontrollable auras leaked out by accident.

Words like impossible, unbelievable, and it's not true echoed throughout the entire academy. Although they were prepared, these teachers could not believe what they saw.

"We are living through a moment that will forever be ingrained in the annals of history," muttered Headmaster Song Li, who used his Willpower to suppress the shock he was currently feeling.

"Such an achievement is probably the first throughout the inception of the Myriad Emperor World?" commented another teacher.

"The Myriad Emperor World? I reckon such a thing has never happened in the lower dimension. Even in the upper dimension, I doubt anyone has the same accomplishment as those two."

The room became quiet as these words were probably true.

"This is not what we should worry about. The appearance of these two will change the current situation of the world. How should we deal with it?" asked a teacher with white hair and a long white beard.

"Don't we have Xu Shi?"

"Headmaster, how is Xu Shi doing?"

"According to Teacher Qin Ju, she is still in her transition stage," replied Song Li. Emperors would usually take a few years for their transformation into higher life forms. Although this fact is not absolute, it usually is.

True Heavenly Dao designs the process to ensure all Emperors across the lower dimension will appear around the same time and prevent them from interfering with other worlds' battles.

So, based on the current battle, Song Li predicted Xu Shi's transformation would take some time since the Martial Hegemony World was too close to the Myriad Emperor World.

"Even if Xu Shi returns, will it truly make a difference?" asked a young-looking female teacher.

"Why not?"

"Those two already have Emperor Strength while still mortals. How powerful will they become after proving the Dao?"

The room once again quieted down as she was telling the truth. These teachers were knowledgeable and knew the foundation set in the Mortal Stage of cultivation would play a significant role after becoming Emperor.

"You don't have to worry. The founder contacted us and told us to be on the good side of whoever proves the Dao in this generation," explained Song Li. "And if that does not work, we need to hide the academy until this generation is over."

"That's a good idea."

Taiyi Profound Gate:

The Celestial Master of the Taiyi Profound Gate watched the battle. His Taoism Realm has reached a high level, allowing him to remain calm and indifferent to most things. Even Feng Heng's betrayal did not elicit too much reaction from him.

However, after seeing the attack of these two, his face remained calm, but his heart could not stop racing. He tried many techniques he knew to return his mind to a peaceful state, but all his attempts were futile.

He heard a cacophony of sounds resulting from different reactions. However, the Celestial Master focused only on his mind and thoughts. At least, until someone said something that made everyone silence:

"The founder was nowhere near this talented, right?"

The Taiyi Profound Gate had a hidden pride from one of their deepest secrets–their founder, the Absolute Beginning Emperor, was a Heaven Chosen from the upper dimension.

Their pride allowed them to calmly face the Dao Opening Sect, whose founder was the Daofather of the Myriad Emperor World. After all, no matter how much Qiyuan accomplished, it cannot compare to the background of their founders.

However, two people shattered their pride today, and one originated from the Dao Opening Sect.

"This is not the time to care about these things," said the Celestial Master, an obvious tactic to change the topic. The gate's hidden pride is not something useless. The pride provided the disciples with confidence and a positive aura, which was very effective in their cultivation, battles, and even benefitted their luck.

So, he did not want this pride to be completely shattered.

"The Celestial Master is correct," said another Elder. "Wang Wei is the Era Son, and the revival of Buddhism will grant him plenty of luck, destiny, and merit. If Feng Heng contacts him, the situation will worsen."

"They might already be in contact? Remember that secret faction that helped him escape the gate?"

"Do you think they were his people?"

"Who else?"

"Not necessarily. We have many enemies, so it's normal if they wished Feng Heng to escape only out of spite and desire to see us suffer," argued another Elder.

"You may be right, but my gut tells me it's him."

No one answered him as this kind of thing was pointless to argue.

"What should be our next course of action?"

No one had an answer for a few seconds.

"We will contact the upper dimension," said the Celestial Master.

"We already tried that, and it failed. What makes you think they will respond now?"

"Now, we have information that is valuable to them."

"You mean those two?"

Everyone's eyes lit up. Yes, the appearance of a mortal with Emperor Strength is worth reporting.

"Alright, let's do it now to prevent new variables."

Five Element Palace:

"The rise of two myths," muttered the Palace Master of the Five Element Balance Palace. He had regained his position less than a few hours ago. But now, he had to deal with this situation.

"Palace Master, what should we do?"

"We need to accept the rise of Buddhism is as unstoppable as the arrival of this new era," said the Palace Master, his eyes glued to the screen of the formation. He also figured out the relationship between the Era Son and Buddhism.

"Is there really no way?"

"We are not the Taiyi Profound Gate, full of hatred and enmity with Buddhism," explained the Palace Master. "If we can accept their rise, we can use this situation to our advantage."

"Do you want to facilitate a war between Buddhism and the Taiyi Profound Gate?"

"Yes. Normally, the newly developed Buddhism has no chance of winning. However, if the Era Son intervened, it's another story entirely."

"If this plan succeeds, we can take this opportunity to return to the Central Continent."

"The main problem with this plan is if the Era Son is not the final winner," added another Elder.

"True," nodded the Palace Master. "However, if Feng Heng is smart, he should get the Di Clan Patriarch on his side using merit as bait. So, we only need to secretly facilitate the war between the two."

"That's a good idea."

"What about Zhen Biyu?"

No one said anything, waiting to hear the Palace Master's decision.

"We have spent too much time and resources on her to let things go. We must bring her back and deal with whoever possessed her. The Pure Heart talent cannot be lost like that, let alone one with the Five Element Balance Physique."

The group had just finished their decision when the battle situation changed. Parasyte used all the power of the spear, killing everything on the battlefield.

"Are they dead?" asked someone with hope in their voice. Although these people have just experienced the birth of two mythical characters, no one wanted any of these people to prove the Dao–especially Wang Wei since he's from the Dao Opening Sect.

Their existence is enough to change the political pattern of the Myriad Emperor World with their overwhelming talent and strength, and no one wanted the Dao Opening Sect to become even more powerful as it displayed in this generation.

Sadly, the hopeful voice soon turned into a deep sigh as Di Tian and Wang Wei showed up on different screens.

"Is Zhen Biyu dead?" asked an Elder.

"She's under Heavenly Dao's protection, so nothing should happen to her."

"Go check her Soul Jade," said the Celestial Master.

"No need," suddenly said a melodious voice that rang throughout the room, making everyone present more respectful as they knew an Ancestor had appeared. "She's appeared, and I'll fetch her."

"Thank you, Ancestor," said the Palace Master with respect.

A few minutes later, he received a talisman and left to meet one of the Ancestors called Element One.

"What's her situation?"

"Someone did possess her, but only using memory infusion," said Element One, a young woman dressed in all red clothes.

"So, can we save her?"

"The memory injection method is quite ingenious, but it's not a problem to solve them."

The Palace Master frowned as he always felt things were too simple, "Are you sure she has no problem?"

"I and many others checked, so you don't need to worry."

"That's good. Ancestor, what do you think of my plan?"

"It's good that you can accept the rise of Buddhism," said Element One. "However, you must understand you're trying to scheme against an Eternal Emperor and not a common one. One wrong move, and you'll pay the consequences."

"So, should we just give up?" The Palace Master was unwilling.

"Don't forget the Era Son is a Dao Overlord."

The Palace Master's face changed as he remembered the sect's record on Dao Overlords.

"I….understand."

"You don't need to do anything. Feng Heng is an ambitious person. He might start a war with the Taiyi Profound Gate even without your interference.

"Furthermore, the Era Son seems to have a grand plan based on how he acted during the Human and Demon Preservation Array Meeting. If he is the final winner, we must wait for him to move before making any decision."
