Chapter 251 - 248: What If I Tried?

Considering Tuo Bihan couldn’t answer, he didn’t question it. Regardless of whether Wei Wuyin was the reincarnation of the King of Everlore or not, he was alive and young. If the King of Everlore could be birthed, then another could as well, no?

In the end, it didn’t matter. For now, Wei Wuyin was Wei Wuyin.

"Will my smokescreen hold?" Wei Wuyin ate a grape, asking Tuo Bihan. He was uncertain that others wouldn’t notice his manifestation. If the Alchemy Association and other hegemons learned of his potential, he feared they might launch an attack on the Myriad Monarch Sect in an attempt to slay him. This was because he represented the Myriad Monarch Sect.

This was quite different from the Princess of Everlore’s existence. The Alchemy Association’s stance on matters was similar to the King of Everlore, aloof and detached. It was unlikely they would dominate the starfield. But the Myriad Monarch Sect was different.

They were dealt a severely punishing blow by the other three hegemons and bore a heavy grudge. If they became rulers, developed a few Realmlords, he had no doubt the Myriad Monarch Sect would once attempt to rule the starfield as they had done once before. Their mantra and modus operandi aligned with such ambitions.

If they rose to power, the other three forces would definitely be eliminated. In fact, Tuo Bihan knew this was the case in his heart. Which of the Grand Imperial Sages today hadn’t lost family, children, and friends due to the war hundreds of years ago?

Yao Zhen lost his father to the Sacred Light Palace. He was trapped in a formation and exhausted to death.

Qin Rui’s parents were captured and refined by the Demonic Abyss Mountain.

Zen’s budding clan that was slowly rising to prominence had been exterminated by the Elemental Heaven Pavilion.

Ji Changkong’s wife was directly slain in front of him.

These were the casualties of the war. They bore grudges that ran deep, and even Tuo Bihan experienced losses. When the fighting had begun, he was a top-tier elite with intricate and emotional relationships. He watched his comrades die in gruesome ways. How could he not hold hatred? In fact, he was in love with Qin Rui’s mother. It was this very reason that he treated her differently than others, wasting half a decade to ensure she had a smooth path into the ranks of an expert.

It was this very reason that Ji Changkong, Qin Rui, and Yao Zhen demanded war at the first offense. They wanted to kill to their hearts’ content now that they’ve gained strength. For rivers of blood to run and the wailings of their enemies to resound!

Wei Wuyin had always known about this grudge and the documented war and its final result. It was this reason why he purposefully concealed his true talents when he fully arrived. He wanted to even conceal his combat strength, but Xue Yifei’s existence had changed his intentions.

Tuo Bihan frowned deeply, "Absolutely not. It won’t hold."

"..." Wei Wuyin’s eyes became dark. This was indeed troublesome.Thê source of this conte/nt n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

"Not as it is now. There are ways to do so, however. We’ll get out in front of this, explaining the worldly disturbance away as a result of a method that drew in the entire world’s innate energies to support your pill concoction. As for the manifestation, I don’t think many would realize its significance immediately, not even the Alchemist Association. Eighth-grade products have a manifestation, but not like this. Fortunately, not many can tell the difference or explain it in person.

"We can say it was a manifestation produced by the world’s formation as it drew energies from the stars, moon, and planet. I don’t know if it’ll hold forever, but considering your age and cultivation base, as well as the short time since you’ve started practicing alchemy, we’ll have to rely on others’ disbelief. Furthermore, rascally babe, you’ve kept yourself hidden quite well so there’s an argument we can throw to muddle things."

"Hm?" Wei Wuyin’s left eyebrow raised slightly. He ignored the fact Tuo Bihan had referred to him as ’babe’, slowly becoming accustomed to his odd addressing. After all, he called him a lass once before.

He would have a near-limitless amount of wealth and access to the sect’s resources. The support of all its experts and full authority within the sect. Even if he became the Grand Monarch, he would be forced to bow before a Mortal Sovereign Alchemist lest Wei Wuyin supported a competitor and created endless trouble for him. If he was like the King of Everlore, a figure that remained neutral and supported every race equally without allegiances, then that would be best. After all, the King of Everlore had no practical combat ability due to his Astral Soul.

But Wei Wuyin had true combat strength.

He witnessed this when he was suppressed by him in the Myriad Yore Continent. This was not false.

"At least...he’s not a Mortal Sovereign Alchemist," Lu Feng said with a depressed expression. He was just informed of the ’rivalry’ between Long Chen and Wei Wuyin. His big brother was facing this giant with endless talent. It was hard to muster a confident heart.

Those words caused Long Chen’s heart to tense. Not a Mortal Sovereign Alchemist?

Wu Yu spoke to him telepathically, "It’s best you settle your grudge in your heart. He’s not an existence that you can consider overcoming. At least not now."

But Long Chen remained reluctant. He wanted to return the humiliation that was given to him in the Myriad Yore Continent. He wanted to prove to Na Xinyi that her love for him was justified, and she didn’t need Wei Wuyin; he would ensure her the greatest happiness! He wanted to prove to himself that he had no limits, simply needed time.

"I refuse!" Long Chen stubbornly resisted accepting this. In the depths of his heart, Wei Wuyin was a demonic wall that he had to overcome. There had to be a way to do so. The cultivation world was boundless and limitless. There had to be some way!

Wu Yu remained silent for a period as he felt the seething emotions within Long Chen. He sighed and felt sympathetic towards Long Chen. His path thus far had been met with countless obstacles, but with the support of himself and others, he always thrived and overcame them all with his tenacious will and honest emotions. For someone like him to accept inferiority after being referred to as trash during his childhood, it was highly unlikely. He had something to prove to himself, and he wouldn’t accept anything less than the best.

Wu Yu said suddenly, "There might be a path you can take. But it’s rather...uncertain." These words were like cool, refreshing water to a dehydrated man in the desert. Long Chen’s eyes brightened. Wu Yu had never steered him wrongly, so he believed him wholeheartedly.

"It’s difficult but possible."

"I’m willing!" Long Chen internally shouted. He wasn’t willing to admit his inferiority.

"If it was my era, it might not be possible, but in this era it is...you have to gain the full support of the Princess of Everlore," Wu Yu explained. If Long Chen could obtain the Princess of Everlore full support, then he would essentially have a future King of Everlore supporting him. Regardless of how impressive Wei Wuyin was, he could only rival her achievements in his eyes. This was because she had the support of the Alchemist Association and an Alchemic Astral Soul.

Even to Wu Yu, he never noticed Wei Wuyin’s Alchemic Astral Soul. He simply believed Wei Wuyin had found a workaround, likely by refining alchemical energies until they reached the appropriate point and using conversion methods. His thoughts weren’t wrong because it was how the Alchemist Association had created the Princess of Everlore!

Furthermore, Wei Wuyin still had to provide for the sect. If the Princess of Everlore dedicated herself completely to and for Long Chen, then his cultivation would explode without end!

Those words embedded a seed within Long Chen’s mind. Since he was young, he had unusually great luck with females. Especially talented beauties. He had never intentionally pursued them, trying to focus on his cultivation, but a relationship would naturally develop and their relationship would become intimate.

This was so for Na Xinyi, Lin Ziyan, Qing Qiumu, Wu Baozhai, Lian Yu, Hong Ru, and Xiao Bing! There were also other women he hadn’t accepted that he knew how crushes towards him.

But...what if he purposefully tried?

The idea deeply entrenched into his thoughts, permeating his sea of consciousness, and became hopelessly infectious. He could do it! He had the charisma, talent, and potential! Would any woman be able to resist if he tried to court them?

If Wei Wuyin was privy to his thoughts at this very moment, he might laugh for three days and two nights. Regardless, he would feel that the ensuing events would be incredibly interesting.
