To Be Celestial's Emperor II
S3 - The Power of 3 Elders
Within the illusionary world of elder Bai, the other two elders began to attack using the techniques they had. Elder Huang released hundreds of sharp wind blades and could cut even the most powerful steel while the second elder made the fire wheels that surrounded and burned the man alive.
If only his opponent was not a Mortal Peak cultivator then he would have been killed many times before the combined attacks of the 3 elders.
It was not that the man was weak that could be easily defeated by the Zhen Yuan group, but it was because the man was no match for Zhen Yuan and his group if they were to unite. The strength of the Zhen Yuan group itself had rivaled that of an early layer Holy Sage Cultivator so this man was not worth talking about.
But that does not mean he is weak because unbeknownst to Zhen Yuan, the man he and his group defeated was a leader of Shadow robbers, one of the 3 strongest groups of robbers in the Bandit Desert.
“Let him go! We need information from this man!” Zhen Yuan saw that the man had sustained such severe injuries that he told the three elders to stop.
“Little Lion can you temporarily seal his cultivation?” Zhen Yuan asked.
The Little Lion nodded, he touched the man's stomach then green energy flowed from his palm and entered the man's stomach which instantly spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood.
“Your cultivation has been sealed and you cannot use your power again without our permission.” Zhen Yuan said.
Hearing Zhen Yuan's words, the man trembled in fear. He fumbled his stomach and tried to pull out his strength but unfortunately not the slightest bit of his strength came out making him even more panicked.
He immediately regained his senses and ran towards Zhen Yuan, the man without warning kneeling down and begging to restore his strength as before. Raising his brows, Zhen Yuan smiled in satisfaction. “I can do it but you have to answer my question first”
“I will answer everything the master said!” answer the man immediately.
“Who are you and why do you want to harm us? If it wasn't for the Little Lion watching and watching you then we would probably be wretched today and eat your cooking”
“For whom?” Zhen Yuan asked again.
“For the Soul of the Ancestor!” said the man was helpless. This is actually a secret that not many people know about.
Zhen Yuan and the Little Lion looked at each other, both of them knew the ancestral Soul that the man was referring to was none other than the Soul of a Mortal Peak cultivator who had lost to the torment of Heavenly Lightning. Normally this soul would instantly spread along with the creation of a small world yet there were also some things that kept the soul of that cultivator safe.
Although he survived, he could not step into becoming a Saint Sage cultivator because he had been defeated by the heavenly lightning. He could only become a Sacred Sage cultivator with just the tumbang offerings or other means that were a cheat and dirty way.
Furthermore, Zhen Yuan asked more common things like the state of the Wasted Islands, the amount of power there was, to resources and whatnot.
From Zheng Cho, they learn that the Bandit Desert plains are actually controlled by 3 forces namely Shadow Robbers, Central Palace and Bandit Brothers. The three each ruled a small world in the Bandit Desert.
“Early Land of Origin just getting a small world is so difficult while here there are 3!” The three elders shook their heads slowly hearing him.
The three of them had the same strength, they were each led by a Mortal Peak cultivator which if on the main island they were equivalent to a Sergeant who was still not worth admitting.
“Our power source has been depleted for years. We can only accumulate wealth by robbing others. Of course not all of our activities are robbing, we also usually sell and for alchemists and other masters will develop their talents in order to enter the main island as master”
Zhen Yuan was still unfamiliar with the strength of the main island hence he asked once more questions about the Main Island. This made Zheng Cho look at him strangely but he still answered the young man's question.
