Chapter 384: Chess Piece
After Xiao Songxi was resurrected, Wang Wei proceeded to kill him again with a punch; this time, he killed more than a hundred times in a row before stopping.
As he looked at the latter who had a frown on his face, Wang Wei also made some discovery about this protection. No matter whether he destroyed Xiao Songxi's body or soul, he will return back to the peak state, and that included his state of mind.
Any person who died more than a hundred times in a row without any resistance would have some fear, despair, anger, or any kind of negative emotion. Yet, Xiao Songxi was perfectly fine.
Wang Wei did not think that it was the latter's powerful will that made him alright. Obviously, when bringing him back to life, Heavenly Dao's Protection also eliminated the danger to his mood and state of mind.
That way, he is always in perfect performance shape.
From what he learned about this protection, it was created to encourage the Heaven Chosen of this world to fight one another without restriction and thus creating more powerful Great Emperors.
However, it seemed that over the years, people have stopped using it that way or play less emphasis on this aspect.
Truth be told, Wang Wei was a little envious of this immortal-like ability. If he had it, he would have used it to swim on the River of Fate and uncovered its mystery. With his understanding and undying nature, Heaven knows what he would learn from there.
'Maybe this is the reason that Heavenly Dao did not want me to place my name in there,' thought Wang Wei, however, he quickly removed these regrets from his mind; there was no point in being stuck in the past.
His intuition told him that it was harmful to him to place his name on the book. Although to this day he still did not know the reason, he still believed that he made the right decision.
All these thoughts flashed across Wang Wei's mind in an instant before focusing on the task at hand. He was not finished testing the limit of the protection, nor did he learn anything substantial from it.
So, his little experiment must continue.
He flew towards Xiao Songxi once again with absolute speed. This time, the latter was barely able to react and enacted a black barrier to protect his body. Unfortunately, Wang Wei's hand easily broke through it and grabbed his head.
The moment the hand touched his face, Xiao Songxi felt a terrifying pressure that rendered him momentarily powerless; his origin essence, cultivation base, and even soul were suppressed.
Then, a Void cracked appeared behind him and he was dragged into it.
Wang Wei floated in the void outside of the Myriad Emperor World; he looked at his empty hand with a frown. Just now, he tried to take Xiao Songxi outside of the world to see if the effect of the protection would be useless there and could kill him.
However, midway through, a strange spatial fluctuation came from Xiao Songxi's body and he was teleported back inside. Not convinced, Wang Wei returned inside and tracked the mark he left on him.
Then, he tried again to take him outside, however, no matter how many times, he tried, he still failed.
After thinking about it for a moment, he realized that his idea was not that original. Immortality is the pursuit of all cultivators. He was sure that many people have studied the Heaven Chosens on that book extendedly and over countless generations.
Not only for their immortality but also to find a way to kill them. And trying to get them outside of the influence of Heavenly Dao seemed the obvious possible way to kill these people.
Yet, there has been no news or information about anyone succeeding in doing so.
Nevertheless, Wang Wei still had one last thing to try before giving up; he knew that it was more efficient to read about the experiments the sect did on these people. There should be records in the Secret Archives.
He waved his hand and a large mountain at least ten times the size of Mt. Everest appeared; it landed on top of Xiao Song before being inserted on the earth. Many runes were on the mountain, serving as a seal.
He wanted to seal Xiao Songxi. Even if he could not kill him, he wanted to know if he could seal him. And the answer was negative. A few minutes after being sealed, another spatial fluctuation suddenly manifested itself and Xiao Songxi appeared intact in front of the mountain.
Wang Wei waved his hand a small bead appeared in front of him. This was a spatial treasure that contained a small world inside, and it was Supreme Tier Level.
He absorbed Xiao Songxi inside trying once again to isolate him from Heavenly Dao since the world inside was considered another Heaven and Earth.
Plus, the small world inside can be used for sealing purposes. Unfortunately, this plan also failed as Xiao Songxi left the small world after a few minutes and appeared in front of him, also intact.
This time, Wang Wei did not attack, just gave the latter a deep look before returning to the Eternal Dream Sect.
Meanwhile, Xiao Songxi looked at the sky with a slight look of despair. This was not because of his constant death and being sealed, but because of the vast difference in strength
His opponent just toyed with him and there was nothing he could do about it; if it was not for the Heavenly Dao Protection, he would have died instantly without even being able to react.
This kind of powerlessness and helplessness made Xiao Songxi despaired as he could not see hope for the future.
"Do I have no chance at becoming an Emperor and avenge what that man did to me and my mother?"
He looked at the sky with a daze as he felt that everything was meaningless; that everything that he insisted on was useless. Many voices appeared in his head telling him to just give up and just be content about being the next ruler of the Great Ye Dynasty.
"No, there is still a chance for me," muttered Xiao Songxi. "I can use the power of the enemy to strengthen myself before destroying them."
A crazy plan began to form in his head.
'I can return to the Baizhe Clan and used their resources to further strengthen my bloodline, and slowly gain power from the inside. Then, when I become a Great Emperor, I can destroy their clan and force that man to kneel in front of my mother's grave for the rest of his miserable life.'
A ruthless light flashed across his eyes after thinking about this. He did not care about biting the hand that feed him, or anything related to gratitude. As long as he can avenge his mother, everything else was fine.
After making his plan, Xiao Songxi left. The next day, Wang Wei discovered this fact and a slight smile appeared on his face.
'It seems that my plan worked. After last night's stimulation, this Xiao Songxi should have a strong desire to become more powerful. And the best way to do so is to further activate the Sea Race bloodline inside his body, thus, he must return to his roots.'
Of course, there was a possibility of breaking his Dao Heart and ending his Emperor Path. However, after growing up in such a harsh environment, the latter not only survived but thrived. His Dao Heart cannot compare to a normal individual and his chances of breaking were reduced.
This was was Wang Wei wanted from the beginning: Xiao Songxi's connection to the Sea Race. Because of the location, few things are known about the Sea Race as they are very xenophobic.
Over the years, many sects have used different means to infiltrate there; whether through spies or exchanging resources. But no one managed to infiltrate the core of any of the most powerful clans amongst the Sea Race.
As for Wang Wei, he was both interested in acquiring news about them–especially regarding any Heaven Chosens of their clans. He was also interested in the resources underneath the ocean.
According to his father, the Sea probably has even more resources than the Central Continent. Many Great Emperors have gone to explore deep inside in search of materials to bathe in their Dao Source to cultivate Emperor Ores or Herbs.
Unfortunately, because of the geography, the sea race, and how vast the sea is, it is very difficult to mine resources there. Additionally, many people could see that if left without restriction, one day, the Sea race might become a danger to the human race.
'Hopefully, this Xiao Songxi will become a useful chess piece.'
Wang Wei and Yan Chen bid farewell to sect master Tang Zichen before returning home. He did not immediately rush to the Heavenly Abode World but spent a year with his family.
After all, he has not seen them for over two centuries. So, he decided to relax his mind and make sure that he was in perfect shape before heading there and trying to enter the Primordial Spirit Realm.
During this time, he talked to his grandma and grandfather from his mother's side. He promised to finally visit the Yu Clan after his breakthrough.
Then, once Wang Wei felt that his spirit was at peace and without worry, he finally left for the Heavenly Abode World.
