Chapter 1786: Peaceful Mind
Everyone in the ancestral hall looked up at the sky, their mouths open. They thought the First Elder was about to use his trump card, maybe even perish with the enemy and save the clan. Who knew this person wouldn’t even give them a chance, let alone annihilate their hope? Who knew their top-tier array that should have been able to block a few attacks from a 5-star Ancestor Fiendgod couldn’t withstand four punches?
Wang Wei remained calm and composed; it was as if what he had done was not just killing a powerhouse that was close to the limit of [Immortality] — it was as if he had just stepped on one of the countless ants he had accidentally killed in his life. Without paying much attention to these people’s feelings, Wang Wei snapped his finger.
An invisible wave of the Power of Nothingness spread to every corner of this mountain. Subsequently, the members of the Shuiwa Clan watched as every member of their clan who had opened the second gate and above scattered as if their bodies were composed of sand particles. A smile crept on the corner of Wang Wei’s mouth. He likes this world because eliminating enemies is so easy. As long as he suppresses their Will Immortality with his Will Domination, he can kill anyone. Meanwhile, back home, he would have to go through the extra labor of traveling through time to kill even a regular Boundless Paragon.
"This is your revenge, so I’ll let you choose," Wang Wei suddenly said to Wangchen. "Do you want only to kill the cultivators or everyone?"
"Everyone," Wangchen said without pause or hesitation. "Since they killed every mortal of my clan, I will return the favor." These words immediately sent chills down the survivors’ spines. Their tragic fate was thus decided, but the sad part is that they couldn’t say anything after what they themselves had done.
Wang Wei did not comment on the young man’s choice. He waved his hand, and all the people remaining on the mountain flew into the sky, forming two groups. A small group was on the side, while the others were arranged by cultivation, from mortals to those who have opened the Gate of Ascension.
Glancing at the small group, he said, "Identify yourself and your relationship to the Shuiwa Clan."
"...I am Linjuang from the Heavyearth Diqiusi Clan, and I was just invited to witness the competition."
"...I am Cheng’an from the Puresword Jingshuli Clan, and the Shuiwa clan wanted to form a marriage alliance, but our clan has refused."
"I-I am Peng’an from the Heavenforest Mutousha Clan, and the Shuiwa Clan wanted to buy spiritual herbs from us. I didn’t know they were that kind of person. Luckily, I haven’t agreed yet.
"I’m Shenglong from the Brightflame Fusan Clan, and the Shuiwa Clan forced me to come."
"Liar," Wangchen snapped. "Our clan is from the same lineage, and not only did you not do anything after our annihilation, you even curried favor with our killers?"
"No-No, you misunderstand," Shenlong swiftly replied. "The Shuiwa Clan threatened us to come here, or our fate will be the same as yours." No matter what, he will insist on this story, or their Brightflame Fusan clan will garner a terrible reputation, which would then force all the other Fusan Lineages to marginalize them.
A sturdy hand suddenly found itself on Wangchen’s shoulder, calming his erupting emotions. "It seems the Shuiwa Clan was planning a Five Element Alliance — what grand ambitions," Wang Wei uttered. His words immediately changed these people’s faces. Although it was only for a brief period before these old foxes swiftly controlled themselves, such changes did not escape a master of reading facial expression, such as Wang Wei, or even Wangchen, who was taught the ways of reading people’s emotions from his teacher.
"Regardless of the truth, since you had nothing to do with the Fusan Clan’s annihilation, you can leave."
"Teacher!" Wangchen wanted to say more, but when he saw that glance, he stopped himself. He was not stupid. On the contrary, he could be considered quite brilliant, so it did not take him long to understand. His teacher was only here to end the karma of the Fusan Clan’s destruction. That’s what he promised, and that’s only what he’s going to do. As for everything else involved, it has nothing to do with him.
"Thank you, Sir," Shenglong was the first to say. He clenched his fist, put the right fist on top of the left, and clapped them together vertically three times, showing the highest respect. He did not know whether this person was telling the truth, but this may be the only chance of survival. So, he rushed out of the array; a deep breath of relief escaped his mouth after he had successfully passed through the barrier. The others immediately followed. First, saying thank you, then giving Wang Wei the highest salute, and running out of this place.
He controlled the burning flame in Wangchen’s eyes as he glanced at those people’s departing backs. He then exhaled to regain his bearing before focusing on the task at hand: his revenge. With a flicker of his wrist, a terrifying force instantly killed all the mortals of the Shuiwa Clan. Whether it was women, the elderly, or even children, no one was spared by that attack.
Wangchen’s cold and indifferent gaze turned to the remaining survivors: "My teacher will not interfere from now on. So, if any of you can kill me, your clan will survive this catastrophe."
Was this true? Was there hope for their clan? Unfortunately, neither Wangchen nor Wang Wei would clarify. Wangchen even immediately started his slaughter of the low-tier cultivators. Meanwhile, the few Great Emperors of the clan (First Gate Opener) didn’t know whether the teacher would accept ganging up on the disciple, so they glanced at each other and waited. At least, most of them did.
One of them could not accept watching all her clan members being slaughtered. So, while Wangchen was still in the process of gathering momentum, she rushed to attack him. The tide of battle immediately shifted. Wangchen was on the verge of opening his gate, but he still hadn’t. Meanwhile, his opponent was a full-blown Emperor by the standards of other timelines.
Luckily for him, his Willpower Manifestation was purer than his opponent’s, and his control over it was greater. More importantly, she hadn’t mastered Will Domination. So, while he was losing and losing badly, each passing moment allowed him to gather more and more momentum until he reached a precipice.
Boom!
The momentum reached the requirement, and a new characteristic was added to Wangchen’s [Existence]: the Invincible Heart. This attribute was not about being invincible and never being defeated, but having a determined heart to face any challenge, any battle, and remain steadfast and dedicated until victory is achieved.
"So, the rules of this world don’t allow a Taboo Battle Realm," Wang Wei analyzed. After the technique had succeeded, Wangchen’s strength was supposed to reach the Great Emperor Realm without opening the Gate of Ascension. However, what happened instead was that the gate was opened, and the power from the Battle Taboo Realm allowed him to make great strides in his cultivation after entering the Dragon-Phoenix Realm. In a matter of seconds, his cultivation caught up to his opponent, who could be considered to be in the middle stages of the fifth level.
After this breakthrough, the fate of the Moonwater Shuiwa Clan was sealed. Even after the other First Gate powerhouses ganged up on him, the result did not change. Wangchen has fought some of the most brilliant talents from two worlds. His techniques, ingenuity, battle IQ, and control over his body were on another level. Adding the fact that his Yin-Yang Dao allows him to suppress the Water Dao of the Shuiwa Clan, their eventual slaughter was an inevitable conclusion.
After Wangchen killed the last remaining clan member, he closed his eyes for more than an hour. As time passed, his arrogant, overbearing momentum — along with his anger, sadness, and grief — slowly faded, replaced by peace and clarity. The sharp sword has been sheathed. But that didn’t mean it was no longer sharp, just that it wouldn’t show its edge to anyone.
"Your state of mind has been sublimated, and the foundation for the Will Domination is set up," Wang Wei nodded. "Now, I just need to get your clan’s inheritance and bring you close to the holy land, and our karma will be finished. Let’s go."
Wang Wei slowly flew away, but the person who should have been following him did not.
"Why?" Wangchen suddenly asked. "Why did you give me your name if this is what you were going to do in the first place? Why give me that name if it means nothing in the end?"
"I did it on a whim," Wang Wei replied without looking back. "Sometimes, I’m in a spontaneous mood and do things like that." He was lying. He never does anything on a whim. Every move is calculated.
The reason he gave the kid his name was to form a deep karmic bond with him. In the future, after becoming a Primordial Saint or a Tribunal Saint, he’ll use this karmic link to return to this world. And with the name as their causality bond, it won’t matter whether Wangchen is dead by then; he can still use it to find this unique world.
