Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 997 - 268: A Clash with the Water Virtue Star Lord
"You are not only immensely talented, you have grown to such an extent in such a short period. Moreover, you can even be described as daring to the extreme. Ordinary cultivators, even if they knew what that Jiao Immortal had done, wouldn’t dare to ascend to Heavenly Court and seek justice, eliminate demons, and maintain the Tao. Yet what others dare not do, you have the courage to do. You didn’t just make your way into Heavenly Court, you even went so far as to slay that Jiao Immortal."
At this point, the Water Virtue Star Lord’s gaze couldn’t help but drift toward the Demon-slaying Sword in Fan Wu’s hand. His demeanor toward Fan Wu was so calm, and he could even speak of such matters with such equanimity, partly because he had some dealings with Fan Wu before, and the other reason, naturally, was that very sword! Possessing a certain authority, the Demon-slaying Sword signified that the True Martial Great Emperor was paying attention to this Fan Wu!
True Martial Great Emperor... His status in Heavenly Court was extremely unique, as well as loftily elevated. Strictly speaking, he was not an Immortal Official with any rank, not a first-grade, second-grade, or third-grade Immortal Official. Because he... had already transcended beyond such ranks, reaching a whole new level.
In any case... compared to the True Martial Great Emperor, he, the Water Virtue Star Lord, didn’t stand a chance! Even to mention comparison was already elevating him, the Water Virtue Star Lord. To tell the truth, the Water Virtue Star Lord didn’t previously understand why the True Martial Great Emperor took an interest in this Fan Wu. Now, he felt he should know that such a person was indeed worthy of attention.
How much time has passed, has it been half a year? It should be just about half a year! In just half a year’s time, to have grown from a weak cultivator to a level capable of clashing with Immortal Gods. How astonishing is that? Even the Water Virtue Star Lord thought it was too exaggerated!
The Water Virtue Star Lord even felt that even if he hadn’t taken the initiative, Fan Wu might have found a way to leave Heavenly Court on his own accord. After all, returning to the mortal realm from Heavenly Court is not particularly difficult. If one chooses to adopt some simpler and more straightforward methods, it becomes even easier.
"Everyone has their secrets; I won’t ask how you became so powerful in such a short time." Although he felt that Fan Wu’s strength was closely related to the True Martial Great Emperor, he didn’t voice this connection.
Instead, the Water Virtue Star Lord said, "You’ve caused quite a stir in Heavenly Court, and many Immortal Gods have taken notice, but I’ve stopped them. Now that the Jiao Immortal is slain by you, you must have completed your task, right?"
"Indeed," Fan Wu nodded, his only purpose in coming to Heavenly Court was to kill the Jiao Immortal; the reason he caused so much trouble was simply that those Immortal Gods were too arrogant.
Whether it was those two Golden Armor Deity Generals or the hundreds of Heavenly Soldiers, each and every one of them shared a similar nature, with not a single one of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals willing to listen to his explanation.
The consequence of not wanting to listen to Daoist Fan Wu’s explanation was quite clear; these Heavenly Soldiers and Generals all suffered heavy blows.
Had it not been for the Water Virtue Star Lord who stepped in to treat them, they would have likely been in pain for quite a long time.
"So... how shall I leave this Heavenly Court?"
There was nothing worthwhile to stay for in Heavenly Court.
After all, the Water Virtue Star Lord had already come out to mediate this conflict. If Fan Wu continued to escalate the situation, wouldn’t that be a disregard for the Water Virtue Star Lord’s face? Judging from the attitudes of those Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, as well as the several moves the Water Virtue Star Lord had revealed earlier, the Water Virtue Star Lord was undoubtedly an Immortal God of high status and great power in Heavenly Court, mainly because Fan Wu couldn’t see his attribute information.
[Water Virtue Star Lord—Life: ? —Power: ? —Technique:?]A glance at such attribute information was enough to know that this was not someone he, Fan Wu, could afford to provoke. Fan Wu was certainly not the kind of man who acted recklessly upon meeting anyone; he also judged whether the other party was formidable and whether he could take them down. Clearly, it was not appropriate to have any conflict with the Water Virtue Star Lord, and moreover, there was no need for conflict.
"There are generally two ways," the Water Virtue Star Lord said with a smile, patiently explaining to Fan Wu, "The first method is for me to send you down. It can be done with a wave of my hand. The second, which involves some danger, is to break through the auspicious clouds beneath your feet. From this Heavenly Court, leap down. By doing so, you could also return to the mortal realm."
Which of these two methods to choose? The former is certainly the most convenient, however, Fan Wu didn’t prefer it. Fan Wu grinned and said, "For me, I’m more suited to... the latter method, returning to the mortal realm. However, before leaving, I have a favor to ask, and wonder... whether the Water Virtue Star Lord would agree? It’s just a small matter, after all."
"Oh?" The Water Virtue Star Lord was quite surprised, not expecting Daoist Fan Wu of Qiulong Temple to make such a request. However, the Water Virtue Star Lord didn’t mind and replied with a smile, "What’s it about? Feel free to speak your mind. If it’s within my power, perhaps, I’ll lend you a hand."
