System's Super Sect-Chapter 641 - 638. Final Preparations Before Heading to the Hundred Sects Alliance Headquarters
His future should lie beyond the Heaven and Earth Lake.
In that much broader world.
There, he can say to every opponent he defeats, "Your killer, the Demon Race Golden Flash—Ying Zhao!"
There, he can say to every expert who flees at the sight of him, "Run then, remember the fear this king brings you!"
Imagining these scenes, the corners of Ying Zhao’s mouth revealed a smug smile.
"Fourth King, what’s wrong?"
Yu Jiang, beside him, was confused.
Why does the Fourth King smile so... foolishly?
Thinking this, Yu Jiang hurriedly swallowed the thought and then tried to erase it from his mind.
After all, conjecturing like this about the Fourth King would be greatly disrespectful.
Ying Zhao quickly collected his smile and explained, "It’s nothing, this king was just involuntarily thinking about his future."
"Fourth King, then we..."
"Go! To the Immortal Sect, today this king will join the Immortal Sect, embarking on the journey to become an Unparalleled Demon Emperor."
"Uh-huh..."
The previous sentence was left unfinished; this one though.
Yu Jiang was speechless.
He was used to it.
He was used to it.
The Fourth King always liked to say things like this.
Such drama.
Clearly only at the Divine Profound Realm...
Opening the door, Ying Zhao and Yu Jiang headed towards the Immortal Sect.
Due to the maze array, Yu Jiang could only let Ying Zhao wait at the foot of the mountain, while he went up to find Wen Ping.
During Ying Zhao’s wait, a group of people came from the other end of the street, looking very aggressive. Especially the three leading figures of Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression, Ying Zhao took one look and involuntarily stepped back, his mind immediately picturing them trying to capture him.
His fists clenched tightly. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
The hostility in his eyes was very clear.
When Yun Jing and the others arrived, seeing that Ying Zhao was also about to ascend to the Immortal Sect, they immediately smiled.
At this smile, Ying Zhao felt a chill in his heart.
A smile with hidden daggers!
Indeed, the people of the Hundred Sects Alliance are no ordinary characters, as cunning as he had seen and heard.
"Do you think I would believe that’s a genuine smile? Hmph... Trying to make this king relax his guard, then capture me to claim credit? Dream on!" Ying Zhao muttered inwardly, then revealed a contemptuous smile.
Words of warning naturally flowed from his lips.
"This king doesn’t believe you’d dare act! This king is about to join the Immortal Sect, to become a member of it. If you dare act, Situ Xiuneng is your precedent!"
Yun Jing and the others were instantly stunned.
Their smiles froze.
Afterward, they looked at each other, just as Yun Jing was about to say something, Ying Zhao spoke again.
"No need to pretend; this king has seen through you!"
After saying this, Ying Zhao retreated two more steps, leaning against the Sword Stele behind him, to maintain the demeanor a son of the Demon Emperor should have. Of course, this demeanor relied on the Sword Stele, otherwise it would seem insincere.
Ge Jiao, upon hearing this, immediately lost his temper.
"Elder Yun, ignore him, he’s crazy. We said nothing, did nothing, and he keeps acting like this."
Ge Jiao immediately intended to ascend the Thousand Layers, while Yun Jing and the others nodded, only choosing not to speak with Ying Zhao.
She really couldn’t understand the mindset of this son of the Demon Emperor.
Just as the group from the Wanderer Lodge was about to ascend to the Immortal Sect, Yu Jiang descended hastily from above.
"Fourth King..." Just shouting this, he saw Yun Jing and the others, hurriedly raised his hand to stop them, "Everyone, the Sect Leader is currently in seclusion, so you cannot go up to the Immortal Sect."
"He’s in seclusion?"
"How long will Sect Leader Wen be in seclusion?"
Yun Jing and the others quickly asked.
"I don’t know... The Sect Leader didn’t say when he would return from seclusion. But he instructed that no one should disturb him." Yu Jiang’s words were intended for both Yun Jing and Ying Zhao.
Upon hearing this, the group’s faces immediately showed a hint of disappointment.
The members of the Wanderer Lodge were disappointed because the reception gifts they prepared couldn’t be delivered.
And Ying Zhao’s disappointment lay in his journey to become an unrivaled Demon Emperor being postponed.
...
Wind Valley.
Meanwhile, Wen Ping, having summoned and examined the undead creature of Half-Step Earth Unrestricted last night, felt it was still not secure enough. After all, this journey was to the true headquarters of the Hundred Sects Alliance.
There were three Half-Step Earth Unrestricted experts there!
So, his power needs to be boosted yet again. However, at this time, whether it’s advancing the Spirit Body or increasing proficiency in Expelliarmus, neither can be significantly enhanced in a short period. That leaves only one option!
Wind’s Shackles!
Improving the realm of Wind Binding Skill cannot only be achieved through practice but also through repeated trials.
This concept is similar to swinging the Ten Layers Tower.
Wind Binding Skill in Minor Success can forcibly control the enemy for three breaths, but in Perfection, it can control the enemy for six breaths.
Wen Ping wants to try if he can increase Wind Binding Skill to Great Success or Perfection in the coming days.
Being able to lengthen the shackling time by one breath is immensely crucial during a battle.
Because a duel between masters often hinges on that slight difference.
And precisely such a difference can mean loss or victory, life or death.
He had just tried a few times, passing through all stone arches, each requiring an hour.
With two and a half days, or about 60 hours remaining before the adventure begins, this means at least 60 trial runs. He felt each Wind Binding trial run brings significant improvement.
Wind Binding Skill, which has remained at Minor Success, is like a tortoise starting to crawl towards the finish line!
"Host, now the people from Wanderer Lodge and son of the Demon Emperor are at the foot of Yunlan Mountain; are you sure you don’t want to meet them?"
"No meeting!" Wen Ping sweated profusely, gritted his teeth, and spat out two words as he moved forward.
At this moment, Wen Ping could afford no distractions.
Adding strength for the adventure task is the most important thing.
If the adventure task isn’t completed, the Wanderer Lodge choosing to surrender and the Demon Emperor’s son inheriting fleeting power means little.
"The host’s current Wind Binding can shackle a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted existence; if Wind Binding and undead creature can defeat a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted expert from the Hundred Sects Alliance, perhaps the second tier of the adventure task will be hopeful."
"I’ve long thought this through."
Wen Ping expressed disdain for the system’s hindsight.
"Then let me tell you what the host doesn’t know. Given the host’s current progress, even if 60 trials are completed, Wind Binding Skill can at most be upgraded to Great Success. In Great Success, Wind Binding Skill only increases the shackling time by one breath."
"Can I securely enter the Great Success Realm?"
"No problem. But the premise is the host continues tirelessly during these days to possibly increase this one breath."
"Understood!"
Wen Ping was instantly overjoyed.
Being able to securely enter is good; shackling a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted expert for one more breath can very likely tilt the scales of victory directly! After all, one breath means numerous strikes for a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted expert, causing multiple injuries to the enemy!
