The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 628 - 629: Observing in Secret
Chapter 628 -629: Observing in Secret
“Alright, next you can undergo the Wheel Supplement and achieve the Ten Cycles of Nirvana. I believe you will have a different future,” Lin Qian said as he waved his hand at the bewildered-looking boy in front of him and then, taking Ye Xin by the hand, turned to leave.
The boy sitting on the ground watched the retreating figure of the young man, his heart churning like the waves behind him.
“Senior!”
Lin Qian heard the shout from behind and turned around, curious. He then saw the weak boy rush up to him, kneel on the white sand, bow his head so that his forehead pressed hard against the scorching sand, “Senior, please, I beg you, take me as your disciple!”
The scorching heat of the fire poison sunlight beat down on the boy, sweat oozed from his body, and with his eyes clenched shut and his teeth gritted, it was as if he awaited judgment.
Lin Qian looked down at the boy kneeling on the ground, a playful smile spreading across his face, “Really? And why is that?”
“Because I want to be strong like you, to not be bullied by others, and when I encounter someone who is weak and being abused, I want to have the courage to help just like you do, to rescue them from their despair!” the frail boy roared, his voice filled with gratitude towards Lin Qian and an aspiration to emulate him.
Seeing the boy kneeling before Lin Qian, Ye Xin looked curiously at her man, wondering what choice he would make.
“I’m afraid you don’t understand the pressure that will come with being my disciple. It won’t be easy. And I can’t just casually take you as my pupil,” Lin Qian finally spoke to the boy after a long pause.
The boy kneeling in the sand suddenly opened his eyes widely, filled with a look of despondency.
“However…”
Just then, Lin Qian’s voice sounded again, reigniting hope in the boy’s eyes.
“I can give you an opportunity. When I come to find you next time, if you can satisfy me, I’ll take you as a disciple. If not, then our fateful connection will only be as far as this one Cultivation Technique.” Lin Qian finished speaking, and the boy couldn’t hear his voice anymore, feeling no movement after a good while.
Eventually, the boy mustered his courage and slowly lifted his head, only to find a scroll quietly lying on the sandy beach in front of him, while the figures of Lin Qian and Ye Xin had completely disappeared.
“Senior?” The boy looked around and called out a few times. Not finding Lin Qian or Ye Xin again, he slowly picked up the scroll on the ground.
After carefully examining the scroll, the boy discovered it contained a Cultivation Technique, one that was far superior to what he had been practicing.
“Next time we meet, to what extent must I go to satisfy the senior?” After carefully memorizing the Cultivation Technique, the boy furrowed his brow, confused by Lin Qian’s ambiguous words.
Did he need to be strong enough to reach a certain Realm?
Based on the scroll left by Lin Qian, the boy guessed silently. But at that moment, he thought of his grandfather and suddenly shook his head, “Instead of wandering thoughts, I might as well live out my own life as grandpa said. When the time comes, whether I can satisfy the senior will be left to fate.”
“The more you care, the easier it is to lose!”
This was the warning left in the boy’s mind by his grandfather.
Following that, the boy cast his gaze towards the corpses of the thugs, his eyes showing a disdainful expression. However, when he saw the storage pouches left on their bodies, his eyes lit up.
After looting the storage bags from the group of evildoers, the young man organized the items inside and his expression gradually became resolute, “Firstly, becoming stronger is the most important thing. To help others, one must first make oneself powerful enough.”
It seemed that afterward, the young man dragged the corpses of the group of evildoers to the land on the island, dug holes, and buried the bodies, “If you hadn’t been so greedy, how would you have ended up dead?”
Looking at the mounds of earth in front of him, the young man shook his head to himself, “Taking your belongings can be considered the fee for burying you.”
After doing all this, the young man found a place on the deserted island that could shelter him from the wind and rain, and began to enter into cultivation.
The first thing he did after starting his cultivation was to begin wheel-fortifying.
However, the young man did not know that not far from him, Lin Qian and Ye Xin were silently observing him. They were covered in Soul Power, forming an Illusion Array, thus the other party had no idea they were there.
“It really is convenient, this Soul-Gathered Array.” Lin Qian enviously remarked as he looked at the dense stars made of Soul Power around his body, forming nodes of the Array that condensed into an Illusion Array, “It looks like Xinxin has already learned the abilities of Emperor Teacher Zhang Juncheng.”
“How about it, Little Qian, do you want to learn too?” Seeing the look in Lin Qian’s eyes, Ye Xin shook her index finger teasingly, “What a pity, when Little Qian was learning from Senior Zhang, the Array would only explode upon condensing.”
“…” Hearing Ye Xin’s teasing, Lin Qian’s face reddened, embarrassed.
As she said, he indeed had wanted to learn the Sword Array from Zhang Juncheng, but sadly, the moment the Sword Qi condensed into the Array, a series of explosions occurred.
After exploding hundreds of times, even the patient Zhang Juncheng ran out of patience and chased Lin Qian away in annoyance, “Your Majesty’s aptitude is beyond my help.”
Lin Qian could only helplessly give up.
“Night Cat, Wind, appear!” Just then, Lin Qian called out softly, and a gust of wind and a black mist materialized, revealing two figures behind him.
They were two martial generals of the Ninth Level Transcendence Realm, each specialized in swift wind and night shadow tactics.
“You two observe this young man in secret and report all his actions to the Heavenly Art Department. Also, tell the Heavenly Art Department to present the reports to me on a monthly basis, in detail.”
“Remember, do not let him discover your presence. You may only intervene to save him if he is on the brink of death. If you must act, try not to let him realize it, and if intervening threatens your own lives, there is no need to act. Understood?”
“Understood!”
After Lin Qian gave the orders, the two bowed respectfully, retreated backward, and disappeared into the dense forest of the deserted island.
After issuing his instructions, Lin Qian also rose into the sky with Ye Xin, returning to their specially made Cloud Boat, and continued on their journey toward the western continent.
The young man, still immersed in his cultivation, could never have imagined that taking those evildoers’ belongings and burying their bodies would change his fate.
At the very least, it allowed Lin Qian to see the goodness in his heart, and by burying those evildoers, he not only offered them a modicum of respect but also enriched the soil, which was perfect.
Of course, if Lin Qian were to do it, he would simply turn them into ash with his Red Gold Thunder Soul Power, considering burying a waste of land.
