Capítulo 37: Chapter 34- Slight Regret

A loud splash echoed out as Weisheng's conjured water palm fell back into the pond.

The mutilated body of Weisheng was seen floating towards the edge of the pond. Although he wasn't dead, he was severely injured with all of his internal organs on the verge of shutting down.

Longwei's sword strike was from the legendary Sword Intent, but even though it was powerful enough to leave Weisheng on the verge of death, how Longwei utilized his sword intent was actually a crude way of using it.

It was evident that Longwei still had not grasped the profundities of Sword Intent to use it to its full potential.

Though that still had not stopped Weisheng from nearly dying from his single sword strike. If Weisheng hadn't reduced the blow with his crescent blade and he wasn't wearing his fire armor, he would have most likely died.

If he had used his full cultivation then he could have avoided receiving such a deadly injury, but the Fire Phoenix Clan member hiding within his body prevented him from doing that, so he could get the perfect opportunity to make physical contact with Longwei's body.

If Weisheng had released the seal suppressing his cultivation at that time, Longwei would have never carried out his attack and that good opportunity would have never happened.

At that moment when Weisheng's palm made contact with Longwei's chest, the Fire Phoenix Clan member had released that strange and mysterious frigid energy into Longwei's body.

That was his plan all along. He and the Crescent Moon Sect had conspired to kill Longwei and Longmin within the Yellow Leaf Lesser Pocket Realm. The Fire Phoenix Clan member's original plan was to use some strange method to prevent the Wu Clan's Saint realm expert's Divine imprint from making a move when he carried out his assassination attempt.

The patriarch of the Crescent Moon Sect was hesitant to follow along with this plan, as something like that sounded impossible to him. After all, the Fire Phoenix Clan member was only in the Sage realm, how could he do something like trap a Saint realm's expert's Divine imprint? And worse of all, the method in which the Phoenix Clan member was hiding from the Lesser Pocket Realm's laws prevented him from making a move as well.

But because of the Fire Phoenix Clan member's assurance and his disciple's insistence, he eventually agreed to execute the plan.

'Cough! Cough! Cough!'

Violent coughing came from Weisheng as he had barely managed to crawl out of the pond onto solid ground. With trembling hands, he reached for the storage bag at his side.

One of the benefits of a storage bag, aside from it being able to store large and small inanimate objects, is that it's waterproof and even fireproof as well.

As Weisheng's hands made it to his storage bag, he willed his Spiritual Sense into it and several white recovery pills popped out.

Compared to the one Longmin fed to Longwei, his were a bit lackluster.

That was because the recovery pill Longmin had given to Longwei was a high-quality Rank 2 recovery pill, while his own were mid-grade Rank 3 recovery pills.

The fact that Weisheng's own was a Rank 3 pill did not affect the fact that it was of a lower grade than Longmin's own. It simply meant that they were for Core Formation cultivators to use, while Longmin's one was for Foundation realm cultivators.

Aside from the 9 Ranks of alchemy pills that determine which level of cultivation one should be in to take it, pills are also separated into, low-grade medicinal pills, mid-grade medicinal pills, and high-quality medicinal pills. There are other levels above said levels, but this information is enough for now.

Low-grade pills when concocted, only have a twenty percent medicinal effect, while mid-grade pills have forty percent medicinal effect, and high-quality pills have an eighty percent medicinal effect.

So one could see why Weisheng's mid-grade Rank 3 recovery pills were inferior to Longmin's high-quality Rank 2 recovery pill.

As Weisheng stuffed the mid-grade Rank 3 recovery pills into his mouth, they began to melt and heal his internal injuries, though the rate at which they were healing was slower than Longwei's own.

Even so, the mid-grade Rank 3 recovery pills were still effective enough to stop the bleeding coming from the sword wound on his chest and also caused his ragged breathing to become even.

After a while, Weisheng slowly sat up into a lotus position to actively guide the recovery pill's energy to his wound. This method would make his wound heal faster rather than just letting it passively heal him.

Weisheng's significantly pale face was slowly gaining its regular color, but it was still pale nonetheless. Longwei's attack which he carried out with his Sword Intent, would take a long time to heal for Weisheng. He didn't have to just worry about his severe internal injuries, but he also had to worry about the residue Sword Intent left in his body.

He had to be more focused on that because if he didn't get rid of it and let it remain within his body, the Sword Intent would just aggravate his injuries and prevent him from recovering fully. It might even cause his injuries to become permanent, and affect his cultivation in the future.

As this thought passed through Weisheng's mind, he couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger. He didn't think it was possible, but his hatred for Longwei had actually increased multiple folds.

Sensing Weisheng's emotions, the Fire Phoenix Clan member said, "Remember, only with great risks can the most profit be reaped. Those were your words."

When Weisheng heard that, his face contorted into a hideous expression.

How could he have known that Longwei had comprehended Sword Intent?

The power of that one sword strike had reached the peak of the mid Core Formation realm. Weisheng thought that with his Sun and Moon Scripture boosting his power, Longwei had no other choice but to lose to him. But unexpectedly, he wasn't the only one hiding a card up his sleeve, Longwei had been too and it was the legendary Sword Intent at that.

What was Sword Intent?

It's something all sword masters crave, but them being able to comprehend its profundities was as hard as ascending to the nine heavens.

Longwei being able to use it was out of Weisheng's expectations. Though Weisheng realized that Longwei's use of Sword Intent was different from what he read about, it was a lot weaker.

If Weisheng had been hit with the real Sword Intent, he would have been sliced in two before being reduced to dust. That's how powerful the real Sword Intent from the legends was.

The paleness in Weisheng's face was lessening by the minute, however, his recovery was still going slow.

He had managed to force out around forty percent of Longwei's Sword Intent from his system, but the effort it took to do so was exhausting. Weisheng couldn't help but become slightly scared, if this little bit of Sword Intent comprehended by Longwei was enough to cause this much trouble for him, didn't that mean if Longwei's Sword Intent had been a bit more mature, he could have left him crippled?

Weisheng wanted Longwei dead by all means, but if it's at the cost of his cultivation or his life, then what was the point?

If he was crippled and the plan succeeded, the Crescent Moon Sect would become the rulers of the continent, and then what? Wouldn't he just be thrown off to the side? After all, living in a world of cultivation without cultivation was nothing more than being a useless trash.

And if he ended up being killed, then how the hell could he revel in Longwei's demise and the Wu Clan's destruction, when he himself was dead as well.

Weisheng was slightly regretting the fact that he had said, only with risks can the most profit be reaped. He was all up for it, but not when it prevented him from enjoying those reaped profits.

"Senior brother Weisheng."

The voice of Longmin echoed behind Weisheng.

Weisheng paused his recovery to turn around and what he came face to face with was a smiling Longmin.

Weisheng stood up and bowed towards Longmin, then said, "Greetings, young master Longmin. Young master Longwei was able to injure me within five moves, so I have undoubtedly lost this bet."

Longmin watched as Weisheng respectfully greeted him and admitted his loss, before he said in a mischievous tone, "You know what that means, right?"

Weisheng looked up from his bowed position to see Longmin staring at him with raised brows and a twinkle in his eyes.

'Maybe I shouldn't have taken the bet after all.'

Slight regret flash across Weisheng's mind as he bemoaned his fate.

******

Hey guys I changed the level of alchemy pills from, Grade (number) pills, to Rank (number) pills. I used Rank instead of Grade.

Capítulo 38: Chapter 35- The Fire Phoenix Clan Member’s Hidden Motives

A loud swoosh echoed out as the Sparrow demonic beast took off into the air.

Longmin and Longwei were seated in the same position as before along with their bodyguards. However, there was a new addition to the group, Weisheng was seen sitting slightly ahead between the two bodyguards.

Longwei’s injuries were pretty much already healed, but Weisheng’s was still in the process of healing his own. So far, he managed to remove all the Sword Intent from his body, and now he only had to focus on healing his damaged organs.

Though, that was proving to be slightly difficult, as he would sense Longmin turning around and glancing at him ever so often.

Every time he did, the Fire Phoenix Clan member would start swearing profanities that only he could hear.

For the umpteen time, Longmin turn and glanced at the meditating Weisheng, his eyes flashing unnoticeably for a second before he turned away.

“This irritating brat! In the past few hours, he must have turned around about a hundred times. Every f*cking time he does, it feels as if he’s breaking through my concealment technique inch by inch.”

As the Fire Phoenix Clan member spoke in frustration, Weisheng responded by asking, ‘Remind me why you can’t kill them at this very moment, they’re literally in front of us with their backs turned. If this isn’t the perfect opportunity, then I don’t know what is.’

“I can’t make my move as yet, the process of locking off the Saint realm expert’s Divine Imprint is slow. If I make a move now, then before I could deal the killing blow, that Divine Imprint will awaken and wipe out my soul.”

‘Then how far along is the sealing process?’ Weisheng asked after hearing the Fire Phoenix Clan member’s words.

“Don’t worry, the sealing process will eventually be completed, and when it does, the first thing I’m going to do is gouge out the eyes of that fucking brat.”

Weisheng frowned in his heart.

Even though this soul within him called himself a member of the Fire Phoenix Clan on the Demonic Beast Continent, and had even revealed his true form of a fire phoenix to his master, his master still told him to be wary of him.

This was because, during their negotiations and plans, he would purposely avoid telling the Crescent Moon Sect key information. Due to this, his master felt like he was hiding something from them.

Obviously, his master and the Head Elders of the Crescent Moon Sect were suspicious that the Fire Phoenix Clan was planning to turn against them when the Wu Clan is destroyed. But by that time his master would have already entered the mystical Saint realm.

Even though he would be a newly advanced Saint-level cultivator, the power he would be in control of was not something any major power would dismiss.

When a Sage realm expert makes a move, they have the ability to cover entire cities with a single palm, if they get angry an entire continent would tremble.

However, when a Saint realm expert gets angry, an entire planet will be on the brink of disaster.

That’s why in the past hundreds or even thousands of years, there have never been two continents fighting in an all-out war. The power of their Saint-level experts would cause too much destruction. At most, they would have small-scale battles involving Nirvana realm cultivators and below, or possibly their Sage realm cultivators making a move or two, but they wouldn’t go all out.

That was another reason why his master was so suspicious of this Fire Phoenix Clan member, the fact that his clan, the Fire Phoenix, wanted to start an all-out war involving Saint-level experts.

The reasons were obvious as to why wars spanning two continents hadn’t occurred in the last couple of thousands of years.

And the worst thing of all, the only contact the Crescent Moon Sect had with the Fire Phoenix Clan on the Beast Continent, was through this clan member within his body.

When he had first made contact with the Crescent Moon Sect, it had actually been hundreds of years ago when the sect hadn’t been the number one Sage Sect on the Wu Continent. At that time, the previous clan Patriarch had been tempted by the prospect of ruling over the continent so he agreed to join forces with the Fire Phoenix Clan.

With a Sage-level expert helping them behind the scenes, in only a few centuries they have managed to increase their power and become the number one Sage Sect. Because of this, the little bit of doubt the Crescent Moon Sect harbored was buried away.

And what’s even more, it was during that time his master’s talents began to shine when he was speculated to have the potential to reach the Saint realm, and thus was given the Sect Leader position.

His master in the past was known as a once in a thousand years genius, however, he wasn’t just talented, he also possessed knowledge and intelligence most people couldn’t compare to. When he became the Sect Leader, he started to spot some inconsistencies in this Fire Phoenix Clan member’s information.

However, they were minor and could just be brushed off as simple mistakes or coincidences. Though these mistakes and coincidences started to increase for the last fifteen years or so.

In the past year, when he devised this plan to assassinate the two sons of the Wu Clan’s Patriarch, was when the inconsistencies increased even more.

Like the fact that he had revealed his ability to conceal his presence from the Lesser Pocket Realm’s laws. If he had mentioned that in the past, it could have helped the Crescent Moon Sect on multiple occasions.

Another one was the fact that he said, he had to carry out his assassination attempt after sealing the Divine Imprint of the Wu Clan’s Saint realm expert.

Wasn’t that contradictory? He was able to seal a Saint realm’s Divine Imprint, but did not have the power to stand up to a single blow from it?

When he was asked about this fact, he stated that it was just how his technique worked, not giving any further information.

Weisheng was even told by his master that the Fire Phoenix Clan member might be hiding his true cultivation. Because of that, his master had only allowed him to carry out this mission on one condition, that he placed a seal within him that protected his soul if anything occurred.

The seal within him didn’t only suppress his cultivation, it also acted as a barrier, to prevent the Fire Phoenix Clan member from directly coming into contact with his soul.

After hearing his master’s condition, the Fire Phoenix Clan member had agreed to the seal's placement without any protests.

As Weisheng went over the information his master told him, while speculating the Fire Phoenix Clan member’s true motives, he suddenly heard Longmin yell.

“Quickly stop!!”

As Longmin’s voice echoed out, the massive Sparrow came to a screeching halt.

Longmin then stood up and said, “Go down from here, hurry.”

Upon Longmin’s command, the bodyguard controlled his Sparrow demonic beast to dive through the clouds towards the ground.

Longwei looked over at Longmin and asked, “Little brother what’s wrong?”

Longmin didn’t answer and only pointed ahead, at the forest that was now becoming visible as the Sparrow dived further down.

“Over there.”

Longwei and the rest looked over in that direction, and faintly saw silhouettes of people rushing through the forest.
