940 Counterattack

"Your Majesty," saluted Xu Shi and Feng Heng, and Wang Wei nodded to them. The two watched them, each feeling somewhat lost. The intruder's strength was on par with them, but the Heavenly Emperor defeated him only using his aura. In other words, their fate would not be much different if they ever confronted the latter.
The two knew the Heavenly Emperor's strength. After all, they guess his strength based on the terror they feel whenever they think of confronting him. However, they did not know exactly how powerful he was until now. No, even now, they do not know the limit to his power.
"I called you to make a deal," said Wang Wei directly. "I want you to attack someone along with his faction. In exchange, I will give you each the merit to increase your cultivation by 1% of the Grand Dao Source."
The two immediately frowned. The offer was tempting. After all, cultivating in their realm was extremely difficult, and even an increase of 1% is harder than cultivating from a mortal to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
Currently, both Xu Shi and Feng Heng's base cultivation was 21% Grand Dao
Source. Since the first court meeting, each increased their cultivation by 1%, and such progress was extremely fast by any standard.
They achieved this result due to many factors, such as the merit from the court, the blessing from Heaven and Earth as
Gods, their Dao Discussion after the second meeting, the increase of Soul Power after the exchange with the Emperor, and their use of Time Formation.
Xu Shi's main Dao is Time, so she can work with the Dao Ancestors from the Academy that cultivated Array Dao. Meanwhile, Feng Heng has the [Past, Present, Future Buddha Scroll] as an aid. Only with all these boosts did they achieve an increase of 1% in their cultivation in a little over a thousand years.
However, despite the benefits, they felt something was wrong, so they did not immediately agree.
"Your Majesty, why aren't you attacking them yourselves or using members of your sect."
"I'm sending you to gather information," replied Wang Wei, deciding that telling the truth was the best course of action in this situation. "My intuition tells me something in that world can pose a threat to me, so I want to send you two to gather information."
"Your majesty–"
"I know what you want to say," said Wang Wei. "I'm not sending you to your death. I will give you a talisman with my strength.
You can use it to deal with the situation or run away if dangers arise. Furthermore, I will also take action to save you."
The two became quiet, calculating the risks involved.
"Your majesty, this poor monk wants to know what exactly can hurt you in that world."
Wang Wei looked at him, "It's a broken Empyrean Artifact." Such news would be best to remain unknown. However, he did not care; if he wished to hide some information, he could wipe it from people's minds or even directly erase it from the annals of history.
Of course, he revealed such information directly because it was not truly his main worry. He felt something odd with the Spirit Genesis Sect–especially He Shiyi. So, he did not rush to destroy them and chose this way to test the water first.
Xu Shi and Feng Heng became quiet again.
At their cultivation level, they knew plenty of secrets of Heaven and Earth, so they knew how powerful Empyreans were. They could guess how terrible an artifact of such a level would be, even a broken one.
"You don't need to worry too much about the artifact. True Heavenly Dao limits its power because of the Balance Mechanism."
Wang Wei suddenly paused, "Well, you might need to worry about it. To balance my presence, True Heavenly Dao has probably lowered the restrictions on its usage."
"What sect do you want to attack? How powerful are they? How powerful is the target?" asked Xu Shi.
"The Spirit Genesis Sect from the Battle Spirit World. Their sect is very powerful, and they have two Immortal Sovereigns.
However, one of them is injured, so you only need to worry about one of them.
"As for He Shiyi? I don't know how powerful he is."
Every time Wang Wei tried to deduce information about him, a terrifying aura blocked his power, so he guessed He Shiyi's body was somewhat infected by the Empyrean Artifact's aura.
"My guess is he won't be much different than you two. If he is indeed too powerful, you can directly use my talisman to deal with him."
The two pondered for a moment before Feng Heng said, "This mission seemed a little too dangerous for the poor monk."
Wang Wei glanced at this shameless monk, "Final offer, merit for 2% increase in Grand Dao Source, 3 Emperor Soul Pill and 1 Grand Dao Enlightening Pill, each."
"Make it 5 Emperor Soul Pill and 3 Grand Dao Enlightening Pill, and we have a deal," argued Xu Shi. "Anyway, after dealing with the Dao Burial Ground, you won't lack the material for these pills."
"Fine, but you must do your best and push him to reveal his trump card. Furthermore, you must do your best to keep the battle in their territory, causing as much damage as possible."
A ruthless light flashed in his eyes. He knew such a plan would cause mass casualties amongst the mortals living in the Spirit Genesis Sect, but he did not care. These mortals provided luck and destiny to the Genesis Sect, so their destruction could also weaken them.
'My hand is already stained, so there is no need to care about a few more red spots,' thought Wang Wei.
Feng Heng appeared conflicted after hearing these conditions but only sighed and muttered: "Amitabha!" He chanted a few prayers and did not say another word.
"Do you want me to sign a contract?" asked Wang Wei.
"There is no need. We believe your words," said Xu Shi.
"In that case, let's fine-tune the plan," nodded Wang Wei, who spent the next half hour talking to these two. Afterward, Xu Shi and Feng Heng returned to their factions after taking the talismans from Wang Wei.
Meanwhile, the mighty Heavenly Emperor looked in the distance, his eyes ignoring the very concept of space. He used his Divine Sense to send a message to someone countless World Communities away. Finally, his projection dispersed, waiting for the plan to begin.
The world immediately entered a state of quiet. No one knew what these three almighty beings discussed, but they had a hunch something big was about to happen.
Sea Race, Baishe Clan:
Ao Shen watched the three discuss something in the sky before dispersing. He clenched his hands, almost forcing his nail to pierce his skin.
'Is it because I'm not an Emperor?'
Unwillingness flashed in his eyes before returning to his focus state. 'I need to hurry.' His previous plan was to use subtle and diplomatic ways to get what he wanted. Now, he no longer wanted to wait.
The Sea Race, Ancient Clan, and Sword Casting Villa wondered what was going on and whether there were benefits to gain.
It's obvious that Eternal Strength is the requirement for what's coming, but they wondered why the Heavenly Emperor did not choose them. Is it because he only wanted Emperors, or does he look down on them?
A person like the Heavenly Emperor has too much influence. His thoughts,
ideologies, and beliefs can greatly influence the world; even a passing joke he made could greatly change the world for the better or worse.
As such, many people began to overthink, letting their minds run wild. However, Wang Wei did not know what was going on, nor did he care; his focus was only on what was about to happen in the Battle Spirit World.
After handling things back in their sect, Xu Shi and Feng Heng departed to the Battle Spirit World Community. It would have taken them a few hours to arrive at their destination due to their strength and the far distance of the community relative to the Myriad Emperor World.
However, Wang Wei directly teleported them inside the Battle Spirit World while hiding their tracts; he did not want the Qi Luck Dragon of the Spirit Genesis Sect to detect its faction was about to experience a catastrophe. He also did not want He
Shiyi's Sixth Sense to warn him of the upcoming attack, so Wang Wei directly acted and hid the tract of these people.
Luckily, things proceeded smoothly after his carefulness. Then, according to the plan, Feng Heng hid while Xu Shi directly attacked. A towering hand containing the power of time descended on a beautiful palace at the very center of the entire plane.
"Who dares!" roared a voice before a young man appeared above the sect–He Shiyi. He was dressed in black and gold, with a noble and mighty temperament.
'Damn it, I'm too late,' he thought as he activated the sect's arrays. His actions protected most of the sect, but some of the powers will still pass in. Furthermore, he did not have time to protect the surroundings, meaning anything or anyone not in the scope of the formation would be annihilated.n-)o-)V(-e/.l)/b/-I((n
