Chapter 1733: Great Merit Clan

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Wang Guo pondered. This deal or accord might not be a bad idea. Just as the Qiyuan’s branch wished to unite the family, Wang Guo possessed such ambition. Everybody knows the best way for either side to achieve this goal is to become a Saint and use overwhelming force. However, there will be severe resistance — especially on Qiyuan’s side, since they have a deep bond with the Mother Buddha.

’With this agreement, I won’t have to worry about her intervening,’ Wang Guo analyzed. ’Everybody is on the same starting line, so who knows who will be the first. While Qiyuan still had a slight advantage with Maitreya as an ally, it’s not too obvious with the existence of the Exchange List. Plus, I could find myself an ally as well from the Chaos Demon Gods.’

No matter which direction he analyzed this deal, the Heaven Opening Emperor only sees the benefit. So, he finally glanced at Wang Wei and said, "I can agree, but under two conditions."

"Go ahead," Wang Wei motioned with his left hand.

"First, Heaven Will Saint will not count for this bet."

’It seems news about Wang Bo might have been leaked,’ Wang Wei thought. It wasn’t long enough that he used his [Existence Observation Technique] to cleanse many of the sect’s spies, but now, they seem to have already replenished their numbers. With their infinite life, these top factions can plan billions of years in advance to eventually achieve their goal.

"I’m fine with that," Wang Wei nodded.

"Secondly, if Wu Hong is the first to sanctify, she cannot participate."

"Participate in what way? If you mean she cannot directly attack your clan and help us with the unification, I can agree. But if you also mean she cannot preach or share her experience. I must decline."

Wang Guo frowned. The advantage Qiyuan’s branch will have with Wu Hong is too much, but he also understands that it’s unfair to ask them to abandon such an upper hand. In the cultivation world, friends or connections are also a form of power; it’s a manifestation of charisma and emotional intelligence.

’Well, there is no guarantee that Wu Hong will be the first. She’s not here, so if I use the advantage of this expedition’s Merit List, I can create an overwhelming lead compared to Qiyuan and the others.’ Wang Guo never saw Wang Wei as his opponent. No matter how heaven-defying his talent is, it does not change the fact that he was young.

Although recent information indicated that Wang Wei was already an A-Class Primal with three Grand construct mastery, there is still a long way before he can master the remaining three, start his three Transcendent Foundations, create his own method, and attempt to sanctify. By the time he reached such a state, Wang Guo was confident he would have already completed most of these steps — if not all of them.

"Alright," Wang Guo agreed. The next step was to discuss a few more clauses, including not running away when failure seems in sight, not dividing the clan into even more branches as a means of evading the agreement, etc. Finally, they signed a contract, but not an ordinary one: a Qi Luck Dragon Contract, using their clan’s destiny as the collateral. As the Clan Leader of their respective branch, both of them have the right to do such a thing.

As Wang Wei held the agreement, he suddenly asked, "What is the agreement?" "I always wonder what made our clan’s destiny so unique." Wang Wei previously thought the answer was a reversal of cause and effect. His future self became a Grand Dao Saint, maybe even a True Transcendent, and in return, its past is affected by blessing the Wang Clan’s destiny. However, after years of refining that conjecture, he felt it may not be the entire truth.

"We are a Great Merit Clan — to be precise, a clan of Three Great Merits," Wang Guo explained.

"Oh? I’m not familiar with that term."

"Heavenly Dao, and maybe even Grand Dao, chose me to contribute to the end of the Innate-Acquire War, and I fulfilled my destiny and achieved great merit," Wang Guo explained. "Qiyuan pushed the Golden Era to its highest peak and laid down the foundation for the Transcendent Age. His Great Merit is the highest. Meanwhile, your merit was nudging the Transcendent Age back into position after being derailed by Supreme Unity and the Seven Moon; there is also your work from the lower dimension, which seems to have contributed immensely to the future prosperity of the Transcendent Age."

Wang Wei squinted. Such information made him realize something: he might have a fourth destiny or opportunity to achieve a fourth great merit with the Fate Seed Status. Grand Dao wants him to control the River of Fate and use his brilliance and knowledge from Earth to innovate and improve things. Although he hasn’t achieved anything yet, that part of the destiny has still benefited the Wang Clan somewhat.

"Your words made me regret a little that I handed over the Destiny Chosen to Kong," Wang Wei smiled. He was joking. Even if he knew the truth, it was still not in his best interest to accept that position. Look at Emperor Kong’s situation: no matter what great event is occurring, he’s always somehow involved, or forced to participate. And after knowing about the All-Seeing Temple’s prophecy, he had to be more low-key to prevent any trouble — at least until he was sanctified.

"How do you plan to help me?" Wang Guo asked.

"Had you come during the task assignment, I would have sent these two to the most dangerous area," Wang Wei uttered. Besides Glass Pen Sage’s assignment, Wang Wei randomly assigned people their tasks or only followed the Tribunal Lord’s decree.

"There is still an opportunity for future assignments, right?" Now that they had signed the agreement, Wang Guo felt more relaxed as he enjoyed the blood rushing sensation from his wine.

"How about we try this?" Two dark spheres materialized in Wang Wei’s palms.

"Qi of Calamity," Wang Guo recoiled back.

"Yes, and it’s a very potent form too."

A look of fear flashed in Wang Guo’s eyes, followed by a look of realization. "No wonder Sovereign Dao Eyes died in such a nonsensical or idiotic way. But how did you get —" He did not finish his words as he understood. Only Heavenly Dao has access to this thing, meaning Wang Wei’s source could only be one person. Wang Guo sighed, lamenting how close these two were.

"One is for Xiao Wenque: you need to secretly or openly infuse it into him," Wang Wei calmly stated. "The other is to threaten the Pure Berserker Saint if he tries to avenge him."

Wang Guo immediately asked, "Can’t you use whatever methods you use on Sovereign Dao Eyes?"

Wang Wei shook his head. "There needs to be some cause and effect between us, but more importantly, there is a nasty backlash for using this thing to kill a Saint. I’ve barely dealt with Dao Eyes’ trouble; I don’t want to add more problems to myself."

"What if I bear the backlash?"

"Do you think a Saint’s karma or backlash is easy to divert?" Wang Wei countered.

"I understand," Wang Guo sighed. He could tell Wang Wei had a way, but the latter did not want to help, and after mulling it over, he understood the reason. Despite not saying a word, Wang Wei’s previous actions of using the Tribunal Lords to eliminate an enemy had probably displeased them. They didn’t say anything, most likely because it was the perfect opportunity for Wang Wei — and for them — to establish their prestige and ensure these Saints execute their task to the fullest of their ability.

But if Wang Wei continued to abuse their goodwill, then there would be an issue. Of course, there is also the possibility that the Qi of Calamity will operate in a manner that makes the enemy’s Tribunal Lord take action — or maybe, it may not even involve any Tribunal Lord at all. Regardless, Wang Wei did not want to take any risk.

"You should understand that I’m still taking a certain risk by handing this to you," Wang Wei uttered. Even if he was not involved, even if he claimed he was only making a deal, the use of the Qi of Calamity might sour these second-step powerhouses’ opinion of them.

"I understand your goodwill," Wang Guo nodded. Now that he had gotten what he wanted, the Heaven Opening Emperor did not stay long. With a weapon that could threaten a Saint, he needed to prepare to use it without capsizing in the process.

Wang Wei glanced at his departed back, deep in thought. Xiao Wenque’s death and the unification of the Wang Clan will immensely shift the Dao Opening Sect’s political landscape. Wang Guo will definitely swallow the Xiao Clan and many members of the union, but according to Wang Wei’s predicament, Ye Guang has similar plans.

’Unless he’s made preparation, he’ll probably lose a significant portion of the union,’ Wang Wei thought.
