Chapter 607 - 601: The Peacock Great Ming King’s Request
Peacock Great Ming King and Wa Huang reached an agreement. Nine days later, Wa Huang would temporarily let him go to participate in that final battle.
However, regardless of the outcome, Peacock Great Ming King would forever be under others’ control.
If the World Honored wins, he must collect the Power of Faith for Wa Huang.
If the World Honored loses, he would be trapped in Wa Huang’s Palace forever.
It seems the fate of Peacock Great Ming King is already sealed.
"Little sister, did you agree to him so easily?"
"If the World Honored is defeated, and he refuses to submit, what’s the point of imprisoning him here?" Xi Huang said as he followed Wa Huang departing.
Wa Huang replied with utmost confidence, "The World Honored will not lose; the time for him to prove his path has come."
"Recently, I have felt a sense of foreboding; the pressure from heaven and earth is becoming more intense. I foresee a new Lord of Heaven and Earth emerging."
"Demon Lord and Buddha, those two old foxes, must have sensed something, which is why they invested in the World Honored."
Wa Huang, a Primordial Spirit born from the Void, feels an oppressive pressure from heaven and earth.
When a Lord of Heaven and Earth appears, this oppressive feeling intensifies.
And when a Lord of Heaven and Earth perishes, this oppression eases.
The former Lord of Heaven and Earth was naturally the Human King.
After the Human King died, the Lord of Heaven and Earth disappeared, and the oppressive feeling on the Four Great Primordial Spirits eased.
Fortunately, the Human King once forced the Four Great Primordial Spirits to swear not to descend personally for ten thousand years, otherwise, this world would have long fallen into the hands of the Four Great Primordial Spirits.
The oppressive feeling from when the Human King existed has returned; Wa Huang knows a new Lord of Heaven and Earth is about to appear.
Looking across heaven and earth, who is qualified to become the new Lord of Heaven and Earth?
The answer is only one.
The World Honored.
In the eyes of the Four Great Primordial Spirits, of all the creatures in heaven and earth, only the World Honored is worthy of their regard.
The World Honored is undoubtedly capable, that is beyond doubt.
Long ago, the World Honored had the hope of proving his path and becoming the Lord of Heaven and Earth.
However, that attempt was sabotaged by the Rebirth Saint Mother.
Now, after countless years of arduous cultivation, the World Honored has finally reached this step again, and this time, he is closer to proving his path and becoming the Lord of Heaven and Earth than the last time.
After listening to Wa Huang, Xi Huang thought carefully, and indeed, among all creatures in heaven and earth, besides the World Honored, no one else is qualified to be the Lord of Heaven and Earth.
With Peacock Great Ming King’s aptitude, there is a slight chance, but now that Peacock Great Ming King is detained, any discussion of potential is moot.
No matter the potential, joining Wa Huang’s sect is the only future; otherwise, death is inevitable.
As for whether Lin Yuan could be the Lord of Heaven and Earth?
Lin Yuan is, after all, a youngling, and in the Mysterious World, even Tier Two Peak Experts like the Cyan Lion Spirit don’t respect him.
Let alone the Four Great Primordial Spirits?
Lin Yuan, at present, does not catch the eyes of the Four Great Primordial Spirits.
No, that’s not right!
Among the Four Great Primordial Spirits, there should be one who remembers Lin Yuan.
That is Buddha, whose disciple was slain by Lin Yuan face-to-face.
Lin Yuan repeatedly provoked Buddha and even killed Buddha’s four great disciples, which surely etched his name in Buddha’s memory.
However, Wa Huang indeed has no impression of Lin Yuan.
"Since little sister is so confident that the World Honored can successfully prove his path and become the Lord of Heaven and Earth,"
"why not agree to him directly instead of haggling?"
"Just agreeing could be seen as a favor to him," Xi Huang asked, puzzled.
Xi Huang was referring to Peacock Great Ming King’s request that if the World Honored was defeated, he would be allowed to return.
Yet Wa Huang only agreed to let him fight in nine days, and if the World Honored lost, he would still have to stay.
"Hmph!" Upon hearing Xi Huang’s words, Wa Huang snorted coldly, showing a girlish attitude and feeling indignant, "He insulted me like that, why should I do him a favor?"
"I want to scare him, shattering all his hopes, making him realize that he can never escape Wa Huang’s Palace in this life."
Xi Huang: "????"
Upon Wa Huang’s words, Xi Huang immediately understood.
Wa Huang is a woman after all!
As the saying goes, "women and small-minded people are difficult to keep."
Women are narrow-minded; if you offend them, they will certainly find a way to get back at you.
After these words, Wa Huang said to Xi Huang, "Nine days later, take him away."
"I can’t descend personally, so you’ll need to keep an eye on him and prevent him from pulling any tricks."
Back when the Human King forced the Four Great Primordial Spirits to swear, Xi Huang was not among them.
Therefore, he can naturally travel to the mortal realm.
Why not have Xi Huang collect the Power of Faith?
It’s not that he hasn’t, but the efficiency is not high.
Xi Huang, being an "outsider," would face various rejections and resistance, making his efforts counterproductive.
However, it’s different with Peacock Great Ming King. In the myriad of races, Peacock Great Ming King is highly revered, even worshiped by thousands.
With Peacock Great Ming King collecting the Power of Faith, the effort is doubly effective.
"Fine!"
"I’ll take him in nine days!"
"I’ll keep a close watch on him, ensuring no trouble arises!" Xi Huang promised.
Though Xi Huang isn’t as powerful as the Four Great Primordial Spirits, he has enough strength to keep an eye on Peacock Great Ming King without any problem.
In terms of power, Xi Huang possesses about half of Wa Huang’s strength, easily able to restrain Peacock Great Ming King.
After sending Wa Huang off, Xi Huang approached Peacock Great Ming King and said, "In these days, you can practice appropriately. The speed of cultivation in Wa Huang’s Palace is certainly much faster than in the mortal realm."
"Nine days later, I’ll call on you to leave."
"Our Wa Huang’s Palace has always kept its promises; once we give our word, it’s as good as gold, and we won’t deceive you in such matters."
Peacock Great Ming King had a much better attitude towards Xi Huang compared to Wa Huang.
"Okay!" he replied, looking at Xi Huang, then tentatively asked, "Xi Huang, may I ask you to do something for me?"
Xi Huang, compared to Wa Huang, is a lot more gentle and kind.
"What is it?"
"Helping you once is no problem, after all, we will be considered one of us in the future!"
"Of course, it can’t be too troublesome, I am the type who fears trouble the most!" Xi Huang replied calmly.
Peacock Great Ming King cupped his hands towards Xi Huang and said, "I kindly ask Xi Huang to go to the East Sea and find a young man named Lin Yuan, who is my son-in-law."
"Help me send him word of my safety, to prevent my friends and family from worrying."
This request from Peacock Great Ming King wasn’t difficult; for Xi Huang, heading to the East Sea was a moment’s effort.
"Quite a sentimental one!"
"Alright, I will take a trip for you to set your mind at ease!" Xi Huang agreed.
