NOVPUB"A ’Great Divine Power’ that can project the deceased back into the world?"
Su Changkong couldn’t help but feel astounded as he thought more about it, increasingly convinced that his speculation was highly probable.
The current Wang Fuhu, as well as previously deceased experts like Kuang Wenfu who were supposed to have died many years ago, had all reappeared in the world but vanished after some time, simply because they were not truly alive but mere projections.
Those projected experts were mostly well-known figures who had left traces in the world, had lingering obsessions, and with the influence of Great Divine Power, they were manifested once again!
Most, like Wang Fuhu, knew they were not truly alive but projections, and coupled with the world having changed, they felt disheartened and lingered onto the land for a while before dissipating completely, vanishing from the world forever.
"This Great Divine Power... so powerful, it defies all common sense!"
Su Changkong couldn’t help but marvel at the seemingly incredible power of the ’Great Divine Power’, which could even project deceased Innate Martial Artists, which meant that Martial Saints should also be within its scope!
The churning waters of the lake gradually calmed down, and Su Changkong felt many astonished gazes from afar. He composed himself and, with a flash, appeared on the shore.
At this moment, Xia Yanjie and Duanmu Tao looked at Su Changkong as if he were some sort of monster.
"You won? The Wang Fuhu who was hailed as the foremost under the Martial Saints of the Huwei Dynasty, the one personally slain by a Martial Saint, has been vanquished by Elder Blade?"
Xia Yanjie swallowed hard, having read about Wang Fuhu’s feats in the ancient scriptures of the Xia Yan family, aware of his terror and thinking that it would take notifying a Martial Saint to deal with him.
But the outcome was beyond expectation, for Su Changkong showed no fear at all. In the midst of Spring Rain Lake, he battled fiercely, with dragon roars and tiger howls, and waves surging, but in the end, Wang Fuhu was defeated head-on by Su Changkong!
Doesn’t this imply that Su Changkong is truly the strongest below the Martial Saints? Having once slain Gu Lie and others, facing five opponents alone, and now even crushing the former number one Great Grandmaster, Wang Fuhu!
"Brother Blade’s strength is becoming more and more inscrutable..." Duanmu Tao also silently marveled, Su Changkong seemed invincible, slaying any strong foe he faced!
Xia Yanjie composed himself and, along with Duanmu Tao, stepped forward to meet Su Changkong. Xia Yanjie hurriedly asked, "Brother Blade, how did Wang Fuhu vanish into thin air?"
Due to the tremendous noise and towering waters during the conversation between Su Changkong and Wang Fuhu, their vision had been blocked, and they had only seen Su Changkong pierce Wang Fuhu’s chest with a finger before he disappeared.
"This isn’t the place for this discussion, let’s talk elsewhere."
Looking around, Su Changkong suggested.
"Yes," both Xia Yanjie and Duanmu Tao nodded in agreement.
Su Changkong left behind a thousand Taels of silver notes at the Spring Rain Building as compensation for the damages caused and departed with the two men.
"I think that Wang Fuhu and those other mysteriously resurrected experts are not truly alive but projections, affected by some kind of Great Divine Power, which projected them." On their way, Su Changkong did not hide anything and told Duanmu Tao and Xia Yanjie the information he had gotten from Wang Fuhu and his own speculations.
"Great Divine Power?"
Upon hearing this, both Xia Yanjie and Duanmu Tao were visibly shaken, disbelief in their eyes.
"Great Divine Power... that is a method only reachable by the most exalted among Martial Saints..."
Xia Yanjie was full of doubts.
Only entering the Saint realm at the third tier ’Nine Heavens’, mastering Divine Skills to the extreme, and perfectly forging the Divine Body, can one develop Great Divine Power!
Martial Saints with Great Divine Power are among the elite within the Martial Saints, and even the Ancient Saints actually belong to the category of Martial Saints with Great Divine Power. They are so revered because they are ancient and powerful, the pinnacle within Great Divine Power, hence honored as Ancient Saints!
Martial Saints with Great Divine Power, let alone within the nine realms, even looking to the Ancient Holy Country, these level of Martial Saints are rare, each of them supreme beings above countless creatures!
"Could it be that a Martial Saint with Great Divine Power has employed this Great Divine Power to bring back people like Wang Fuhu, but what is the purpose of doing so?"
Duanmu Tao wondered, frowning.
Such individuals typically keep a low profile and wouldn’t bother causing such chaos within the territory of the Great Flame Empire with their Great Divine Power!
"That’s beyond my knowledge."
Su Changkong shook his head, as he had no idea what such high-level figures might be thinking.
Moreover, Su Changkong was only speculating that the turmoil was triggered by Great Divine Power, but whether it actually was remained inconclusive.
"This Commander’s Seal was left behind by Wang Fuhu after his death; I’ll hand it over to the Xia Yan family. You should be able to find something out."
Su Changkong took out the Commander’s Seal left behind by Wang Fuhu and gave it to Xia Yanjie.
Su Changkong understood that this chaos was not simple, seemingly provoked by Great Divine Power. If it indeed was Great Divine Power, then the individual behind it could be a Martial Saint with Great Divine Power at the ’Entering Saint’ seven-layer Heaven or above, possibly even one of the most elite ’Ancient Saints’!
This was already beyond the scope of Su Changkong’s reach. If he inadvertently provoked someone who might be a Martial Saint with Great Divine Power, it would be like an egg striking a rock. Su Changkong was self-aware.
Therefore, Su Changkong directly informed Xia Yanjie of the intelligence he had and handed over the Commander’s Seal left by Wang Fuhu, letting the Xia Yan family handle it and conduct the investigation. This was much safer and would prevent attracting trouble.
The Xia Yan family was the true dominator of these lands, capable of having the various millennia-old noble families and top-tier sects submit to them. Their foundation was profound, with no shortage of Martial Saints within the clan! Su Changkong certainly didn’t want to meddle with the Martial Saints with Great Divine Power without a full understanding of the situation.
