NOVPUBLin Qian’s words had barely ceased when everyone present stared at him in astonishment.
Qin Wushuang chuckled bitterly and voiced everyone’s thoughts, "You kid, really know how to speak. Shengtian Sect, being the strongest force in Coastal State for so many years, how could it be so easily exterminated."
"There is a very powerful presence within Shengtian Sect." Wei Wushuang suddenly spoke up right after Qin Wushuang.
A very powerful presence?
Hearing Wei Wushuang say this, everyone looked over in confusion.
From the current overt strength seen in Coastal State, War Emperor Wei Wushuang was considered the strongest.
And now, the strongest in Coastal State was saying that there was a very powerful presence within Shengtian Sect?
"At that time, I had specifically intended to take action against Shengtian Sect because I had been severely poisoned, tormenting my mind, and I didn’t have much time left to maintain the Life and Death Realm Soul Realm. I needed to do something significant for Wanxiang Sect," mentioned Wei Wushuang, who couldn’t help but fall into reminiscence.
"Indeed, I had charged into Shengtian Sect. The Life and Death Realm Soul Realm is practically invincible within Coastal State. Likewise, I believed the same!"
"However, within Shengtian Sect, there actually was a very powerful presence, that is Yuan Wuji."
Hearing the name from Wei Wushuang’s mouth, everyone present was shocked and stared in surprise.
"Senior brother, you’re not joking, are you really talking about Yuan Wuji, this person who is still alive?" Qin Wushuang inhaled sharply in surprise, finding it unbelievable, "He’s a character from over three hundred years ago, and he is still alive?"
Seeing everyone so amazed, Lin Qian grew very curious about who this Yuan Wuji was to cause such a shock among them.
Having heard his Martial Uncle’s description, Lin Qian was indeed taken aback.
In this world, because Soul Martial Artists cultivate using nature’s spiritual energy transformed into Soul Power, their bodily functions greatly enhance, and their lifespan is significantly longer than in previous ages.
Ordinary people could live to at least eighty years, and Soul Martial Artists of the Basic Three Realms could reach around a hundred years of age.
Once one broke through to the Nirvana Realm, their lifespan could extend beyond one hundred and fifty years.
As for advancing to the Space-Breaker level, one could live beyond two hundred years.
Lin Qian had heard from his master, Wei Wushuang, that Soul Martial Artists of the Life and Death Realm had their lifespans extended beyond three hundred years.
Yet Yuan Wuji, mentioned by his uncle, was a personality from over three hundred years ago; there was no way a Life and Death Realm lifespan could allow him to live for so long.
Thus, there was only one possibility—Yuan Wuji must have broken beyond the Life and Death Realm.
But if that was truly the case, Shengtian Sect would likely have already dominated the whole of Coastal State long ago.
"Master, who exactly is this Yuan Wuji, and has he really successfully broken out of the Life and Death Realm, advancing to a higher Realm?" Puzzled, Lin Qian directly asked.
Wei Wushuang started explaining to Lin Qian, "This Yuan Wuji was the Sect Master of Shengtian Sect over three hundred years ago, and alongside our Wanxiang Sect’s master of that generation, Liu Yun, they were called the Twin Heroes of Coastal State."
"In their era, the talent of Coastal State was overshadowed by them. The original structure of one sect with five branches was actually disrupted by these two."
Hearing this, Lin Qian couldn’t help but feel some admiration.
Just like now in Coastal State, where three sects and five branches keep a balance, the situation has remained unchanged for over three hundred years.
The biggest change now was merely Shengtian Sect’s ambitious desire to swallow other forces.
But this is also a trend of mutual absorption among the powers within Coastal State due to the current climate.
To achieve what Yuan Wuji and Liu Yun did three hundred years ago, allowing two minor sects to rise and snatch sustenance from the giant occupying Coastal State, was extremely difficult.
However, this aspect showed the capabilities of these two men.
"But if we really must compare, Yuan Wuji was more formidable than our Wanxiang Sect’s Sect Master Liu Yun, always a step ahead."
"Later, when their fated age approached, they agreed upon a duel but did not reveal the location to anyone. Only after Sect Master Liu Yun returned, did we learn they went to the sea."
"The outcome of their fight is known to no one, and Sect Master Liu Yun kept his lips sealed, passing away shortly after. This secret part was what my master had once shared with my fellow disciple and me."
"Just didn’t expect that Yuan Wuji didn’t die at all. After his fight with senior Liu Yun, he had an epiphany and sought a breakthrough when he returned. However, he failed."
"Even though he failed the breakthrough, Yuan Wuji’s strength had already exceeded the Life and Death Realm, but his lifespan did not increase. Therefore, he chose to feign death by hibernation, sinking into a deep sleep to extend his life as much as possible, ensuring he could intervene in times of crisis for Shengtian Sect."
Wei Wushuang slowly described, gradually revealing the truth to everyone.
As Wei Wushuang said, Yuan Wuji did this to provide a last resort for Shengtian Sect to manage crises.
That was exactly the situation when Wei Wushuang barged into Shengtian Sect.
Even though Yuan Wuji could have killed Wei Wushuang, he knew that taking action would greatly reduce his lifespan. What could have been a hundred years of sleep might reduce to merely ten to eighteen years.
Moreover, Yuan Wuji saw that Wei Wushuang was severely poisoned, his days were numbered.
Yuan Wuji reached a settlement with Wei Wushuang; they would cease the hostilities and Shengtian Sect would compensate.
And Wei Wushuang, in return, would no longer target Shengtian Sect.
Yuan Wuji calculated that it wasn’t worth his time for a dying man. He would wait for Wei Wushuang’s poison to kill him, and then Shengtian Sect would move against Wanxiang Sect.
But what Yuan Wuji never anticipated was that Lin Qian’s arrival would revive Wei Wushuang.
"Now, I am confident that in a fight with Yuan Wuji, the chances of winning are about 60/40, but I’m not sure I can kill him, and he can’t kill me either," Wei Wushuang said as he shook his head at Lin Qian, "So your suggestion to annihilate Shengtian Sect, I’m afraid, is unachievable. Besides, Shengtian Sect has now allied with the Black Blood Clan."
Hearing Wei Wushuang’s words, everyone else nodded in agreement, while only Lin Qian pondered in silence, thinking of all the possibilities.
In a full-scale war between sects, with his own army, Lin Qian was confident of having an overwhelming advantage.
However, they were still unable to address high-end combat power. Even with an excellently equipped army and flawless coordination, even augmented by his own emperor’s soul skill, in front of his master, a thousand-man team would probably be wiped out with a single slap.
Not to mention that Shengtian Sect had an old monster stronger than his master.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Wei Wushuang sensed something, pulling out a round crystal, his consciousness delving into it, then smiling, "Got some good news for you, kid."
"What?"
"Your fiancée has arrived."
Upon hearing his master’s words, Lin Qian’s expression turned to astonishment. He hadn’t told Ye Xin his location, how could she have possibly found him?
Looking at the crystal in Wei Wushuang’s hand, Lin Qian was utterly puzzled, "Master, it couldn’t possibly be that you heard from that female Sword Saint again, what exactly is your relationship with her?"
