Chapter 575 Meeting
Ren found it rather amusing that despite being bathed by his killing intent these people did not tell him what he wanted to hear. He also noticed that five of the people present were stronger than those people from the lower realm, well if you were not counting those people close to him. The original incarnation then answered the question in his mind.
‘It’s not surprising the average strength in the upper planes are higher than those of the lower worlds. In here even the weakest mortal is as strong as a normal adventurer in the world you were in. Here the world limit does not exist, so theoretically you can grow infinitely. Well even if we were in the lower world as the Strongest Mortal Soul for as long as you are alive you will continue to grow stronger.’
After hearing the original incarnation’s explanation Ren was excited not that he could grow stronger, but the fact that the people here are stronger. That would mean the people he could challenge in this new place were numerous. In this place, he had almost an unending supply of playmates.
…
While Ren was having a conversation with the original incarnation, the people from the Mo Clan were waiting for his response. Seeing how deeply Ren was thinking they thought that he would agree to their request. After a few moments, Ren finally spoke to them.
“I understand that you’re trying to protect this person, but you don’t have to worry about me fighting him. I won’t kill him or anything, I just want to spar with someone strong. As long as the other person doesn’t offend me, I usually don’t kill my opponents.”
“So you aren’t willing to change your second condition?”
“No, I won’t change my second condition, I would still like to meet the strongest person near here… Still, it’s like I said there is no need to worry I won’t kill anyone I just want to have a little spar. Also even if you guys don’t tell me who it is, I can just ask another person, I’m sure someone in that city is willing to tell me what I want to know.”
The people from the Mo Clan could not say anything to that, they knew that even if they were able to postpone Ren from meeting the Ancestor, that was just delaying the inevitable. Mo Han and the Four Elders look at each other and after a while, Mo Han sighed.
“Alright, we agree to your conditions.”
“Now was that too hard? So then, let’s get going.”
“Are we going now, shouldn’t you rest a bit more, Sir?”
“I already rested for a few days, so let’s go already.”
Seeing the excited expression on Ren’s face, the people from the Mo Clan finally understood what kind of person Ren was. The man before them who had a mortal body but the strength of a powerful cultivator was a battle-hungry individual. This type of person only had one fate and that was death from battle. No matter how strong, nor how talented one who seeks battle all the time, will only find his end in battle.
“Very well, please follow us, back to the Clan.”
Mo Han and the Four Elders took out their swords, stepped on them, and flew through the sky. Once they did this and were already halfway to the Clan, they remembered that despite being overly powerful the person following them was a mortal. Is he even able to fly?
They then turned around and saw Ren flying in the sky without using a sword. Seeing him do this, they were now even more sure that Ren’s capabilities were similar to a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator as only those that step on that realm could freely fly in the sky without the use of a sword or some other medium.
“What are you waiting for, continue onward.” Hearing Ren’s voice the group nodded their heads and continued onward.
…
Mo Fan and his group looked at the fading silhouettes of Ren, the Patriarch, and the Four Elders. Seeing them disappear in the sky Mo Fan and his team fell on their butts as they sighed in relief.
“Finally it’s over, we’re finally free of that monster.”
“That was the most torturous experience in my life.”
“Is it really okay to bring that monster back to the Clan?”
“What choice do we have, if the Patriarch and Elders didn’t do as he wanted we’ll all be dead.”
“Maybe we should’ve just died from the Sand Dragon instead of bringing such a calamity to the Clan.”
…
While Mo Fan’s group was still airing their grievances Mo Han’s group had arrived at a mountain peak. Seeing the snowy mountain peak reminded Ren of the place were he sealed Tsukiko. As he was approaching the peak of the mountain he noticed a very powerful surge of energy gathering into a single position.
When Ren saw the man gathering all this energy his battle intent rose to unprecedented levels. Since the person was using the Origin energy that he was unfamiliar with he could not discern his strength but he knew that compared to the Patriarch and Elders that person was in another league.
‘Now that I also have this Origin Energy or as the natives call it spiritual Qi, I want to test it out, this guy should be a suitable opponent.’
As the group landed on the peak of the mountain the man who was in a lotus position continued to meditate and didn’t bother to greet them.
“Sir, this is the Ancestor of our Mo Clan. He’s currently in a deep meditative state and has isolated his senses from the outside world.”
“Oh is that so?… How about I try something, let’s see if he responds to this.”
Ren then emitted an oppressive force that was unlike the one he had shown them before. The Patriarch and the Four Elders could barely remain conscious. After a few seconds, the Ancestor of the Mo Clan opened his eyes. What greeted him upon waking from his meditative state was his great-great-grandson and his juniors were on the floor barely clinging to consciousness, and a young man smiling viciously at him.
