Chapter 4425
4425 Senior Situ
The sage-like old man looked at the old man kneeling in front of him, who also looked to be over sixty years old, and asked, slightly surprised, “Are you Little Jing?”
“Yes, it’s me, Senior Situ,” Wang Jing Rao replied respectfully as he remained kneeling, “I didn’t expect that you’d still remember me, Senior Situ.”
In the past, when Wang Jing Rao was young, he was fortunate enough to have met the old man in front of him. At that time, that old man had yet to become a supreme powerhouse and was just a powerhouse serving the ancestor of the Wang clan. The old man was also an interim Elder of the Wang clan at that time. Due to the old man’s talent, the ancestor of the Wang clan did not treat him like an outsider and regarded him as a member of the clan, carefully guiding him. For this reason, the old man had always been grateful to the late ancestor of the Wang clan.
Later on, the old man successfully became a supreme powerhouse and left the Wang clan. However, he still maintained a close relationship with the ancestor of the Wang clan. The biggest reason the Wang clan was able to maintain its status after its ancestor was due to the old man.
!!
The old man said with a slight smile, “Of course, I remember you. I still remember that the first time I met you, you were being bullied by another boy in the Wang clan who was a few years older than you. At that time, you cried and yelled that you’d avenge yourself in three years. That was also my first time coming to the Wang clan’s estate. You left a lasting impression on me because of your words at that time. After a few years, I even asked the elders of the clan about you. Unexpectedly, it only took you two years to grow stronger than the boy who bullied you.”
Although the old man had spoken casually, Wang Jing Rao, who was still kneeling, could not help but feel delighted. He did not expect the old man in front of him to remember him. After all, this was his first time meeting the old man again after so many years. In the past, he had always been busy with the clan’s matters and cultivation. For this reason, it was always his elder brother, the other Supreme Elder of the Wang clan, who received the old man when the old man visited.
The old man smiled and said, “Good job. Now that you’ve reached this point, it won’t be difficult for you to go further. I’ll be in the Wang clan over the next few days. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can come to me at any time.”
“Thank you, Senior Situ!” Wang Jing Rao said excitedly. After all, the person in front of him had become a supreme powerhouse a very long time ago. Although it seemed like he was not far from the realm of supreme powerhouses, the gap between him and a supreme powerhouse was still insurmountable.
“If you’re able to become a supreme powerhouse, master who’s in heaven will definitely feel relieved that the Wang clan has another supreme powerhouse,” the old man said with a smile. If one looked closely, one would be able to see a trace of sadness in his eyes. However, neither Wang Jing Rao nor Wang Kui, who was standing at the side, noticed it.
The old man was worried he would not be able to protect the Wang clan for long. If he perished, the Wang clan’s status in Blue Dawn City and the Divine Sand Realm would fall.
Although the Wang clan had a good relationship with several other supreme powerhouses, the old man knew that if he were not around, they likely would not care much about the Wang clan anymore. In those supreme powerhouses’ opinion, they were indebted to the ancestor of the Wang clan, not any of the current members of the Wang clan. Due to his attitude toward the Wang clan, the other supreme powerhouses followed his actions, worried that they would be called ungrateful if they left the Wang clan alone. However, if he was gone and no longer served as a contrast, it would not take long for the others to forget about the Wang clan. For this reason, he sincerely wished that a second supreme powerhouse would appear in the Wang clan. In his opinion, Wang Jing Rao was one of the two most promising candidates in the Wang clan.
While Wang Jing Rao chatted with the old man, Wang Kui, the Clan Leader of the Wang clan, was lost in his thoughts.
‘Little Jing?’
This was Wang Kui’s first time hearing Wang Jing Rao’s nickname when Wang Jing Rao was young. He did not expect Wang Jing Rao to have such a cute nickname in the past. If the young members of the clan who idolized Wang Jing Rao knew about this, they would definitely be shocked.
At this time, Wang Jing Rao and the old man were finally done reminiscing about the past.
Wang Jingrao said, pulling Wang Kui back from his thoughts, “Clan Leader, Senior Situ came from afar. Let’s lead him to my courtyard so he can rest.”
The Wang clan had a courtyard dedicated to accommodating guests of the clan. However, Duan Ling Tian, who was pretending to be Li Feng, was now staying in the courtyard. As such, Wang Jingrao arranged for the old man to stay in his courtyard. With this, it was also more convenient for him to ask for advice regarding cultivating from the old man.
Wang Kui quickly regained his senses and followed Wang Jing Rao and the old man to Wang Jing Rao’s courtyard.
On the way there, Wang Kui suddenly received a Voice Transmission from Wang Jing Rao.
“Boy, earlier… Did you hear how Senior Situ addressed me?”
Wang Kui was briefly confused when he heard the Voice Transmission, but he soon realized that it was a threat. As the Clan Leader of the Wang clan, he naturally had a high EQ. He quickly feigned ignorance and replied, “What? I’m sorry, Supreme Elder. I was thinking about Luo Yu and Young Master Li Feng’s wedding that will take place tomorrow. I was trying to think if there are any other arrangements to be made. By the way, what did Senior Situ address you as earlier?”
“It’s nothing,” Wang Jing Rao said as he nodded in satisfaction. Then, after a moment, he added, “Thank you for personally receiving Senior Situ. After sending Senior Situ to my place, you can rest and wait for the wedding.”
“Yes, Supreme Elder,” Wang Kui replied. His back was already damp from cold sweat when he thought about how Wang Jing Rao might have silenced him if he did not respond correctly earlier. Wang Jing Rao definitely would not let him off the hook so easily if he told another soul about what he heard today.
…
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was unaware that the supreme powerhouse that the Wang clan invited as a safeguard had arrived. After all, Meng Yu Zheng from the Green Billow City’s Meng clan had come to the Wang clan to make a fuss and even claimed he had the support of the Meng clan’s supreme powerhouse.
Duan Ling Tian did not care about Meng Yu Zheng’s threats at all. Moreover, he did not think that the new supreme powerhouse from the Meng clan would show up at the wedding tomorrow. Even if the other party showed up, he was rather certain the other party would not attack him rashly. After all, in their eyes, his origin was a mystery, and he possessed amazing strength despite being younger than 10,000 years old. With this, most people would assume that he had a powerful background. After all, how could an ordinary person with no support achieve such feats at such a young age?
While the new supreme powerhouse from the Meng clan stewed in his doubts and worries, Duan Ling Tian was sure he had plenty of time to bring Wang Luo Yu away before the other party decided on what to do.
“Tomorrow, our plan will be almost completed. After finding a place for Wang Luo Yu to settle down, I would have fulfilled my promise to Wang Yi Yuan. With that, I can continue on my journey. I only hope that Meng Yu Zheng is smart and sensible. If he dares to pester me and stir up trouble, I won’t hesitate to send him to hell before I leave…”
Although Duan Ling Tian had never met Meng Yu Zheng, based on Wang Kui’s words, he knew that Meng Yu Zheng came bearing ill intentions. Moreover, it seemed like Meng Yu Zheng was rather persistent.
Duan Ling Tian wanted everything to go smoothly tomorrow. If Meng Yu Zheng dared to stir up trouble, he would not let Meng Yu Zheng go.
Soon enough, Duan Ling Tian’s thoughts drifted in another direction.
“Peerless top advanced Supreme God… Currently, I’m still very far from becoming a peerless top advanced Supreme God. Although my law of space and law of time are close to the perfect form, I still have yet to comprehend them to that stage. If I comprehend them to the perfect form, my strength should be comparable to those peerless advanced Supreme Gods who didn’t comprehend their laws to the paramount stage,” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself as his eyes brightened.
Not all peerless top advanced Supreme Gods had comprehended their laws to the paramount stage. Among peerless top advanced Supreme Gods, the strongest ones were those who had comprehended the laws to the paramount stage. Even if they did not have a profound comprehension of any of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth, they were still rather powerful. Since they had comprehended the laws to the ultimate, their strength would increase greatly.
Even if someone possessed the level of Duan Ling Tian’s comprehension of the Sword Dao and a law that had reached the perfect form, he or she would not be a match for someone who had comprehended the law to the paramount stage.
In fact, with Duan Ling Tian’s comprehension of the Sword Dao, even if he comprehended both the law of time and the law of space to the perfect form, he still would not be a match for a peerless top advanced Supreme God who had comprehended the law to the paramount stage.
“I’ve heard that the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth can also be comprehended to the perfect form. However, there’s no known person in the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds who has done so. It’s said that if one comprehends any of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth to the perfect form, even if one’s law had only reached the perfect form, one would not be inferior to those who comprehended the laws to the paramount stage. If one’s able to comprehend any of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth to the perfect form and also comprehend the law to the paramount stage, one would be invincible among those below the realm of supreme powerhouses…”
Duan Ling Tian had read about this in ancient books, and he was not sure about its veracity.
“People can become supreme powerhouses without the need to comprehend the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth to the perfect form. However, after becoming a supreme powerhouse, it’ll be difficult to improve the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. How many people are willing to suppress their cultivation and continue comprehending the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth to the perfect form as an advanced Supreme God before becoming a supreme powerhouse?”
