Chapter 753: Ascertaining a Direction!

Wang Baole furrowed his brows, turning his head to stare coldly at the Grand Supreme Elder behind him. He didn’t expect the guy to accept reality so quickly and even start sucking up to him.
Even aliens know how to suck up to people? Wang Baole hmphed in his heart. As the Federation President in waiting, he had met many bootlickers in his life. He must not be the kind of person who liked listening to people suck up to him. Hence, he said coldly, “You could have been killed by me not long ago!”
His words brought with them some of his lingering killing intent. As the Grand Supreme Elder heard them, his body shook, and he looked at Wang Baole with excitement and seemingly unlimited gratitude. If one looked closely, they would see the tears shimmering in his eyes.
“Master, this exemplifies your high morals. Under the bad influence of the three greater sects, today’s Divine Eye civilization has become a dark place where everyone is selfish and desensitized to the violence of murder. Yet, I can meet someone like you, Master. This is definitely the luckiest thing that’s happened to me in my entire life!”
“Enough! De Kunzi, don’t say these kinds of things again, I don’t like listening to people bootlicking. Know your place!” Wang Baole had an annoyed expression and felt more annoyed the more he looked at De Kunzi. He even slightly regretted not killing him earlier. After that, he hmphed coldly and walked forward.
After hearing that, the Grand Supreme Elder’s avatar became more serious and immediately spoke solemnly.
“De Kunzi obeys your order. Master’s words are like a wave sweeping away the fog, causing me to see the sky. You’ve allowed me to see the future of the Divine Eye civilization, you’ve allowed me to see hope. Your tall and straight figure is like a pillar supporting the entire Divine Eye civilization, exuding valiance and causing me to…”
After hearing the first half of what De Kunzi said, the annoyance in Wang Baole’s heart exploded forth. He suddenly turned his head and was about to scold De Kunzi strictly. He felt that, as an excellent and outstanding president, he couldn’t have yes-men around him and definitely couldn’t let De Kunzi continue. That would be too damaging to his reputation. But before he could scold De Kunzi, he heard the second half of what he had to say…
That sentence praising his tall and straight figure made Wang Baole cough, and his expression was noticed by De Kunzi in an instant. As his eyes turned, De Kunzi quickly spoke.
“Master, actually, what I said previously is unimportant. The most important thing is that I’m able to follow such a handsome and valiant man. It’s the greatest honor of my life to be at the side of the most handsome man in the entire Divine Eye civilization.”
Wang Baole gave De Kunzi a deep look. After a moment, his expression relaxed quite a bit and revealed a sense of wistfulness. He even sighed in his heart.
I can’t really blame him, it’s all my fault. Most handsome in the Federation, most handsome in the Divine Eye civilization… So be it, I was mistaken. He wasn’t bootlicking, he was telling the truth. Wang Baole sighed. He felt that even the Federation President couldn’t be so cruel as to not allow people to praise him from the heart. It wouldn’t be good to force people to say untrue statements.
So, as he left this cosmos and returned to the Holy Crest Sect’s battleship, under Wang Baole’s understanding, De Kunzi unleashed his mystic technique to the extreme. As they traveled, he continuously showered Wang Baole with praises regarding his appearance, not once repeating compliments. As Wang Baole listened, he became wistful once again and reluctantly smiled and nodded.
This continued until they saw the battleship that the Holy Crest Sect sent to await Wang Baole’s return in the cosmos. As the true body of De Kunzi walked out to welcome him, Wang Baole returned to the Holy Crest Sect’s battleship. The Holy Crest Sect’s Grand Supreme Elder didn’t express any discomfort as he took over the task of sucking up from his avatar.
Afterward, he interrupted the truths that De Kunzi was saying and made up an excuse to search the soul of his true body. As the death curse was still present, De Kunzi dared not resist. Hence, Wang Baole searched the soul of De Kunzi’s main body very thoroughly and gained a deeper understanding of the Divine Eye civilization.
That was especially so for the conflict between the royalty and the three greater sects. He gained a fuller picture of the conflict. But at the same time, there was one thing that gave Wang Baole a headache.
That was how to get along with the royalty and get the continuation of the Demonic Eye Art. This was a huge issue that stood in front of Wang Baole. After all, if he wanted to maintain the high speed that his cultivation was increasing, he had to get the associated techniques to the Demonic Eye Art. He could continue cultivating regardless, but refining his Soul Conduit cultivation with Nascent Soul techniques was akin to pulling a giant horse cart with a pony.
But the royalty of the Divine Eye civilization had been put on house arrest and sealed under the precautions of the three greater sects. They cut off almost all possibility of communicating with the outside world. Although a few methods remained, they were all under the supervision of the three greater sects.
So, the difficulty of contacting the royalty and obtaining the continuation of the Demonic Eye Art while not getting noticed by the three greater sects increased infinitely. Even if he transmogrified using his essence technique, the difficulty was the same. If he could kill a Spirit Immortal and replace them, then maybe he stood a chance.
But Spirit Immortals weren’t so easy to kill and replace. Even if Wang Baole could suppress cultivators at the perfected Soul Conduit realm currently, he wasn’t confident enough to fight a Spirit Immortal. Even if they were only at the early stage of the Spirit Immortal realm, they were still incredibly strong.
Not considering the latter, the only method was to become the leader of the top legion in the legion competition held every 30 years by the Divine Eye civilization. They would be received by the royalty and given mystic techniques as a reward.
The entire Divine Eye civilization was being controlled by the three greater sects, which meant that the top legion must also come from the three greater sects. From here, one could see the compromise of the royalty. But similarly, Wang Baole also saw the intentions of the royalty that were unknown to others.
Wang Baole didn’t fully understand the battle of wits involved and could only see the faint traces of it. But this didn’t affect his judgment and decision-making. He was very clear that if he could achieve this method, he had a very huge chance to obtain the cultivation techniques he needed. Even if he couldn’t obtain them, he could make use of this opportunity and use other means to do so.
However, it’s still difficult to become the top legion. Wang Baole sighed. Through De Kunzi’s memories and his understanding after coming to the Divine Eye civilization, Wang Baole was clear that the top-ranked military commanders of the three greater sects were all Spirit Immortals.
For some special legions, even if they weren’t that highly ranked, their commander still had to be a Spirit Immortal.
In the three greater sects, every sect has six to seven Spirit Immortals… I need to find a way to increase my cultivation! While Wang Baole realized this, he also decided to assimilate into the Holy Crest Sect thoroughly. He would make use of this minor sect to find an opportunity to enter the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect. Afterwards, he would join a big legion and await his opportunity.
Increasing cultivation takes time, but there’s a faster way to increase my combat strength. That is… the Divine Eye civilization’s Dharmic Battleship! Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. After searching the soul of De Kunzi, Wang Baole learned that beyond the Divine Eye civilization’s battleships were an even stronger existence called Dharmic Battleships!
Normally, only the big legions had these Dharmic Battleships, and they were usually controlled by Spirit Immortals. To a certain degree, they were like Divine Armaments and had differences in level.
Wang Baole wasn’t sure how exactly they were refined and segregated, but he understood that continuously refining his own battleship was surely a method of turning it into a Dharmic Battleship. So, Wang Baole’s desire for refinement resources intensified as he became more determined in his thoughts.
Therefore, in the next few days, he displayed a mid-stage, nearing late-stage Nascent Soul realm cultivation. As such, he was appointed as the vice-commander of the Holy Crest Sect’s legion, with the commander being De Kunzi.
Although others objected to this, they chose to remain silent under the majesty of De Kunzi. In addition, Wang Baole got De Kunzi to cooperate with him. As the Holy Crest Sect pillaged the cosmos, they found a battleship among some ruins.
It was found, but actually, it was the battleship that Wang Baole built personally. He used a suitable method to display it to everyone. This caused the combat strength of the Holy Crest Sect legion to increase quite a bit and reduced the number of objections from the other elders.
Afterward, he collected resources again and again with the Holy Crest Sect legion. Time passed slowly as he did so, and a year passed.
In that year, the cultivation Wang Baole displayed slowly increased to the perfected Nascent Soul realm, and the resources he collected were largely used to refine his battleship. At the same time, his true cultivation had thoroughly stabilized. He could be said to have completely entered the Soul Conduit realm, and his actual combat strength increased.
Meanwhile, he killed many times during battles, such that he became too lazy to hide his cultivation. In an encounter he deliberately created, and with the cooperation of De Kunzi, Wang Baole’s cultivation achieved a breakthrough in front of everyone and entered the Soul Conduit realm!
The moment he entered the Soul Conduit realm, under the envious looks of the Holy Crest Sect disciples, Wang Baole gave orders with De Kunzi. The Holy Crest Sect legion ended their travels that lasted for over a year and prepared to… return to the Divine Eye civilization!
