A World Worth Protecting

Why aren’t you saying anything? Wang Baole murmured to himself. The quasi-dark child, who had pushed open the door with his right hand, laughed coldly and spoke provocatively.

He had sensed that many of the elders in his sect were now focused on this place. He hadn’t come to represent himself this time. He had come to represent his eldest senior brother, whom he held in great admiration.

In his and the other quasi-dark sons’minds, only his eldest senior brother was worthy of being called a dark son. He would be able to lead the dark sect in the future and return to the living world, allowing the dark sect to rise once again.

With such thoughts in mind, he naturally despised an outsider like Wang baole, especially since he was a dark son who was recognized by the Heavenly Dao and was once the ninth Elder’s dark dream disciple. This made him very unconvinced.

Of course, this was also due to his hatred towards the cultivators from the living world. In his opinion, as well as that of the other quasi-dark children and almost all the dark sect cultivators, Wang Baole... was from the living world after all, furthermore, he was a cultivator under the control of the Weiyang clan. How could such a person become a dark child.

That was why he had provoked and tested Wang Baole this time. His goal was to infuriate Wang Baole so that he could make a move. Once Wang Baole made a move, it didn’t matter if it was justified or not, it was meaningless.

Ultimately, this was the dark sect. Ultimately, Wang Baole was still an outsider.

Therefore, logic, righteousness, and rules were useless. As long as Wang Baole made a move, the elders of the dark sect who were locked on to this place would definitely stop him.

I want to humiliate him so that he won’t be able to stay here and scram back to the living world! A cold glint appeared in the Young Man’s eyes as he looked at Wang baole, who was frowning.

Wang Baole raised his head and looked at the arrogant young man. He then looked outside the grand hall. There was nothing unusual about the place with the naked eye, but he could sense countless gazes gathering within his divine perception, he sighed softly in his heart.

He could understand the dark sect. On the way here, he had more or less been filled with anticipation. He wasn’t looking forward to his status and identity after his return. He was looking forward to his recognition of the dark sect due to the dark dream.

However... a dream was still a dream.

The fall of the dark sect might have been due to the Weiyang clan. However, countless problems must have arisen within the dark sect as well. That was why the tide had turned and Weiyang had replaced them.

It was just like how the Dark Sect, which was hiding in the nine serenities realm, felt narrow-minded in both their thoughts and actions. They didn’t care much about their identity as the dark child, but to them, it was extremely important.

With Wang Baole’s intelligence and methods, given some time, he could use his identity to suppress the dark sect and eventually take control of the place. However, to Wang Baole, if it weren’t for the crisis that would occur decades later.., without the blood-colored Centipede’s possession that would definitely occur within these decades.

He had enough time to deal with the dark sect. This was perhaps the reason why his senior brother, Chen Qingzi, had brought him here. He wanted him to compete with the dark child that he had previously acknowledged. Whoever succeeded would be the next sect lord of the dark sect, with his support, the war would begin.

However, Wang Baole didn’t have the time. This required a lot of effort on his part. Even if he succeeded, it wouldn’t be the path he wanted to take.

What Wang Baole was thinking about was how to speed up his cultivation and how to make himself stronger. The one who would become stronger wasn’t the faction, but himself. However... he had to admit that due to the karma within the dark dream.., he had a special feeling towards the dark sect.

That was why he was hesitating.

He was hesitating. Should he give up his identity as the dark child, or... should he follow his senior brother’s wishes and truly enter the dark sect.

However, the changes that his senior brother had undergone after he had integrated into the Heavenly Dao didn’t slowly and imperceptibly change. Instead, they had been sudden and violent. That had made it difficult for Wang Baole to adapt to them.

That was why he had been listening to his senior brother’s words again and again.

He was waiting for his senior brother’s answer.

Wang Baole shook his head in silence. He raised his right hand and waved it forward. The power of his physical body merged with his soul, and his cultivation erupted. However, it did not contain any destructive power. Instead, he activated the waning moon technique.

An Obscure Dao rhythm filled the air. Time suddenly reversed, reversing the flow of time twenty breaths ago. The door that had been pushed open closed again. The young man who was about to step into the hall shuddered, time flowed backwards, and he appeared outside the hall once again.

It was as if everything that had happened before had never happened. The laws of time lingered in all directions, causing the young man’s memories to no longer contain the matter of him pushing open the door just now. At that moment, the young man stood outside the hall. At first, his eyes were blank, in the next instant, he laughed coldly and spoke loudly.

“Are you not interested, or do you not dare? With such a temperament, I’m afraid that you are not worthy of becoming the current Ming Zi of our dark sect. Since that’s the case, I want to test just what abilities you have,”the young man said the same thing as before, just as he was about to continue pushing the door open, the divine senses and gazes that gathered around him stirred up a great storm in his heart.

There was even an elder who instantly sent out his divine sense to stop the young man who was about to become Ming Zi. The young man really did not know what had happened, but all the people around him who were staring at this place could see it clearly.

Regardless of whether they could see the cause and effect, they were all shocked. Those who couldn’t see felt that it was strange. Those who could see what was going on felt their minds reeling.

“Time?”

“Time reversal!”

“This divine ability... it’s no longer a spell. It’s a manifestation of dao intent!”

There was also the dark child who hadn’t shown his face in the depths of the dark sect. He hadn’t shifted his gaze away from the dark child, who everyone had acknowledged. His pupils constricted, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

Seeing that the situation had reached a stalemate, Wang Baole’s broken moon made everyone’s hearts pound. Chen Qingzi’s voice rang out from the void.

“Stand down!”

As soon as he said that, the quasi dark child’s expression changed. He bowed his head and left quickly. All the divine thoughts and gazes around him were retracted. In the next instant, not a single gaze was focused on him, even the dark child, who had been acknowledged by others, did the same. He didn’t dare look at Wang Baole anymore.

The area outside the side Hall fell silent. Only Wisps of wind blew from the void and gathered together. They formed a figure that pushed open the door to Wang Baole’s side hall and walked in.

“Senior brother.”Wang Baole’s expression was the same. He spoke softly and looked at Chen Qingzi, who had just walked in.

“Baole, you don’t like this place, do you?”Chen Qingzi stared at Wang Baole and asked calmly.

“Senior brother, what items do you want me to retrieve from the Dark River?”Wang Baole didn’t answer. Instead, he asked the question.

“The remains of the Dark Emperor.”

Chen Qingzi looked at Wang Baole and said in a deep voice, “My physical body can still support the Heavenly Dao, but I still lack a foundation. That’s why I need the remains of the Dark Emperor. I want to turn it into my dao body so that I can control the Dark River. With the endless power of the dead souls in it, I can regain the glory of the dark sect.” He spoke in a deep voice.

“Senior brother, have you thought of an answer to my previous question?”Wang baole nodded and continued to stare at Chen Qingzi. This answer was very important to him.

Chen Qingzi was silent. He turned to look at the dark sky outside the grand hall. After a long while, he spoke slowly.

“In the Dark River, other than the opportunity to strengthen your cultivation, there’s another supreme treasure. It’s called... The Realm Ascension Plate

“This plate can guide the source of the DAO domain and raise the level of civilization. If you obtain it, it will allow your hometown federation to advance by leaps and bounds after merging with it. As a result... you will also receive a gift from your cultivation

“Thank you, senior brother, but I still want to know... Do you have an answer?”Wang Baole asked again.
