Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor-Chapter 1456 First Meeting

'I don't sense any direct threat from him, meaning his cultivation or strength is on par or weaker than mine. However, there is still a dreadful feeling when I think about killing him, so he should have a similar level of protection as Ji Chengming,' Wang Wei swiftly analyzed.

"You are?" he asked.

"The name is Bi Longsheng," the muscular man introduced himself. "You must be Wang Wei, right? Mongke said great things about you, so let's take a look." A golden hue flashed deep in his bright pupils.

"What a strange technique. You started with an [Artifact-Body Fusion Path] but updated your technique to switch to the [Star Body Path] using your acupoints. Finally, you changed into the [Bloodline Path]. Hmm? Breaking the shackles of your human bloodline? So, you followed the same path as Uncle Bi Xing. But why would you use Fiendgods as your target when Chaos Demon Gods exist?' Bi Longsheng shook his head.

"Hmm? Such a pure and flawless body. How is that possible? Did you get your hands on Primal Heart Water? That doesn't make sense since only our mansion can make it.

"Wait, there is more? A spirit and willpower tempered to the highest level when you were just a mortal. Are you a freak? How can someone cultivate their willpower to such a level without sufficient cultivation, body or soul?

"Madness — you dare use the [Power of Nothingness] and survive? Hehe, Uncle Void Origin would sell his manhood to take you as a disciple and inherit his legacy.

"Is that a Gate of Ascension? Have you already re-condensed yours? That's something I haven't done."

Bi Longsheng's eyes shone brightly. He had found a supreme talent, so he must bring him back to the mansion at all costs. "You are the perfect candidate to cultivate the Primeval Body Art. You must definitely join our mansion."

Wang Wei looked at him with a slight frown, thinking to himself: 'Despite his joyful and charming appearance, this man is quite arrogant, but it's not the outward arrogance displayed by someone like Ji Chengmind. No, it's the kind of pride and arrogance that is deeply rooted in his bones and soul. That's why he can invade people's bodily authority without asking or caring about the consequences. To him, that's just normal or something he has the right to do because of who he is.'

"What's the Primeval Body Art?" Wang Wei asked calmly.

"The best body refining cultivation in the entire Chaos Universe," Bi Longsheng answered directly, not hiding his confidence behind this statement.

"Can I assume this was the technique your founder cultivated?"

"You can say that."

"I see," Wang Wei nodded. "Well, thanks for the offer, but I have no plans to join your mansion."

"Are you sure? With your talent, you'll receive the position of True Disciples, meaning you'll be treated the same as direct descendants like myself."

"I'm sure," Wang Wei nodded without hesitation.

"Can I ask why?"

"I have my own path to follow."

Bi Longshend looked him up and down: "You're quite the arrogant fellow at heart, aren't you? Do you know what kind of opportunity you're giving up? Do you know how many people would die just to glance at this technique, let alone cultivate it?"

"Anyone with the mindset that someone else's technique is the fundamental answer to their transcendent path has no future in the first place."

"You're an interesting guy," Bi Longsheng chuckled, but his facial expression displayed no humor. On the contrary, the tension in the room drastically intensified.

"Are you looking down on my mansion's most precious technique?"

"I never said that."

"But your tone indicates you view our most precious technique as something not worth your consideration."

"Well, it's really not," Wang Wei replied truthfully. Even if the Primeval Body Mansion handed him the technique, he would not even look at it — at least not in his current weak self.

"You better watch your next words carefully," Bi Longsheng warned with squinted eyes.

"Let me ask you something," Wang Wei said, also locking eyes at him head-on. "How many True Transcendents have your mansion cultivated again?"

"Excuse you?"

"Since you seem to think that technique is the greatest thing this universe has ever seen since the birth of Grand Dao, it must have given birth to countless true transcendents for your mansion, am I right?"

Bi Longsheng stared at him.

"Am I wrong?" Wang Wei smiled. "Or, maybe it's common sense with anyone with decent intelligence that the path of transcendence is a personal thing, and walking in other people's shoes makes it a million times harder for success.

"And even if you succeed, there is a high chance you will become the puppet of the forerunners. It makes you wonder, doesn't it? What is your mansion's true purpose in finding talents capable of cultivating this Primeval Body Art."

"You have quite the imagination," Bi Longsheng said calmly. "And you also have quite the balls to dare slander our mansion like this."

"Oh, don't mind me. I'm just a lowly cultivator with a chaotic mind and big tongue," Wang Wei shrugged. Bi Longsheng chuckled at his words before laughing out loud, his booming voice echoing throughout the temple. Wang Wei seamlessly started laughing with him. Their voices entangled as if they were former friends who have been through numerous trials and tribulations together.

"I like people like you," Bi Longsheng said as he summoned a token, "My offer still stands."

"And I'm open to considering it," Wang Wei smiled as he put it away.

"Mongke, don't forget you promised me your clan's best wine."

"Of course," Mongke nodded. Bi Longsheng waved to the others before steadily walking out of the temple. "Let's talk privately." Wang Wei nodded before saluting the others and stating to Su Dandan: "Wait for me at my mountain."

She nodded and he followed Mongke to a private room where the latter handed him a wine gourd after they sat down. "I'm sorry about him. He seemed like a chill guy when I met him."

"It's fine," Wang Wei calmly said as he swallowed a mouthful of this fiery wine. The entire situation was under his control. As soon as Bi Langsheng started scanning his body, he could have stopped him by slightly modifying the armor around his [Existence] to hide his information instead of protecting him.

The subsequent conversation also proceeded as such on purpose to see what kind of person he was and to see if he could bypass the latter's information protection by riling up his emotions. And Wang Wei's approach was successful. He discovered Bi Langsheng's cultivation was weaker than his, but strength was probably only slightly weaker than his — at least base on aura alone.

"How did you meet him?"

"I was hunting, and he approached me," Mongke explained. "We fought, and he read my talent like he did you and the others before introducing himself and inviting me to his palace. Then, we talked about the best body refiners we've ever fought, and I mentioned you and the others from our world, and he asked me to invite them for a meeting.

"I figured this might be an opportunity for our world, but I didn't expect he would react this way when he met you."

"People like us have massive egos, so it's impossible to truly get along unless someone is willing to bow down or control themselves," Wang Wei stated calmly.

"You've been low-key in the trial, so I thought you would control yourself."

"The trial is about to descend into chaos, and I plan to take part in the action. Bi Longsheng is one of the greatest variables, so I needed to know what kind of person he is to anticipate how he will act."

"I don't want any part of the chaos," Mongke shook his head. The trial allowed him to continue tempering his body to the Fifth Heaven of the Elder Fiendgod Realm, and the Dao Tower is an excellent place to finish his Great Wisdom Sutra. So, he is not prepared to risk himself, his wife, or possibly the future of the Barbarian Clan in this upcoming chaos.

"That's not a bad approach," Wang Wei nodded.

"So, what are you going to do with his invitation?" Mongke asked. "I think you know it's unwise to antagonize the Primeval Body Mansion, but you also make a great argument."

"I'm greatly interested in their library," Wang Wei admitted. He had a concrete plan to open the Fourth Gate but still lacked the necessary knowledge to create a feasible transcendent technique. The mansion should have the most extensive body refining technique library in the Chaos Universe.

"However, I have no desire to join them – at least, not until I've already walked my own fleshly body transcendence path."

"That makes sense," Mongke nodded.

"What about you? What are you going to do?"

"...I must admit that I'm tempted," Mongke said. "A catastrophe is coming in our world, and having the mansion as a protective background might not be the worst thing.

"However, I'm also worried that their internal political systems will swallow us."

"That is a major decision," Wang Wei stated. "Unfortunately, there is nothing much I can say or do to help you decide."

"I know."

"But if you choose to join, don't touch that Primeval Body Art."

"You don't really think…"

"The creator may not be malicious, but at his level, any connection to him might influence lower cultivators without him even noticing. So, for your safety, you better not even read that technique until you've walked your path and are confident you won't stray."

"I understand," Mongke nodded. Regardless of his decision, he'll keep these words in mind.
