Lou Cheng was truly surprised by the implication of the formula inside his mind. If anyone knew of its existence, many people would go to extreme lengths to acquire it–even if they had to destroy the Origin Pill Dao Sect.
So, Lou Cheng quickly decided to not reveal this to anyone–not even his master. Then, he began to ponder the possibility of success. After all, who did not want to become Emperor?
With how powerful the Heaven Chosens of this generation is, he knew that it was not his place to acquire the Heaven Will. So, this might be the only way out for him, and his loved ones.
He focused on the formula in his mind to see the requirement for this pill. Then, a wry smile appeared on his face. The first requirement for this formula is to cultivate both the [Ten Thousand Flame Art] and the [Origin Pill Flame Scripture] to the highest level before even having a chance to attempt refining this pill.
This requirement was difficult enough, what made Lou Cheng despair is the material needed for this pill. Honestly, he believed that even if he used all the resources of the sect, he might not even find all the materials to refine this pill,
So, Lou Cheng was a little desperate. After thinking about it for a minute, a look of determination came to his mind. No matter what, he had to try. And the first step to success is to become the sect master of the Origin Pill Dao Sect and have total control of the sect.
In that case, Fu Caiyun must die.
"And if everything else fails, I can try to make a deal with this generation's Great Emperor," muttered Lou Cheng as his mind thought of Wang Wei that had recently left.
After making a decision, Lou Cheng waited for his master's exit.
If Wang Wei was here, he would be able to instantly recognize the changes in Lou Cheng. The quiet and reserved boy that he impersonated was not full of confidence, ruthlessness, and cunning.
Obviously, the Flame Emperor did not just increase his talent but adjusted his personality as well. If it was Wang Wei, he would be horrified by such a sudden change.
However, this had nothing to do with him–at least for now.
Lou Cheng managed to see his master who had a bright smile on his face, and he was not the only one. All his senior and junior brothers were also present to congratulate their master–except for his second senior brother who was still in seclusion.
During this meeting of fellow apprentices, Lou Cheng discovered that his third senior sister would often give him glances and a smile. Normally, he would be happy about this but his mind was currently occupied by too many things.
During the meeting, Lou Cheng gave his master a slight signal and the latter dismissed all the other apprentices to talk to him. Then, Lou Cheng told him everything about Wang Wei and the situation.
Ye Lao looked at his apprentice with veins popping up on his forehead. Immediately, he used his Divine Sense to check Lou Cheng's Soul and he discovered that the bans of the Emperor Scriptures were there, followed by the ban of the of [Ten Thousand Flame Art].
"Are you sure about this?" asked Ye Lao; he could not think that there was such an ingenious technique like this. With this, the Dao Opening Sect can steal all the Emperor Scriptures of all the sects in the world.
After seeing his apprentice nod in acknowledgment, Ye Lao wanted to lash out in anger, rushed out of the sect and chased down the little thief, and bring back the stolen items.
No sect would like for their orthodox scripture to leak out, let alone one as precious as the Origin Pill Flame Scripture.
The old sect master took a deep breath to calm himself down as he realized that this was useless. By now, the latter was most likely gone. And even if he caught him, what could he do?
The Dao Opening Sect seemed to be going to extreme lengths to cultivate a Great Emperor in this generation. With the status of the current Sacred Son, he knew that they would not hesitate to start an Emperor Dao War for him.
For many years, there have been rumors that the Dao Opening Sect has been planning an Emperor Dao War to flex its muscle and show the world that it was still the most powerful sect in the world.
Ye Lao did not want his actions to result in the Origin Pill Dao Sect becoming the target of the Dao Opening Sect's wrath.
Of course, this is not the main reason that Ye Lao did not chase down Wang Wei. It was because his situation in the sect had recently turned around and started to retake many of the powers that should be rightfully his.
And with his breakthrough into the Quasi-Emperor Tier Alchemist Realm, the process will go even smoother. As such, he did not want anything to affect his current rise in power.
And the Fu Caiyun learned that he had lost two Emperor Scriptures of the sect, Ye Lao knew that he would most likely lose his position as sect master and all his powers.
So, Ye Lao calmed himself down and thought about the situation logically.
'This may not be a bad thing. I can use this opportunity to form an alliance with the Dao Opening Sect and use it to increase my power in the sect; maybe even completely get rid of Fu Caiyun.'
One of the reasons that Fu Caiyun is so powerful and influential is that he used his Alchemy Ability to form many connections around the world. Although the man has a nasty personality and his arrogance is higher than the heavens, he still knows how to play the political game.
As long as a person of high status or strength asked his help to refine certain pills, he would do his best to accommodate them and increase his connection.
Since Fu Caiyun can use this tactic, so can others.
"Master, what are we going to do?" said Lou Cheng. "Especially with third junior sister's Infatuation Flower."
Ye Lao paused for a moment, "In this situation, it's best to explain everything clearly with her and think of another solution."
…
A few days ago, after separating from Lou Cheng, Wang Wei disguised himself as an ordinary Alchemist before leaving the area controlled by the Origin Pill Dao Sect. Then, he returned to his normal self.
Not long after he did that, Yan Chen appeared next to him.
"Young master, have you succeeded?"
"Indeed, I have. I also acquire many benefits."
"Excellent." He was genuinely happy now since his young master no longer have to worry about breaking through the Primordial Spirit Realm. Yan Chen was worried that if the situation lasted longer, the Sectarian Faction of the Sect might take this opportunity to make trouble.
Now that all factions were united and focused on cultivating one Heaven Chosen was the best scenario, he did not want any pointless disputes.
"There is a high chance that Sect Master Ye Lao will contact our sect for an alliance. We can use this opportunity to form stronger ties with them," suddenly said Wang Wei.
"I will inform the sect master when we return," said Yan Chen. "Young Master, do you want to go straight to the Heavenly Abode World or go back to the sect for a while?"
Wang Wei pondered for a while, "No hurry. Since we are already in the South, let's visit the Eternal Dream Sect. After all, they are one of our most consistent allies."
Not long afterward, the two soon arrived at the Vivid Dream Domain where the location of the Eternal Dream Sect was located. Because Wang Wei and Yan Chen had already sent notification of their arrival, once they arrived at the mountain where the Eternal Dream Sect was located, a group of people was waiting for him.
Leading the group was a beautiful girl with eyes as bright as the purest of lakes; she had a black hanfu one with light blue hair, a small mole on the corner of her lips that further elevated her beauty.
The moment he saw her, Wang Wei guessed her identity.
Gu An, Spirit Race, This generation's Saintess of Eternal Dream Sect, Divine Body Real: Peak Earth Stage. The seventh on the Heaven Mystery Pavillion's list of Most Beautiful Women of This Generation.
After landing in front of her, Wang Wei could immediately see that she was a river that gained sentience before turning into human shape. And since she can become the Saintess of the Eternal Dream Sect, then she must be very talented.
From what he knows, the Eternal Dream Sect is mostly Spirit Race sect as all their sect master, Saintess or Sacred Son are usually members of the spirit race who competed with one another for these positions.
Although they also recruit the human race, it is very difficult for them to gain real power in the sect–unless they have an outstanding talent in the Dao of Dreams.
"Welcome to our sect, Sacred Son Wang Wei," said Gu An with a melodious voice that sounded like the peaceful noise of the ocean.
