Chapter 490 490: Absolute Confidence, Myth Reborn
With an absolutely invincible confidence, unafraid of any challenge.
This is the magnanimity of a Supreme Saint Master!
Therefore.
The Celestial South Saint Master did not heed Wang Ming's advice to go back and expose Su Qi's little deception.
After all.
For so many years, it's been rare for a Transcendent to appear who can also astonish him, so he doesn't mind the other's attempt to hoodwink him; on the contrary, he faintly wishes that the next time they meet, this little guy can truly stand before him.
Thus, after eavesdropping for a while, he left with the others.
Of course.
Although the Celestial South Saint Master wants to see if the other can forge his own path, it doesn't mean standing idly by. He has even internally decided to increase investment in the Ninth District.
Sometimes, favors don't have to be displayed openly.
Meanwhile, Su Qi, completely unaware that his identity has been exposed, is still discussing the future development of the Ninth District with Pei Jing, as well as exploring deeper mysteries of Extraordinary Power.
To call it a discussion might be misleading, as it has now become a one-sided teaching by Su Qi.
His current understanding of power and order far surpasses Pei Jing's.
This both delights Pei Jing and makes him feel a bit uneasy, for in such a short time, their mentor-disciple roles have reversed—has he been progressing too slowly, or is the world developing too rapidly?
But upon reflection, it seems like not long after his mental trauma was healed, he advanced to the Destruction Level.
Still, that kid Su Qi... is just too freakish.
In this way, Pei Jing earnestly absorbs every bit of instruction from Su Qi, continually deepening his understanding, until he reluctantly leaves the courtyard after nearly half a day.
He hesitated for a moment, then decided to visit Su Qi's home.
To inform his family of the accurate news that Su Qi is still alive; after all, while many are convinced of this speculation, Su Qi's family would only remain in endless worry until they receive concrete news.
This act by Pei Jing, in a way, provided them a reassurance, allowing their long-suspended hearts to finally find some ease.
Of course, he also warned them to temporarily not disclose this information.
Although the Celestial South Saint Master had left the Ninth District, deeper cooperation between both parties would follow. It's best that Su Qi's deception in acting as a god to fool the Celestial South Saint Master doesn't reach his ears, at any time.
Because.
In Pei Jing's eyes, those Supreme Saint Masters are just like his own family's ancestor.
Appearing harmless on the outside, yet are actually very petty.
Otherwise.
Why has the practice of fusing myriad methods, once implemented in the past, only occurred once in all these years?
It's known.
That once fusion of myriad methods not only created major noble families but also several Supreme Saint Masters.
Nowadays, almost every year, even every day, many mysterious paths, previously unknown, are triggered by Awakened individuals. He thinks that such a grand event of method fusion should be held every so often, led by Supreme Saint Masters.
In this way, maybe humanity would gain several more Saint Master Level experts.
So, in Pei Jing's mind, it ultimately boils down to those Transcendent high-ups being petty, selfish!
Days later.
Su Qi finally felt the repulsion from the Divine Corpse.
It was as if he, an outsider, had been discovered by the corpse; every inch of flesh and blood inside was stirring, like millions of volcanoes about to erupt, with surging lava capable of cleansing everything in the world, and he was about to be washed away.
In response.
Su Qi was not in the least bit dismayed; instead, he was full of anticipation.
"Finally, I can restore my identity..."
This feeling, probably many cannot comprehend, and if those noble descendants were to obtain this opportunity, they'd probably wish to directly swap their body with the Divine Corpse.
After all.
The temptation of gaining peak power without paying a great cost is enormous.
However.
For Su Qi.
Carrying the identity of a god invites coveting from all sides and inconveniences his future actions because, up next, he has far too much to accomplish.
Currently.
Recently promoted to Catastrophe Level, Nie Bao, Lu Zhan, and their group of Transcendents were not in a hurry to leave.
The reason is simple.
For Transcendents settled in the Holy City, applying for a trip out is a very cumbersome process, in addition to Pei Jing announcing a series of cooperations with the Heavenly South Holy City, the most important being that soon after, the Ninth District will be offering a Divine Corpse!
Even if they've reached Catastrophe Level, they cannot resist the temptation of close contact with a Divine Corpse!
It is something not recorded in current history, existing only in mythical tales, about to emerge; worth seeing, even if it's just a glance.
This piece of news.
Not only caused a huge uproar in the major nearby districts, but even the deeply hidden Evolution Divine Teachings couldn't restrain themselves, nearly mobilizing their entire force to head to the Ninth District.
Because.
They have always regarded 'instinct' as divinity.
Hence, they are very eager to know whether a Non-human Alien following a path to the end could transform into an indestructible god!
In addition to this.
After returning to the Holy City, the Celestial South Saint Master also widely spread this piece of news.
Partly to help the Ninth District expand its influence, and partly as a show of support, warning everyone that if they harbor thoughts about the Divine Corpse in the Ninth District, they need to consider the consequences of opposing him!
But.
After this explosive news was released.
Beyond extreme shock, the various powers were filled with suspicion.
They never expected.
A previously unknown barren land to prompt such actions from the Celestial South Saint Master.
Moreover.
It is intriguing that the Celestial South Saint Master, knowing full well there's a Divine Corpse there, did not take it away.
"So, the Divine Corpse has fallen into the hands of the Celestial South Saint Master, but why does he leave it in such a small place and boldly announce it to everyone?"
In a chaotic space, Yu Min said perplexedly.
Here, besides him.
There are Heavenly Secret Level experts from various Holy Cities, but these are not their true bodies; rather, they are condensed Heavenly Dao Avatars.
They all have interacted with the Divine Corpse.
Initially, after Yu Min exiled the Divine Corpse, their true selves all set out towards that location.
However.
While they were still on the way, they sensed a Saint Master Level power's intervention, and thus had to return in disappointment.
At this moment.
Someone coldly replied to Yu Min, "Isn't the answer in your words?"
"He acts without fear."
"This is the deterrent power of a Supreme Saint Master, openly telling you—would you dare make any moves?"
Upon hearing this.
Everyone felt a tremor in their hearts, seemingly all recalling the scene of sneakily stealing the Divine Corpse, followed promptly by the Celestial South Saint Master's arrival.
