"Why aren't you saying anything?" As Wang Baole muttered to himself, the quasi Underworld Child who had forcefully pushed open the door with his right hand laughed coldly and spoke provocatively.
He had already sensed that many of the elders in his sect were looking at this place. Moreover, he had not come here on behalf of himself, but on behalf of his senior brother, whom he admired greatly.
In his and the other quasi Underworld Children's minds, only their senior brother was worthy of the title of Underworld Child. In the future, he would lead the Underworld Sect and return to the Realm of Life, allowing the Underworld Sect to rise again.
Therefore, with such thoughts in mind, he naturally rejected Wang Baole as an outsider. This was especially so when he realized that Wang Baole was also a Underworld Child recognized by the Heavenly Dao and was once the Ninth Elder's Underworld Dream disciple. This made him very unhappy.
Of course, there was also a reason for this. In his opinion, the other quasi Underworld Children, and almost all of the Underworld Sect cultivators, Wang Baole … came from the Realm of Life and was a cultivator under the rule of the Never-Ending Clan. How could such a person become a Underworld Child?
That was why he had provoked and tested Wang Baole this time. His goal was to provoke Wang Baole into attacking. Once Wang Baole attacked, it didn't matter if he was in the right or in the right, it would be meaningless.
At the end of the day, this was the Underworld Sect. In the end, Wang Baole was still an outsider.
Therefore, reason, righteousness, and rules were all useless. As long as Wang Baole attacked, the elders of the Underworld Sect who had locked onto this place would definitely stop him.
"I want to embarrass him and make him unable to stay here any longer and scram back to the Realm of Life!" The quasi Underworld Child's eyes revealed a cold glint as he looked at Wang Baole, who was frowning.
Wang Baole raised his head and looked at the arrogant young man. Then, he looked outside the hall. Although there was nothing out of the ordinary with the naked eye, he could already feel countless gazes converging on him with his divine sense. Therefore, he sighed softly in his heart.
In truth, he could understand the Dark Sect. On his way here, he had more or less been looking forward to it. He was not looking forward to his status and identity after he returned, but rather, he was looking forward to his acknowledgment of the Dark Sect because of Dark Dream.
But … a dream was still a dream.
Perhaps the fall of the Underworld Sect was the main reason the Never-Ending Clan had taken over. However, there must have been countless problems within the Underworld Sect. That was why the Underworld Sect was eventually replaced by the Never-Ending Clan.
It was just like how the Dark Sect, which was hiding in the Nine Underworlds, was filled with a sense of narrowness in both their thoughts and actions. He didn't care much about his status as a Dark Child, but to them, it was incomparably important.
In truth, with Wang Baole's intelligence and methods, he would be able to suppress the Dark Sect with his status and eventually take over this place if he had enough time. However, to Wang Baole, if there wasn't a crisis that would happen decades later, and if the blood-red centipede didn't try to take over his body, he wouldn't be able to do it.
He would have enough time to deal with the Underworld Sect. Perhaps this was the reason why his senior brother, Chen Qing, had brought him here. He wanted him to compete with the Dark Child he had previously acknowledged. Whoever won would become the next sect master of the Underworld Sect. With his support, they would start the war.
However, Wang Baole didn't have the time. It would take a lot of effort. Even if he really succeeded, it wasn't the path he wanted to take.
Wang Baole was thinking about how to speed up his cultivation and how to make himself stronger. He wasn't strong in terms of power, but in terms of himself. However … he had to admit that because of the karma in Dark Dream, he had special feelings for the Underworld Sect.
That was why he was hesitating.
He was hesitating whether he should give up his status as a Dark Child, or … follow his senior brother's plan and truly take over the Underworld Sect.
However, the changes his senior brother had undergone after merging with the Heavenly Dao hadn't been gradual and gradual. Instead, they had been extremely sudden and violent. This made it difficult for Wang Baole to adapt to.
That was why he kept saying that he would take another look.
He was waiting. 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 and spirit fused together. His cultivation also erupted. However, it didn't contain any killing power. Instead, he used the Waning Moon Art.
Immediately, an obscure Dao Rhyme filled the air. Time suddenly reversed at this moment. It flowed back to twenty breaths ago. The hall door that had been pushed open closed once again. The body of the soon-to-be Dark Child youth who was about to step into the hall trembled. Time reversed and he reappeared outside the hall.
It was as if nothing had happened at all. The magical laws of time swirled about, making it impossible for the young man to remember anything about pushing open the door. As he hovered outside the temple, a blank look appeared in his eyes, but a moment later, he chuckled coldly and loudly said, "What are you talking about?
"Are you not interested, or do you not dare? With such a temperament, I'm afraid you don't deserve to be the next Dark Child of the Underworld Sect. Since that's the case, I'd like to see what you're capable of. " The youth spoke the same words as before. He was about to push open the door again, but at that moment, the Divine Wills and gazes that gathered around him stirred up great waves of shock in their hearts.
There was even an old man who instantly spread out his Divine Will and stopped the young quasi Underworld Child from doing anything. The truth was … the young man didn't know what was going on, but all the people who were watching in the area saw it clearly.
It didn't matter if they could see the cause and effect, they were all shocked. Those who couldn't see the cause and effect found it strange. Those who could see what was going on felt their minds rumble.
"Time?"
"Time reversal!"
"This divine ability … is no longer an Art. It's the embodiment of Dao Will!"
There was also the Dark Child who hadn't shown his face since the beginning. His gaze had never left the place, and he was acknowledged by everyone. At that moment, his pupils shrank, and a grave expression appeared on his face.
Everyone saw that there was a stalemate. Wang Baole's Waning Moon Art had caused great waves of shock to rise in everyone's hearts. At that moment, Chen Qing's voice rang out from the void.
"Stand down!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the soon-to-be Dark Child's face flickered. He quickly bowed his head, clasped hands, and left. The Divine Wills and gazes in the area all retracted. In the next moment, not a single gaze was focused on the area. Even the Dark Child who had been acknowledged by everyone else didn't dare to look.
Everything outside the side hall quieted down. Only wisps of wind blew in from the void. They gathered together to form a figure who pushed open the door to Wang Baole's side hall and walked in.
"Elder Brother," Wang Baole said softly, his expression the same as he looked at Chen Qing.
"Baole, you don't like this place, do you?" Chen Qing looked at Wang Baole and asked calmly.
"Elder Brother, what do you want me to retrieve from the Underworld River?" Wang Baole didn't answer. Instead, he asked a question.
"The remains of the Underworld Emperor."
Chen Qing looked at Wang Baole and said in a low voice, "My physical body can still withstand the weight of the Heavenly Dao. However, I still lack a foundation. Therefore, I need the remains of the Underworld Emperor. I want to transform it into my Dao Body so that I can control the Underworld River and use the endless power of the dead souls to restore the Underworld Sect to its former glory."
"Elder Brother, have you thought of an answer to my previous question?" Wang Baole nodded and continued to look at Chen Qing. This answer was very important to him.
Chen Qing was silent. He turned his head to look at the Underworld sky outside the main hall. After a long while, he slowly spoke.
"In the Underworld River, other than the opportunity to increase your cultivation base, there is also a precious treasure called … the Ascending Realm Disk!"
"When this disk is activated, it can draw in the source of the Dao Domain and raise the level of your civilization. If you can obtain it, it will allow your hometown, the Federation, to advance by leaps and bounds after assimilating it. You … will also receive the gift of cultivation base!"
"Thank you, Elder Brother. However, I still want to know … do you have an answer?" Wang Baole asked again.
