Chapter 701: Chapter 700: News of Wang Zun
"Yuanchu Sect is indeed a decent choice. I can mix up Yuanchu Sect with the Mang Jiao Clan."
Liu Zheng’s eyes sparkled with a cunning light.
This Origin Sect Master definitely didn’t have good intentions.
He might even want to pit him against the ancient races using the Mang Jiao Clan.
And there must be other ulterior motives beyond that.
For now, he would have the Mang Jiao Clan clash with the Yuanchu Sect first.
Then they would step in when the time was right.
He wanted to muddy the waters of the entire Dao Realm, so that not all eyes were focused on the Demon God Temple.
It just so happened that he had enslaved quite a few people this time, who could now be put to good use.
"I really want to see what the Yuanchu Sect’s conspiracy is exactly,"
muttered Liu Zheng under his breath as he stood guard.
At that moment, Chen Jin approached with some good news.
"Hall Master, Chen Fang has sent a message. Wang Zun has secretly left the Yuandao Sect and seems to be in search of something. I suspect he’s searching for an opportunity,"
"Wang Zun is already in the desert now."
Upon hearing this, the corners of Liu Zheng’s mouth curled up slightly, "This guy has finally ventured out. I’ll claim this Son of Destiny."
The news about Wang Zun was quite unexpected.
Liu Zheng thought that this fellow would hide in the Yuandao Sect for a long time, but he showed up much sooner than anticipated.
Soon, Liu Zheng set off for the desert with his men.
...
Speaking of the desert, it’s a rather special place in the Dao Realm, incredibly desolate everywhere.
Legend has it that the desert was the result of a great battle.
The fight was so fierce that all living creatures in the desert were wiped out.
The desert was nothing but yellow sand, and oases were exceedingly rare.
Also due to its geography, the creatures born in the desert are very strong, fighting for survival right from birth.
Besides the Myriad Tribes, there is another force in the desert, which is the Buddhist community.
There are many strong monks within Buddhism, and even many ascetics who practice in the harsh environment of the desert.
Over countless eras, these ascetics cultivated minds of extraordinary strength.
For this reason, the Buddhist community, although based in the desert, should not be underestimated.
Even ancient races dare not belittle them.
However, Buddhists generally prefer austere practice, so they have very few disciples active in the outside world.
At this moment, high above the desert, Wang Zun transformed into an ascetic monk, emanating the aura of Buddhism.
His true appearance was completely concealed.
Especially since the recent collapse of the Zhang Family and the Demon Sect, the Yuandao Sect feared Liu Zheng would target them next.
Therefore, they specifically prevented Wang Zun from revealing himself.
In the end, they could not dissuade Wang Zun and had to let him leave secretly but with powerful Protectors trailing behind.
A Quasi-Emperor from Yuanchu Sect, no less.
After all, this was the body of the Great Path, one of the strongest constituencies in the current world.
Having witnessed the formidable power of the Body of the Overlord, they too wanted Wang Zun to reach his full potential ASAP.
Then the Yuandao Sect could flourish for countless years to come.
"It’s really difficult to find anything in this desert, not even a direction to go,"
Wang Zun murmured, holding a gemstone and surveying his surroundings.
This time, he was looking for the abode of a Buddhist Emperor, rumored to have been left behind by that emperor, containing Emperor’s Scriptures and many treasures.
But what Wang Zun wanted the most was the Shariputra within that abode.
It was a treasure that could boost his cultivation.
For Wang Zun, the effect would still be significant.
"What exactly is that Saint Heir looking for?"
In the void, a Protector of the Yuandao Sect frowned and said.
Wang Zun had been searching for several days already.
But he had found nothing at all.
Could it be the destiny of the Saint Heir?
He wasn’t clear, nor would he ask; he simply followed discreetly.
Afterward, Wang Zun continuously searched within this vast desert.
Along the way, he also encountered several bandits and dealt with them effortlessly.
After several days of searching,
Wang Zun arrived at the foot of a tall mountain, where yellow sand filled the skies.
"This is the place!"
The moment he saw the mountain, Wang Zun’s eyes lit up.
The emperor’s cave dwelling of the Buddhist faith was situated within it.
Immediately after, Wang Zun rushed out to the center of the massive mountain to a lotus-pedestal-like structure.
It was made entirely of stone with a small hole in the middle.
Wang Zun directly inserted the gemstone in his hand into it.
Boom, rumble, rumble.
In an instant, the entire mountain peak trembled.
It was as if an earthquake was happening.
Following that, the whole mountain split into two halves, revealing the cave entrance in the center.
Just as Wang Zun was preparing to go down, a voice rang out.
"Wang Zun, you’ve finally found it. We’ve waited a long time for you to seize this opportunity."
A voice came from the void, and then two figures approached.
The arrivals were none other than Xiang Batian and Liu Zheng.
The Protector concealed in the void changed his expression instantly, ready to turn away, when Xiang Batian reached out and grabbed him.
A Quasi-Emperor was sealed just like that.
"Ancestor!"
Seeing the Quasi-Emperor in Xiang Batian’s hand, Wang Zun shouted with a trembling voice.
This old monster had a rather good relationship with Wang Zun.
"Liu Zheng, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Wang Zun’s face was filled with fury.
Who would have thought that Liu Zheng could also be encountered here?
"What do you think I want to do?"
Liu Zheng replied with a slight smile.
"Do you want to kill me?"
Wang Zun asked with a grim face.
"You are still very smart!"
"Just because of our conflict in Celestial Fairy City, you want to kill me?"
Wang Zun’s eyes widened, and he stared in disbelief at Liu Zheng.
Although there were conflicts in Celestial Fairy City, it wasn’t to the extent of a fight to the death, right?
"If you dare to kill me, my Yuandao Sect will absolutely not let you off."
Seeing the Quasi-Emperor sealed, Wang Zun knew he could not escape.
The man behind Liu Zheng was the world-renowned Dominator physique.
He quickly mentioned the Yuandao Sect, hoping to instill some fear in Liu Zheng.
"The issues in Celestial Fairy City are minor disagreements. In fact, even without those, you would be doomed in my eyes."
At this point, Liu Zheng thought to himself, "If I have to blame anything, it’s because you are the Son of Destiny."
If Wang Zun weren’t the Son of Destiny, Liu Zheng wouldn’t need to waste time dealing with him.
Unfortunately, Wang Zun was someone who could explode with a great amount of destiny value, how could Liu Zheng let him go.
Upon hearing Liu Zheng’s words, Wang Zun’s complexion changed immediately; he sensed Liu Zheng’s intent to kill, this person was truly planning to kill him.
Crack!
Wang Zun took out a jade slip and then fixed Liu Zheng with a fierce glare.
"Today, you won’t be able to kill me."
As his voice fell, a mysterious fluctuation made his entire being blur.
This was Wang Zun’s contingency plan, a teleportation charm that could instantly move tens of thousands of miles.
He had obtained it from an Immortal’s cave dwelling in the past.
