Chapter 317 Even He Could Not Do It
The Fiend Emperor Palace seemed to have lent a hand in this situation. In order to break the limits of cultivation, it seemed like all the lords of their respective territories reached an agreement to commence the Realm Amalgamation plan. It concerned the fate of the people in Da Shikong.
"Should I play hero or should I play safe and stay by the side, doing nothing?" Yang Lujia's inner dilemma kicked in.
However, he could not say no to take action. After all, his disciple, Sheng Ao, was involved in this crisis. He was not a hero to begin with, but he could not let his disciple suffer that long-time worst memory of him. Although he knew he was a monk, a human would always be human. He had feelings, too.
Like him, no matter how notorious he had become in the past, he still had emotions to spare inside him.
"Even master could not turn it off? How is that possible?" Long Guang's mouth was wide open, unable to accept this fact. "Master, how are you not able to turn it off?"
"These vessels aren't as simple as you think. Embedded in them are great karma and there was even a hint of something that I could not fathom. It seemed to be related to being reborn again as I've understood it. Although this was called Paramountcy Vessel and it screamed dominance like the dragons, there were still other rules evident surrounding it," Yang Lujia explained.
"Can you not just destroy it, master?"
Sheng Ao shook his head and replied to his senior brother, "Senior brother, the vessels, in all of history of Da Shikong, or even in the five realms, it could not be destroyed."
Long Guang stared at him in shock. "How about master?"
"That's true. It's just as I have explained. There is great karma with the vessel. If I attempt to destroy, I might be entangled with that karma for the rest of my life."
However, Yang Lujia had been silent about the fact that the vessel had something that he was afraid he was related to. He just didn't what it was but he felt it in his very soul.
'Is there some conspiracy behind the fact that my soul came here from Earth?' he thought, simply confounded of where he should refer his thoughts to.
Long Guang could still not believe it. In his entire life, he had viewed his master as the strongest and that he could do anything he wanted. He still remembered how his master turned back time back then. He could still recall all the things his master did to amaze him to his core. That was why he could not believe it that there were still things that his master could not do.
"Let's go. It feels like we need to visit the Fiend Emperor Palace," Yang Lujia commented. "Regardless, it's not like we can do anything with this anyway. They must have already commenced the Realm Amalgamation. From what I can guess, all the vessels were already turned on. What awaits us is the fusion of the three realms and the void beasts that may attack the realms while the process was ongoing."
In fact, when Yang Lujia stopped midway and looked elsewhere in the void, he saw something. He knew that the plan to fuse the three realms had already begun. The most affected was the first realm where he lived as its Will was the weakest among the three; it was slowly getting devoured by the Will of Da Sishen and Da Shikong.
Everyone confided with the two temples, except the Dragon Emperor Palace. Dragons were known to be arrogant and the only way to get to them was to get to their good side and gradually manipulate them to do what you want them to do—without them knowing that they were done for.
Yang Lujia and his disciples, along with Cai Hong and the others disappeared from the room as they arrived outside the Dragon Emperor Palace—specifically in the clouds as Yang Lujia tried to communicate with the Will of Da Shikong. The Will did not show up, a response was not even granted. It seemed like it was really happening this time.
Sighing, he looked at his disciples, especially the little girl, Kun Peng. "Little Peng, come here."
Kun Peng blinked her eyes and looked at Yang Lujia, confused. Little Green let go of the little girl as it understood the meaning of its master. It was like telling Kun Peng to go to its master as the latter had something to do with her.
Kun Peng innocently let herself float in the air as her little body approached Yang Lujia.
"I will ask you again. Are you really willing to follow me as your master?" He understood all of her worries.
"Hmm! Hmm!" Kun Peng firmly nodded. "I… I don't…"
"You don't want to go back there anymore, right? If you really want to follow me, I won't hesitate to teach you anything I have. Do you want to become stronger, Little Peng?"
"Hmm! Hmm!"
"En." Yang Lujia nodded as he tapped his forefinger on her forehead. "This is the technique I will give you. It suits you the best."
Kun Peng looked at his senior brothers, especially Long Guang that emanated the same dominance she felt during her stay in the Dragon Emperor Palace. She looked scared, but she firmed her gaze and closed her eyes to feel everything that her new master was going to give her. Her master said that she would get stronger with this, so she strengthened her resolve as she accepted all the information in her mind.
Sensing the resolve in her heart, even for a child, Yang Lujia was quite surprised and it seemed like this kid really experienced a great deal of things when she was still bullied and was considered to be weak to retaliate against others. She could not even protect herself.
However, there was one thing that was unique about her body. Although she looked frail, she actually had the strength surpassing any mortals. Yang Lujia was amazed by this and given that she was an SSS-Class genius as well, as per recognition of Fortuniel, he knew he had picked another gem this time.
