The forces that knew the truth were essentially King Yong Nian’s adversaries, naturally delighted to pin this black mark on King Yong Nian.
“It seems that King Jiang He was truly ruthless!”
Knowing he couldn’t win, he thought of simply destroying King Yong Nian, completely unconcerned whether they were from the same clan or not.
Yet, Wang Sheng could understand such a mindset. If they were trying to kill him and take over his territory, why should he show them any respect?
Even if the Heavenly King himself came, he’d demand revenge; no one would have it easy.
“With that in mind, this grudge isn’t easy to avenge!”
King Jiang He had died without a trace left, so if one wanted to attack him, they’d have to go to the possibly non-existent Underworld.
“Let it be, when I’m stronger, I’ll begrudge King Yong Nian for this!”
If it hadn’t been for King Yong Nian attacking Shuzhou, King Jiang He probably wouldn’t have concocted such a scheme, so in fact, this blame could be pinned on King Yong Nian’s head.
Of course, his current strength was still insufficient, likely no match for a Great Grandmaster; he needed more time to cultivate.
Remembering to slash King Yong Nian a few times, Wang Sheng kept this in mind.
He had spoken these words in Yue’s presence. Yue just smiled lightly, not expecting that the person he followed was capable of holding a grudge.
But this was also a good thing.
Although it was unspoken, whether it was traveling to the three counties to kill that Martial Artist or seeking revenge, it all showed that Wang Sheng was a person with a sense of humanity.
Following such a strong figure was much better than following those indifferent ones.
Most importantly, Wang Sheng was cautious and didn’t involve himself easily in major matters, reducing the dangers he might encounter significantly.
“Master Wang Sheng, you can surely achieve it.”
Attacking King Yong Nian seemed like a whimsical idea to most, but Yue knew, for him it wasn’t impossible.
Perhaps it wouldn’t take long to achieve these things.
“Don’t say it like that; it sounds weird.”
To strike someone and surely succeed, Wang Sheng thought this expression was rather strange.
It made it seem like he held deep grudges, but he only wanted a slight revenge, yes, just a slight revenge.
Moreover, compared to this matter that could only be achieved later, he felt he might have underestimated Yue.
“Yue, how come it feels like you know everything?”
It seemed like any matter, as soon as Yue calculated it, he would know, almost like having a cheat code.
Is the Stargazing Skill too absurdly powerful?
But Yue shook his head.
“Master Wang Sheng, Yue doesn’t know everything. To know something, one must understand its trail and have a specific subject. Like with King Jiang He’s matter, knowing the specific existence and even many people knowing the truth, then I can obtain information; Stargazing Skill isn’t about making blind calculations.
Like when you asked me to find the iron mine, that goal was too broad, my Stargazing Skill can’t really see anything specific, I can only rely on my acquired knowledge to estimate where it might be and draw a possible area to search within.”
Stargazing Skill is not an all-knowing Xue Wen; if it were so, Stargazing Valley would have perished long ago.
Many secrets are also unknown to them.
They can only learn about these matters when someone stirs the threads.
“That means, actually, the more people know about something, the clearer your knowledge becomes.”
Yue respectfully nodded, “Yes, but if it involves oneself, there’s also an indistinct feeling, like when I found you, Master Wang Sheng. Of course, this is merely about obtaining information in Stargazing Skill, not the entirety of the skill.”
Wang Sheng understood Stargazing Skill more now.
Even so, Stargazing Skill was still incredibly potent.
To take a simple example.
Like a legacy, in fact, many powerful figures knew of it, but they often hid the location; at this point, if someone capable of calculating appeared…
He suddenly understood the cause behind Mud Buddha’s death in “Feng Yun”; eliminated by Xiong Ba, because such people knew too much, and who knew if they would threaten one’s own interests.
Mud Buddha’s death was both a divine punishment and an inevitability.
Wang Sheng looked at Yue.
Suddenly, he realized an issue.
The inheritance of Stargazing Valley certainly also had prophecies, so would revealing the Heavenly Secret attract divine retribution?
“Yue, does your Stargazing Valley’s inheritance speak of divine retribution?”
“Divine retribution?”
“That is, revealing too much of the Heavenly Secret, and suffering the punishment of the heavens.”
“The punishment of the heavens? Master Wang Sheng, according to our Stargazing Valley’s calculations, our world is a sphere, outside the sphere lies the endless Void, there’s no such thing as the heavens, where would punishment come from?
Of course, we in Stargazing Valley also don’t reveal too much, because doing so makes it easy to be targeted…”
Upon hearing this, Wang Sheng felt an inner turmoil.
I talk to you about mysticism, you respond with science.
The key is, being a follower of mysticism, you’re trying to use science to suppress mysticism…
