Chapter 344: Wang Kun’s Hesitation
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Just as Wang Kun chose to close his eyes and rest, an old voice sounded from within the hall, “Come in.”
Hearing this, everyone’s spirits lifted as they entered the hall.
After entering, Wang Kun stood in the last row as arranged. Head lowered, he only used the corner of his eye to size up the grand hall beneath his feet.
This was the place the Wang family used to entertain guests. The entire hall was extremely spacious, splendid, and had a majestic and grand atmosphere, resembling a heavenly palace, vast and awe-inspiring.
If not for Su Chen wanting to see them today, Wang Kun would probably never have had the chance to step into this hall in his lifetime.
The original master’s seat at the top of the hall was now empty. To the right was an elder whom Wang Kun recognized as Wang Yunzong, an esteemed Wang family elder. He was now smiling as he explained something to a young man in purple on his left.
This scene shocked many people.
Wang Yunzong was renowned for being stern and serious in the entire Wang family. He was usually very strict with the disciples. Yet today, he was extremely gentle, like a kindly old man, and very talkative.
“Great Mystery Holy Son!” Wang Kun was awed when he saw the purple figure.
At the mountain gate earlier, he hadn’t seen Su Chen’s appearance, only catching a fleeting glimpse. He only felt that this Great Mystery Holy Son lived up to his reputation and was indeed peerless. And now, seeing him again, Wang Kun was even more stunned, oddly as if facing a youthful god king. This involuntarily gave rise to a sense of admiration in his heart’s depths.
In Wang Kun’s moment of distraction, he suddenly saw Su Chen slightly turn his head to look at him, then gently nod and smile. This small action was like a thunderbolt, leaving Wang Kun completely stunned. He almost doubted he had seen it wrong.
“Fellow Daoist Su Chen is greeting me?”
This was far too unbelievable! He was just a mediocrity. How could he be worthy of Su Chen’s nod?
“Fellow Daoist Su Chen, all the Qi Sea Realm disciples of my Wang family who went to the mountain gate today are here now,” Wang Yunzong said with a smile. “Please take a look, is the one you mentioned among them?”
He was also observing the younger generation below. It had to be said, the Wang family’s younger generation was quite outstanding. Some were already at the Qi Sea Realm at just ten years old. In the outside world, this would definitely be a powerful genius. Given time, even if these people didn’t become saints when they grew up, they would at least become Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses, which was practically guaranteed.
Of course, it would be best if the eyesore Wang Kun wasn’t present. But who could have expected him to also go to the mountain gate today?
“The Wang family is indeed Great Emperor Wang Teng’s descendants. The family’s geniuses are all heaven’s beloved,” Su Chen first casually praised. Then his gaze fell upon Wang Kun within the crowd as he slowly said, “As for the person 1 mentioned earlier, he is indeed present.”
“Oh?” Wang Yunzong’s expression froze as he asked curiously, “I wonder who he is?”
Su Chen did not reply. He raised a finger, and a radiance bloomed from his fingertip, spanning the entire hall. Under everyone’s watchful gaze, it entered Wang Kun’s glabella.
This scene came too suddenly, leaving many unable to react.
“This…” Wang Yunzong’s face trembled as he muttered, “It’s actually him?”
“How can this be?” Wang Wenxuan also spoke up.
He looked at Su Chen, then at Wang Kun behind him. Flis eyes were filled with disbelief. No matter what, he never imagined Su Chen would give an opportunity to Wang Kun.
Su Chen hadn’t said what he had given just now. But one could guess it was definitely no ordinary item.
Su Chen was the esteemed Great Mystery Holy Son after all. He had even destroyed the massive Spirit Race. Why would he take out something common?
It had to be at minimum a heaven-level divine power or cultivation method! It might even be…a saint-level divine power or cultivation method!
“This is…the Supreme Emperor’s Scripture?”
Under everyone’s envious and shocked gazes, Wang Kun fell into a daze, not coming to his senses for a long time. It was nearly 15 minutes later before he finished reading the Supreme Emperor’s Scripture’s contents.
Although weak, he could still see how terrifying this scripture was. If successfully cultivated, its value would probably be no less than an Emperor’s Scripture! Let alone it contained something even the Emperor’s Scriptures did not. It could continuously amplify one’s aptitude and perception. In the end, even a pig would become a monstrous genius rarely seen in thousands of years, with a physique and perception that no one could compare to.
The only downside was that the Supreme Emperor’s Scripture had some flaws. Firstly, only men could cultivate it. And as cultivation deepened, it would turn the man into a woman. Only after complete success would one thoroughly become female. The second flaw was that it was far too overbearing. After cultivating it, one could neither negate the cultivation nor practice other cultivation methods.
In other words, as long as one lived, they could only continue with it to the end, with no chance to start over.
The third and most fatal flaw was that after cultivating the Supreme Emperor’s Scripture, when others broke through a realm, as long as it was not the Nirvana Realm or the Saint Realm, in general, there was not much danger. Even if the breakthrough failed, as long as it was not a heretical practice, at most, it was just a regression in cultivation level.
But it was very different for this scripture. Every realm was a tribulation! From the Qi Gathering Realm to the Great Emperor Realm, each breakthrough required three days of torture, which was a hellish trial.
If one could not endure, their body and soul would collapse together, skipping reincarnation entirely and their soul directly obliterated.
These three days were also when cultivators of the scripture were most vulnerable. Even slight disturbances would spell their doom. Only by cultivating to the Great Emperor Realm could this drawback be eliminated.
“I will become a woman…” Wang Kun wore a bitter expression. He looked at his own body. To be honest, in the entire Wang family, perhaps the whole East Barrens, no one desired strength more than him.
The other two flaws of the Supreme Emperor’s Scripture were not flaws at all to him. As long as he could cultivate it, not to mention this scripture, he would probably diligently cultivate even a demonic cultivation method.
But the problem was…this scripture would turn a man into a woman. For a time, this dilemma left him conflicted. Although not having cultivated it yet, it was clear that the torture from breaking through each realm was no joke.
Even those of staunch will might not withstand it. Just experiencing such torment from time to time could turn even a normal person’s mentality twisted and cold-hearted.. By the time one truly became a great emperor, one might have changed into a completely different stranger!
