Chapter 208 Before Leaving (2/2)
Mu Wuji turned around, looked towards Zhou Yuan and remarked with a grin, “I did not expect you to be so capable…”
He was naturally referring to Zhou Yuan’s earlier feat of avoiding Zhao Pan’s seemingly sure-hit attack.
Zhou Yuan smiled. Zhao Pan was a Divine Dwelling expert whose strength for surpassed his own. If he were to face the attack head-on, he would surely be instantly killed. But if it was just dodging, he would be able to tango for a little while with the power of the Decoder Saint Rune.
Mu Wuji said, “From now on, the two of you can be said to be the entry level disciples of the Cangxuan Sect…”
“In a few days, I will bring you two out of the Cangmang Continent and head to the Cangxuan Sect.”
“We’re going there directly?” Zhou Yuan was taken aback.
“Relax, I will send someone to your empire to inform your parents.” Said Mu Wuji with a smile.
Zhou Yuan hesitated for a moment as he turned his head towards the north, where the Great Zhou Empire was located.
“Are you worried about the Great Wu Empire?” Asked Mu Wuji when he saw this. He had evidently found out pretty much everything with regards to Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan nodded. Although his father had already been freed from the shadow that used to haunt him and was gradually recovering his strength, it was still not enough to put up a fight against king Wu. Moreover, the Great Wu Empire’s power far surpassed the Great Zhou Empire.
He had defeated Wu Huang and taken back some of the sacred dragon blessing. Once king Wu found out, he would definitely be enraged. Zhou Yuan was afraid that king Wu would turn his fury to the Great Zhou Empire, and the former did not wish to see a broken Great Zhou when he returned.
“I wonder how things are progressing with the Battle Puppet Sect ruins. Once we convert every puppet, the Great Zhou Empire's power would surely grow tremendously. When that happens, we may not need to overly fear the Great Wu Empire.” Thought Zhou Yuan.
My Wuji took a puff of his pipe and said, ”I will send someone to keep an eye on the Great Wu Empire, so you need not worry too much.”
He then looked at Zhou Yuan. ”Besides this, you should also know that king Wu is pretty strong, and has likely reached the Divine Dwelling stage. Your Great Zhou Empire on the other hand doesn't have a single practitioner at this level.”
“A single Divine Dwelling expert is enough to change everything.”
”If you want your empire to possess the power to contend with the Great Wu Empire, you'll need power that matches the Divine Dwelling stage…”
”The Cangxuan Sect is one of the strongest sects in Cangxuan Heaven. Only there will you be able to truly spread your wings and grow to become a true powerhouse.”
”That's why you need to grasp this chance.”
After hearing Mu Wuji's sincere advice, Zhou Yuan gave a slight nod. He naturally understood that only by entering the Cangxuan Sect would he be able to truly bring out his talent.
The Cangmang Continent was just too small for him, and staying here would instead limit his growth.
Even the most talented eagle would ultimately descend into mediocrity if trapped in a cage.
”I know…” Zhou Yuan nodded, his hands slowly clenching as he peered into the distance.
”Father, mother… although I can't bear to leave you, as the saying goes, an eagle will one day have to leave its nest. But don't worry, when I return to the Great Zhou Empire…”
”I will personally take back everything our Great Zhou Empire has lost!”
“So… you must wait for my return!”
