Chapter 301 - Interest (1/2)
”You're no fun, boy. Why didn't you show yourself more? Having an enemy or two wouldn't hurt you.” A complaint came from the Gray Figure.
Wang Ling listened as he rode inside of Suzhen's body.
”What is it that you want? Kill them in broad daylight? That will only cause more problems later down the road, I do not wish to have enemies when I can avoid them. It is easy to kill such people, but sometimes it is best to be careful. You may be bored, but I can't risk having my life endangered just yet. I have no one I can rely on in this world.”
Wang Ling argued and shut the Gray Figure up. There are numerous legends concerning so-called 'experts' killing people who stand in their way in broad daylight then later say, ”I wish for an ordinary life.” or some nonsense close to that.
It is easy to avoid trouble and there are methods to sneaking passed situations without causing a ruckus. Till now, Wang Ling has yet to understand how such people have managed to avoid getting killed after making an enemy out of almost every expert in their respective worlds.
[Such an idiotic way of thought. Stupid people must run rampant in the olden days.]
Having such thoughts, Wang Ling retrieved the storage rings of the Immortal they had killed just now. The body of the Immortals have long turned to ashes, bone and all. Only their personal belongings remained. The weapons that remained were melted off and used as a material for Wang Ling's natal weapons.
[I also need to strengthen my weapons, to where it stands, even though Immortal Qi runs through it; for some odd reason the Reaper and Heaven's Will can't absorb the Blood Seeker.] His thoughts run wild as to what the reason may be but ended up empty handed. He easily melted the Immortal Artifacts and fed it to his weapons, he proceeded to calling back Suzhen inside his body and then he himself went to find an apt location to have Suzhen and the Flames of Destruction evolve.

”Have you confirmed the Origin of the 'burst'?” It was the voice of a man obscured from the world by a curtain while sitting on a throne.
”I apologize your majesty, but we have yet to determine where it originated. The purest of qi is still flowing out of the 'Origin' and the 'Void' is reacting, with such forces making a reaction we doubt we will be able to find it any time soon. We have to wait for some time in order to find the Tombs and his Legacy, by then, we can move with the second phase of his majesty's plans.” Such is the report of the aide who had been on the side of the 'King' for eons.
”How long do you need?”
”We need 70 years at the least, the bursts will settle down around that time.”
”Hmm, it matters not how long we have to wait. Whether it be 70 or 700 years, we can wait for the opportune time to move, if we make haste, it may only prove to be detrimental to us. Be patient, we have already waited for eons for this to happen.”
”Yes, your Majesty.”
In a gleaming palace constructed by the most glorious of gems, a burst of wild laughter echoed in the ears of countless ”Nobles”.
”But I have to say this first, your majesty. When the burst of the purest qi exploded, the Space on numerous worlds warped. I find such a coincidence as weird, I implore you to have the 'Nobles' of the Lower and Middle Realms to be warry.”
”Do what you must. I will be returning to trying to open the Origin once again.”
”Thank you for giving me your trust, your Majesty.”

Around noon, Wang Ling finally had the chance to find the right location where the flame essence is densest. There was no Beast around the area, and even if there are they are mostly harmless to Wang Ling.
He found a good place. In front of him was a river of red hot lava. Emitting an enormous amount of qi, Wang Ling dove into the said river and went deep.
