Chapter 543: Difficult Decision (2/2)
Xue Wei did not rush to reach a decision, it was clear that he was thinking through the pros and cons for each solution, and in the end, a sigh escaped his lips as he leaned back.
”I guess that the King realm will have to wait a bit longer.” As he spoke, the expression in his eyes turned firm, and it was clear that he would not change his mind.
”Why did you choose this decision?” Lan was curious for what had been the reason for him to decide upon continuing to gather Qi, so he naturally asked him about it.
”Although I wish to advance as soon as possible, it really does not matter while I am in the Ghost Realm.” Xue Wei did not hide his reasons, as he began explaining himself to Lan.
”The Ghost Realm is full of heaven and earth essence. The amount of Qi that I can refine here is many times more than the outside world. You told me that the more energy that my body contains, the better foundations my spirit body would have, so I feel that it is better to spend the time here to consolidate my foundations and then advance, either just before we leave, or when we have returned to the world of the living.
”Although there is danger in the Ghost Realm, and I do need to become stronger, the experts we will be encountering around are already so much stronger than me that even if I do reach the King rank, it won't make any difference.”
Lan nodded his head in approval. He understood Xue Wei's position, and knew that he would want to get as strong as possible in the shortest possible time. He wanted to reunite with Wang Xiaoyun, but he also wanted to find his uncle.
Even with these two things in mind, he chose to prioritize his future, and wait for the right time to advance. This was a decision that caused Lan to look at him as an equal, and not only as a member of the younger generation.
It was indeed this worry that had made Xue Wei hesitate before deciding. He instantly knew that advancing would help him on a short term basis, but he also knew that he could not only look at his current problems. Even when they were solved, how was he supposed to continue to advance if he did not build the strongest foundation for his journey towards the apex of the universe?
After meeting Hui Yue, and truly understanding the horror that was his and Lan's strength, he knew that he was merely an ant compared to them.
What he was aiming for was not only to bring an end to all the problems he was encountering now, but also to reach a new world. A place where he, Wang Xiaoyun, and all his friends could start anew.
