753 Ascertaining a Direction! (1/2)
Wang Baole furrowed his brows, turning his head to stare coldly at the Grand Supreme Elder behind him. He didn't expect the guy to accept reality so quickly and even start sucking up to him.
Even aliens know how to suck up to people? Wang Baole hmphed in his heart. As the Federation President in waiting, he had met many bootlickers in his life. He must not be the kind of person who liked listening to people suck up to him. Hence, he said coldly, ”You could have been killed by me not long ago!”
His words brought with them some of his lingering killing intent. As the Grand Supreme Elder heard them, his body shook, and he looked at Wang Baole with excitement and seemingly unlimited gratitude. If one looked closely, they would see the tears shimmering in his eyes.
”Master, this exemplifies your high morals. Under the bad influence of the three greater sects, today's Divine Eye civilization has become a dark place where everyone is selfish and desensitized to the violence of murder. Yet, I can meet someone like you, Master. This is definitely the luckiest thing that's happened to me in my entire life!”
”Enough! De Kunzi, don't say these kinds of things again, I don't like listening to people bootlicking. Know your place!” Wang Baole had an annoyed expression and felt more annoyed the more he looked at De Kunzi. He even slightly regretted not killing him earlier. After that, he hmphed coldly and walked forward.
After hearing that, the Grand Supreme Elder's avatar became more serious and immediately spoke solemnly.
”De Kunzi obeys your order. Master's words are like a wave sweeping away the fog, causing me to see the sky. You've allowed me to see the future of the Divine Eye civilization, you've allowed me to see hope. Your tall and straight figure is like a pillar supporting the entire Divine Eye civilization, exuding valiance and causing me to…”
After hearing the first half of what De Kunzi said, the annoyance in Wang Baole's heart exploded forth. He suddenly turned his head and was about to scold De Kunzi strictly. He felt that, as an excellent and outstanding president, he couldn't have yes-men around him and definitely couldn't let De Kunzi continue. That would be too damaging to his reputation. But before he could scold De Kunzi, he heard the second half of what he had to say…
That sentence praising his tall and straight figure made Wang Baole cough, and his expression was noticed by De Kunzi in an instant. As his eyes turned, De Kunzi quickly spoke.
”Master, actually, what I said previously is unimportant. The most important thing is that I'm able to follow such a handsome and valiant man. It's the greatest honor of my life to be at the side of the most handsome man in the entire Divine Eye civilization.”
Wang Baole gave De Kunzi a deep look. After a moment, his expression relaxed quite a bit and revealed a sense of wistfulness. He even sighed in his heart.
I can't really blame him, it's all my fault. Most handsome in the Federation, most handsome in the Divine Eye civilization… So be it, I was mistaken. He wasn't bootlicking, he was telling the truth. Wang Baole sighed. He felt that even the Federation President couldn't be so cruel as to not allow people to praise him from the heart. It wouldn't be good to force people to say untrue statements.
So, as he left this cosmos and returned to the Holy Crest Sect's battleship, under Wang Baole's understanding, De Kunzi unleashed his mystic technique to the extreme. As they traveled, he continuously showered Wang Baole with praises regarding his appearance, not once repeating compliments. As Wang Baole listened, he became wistful once again and reluctantly smiled and nodded.
This continued until they saw the battleship that the Holy Crest Sect sent to await Wang Baole's return in the cosmos. As the true body of De Kunzi walked out to welcome him, Wang Baole returned to the Holy Crest Sect's battleship. The Holy Crest Sect's Grand Supreme Elder didn't express any discomfort as he took over the task of sucking up from his avatar.
Afterward, he interrupted the truths that De Kunzi was saying and made up an excuse to search the soul of his true body. As the death curse was still present, De Kunzi dared not resist. Hence, Wang Baole searched the soul of De Kunzi's main body very thoroughly and gained a deeper understanding of the Divine Eye civilization.
That was especially so for the conflict between the royalty and the three greater sects. He gained a fuller picture of the conflict. But at the same time, there was one thing that gave Wang Baole a headache.
That was how to get along with the royalty and get the continuation of the Demonic Eye Art. This was a huge issue that stood in front of Wang Baole. After all, if he wanted to maintain the high speed that his cultivation was increasing, he had to get the associated techniques to the Demonic Eye Art. He could continue cultivating regardless, but refining his Soul Conduit cultivation with Nascent Soul techniques was akin to pulling a giant horse cart with a pony.
But the royalty of the Divine Eye civilization had been put on house arrest and sealed under the precautions of the three greater sects. They cut off almost all possibility of communicating with the outside world. Although a few methods remained, they were all under the supervision of the three greater sects.
