352 Young Man, I Really Think Highly Of You (1/2)

”Refuse?” Faceless One was a bit caught by surprise by Wang Lu's refusal. ”The reason?”

”Because I know that it will upset you. Anything that will make you happy, I will take the complete opposite.”

”... Just like that?” Faceless One said, ”I did not expect you to be so naive. Because of momentary likes and dislikes, you can even cast aside the bigger picture?”

Wang Lu sneered, ”Pfft, the big picture? Who do you think I am? You want to lure me into doing your bidding by talking to me about likes and dislikes and the bigger picture? Listen carefully, my momentary dislike is much more important than what you call the bigger picture.”

”You…”

”I am a Nine Regions cultivator, not your Western Continent profession. For me, the ideas and understanding are far more important than riches and honor, and secular world power. So, if you're talking to me about interest, then you're talking to the wrong person.”

”That's simply absurd!” Faceless One angrily said, ”You…”

Wang Lu directly interrupted, ”That's enough, no need to say anymore. Just quietly wait for the resurrection of Golden King and the complete eradication of your Holy Light Religion and Holy Light belief. Honestly, his little bit of hatred towards Holy Light Religion alone is enough for me to stand on the side of Golden King.”

”...” After a long silence, Faceless One laughed wildly. ”Hahaha! You will definitely regret this, you simply don't know what you've done! What you'd lose!”

”Hahaha, since I don't know about it, why should I regret? Wait till I know. Besides, let me borrow a phrase from the people in the past: those are all good, but I don't like them.”

His voice has just fallen when the boundless darkness suddenly lightened up—a dazzling light lit in the front.

The haze scattered, the voice of Faceless One suddenly disappeared, and within his line of sight, he saw the towering Beautiful Unique Pool Peak!

And near him, he saw the still unconscious Liu Li, Bai Shixuan, and Quan Zouhua. Only their gentle breathings proved that they were okay. The only one that was in an awkward situation was Aya. Because he didn't have enough time to tie her to the seat, she was thrown down and curled up on her own leg.

... The space where he has just had a conversation with Faceless One should be an independent space separated by spells. It was there where the challengers would undergo very rigorous tests. They were strict enough that the mighty ancients were left helpless and had to use a tricky way, by using the vehicle's inertia to break through the trial area.

So now, was the Golden King's vehicle, driven by inertia, carried them pass the trial area?

Or did Wang Lu pass the trial ahead of the others?

Wang Lu somewhat curiously thought. Theoretically, since other people still fell asleep and only he woke up alone, it should be the later. However, he really didn't feel his conversation with Faceless One has achieved anything. If that was the test, what was it?

However, his thoughts were quickly attracted to the ever-closer Beautiful Unique Pool Peak. The towering peak was like a majestic giant, filled with suffocating oppression. Only when one has sufficiently gotten really close to it that one would understand that the significance of this trial was far more than just the finish line of the trial.

He removed the seat belt and reached out his hand to control the vehicle, to rapidly climbed along the mountain. However, the mountain path was very long. After nobody knows how much time has passed, Wang Lu finally arrived at the summit. And there, an unexpected person was waiting for him.

The man stood on the summit, glittered with golden light from the sun above the sea of clouds behind him.

However, when he approached, he found out that the dazzling golden light did not come from the distant sun, but from the man himself. That unequaled brilliance even eclipsed the light from the sun.

”Golden King?”

As he got out of the vehicle, his mind was stunned, feeling that everything didn't seem to be that incomprehensible.

”Humph, given your achievements and accomplishments, I have granted you the qualification to call my name and speak to me.” Golden King lifted up his head lightly and gently landed his gaze. ”Bask in the glory, for you are the only mortal that has been given this gift for more than thousands of years.”

Wang Lu lightly nodded with a faint smile.

Then, Golden King slightly bowed his head, and his eyes showed a considerable appreciation. ”Apart from me, you are the only one who has reached the summit of the mountain in the last tens of thousands of years.”

Wang Lu was somewhat surprised. ”Only two people? What about the Holy Light Religion…”
