Chapter 830: Law Vision

“Haitang, don’t be too sad. Your uncle and I will protect you, so don’t worry. We will settle this score with the Nine Nether Sect sooner or later. Yutong and Qingzhi will not have died in vain.” Wang Ruyan said in a deep voice. Wang Qingzhi had also died in that catastrophe, and she harbored deep resentment towards the Nine Nether Sect.

“Uncle, Auntie, do you think we have a chance for revenge? I heard my father say that when he escaped from the sect, Shangguan Wei was already at the Nascent Soul stage. Her cultivation must be even higher now!”

Ye Haitang spoke with a bitter tone. The higher Shangguan Wei’s cultivation, the harder it would be for her to seek revenge. Even if she cultivated the ‘Supreme Forgetting Emotion Grand Art,’ by the time she reached the Nascent Soul stage, Shangguan Wei would likely have already advanced to the Soul Transformation stage!

Wang Changsheng sighed softly. He had also thought of this. Their greatest advantage was operating in the shadows, while the Nine Nether Sect was in the open.

“Of course, we are not a match for Shangguan Wei. However, the enemy of our enemy is our friend. We can unite with the opposing forces within the Nine Nether Sect to deal with them. But to forge iron, one must first be strong oneself. What you need to do is cultivate diligently, do you understand?” Wang Changsheng said, comforting her.

Ye Haitang nodded thoughtfully and agreed.

A sudden, sharp whistling sound emanated from Wang Changsheng. He furrowed his brow slightly and took out a communication disk. Wang Qiuhong’s urgent voice suddenly rang out: “Grandfather, a low-grade cultivation technique has been stolen. That technique was most likely taken by Aunt Haitang.”

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had killed four Core Formation cultivators and obtained many ancient texts. These items were all stored in the family’s scripture pavilion. Naturally, texts from the Cloud Sea Sect were not included, to prevent family members from cultivating them and raising suspicion.

Wang Changsheng frowned. He looked at Ye Haitang, his gaze carrying a hint of doubt. Given Ye Haitang’s status, she lacked no cultivation resources. There was no need for her to steal the family’s low-grade cultivation technique; she could simply copy it.

Ye Haitang bit her red lips, her eyes red-rimmed, and said: “Uncle, I stole the technique. I want to avenge my younger brother. The ‘Myriad Array True Scroll’ won’t be enough to deal with Shangguan Wei. Father and Mother told me to take good care of my brother, but I failed to protect him. If I don’t avenge him, I won’t be able to face Father and Mother.”

Ye Haitang had stolen the original version. However, all the texts in the scripture pavilion had records and backups. After cataloging the many new texts acquired recently, they discovered the technique was missing.

“Qiuhong, what is the name of that technique?”

“‘Supreme Forgetting Emotion Grand Art.’ Upon grand accomplishment, one becomes estranged from all kin, devoid of emotion and desire.”

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan exchanged glances. Both could see the surprise in each other’s eyes. If a person became estranged from all kin, devoid of emotion and desire, what difference would there be between them and a puppet beast? Wang Changsheng certainly did not want Ye Haitang to become such a person.

“Haitang, honestly tell your uncle, have you cultivated this technique?” Wang Changsheng looked at Ye Haitang and spoke kindly.

Tears welled up in Ye Haitang’s eyes, and she choked out: “Uncle, I want to avenge my brother. If I don’t cultivate the ‘Supreme Forgetting Emotion Grand Art,’ I won’t be able to avenge him.”

Wang Ruyan sighed softly. She stepped forward and embraced Ye Haitang. Ye Haitang could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

“Silly child, don’t talk nonsense. We are a family. Revenge is not something you have to do alone. Your uncle and I will help avenge Yutong and Qingzhi. Blood will have blood. Your parents, if they are watching from above, would not want you to become someone estranged from all kin, devoid of emotion and desire. Your uncle and I promised your parents that we would take good care of you.” Wang Ruyan gently patted Ye Haitang’s back, comforting her.

“That’s right! If your parents knew, they wouldn’t want to see you like this. Haitang, promise Uncle, don’t cultivate this technique. If you want to change your cultivation technique, you can switch to another one. Just don’t cultivate the ‘Supreme Forgetting Emotion Grand Art,’ alright?”

To be honest, Ye Lin contributed greatly to the Wang family’s continuous emergence of Core Formation cultivators. Among other things, without his help in setting up the third-tier defensive formations, it would be hard to say whether Wang Qingshan, Wang Qingjing, and Wang Qingling would have advanced to the Core Formation stage. The power of a third-tier defensive formation surpasses that of a nascent defensive artifact. The island-protecting grand formation set up by Ye Lin had repeatedly fended off enemy attacks. Without Ye Lin’s help in setting up formations, even if Wang Changsheng had enough spirit stones, he might not have been able to acquire suitable formation-laying tools. After all, the inheritance of formation arts is the most difficult cultivation skill.

Ye Haitang cultivated the ‘Myriad Array True Scroll,’ and she would likely become a third-tier formation master. If she truly wanted to switch cultivation techniques to avenge Ye Yutong, Wang Changsheng wouldn’t be able to stop her. Ye Lin left behind a large number of formation texts. Ye Haitang’s theoretical knowledge was solid. Ye Haitang switching cultivation techniques would not hinder her from becoming a third-tier formation master. If Ye Haitang cultivated the ‘Supreme Forgetting Emotion Grand Art,’ her feelings for the Wang family would gradually diminish; this was a public concern. Ye Haitang was the only surviving bloodline of Ye Lin and Wang Changyue. Wang Changsheng did not want Ye Haitang to become estranged from all kin; this was a personal concern. Both for public and private reasons, Wang Changsheng did not want Ye Haitang to cultivate the ‘Supreme Forgetting Emotion Grand Art.’

Ye Haitang bit her red lips tightly and choked out: “But I want revenge, I want to kill the enemy myself. My brother knew I liked sweets and bought so many for me in the Eastern Wilderness. I must personally slay the murderer.”

“Don’t worry! Your uncle and auntie will personally avenge your brother. Give the ‘Supreme Forgetting Emotion Grand Art’ to Uncle.”

Ye Haitang let out a long sigh. She took out a black shell and handed it to Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan chatted with Ye Haitang for a while, then left. Wang Changsheng informed Wang Qiuming and asked Wang Tianmi to spend more time with Ye Haitang, guiding her to prevent her from taking extreme measures and cultivating the ‘Supreme Forgetting Emotion Grand Art.’

Back at their residence, Wang Changsheng took out a red eyeball, a thoughtful expression on his face. Four Core Formation cultivators had attacked. All had used disguises, but their true appearances were restored after death. One of them was named Lu Gang. It was said he had plundered the Eight Directions Alliance’s wealth. Wang Changsheng found a large amount of treasure on Lu Gang’s body: there were ten Core Formation spiritual items alone, over 500,000 spirit stones, twelve magic treasures, various refining and alchemy materials, two Immortal Suppressing Tokens, and a map. The map depicted a topographic area, but the location it marked was unknown.

What interested Wang Changsheng most was a red eyeball. The red eyeball was a magic treasure. Using this treasure, one could see through illusions and pinpoint the core of a formation. Lu Gang had used this very treasure to locate the formation’s core and almost escaped.

Nangong Miao had given Wang Changsheng the refining insights of several fourth-tier artifact refiners from the Zhenhai Sect. These included methods for refining various magic treasures. Among them was the method for refining ‘Dharma Eyes.’ Dharma Eyes, strictly speaking, were acquired spiritual eyes. Ye Lin possessed the Golden Moon Spiritual Eyes, which could easily see through illusions and enthrall people. Some powerful exotic beasts also possessed similar divine abilities. The eyes of exotic beasts could be used to refine ‘Dharma Eyes.’ Lu Gang had only roughly refined it, so the grade of this Dharma Eye was not high.

This Dharma Eye was a fire-attribute magic treasure, with abundant fire spiritual energy. Wang Changsheng did not have a fire spiritual root, so he could not use it. Wang Ruyan possessed a fire spiritual root, so she could refine and use it. However, Wang Changsheng wanted to re-temper this Dharma Eye. He placed the Dharma Eye into the Azure Lotus Cauldron, intending to use the cauldron to remove impurities from the Dharma Eye and then add other materials to re-refine it. The grade of a Dharma Eye depended on the refining materials and the artifact refiner’s skill level. Wang Changsheng possessed the Profound Nether Black Lotus Flame and also had refining schematics. As long as the other auxiliary materials were decent, the re-refined Dharma Eye would certainly be powerful.
