"Meet Uncle Heng."
Regardless of age, strength or weakness, these creatures all called Wang Heng "Uncle Heng", which made Wang Heng feel like he was very old and had lived an extremely long life.
However, he had expected this. After all, he was the son of the Immortal King, only one generation younger than him.
Chapter 17 Malice
In response to the greetings and respectful addresses from several people, Wang Heng just nodded calmly and did not make any other expressions.
Seeing Wang Heng's indifferent attitude, the young man and the three creatures behind him were vaguely confused.
You know, the former "Wang Heng" would at least say a few words to them and talk about family ties when he met them.
But at this moment, Wang Heng responded indifferently, and his eyes showed a feeling of not recognizing him at all, which made them feel something was wrong.
At this time, Wang Heng heard Wang Mian's voice transmission, informing him of the identities of the people in front of him.
They were the clan that was sent out by the Wang family of the Immortal Realm back then. Their ancestors were brothers of the Immortal King Wang Gen.
The young man in the lead was a young prodigy who was placed with great hopes by this branch. He showed extraordinary talent as soon as he was born and was believed to have a chance to become an Immortal King.
The three people behind the young man, one is a true immortal, two are supreme masters of the highest order, all of them are famous figures in the Wang family.
In addition to their identity information, Wang Mian also told them about their relationship with Wang Heng, for example, the young man who claimed to have the potential to be an Immortal King, and who was vaguely in competition with Wang Heng.
Both of them need to use the three perfect seeds in the Wang family's collection, but Wang Heng's identity and seniority are superior to that of the young man, so he has the priority to choose the Dao seeds.
Anyone who encountered this situation would be dissatisfied, however, the boy showed respect for his elders and was willing to do it.
In the eyes of Wang Mian, an observer, either he is really as magnanimous, broad-minded and sensible as he appears to be, or he is extremely cunning and hides his true intentions.
After listening to Wang Mian's introduction, Wang Heng was thoughtful and thought of the look that made him feel strange just now.
His intuition told him that this young man should be the second type and was very cunning.
Looking at the True Immortal and the two Supreme Beings again, although they were all smiling and their eyes were full of respect, one still felt uncomfortable.
He probably understood that the people of this lineage were enemies rather than friends to him, and even though they all had the surname Wang, it could not change this fact.
Sometimes, conflicts over resources can completely overshadow the blood connection, and this happens too often.
Wang Heng couldn't help but feel a little disgusted with this lineage. Being able to receive the Immortal King's protection and enjoy all kinds of resources brought by his power, they should be content and grateful, instead of acting one way on the surface and another behind the scenes just because the resources are reduced.
Now, because of the intimidation of the Immortal King, they dare not fight with him, nor do they dare to show resentment. If something happens to the Immortal King, then Wang Heng will be in danger. Internal problems may erupt first without waiting for external enemies to take action.
Thinking of this, Wang Heng felt even worse about the people in front of him.
“Wang Yue, you have been preparing to plant Dao seeds half a year ago.
You have been waiting for half a year. Your uncle is going to pick the seeds now. Don't worry, it will be your turn soon. "Wang Heng said with a smile, looking at the smiling boy in front of him.
Hearing this, the young man and the three strong men behind him kept their expressions unchanged, but they were obviously a little stiff, and it was obvious that they were angry.
In order to plant a perfect Tao seed for the young man, they waited for Wang Heng to plant the Tao for half a year. Now that Wang Heng mentioned this matter, it was naturally heartbreaking.
The young man did not show any resentment, but responded respectfully: "My uncle has said too much. As a junior, Wang Yue should respect his elders.
Listen to your uncle, is he going to cultivate the Dao? Then Wang Yue would like to congratulate your uncle in advance on his great accomplishments and his invincibility. "
"Haha, in line with your auspicious words, I will definitely be invincible in the world. Among those in the same realm, I will be invincible in the ancient world."
Just as Wang Heng was about to leave and passed by these people, the True Immortal behind Wang Yue suddenly asked, "Does Uncle Heng have a flawless Dao Seed that you're interested in?
I see that my uncle has strong flesh and blood, and amazing foundation. If he chooses to integrate the embryonic seed of the ancient universe into his body, he will be able to develop the magnificent flesh and blood power to the extreme and embark on an invincible path. "
Upon hearing this, Wang Heng looked towards the real immortal. He looked a little old, with white hair, white eyebrows, and white beard... He was wearing a loose Taoist robe, and had an immortal charm that seemed to be detached from the world. He could be described as an immortal.
His eyes and expression are also very kind, with a gentle look, giving people the feeling that he is easy to get along with.
But Wang Heng felt very uncomfortable, especially when the other party mentioned the power of flesh and blood, the embryonic seeds of the ancient universe, etc.
Logically speaking, his talent is more inclined towards the soul and spirit. If he wants to maximize his advantages, he should choose the Tao seed that is close to this direction, rather than developing any flesh and blood power.
From this we can see that the other party’s real intention is not to drink.
However, Wang Heng didn't care. He just nodded slightly, then turned and left.
After he and Wang Mian walked away, the young Wang Yue and the three strong men behind him began to whisper.
"Ancestor, do you think Wang Heng will consider your suggestion and choose the embryonic seed of the ancient universe? This kind of seed is one of the most numerous perfect seeds, and its probability of appearing in history is not small. Moreover, all the owners have made a great name for themselves." A human supreme opened his mouth and asked.
The True Immortal changed his charitable expression.
He replied: "It is highly unlikely. Although the Ancient Universe Prototype Seed is also the top-level perfect Dao Seed, it is still not worth mentioning compared to the rare Supreme Soul Seed.
Moreover, this great-uncle seems to have undergone some changes, and he feels different from before, but he has the aura of immortality covering him, and Wang Mian is present, so I can't do any in-depth investigation."
"Ancestor, what you mean is that Wang Heng will definitely choose that supreme soul seed?" At this time, Wang Yue asked.
The True Immortal nodded, frowning.
"This is inevitable. It seems that you are destined to miss out on the supreme soul seed, and you will also miss out on the Yuanshen Sword Art, one of the three great sword arts of ancient and modern times."
After a long sigh, he continued, “I originally thought that if Yue’er cultivated the Dao first, he would be able to get the soul seed first. When Yue’er showed his extraordinary talent in Yuanshen, the Immortal King would teach him his supreme Yuanshen Sword Technique.
By then, Yue'er will be able to roam the ancient world and look down on the heavens.
Who would have thought that Wang Heng would show up halfway and make all this a dream? How hateful."
“Why didn’t the Immortal King teach me the Supreme Sword Technique? He clearly praised my talent in person that year.” Wang Yue muttered to himself in confusion, feeling very depressed.
"Why? It's because our lineage has always had a connection with the Immortal Realm family, and the relationship is unclear.
The Immortal King already had a grudge against the Immortal Realm Clan, so he was naturally displeased after learning about this."
Chapter 18 Supreme Soul Seed
“If our ancestors had turned from darkness to light and severed ties with our Immortal Realm family, perhaps we would have obtained the Soul Sword Art long ago.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world, and there is no way to change anything now. If I rashly cut off the connection with the Immortal Realm family, it would be equivalent to offending two parties at the same time, which would be a thankless task. "
The True Immortal was filled with emotion, and there was something of a complaint about his ancestors in his voice, because his ancestors lacked the courage, which led to the current situation of this lineage being neither good nor bad, and extremely embarrassing.
“Since there is no supreme soul seed, Yue’er can only settle for the second best and choose the embryonic seed of the ancient universe. It is also considered the top perfect seed. With Yue’er’s talent, he will be able to cultivate the three immortal auras and become one of the top prodigies in the ancient world.” A supreme being said.
The immortal nodded.
"Of the three perfect Dao seeds, excluding the Supreme Soul Seed, there are only the Ancient Universe Prototype Seed and another ancient seed left. In comparison, the Ancient Universe Prototype Seed is more comprehensive, has greater potential, and has more possibilities for the future. The avenue represented by the other ancient seed is a bit single, which will make Yue'er's path narrower and narrower.
In other words, we have no choice.”
“The embryonic seed of the ancient universe? Even without the supreme soul seed and the Yuanshen sword technique, I am not weaker than anyone.” Wang Yue clenched his fists and muttered to himself.
The old Immortal and the two middle-aged men at the Extreme Supreme Realm patted him on the shoulders and said with satisfaction: "You have surpassed most people by having this state of mind. You will definitely be a powerful person in the future. The future of our lineage rests on your shoulders."
……
Wang Heng and Wang Mian were walking on the road to Daozhonghai, one in front and one behind, and they kept talking about Wang Yue's lineage.
He asked, shaking his head in confusion.
“This lineage does not have good intentions towards me, and there is a conflict of interest between us.
"Father, as the Immortal King, should be able to see it, why did he leave them alone? If it were me, I would have expelled them back to the Immortal Realm long ago."
Wang Mian explained: “Before the young master came, the Immortal King was very close to this lineage and had some feelings for it, so it was naturally difficult for him to make such a decision.
And the Immortal King did not just ignore it. Half a year ago, when Wang Yue wanted to be the first to choose the Tao Seed, the Immortal King personally rejected his idea and told them that the young master must choose first.
It is to prevent the rare soul seed in the ages from falling into the hands of the side branches.
You must know that back then, the Immortal King had gone to great lengths to obtain this supreme soul seed, and naturally he wanted to leave it to his own descendants."
"Supreme Soul Seed?"
Wang Heng was surprised. Of the three perfect seeds, he only knew that one was the embryonic seed of the ancient universe. He learned that from a True Immortal who had ill intentions towards him. Unexpectedly, one of the other two was a soul power seed, and a supreme soul seed at that.
Although he has not seen this seed yet, Wang Heng has already had a hunch that the Supreme Soul Seed is the most suitable Tao Seed for him.
Compared with creatures of the same age, his incomparably more powerful soul is the best soil for soul seeds to take root. It can maximize the use of the enormous soul power. Coupled with the Quelling Rebellion Technique, it is hard to imagine how powerful he will be.
“Yes, the Supreme Soul Seed.
In this world, there are many soul power seeds, most of which come from fallen strong men. They are dead, but their residual souls remain in the world, and gradually generate soul power seeds over the years. You only need to kill them to obtain them.
As far as I know, the Immortal King once killed a remnant soul of the quasi-Immortal King level and obtained an extremely powerful soul power seed.
For cultivators, soul power seeds are a good choice. Once planted, the place where they take root and sprout is where the soul is. As the soul power seeds are planted, the cultivator's soul power will be baptized again and again and become stronger.
However, there is a fatal flaw in choosing the soul power seeds transformed from the residual souls of such powerful people. Their cultivation level during their lifetime will become a red line that prevents the cultivator from moving forward.
To avoid this, one needs to choose another kind of soul power seed that is born from heaven and earth. Such a seed is extremely rare and has growth potential. It can grow with the cultivator and has no upper limit. What level it can reach in the end depends entirely on the cultivator himself.
Among the three perfect seeds that you are about to choose, there is a soul seed born from heaven and earth. Moreover, it is the most rare and top-notch soul seed of this kind. It has only appeared a few times since ancient times. It is not like the ancient universe embryonic seed, which is also rare, but is often obtained by living beings. "
Wang Mian described it vividly, praising this supreme soul seed with great respect.
Wang Heng's heart was pounding when he heard this. He thought that if he focused on his soul, he might be able to find an unprecedented and powerful path.
In the perfect world, he realized the importance of the physical body to a cultivator from the experiences of Shi Hao and Liu Shen. With only a spirit but no physical body, one is ultimately like a rootless duckweed.
The balanced development of the two is the right way.
But now there is a supreme way of focusing on the spirit before him, and he has to go for it whether he wants to or not.
"The Great Way, different paths lead to the same destination, the path of the physical body and the path of the spirit, it doesn't matter which one reaches the end first.
There is the Immortal Sutra, which can cultivate the body to immortality, but there is no Yuanshen Sutra that is as famous as it. This shows how difficult the Yuanshen path is. If I choose the Supreme Soul Seed, this problem may be solved. "Wang Heng said to himself, planning his future.
“Sir, Wang Qi deliberately mentioned the embryonic seed of the ancient universe, possibly to interfere with your choice.
The reason is that the descendant of that lineage, that young man named Wang Yue, has always wanted to obtain the Supreme Soul Seed collected by the Immortal King, in order to get his hands on the Yuan Shen Sword Technique."
Wang Heng nodded slightly.
"So that's how it is. I'm not afraid of open attacks, but I'm afraid of hidden arrows. The sooner this smiling tiger is eliminated, the better. Senior, do you have any good suggestions? Can I ask the Xunyang Quasi-Immortal King to help eliminate the side branch?"
Wang Mian frowned slightly upon hearing this, then shook his head and said, "Young Master's worries are not unreasonable. It is easy to dodge an open attack, but it is difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. However, there are several True Immortals in the side branch. They have been with Senior Xunyang for millions of years before Young Master was born, and their friendship is very deep. If it were not for the instruction of the Immortal King, Senior Xunyang would probably not act rashly.
The same goes for other powerful people in the family. For matters as important as punishing collateral relatives, the decision must be made by the Immortal King."
"Okay, I understand." Wang Heng was helpless. After all, he had not yet embarked on the path of cultivation, his strength was low, and he had no right to deal with true immortals.
“But don’t worry, sir. Even if the side clan has malicious intentions, they dare not put them into action. When the Immortal King returns, I will present everything I have seen and heard to him, and let the Immortal King make the decision.
