Chapter 1562: The Busisnessman Strikes

Wang Wei stopped reading. "This changes everything."

"Yes. The competition has started," Wang Bo nodded.

"Our priority should be getting our hands on that Transcendent Heaven Will," Yan Shirong said. "I suggest all sect members hand over 80% of their merit during the war."

"You want to slaughter everyone, huh?" Wang Bo commented.

"You disagree?"

"No. It may be a good approach to focus on buying this thing, sacrificing everything before we reach our goal," Wang Bo replied.

"We previously failed to create a protector for our clan, and now, this is the perfect time to compensate for our mistake," Yan Hai added, agreeing with Yan Shirong’s radical approach.

"Wang Wei, what do you think?" Qiyuan asked. His words brought everyone’s attention to Wang Wei, whose lips were twitching.

"It’s obvious that this greedy boy doesn’t want to give up all his benefits," Yan Hai sneered.

"Aren’t you underestimating me a little? While it pains me, I understand this is the best approach. I know how to sacrifice for the greater good," Wang Wei replied.

"That’s good," Qiyuan nodded. "Only four factions have the unity or structure for such a strategy: us, Buddhism, the Origin Seal Continent, and the Qin Court. Buddhism does not need the Heaven Will, and it’s in the best interest of the continent to focus all their resources on Wu Hong so she can fulfil all her potential.

"That only leaves the Qin Court. All signs showed that the Human Emperor might have the second-highest success rate to become a Primordial Saint. So, their strategy could be the same as the continent, or he could compromise and follow our strategy."

Wang Wei nodded. Qiyuan’s analysis was correct. The Grand Sect Alliance was too bloated to force all its members to hand over 80% of their merit. The union was already showed signs of division because of Wang Guo’s actions. The demons and Innate Demon Gods are too focused on their battle, but if they stopped, they might have a chance.

Taoism appeared alright on the surface, but Supreme Unity’s reign has fundamentally fractured them. Now, there is a small scale division between the younger leaders who rose during the Seven Moon Era — led by Zhen BIyu — and the old members who either allowed Supreme Unity’s rise or died during the Ultimate Taboo.

Supreme God Shen Tian used to have absolute power in the Divine Faith Heaven. His status was similar to Ying Zheng’s. However, after he allied himself with some old Gods from ancient times to meet the two Primals’ requirements to be an Overlord, his power was balanced.

The Sword Path League is too individualistic. These swordsmen only care about pursuing higher realms of swordsmanship. The exchange list was an opportunity to increase their strength, so they would never give up on that for the betterment of the league.

The Skill Path Association has the lowest chance of using such a strategy. The only thing that keeps all these different professionals bound together is their interest, so asking all of them to give up 80% of their benefits for the association is probably blasphemous to most of them.

The Limitless Exchange Hall’s situation might be worse. They might have the largest number of all the Overlords, but most of their members are outer members, or loose cultivators who used their services to access higher-level resources.

Loose cultivators are even more individualistic than swordsmen, so asking them to hand over 80% of their hard work is tantamount to cutting off both of their hands. No one would accept such a rule. Even worse, these people who considered themselves non-law-abiding might even revolt.

"It doesn’t matter what the Qin Court does — as long as we can get our hands on one of them," Yan Shirong said. It was unrealistic to expect the sect to acquire both of these Heaven Wills.

"We can perfect the merit system after we return," Qiyuan said. "The question now is who should use it? We should prepare in advance." The exchange list has hinted at the possibility of failures, so it’s in the sect’s best interest to choose someone in advance and train that person to increase their chances of success.

"Whoever it is, they must be an Array Master, or of similar fields," Yan Shirong suggested. Everyone understood his logic. If their Primordial Saint is going to be the weakest in that realm, it’s best if the latter could use foreign help to increase their strength, and the best help would be a Transcendent Formation.

Qiyuan hesitated briefly before looking at Wang Bo. "Sir, how confident are you about your transcendence path?" In his mind, Wang Bo was the perfect candidate. His Rune Dao was essentially an array-based Dao, and more importantly, Wang Bo was fiercely loyal, making him the best protector. However, Qiyuan also wanted him to have a broader future.

Wang Bo’s body paused after hearing these words, considering them seriously. He understood the limits of his talent. Even without that accident, his cultivation talent was above average. Now, with the Wang Clan’s bloodline, his potential had increased, but was it to the level of being confident in walking the Transcendent Path?

"Give me some time to think abou it," Wang Bo replied.
