Chapter 147: How Did I Achieve This?
Chapter 147: How Did I Achieve This?
Fang Che frowned and said, "Moreover, although the Seal God Palace has some trust in me, it's more like an adult watching over a child. They don't truly consider me as a confidant. And if I want the Seal God Palace to truly trust me, I must do something, like killing someone... Even if it means killing our own brethren who are currently Guardians or Protectors... Only then might I be able to stabilize my position in the Seal God Palace."
Upon hearing Fang Che's words, Dong Fang Sansan also felt it was a tricky situation.
"This matter is indeed worth considering."
As the old saying goes, the benevolent do not control the army, and the righteous do not manage finances.
Dong Fang Sansan skillfully applied the saying about not controlling the army.
His heart was cold enough.
For the sake of the grand goal and the victory of the major campaign, he was willing to sacrifice the gains and losses of minor battles at any time.
This was necessary.
But if Fang Che had to personally kill his own people, even Dong Fang Sansan felt that he couldn't bring himself to do it.
To achieve the ultimate goal and let a group of warriors sacrifice their lives in battle, it was one thing to die at the hands of the enemy.
But it was another to do it himself.
"I understand your thoughts, and I share the same concerns."
Dong Fang Sansan paused for a moment and said, "For this matter, it's best to avoid it if possible. But if it truly can't be avoided... Fang Che, you should know that dying at your hands is still better than falling into the hands of the Demon Sect and enduring their torture."
Fang Che was stunned.
"Once they fall into the hands of the Demon Sect, they will torture them relentlessly. Many Guardians and Protectors have betrayed their side because they simply couldn't endure it. But once they defect, they can't stop. With the blood of their brethren on their hands and the Five Spirit Puppet implanted within them, they become thorough Demon Sect members from then on!"
Dong Fang Sansan spoke with a heavy heart, "The existence of such people is a devastating blow to the organization they originally belonged to. Rather than that, it's better to let them keep their honor."
Dong Fang Sansan looked at Fang Che with a worried expression, "Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"I understand."
Fang Che sighed.
"So, if there's..."
Dong Fang Sansan said with difficulty, "...let them keep their honor."
Fang Che nodded silently.
If they kept their honor, then he would naturally bear the infamy.
Dong Fang Sansan didn't mention this part.
It was too cruel.
But Fang Che understood.
Dong Fang Sansan spoke softly, "You should know that by killing them, you're actually saving them. At this moment, Fang Che, you can't afford to be soft-hearted."
"I understand."
Fang Che said, "The second matter is about promotions among the Guardians. Over here, they guard against me, use me, assign me duties, and also try to restrain me in various ways. I have my plans and preparations for this."
"But maintaining balance on both sides requires exquisite means."
After listening, Dong Fang Sansan smiled, "You don't need to worry about this."
"Also, I want to forge my Soul Weapon now, and I need some Divine Metal." Fang Che stated his biggest request.
This was crucial for his future martial arts path.
"Divine Metal... Soul Weapon."
Dong Fang Sansan said, "This is something that can be used by those above the General Rank. But you're not far from that rank either. How much do you need?"
"Blades, spears, swords, and halberds."
Fang Che replied.
Dong Fang Sansan furrowed his brows tightly.
"Not that much."
"Just one for now is enough."
"Do you want a weapon, or..."
"As long as I have Divine Metal, I can forge it myself."
Fang Che already had a plan in mind.
Weapons forged by others could never truly be one with his heart.
As long as he had Divine Metal, he could use his own Divine Thought to constantly contemplate it, and then through a gradual process, he could transform the Divine Metal into the shape of the weapon he desired.
Only then would it be a true weapon that he could use for a lifetime and accompany him on his path of growth.
"Okay!"
"I'll help you get a piece for now."
Dong Fang Sansan said, "As for what to forge, you can decide."
"Good."
"Soon, someone will deliver it to you."
"Good."
At this point, Dong Fang Sansan suddenly stopped, as if deep in thought.
Fang Che didn't dare to interrupt his train of thought and quietly waited by the side.
After a long while, Dong Fang Sansan furrowed his brows and said, "When you mentioned Divine Metal, I suddenly thought of something."
Fang Che respectfully said, "Please speak, Lord Nine."
Dong Fang Sansan supported his chin with his hand and thought for a moment before saying, "Fang Che, the Only Me Sect recently searched for Ancient Jade, which I estimate is the one buried by the person in White Cloud Continent. And for this, I sent out two Soul-Destroying Jade Talismans. One was damaged, but the demon's divided soul was finally killed."
"It was also because of this that the Ancient Jade was lost."
Dong Fang Sansan spoke softly with uncertainty, "Later, the Only Me Sect stopped searching, saying that it had already been soul-bound by someone else, meaning someone else got it. If I'm not mistaken, that someone is you, right?"
Fang Che was shocked beyond words.
How could this be guessed?
(End of Chapter)Fang Che grinned and said, "For other matters, it's not surprising that Lord Nine could guess it was me. But for this matter... With millions of people on White Cloud Continent, how could Lord Nine be so certain it was me?"
"It really was you!"
Dong Sansan felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart, and his entire being exuded a vibrant energy.
This piece of jade was far too important!
If someone from the Demon Sect obtained it and grew stronger, they might become another Sun Wutian.
But now, it had fallen into Fang Che's hands, which was a huge relief for Dong Sansan.
Fang Che, puzzled, asked, "Lord Nine, did you really guess this?"
Dong Sansan smiled and pointed at Fang Che, saying, "You really believe it... Haha, guessing is necessary, but there must be a trail to follow to make an accurate guess."
"A trail?"
Fang Che was even more confused. He had been invisible from start to finish, so what trail could there be?
"That Sun Wutian died thousands of years ago at the hands of Snow Soothing Flute. His body was buried underground for thousands of years before he was resurrected."
Dong Sansan explained, "But you discovered the Wisdom Blood Spirit Ginseng, noticed the anomaly in the forest, and thus found the burial site. That's one trail."
"Yes," Fang Che nodded.
"The second trail is that his divided soul hid in the Wisdom Blood Spirit Ginseng and entered Wei Zihao's body, but you forced it out. That's another trail."
Dong Sansan smiled.
Fang Che still didn't understand. This shouldn't count as a trail...
"The third trail is that the dried corpse was damaged due to the Wisdom Blood Spirit Ginseng. The fourth trail is that the divided soul was destroyed by you using the Soul-Subduing Jade!"
"Do you still think it has nothing to do with you?"
Dong Sansan calmly said, "In a sense, from the time Sun Wutian was resurrected until now, you, Fang Che, are the true culprit."
"Because you caused all this. You made Sun Wutian lose his divine metal, the Formless Jade. So, in the depths of fate, there's the concept of Qi Mechanism Guidance."
"It's highly likely that, unintentionally, your actions caused Sun Wutian to lose this piece of jade. Therefore, you have the greatest chance of unintentionally obtaining it again. This is Qi Mechanism Guidance, and in a way, it's also called the Cause and Effect Cycle!"
Dong Sansan said, "But such things are not absolute. So earlier, I was indeed guessing. But I could only guess it was you. If it were someone else, I wouldn't have guessed. Do you understand?"
Did he understand? Fang Che felt like he understood nothing.
His mind was in a complete mess.
He had a bizarre feeling, 'This is absurd! How could this even happen?'
"I seem to understand what Lord Nine said, and I seem not to," Fang Che said in a daze.
"You don't need to understand," Dong Sansan laughed. "Just knowing that you obtained it is enough. Everything else is unimportant."
Fang Che nodded in confusion.
Alright, I don't understand these matters. As long as Lord Nine understands, I won't worry.
Dong Sansan put down a major concern, feeling relaxed and happy. He smiled and said, "Where did you get it from? It's so coincidental."
"It's also because of the Ancient Jade. I collected a pile of ancient jade, and the sect wanted to examine them, so they kicked me out..."
Upon saying this, Fang Che suddenly realized, "Wow, this is quite a coincidence too. It's also because of the ancient jade that I obtained the ancient jade..."
With a strange thought, he continued the story.
"Then I heard that the ancestral grave had been blown up, so I went out of curiosity. At the Sun Family Ancestral Grave, people from the Sky God Sect and Unified Heart Sect were fighting over the piece of jade. I defeated them and obtained it."
Fang Che explained.
Dong Sansan laughed and said, "So it's a matter of coincidence..."
As he spoke, his expression suddenly changed, and his eyes shone brightly. "You said the ancestral grave? The Sun Family Ancestral Grave?"
Fang Che was stunned. "Yes, the Sun Family Ancestral Grave!"
Dong Sansan paused.
Then, his expression turned serious. He stood up, clasped his hands behind his back, and paced slowly.
"I see, I see. So that's how it is..."
"Indeed, it's just as I thought," he said, deep in thought. "The Sun Family Ancestral Grave, the Sun Family Ancestral Grave..."
After a long while, he sat down, his brows furrowed.
Smiling, he said, "It seems like I have something to do when I return."
"What does Lord Nine mean?" Fang Che was puzzled.
"You only need to know that you've achieved another great feat."
Dong Sansan's entire being exuded a sense of relaxation as he said, "Very good, extremely good. It's indeed a matter of borrowing from heaven and earth."
Fang Che was speechless.
Throughout the conversation, Fang Che had understood everything at first, but now, he felt more and more confused.
"I'll record all your achievements in your file. Externally, it's best to keep this hidden," Dong Sansan instructed.
"Yes," Fang Che agreed, still dazed.
He still couldn't process what had happened: Did I achieve something great? What did I achieve? How did I achieve it?
Damn, I'm not stupid.
Dong Sansan chuckled and asked, "Anything else?"
"There is something else..." Fang Che hesitated and said, "Actually, in the first year of White Cloud Academy, there's also a disciple from the Night Demon Sect. He's from an eighth-rank clan, and his name is Ding Jieren."
"Hmm? Night Demon Sect?" Dong Sansan frowned.
