Paragon Of Sin

Chapter 1294 1288: NDAE, Future Together No More

Two weeks went by since the Worldly Awakening of a True Saintʼs exceptional seven minutes phenomenon. The True Worldly Recognitionʼs effects were considerably greater than the True Earthly Recognition, meaning the benefits were also more difficult to digest. While many have settled their gains, they would need secluded cultivation and in-depth pondering to grasp what theyʼve obtained here.

As such, the World of Eden gradually awakened cultivators from the state of enlightenment in the gentlest of manners, easing them out as they came to.

”What fortune...” Lin Xianxei sat cross-legged, expelling turbid spiritual air from her mouth. Her golden irises shone gorgeously. Since she met Lin Ming roughly seventy years ago, she had always been at the Star Core Phase, and as a Saintess of her faction with her Masterʼs backing, she had long since accumulated her Mystic Rune Seeds. She had been pondering them for so long, ensuring she established the best possible foundation to ascend. With the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Expo fortunes, she felt confident of reaching at least the 8th Rune Ascension, perhaps even the 9th!

She couldnʼt imagine the sheer benefits gained by everyone else. Wei Wuyin wasnʼt simply generous, he was a literal saint for allowing cultivators not affiliated with him to experience such incredible benefits. Given his strength, he couldʼve easily isolated all souls from the Neo-Dawn Starfieldʼs territory, and all they wouldʼve felt would be the Spiritquake.

When she thought about Wei Wuyin, from his unforgettably handsome visage to his status as a Worldly Saint Alchemist at the Mortal Realms, her heart began to pound fiercely as her cheeks grew slightly red.

What was an outstanding man?

A man who did not lack strength; Wei Wuyin had, as a Timelord, slaughtered a Derni-Mortal Lordʼs Avatar with a single swing of his saber.

A man who did not lack skill; Wei Wuyin was a ninety-five-year-old Worldly Saint Alchemist.

A man who did not lack talent; at the tender age of ninety-five, he was a Worldly Saint Alchemist and a Star Core Phase cultivator strong enough to fight against powers that exceeded Mortal Limits.

A man who did not lack personal forces; Wei Wuyin had at least eighty-odd Earthly Saints at his beck-and-call, including an Ancient Fire Phoenix that could threaten Trueborn!

A man who did not lack ambition; Wei Wuyin established his own territory, claimed the greatest known Solar Star in the world, and had no qualms about fighting for what he wanted!

A man who did not lack charisma; Whether in terms of temperament or intellect, Wei Wuyinʼs attractiveness was unimaginably heart-seizing, and his presence alone could move Earthly Saints to kneel and submit!

A man who did not lack looks; the obvious didnʼt need to be stated.

A man who did not lack wealth; Wei Wuyinʼs existence as a Worldly Saint Alchemist was already extraordinary, but even before then, the Neo-Dawn Starfield was a prime piece of wealth that would continue to provide throughout his lifetime, and he could freely support the cultivation of quintillions in number without issue!

What was an outstanding man?!

If not Wei Wuyin, there was not a single man who could be called outstanding in this entire world! Lin Xianxeiʼs heart kept racing as she couldnʼt remove his mark on her heart, recalling every interaction theyʼd had since the beginning, including his offer to take her as his. Before, she had scoffed at the idea of being a concubine or having to ʼearnʼ someoneʼs place as a wife, but now... as she thought about how many women just as beautiful or talented as her, if not more, were willing to be his...

The level of competition inspired dread as regret flooded her heart, whether she was consciously aware of it or not.

On the other end of the spectrum, Yang Chaoyueʼs eyes were forever bright as she left her cultivation state, staring at the empty stage. She no longer hesitated and sent a transmission message to Wei Wuyin via his given spatial ring. In the real world, a Void Portal emerged before her, and the Sky Monarchʼs heart howled as she beautifully smiled.

She walked into the Void Portal, lightly brushing a strand of hair away from her face.

Within his Neo-Dawn Starfield, under the protection of Baby Defiantʼs radiance, not even that creature could sense his Void Portals. He was free to conjure them without any fear of attracting its attention.

”...” Tian Muyang, Tian Lingyu, Tian Shangyang, Sky Monarch Bai, and the Princes and Princesses were all awake as well, having been for the last day or so, and they observed the Void Portal with shock. Yang Chaoyue simply left?

But the Void Portal remained open. Tian Lingyuʼs eyes shook, and her breathing sped up slightly. Just as she was hesitating, a hand pressed lightly on her shoulder. She turned to see its owner: a smiling Tian Muyang. ”Weʼre not at war yet,” he gently reminded her.

Her heart shook. ”Huuu...Haaa!” After a deep inhale followed by a heavy exhale, she lifted her chest and strode into the Void Portal.

Seeing this, a keen-minded princess realized the Void Portalʼs destination, and hope spurred in her heart. She moved toward the Portal, shocking the others, but just as she was about to reach it, it trembled slightly and then closed instantly.

”...”

”...”

”...”

Eventually, Lin Ming slowly awoke from his cultivation state. Finding himself in the real world, to his side, he saw Lin Xianxei, whose aura seemed to be in chaos. ”Senior Sister Lin?” He called out, but there was no response.

”Senior Sister Lin!” He called out, but again-no response.

It was only when he reached out to her, nearly touching her robes, that her body reacted as she moved away, giving him a glance of surprise. ”Lin Ming?” She said with a tinge of bewilderment and lingering blush. ”What is it?” Her voice was slightly cold. Whether subconsciously or not, the Grand Seerʼs seed had settled deeply in her heart, and the golden halo that once surrounded Lin Ming began to feel like dark clouds to her.

Perhaps his talent was exceptional, perhaps he was destined for great things, perhaps he was favored by her master, but the Grand Seerʼs words prophesied that her fate would be horrific and that Wei Wuyin, this man...he was possibly capable of bringing her everything she ever wanted in life.

A prick stung Lin Mingʼs heart as he heard the coldness in her voice. It was excruciating. While he and Lin Xianxei never had a real relationship, the possibility had always existed for more, yet for the first time since they met, he felt as if that would never happen.

”Nothing...” He said gloomily, not even feeling the desire to tell her about the World Rune blueprints that he obtained of the Wind Element. He simply remained silent.

Lin Xianxei looked at Lin Ming, and she sighed in her heart. They were inexplicably linked, but that didnʼt mean she had to choose him. How could she not know his thoughts? His desires? The Grand Seer had pointed it out clearly that day, and she simply refused to acknowledge it as his Senior Sister. She had even entertained the possibility as she saw him overcome obstacle after obstacle. From henceforth, she decided to sever that possibility.

Even if Wei Wuyin wasnʼt an option, Lin Ming wouldnʼt be one for her either.

The atmosphere between the two instantly became awkward.

”There is a way for you to win her heart, you know. Overcome Wei Wuyinʼs current brilliance by exceeding him on the path of cultivation,” the voice in Lin Mingʼs head whispered.

”What?!” Lin Ming was taken aback by the voiceʼs claim. Desperately, he urgently asked: ”How?!”

”Itʼs simple yet extremely difficult. All you have to do is become a Spiritualist.” The voice said confidently.

”A Spiritualist?” Lin Ming lifted his brow.

”Yes. The Path of a Spiritualist is the strongest path in the entire world. And you meet almost every requirement. If you take this path, not even Tian Yinwu or Wei Wuyin would be able to exceed you in terms of strength. What eighty Earthly Saints? When you first ascend, youʼll have no match at your cultivation level or against those weak, factory-made Earthly Saints.” The voice said with incredible allure.

Lin Ming gulped, ”Really?” ”Really.”

”...”

After a long, long time, Lin Ming glanced at Lin Xianxei, who was rotating her spatial ring with a thoughtful light in her eyes. He clenched his fists, bit his lips, and firmly said: ”How do I become a Spiritualist?”

”Great! Haba. Youʼll be the greatest cultivator in the world one day! Even Wei Wuyin will have to respect and terror you.”

Little did Lin Ming know, his Blessed path had bottomed out alongside his Karmic Luck. If Wei Wuyin had learned that he had acquired a measly Wind Attributed World Rune and not an Elemental Origin World Rune, he could have easily guessed this and warned him of the consequences of having outstanding fortunes without the needed value to support it.

Unfortunately, no one could tell him.

And no one would.
