Chapter 398: Chapter 196 Don’t be too outrageous! _2

Jiang Pinting escaped, not knowing whether she was alive or dead, but from Chen Shi’s tone, she was probably dead too.

Chen Shi sat in the Taishi Chair, never moving.

Scholar Pei faced Chen Shi one-on-one in a duel, and the result was defeat in just one move. Had Chen Shi not stopped in time, his fingers would have already penetrated Scholar Pei’s head, blinding if not killing him.

It seemed, indeed, that Chen Shi used no second move.

Scholar Pei was extremely saddened, it seemed Chen Shi truly did not humiliate him.

But it would have been better for him to be humiliated, it would have been easier to bear.

"The rank of the Divine Embryo greatly impacts cultivators."

As soon as Scholar Pei began to speak, tears uncontrollably slid down his face. He choked up, and Chen Shi quickly said, "Stand up, don’t kneel... Come sit slowly in my Taishi Chair, I will stand."

Chen Shi helped him up to sit in the Taishi Chair. Scholar Pei lifted his sleeve to wipe away the tears, steadied his emotions, and said, "The rank of the Divine Embryo greatly impacts cultivators. In the early stages of cultivation, much of a cultivator’s power lies within the Divine Embryo. Only when one cultivates the Nascent Soul does the role of the Divine Embryo diminish slightly, but when one cultivates to the Divine Descent Realm, sensing the Outer Heaven True God, and the True God bestows Divine Power and enlightenment, the Divine Embryo becomes extremely powerful again. Higher-ranked Divine Embryos can even surpass the Nascent Soul, incredibly powerful!"

Chen Shi was astonished and said, "How have I never noticed that the Divine Embryo is so powerful..."

He stopped himself there.

The cultivators he fought often died within one or two moves, just like Zhu Bajie eating ginsengfruits — one gulp per fruit, where was the time to taste?

Those cultivators, even if they utilized the advantage of the Divine Embryo well, died in one move without any chance to show it.

He never asked those cultivators which Divine Embryo they had, no basis for comparison.

Scholar Pei said, "Lower-ranked Divine Embryos provide limited enhancement for cultivators. Below fifth-grade, they are all inferior, even cultivating a Golden Core is difficult. Above fourth-grade, cultivation of the Golden Core Nascent Soul is possible, but to cultivate to the Nascent Soul or higher realms, a third-grade Divine Fetus is needed. Secondly ranked and first-ranked Divine Embryo bearers often have no great restrictions in their realms and can cultivate to very high realms, even to the Mahayana!"

Chen Shi was stunned.

Xiao Wangsun had said that his grandfather was a ninth-grade Divine Embryo, inferior. The power contained in a first-grade Divine Embryo was over two hundred and fifty times that of a ninth-grade!

"Grandfather actually cultivated to this point with a ninth-grade Divine Embryo..."

Chen Shi suddenly felt that his grandfather was truly remarkable, breaking the limits of cultivation, contesting the powerful of the world with a ninth-grade Divine Embryo, indeed a monumental feat!

"What is your family’s young master like? What’s his name?" Chen Shi asked.

Scholar Pei said, "I don’t know, we just call him the young master."

"Hiding his name? The deeds, often unspeakable!"

Chen Shi wondered, a young master holding great power, not even needing a name, simply addressed as ’young master.’

Young master became his code name, even Zen Master Ku from the Great Baoguo Temple had to respect him three parts, transmitting the dharma upon meeting.

Who exactly was this person?

From which family?

"Where does the young master reside?"

Chen Shi’s gaze flickered, and said, "What properties does he own?" freёweɓnovel_com

Scholar Pei dared not hide anything and said, "How many properties the young master owns, I, a mere scout, am hardly qualified to know. Every time I meet the young master, it’s in the Zheng King’s Mansion in Yudou. The young master treats us very well, rewarding for merits and punishing for faults. Cultivation techniques, spells, money, estates, women, even promotions to official positions are given much more than by other families. Under the young master’s command, we willingly give our lives for him."

"Zheng King’s Mansion?"

Chen Shi pondered; among the Thirteen Families that held power over the world, there was none surnamed Zheng.

Could the young master have the surname Zheng?

"I abide by my promises, I said I wouldn’t kill you, so I won’t."

Chen Shi waved his hand, "You may leave."

Scholar Pei hesitated and then said, "Now that I have betrayed the young master, returning to Zheng King’s Mansion, I will certainly be punished. But I will still go back and report to the young master your destruction of the Taiping Sect and the killing of Jiang Pinting and six others. Do you still want to let me go?"

Chen Shi laughed and said, "Have you become foolish from reading too much? You go back, and you will surely be punished! Just run away and send a letter to the young master. He will also know I killed and destroyed evidence."

Scholar Pei solemnly said, "The young master treated me with respect, and I ought to repay him with respect. I fear death, therefore under the threat of death, I betrayed the young master, but I am also grateful for his kindness to me, so even at the risk of being punished, I must go back and inform the young master of this matter! This is the duty of a gentleman!"

Chen Shi snickered, "Money and power buy your life, it’s really simple."

Scholar Pei said, "Chen Shi, you are cunning, but you have misread the master’s books; you don’t understand my morality and perseverance!"

Chen Shi waved his hand irritably, "Go, quickly go! Before I change my mind!"

Scholar Pei walked out, then stopped, turned back and said, "You really won’t kill me? I’m really leaving!"

Chen Shi waved his hand, coldly laughing, "You forsake the greater good for minor favors, an accomplice to evil deeds, I let you go now, but next time I see you, I will surely kill you. Get out!"

Scholar Pei left.

Chen Shi flicked his finger, and a yellow talisman flew up, transforming into a yellow sparrow fluttering its wings following Scholar Pei.

He wanted to see if Scholar Pei would really do as he said, return to Yudou, and report to the young master.

Scholar Pei arrived at a tea house, retrieved his bookcase, and carrying the bookcase, he left the city heading towards Yudou.

Chen Shi tracked him for hundreds of miles, seeing that he never changed direction, only then did he recall the yellow sparrow.

"Black Pot, he is selling his life for the young master over small favors, but he doesn’t know that the young master’s properties are all harmful to human life. Like the Taiping Sect, how many children has it killed?"
