Chapter 3546 — I Have a Five-Element Constitution Too
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Hm... you mean Tianchan? Tianchan is a woman and cannot use the Linked-Heart Lock Formation. How can you guarantee that the inheritors will do their utmost to protect Tianchan?" Since they could not do anything about Wei Zhao, these people, with Zhong Yongliang at their head, had risen in inexplicable rebellion; he could only take a step back and discuss matters calmly with Wei Zhao. Otherwise, when the time came, none of them would be able to get onto Cloud Terrace Island.
It was only that Ancestor Xuanchen clearly had a better option, so why use an inferior one? Earlier, Tagan Long had been crippled, and he had no choice but to settle for the next best thing—but what about now? Tagan Long was perfectly fine, yet Wei Zhao had beaten him to death!
"Tianchan is not the only cultivator with the five attributes... As it happens, I am one too," Wei Zhao said lightly, circulating the mnemonic of his cultivation method and compressing a ball of true qi in his hand—not releasing it, but shifting it among the seven attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, mist, and ice!
"What?!" Ancestor Xuanchen could not help but stare wide-eyed. He had never imagined that Wei Zhao was also a five-element cultivator—and not merely five elements, but five elements and seven attributes! Even more formidable than Tagan Long's five elements and five attributes.
As for the other inheritors present, seeing that Wei Zhao was in fact also a five-element cultivator, they now beat the drums of retreat and dared not oppose him further. In any case, Wei Zhao could also serve as the opener to unlock Cloud Terrace Island—so who cared whether Tagan Long lived or died!
To them it was all the same; so long as the result was that they could ascend Cloud Terrace Island, that was enough.
"Good!" Ancestor Xuanchen was somewhat helpless. Though he did not wish to let the matter drop just like that, on reflection, Tagan Long's role had been nothing more than this one function—and Wei Zhao, as the opener, had all those inheritors as his girlfriends; would they not protect him with all their hearts? That being so, the odds of Cloud Terrace Island opening successfully were even greater—almost a hundred percent!
For if the inheritors gave their all and were willing to sacrifice themselves for others, there was no possibility that the opening of Cloud Terrace Island could fail.
The failures had all come from inheritors not giving their utmost.
"No wonder you're so arrogant—turns out you do have some capital after all." Libationer Nantian glanced at Wei Zhao and mocked him lightly. "But once you're on Cloud Terrace Island, five-element attributes will be of no use! For now, you can only be counted as laying foundations in the qi-refining stage; the real main event is foundation building! Only those who successfully build their foundation can be called true experts on the heavenly path and set foot upon the road of cultivation. As for you now—though you are cultivators, at bottom you are still mortals."
Wei Zhao smiled and said nothing. Foundation building, was it...
"Wei Zhao, are you willing to serve as the opener?" Ancestor Xuanchen asked.
"I can." Wei Zhao nodded.
"Good. Then it is settled. Libationer Nantian, please continue with the topic of the meeting just now!" Ancestor Xuanchen said.
"Very well! When Cloud Terrace Island is opened, I will personally guide you. When I say charge, everyone must rush madly into the entrance. If anyone is too slow to get through, don't blame me!" Libationer Nantian paused there, then said, "There is one last matter of great importance. When you go to Cloud Terrace Island, it would be best to have your relatives and friends see you off. Once you're on Cloud Terrace Island, if you want to come back—heh heh..."
"Could it be that once we go, we can never return to the secular world?" Wei Zhao asked, slightly alarmed.
