NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1184: Bottleneck Period
Wang Ye, what's wrong with him again?
During this period, Wang Ye has either been cultivating or assisting with the Sorcerer's Guild matters, and now he's gone into seclusion, aiming to achieve something on the path of the magician.
Moreover, every time Wang Ye returns to the Ice Sect, he always informs Su Guimei.
"Sect Master."
Lin Shuang, feeling a bit dissatisfied, spoke to Su Guimei: "Wang Ye hasn't committed any mistakes during this period, has he?"
Although Su Guimei is the Sect Master, due to her personality, Lin Shuang never felt the strict superior-subordinate relationship between a sect's Saintess and Sect Master when interacting with Su Guimei.
"He's wasting his time on the path of the magician, which itself is a mistake!"
Su Guimei spoke firmly: "I wanted to say this from the start, but I thought Wang Ye understood priorities and wouldn't waste too much time on this matter."
"But unexpectedly, after being elected as the head of the Sorcerer's Headquarters, Wang Ye came back and continued to be busy with magician-related issues."
Although Su Guimei always felt Wang Ye was a scoundrel, it's undeniable that Wang Ye's talent in cultivation was quite remarkable, so she paid attention to what Wang Ye was dealing with recently.
"Lin Shuang."
Su Guimei sighed, facing Lin Shuang's gaze. Only now did Su Guimei appear like a senior, earnestly speaking to Lin Shuang:
"I know Wang Ye has his own ideas for doing these things, and I can see that he's very serious about it."
"But being a magician is ultimately just a way of opportunism. Back in the day at Tanggu Mountain, the magicians developed gloriously, but so what?"
"A sect hadn't even deployed its top forces, just some disciples went and resolved everything in Tanggu Mountain."
"The magician's path relies entirely on external objects, which essentially is useless. True power comes from one's own strength. Wang Ye is now already at the First Grade Peak Cultivator realm."
Su Guimei was a figure from a million years ago when Tanggu Mountain was destroyed by a sect, deeply moved by the situation back then, hence she genuinely believed that magicians were employing crafty means.
Seeing Su Guimei so sincere, Lin Shuang also realized Su Guimei was genuinely concerned for Wang Ye. The dissatisfaction on her face quickly faded away.
"If it were any other time, Wang Ye doing this wouldn't be a big deal. But you know, Wang Ye needs to protect Earth Star. We never know when Earth Star might face danger, and recently I've sensed some anomalies."
After speaking, Su Guimei glanced around worriedly.
Because the sky canopy between Spirit Star and Earth Star isn't very noticeable, and Su Guimei hadn't examined it closely, she only sensed that something might be wrong, but wasn't very clear about the specifics.
"So, what I mean is that when Wang Ye comes out this time, you should tell him to first enhance his level on the path of cultivation. With Wang Ye's potential, he can soon advance to half-step into Fusion Realm."
"Alright."
Lin Shuang contemplated for a while and nodded in agreement.
Indeed, as Su Guimei said.
The magician's path offers limited improvement to strength.
What Wang Ye needs is his own strong power and allies with formidable strength.
Lin Shuang knew that Wang Ye had been in seclusion recently to make some achievements and gain recognition from the individuals involved in the magician's path.
But.
Even if all people in the Sorcerer's Guild truly acknowledged Wang Ye, what's the use?
A group of magicians has very limited combat power.
When Earth Star really needs help, how much can the Sorcerer's Guild contribute?
Currently, Wang Ye is in seclusion, and it's not appropriate for Lin Shuang to drag him out of it abruptly.
...
This time, Wang Ye was in seclusion for a full half a month.
Boundless Realm.
Shi Heng and Shadow observed the place where Wang Ye was in seclusion in the Ice Sect.
They were in the sky, looking down from above, with a clear view.
So they could clearly see the sky canopy between Earth Star and Spirit Star, forming a spider-web pattern and slowly shattering.
"The other side, Earth Star, should be the place Wang Ye wants to protect, right? It's also the place where the Lord of the Universe descends." Shadow glanced toward Earth Star and asked Shi Heng beside him.
"Yes."
Shi Heng responded, showing a solemn expression on his face.
That was the place where his disciple was previously.
And as they observed from above, both Shi Heng and Shadow knew that Wang Ye's plan was to protect Earth Star.
"In those days, when the Lord of the Universe encountered danger on Earth Star, he also set everything aside and prepared to protect Earth Star. However, during the protection, the Lord disappeared, fortunately leaving behind his wife Lei Linger, who was previously a Sect Master in the Ice Sect."
Shi Heng and Shadow both lived through that era, so they are clearly aware of that piece of history.
Even so, Shadow still narrated it like a story, recounting what happened back then.
"So, if the Lord of the Universe were still around and knew that Earth Star would face danger next, he would probably also try to ensure Earth Star's safety."
Shadow's words made Shi Heng instantly focus on him, asking, "Do you mean you want to help Wang Ye?"
Shi Heng was solemn because if Wang Ye really encountered a problem, as his mentor, Shi Heng would certainly help Wang Ye solve it.
But if Shadow was unwilling.
There would definitely be conflict between him and Shadow.
So, if there were conflicts, it would mean a lot of delays.
Shi Heng did not want to be influenced.
"Yes." Shadow nodded, "Helping Wang Ye is helping Earth Star, which is helping the Lord of the Universe."
"You're truly loyal to the Lord of the Universe."
Shi Heng teased.
This time, Shadow fell silent.
The Lord of the Universe, Guo Yi, was the one who led them to rise and break through the dark days of their era.
From a certain perspective, the Lord of the Universe was the faith in people's hearts during their era.
Although Shi Heng also lived through their era, he cannot be considered a person of that time, so it's normal for Shi Heng not to understand or empathize with this.
"He's hit a bottleneck."
Shadow looked at Wang Ye and spoke to Shi Heng beside him.
