Chapter 617 603: Slandering Celestial Venerable Wen Ce with Malicious Rumors
"A new oath?"They were greatly moved.
"Indeed."
Fu Qingjun spoke eloquently, calmly saying, "With opposing sides, since there is an oath here, then on the material plane, the new seat rule will also have an oath. Acquiring the oath fragment seat allows us to influence ordinary fragment seat Saints and form alliances."
Upon hearing this, the two immediately shook their heads, "The material plane's oath is speculated to be the new ultimate universe's main character rule. Everyone is vying for it; how could it be so easily obtained? You make it sound too simple!"
"Furthermore, as of now, no one is quite sure what the material plane's oath rule is!"
"Everyone is still searching, and it may take time for the rule to continue merging, reaching higher purity. Perhaps when someone can grasp 50% or even more than 60%, only then might they discover it's the oath and can partially use its effects!"
Their words made sense, with a very clear logic.
Replying to them, what is the rule of immortality? It can be slowly sought after later, but if an alliance can't be formed, nothing else matters.
This is a prerequisite.
Frankly, the current number of Celestial Venerables in the universe is quite large, but those mastering 50% of a rule are few.
Only a few top groups of supreme Celestial Venerables can master around 30% of a particular rule.
If it weren't for their collective contributions, a perfect new Celestial Venerable seat of 100% could never naturally form solely by an individual.
The reason is simple,
because practically every Celestial Venerable group, big and small, possesses fragments of the forty-nine rules, some more, some less.
To collect 100%, you must defeat and conquer every group, which is extremely unrealistic under this situation. It only becomes 100% if they willingly contribute.
Moreover, with the opposing Amiro Celestial Court having the "Inner Ghost Emperor," willingly offering up its court's rules, both sides taking the initiative, all the universe's strong ones piecing together, only then does this 100% new seat's strongest emerge!
However, it's still the weakest seat.
Currently, the strongest is the 100% Primordial Longevity Celestial Venerable.
Some speculate that the next most complete is Celestial Venerable Wen Ce, who probably already has about 50% of a main rule.
Why?
This old cunning fox is exceptionally skilled!
He manipulates all the Celestial Venerable groups, being involved with multiple factions, cajoling gifts from them, making him the most prosperous!
After all, this is a cruel reality,
even doing all the hard work yourself, striving hard, can't get as much as this person who just says a few words and receives gifts as if everyone is family, driving luxury cars without a care—it's not on the same level.
Otherwise, how could everyone denounce him? Surround him?
Because he's taken too much!
Actually got 50%, can you believe it??
But they're not truly foolish; they have assessments too. 50% of the opposing rule seat is enough, and they're definitely holding onto some of the remaining seat fragments, resolutely not letting him have 100%.
These smart fools aren't entirely stupid.
"Are you saying you want to collect the new seat's oath to establish an alliance with us both? That's unrealistic!" The two looked at him incredulously, "It's unknown which rule it even is, and it's unobtainable!"
"Even if it were obtained, on the material plane and concept plane, rules would offset each other. Our new rule seat can negate the 'Old Oath,' so 'New Oath' will be negated by old rule seats too!"
Fu Qingjun shook his head, "That's not correct! We all know, if we simultaneously master both oaths from both sides, then we bind the Celestial Venerables on both sides, controlling one side, signing an alliance: preventing them from offsetting each other, then achieving cosmic unity, dual oaths reigning supreme!"
"As long as I obtain the new oath rule, I become the new rule Celestial Venerable, and Amiro, being my disciple, I have him bind the old Celestial Venerables. Thus, each of us unifies a side, isn't it equivalent to unifying the world?"
The two nodded, suddenly overjoyed, "This seems reasonable, re-establishing order and trust. The new protagonist must acquire both protagonist rules—oaths, to ascend as the new universe's Emperor, vying for the eighth tier..."
Fu Qingjun continued, "Then the new oath becomes the condition for me to establish an alliance with you both."
The two were stunned, involuntarily saying, "After all that talk, do you perhaps have a lead on the new oath?"
"Naturally, I do."
Fu Qingjun looked mysterious, furtively saying, "If I'm not mistaken, the new oath rule lies with Celestial Venerable Wen Ce!"
"What???"
The two faced each other in shock.
The new oath rule is with Celestial Venerable Wen Ce, and he's obtained the new protagonist rule, about to unify the world?
Fu Qingjun continued mysteriously, "Do you all recall, his rule is already 50%, already able to wield real power? Having 50% means he roughly knows what his rule specifically is!"
They were still puzzled, still feeling something was off.
Wen Ce knows what his rule is, but as an outsider, how could you know what his rule is?
He wouldn't tell you!
"Hush! Although he doesn't tell me, I've seen it; he holds the protagonist's oath."
Fu Qingjun continued, "Didn't you see him in the final battle, crazily swapping seats?"
"Of course we saw, it was utterly absurd, he claimed it was his own talents," Primordial Longevity murmured softly.
"This isn't talent, but the effect of the oath."
Fu Qingjun spoke seriously and nonsensically, after mingling in such a mixed environment as the dining hall for so long, he had amassed rich experience in gossiping,
"If I'm not mistaken, he's lured a few young Celestial Venerables within using the oath, having them stay hidden internally to provide him power!"
"You know that Celestial Venerable Wen Ce is very accustomed to this kind of amalgamation of tools, countless Celestial Venerable powers gathered together!"
"This explains why he can switch rules like that; it's because he has countless Celestial Venerables internally, alternately using their rules' power!"
"Thus, it appears he's frantically changing seats like transforming into a serpentine dragon!"
"Then, why does he trust the Celestial Venerables inside so much that they won't attack him? Because he signed an oath!"
"And you know, what kind of person is Celestial Venerable Wen Ce? The old Oath Celestial Venerable, most familiar with oaths, how is it outrageous for him to find a new rule oath? It's completely reasonable!"
There's some reasoning there,
Primordial Longevity and Undying, listening, suddenly exploded.
That old sly dog Wen Ce, took the oath??
So they just missed the greatest opportunity?
Earlier, Celestial Venerable Wen Ce seemed he was going to form an oath with them, holding the oath is being the new protagonist, and they missed the chance to follow the new protagonist!
They were terribly grieved, looking at Fu Qingjun with a face full of resentment!!
You're one deceitful State Preceptor,
Your two disciples played us, but weren't done playing, then you, the master, roll up your sleeves, personally coming to keep playing us?
They coughed up metaphorical old blood!
You three master and disciples are no good.
They both almost immediately wanted to return to find Celestial Venerable Wen Ce,
But were stopped by Fu Qingjun's ethereal call, "If you go and pledge to him, I'll announce to the world, that Celestial Venerable Wen Ce holds the oath, and you following him, wait to be hunted across the whole universe, alright?"
The two instantly went rigid.
Threats, more threats!
You're too shameless.
"Elder, can't I call you elder?" Primordial Longevity Venerable forced a smile, "Just say outright what you want to do, plainly and simply, don't do this anymore."
"What I want to do is quite simple."
Fu Qingjun spoke with a serious expression, "I suspect Celestial Venerable Wen Ce has the protagonist's rule oath! Such a decayed person, how can he become the main protagonist? The next Cosmic Emperor?"
"So, I intercept your allegiance to him, to prevent his power from growing madly! Then I'll have you join forces with me, and together we will slay Celestial Venerable Wen Ce, seizing his protagonist rule—oath."
Fu Qingjun spoke with an earnest and upright tone, "Once we have the oath, then we discuss dividing the spoils; anyway, the universe's protagonist emerging from the hands of us three is very probable. Do we go for it?"
"Go for it, go for it," they hastily replied.
After all, if they pledged allegiance to Celestial Venerable Wen Ce, it would be exposed, leaving them no choice but to fight him instead.
Involuntarily, Primordial Longevity Venerable teared up again, "Celestial Venerable Wen Ce, is an old friend of ours, with much past love and hatred, but for the great righteousness of the world, we still have to kill him."
Again displaying his traditional skill of choosing sides.
