Wang Wei was not the only one paying attention to this war. The entire world tuned in. Five Feathers' madness ant the war spread quickly and widely in just a few months. So, everyone watched and waited patiently.
Wang Wei sat cross-legged on so unknown dinsion that was surrounded by countless sealing arrays and a potent Heaven-Deceiving Array. A mirror floated before him as he watched the commander battle between the two sides.
On one side was Five Feathers' Five Phoenixes: White, Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green. Opposite them were Undead Phoenix's Five Undead Kings: Purple Zombie King, Gold Banshee Queen, Silver Evil Spirit Sovereign, Black Soul Sucking Tyrant, and the Iron Bone Dragon Monarch.
All these ten people were peak Empyrans, with a few even being Everlasting Empyreans, aning they were the peak power level in this war besides their leaders.
'Sothing is indeed wrong,' Wang Wei thought. He noticed that the Undead Kings used their pseudo-immortality (they can't die due to their connection with the Undead Phoenix) to fight like madn who did not care for their injuries. Additionally, as undead, they did not feel or know fear or pain in the first place.
'Undead Phoenix seems worried about Five Feathers' sudden change in how she did things, so he used his n to test her out,' Wang Wei analyzed. 'He wants to kill one of the color phoenixes as soon as possible to tip the top powerhouse battle on his side.'
If one of the phoenixes dies, one undead king will be free to slaughter the enemy's army or legion. By then, Five Feathers would have no choice but to find another way to stop the undead king or intervene herself.
'However, the phoenix seems to choose a more defensive way of fighting,' Wang Wei continued. 'It's almost as if they are stalling for ti. Are they waiting for backup? Or is Five Feathers planning sothing major?'
Wang Wei thought about it before sending orders to Red Mask. He wanted her to focus all her ti on finding Five Feathers' location. Then, Wang Wei changed the location of his dinsion — just in case.
His eyes then shifted to one of the phoenixes: White Phoenix. 'Years ago, I planted sothing on her to use as a chess piece. Should I activate it now?' Wang Wei hesitated. He put that mark on her a long ti ago, and he feared it may have been discovered.
'It's worth the risk,' Wang Wei thought. He still rembered the bad feeling he had about this war. Wang Wei observed White Phoenix and waited until the battle reached the most intense and activated the particle. He forcefully invaded her Sea of Consciousness, activating the restrictions placed on her soul and mories. Wang Wei did not care and destroyed the limits, leaving cracks all over her Sea of Consciousness. He then focused on gathering information from the last few months.
"Damn it, all of those are useless," Wang Wei thought as he hurriedly gathered as many mory pieces as possible until he found fragnts of what he wanted.
"Scholar…Treat Curse… Body of Sin."
Wang Wei felt he was so close to the truth, and a little bit more, he could see the entire picture. However, his rationale took over. He knew the consequences of letting greed dictate his actions. So, he stopped himself and eliminated the spirit particle before expeditiously changing the coordinates of his residing dinsions.
"Hmm? Why do I feel I just escaped a disaster?" Wang Wei muttered. He trusted his feelings, so he knew there must be a reason. He suddenly thought of sothing, so he sent a projection to the previous locale while changing his coordinate for the third ti.
What did he see? Nothing except an endless void. A terrifying power had annihilated the previous coordinate of his dinsion, leaving only an infinite void. The projection looked in the distance and saw Seven Cauldron floating above, looking at him indifferently.
"I see. It seems I have beco enough of a nuisance that you want to eradicate personally," Wang Wei chuckled. "I guess I should be proud."
"You lowly rat. Let's see how long you can hide," Seven Cauldron, no, Supre Unity said.
"Haven't you heard the saying? Good people die young, while terrible people live a thousand years. I'm a disaster, so I guarantee I'll leave long enough until I'm capable of ripping your spine from your body."
"Keep testing my patient and see what will happen," Supre Unity said calmly. "I can still overthrow this chessboard by killing everybody, including your sect and loved ones."
"Why don't you say these words to her?" Wang Wei's projection pointed to the east, and as expected, Feng Heng, with glowing golden eyes, showed himself. The two glanced at each other briefly before Supre Unity disappeared after snorting coldly.
Maitreya then focused on Wang Wei: "I know you're disappointed in with how weak my response has been to the current situation."
"Not really," Wang Wei said. At first, he did bla her, but as ti passed and he understood how scary transcendents are, he realized that he was only alive because Maitreya occupied Supre Unity's 99.9999% strength.
"There is an explanation for this," Maitreya continued, not elaborating whether she believed his words or not. "Firstly, I have to admit that I underestimated how much control he had over this world. In terms of scheming, I am indeed not as good as him."
Maitreya has long realized she had an antagonized fate with Taoism. All her greatest trials and tribulations originated from them.
"The real reason, though, is because I'm distracted," Maitreya continued. "I noticed an anomaly with our world's branch of the River of Ti and have been investigating."
"Is it an ergency?"
"Yes," Maitreya nodded. "My intuition tells that if I don't find the cause of the anomaly, sothing terrible will happen."
Wang Wei frowned: "When you say terrible, on what scale are you operating with?"
"I'm afraid that even soone only level will be affected, maybe even die."
Wang Wei's lips twitched. Fate seems to have forgotten that he was only a little Empyrean, so why was it given its problems on the level of transcendents? Could his life have been too smooth, and soone felt he needed more challenges?
"My ti is up," Maitreya said as she looked in the distance. "You need to keep an eye on Ti Eater — he's more dangerous than you realize."
"Is he responsible for the anomaly?" Wang Wei asked swiftly.
"No, but although there is no proof, I feel he is involved sohow," Maitreya said while sighing. She wanted to kill Ti Eater as soon as she felt the anomaly, but Supre Unity stopped her.
"Alright," Wang Wei nodded. The glow in Feng Heng's eyes disappeared, and he regained clarity. He looked at his surroundings until he saw Wang Wei. He bowed politely to the other before returning to the sect.
"What a ss," Wang Wei said as he opened his eyes after canceling the projection. He sighed and waited. He again contacted Red Mask, telling her to find Five Feathers as soon as possible. After the hint he found from White Phoenix's mories, Wang Wei had an inkling of what Five Feathers was going to do, and he hoped he was wrong. A few days later, he sent another projection because Red Mask contacted him.
"What did you find?"
"We discovered sothing in the Grand Nirvana World," Red Mask reported.
"Grand Nirvana World? If I rember correctly, it used to be called the Life Tree Domain and is also the largest area of Five Feathers' territory."
"That's right. There is an invisible energy barrier that prevents anyone from entering or leaving," Red Mask reported. "If Five Feathers is doing sothing, this must be the location."
"Can't you sneak in?"
"I'm sorry, but we've lost a few good agents while trying to," Red Mask reported.
"It's' fine," Wang Wei replied. He won't force his subordinate into an impossible mission. "Does Undead Phoenix know about this change?"
"I'll leak the news to him," Red Mask responded.
"Alright. Anything else to report?"
"Yes," she nodded. "Regarding those people who survived the hall's clean up. I've dealt with them."
Wang Wei was about to ask more when he suddenly thought of sothing: "You didn't do it personally, did you?"
"I know of the lord's current cautious nature, so I sent the Death Squads, and they were ordered to kill themselves after the mission was completed," Red Mask reported. She was connected to the lord, so Red Mask knew best not to interact with these people.
"Excellent," Wang Wei praised. "Frown now on, hide yourself, and do everything from the shadow. If a mission requires your level of strength, don't show up and use a vessel. I'll provide talismans with my powers. Make sure that the vessel uses the talisman before leaving for the mission. The last thing we want is for that thing to land on the wrong hand."
"As you wish."
"Alright, tell about these people."
