Freedom Above All, Strength Supreme
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye. Although Wang Feng's level progress was very slow in the past six months, he had become very familiar with this place and his neighbors. He had completely integrated into the community.
That day, Wang Feng was meditating on the rooftop, gazing at the warm sun, when he noticed a person standing under a tree on the street, staring at him intently.
At first, Wang Feng didn't pay much attention, but he noticed that the person had been staring at him all morning and didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.
Wang Feng couldn't sit still any longer. He opened his eyes, stood up, and looked at the man. He first gave a slight bow, then cautiously asked, "Senior, is there something you need?"
The man smiled slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and said with a light laugh, "Young man, you don't seem to be a local! You look somewhat unfamiliar."
"I come from out of town, but have nowhere to go, so this is naturally my home."
"I see. Would you be so kind as to let me in to speak with you, young man?"
Wang Feng remained silent for a moment, but he did not sense any aura from this person. Although this person's strength was a level higher than his own, he was not without the ability to fight back.
"Please wait a moment, senior."
After thinking for a moment, Wang Feng opened the door and invited the person in.
"Please sit down, senior. May I ask how you are addressed?" Wang Feng said respectfully to the person in front of him.
"Young man, there's no need to address me like that. My Su Ke; you can just call me Elder Su. May I ask how I should address you, young man?"
"Su Ke! You are Bishop Su, one of the three bishops of the New Holy See." Wang Feng's face showed surprise. Over time, he had naturally come to know about the so-called New Holy See, the Flowing Moon Holy See. No one knew who the current leader of the New Holy See was, but everyone knew that the New Holy See was jointly led by three bishops.
"Young Wang Feng greets Bishop Su."
Wang Feng spoke again with utmost respect, this time from the bottom of his heart.
Having been here for so long, Bishop Su's name is not just widely known, but a figure worthy of reverence.
Su Ke helped Wang Feng up, waving his hand with a smile, "Sit down and let's talk! There's no need to be so formal. Now that we're in your territory, I'm no longer a bishop of the Flowing Moon Holy See."
Since Su Ke had already said that, Wang Feng didn't stand on ceremony and sat down opposite Su Ke.
"Bishop Su, is there something you need from me?" Wang Feng asked directly.
Su Ke was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "You're quite direct, kid. Fine! Since you asked, I won't beat around the bush. Wang Feng, I'm here because I hope you can join our Flowing Moon Holy See."
"Thank you for your kind offer, Bishop Su, but I have no intention of joining any organization at the moment, and I probably won't be staying here for very long."
Wang Feng refused decisively, without even thinking. He was already prepared to leave; his goal was to become a god, so his next step was to find the path to godhood.
Su Ke frowned slightly and said, "Don't you want to know what benefits joining the Flowing Moon Holy See can bring you? At your age, to have achieved what you have today, your talent goes without saying. But you should also understand that the further Soul Master cultivates, the harder it is to achieve higher levels."
"Does Bishop Su have some good method to quickly improve one's cultivation level?"
Wang Feng asked with some curiosity, but that was all he was asking.
After all, he knew very well that the overall strength of Soul Master was not high, whether under the jurisdiction of the New Holy See or Old Papal Court Vatican. So if Su Ke really had a way to improve cultivation, he probably would have already promoted it.
Su Ke smiled and suddenly raised his hand to set up a barrier, which surprised Wang Feng.
"Wang Feng, you should know that Soul Master who cultivates to Level 90 or above becomes Titled Douluo, and above that, Soul Master who reaches level Level 100 can become a god."
"I know about reaching Level 100 and becoming a god. But reaching the Titled Douluo is already difficult enough, let alone becoming a god."
What if I said I had a solution?
"What!"
Wang Feng was so shocked he was speechless, but he immediately realized he had lost his composure and chuckled, saying, "Bishop Su, please don't joke with me. Although I also hope to have the opportunity to break through to Level 100 and become a god, I know it's impossible."
"You haven't even tried, so how do you know it's impossible! Let me tell you the truth! Whether it's the New Holy See you see or hear about, it appears peaceful on the surface, but in reality, it's constantly embroiled in conflict."
"These things are rather complicated, so I won't go into detail. In short, if you trust me, although I can't guarantee that I can definitely help you reach Level 100 and become a god, I can guarantee that I will definitely let you know how to get to that point."
Looking at Su Ke's sincere and confident face, Wang Feng did indeed waver a little.
But he dared not agree easily, because he did not understand why Su Ke would give such an opportunity to a stranger he had just met.
"I'm sorry, Bishop Su, I still can't agree to that. After all, I'm not sure when I'll be leaving here."
"It's alright, no rush. Before you leave, if you ever want to join the Flowing Moon Holy See, just let me know. I always keep my word."
Su Ke didn't press further, instead readily getting up and walking out. But Su Ke stopped at the door, turning back to Wang Feng and saying, "Wang Feng, this place reveres freedom and is known as the City of Freedom, but you must understand this: wherever you are, strength reigns supreme."
After saying that, Su Ke left Wang Feng's room. Wang Feng watched Su Ke until he disappeared, still unable to figure out what Su Ke's intentions were in finding him.
In the days that followed, Wang Feng continued his daily cultivation, paying no attention to the affairs of the outside world.
However, he kept his departure in mind, and the day he would leave would be when he reached the next level.
Every so often thereafter, Su Ke would appear under the tree opposite Wang Feng, saying nothing and not even looking at Wang Feng, just sitting there quietly.
On the surface, Wang Feng appeared calm, but he remained vigilant and would leave immediately if anything seemed amiss.
A month passed in the blink of an eye, Wang Feng finally raised his Soul Power Level to Level 70.
However, Wang Feng did not choose to leave immediately, but continued his cultivation.
On one hand, he wanted to get his strength close to Level 71 before leaving to find a suitable Soul Ring, and on the other hand, he wanted to make some preparations during this time.
After all, his Sixth Soul Ring was already 100,000 years old, so his Seventh Soul Ring naturally couldn't be less than 100,000 years old.
On the other hand, he was also waiting. He hoped to find out the clues to becoming a god that Su Ke had mentioned, but he couldn't say it outright, so he waited.
