Chapter 582: Find Your Uncle

Lan and Xue Wei were the ones who understood the depth of the mastermind the clearest.

Although the others also found it frightening that someone had managed to plan for so many years in advance, they did not understand what it meant that the person in the shadows had picked Xue Wei instead of his mother.

To them, Xue Wei was already an impressive figure. His ident.i.ty could bring out miracles, and his bloodline was sacred.

However, they had forgotten that the reason he could bring forth miracles were due to his mixed heritage, and that this mixed heritage was also the reason for his bloodline to become less pure and weaker than that of his mother.

"How strong does one have to begin understanding these daos?"

Xue Wei was aware that he still had a distance before he could reach the realms of immortals and become a deity, but if he could gain a certain understanding of these daos, maybe he would be able to control his fate better than now, when everything seemed to be in the hands of an unknown enemy.

Lan could guess his thoughts, but certain things could not be forced.

"You will not be able to sense the dao before you become a deity. Although there might be some influence on your life due to the various daos, these will never take the time to let you comprehend their secrets before you become a deity.

"Also, your soul and body will not be able to contain the energy that will merge into you when you fully understand the dao and merge with it."

Xue Wei felt somewhat regretful, but he could only nod his head helplessly.

Although he had merely kept a small hope, it seemed that he had to look for other methods to improve his survivability.

Lan understood Xue Wei's worries, but when thinking about how things were currently looking, he did not know how he should act to lure out the hidden enemy.

"Well, for now, this person has no intention to kill you. Since we cannot lure him out right now, then we might as well keep going ahead with his plans and wait to see what his purpose is."

Xue Wei lowered his head and no one could see what he was thinking. His eyes were hidden in the shadows, but he seemed to be considering the possibility of Lan's words.

After considering the current situation they were in, Xue Wei raised his head once more, and the eyes which had been showing a tinge of uncertainty before had become completely firm.

"Since we can't do anything to this person for now, then let us wait and see what his purpose is. I do not believe that he has chosen me randomly, there has to be some sort of enmity, so he will show up at some point."

Xue Wei had no doubt that the one in the shadows was an enemy. Anyone who wished to help would not act this way, so there was no other possibility than to want his suffering.

Lan and Xue Wei had decided to use themselves as bait to lure out the mastermind, but while this was the most suitable way for the both of them, they also knew that a lot of danger was connected to this path.

Xue Wei was not eager to die, but he was not willing to cower in the face of danger either. Now that he understood that his future was planned by someone else, he could only face this path that had been prepared for him, and try to find a way to break out.

Danger and opportunity co-existed, so Xue Wei did not despair. He knew that what he was going to face would be challenging and dangerous, but he was ready to fight for his survival.

"That uncle of yours, is he still in this world?"

Xue Wei could not help but have a flash of inspiration after thinking about the man named Hui Yue whom he had previously encountered.

Although Lan was incapable of breaking the seal on his own, perhaps this expert would have a way to unravel his seal.

If Lan could return to his previous strength, their situation would be much safer than it was now.

Lan did not answer right away, instead he closed his eyes and began to connect with the world. He searched the whole area, and soon he found that Hui Yue was indeed still within the world, but he was not in a hurry to locate them.

Before they left for the Ghost Realm, Hui Yue had been very eager to locate Lan, and try to convince him to return to their old world together, so that he could reunite with his family, but the Overlord did not seem to be eager to follow his previous plans for now.

Although Lan could sense the location of Hui Yue, which happened to be the Chang'an Continent, he could not see what he was doing there.

Lan had lived on that continent for many thousands of years, and Xue Wei was also born there. To the two of them, this continent held a special meaning, but he did not know why Hui Yue had decided to stay there.

"Well, then you should go and visit your uncle. See if he is capable of unraveling the seal on your power, and while you are on the Chang'an Continent, see if you can find my uncle to see what kind of information he can provide that might bring a bit of a.s.sistance to our current situation."

Lan contemplated for a short while. Currently, Xue Wei should not be in danger for his life. At least, the one behind the scenes should not be aiming for his life for now, and the ordinary dangers that he might encounter should not be able to threaten him too much, so Lan could leave without too many worries.
