Chapter 128 Ominous Forewarning

Actually, the old beggar was feeling conflicted when he asked Lin Lei to be his master.

However, the reason he was feeling conflicted was different from Bud and the other.

It wasn’t because Lin Lei was younger than him that he couldn’t bring himself to acknowledge him as his master.

After all, after Lin Lei had given him the stellar fruit, he had promised to voluntarily become his servant.

Compared to his status as a servant, his status as a disciple was actually higher.

Thus, the old beggar wasn’t worried about this.

This was the reason he was worried:

After the two of them left, he would stay behind. In the future, if he was unable to learn any Mystic Abilities after taking Lin Lei as his master, wouldn’t he become a laughingstock for the two of them?

Due to this, Wharton hesitated for a long time.

However, in the end, he came to his senses and decided to take Lin Lei as his master.

There was no other reason than his intuition

He believed that Lin Lei was someone who could create miracles.

“Wharton, get up quickly. There’s no need for such formality…”

Lin Lei hurriedly helped him up.

Wharton, after all, was an old Senior who had lived for more than a hundred years. Lin Lei still respected him very much.

And because the system had automatically recognized Wharton as his disciple, Lin Lei now understood:

The other party was truly sincere in taking him as his master.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been acknowledged by the system.

But now, seeing that he had a second disciple, Lin Lei didn’t waste any more time. He immediately had Ella put away the Freezing Spell, then led the two of them to an empty space outside the room.

There, he decided to teach the two of them a new Mystic Ability.

“Watch carefully. This time, I’m going to teach you the Mystic Ability: Fiery Eye!”

After speaking, Lin Lei’s mageforce exploded.

He didn’t talk much and immediately began to personally demonstrate this Mystic Ability.

And this Mystic Ability was the ten times reward the system had given Lin Lei after Ella had trained the Eye of Inspection.

“Swoosh!”

A burst of dazzling golden light appeared in Lin Lei’s eyes.

Seeing this, Wharton and Ella immediately focused their attention and began to watch carefully…

…

A few minutes later, Lin Lei demonstrated all of the various abilities of the Fiery Eye, and withdrew his mageforce.

“Now, it’s up to you to comprehend it.”

Lin Lei smiled as he spoke, then left with his hands behind his back.

Still, he didn’t say anything.

This was because both Ella and Wharton were currently immersed in their memories of the Fiery Eye.

Not disturbing them was the best way to help them in their training…

Lin Lei quietly left…

…

With a few leaps and bounds, Lin Lei fled into the distance.

He didn’t return to the courtyard where he lived. Instead, he arrived at a mountain peak that was closest to the Li Fire Sect.

Standing at the peak of the mountain, Lin Lei could clearly see the full moon hanging high in the sky, as well as the mageforce surging in the horizon.

Under the night sky, the land seemed so quiet and peaceful.

Everything was so quiet and peaceful.

However, Lin Lei knew that hidden beneath this calm was a surging undercurrent of danger…

That’s right.

Ordinary people might not be able to tell, but Lin Lei, as the Eastern Emperor of the easternmost region, could clearly sense that the entire easternmost region was about to undergo a major change!

The major change came from the North and the South.

To be more precise, it came from the northernmost and the southernmost.

Lin Lei stood at the peak of the mountain, his eyes closed as he quietly sensed the natural mageforce swirling around him.

The cold of the North, the heat of the South.

Two lumps of turbulent mageforce, like ice and fire, constantly burned the East.

As…

At this moment..

Lin Lei was the East, the East was Lin Lei.

Therefore, Linley could clearly sense the terrifying auras of the South and the North, as long as they invaded even the slightest bit of the easternmost region.

“There was going to be a big change…”

“The North, and the South…”

“An expert is coming…”

Lin Lei opened his eyes, staring towards the South and the North…

This was what his instinct as the Eastern Emperor had told him.

It couldn’t be wrong.

And, more precisely, what he had sensed:

Masters from the North and the South…

More than one…

And the mageforce aura was terrible…

Even the one with the least aura was the Great Sage of the first rank…

“We must improve our strength as soon as possible…”

“And, to raise more high-rank experts…”

“Easternmost region is in danger this time…”

Lin Lei mentally calculated.

Under the moonlight, the shadow of his back stood atop the mountain, unmoving for a long time.

He had thought that after advancing to the level of the Great Sage, he would no longer be in such a rush to advance.

But he hadn’t expected that he would feel the cold at the top of the mountain.

An even greater challenge and danger had once more appeared.

In addition, because he had advanced to the level of the Great Sage, Lin Lei could clearly sense…

The Great Sage wasn’t the highest level of battle-power in this world of magic.

That’s right. Above the Great Sage, there should be even higher levels of battle-power!

Lin Lei silently thought to himself.

When he had first arrived in this world, he had heard from countless people that in the easternmost region, it had been over a century since an expert at the level of the Great Sage had appeared,

The last Great Sage was the ninth of the ten shadow lords of the previous Emperor: Babada.

Subsequently, 120 years ago, Lord Babada died.

The legacy of the Great Sage of the easternmost region had since been severed, and the entire easternmost region no longer had any experts at the level of the Great Sage.

And it was precisely because he had heard this legend that Lin Lei had subconsciously believed…

That the Great Sage was the most powerful expert of this world.

But now, when he became the Great Sage, he discovered that it wasn’t the case.

This was because, as the Great Sage, and as the Eastern Emperor, Lin Lei had discovered that the current him was able to begin sensing the aura of the experts of the world.

This feeling was extremely marvelous.

In short, Lin Lei felt as though he was able to peer into a corner of the world.

He could sense the aura of all the experts of the world.

And this intuition which came from the Great Sage told him that there were many more experts in the world who were way much more powerful than him.

They were scattered throughout the northernmost region, the southernmost region, and the westernmost region.

Except the easternmost region.

As for why there was none in easternmost region…

Lin Lei didn’t know.

Most likely, this had something to do with the previous Eastern Emperor.

But this wasn’t what he was most concerned about right now.

What worried Lin Lei the most right now was:

Why had the northernmost region and the southernmost region sent people here?

What was their purpose?

Based on what I could sense, the northernmost region and the southernmost region had abundant mageforce, as well as experts.

However right now, in the easternmost region, I was the only Great Sage…

If they knew that the East was so weak, I was afraid … It wouldn’t be a good thing…

Lin Lei couldn’t help but worry.

Before he transmigrated, his experiences on the Blue Planet had told him:

A weak country had no diplomacy.

Given the enormous difference in power, if his side was too weak, it definitely wouldn’t be a good thing.

“In addition…”

Thinking up to this point, Lin Lei turned his gaze to the Central Plain, a hint of complexity in his eyes,

“Previously, I killed the Seventh Prince in the mystic realm, as well as a Great Sage of the Molmo Empire… the other side definitely won’t let this matter rest.”

“In addition, I heard that the Molmo Empire… has a high-ranked Great Sage within it.”

“I wonder if they will take this opportunity to launch an attack as well…”

Thinking up to this point, Lin Lei’s brows were tightly furrowed.

The situation wasn’t looking good.

Powerful enemies were surrounding him…

Unknowingly, he had been attacked from both sides…
