Omnipotent Overlord

Chapter 75: Wang Clan’s Eldest Son

Ten days later.

Wang Huan came holding a USB.

Du Xingsun was impassive. Not only he didnt demand it, but he even put the USB in in a lazy fashion. One look and even that enthusiasm fizzled out.

Teacher Sola again? Cant you get me something newer?

This is the most recent.

Recent? Do you have Takahashi, Yua, Miku or Akiho? You brought me Teacher Sola for the past four years. With your talent, you think you have what it takes to learn my divine Earth Escape Art?

Wang Huan was at a loss, Master, what does Teacher Sola have anything to do with talent and Earth Escape Art?

Everything! Sigh, you got such poor talent, go, go!

Ah, oh. Wang Huan left confused.

Bang!

Wang Huan thought long and hard on his way home. His mind got clearer suddenly and clapped in excitement.

So thats why!

Wang Huan ran to his wretched home, stuck his hands into the earth and pulled out his computer.

Master must be watching them every day all for the sake of cultivation. Then from today, I will watch 300, no, 3000 movies! At worst, Ill just fast forward.

While Wang Huan was determined to watch movies every day, in the Constricted Dragon Mountain world, Li Mo and Du Xingsun corroborate on the earth magical arts. 

Li Mo knew more than a hundred magical arts revolving around the five elements, fire, water, earth, wood, and metal. And most of them were stronger than Du Xingsuns Earth Escape Art. However, every magical art had a flaw. None of the dozen of earth attribute magical arts he had could be employed in an instant like Du Xingsuns.

Li Mos every earth attribute magical art relied on luck to successfully activate.

But regarding strength, Li Mo needed but pick one at random and it was guaranteed to be stronger than the Earth Escape Art.

Du Xingsun didnt put Li Mo in his eyes at first. He thought Li Mo came with an endless string of action movies to gain his favor, like Wang Huan, and learn his magical art.

Du Xingsun may look unassuming, but he was by no means simple. The leader of the parish he was disciple to was none other than Primeval Lord of Heaven, master of the 12 gold immortals, including Ji Liusun. In his capacity as the most eminent figure of the Enlightened Parish, he could fight Yang Jian, Nezha, and the 12 gold immortals together. Wouldnt such an outstanding figure be worthy of respect, of admiration? 

Once Li Mo got to explain earth attribute magical arts, his thinking changed. 

His disdain slowly moved to seriousness, doubt, then ultimately shock.

Y-you, hold on! Du Xingsun interrupted Li Mo.

You didnt come to learn my Earth Escape Art. Your knowledge of the earth element is far more profound than mine. So why are you here?

Didnt I tell you? I came to corroborate on the earth element arts.

Explain. Du Xingsun found it foreign.

Corroborating will help cover each of our flaws and improve.

I still dont understand.

Li Mo smiled, You dont need to understand. Put simply, it is an exchange. I will teach you these strong magical arts and you teach me Earth Escape Art.

I dont get you. Your earth arts are far stronger than mine. Why do you still want to learn it?

Li Mo smiled, The predecessors grow and the descendants reap. Why does the world have so many cultivation methods? Each Exalted in their generation used everything to spread their precious teachings. They get altered with every new descendant and improved until it becomes the incredible and inconceivable divine art of today.

Du Xingsun, you have the Earth Body. Even if you do not cultivate earth magical arts, you can still use them, but not to their full potential. You must understand, why do cultivation methods exist? To overcome those with special constitutions and talents.

I wish to gather millions of cultivation methods and form a complete, comprehensive, and perfect cultivation method.

Du Xingsun was dumbfounded.

Ha-ha!

Ha-ha!

Du Xingsun threw his head back and laughed.

Thats not a wish, thats a pipe dream! People have their path and demons theirs. As youve said. The worlds cultivation methods are improved with each generation. Almost every outstanding cultivation method is treated as the core of a sect. Think about it! Why would any of them give their treasured cultivation method to you, an outsider?

Li Mo smiled, Most of them do not need to give it to me.

Of the cultivation method of thousands of races he gathered in his past life, the number of those given willingly could be counted on two hands.

My Earth Escape Art is no secret because the conditions to cultivate it are strict. Only with the Earth Body can it be learned. Li Mo, your earth magical arts are stronger than mine. I am not the one losing here if you teach me, but you are.

Li Mo smiled, That remains to be seen.

Du Xingsun said, Wang Huans talent is even stronger than mine. A pity he was born in the wrong era.

Du Xingsun sighed and looked at Li Mo, And so are you.

He had long seen Li Mos stage. The spiritual qi in his body overflowed and spilled. This was the sign he had yet to step into the Spirit Driving Stage.

Du Xingsun recited Earth Escape Art to Li Mos riveted attention.

His Earth Escape Art had less than five thousand characters. Li Mo Listened once and was enough to remember it.

Du Xingsun gave him a thumbs up, Awesome! I needed master to teach me three years to memorize it.

Li Mo smiled, This is not because of my memory, but thanks to the Lucid Soul Art.

With the Lucid Soul Art, as long as the soul lingered, he would still remember it for millions of years to come.

The more cultivation methods I know, the better. Too bad that learning even more would be useless.

Du Xingsun was dejected. Li Mo, will you help me with something?

Speak.

Take care of Wang Huan. He is foolish, yet his heart is in the right place. His life is so tragic. Six years ago, he stumbled into this place. I began teaching him the Earth Escape Art. We are master-disciple, but not being able to help him left me with a heavy heart.

You know of Wang Huans situation?

Li Mo shook his head.

Wang Huans clan is strong, I know. What I mean is that in your world, Wang Huan is born of the main Wang clans, and is in fact the eldest son.

He isnt from a branch family?

What branch? He is a pure and bred Wang. But because of his ugly appearance, his parents ignored him. Not long after his birth, he was given to someone else to raise.

When he was ten, Wang Huan was brought into the Wang Estate. His mother looked at him once and left grim. His father was worse, throwing him out without even seeing him.

This wasnt the end, however. Wang Huans step-brother Wang Bao, is set on killing him. Wang Huans adoptive mother was poisoned by Wang Baos mother. It was his fortune that he didnt eat that night and escaped this disaster.

Later, Wang Huans father found out about this but did nothing against it. He only called the woman over to not do such a thing again. He then bought a house in a remote place where he placed his son, to let Wang Huan live the rest of his life there.

Wang Huan was 11 at the time.

When he was hungry, he ate fruits from the forest. Curses! How old was he? Is ugliness a crime?

Luckily, he is a natural genius, seeing the entrance and meeting me.

Du Xingsun was downcast.

Li Mo said, Helping him is no issue, as long as he isnt my enemy.

Dont worry. He will never become your enemy!
