Chapter 749

== Heaven-seizer ==
In a secluded cave in the rear mountains of the Xuantian Dao Sect, the vice sect master was respectfully facing a screen of light. Within the screen was a person, but their figure was extremely indistinct, and it was impossible to tell if they were a man or a woman.
"Oh? A demon-class genius has appeared in our Eastern Wastelands' branch sect?" A voice came from the screen. The voice sounded extremely strange, and it even seemed similar to a spiritual fluctuation.
"Yes. Sect master (Ouyang Qiuyu), this person's name is Long Chen..." The vice sect master began to recount everything he knew about Long Chen.
At the same time, he also activated a few photographic jades. Of course, no one had dared to activate photographic jades during the trial, as that was just courting death.
A portion of their memories regarding the 999th stair had been erased. But Long Chen's triumph over the Four Heavenly Geniuses hadn't.
"To draw trash three times is truly inconceivable. It is definitely unprecedented!" said the figure on the screen.
"Furthermore, the final treasure was a Heavenly Water Pearl. It's useless to Long Chen, and useless to any of the people by his side. His luck is heaven-defying, so it makes me think of the legends..." The vice sect master shut his mouth here.
"It's fine. I've already arranged a heaven-deceiving grand formation here. You won't be noticed by the Heavenly Daos. You wish to say that he is a Divergent!" The strange voice was still completely calm without the slightest shock.
"Yes." The vice sect master nodded.
"There truly are a kind of inconceivably unlucky figures amongst Divergents. It seems they are called Heaven-Seizers (夺天者). They can't rely on luck to live, and have to rely entirely on gambling with their lives on the line to gain opportunities. Because they forcibly snatch those opportunities from the heavens, they are called Heaven-Seizers.
"But the legends say that these people are destined to be bloodthirsty devils who create mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Such figures can't have any friends or companions. Heaven-Seizers are surrounded by hatred, and any people by their side will fall. They are the bane of other people's existence, and so they are all solitary figures, which causes them to be so vicious and leave no room for compromise.
"As for Long Chen, he is similar to them, but there are also aspects where he is the opposite of them. It is still too early to say that he is a Heaven-Seizer!" said the strange voice.
"My meaning was... shouldn't we send Long Chen to the Central Plains? Leaving such a figure in our branch sect is a waste of talent. The Central Plains is the true playing field of geniuses," probed the vice sect master.
"You should be afraid of being implicated, correct?"
"I... Yes!" said the vice sect master awkwardly. He was thinking about the Xuantian Dao Sect. If Long Chen was a Heaven-Seizer, their branch sect would be completely overturned by him. Most likely, not even one of the Four Heavenly Geniuses would survive.
It would be better to send him to the head sect. There were countless geniuses there who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him. Furthermore, he would obtain the best grooming. That was the best place for Long Chen. Most importantly, this place would be safe.
The Four Heavenly Geniuses might have fought each other and been disharmonious before, but it had always been within a certain limit. However, Long Chen had only just arrived and they directly began a battle to the death. So the vice sect master was truly worried.
"Go. Everything will go according to fate. Don't interfere in such huge matters, because the gains won't make up for the losses. Let nature takes its course. Take the position of a spectator and you'll gain more," said the figure.
The vice sect master shook slightly. That last sentence was clearly telling him that he had been too strongly attached, to the point that he had lost himself in a maze. If he could escape that maze, then his mental realm would immediately leap to a new level.
"Many thanks for master's pointers!"
"Go."
After the vice sect master left the cave, the figure on the screen was silent for a moment before muttering, "Long Chen? Heaven-Seizer? Interesting. If I have a chance, I'll definitely test that little fellow!"

Long Chen and Tang Wan'er kiss. They are about to do it, but...
Tang Wan-er was red. Clenching her robes, she quietly said, "Sister Meng Qi, sister Chu Yao, and sister Ye Zhiqiu... We all agreed that only once we all marry can you... can we... do that..."Recall Ye Zhiqiu still has not yet returned
