17 Emo phase? No problem

Say what you want about having 3 powerful experts engraving their powers to protect you. There is no denying that things will get awkward for Ben Li once he dives into his mindscape again.

Although it seems they haven't suspected that Wang Xie was no longer himself anymore, it was only a matter of time before they found out that a Transmigrator had hijacked his body.

When they do find out, how was he going to explain? Definitely, he couldn't possibly convey that he is the God who wrote this world. That will make things more awkward.

Ben Li wanted to reject their 'kindness', but considering how much they deemed Kun Gu as an actual threat judging from their reactions, perhaps it was best to rely on this protection of theirs to ease his burdens.

Sadly, for him though, getting poisoned will have to be avoided if he wants to continue his confidential activities. That means he'll have to cancel some plans regarding poison.

He just hopes that Lu Qing does understand when he comes explaining this to her.

"Looks like this meeting of ours has come to a close." said Wang Liu looking exasperated. "I hereby vote to dismissed this meeting here now. All those who agree say 'Ay.'"

""Ay!""

"The majority vote states it's agreement. Gentlemen, this meeting is now dismissed."

Everyone stood up and did a formal bow with clasped hands before each other. This was type of formalities was always mandatory at the end of all meetings. And anyone who didn't bow meant they bore some dissatisfaction with the meeting. And since everyone in the room bowed, it meant none had any dissatisfactions to discuss or they just want to get out of here ASAP.

Sect leader was the first to leave. After bidding goodbye, he warped out with teleportation skill he possessed as a Holy Saint Realm Cultivator. Leaving only Ben Li and Wang Liu in the room alone.

Both men looked each other in the eye. His black pearly eyes before his crimson red eyes. They said nothing as seconds passed until Wang Liu opened his mouth to speak.

"Wang Xie, have you ever noticed the crimson in your pupils?"

"Crimson?" Ben Li asked back. Looking perplexed as he acted.

Of course, he knew that his black eyes had gone crimson. Lu Qing mentioned this to him days before and when he asked her if he looked menacing, she said no and it looked cool instead.

After knocking her silly head, Ben Li had tried many ways to revert his eye color back to no avail. Making his heart worried if people where to start discriminating his new appearance.

Actually, rather than calling it discrimination, it would be apt to say that they would pity or mock him for bearing such tainted eyes.

Because normally, having crimson eyes means you had come to encounter a heavy psychological trauma that affected your soul.

There're actually many meanings when such people bear crimson eyes.

One such people are those who cultivated Demonic arts that were unfit for their own constitution.

Demonic arts are fundamentally tailored for Demons or any individual people who had Demonic blood from birth. And if any person who didn't bear such Demonic traits were to cultivate Demonic arts would experience a backlash of traumas whether physically or psychologically where the soul will be tainted black from the foulness of the Demonic aura.

Another example would be people who had experienced downfall from grace and had depraved due to psychological traumas.

But to bear such eyes, one will have to experience conditions that were too heavy for the heart. Like losing a loved one or bearing an unquestionable hatred.

Xingjian was one example of a person with a heavy psychological trauma.

His one and only eye was crimson red that indicated his heavy heart after losing everything he ever loved including his own disciple. His experiences had resulted in having his pure soul tainted black and left him extremely insecure to achieve back to his Holy Saint realm cultivation. Leaving him stuck in Power Core realm for dozens of years.

Another example would be people who are actually possessed by another soul or an evil spirit.

In the many Laws of Samsara, one such law stated that one soul shall have one body each cycle and return to the dead to be reborn once again.

Meaning, you can only have one body per life.

Thus, if another soul where to attempt on possessing another person's body that didn't belong to him, then the soul will experience a heavy backlash resulting in being caught in Yin flames. Burning the soul to ashes.

However, if the soul were to be successful on possessing the body, then the soul will be tainted in black in their pool of irreversible sin.

Chao Long, the evil spirit who had attempted to possess Ben Li back then, also possessed the crimson eyes. Indicating that he had his soul tainted through the forceful process of possessing the body that didn't corresponded with him correctly.

Ben Li's case was actually the 1st example. He cultivated The Ten Commandments of The Demonic Hades Imperial Gospel resulting in the evolving of his Soul to a higher existence.

But rather than tempering and grinding his willpower and soul just as what cultivating the 1st commandment should have resulted; causing his Soul to transform into some omniscient turtle that can see through his shell layers like glass yet his shell keeps him protected from ultraviolet Cosmic Changes that will kill his Soul in an instant.

But even though his Soul had transformed, it doesn't change the fact that he had cultivated a Demonic art for tempering the mind and soul and resulted in his soul getting engraved by Demonic runes from the 1st commandment.

Thus, his eyes went crimson and there was probably no way to revert it.

It couldn't be helped that Wang Liu was concerned with his son's new appearance. After all, what would others think when they see his genius of a son actually bearing a heavy psychological trauma?

People will probably start doubting his future prospects to becoming a Heavenly Pillar of this generation. They would think that his son was growing insecure of his potential and no organization will probably invest their resources on him and will suffer many setbacks that will cut his wings from him.

After all, psychological traumas are pretty much what hinders a cultivator from breaking out of his bottleneck.

Now that he saw his son having such issues, it was his duty as father to console him back his confidence and guide him to the right path. Or else if he can't overcome his traumas sooner or later, it might birth the Devil in his heart. Turning him into a mad man.

He didn't suspect his son was cultivating a Demonic art or was possibly possessed by an evil spirit because no one suspected him after scanning him with their Spiritual Awareness.

He knew very well that cultivating Demonic arts will result in the cultivator reeking in Demonic aura and Ben Li was clean without a speck of Demonic taint in his spirit.

And he also didn't suspect that his son was possessed because look where they are now. Ben Li was in the middle of the Helios Dragon sect that was permeating Draconian essence which evil spirits greatly abhorred for its strong Yang properties.

So, Wang Liu concluded that his son was psychologically traumatized by his loss against Ling Xiufeng. A person that his son had deemed a nobody who defeated him brutally through his own strength of 9 Gates alone.

Having suffered such setbacks in public notice, his son's arrogance must have crushed his confidence to have experienced his first loss against a nobody.

Wang Liu's face remained devoid of emotions. Yet, his eyes flickered constantly in calculations.

In his mind, he was computing many possibilities using the current results seen as his means to predict certain outcomes.

Eventually, he had come to a decisive conclusion after many deductions. His eyes remained on his son as he chuckled in his heart how simple the solution actually was.
