Wang Wei's seclusion was not inside his Fate Trenscensing Mountain or the sect master's Tianwei Peak. He entered a small World called Dao Tree Secret Realm.
As soon as he entered, he saw a gigantic forest with countless trees shining with Dao Lights, Rhymes, and even Dao Sounds. The size of this small world was on par with the best Great Thousand World, but there were only these trees.
Wang Wei looked at this forest and could not help sighing.
Every time the sect's Quasi-Emperor, Supreme, Saint, and Void Shattering Realm reached the end of their lifespan or were about to die for some unknown reasons, they had two options:
First, seal themselves in Blood Stone and wake up to serve the sect during a catastrophe. Secondly, use a secret technique to remove their Law Altar and Dao Tree and leave it in this secret realm to serve as the sect's foundation.
So, generation after generation, this secret realm slowly developed before reaching this stage; it has become a manifestation of the Dao Opening Sect's foundation.
Secret realms like this are the difference between ancient and new sects like the Emperor Enlightening Academy. Although they have the second number of Great Emperors, their existence is not nearly as long to have such a secret realm.
Wang Wei waved his hand to manifest a cushion floating in the air. He sat down, and a Time Formation appeared around him. He deployed his 365 [Future Buddha Self] and trillion Spirit Particles before closing his eyes to cultivate.
Immediately, the trees in the secret realm began to sway back and forth as their Dao Rhymes activated. Wang Wei then found his mind extremely clear; the Laws of Heaven and Earth became easier to understand.
Additionally, the Law comprehension of the trees' owners allowed him to learn by comparison.
However, Wang Wei did not stop there. Once in a while, a book will manifest before him, and he will comprehend them. His Fate Shadow Guard has already infiltrated most of the Emperor Lineages of the world, allowing them to access their Emperor Scripture.
Although these scriptures did not contain the Dao Rhyme of the Originals, he did not mind since his monstrous comprehension allowed him to still understand them. Of course, he did not cultivate all of them.
Instead, he learned of the Dao contained in these scriptures and gathered their essence to strengthen his foundation. And once he found a Dao that was interesting or related to his Fate Dao, he would comprehend and integrate them into his Transcending Fate Sutra.
Finally, Wang Wei began his journey of comprehending the [Fate of Myriad Dao.] He had this idea long ago to use his Fate Dao to control all other Dao, thus achieving the same effect as Greater Chaos Dao.
Time became irrelevant to Wang Wei as he continued his journey of the Dao. His Dao Fruit grew with the growth of his cultivation realm. Simultaneously, his Dharma Body also developed.
Wang Wei did not know how tall it was, but it was enormous. From ancient to modern times, few people could compare to him in the size of their Dharma Body.
After an unknown amount of time, Wang Wei felt he had reached the peak of the Supreme Realm. However, he did not immediately breakthrough. Instead, he used a secret technique to call a few Dao Tribulations to temper his Dao Fruits further. Once he felt he had reached the peak, he proceeded to the next step. His only complaint was that his Dao Tree was still Silver–even though he knew this was inevitable.
During Gu Xuan's trial, he learned about the Emperor Dao World's cultivation system and had an idea of how to make his Supreme Realm unique. Now, he finally reached the stage to accomplish his plan.
In the eighth realm of that cultivation system, the cultivators condense an Incarnation of Self from their Fruits of Laws before fusing with it in the next realm. The Fruit of Law is similar to the Dao Fruit of the Origin System, so he wanted to copy their methods.
Wang Wei's Primordial Spirit separated a few Spirit Particles to fuse with the different Dao Fruits in the Dao Tree. Using the cultivation method of the Emperor Dao World's system, he refined his Primordial Spirit into his Incarnation of Self.
Dang!
A weird wave spread from the Dao Tree throughout Wang Wei's Sea of Consciousness. Because of that wave, he felt his Primordial Spirit was purified by a small amount; he knew if it were not for the abnormal level of his soul, the purification process would be a baptism that drastically increased his strength and power.
'I should add this Incarnation of Self Method into the new Origin System when I update it,' thought Wang Wei before focusing on the actual changes in his body.
The purpose of the Incarnation of Self is to allow cultivators to have a sublime level of control of the Laws of Heaven and Earth. And his method also worked the same for him.
Wang Wei suddenly gathered the power of his other Incarnations to properly feel the changes in his body.
'I've reached Half-Step into the Emperor Control.'
He initially divided his Force Control Skill into five levels: Full Control, Master Control, Grandmaster Control, Pinnacle Control, and Heavenly Dao Control. However, as he cultivated this technique, he realized Pinnacle Control was too broad, so he further divided the level after Grandmaster Control into more stages:
Mortal Pinnacle, Immortal Control, Dao Control, Emperor Control, and Heavenly Dao Control. Previously, he had only reached Dao Control, but now he had stepped into Emperor Control.
'The only reason I cannot reach that level is my lack of strength or cultivation realm,' thought Wang Wei. 'However, I should reach complete Emperor Control once I achieve the 10 Extremeity Foundation and acquire Great Emperor-level strength.'
During the Clean-up, he had taken a glance at an even higher level: Heavenly Dao Control, allowing him to establish a foundation for the future. But now, he no longer had to take time to reach Emperor Control once he proved the Dao–he could directly focus on achieving Heavenly Dao Control.
Wang Wei exhaled deeply as he muttered, "This is the result of combining different civilizations; cultivators should take more advantage of different cultivation systems."
He understood only some were talented enough to combine two different cultivation systems into something better. However, cultivators would greatly benefit by simply opening their minds and learning from other systems. They should exchange and communicate more.
'The Myriad Emperor World made the wrong decision by shutting themselves off from the Endless Void; this act greatly regressed their civilization and prevented any further development.'
Wang Wei pondered these things briefly before focusing on his cultivation. He checked his Duyi Realm; as expected, it further evolved after making his Supreme Realm unique. Although it had changed after his Dharma Body broke the limit of 1.269 trillion meters, he felt it was not the same.
'A more mighty Duyi Realm equals a stronger Dao Will. So, that's good news for me.'
Wang Wei then focused on breaking through into the Quasi-Emperor Realm. Cultivators fused their bodies with the Dharma Body in this stage, achieving a pseudo-Dao Body or Emperor Body.
The size of the Dharma Body is usually the actual body of any Quasi-Emperor. However, because of psychology, and the environment, 99% will shrink their bodies to regular human sizes and only use their real body during high-intensity battles.
'However, I am different.'
Wang Wei chose the reverse way: he shrunk his Dharma to be the same size as his body before fusing.
'The result of this method should be a more condensed and powerful Dao Body. However, this thing is more tricky than I anticipated.'
The Dharma Body is the physical manifestation of a cultivator's Dao; it's both real and unreal. So, condensing requires very subtle manipulation of the law, which is something he excelled at. However, it also needed more time than he anticipated.
"I will temper my body as I wait."
Wang Wei then focused on condensing more black holes inside his body as he waited for the Dharma Body to shrink to the size he wanted. Previously, he only condensed only 10,000 black holes. But now, he focused on completing the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture.]
As he condensed more black holes, Wang Wei watched as his realm in the True Power Dao Realm rapidly increased. Then, when he condensed 250,000 black holes, he finally reached the fourth layer: Infant Fiendgod Stage.
Wang Wei stood in a desolate secret realm and clenched his hand before punching the air.
"Is this the power of 1 Fiendgod Force? I can fight 1-Root Dao Ancestor with my body alone."
1 Fiendgod Force equaled the power to destroy 1% of a Heaven Will World.
"With 100 Fiendgod Force, I will be able to destroy a Heaven Will World with one punch," muttered Wang Wei. "This power level is beyond even an Eternal Emperor.
"Is this power of a Fiendgod that was just born?"
Wang Wei could not help but shake his head as he realized how unfair Heaven and Earth were. According to this True Power Dao Realm, Infant Fiendgods were born with the strength of Dao Ancestor. And as they grow and develop, they will reach strength beyond 20% of the Grand Dao Source.
He then focused on himself.
"It took 250,000 black holes to reach the fourth level. By the time I condense all millions of them, I won't travel far in the fourth layer," he muttered, realizing how difficult it is to walk the True Power Dao.
Wang Wei continued his seclusion. He waited for his Dharma Body to condense to his desired size while creating more black holes in his Acupoints. Simultaneously, he also continues to deepen his understanding of the Dao through Law Comprehension and Emperor Scriptures.
To his slight surprise, he finished his Acupoints before the Dharma Body finished shrinking.
Wang Wei stood half-naked in his cultivation realm. Countless small lights appeared all over his body: 1.269 million to be exact. He clenched his hands as he sensed the overwhelming power coursing through his body.
"Only 9 Fiendgod Force," he muttered with a wry smile: the True Power Dao cultivation was not easy.
"I reckon there won't be much of an increase after I fuse with the incarnations," commented Wang Wei about his situation. According to his calculation, the other incarnations should reach a similar level as him in the their body cultivation.
However, the final outcome won't be a simple addition of their Fiendgod Force after fusing. So, the final result will not be as high as Wang Wei would love.
"I already knew the True Power Dao was not easy." He shook his head, focusing on more important things.
Wang Wei now had the strength of late stage 1-Root Dao Ancestor only with his fleshly body. He calculated that he could reach the peak after a few more Fiendgod Forces.
9 Fiendgod Force meant his attack could destroy 9% of the Myriad Emperor World without Heavenly Dao reinforcing the world or using World Source to rapidly heal the damage. Of course, he also could not destroy the world with ten consecutive punches.
'I wonder how many Fiendgod Force will be equal to an Eternal Emperor,' wondered Wang Wei. The Infant Fiendgod Layer was not linear. For example, 1 Fiendgod Force equals the power of a 1-Root Dao Ancestor.
But according to Wang Wei's calculations, an Eternal Emperor was probably around 40 to 50 Fiendgod Force–despite the fact they were a thousand times, if not more, powerful than a Dao Ancestor.
"Let's not focus on things that are too far from us," muttered Wang Wei. "I should focus on how terrible the Tribulation for this layer will be.'
The third layer test was terrifying and almost broke him despite his immense Willpower. As such, he expects the subsequent tribulations to be as harsh–if not worse.
Wang Wei frowned as he thought of his future. 'I will ask Wu Hong for her experience to learn from.' He learned many valuable and subtle ways to temper his body from the Desolate Emperor. However, the latter did not talk much about the tribulations, most likely, hoping Wang Wei would experience them himself and use them as an opportunity to gather more experience.
'Luckily, I should be able to hold on for the tribulation until I become an Emperor.'
Wang Wei put his clothes back on before teleporting to another secret realm. He saw a vast land with a few spiritual herbs planted. However, many of these herbs had colorful fog emanating from them. Furthermore, the disciples caring for these spiritual herbs had powerful Protective Talismans around them.
Wang Wei dared not even check some of these spiritual herbs with Divine Sense and could only glance at them.
'Liling did an excellent job with these poisons–especially the Dragon Binding Grass,' thought Wang Wei, focusing on a blue-colored grass spiritual herb with dragon designs on the leaves.
'There is no point in using them now for body tempering. After proving the Dao, I can nourish them with the power of the Grand Dao Source to turn them into Emperor Tier spiritual herb.'
This method will make these poisons more effective for his True Power Dao cultivation.
Wang Wei only wanted to check on these things on a whim. So, once he finished, he returned to his cultivation.
After condensing all a million black holes, he technically finished cultivating the mortal layer of the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture]. As for the Immortal Layer that made it an Insurgent Technique, Wang Wei could not cultivate it because of the risks.
Without having the [Immortal Essence] that Immortal Venerables, Dao Ancestors, and Great Emperors had, he had a high chance of dying or being crippled if he cultivated that layer. freewёbnoνel.com
However, Wang Wei researched that layer and realized it could provide some help in the future. The Immortal Layer had two parts: Soul Modification and Primordial God Veins.
According to this scripture, any person who succeeds in cultivating it can have the power of a 6-star Primordial God Primarch. Unfortunately, even a talented person like Desolate One only cultivated to the level of 5-Star Primarch and had the strength of Pseudo Eternal.
Wang Wei estimated there are not enough resources in the lower dimension to cultivate the scripture to the highest level. Furthermore, there is a chance the highest layer of the scripture is theoretical. Ancient Desolate might have only completed this scripture after he ascended.
Wang Wei was not sure. Despite his monstrous comprehension, there are certain things he cannot truly understand until he reaches a certain realm. So, he can only theorize.
Wang Wei continued tempering his body while waiting for the Dharma Body to shrink. He used the Divine Thunder sealed inside his body; it's one of the few things still working for him. Furthermore, he did not stop working on his Acupoints.
Although he no longer had to condense black holes, he could nourish them and expand their size as a way to cultivate his fleshly body.
The only downside to these tempering methods was the slow speed of cultivation. His current cultivation speed was a nightmare compared to the past when he felt his strength drastically increasing every second and minute.
"The situation should improve after the final battle since I will have more options for Immortal Tier opportunities and resources," muttered Wang Wei before focusing on becoming a Quasi-Emperor.
After what felt like an eternity, the Dharma Body final shrink, and Wang Wei fused with it. Thousands of grey lights emanated from his body during the process, followed by mysterious runes. His body also exuded Dao Rhymes and Heavenly Sounds, meaning someone could become enlightened just by standing near him.
And since his Dharma contained a River of Fate from his Heavenly Physique, a vision of the Fate River also manifested behind him. Subsequently, Wang Wei felt his connection or affinity to the main branch of the River of Fate drastically increase.
'Is this a good or bad thing?' he pondered. However, he could not come up with an answer. So far, it seemed it was to his advantage. But he was always wary of the River of Fate after his Mortal Dust.
"Is this the Pseudo Dao Body?" muttered Wang Wei, concentrating on the changes in his body. After an Emperor stays too long in an environment, the place will be contaminated with Dao Rhymes, turning it into a blessed land for cultivation.
Now, Wang Wei could see his body also exuded signs of having these characteristics. His body seemed to be in harmony with the Dao as his every gesture contained the profound truth of Heaven and Earth.
He once theorized about the changes cultivators would undergo during the cultivation journey. In the early stages, from Body Refining to Primordial Spirit Realm, cultivators turned themselves from flesh and blood creatures to Energy Lifeforms.
Before the Primordial Spirit Realm, cultivators could be considered half-flesh and half-energy creatures. However, after condensing their Primordial Spirit, they can abandon their body and live as "spirits' or complete energy creatures.
From the Void Shattering Realm to the Great Emperor Realm, cultivators transformed from Energy Lifeforms to Conceptual Lifeforms. They existed in a higher dimension where they could not only control different concepts and ideas, but they were the embodiment of these concepts.
"A better name would be Dao Body Embryo," he commented. As long the embryo is baptized by the Grand Dao Source, it will turn into a true Dao or Emperor Body.
Wang Wei continued checking the changes in his body. His lifespan should have drastically increased after this breakthrough. Unfortunately, he used the resources from the Demon Supremacy World to achieve the lifespan limit of a mortal: one Yuan Epoch, or 1.269 trillion years.
Then, he went to the Battle Pagoda to check his strength. He fought with the interaction of Di Tian he created from his defeat in the Heavenly Abode World. Wang Wei was easily the victor since that version did not finish his Nine Extremity Foundation.
Then, he created another one based on the information he gathered from the Oracle Mirror.
'Barely 2-Root even with my fleshly body; it's a similar result as the other incarnations,' he analyzed after exiting the Pagoda. Logically speaking, he should reach 5-Root as long as he fused with the 8 incarnations that also have 2-Root strength.
Unfortunately, the difference between each root is vast. Furthermore, there is a limit of 4-Root for people who use the unorthodox Nine Extremity Foundation.
"Luckily, I have the Fate Palace and Fate Gu for baptism, so I don't have to worry about an incompletion."
He exhaled deeply. After countless years and numerous tribulations, he finally reached this stage.
"Next is the final fusion," he muttered before leaving.
Wang Wei stood in another secret realm with a Trans-Planar Transmission Array. The array lit up as he calmly waited. A few seconds later, someone who looked exactly like him walked, with the only difference being the black hair and eyes.
"So, you're the first," said Wang Wei.
"It seems so," replied the Free Will Incarnations. "Let's not waste time and immediately fuse."
"We have to wait for Fate to arrive."
A few minutes later, another Wang Wei walked out of the formation, and it was the Fate Incarnation. Although technically a mortal with no cultivation, he could easily kill an Immortal Venerable with his mighty soul power and deep understanding of the law of Heaven and Earth.
"Is everything ready?" he asked.
"Yes."
"Then, let's begin."
The three sat cross-legged in the air with their eyes clothes. Nine Palaces manifested above his head, releasing a grey light that entered Wang Wei and the Free Will Incarnation's body.
The Fate Incarnation waved his hand, and the Fate Gu flew into a pool in one of the palaces. Finally, Wang Wei began the fusion. The first thing he experienced in the process was the memory of the incarnation.
He watched how the latter cultivated from the Body Tempering Realm until the Free Will Incarnation became a Quasi-Emperor. Wang Wei took this opportunity to experience every realm of the Original System a second time, starting from scratch; this benefited him greatly–including a deeper understanding of the Dao.
He created the Free Will Incarnation from Zhen Chao's body, so the latter did not have to start from a mortal like the other incarnations. Nevertheless, Wang Wei's Dao Heart was still baptized through the incarnation's mission.
Another benefit of this fusion was the increase in his fleshly body. Wang Wei worried the different Chaos Materials fused by the various incarnations would cause problems during the fusion.
But he was wrong. The materials turned into power or energy to elevate the fleshly body to a higher level. So, they technically disappear while cultivating the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture.] So, the final fusion was one of flesh and flesh.
Even the black holes of the incarnation became nourishment for the black holes of Wang Wei's main body.
'Is this the power of [Existence]? The incarnations are clones, yet they are also another extension of me,' thought Wang Wei as he analyzed the changes in his body.
He saw his Dao Tree had some golden colors scattered in the silver parts. He knew this was the benefit of using the Nine Fate Palaces as a catalyst for the fusion.
"I feel my Fateless Abilities are now complete after fusing with this Incarnation," muttered Wang Wei.
Then, he continued.
The next incarnation to arrive was Yin-Yang. Wang Wei once again experienced cultivating the Origin System from scratch. And this time, he experienced it twice since the incarnation was once two people.
He experienced a life of goodness, joy, and light from the Yin Incarnation. Of course, the life of a woman. From the Yang Incarnation, Wang Wei experienced a life of evil, slaughter, sadness, and darkness.
Based on his spiritual hints, the two incarnations each experienced Mortal Dust, ensuring a stable and potent Dao Heart. Their Mortal Dust had some unique aspects as they each turned into the Sun and Moon for a while.
The power of Yin-Yang emanated from Wang Wei's body as he finished his fusion. His body, soul, Origin Essence, Law, Duyi Realm, Battle experience, and Dao Heart once again sublimated.
He felt the power coursing through his veins and nodded in satisfaction. The only thing he was not happy about was the Duyi Realm. With the memories from Earth, these incarnations tried to push the boundary of the cultivation system.
Unfortunately, they could not succeed because they were an extension of Wang Wei's main body. They could use the Duyi Realm but only the one from the main body. The worse part is they only discover the reason behind their failures once they regain their memories.
The next incarnation was Luck. While fusing with this one, Wang Wei's face changed, showing a range of negative emotions: sadness, despair, grief, guilt, pain, loss, and anger. He looked like a schizophrenic patient, experiencing countless personalities simultaneously.
Then, tears dropped from his eyes as he opened them. He exhaled deeply, "I finally understand his pain."
He experienced the Luck Incarnation's emotion as he watched Wu Hong die; he felt the despair and helplessness of the latter, the guilt for his own weakness and lack of ability.
'I will never let something like that happen.'
He would die before watching something happen to her. Although Wu Hong told him his action would be selfish since he would leave her alone in the world, he did not care; he would be selfish if such a situation presented itself.
He exhaled deeply, managing his emotions.
The next fusion was with the Karma Incarnation. Wang Wei watched as the latter tried to be detached or transcend the shackles of karma.
After many unsuccessful attempts, the Karma Incarnation chose to create a River of Karma and fuse with the Karma of all living things, thus becoming the source of Karma. With this method, he was no longer bound by any karmic debts or restraints.
"I have a feeling this experience will be extremely beneficial to me later on," he muttered before checking the changes.
This incarnation fused with the River of Karma he created, so Wang Wei's Unbound Karma Physique further sublimated after the fusion. He now had the karmic resistance of a Great Emperor, meaning he could slaughter hundreds of Heaven Will World and not be affected by Karmic Sins.
'Excellent. After the Great Dao Source Baptism, this physique should further evolve,' pondered Wang Wei before continuing with the next incarnation: Life and Death or Samsara.
"Did you eliminate all the traces?" Wang Wei asked.
"Yes. Old Man Nether won't find anything even if he turned Heaven and Earth upside down," replied the Samsara Incarnation.
"Excellent," replied Wang Wei before proceeding with the fusion. Things proceeded smoothly as he drastically improved in all aspects. As he opened his eyes, his vision changed as he saw a red room with countless cloud-shape blobs.
He looked at one of the blobs and could tell this soul would be reincarnation approximately six generations from now in the Myriad Emperor World. However, Wang Wei suddenly frowned as he looked at another soul.
'Grandfather will be reincarnated into another world community?' Although he was still resentful toward the man, he knew what he meant for his grandmother. So, he waved his hand to change his reincarnation time to be the same as his grandma's. Finally, he linked their soul to have a Love Fate Line before blessing them with ample Luck.
'I wish you all the blessing and love in your next journey.'
He closed his eyes as he continued his cultivation. The next incarnation was Destiny.
The Mortal Dust of this incarnation was interesting. He became a tyrant that controlled the destiny of everyone in the world. He released knowledge of his existence, desiring people to revolt against their fate and try to defeat him. Many tried, but unfortunately, no one succeeded.
The most significant benefit of this fusion is his Dao Heart tempering; he was very satisfied with the result. Additionally, he fused the latter's Book of Destiny into his Proving Dao Artifact, sublimating it into an ultimate Emperor Artefact Embryo.
The last incarnation was Order- Disorder. Through this fusion, Wang Wei experienced what it was like to be Heavenly Dao through the latter's mission.
When the Order Clone first replaced Heavenly Dao in a Lower Thousand World, the latter felt his mind became cold, indifferent, and calculating; he tried to resist that change but realized he needed to retain a certain level of apathetic mindset to control the entire laws of a world.
And as he became the Heavenly Dao of a Middle and Greater Thousand World, the amount of information he needed to process every second was astronomical, so he needed to stay in a state of indifference for a longer period of time.
Through this incarnation, Wang Wei further peeped into the workings of Heavenly Dao, thus increasing his understanding of the Heavenly Dao Control of his [Force Control Skill].
Lastly, he learned more ways to access and control his Willpower.
"The last step," muttered Wang Wei as the Nine Fate Palaces fused with his main body. His aura suddenly increased as he underwent a baptism: a potent power of fate nourished his body and boosted his strength to another level.
"I feel complete," commented Wang Wei as he felt the peak 5-Root strength he possessed.
"Nine Extremity is wonderful; it's a shame I cannot leave any records for the sect," muttered Wang Wei. The Nine Extremity Foundation is one of the core secrets of Heaven and Earth, so it contains certain karmic power which prevents people from leaving any records of its existence.
Furthermore, even people who know about it will have their memories become blurry and even doubt the existence of the Nine Extremity Foundation. The only exception to this rule is Emperor, but even they cannot leave written records of the Nine Extremity.
For example, after Wang Wei leaves, his Ancestors' memories of the Nine Extremity will also become unclear, and many will directly forget it. However, as long as he, Di Tian, Wrath, and Chu Luo are present in the lower dimension, knowledge of the Nine Extremity will not be affected.
So, if Jin Mengyao does not take the opportunity to use his current knowledge about Nine Extremity, it will disappear from his mind after Wang Wei leaves.
Wang Wei looked at his Fate Incarnation, "Are you ready?"
"Of course."
"Let's go." He took the orb containing the science and technology world and entered.
After feeling something wrong with the Clean-Up, Di Tian left with his Shadow, returning to the Myriad Emperor World. His father immediately came to see him after his return.
"The Clean-up is already finished?" asked the Di Clan Patriarch.
"Something went wrong, so I left alone."
"What happened?" he asked with a frown.
"It doesn't matter," replied Di Tian. "Does the clan have any sealed Heaven Chosen who practice Overlord or Tyrant Dao?"
The patriarch pondered for a moment, "There should be. Why?"
"I need one to be my general."
"Do you even need a general?" He knew his son's strength, so he felt the latter was guaranteed to win this generation's battle; this is one of the reasons Di Cong did not mind his son was the reincarnation of some powerhouses.
"I thought I did not, but Wang Wei's strength caught up with me." freewebnσvel.cѳm
Di Cong immediately frowned and hurriedly asked, "How sure are you to win?"
"I don't know." Di Tian would be sure if it were before since he could break the limit of Nine Extremity. However, he knew Wang We was the kind of person who could create miracles.
Di Cong immediately became nervous since he's never heard any uncertainty from his son before.
"There is no need to worry," added Di Tian. He was not as worried about the final battle because of his Emperor Soul. He now broke the limit of his soul and can continue to reincarnate. The only reason he wanted to prove the Dao in this generation no matter is he knew Qing'er Imprint might not survive past this generation.
Di Cong sighed to calm down, "Follow me."
He took his son to a secret realm where numerous coffins with profound seals around them. Di Cong held a talisman while reviewing information about these sealed Heaven Chosen.
Soon, he found the person he wanted. Di Cong then used a secret technique to unlock the coffin. Then, a fierce and brutal aura emanated from the coffin.
"I'm awake?" said a beautiful and melodious voice. "Finally, this suffering has ended."
A woman dressed in plain black clothes walked out of the coffin. Her body exuded a terrifying Yang Energy, showing her mighty fleshly body. She opened her mouth to swallow a vast quantity of Spirit Qi.
She turned around to look at Di Cong and Di Tian. "I specifically asked the clan to wake me during a generation full of Eternal Destiny. Is it this generation?"
"Yes, but this is not why you're woken up," said Di Cong.
"What do you mean?"
"You need to be the general of this generation's Heaven Chosen?"
"What did you say?" said Di Jiaying, releasing a terrible killing aura; it was so intense the surrounding tremble, and Di Cong had to take a few steps backward.
Di Tian waved his hand to disperse the pressure. "Do you have a problem with what he said?"
"Of course I do."
"How about now?" He released a terrifying pressure that made Di Jiaying unable to breathe or move.
"Not bad," commented Di Tian before increasing the pressure; he wanted to force her to heal. However, Di Jiaying refused to bow down. Who was she? A peerless genius born at the wrong time.
She was born in the Middle Emperor Era, thirty years after Emperor Three Leaf from the Loose Cultivator Alliance proved the Dao. Tainted by the karma of the previous generation, her Emperor Path was cut before it started. However, she refused to accept things so easily.
After cultivating until the Quasi-Emperor Realm, Di Jiaying contacted everyone who survived the Heaven Will Battle and battled them out. She suppressed them one by one, shocking the world.
However, this was not the end.
Di Jiaying showed her arrogance as she challenged Emperor Three Leaf. She claimed to the world that if she had been born earlier, the latter would never prove the Dao. So, she challenged him to fight her in the same realm.
She used the Di Clan's power to spread rumors throughout the Myriad Emperor World. Finally, Emperor Three Leaf could no longer ignore this matter and decided to prove her wrong. He sealed himself to the strength he had before acquiring the Heaven Will and fought with her.
Then, the world was schooled. Di Jiaying dominated that battle and won, proving to the world she would have been the Emperor if not for her poor luck.
Meanwhile, Emperor Three Leaf became the laughingstock of the World. A mighty First Class Emperor was no match for a little girl. What's more, he only won because of his luck.
Angered, Three Leaf wanted to eradicate Di Jiaying to wash away this shame. Unfortunately, the Di Clan's Insurgents prepared and took Di Jiaying away. However, Three Leaf did not give up and mobilized the power of the Loose Cultivator Alliance to fight the Di Clan.
The result was his exile into the upper dimension. Although the Di Clan did not have an Eternal Emperor, their founder was a man of great merit. In the Ancient Emperor Era, the Western Continent was desolate, even worse than the current Northern Continent.
It was full of baleful auras, chaotic spatial energy, and low Spiritual Qi.
Then, the patriarch of the Di Clan arrived and cultivated the Earth Dao and minor in Array Dao. He reconnected the veins underneath the Western Continent to revitalize it while also using formation to slowly remove the baleful aura and smooth the chaotic spaces.
The Di Clan founder did not fix the Western Continent in one generation. Generations after generations of the Di Clan helped the process–including the other four Emperors. The Di Clan received great merit for their actions, and their founder even refined a unique Emperor Artifact full of merit and connected to the entire Western Continent.
With this foundation, the Di Clan swiftly dealt with Emperor Three Leaf and saved Di Jiaying's life.
Thinking about everything she experienced, Di Jiaying would never kneel to anyone.
"Great Willpower," said Di Tian coldly. "Unfortunately, it's useless before absolute power."
Crack!
He increased his aura, forcing Di Jiaying onto her knees. He ignored her ugly complexion or all the blood from her body.
"You serve as my general, and I will find Karma Washing Water for you to compete in the next generation."
Di Jiaying gritted her teeth but did not say anything.
"You can serve me willingly, or I can enslave you," added Di Tian. "Believe me when I say you won't even be able to kill yourself in front of me."
Di Jiaying's eyes became red. Then, a few seconds later, she suddenly became incredibly calm and composed.
"Fine, I agree."
"Interesting," muttered Di Tian before pointing his hand to her forehead and putting a seal inside her soul. "You betray me, you die."
"The strong decide the fate of the weak; that's how the world should be," she said nonchalantly.
"As long as you understand," said Di Tian, who knew Di Jiaying was the kind of person who could bind her time before taking revenge. Unfortunately, the difference between them was something she could not even fathom.
"Now, follow me."
Di Tian led Di Jiaying to meet with Gao Buqin and Gluttony. He spent the next few days preparing detailed training programs for these three, including using formation and tactics from the Qin Dynasty. He mobilized numerous resources from the Di Clan and his private reserves to train them.
Then, he entered seclusion.
Not long after he entered, he received a talisman that disturbed him.
"Wang Wei wants to see me?" he muttered with a frown. Di Tian condensed a clone and sent it. After knowing the reason for the visit, he condensed another clone with 95% of his power and sent it after the people Wang Wei wanted to kill.
In the meantime, he reviewed the latter's idea, planning for the future. Di Tian then contacted his Sleepers.
"Did you find the place of the War Talisman?"
"We discovered five locations where it could be."
Di Tian's eyes squinted with a cunning light, "Good enough. Have our people stay in these places and notify me if they see Li Jun."
"As you wish."
Di Tian frowned as he sensed the latter's hesitation, "What is it?"
"Master, are you sure Li Jun is coming for the talisman?"
"He wanted it ever since he lost to Fang Lijuan. With Wang Wei's destiny that can nourish others, it's normal for him to find it," said Di Tian before dismissing the Sleepers. However, he was in a bad mood because of the quality of the new Sleepers; they were incompetent in his eyes.
He closed his eyes to wait.
"The assassination failed?" he muttered with a frown. "Those people from the upper dimension are not simple."
He shook his head before focusing on his cultivation; this time, he would enter deep seclusion, even using a Time Chaos Treasure to ensure he reached his goal. No matter what happened outside would have to wait for his exit.
"Let's see what kind of power this Limit Breaker will bring me."
Chapter
Di Tian continued his cultivation, deepening his comprehension of the Dao. Floating in front was a small golden tree that released a tremendous amount of Dao Rhymes. If anyone could see this tree, they would be surprised as it was the legendary Bodhi Tree–a treasure even Eternal Supremes would fight to the death for.
The Bodhi Tree enhanced comprehension and made it easier for cultivators to comprehend the Law. And once it grows to a certain size, it's helpful to even Great Emperor Realms and above. Even in the upper dimension, Bodhi Tree is an invaluable treasure.
Although it's not an Innate or Chaos Treasure, the Bodhi Tree is a hundred times more valuable than most of these treasures. Regrettably, Buddhist-oriented spiritual treasures became extinct after the extinction of Buddhism in the lower dimension and the Absolute Beginning Magic.
Di Tian only preserved this Bodhi Tree after awakening his memory as a monk in the Incense Era. After countless years, incalculable treasures, and relentless effort, he grew it to the current 50 cm size.
With the help of the Bodhi Tree and his Emperor Soul, Di Tian felt his comprehension had never been as smooth during his entire cultivation journey. So, he swiftly reached the pinnacle of the Supreme Realm.
To ensure a solid foundation, he underwent Dao Tribulation to temper his Dao Fruit to the best state possible. Then, nine Dharma Bodies manifested behind him, each reaching the limit of 1.269 trillion kilometers.
Di Tian began the fusion process, so his body grew in size. It did not take him long before he reached the height of the Dharma Body. So, he proceeded to fuse with the second; his actions allowed his body to break the limit of 1.269 trillion kilometers.
Di Tian repeated the process until he fused with all nine.
"So, I've reached this step again," muttered Di Tian as he checked his Dao Body. His strength reached 5-Root, but it was barely.
"The final step," he muttered before continuing his cultivation. He focused on condensing the Illusory World in his Acupoints to temper his body to the peak of this generation. Once he finished, a mysterious seed full of runes appeared in his Sea of Consciousness, releasing a power that drastically increased his fleshly body.
Di Tian exhaled. He absorbed the fleshly body strength of his previous generations, finally completing the Nine Extremity Foundation.
Boom!
He punched in the air, shaking the entire secret realm. Luckily, he used his power to reinforce the surroundings; otherwise, he would have destroyed everything.
"Only 13 Fiendgod Force?" he commented with some dissatisfaction. He soon relaxed since the research he did make him understand that True Power Dao was not an easy path to cultivate.
Di Tian did not leave his retreat since he finally reached the most crucial step: beyond Nine Extremity. He readjusted his state before closing his eyes. He saw a purple orb floating in his Sea of Consciousness and stared at it for a few minutes.
Although he knew it was the best choice to absorb the Limit Breaker–and he did not have a choice–a small part of him still wanted to use it to revive his wife. So, he took a deep breath before beginning to use it.
After completing the Nine Extremity Foundation, Di Tian felt he had reached a ceiling of power that he could not. He could push the height of the ceiling by a small margin, but he could never go beyond it.
However, as he used the Limit Break, he sensed cracks appearing on the ceiling.
Bang!
Di Tian felt the limitation of Heaven and Earth placed on him was forcefully broken. Then, he felt his strength increase at an exponential rate–especially His understanding of the Dao. Half of his Golden Dao Tree turned Purple Gold. His Divine Sea–which was a combination of Nine Divine Seas–expanded tremendously. His soul was nourished and reached an unprecedented level, and his energy was purified beyond a level he thought possible.
Di Tian had never felt such strength in his life; he was undergoing a radical transformation into a supreme and venerated being. The only disappointing thing about this transformation was his fleshly body, as he only reached 15 Fiendgod Force.
"Is this the power of a Great Emperor?" muttered Di Tian with a little fascination; he felt mighty, supreme, and invincible. In his mind, he could achieve anything between Heaven and Earth.
Di Tian suddenly felt danger, and he swiftly reigned in his mind as his powerful Dao Heart and state of mind stabilized; he did not let his sudden strength increase affect his mind.
"Is this why Nine Extremity requires a powerful Dao Heart to achieve?"
He quickly understood if he did not have a powerful Dao Heart to control his current strength, something terrible would happen; he might lose that strength or, worse–die.
'Huh?' He muttered as he raised his head. His vision penetrated the secret realm, and he saw the sky outside of the Di Clan. Numerous visions manifested in the sky, shrouding the entire Myriad Emperor World. freёwebnovel.com
Di Tian frowned, "It detected my breakthrough?" He did not have the best relationship with Heavenly Dao, so he always used a Chaos Treasure to hide from the latter's eyes. But now, it seemed it discovered his breakthrough.
'It must be the work of True Heavenly Dao?' thought Di Tian, unhappy about the vision. With such a grand scene, some people should guess the reason for this great celebration.
A large piece of purple merit descended from the sky to Di Tian in the secret realm, followed by a piece of information in his mind. He squinted his mind as he realized breaking through the limit of Nine Extremity was not as simple as he imagined.
"Mortal Emperor," he muttered with squinted eyes. His achievement of Ten Extremity was the first in the entire Chaos Universe, so Grand Dao granted him the title of [Mortal Emperor].
With this title, he will have luck and destiny compared to a Son of Era without having the responsibilities. He will have an extended period compared to others to comprehend [Existence], thus increasing his chances of becoming Emperor.
Thirdly, his life span can break the limit of One Yuan Epoch. As a Mortal Emperor, he can live for Nine Yuan Epoch. Furthermore, he could participate in the Heavenly Battle every other generation without washing away his karma.
Lastly, he will have one extra life after proving the Dao, similar to if he had consumed a Longevity resource.
"So many benefits?"
Di Tian knew he would benefit significantly from any of these things. With such tremendous luck and destiny, he does not have to worry about Heavenly Dao's scheme. Plus, his survivability drastically increased. After all, with the destiny of Sons and Daughters of Era, it's not easy to kill them.
The second ability increased his chances of becoming an Eternal Emperor. More lifespan will always be valuable, not to mention the ability to not be affected by the karma of a generation's Heaven Will Battle.
Finally, he will have an extra life after becoming an Emperor.
Di Tian smiled slightly before returning to his old calm demeanor. Then, another piece of information appeared in his mind. As the first person to become a Mortal Emperor and create a new foundation, he has the right to name.
"Since there is Nine Extremity, call it Ten Supremacy Foundation."
As soon as he said these words, the records of Grand Dao changed and added a new level of Dao Foundation. Immediately, countless Paragons, Fiendgods, and Half-Step Detach Beings sensed the change in the universe. However, only a few could find this new record.
Many people even wanted to find the person who had such an achievement. Unfortunately, Grand Dao directly protected Di Tian's existence, not allowing anyone to discover him.
However, a few scary existences discovered the source of the change was the Eternal Ascension World.
Di Tian exhaled deeply to control his emotions. He looked at the purple merit before him and could not help smiling again. He placed it away, knowing this was the first step in a long road.
To his surprise, another piece of knowledge appeared in his Sea of Consciousness. However, the source was Emperyan Nine Pillar. The latter left him with many of his theories and possibilities about the Ten Supremacy Foundation.
"This person was truly a heaven-defying genius," commented Di Tian after reviewing the knowledge; he shook his head in regret as he could not fathom the latter's achievement if he were not obsessed with achieving Ten Supremacy.
'His inheritance will benefit me immensely. However, I have something else to do.'
He waved his hand to create a bunch of runes; he seemed to be casting a spell, but with his power, it was not instant. Moreover, Di Tian was very cautious.
'With my new power, he should not discover it. The only thing I should worry about is those damn old things.'
Di Tian breathed in relief before continuing his cultivation.
Science and Technology World:
Wang Wei and the Fate Incarnation waited for someone in a white room. Knowing it might take some time, he decided to continue to study the changes in his body and his previous fusion experience.
Wang Wei first felt the changes in his Dao Body. After fusing the nine Dharma Bodies, he created a solid foundation for his Emperor Path. From his knowledge, he knew the Emperor's Body was another battle strength for Great Emperors, but only for people with deep foundations. However, there were more crucial aspects of this fusion.
After the Void Shattering Realm, physiques–even Heavenly Ones–are almost useless. The others are essentially useless except for rare physiques like Xu Shi's Primordial Chaos Physique or upper dimension physiques like the Innate Grand Dao Physique and the Paragon Soul.
The owner could use some method to retain a few special characteristics of their physique after proving the Dao. However, that's a rare occurrence.
But Wang Wei did not want to give up the advantage completely. So, he had each of his incarnations create a unique physique based on their time.
These physiques were Yin-Yang Balance Physique, Unfettered Physique, Good Fortune Physique (luck), Karma Source Physique, Space-Time Overlord Physique, Samsara Physique, Heaven Order Physique, and Destiny Manipulation Physique.
He fused these unique physiques into his Fate Puppetteer Physique to create the embryo of the Fate Domination Physique. Currently, this physique is useless and is only an embryo. However, after becoming an Emperor, he can nourish it with the Grand Dao Source and the River of Fate to become complete.
Wang Wei has no big ambitions about this physique. He only wishes it could give him a boost when comprehending the Fate Grand Dao Source. With his current monstrous comprehension level, the Future Buddha Self, the Spirit Particle, even a few percent increase from this physique will be highly beneficial.
'Maybe it's not as useless as I thought,' pondered Wang Wei as he felt his Fate Innate Talent he had not used in a long time, begin to change. The Innate Talent is extremely powerful, and he used it to deepen his understanding of Fate Dao; he also incorporated many of the things he learned from it into his Fate Transcending Sutra.
However, the weakness of this talent is how easy it is to backlash him when used on people on the same or higher level than him. As for weaker people, it was overkilled to use it on them.
'I plan to see if I could refine and elevate it to a higher level. Or maybe, create an artifact with its power. But now, it seems it might still be useful to me in the final battle,' thought Wang Wei before continuing to check his body.
He checked his Origin Essence, and all he could say is the amount was endless. Adding his Qi Flower Ability, he never has to worry about his stamina for fighting.
'After proving the Dao, the Origin Essence will nourish the Emperor Body, contributing to my foundation.'
Cultivation System with only energy also has the hope to be excellent in the Emperor Realm. If their energy quantity is vast and pure enough, they can nourish the Emperor's Body. And as long the Emperor Body is strong enough, someone can use it to become an Eternal Supreme.
Of course, other cultivation systems have too many advantages over pure energy systems. For example, Wang Wei's Gold Dao Tree will also fuse with his Emperor Body, increasing his Dao Foundation.
Wang Wei clenched his hand and felt the power of his fleshly body.
'18 Fiengod Force: an increase of 9. Not bad, I guess.'
Finally, Wang Wei checked on his [Fate Transcending Sutra]. Each incarnation has its unique scriptures; now, he had to fuse them all.
'This will take some time,' pondered Wang Wei. The Fate Incarnation created an outline for the fusion, and he only needs to fill it in.
Shoo!
The door of the room suddenly opened, and two people walked in: a woman and a man.
"Wu Fen has seen the Immortal," bowed the woman, and Wang Wei looked at her. He remembered the little girl from the Martial Divine Dynasty who participated in his little game during his trial. She was the final winner and became the ruler of this world. After so many years, she somehow managed to keep that power.
"Ninth Level Genertic Warrior: not bad," commented Wang Wei.
"The little girl is nothing before the Immortal," replied Wu Fen with some hidden emotions. After the warriors of this world reached the Ninth Level, many became arrogant and challenged the so-called [Immortal], who was the true ruler of this world.
Unfortunately, Wang Wei's clone patted all of them with one attack. After all, even if it was a clone, he could still kill a bunch of little Supreme and Quasi-Emperor Realm cultivators.
"Let's not waste time," said Wang Wei, looking at the scientist behind her.
Have you finished what I asked you?"
"Yes, and no," replied Wei Enlai with hesitation.
"You can speak freely."
Wei Enlai took a breath before explaining, "According to our research, the Quantum Realm is indeed the way to reach the Tenth Level." He showed Wang Wei numerous data.
"So, what exactly is the Quantum Realm?" asked Wang Wei.
"A truly wonderful world," said Wei Enlai with bright eyes. "It is a place where the laws of physique break down. The speed limit is no longer the speed of light; the temperature can go lower than absolute zero. freёwebnovel.com
"However, this is not what makes it so wonderful."
After the Seventh Level, Genetic Warriors can also break the laws of the physique.
"The real wonder of the Quantum Realm is the fact [concepts] exist. Things like life and death are no longer a simple decay of the cells and consciousness, fate is no long probability, and creation is no longer matter manipulation.
"They are tangible and observable concepts."
Wang Wei squinted his eyes, "So, how to become a Tenth Level Genetic Warrior?"
"Enter the Quantum Realm and use the High Consciousness to absorb these concepts, elevating the body to a Quantum Lifeform or a higher dimensional creature," explained Wei Enlai.
Then, he sighed, full of regret. "Unfortunately, this way is only theoretical. No one has ever succeeded?"
"Why?"
"Only a few people succeeded on the trip to the Quantum Realm, and the others died. However, even the one who succeeded could not find or touch on the concepts in that realm."
"Their High Consciousness was not enough?"
"Correct."
Wang Wei nodded as he understood these people's souls were not enough to succeed, but he did not have this problem.
"Did the blood I gave you contain the [concept] from the Quantum Realm?" asked Wang Wei.
"Yes. One contained the power of destiny, and the other of slaughter," replied with fervor in his eyes. "The being you gave us was a perfect mix of flesh and [Concept]. Every single cell in its body contains them."
Wei Enlai's eyes lit up. "What's more, that creature was not limited by its flesh and blood. The [Concept] in its body had its mark, meaning it could exist even if it lost flesh, blood, and High Consciousness."
Wang Wei squinted his eyes, controlling his emotions.
"How to get to the Quantum Realm? By shrinking myself?" he asked.
"Yes, but that's only because of our primitive technology," explained Wei Enlai. "The Quantum Realm is like a higher dimension, or maybe a space that exists between reality and spirituality. Unfortunately, only through shrinking can we get there, making the voyage extremely dangerous and requiring a certain level of body strength before succeeding."
Wang Wei asked more questions until he understood everything. Then, he ordered the two to prepare for him. He set up a time formation for the Fate Incarnation and had the latter swiftly reach the pinnacle of the Ninth Level.
Finally, the incarnation used a very complicated-looking machine to enter the Quantum Realm. The process was smooth. However, the incarnation encountered trouble after entering.
He felt a mysterious power wiping him out every second he spent inside. So, he had to use his meager strength to resist. Knowing the situation, the incarnation quickly searched for the [Fate Concept] and absorbed it.
Unfortunately, he encountered another trouble: he could not refine it before the power of the Quantum Realm destroyed him. Luckily, the Fate Incarnation was prepared. The main body unsealed his soul and gave him a lot of Spiritual Power to use. With them, he rapidly absorbs the [Concept].
The incarnation felt a sublimation of the body and self. Furthermore, he had a higher resistance to the power of the Quantum-Realm. Unfortunately, he soon frowned.
"This is not enough," he muttered. "My current power only equals the Immortal Venerable 1-Leaf."
Immediately, he knew what to do. He continued to absorb more [Concept] to sublimate himself. After an unknown amount of time, the incarnation felt his body sublimated to a new and indescribable level.
"Success," he muttered as his eyes lit up. "Could I continue to absorb?" Unfortunately, he did not have this thought for long as he sensed a terrifying Will waking up.
He frowned as he wondered what was with this change. However, he decided to play it safe as he did know the consequence of this Will, so he used the method given to him by Wei Enlai to return.
"How is it?" asked Wang Wei when he saw the incarnation. The latter did not answer but released a powerful aura. Although brief, Wang Wei could tell this aura was enough to kill him.
? "Excellent," he uttered. "Let's not waste time and fuse."
For safety reasons, he could do it inside this world in case Grand Dao appeared.
The process was not smooth for one reason: the Genetic Warrior System was technically another cultivation path, so it was slightly incompatible with the Origin System. Luckily, he faced this issue when creating the Eight Heterogeneity Foundation.
Boom!
A terrifying aura released from his body, cracking the formation he placed around. Wang Wei felt a sublimation as his power reached another level.
"I feel invincible: Is this the power of a Great Emperor?" He suddenly felt the urge to destroy this entire world with one attack before recreating it. He immediately reigns in his arrogance through his mighty Dao Heart.
"The changes to the mind are a little scary," he commented. With his Dao Heart, he actually lost control of his power.
"No matter what, I succeeded."
Inside the secret room, Wang Wei checked the changes in his body. His soul was purified, which was the first time he felt a genuine difference in it. His Origin Essence and Divine Sea further expanded by an exponential factor.
Wang Wei clenched his hand and felt his True Power Dao also reach 19 Fiendgod Force–an increase of one.
"I'll take whatever small increase I can get," he commented before checking his Dao Tree.
"Purple Gold," he uttered. The entire thing had changed from the previous golden color to purple-gold.
"It makes sense, given my deep understanding of the law."
Wang Wei could not previously change his Dao Tree because of the limitation of Heaven and Earth. And even after the Science and Technology World–a separate piece of Heaven and Earth–he still could not remove this limitation.
But now, after going beyond the Nine Extremity Foundation, he has broken this limitation.
Wang Wei exhaled, "After countless years, consistent effort, and numerous trials and tribulations, I've finally reached this step."
After acquiring Great Emperor strength, he took a significant step in his cultivation. However, it was not enough. He was still immortal and had not escaped the shackles of life and death.
"I wonder what the mystery of this Quantum Realm is and that mighty Will," muttered Wang Wei, remembering his experience inside. Everything was dark, with only a few luminous spots, which were the [Concept].
The entire realm gave him a sense of boundless, eternal, noble, and supreme.
"It felt like it was one of the modules of the universe similar to the River of Time or the River of Fate. Maybe, a combination of all of them."
Wang Wei suddenly remembered two quotes from his previous life: "All path leads to the same destination," and "the end of science is theology or Goodhood."
"Science & Technology and cultivation are different ways to achieve the same thing. Once science develops to a sufficient level, it will enter the domain of "God," capable of achieving fantasy or unscientific things.
"Science has Order: water boils at a specific temperature and freezes at another, or an apple will fall after throwing into the air. The way the science universe operates is detailed and precise–as if it was designed as such.
"So, does the universe operates its Order on its own, or is there something maintaining that order like Grand Dao."
Wang Wei suddenly remembered that terrifying Will waken up. "Is that the Science and Technology World's version of Grand Dao? Interesting. Maybe this world is still useful."
He decided to keep this world–despite the danger. In the future, he will provide them with the bodies of Empyreans and even Paragons to continue their research on the Quantum Realm. Maybe it will become useful one day.
Then, he focused on another thing. Since science and cultivation are different ways to achieve the same thing, what are they trying to achieve? What are their end goals?"
"Transcendence, or Detachment," muttered Wang Wei with bright eyes. He left his retreat and said a few words to Wu Feng and Wei Enlai before exiting.
The first thing that popped into his mind was to brag to his wife. Although he still could not defeat her, he could still show up. Unfortunately, his face suddenly changed as soon as he exited the secret realm.
A terrifying pressure came from the sky as a humongous eye suddenly manifested above the sky, gazing directly at him. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
'Shit, Grand Dao.'
Wang Wei was incapable of moving, and his thinking became extremely low as the eyes looked at him. And he was not the only one. All the people of the Dao Opening Sect felt this way. Luckily, the eye was directed at Wang Wei, so they did not directly face its power.
Meanwhile, Wang Wei felt powerless. All the excitement for achieving Great Emperor Strenght disappeared.
A few seconds later, the eye disappeared, but black clouds appeared above the sky.
'Tribulations? No, that's Divine Punishment.'
He swiftly waved his hand to activate the sect's Emperor Formation to protect the disciples and elders.
Bang!
A dark lightning bolt fell from the sky, and Wang Wei punched it. Unfortunately, he vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Is this a tribulation, or is it trying to kill me? Well, it does matter."
His fighting intent rose to the sky as he confronted the lightning and thunder. He fought for an entire weak, reaching the verge of death numerous times. However, he never used the sect's formation to help him.
Finally, the clouds disappeared, and Wang Wei floated in the sky. Well, at least, part of him. His lower body was gone, and he was missing his left arm. His face was full of blood, and most of his beautiful hair was burned.
"Not bad," he commented. "I should reach 20 Fiendgod Force after this baptism." Then, he frowned as his soul was also injured. However, the real trouble was this lightning was not easy to remove, meaning he could not rely on his natural regeneration to return to his peak face.
"Huh?" he muttered as some information entered his mind. "Mortal Emperor?" He knew he received the title of [Mortal Emperor] with many capabilities, including an increase in luck, destiny, and time to become comprehend [Existence].
'Can my luck even increase?' The answer he received was positive as he watched his Rainbow Colored Qi Luck Dragon turn white, devoid of any color.
"That's interesting," he commented before focusing on other benefits. He could live up to Nine Yuan Epoch and had one more life after proving the Dao.
"Nine Supremacy Foundation? Why do I feel something's wrong?" He frowned before making a divination to discover the truth of the universe. Then, he saw auspicious signs floating on the Western Continent about 200 years ago.
Although the divination appeared useless, he frowned as his mind worked rapidly, 'Did Di Tian achieve Ten Supremacy as well?' He already theorized this was possible after seeing the latter's reservation when meeting him.
'Assuming that's true, why did he receive auspicious signs, and I almost die through a Tribulation? Is it because I used a taboo, and he used an acceptable method? Wait, how did he do it in the first place? That's not important for now, so let's focus.'
His mind continued to work as he calculated infinite possibilities, 'There is another possibility. He was the first to achieve Ten Supremacy, and Grand Dao rewarded him.
'As for my tribulation, it's most likely because I was second and because I used a taboo.'
Wang Wei believed Grand Dao sensed the presence of another Mortal Emperor, but it could not determine how he achieved this state. So, it checked Wang Wei and realized he used a taboo.
'I never believed I could hide the Science and Technology World from a being like Grand Dao. The best explanation for my current situation is whatever means Hongjun used gave me a unique status–the status that I was worthy of intervening in things like taboo to a certain extent.'
By that train of thought, Grand Dao discovered he used a taboo to become a Mortal Emperor, so it gave him a punishment or a trial for his discretion. In the future, people who become Mortal Emperor will have to undergo Tribulation, but it won't be as bad as Wang Wei's situation.
"Come with me," suddenly said a melodious voice.
"Elder Sword?" muttered Wang Wei before opening a portal and leaving. Soon, he saw Sword One and Origin One waiting for him with an elderly man with sage-like features and a faint smell of medicine.
"Elder Dan," saluted Wang Wei with his head.
"Sect Master, there is no need for pleasantries with your current state," said the elderly man with deep respect in his voice. "You only need to relax, and I'll fix you."
"Thank you."
"It is my honor," replied Elder Dan with worship in his eyes. He had witnessed a miracle: a mortal with the power of a Great Emperor. No one would believe such a thing, but he experienced it with his own eyes.
Better yet, he will heal such a legend.
Despite living for so long, Elder Dan could not control his emotions for a while, and only after hearing Sword One's soft cough that he immediately heal Wang Wei's injuries.
With a wave of his hand, a green light full of life and vitality appeared in his hand. He infused it into Wang Wei's head, healing his cracked skull and regrowing his brain.
The previous Wang Wei could never bare such a tremendous amount of energy. But it was different now.
Then, he slowly regrew Wang Wei's fleshly body and refilled his Divine Sea; he even healed Wang Wei's Primordial Spirit. Wang Wei's Law Altar and Dao Tree contained the power of [Nothingness], so it survived in the void; this saved him from re-cultivating and condensing it again.
The entire process took them three days.
"It took so much energy," commented Elder Dao with bright eyes. "I've healed some of your hidden injuries in the process."
"Thank you," nodded Wang Wei. As a body refiner, it's normal to have hidden injuries in the process of destroying and reconstructing the flesh.
"You should show your face to disciples outside," said Origin One. "There are already rumors you're dead: you need to stabilize the situation before people start panicking."
Too many people placed their hopes and dreams on Wang Wei's rise. So, even rumors of his death made many people nervous and panicked.
So, he nodded before asking, "I forgot to hide my aura during the tribulation."
Wang Wei wanted to hide his strength to prevent trouble. Di Tian should figure out his breakthrough after learning of his tribulation. However, he was more worried that the other factions would become desperate once they learned about his Emperor's Strength.
"Don't worry. We hid your aura and placed a ban on the sect. No one can leave or enter until the final battle," replied Sword One, who also understood the horror of people who were desperate.
"That's good." Wang Wei was too occupied with the tribulation, so he did not have time to be so careful.
"Alright, I'll go appease the sect."
He left the sect to prepare a small event with the disciples to show them he was healthy and alive.
Should we tell him?" asked the Steward, who suddenly appeared next to Origin One and Sword One.
"No," replied Origin One.
"But we finally see hope. What if he fails because of such a small thing."
"Then he fails," added Sword One, with a calm demeanor. "If he cannot overcome this tribulation, then his destiny is not enough to become an Emperor."
"Isn't our existence to protect him from things like this?" he argued, feeling unwilling.
"Our actions will be considered interfering if we told him," added Origin One.
"I'm sure we can pay the price." The Steward did not want such a legendary character as the sect master to die even though they could have prevented it.
Sword One and Origin One remained quiet for a few seconds. Indeed, Wang Wei's recent monumental achievement was worth it for them to take the risk.
"Have you guys forgotten the founders' two primary teachings," suddenly said Hell Judgment.
"Be cruel when cultivating geniuses and let things take their course," muttered Sword One. Because of these rules, they had to hide the method of condensing the Three Flowers on the Crown and only allow their sect's Heaven Chosen to cultivate it after experiencing their Dao Foundation being broken.
And according to the founder, they can artificially create an event that leads to such destruction; this meant these ancestors would have found a way for Wang Tian and Wang Wei to experience having their Dao Foundation broken.
The second teaching was the main reason the Dao Opening Sect is usually low-key when doing things. It's also the reason they have not broken the Nine Emperor Curse. Otherwise, if they decided to cultivate an Emperor at all costs, Heavenly Dao would not be able to stop them.
However, Qiyuan warned them about letting destiny take its course regarding certain things. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Judgment is right," said Origin One. "We will not intervene and let him deal with the situation himself."
After dealing with the sect's disciples, Wang Wei visited his parents. He saw his father look at him with excitement, pride, satisfaction, and many other emotions.
"You really succeeded?" asked Wang Tian
"I did."
"Good, good, good."
"Who cares about these things," said Yu Yan as she rushed to hold her son. "How are you? Are you still injured? Are you in pain?"
"I'm fine. Elder Dan fixed me better than ever."
"That's good," nodded Yu Yan in relief. Then, she gritted her teeth, "Danm Heavenly Dao. How dare it strike my son?"
"Heavenly Dao?"
"I thought your relationship had improved after becoming an Era Son," added Wang Tian, shaking his head. Wang Wei frowned as he thought of something. He used his Divine Sense to contact his ancestors and secretly read the mind of a few disciples.
'So, that's how it is. The Mortal saw Heavenly Dao, and the Immortals saw True Heavenly Dao. I guess maybe only me and Wu Hong saw Grand Dao.'
Wang Wei did not think this was a coincidence or that these people could not recognize the eye of Grand Dao. As a near omnipresent being, anyone will immediately recognize Grand Dao after laying eyes on it.
'Maybe even the Two Suns did not detect its presence,' thought Wang Wei with envy; he was jealous of Grand Dao's power.
'One day, I'll be able to stand toe-to-toe with it and even transcend it.'
He spent some time with his family before returning to meet his ancestors. Wang Wei wanted to test his power with an Insurgent on par with a Third Class Emperor.
"Are you Supreme Elder Wang Lin?" asked Wang Wei, looking at the elderly man dressed in all black before him. Technically speaking, all the ancestors hold the position or title of Supreme Elder. However, because there were no True Monarchs and Quasi-Emperors in the previous generation, Wang Chong's generation became Supreme Elders, and Sword One became Ancestors.
"Sect Master, please," saluted Wang Lin with great respect.
"We will start with 5-Root strength before raising our power to Third Class."
Wang Wei wanted to use this training to get acquainted with his strength. While fighting the tribulation, he discovered he did not have absolute control of his power as he once had.
"As you wish."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Wang Wei fought with all his efforts against Wang Lin, using all his powers to the best of his abilities. During this fight, he rapidly adapted to his newfound strength. He spent the next month constantly fighting and adapting.
"Supreme Elder Wang, what do you think of my power?" asked Wang Wei.
"Your Soul Quantity and Purity reached the Emperor Level. Your Origin Essence was elevated to the level of close to Insurgent Qi. Although your body did not reach the Emperor Level, you can still use the cooperation of Essence, Qi, and Spirit to support high-level battles.
"Finally, your Law reached the level of Dao Ancestor's Grand Source Dao."
Dao Ancestors can borrow the power of the Grand Dao Source, so it made sense his Law reached their levels. However, Wang Wei frowned.
"Is there something?" asked Wang Lin.
"No, nothing," replied Wang Wei. "I wonder how you became an Insurgent?" During this month, he tried to figure it out but was unsuccessful
"I had a fortunate encounter and fused my Inner World with a special Chaos Talisman."
"It seems you're a man of great fortune."
"Maybe."
Wang Wei did not ask any further since he knew there were too many wonders in this world. "Is your strength only limited to 5% Gran Dao Source?"
"No, I can fight Emperors with 9%."
"You only use 5% in our battle, right?"
"That's correct."
"Alright, I want to experience the power of 6%."
Wang Lin immediately hesitated.
"I only want to experience the difference."
"Okay."
Wang Wei gathered all his strength. Furthermore, his state reached its peak.
Bang!
He crashed on the ground, on the verge of death. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"What does this scene look familiar," he muttered with a wry smile. One palm: he lost with one palm. And he could tell the Supreme Elder was not trying to kill him. Otherwise, he would be in a worse situation.
'The difference one 1% is so vast.' He sighed.
He activated his regeneration and said, "Let's try again. This time, I will use an Emperor Artifact."
With his current strength, he could use more power from the artifact. As such, he barely survived the battle with 6% Grand Dao Source. However, Wang Wei was not happy about this achievement since Wang Lin did not use an Emperor Artifact or any weapons for that matter. Furthermore, the latter was not trying to kill him and had many reservations.
Then, he tried different methods of fighting higher percentages. Wang Wei used more than one Artifact, using the resonance between them to utilize more power. He burned his fleshly body, energy, soul, and life span to increase his battle prowess. He even used his Willpower to the best of his ability.
With all these methods, he gathered enough data on the battle prowess of the Third Class Emperor. Of course, he had to make multiple visits to Elder Dan due to his madness. Luckily, the latter did not mind and seemed excited to heal him.
Finally, Wang Wei left to see his beautiful wife.
"Wife, I'm home," he yelled.
"Lower your voice," said Wu Hong. "Don't you know your current status?"
"Who cares," replied Wang Wei as he embraced her. Wu Hong looked him up and down. "You actually succeeded?"
"I did. But why do you sound like you were not confident in me."
"I knew you would succeed, but I thought your science and technology method would have failed, and you would have to find another way."
Wu Hong was proud of her man and knew he had the intelligence, ingenuity, and resources to succeed in anything he placed his mind to–even if it was something that no one had ever achieved before.
"I had a few plan Bs if this method failed. But now that I think about it, the chances of succeeding were minimal," replied Wang Wei. One of his plans B was to use the Insurgents and an Emperor Formation to access the Grand Dao Source and experience an earlier baptism; he wanted to use the power of the Grand Dao Source to break his limit.
However, a module like the Grand Dao Source is challengingly more strict than a place like the Quantum Realm. So, there is a high chance it would stop him and even lower Divine Punishment.
"Tell me your experience," said Wu Hong. Then, Wang Wei explained to her everything that had occurred.
"Truly a wonderful experience. The Quantum Realm seemed to have many secrets. It's a good idea to keep the world for the future," commented Wu Hong.
"Indeed."
"But you should also be careful. You don't know the objective of this Hongjun nor whether his protection will last forever."
"You make another good point," nodded Wang Wei.
"As long as you know. By the way, why do I feel you have some concern about your strength?"
"You caught that? You're right," said Wang Wei. "Ever since I made the breakthrough, I felt something was wrong; I felt like I was flawed."
"Flaw? Do you think there is a problem because you used a taboo?"
"No. Maybe 'flawed' is the wrong word," added Wang Wei as he paused for a moment. "A better way to explain would be, I'm missing something."
"What are you missing?"
"That's the thing: I can't think of it. I feel like the answer is on the tip of my tongue, but I cannot think of it."
Wu Hong frowned; Wang Wei's current situation was new territory for her. After all, no one had ever achieved Ten Supremacy Foundation before this generation. So, she had nothing to reference; her vast knowledge and experience were not helpful in the current situation.
"I think I'm having my first cultivation bottleneck," Wang Wei said with a frown, slightly annoyed he could not figure out what he lacked--especially since the things seemed in the back of his mind. Most cultivators will experience Bottlenecks in their lives; it often prevents even the most brilliant Heaven Chosen from reaching a higher realm or cultivating some magical technique.
The worse thing about bottlenecks is that the most stupid reasons could prevent cultivators from succeeding at their cultivation. For example, what Wang Wei is missing could be something extremely obvious or obscure, like one specific memory he experienced back on Earth.
"If it's a bottleneck, there are two ways to deal with it: slowly grind and succeed through time, or wait for a moment of enlightenment. In your situation, you have to use the second method."
"You're right–especially since I don't have much time," replied Wang Wei as he took his Entrance Token for the Heaven Will Battle. While testing his strength, he received the news from Heavenly Dao that the final battle was only 500 years from now.
"Let's go on a vacation with just the two of us," said Wu Hong. "You can calm down and refresh your mind. With such a state of mind, you have a higher chance of becoming enlightened and dealing with your bottleneck."
"That's a good idea. Let me deal with a few things before leaving."
"Okay."
"I suddenly remember I have a few things to ask you: Firstly, do you know how Di Tian achieved his Mortal Emperor Status?"
"My guess is he used a Limit Breaker."
"What a cool name," commented Wang Wei. "The name tells me what it does, but can you be more specific?"
"Limit Breaker is a rare Primordial Chaos treasure often fought for by Paragons and Fiendgods. Fiendgods often use it to break through the limit of their bloodlines, while Paragons use it to break through the limit of their talent, soul, or even Grand Dao Source."
"You can break the limit of Grand Dao Source?"
"It's not as grandiose as it sounds," added Wu Hong. "After reaching the peak of 100% Grand Dao Source, it's impossible to increase strength unless a person cultivates the True Power Dao Realm, using a powerful artifact or cultivating unique techniques.
"With the Limit Breaker, a peak Paragon can increase the strength of their Grand Dao Source."
"Such a treasure would greatly benefit someone like you."
"Indeed," replied Wu Hong. She is the kind of Paragons who truly reached the peak of power in the world, with no signs or possibility of improvement. "I tried to get my hands on a Limit Breaker, but I never succeeded."
"So, it's that rare?"
"Yes."
"Then, how did Di Tian gets his hand on one?"
"I think he receives Empyrean Nine Pillar's legacy," replied Wu Hong. She once searched all types of information about the Limit Breaker. And the result was the last person in the Eternal Ascension World to have a Limit Breaker was Empyrean Nine Pillar.
So, she searched through the River of Time for information about the latter.
However, after her research, Wu Hong learned this rumor was most likely spread by Nine Pillar's enemy to use outside aid to kill him. Furthermore, Empyrean Nine Pillar disappeared and was most likely dead.
"Empyrean Nine Pillar?"
"A very talented individual–even compared to me. However, he was obsessed with reaching the so-called Ten Supremacy Foundation and dedicating countless Yuan Epochs to researching it. If luck were not against him, he probably would have survived."
"Lucky bastard," said Wang Wei with gritted teeth. He created an entire world of science and technology, got involved in another taboo, created or inspired another cultivation path, and spent millions of years cultivating talented scientists and developing technology. Only then did he succeed, but Di Tian was lucky to find someone who did all the work for him.
"Life is unfair; you should know this by now," reassured Wu Hong.
"Whatever," exhaled Wang Wei. "Do you know about my white luck?"
"Paragon's Luck," she said calmly.
"I have the luck of a Paragon?"
"Becoming a Paragon is not as simple as you think," added Wu Hong. "You need a Paragon Soul, 90% Grand Dao Source, Dao Heart, Paragon Luck, Destiny, and other things. So, many people in the Eternal Ascension World will find ways to increase their luck and gather enough destiny before breaking through."
"I see. So, I don't have to worry about Luck to become a Paragon?"
"You are an Era Son. As long as you accomplish whatever destiny Heavenly Dao gave you, your luck will turn half or completely white."
"Is it depends on how well the destiny is accomplished?"
"Yes," nodded Wu Hong before suddenly remembering something, "Didn't your ancestor tells you information about all the cultivation realm? Why are you asking me?"
"They sealed all information about Empyrean and above to not influence me," he replied, shaking his head. "I'm guessing it will be removed after I prove the Dao."
"That's not necessarily a bad thing. With your personality, you would probably be planning and worrying about your breakthrough into the Paragon Realm while you're still a little mortal."
"Mortality, huh," muttered Wang Wei. In the eye of these big shots, his intelligence, wit, cunningness, wisdom, tactical mind, and talent means nothing if he cannot prove the Dao. Ultimately, he will always be a mortal with a short lifespan, stuck in the cycle of reincarnation.
If he does not escape the shackles of death, his memories will be wiped out after countless reincarnations, losing his True Self and becoming someone else.
"Is this the power of Reincarnation? The Immortal Essence of Immortal Tier powerhouse is not only their infinite lifespan but also their [True Self]. No matter how many reincarnations they experience, they will never lose their memories or become someone else. Their memories might be temporarily sealed, but once they awaken their memories, they will instantly return to their old self."
Wang Wei raised his hand to manifest his Samsara Dao, "If the power of Reincarnation is strong enough, could I kill the True Self of an Immortal?"
Wang Wei's eyes brightened as he developed the prototype of a new technique. Then, he exhaled, feeling his mind refresh.
"Your Ten Supremacy Foundation is not as simple as I thought," commented Wu Hong with surprise in her eyes.
"What do you mean?"
"Your True Self Enlightenment is part of the [Existence] you have to understand to become an Everlasting Empyrean. Yet, you've caught a glimpse into it while still being a mortal and skipping the Eternal Emperor aspect."
"Is that so? Well, you should already know how awesome I was." Wang Wei guessed the Ten Supremacy Foundation involved the concept of breaking limits--including the fact people cannot comprehend [Existence] on their own. Of course, he knew there must limit to this ability.
"It seems that part of the power of your Paragon Soul has been activated after you became a Mortal Emperor," she added with jealousy. She is a genius born with unparallel comprehension. However, to reach the level of a Paragon Soul, she had to consume countless unique and powerful Heaven and Earth treasures.
But this bastard was born with such a talent.
'Well, I know he technically earned it, but I'm still mad,' thought Wu Hong before suddenly biting him.
"Ow, why did you do that for?"
"Because I felt like it."
Wang Wei was speechless but was then distracted by something. Her teeth easily broke his mighty skin.
'What if one day, while doing our night activities, she accidentally bites? Wouldn't I suffer?' He trembled with fear as he imagined that scene; he would not survive such a situation even with his Willpower.
"You're thinking something stupid again?" she asked with flaring anger in her eyes.
"Wife, you cannot accuse me of things I did not do," said Wang Wei with a flattering smile. "By the way, I always wanted to ask: have you ever fought the Sword Empress? If so, who won?"
Wu Hong gave him a look, knowing he was trying to change the subject and appease her anger.
"We fought once. I won by a small margin."
? "Oh, my ancestor is so powerful?"
"Her attacks are unparallel."
"Why do I feel a but coming?"
"The battle was only a competition," added Wu Hong. "In a life and death battle, she won't survive long in my hands."
"Because of her weak body?"
"Yes. If I want to kill her by exchanging injuries for injuries, I will win, and she will die." She had the utmost confidence in that statement.
"But now she will temper her body, presumably become an Inextinguishable Paragon. How can you defeat her now?"
"I will be fine." There are differences between Inextinguishable Paragons. However, this is not the primary reason for her confidence. Although Yan Ai will reach the final realm of Sword Dao after tempering her body, her main body also has her opportunity.
After her injury and falling down in cultivation realm, she will take this opportunity to reinforce her foundation. So, once Sword Empress returned to her peak, her strength would only be on par with the main body–if not still a little weaker.
'Plus, I have the Perfect Foundation,' Wu Hong thought, full of confidence.
