Chapter 1 - 23

Chapter 519 Devil Whisper

Wang Wei had dinner with his family before preparing to relax in the next few days, waiting for the opening of the Secret Realm he divined would help him in his resources gathering.

Then, he took out a special jug from his space ring, and immediately after opening it, an enchanting wine smell spread out from his mountain throughout the entire sect.

Many disciples and Elders looked in his direction while swallowing their saliva; they could feel that this wine would be delicious and highly beneficial for cultivation.

Wang Wei took a sip before closing his eyes in intoxication. After a few sips, he could feel his Gourmet Cell talent activated and his fleshly body's strength increased by 5 Dragon Force.

He used state-of-the-art modern technology to brew this wine before adding Innate Qi in the final process. Then, he used the Innate Time Treasure to age this wine by at least 250,000 years.

"Not bad, but let's wait how you will taste after half a million years and more."

He looked in the distance to see Li Jun flying over to his mountain and waving his hand to activate the mountain's formation; he won't share it with anyone today.

Ignoring Li Jun's cry of unfairness or his attempt to contact him through a talisman, Wang Wei took a few more sips and increased his fleshly body's power.

Then, when he prepared to put the wine away, he suddenly stopped as he sensed something. He activated his Soul Network Divine Ability and went straight to the Martial Supreme World Community.

"Did I find something? Finally."

Wang Wei has been using his ability to search for people in the Martial Supreme World who could give him a few more innate treasures. He targeted people from an Emperor Lineage since there are more likely to access such a treasure level.

His focus was not on Heaven Chosens but on people who failed to acquire the position. The only downside is he has to wait for these people to leave the confinement of their sect since his ability cannot access their souls when protected by Immortal-Tier Arrays.

Inside the Mind Palace that he created for the Soul Network Ability, he focused on a particular soul.

"Song Jinyuan, Second Son of the Song Family, a Martial Art Clan with four Great Emperors. He previously lost the title of First Son to an unparalleled genius that appeared from the branch clan. Nevertheless, he refuses to accept defeat and constantly challenges the first son.

"But after too many defeats, the latter has become his Heart Demon. Perfect."

"Where is this?" muttered Song Jinyuan as he looked around with vigilance. One moment he was waiting for the beginning of the Sword City Martial Art Conference; the next, his soul was forcibly called to this place.

He looked around to notice he was in this dark place, sitting on a cushion with an older man sitting opposite him. He immediately frowned as he could not detect any aura or cultivation from the man opposite him.

However, since the latter could draw his soul into this place under the nose of his Dao Protector and the City Lord of Sword City, he might be an Immortal powerhouse, or at the very least, a Quasi-Emperor.

"Junior Song Jinyuan has seen senior."

"Calm and collected: not bad," replied Wang Wei in an old fashion way of speaking, as if seizing out a junior. "I won't beat around the bush: Do you want to beat Song Dusheng?"

"Senior, what do you mean?"

"I will temporarily give you the power to defeat him."

Song Jinyuan frowned before hesitating: "Senior, what do you want from this junior?"

"It's good to talk to smart people. I want innate spiritual herbs."

Song Jinyuan looked shocked; he did not expect this senior to be so straightforward.

"Hey, lad, you don't understand how hard it is for us Loose Immortal Cultivators. Without background, we must find our own resources," Wang Wei said with a sad sigh.

A look of understanding flashed across Song Jinyuan's face. Then, he smiled embarrassedly, "Senior--"

"I know you cannot access innate resources as the second son." freewebnoveℓ.com

Song Jinyuan clenched his fists after hearing this.

"Here's what we'll do. I will lend three of them to you. Then you challenge the first son for three innate treasures as a bargaining price. After you use my power to defeat him, you will return them."

"I accept," said Song Jinyuan, without hesitation.

"Oh, don't you want to think it over for a while? I don't mind waiting."

"No need."

He did think of buying some time to tell his family about this encounter–especially since the latter is nothing but a loose cultivator. However, he decided otherwise after thinking about how even the Immortal Supreme Elders in the clan are now on Song Dusheng's side.

All that matters is to defeat his enemy and deal with the current Heart Demon.

"Excellent. Sign the contract, and we can begin."

Song Jinyuan was not surprised he needed to have some restrictions placed on him. So, he read every detail of the contract before signing it with his soul.

"How do you want to defeat Song Dusheng?"

"Senior, what do you mean?"

"Do you want to use an invincible power and defeat him with one punch? Or, have a hearty battle with him before defeating him at the last minute. Better yet, suppress him throughout the entire battle."

Song Jinyuan instinctively wanted to choose the first option. But he realized that doing so would invite more questions from his family. So, he decided to select the second one. However, thinking about all the misery and suffering he endured in the past thousand years, he said:

"I choose the third option."

Wang Wei smiled before waving his hand to condense two things: a talisman and a drop of blood.

"Senior, this is?"

"Both will give you the power to defeat your opponent. If you choose the talisman, your family will know it was the result of outside aid; they will label your victory as the result of a fortunate encounter.

"However, if you choose the blood and absorb it, they will think it is your strength."

Song Jinyuna clenched his teeth. He knew the correct answer was the talisman, but he could not remove his eyes from the blood.

"I-I choose the blood."

"Young lad, think wisely. The power is only temporarily."

"Senior, I have made my choice."

"As you wish."

The blood drop floated before him, and Song Jinyuna swallowed it.

"Senior, can I only use the power one time?"

"That's correct."

"Could you make it so I can use it multiple times?"

"Why?"

"Song Dusheng will participate in the upcoming Martial Art Conference, and I want to defeat him in front of everyone during the final. However, I know I don't have the strength to reach the final, while he has a great chance."

"I see. I will allow the blood to release some power whenever you face an opponent beyond your means; this should allow you to reach the final."

Wang Wei paused before waving his hand and condensing another talisman.

"This is a Luck Manipulation Talisman. Wearing it will prevent you from meeting Song Dusheng before the final. It will even allow all the most powerful competitors to meet in advance, forcing them to eliminate one another."

Song Jinyuan excitedly took the talisman before bowing to the senior and leaving this space. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in the residence allocated to the Song Clan.

He sensed the power rushing threw his veins and felt intoxicated for a moment.

'Song Dasheng, you wait for me.'

Then, Song Jinyuan watched the competition unfold with awe. All the famous Heaven Chosens or Seeded Player of this competition would miraculously pick each other as opponents.

Meanwhile, he and Song Dasheng would also pick powerful opponents, but not ones they could not defeat after some efforts. Then, the two finally reached the final, which surprised all the older generations watching.

According to the plan, Song Jinyuan taunted his opponent before asking to raise the stake for three innate treasures. Song Dasheng–with the utmost confidence in himself–readily accepted the offer and even signed the contract.

Then, Song Jinyuan maltreated him during this fight. With the drop of blood containing 70% of Wang Wei's strength, he gave his opponent a beating he would never forget in his entire life.

Song Jinyuan gave back all the pain and suffering he endured in the past thousand years. If a Song Clan Elder did not remind him, he might have tried to kill Song Dasheng.

After winning the competition, Song Jinyuan received his prize before his clan's elder interrogated him about his sudden strength gain. He only said he had a fortunate encounter recently that improved his strength; no one doubted him as this was common.

Although the strength gain was quite significant, it was not out of the realm of acceptance.

Then, a slight issue arose about the three innate treasures that Song Dasheng promised. A few elders argued there was no need to abide by the agreement since this was a battle between juniors.

However, under Song Jinyuan's insistence and threatening to destroy Song Dasheng's soul according to the contract, the clan finally agreed. Of course, the main reason for his success is that some of the elders who did not like that a branch member was this generation's Heaven Chosen intervened and took his side.

"Senior, here are the innate treasures."

Wang Wei smiled before receiving his reward. He checked the three new ones: two of them could be used to temper his incarnation's skin and muscle. However, the third one was of the thunder attribute.

'It doesn't matter. I can exchange with the sect for one of the five elements.'

"You seem distraught. What's the issue?" asked Wang Wei.

"I think some of the Supreme Elders are suspicious of my strength. Senior, please help me?"

Wang Wei frowned slightly after hearing this. He did not think his method could hide from an Immortal powerhouse. However, he also understood the concept of returning customers.

As such, although he could abandon Song Jinyuan since he already got what he wanted, it could come in handy in the future to help him now.

"Alright, I'll help you one last time."

He gave him another drop of blood which would temporarily fuse with his body and make it look as if Song Jinyuan had acquired a new bloodline, hence the reason for his sudden strength gain.

Then, he took out the talisman Wu Hong gave him and used his power to seal and remove any trace that this power was foreign or artificial. So, even if a Dao Ancestor checked Song Jinyuan's body, they would not find anything abnormal.

"Remember, the blood will disappear after your Supreme Elder check."

Song Jinyuan nodded, albeit his face was full of disappointment. After bowing, he exited the space.

Chapter 520 Chat Group

Wang Wei looked at the innate treasures in his hand and a smile. He decided to use this scheme one more time before stopping. After all, the Martial Supreme World was a Heaven Will World; he knew some beings could detect his actions if he continued.

'While I wait for the customer to return, let's begin with plan B.'

He activated his Soul Network Ability again and searched for Sons of Destiny in the Martial Supreme World. Unfortunately, based on his divination, there might not be one.

It was understandable as most Sons of Destiny appeared once a world was in great danger. The ones with this title without accomplishing anything in return are scarce.

So, after searching for a few days, Wang Wei decided to take another approach. He searched for individuals with high cultivation talent, Willpower, and a decent state of mind but whose luck was terrible.

In the world of cultivation, more often than not, luck is more important than even talent. Someone might be talented, but because of their poor luck, they are never discovered by a cultivation sect or faction.

Or even after starting cultivation, they encountered a battle between True Monarchs and died while going out for the first time outside the sect. Most sects will not give all their resources to someone, so without fortunate encounters, these types of people cannot cultivate peacefully.

In most Heaven Will Worlds, Emperor Lineage, Supreme Land, and even Holy Lands will not accept disciples with poor Qi Luck–no matter how talented they are unless the sect is willing to go to extreme lengths to reverse that disciple's fate.

After a few hours of searching, Wang Wei found many individuals, but he picked 5, each from a different Great Thousands World. Then, he summoned them to the Mind Palace.

An older man with a slight medicinal herb scent appeared in a grey space. Although confused, his years of experience made him quickly calm down before assessing the situation.

He found himself sitting on a table with a label: The Doctor.

He frowned slightly before looking around and noticing four other people who appeared as confused as him, despite a few trying to hide it. He looked at the label before each of them:

The Butcher, the Scholar, the Mad King, and the Assassin.

The Doctor could analyze some information just by these names or titles. The room remained quiet for a few minutes as everyone secretly observed one another.

However, he decided it would be best to ask questions to figure out what was happening. Nevertheless, before he could say anything, he sensed something as he detected another presence.

It was a handsome young man with grey hair and eyes. And the moment the Doctor laid eyes on him, he seemed to have witnessed his fate and the fate of his entire world. But upon closer look, it was as if nothing occurred.

"Welcome; you can call me the Lord of Destiny. If any of you do not wish to be here, you can say so, and I will return you to where you came from."

No one said anything but looked at each other.

"Sir Immortal, I mean Lord of Destiny, can you first tell us why we are here?" the Doctor asked with great courage.

"No problem. All of you here are people born with great talent, wisdom, Willpower, and even cultivated a decent state of mind. Unfortunately, fate did not favor you and did not bless you with any luck. So, you're destined to be ordinary mortals your entire life."

The others remained calm, but the Mad King and the Butcher reacted. The latter clenched his hands tightly underneath his chair while the Mad King looked at Wang Wei with uncontrollable madness in his eyes.

"As you can expect, I will give you a chance to change your fate. However, nothing is free in this world. If you accept my offer, know you will immediately owe me two innate treasures."

"Sir, what if we refuse?" asked the Doctor.

"I will send you out without any memories of today's encounter."

Everyone remained quiet, thinking about their decision.

"I have a more important question, Sir. What is an innate treasure?" asked the scholar.

"I forgot most of you don't know anything about the cultivation world."

Wang Wei snapped his finger, and basic knowledge of cultivation appeared in their minds: including the cultivation realms, the classification of treasures, pills, talismans, and arrays, and even the classification of worlds.

With this knowledge, these five finally understood how high of debt they would undertake. There is the possibility that their entire world did not have a single innate treasure.

"I agree," said the mad king, without hesitation.

"Me as well," added the Butcher. Then, the remaining three accepted the offer after a few minutes of pondering.

"Excellent," commented Wang Wei before waving his hand to hand each of them a contract. And after they signed it, he smiled before giving them a booklet.

"The core issue that you all face is the lack of luck. This [Luck Stealing Art] is a secret technique that will allow you to steal the luck of others to supplement yours."

After hearing this, the Doctor and the Scholar frowned, while the others tried to hide their excitement.

"Sir, do we have to steal other people's luck?" asked the Doctor. He has spent his entire life treating people and does not want to harm anyone if he does not have to.

"Yes," replied Wang Wei. "The cultivation world is cruel; if you do not step on others, they will step on you. Now, if you have reservations about using this technique, you can always target criminals.

"I will warn you: this technique will eventually create a backlash from Heavenly Dao. So, be on the lookout for that and ask for help when necessary."

With Wang Wei's understanding of the Laws of Luck, he realized one of the reasons for Zhou Shu's death back in the Heavenly Profound Continent was the backlash of forcefully becoming the Son of Destiny.

"Second warning, this technique is free, but from now on, all techniques or resources exchanged from this place will require Karma Points, which you can acquire by exchanging resources and techniques from your home world."

Wang Wei paused to give them some time to process this information. He also injected into their minds the things they can exchange for Karma points, which include Luck, Lifespan, World Source, and other things.

"Since I am in a good mood, I will personally customize cultivation techniques for each of you. Let's begin with you, doctor: do you have any specific requirement?"

"As long as I can continue to save lives."

"In that case, a technique based on the Medicine Dao with the Five Elements at the core. I would add Yin and Yang, but you can't afford the price."

Wang Wei had many cultivation techniques from Zhen Chao, so he took one with the five elements and modified it to suit the doctor, while also adding a lot to his understanding of the human body and soul. As a powerful body refiner, he was also a great doctor.

"For this technique, you owe me 16 million Karma Points."

The Doctor looked at him, not knowing what to say.

"Don't be like that. I will give you the first three chapters, allowing you to cultivate the Divine Altar Realm. After that, you can change to another technique, but you still have to pay the price of the three chapters.

"Next is you, scholar. Any requirement?"

"My dream is to one day be like the Ancient Sages, suppressing demons with one word and saving all sentient beings."

"In that case, your technique would involve the Literary Spirit and Righteous Qi."

Wang Wei also modified a technique for him. His mother had studied the concept of Literary Spirit for the past thousand years to prepare for the plan to become Emperor. So, Wang Wei was quite knowledgeable on the subject.

As for Righteous Qi, it was connected to the concept of Literary Spirit. Furthermore, he learned a little from his battle with Bai Han.

"Your total is 12.6 million Karma Points. But like the doctor, you get the first three chapters for free. Next is the Mad King?"

" Lord of Destiny, I want the Great Sui Dynasty to be the only ruler of my world. I want all these sects to regret treating me like a puppet."

"So, you want to walk the path of Sovereign? That's easy. A total of 5 million Karma Point."

The mad king frowned after hearing this.

"Not satisfied?"

"If the price corresponds to the value, then I'm not satisfied," replied the mad king with determination.

"Well, who am I to stop you if you want to drown in debt? I will add the ability to summon an undead army only loyal to you, and a body refining techniques that require the use of luck called [The Sovereign Golden Body].

"Now, the price is 23 million Karma Point."

The Mad King smiled before readily accepting his technique.

"Now, the butcher. What do you want?"

"I want something based on emotions."

"Oh, since you like to kill people for fun, I thought you would want something related to killing."

As soon as he said these words, many people looked at the butcher with weird eyes, especially the Doctor, who looked disgusted.

"What I enjoy is the emotions released by my victims before their death; I don't care much for the act of killing."

"Very well. Your technique will be based on the Seven Emotions and Six Desires. Your total is 18 million Karma Points. Now, Assassin."

"Sir, what do you recommend?"

Everyone was slightly surprised by the female voice since Assassin covered her face with a hood and had a flat figure.

"I recommend either shadow or space attribute."

"Can I have both?"

"If you don't mind the debt."

She only nodded her head.

"Your total is 32 million Karma Points."

The mad kind frowned after hearing this. "Lord, I want to add more stuff to my technique."

Wang Wei's lisp twitched as he realized this king was truly mad; he wanted the most powerful or most expensive technique out of everyone, no matter the price.

"Fine, I'll add the power of Stars Acupoints into your technique for a new total of 54 million Karma Points."

The mad king nodded with a smile while everyone looked at him with weird eyes. But he did not care.

"Normally, we will not communicate in this manner, but in the form of Group Chats."

Everyone was confused, but Wang Wei waved his hand to dismiss them.

The mad king opened his eyes on his throne with a book in his hand. However, he paid no attention to it as some information had appeared in his mind. He closed his eyes again while concentrating; then, he saw something strange inside his mind:

Reversing Fate Group Chat.

Mad King: "Hello, my fellow Daoist."

Doctor: "What a strange method of communicating."

Scholar: "What's truly fascinating is we are communicating across Worlds."

Mad King: "Why aren't the others saying anything?"

Scholar: "They appeared to be online."

Mad King: "Forget them. Is the Lord present?"

Doctor: "If you focus on his name, it said he is offline."

Scholar: "For some reason, I feel relief."

Meanwhile, Wang Wei was watching this chat despite his status. However, he was currently breathing a little harder, with his complexion slightly pale. To appear more mysterious and powerful, he used Time Laws to create a time dilation to make these people's techniques.

So, although it appeared he did it instantly, it took him a few years to modify each technique.

'Alright, let's see what benefit these people will bring me. I should probably create a fake account to better communicate with them.'

Chapter 521 Success and Ambitions

Wang Wei took a few pills to recuperate, so his complexion improved after a few hours.

"My control of Time Law is not ideal. Otherwise, this technique should not take such a large toll on me."

After realizing this issue, he placed on top of his agenda to modify the [Force Controlling Skill] to apply to Laws, which was initially one of the primary purposes he created in the first place.

Then, he checked the conversation of these five but quickly lost interest when he realized there was nothing of significance. Nevertheless, he did notice that the Soul Network Ability required a high amount of Spiritual Power to constantly allow these five to communicate across worlds.

And since Wang Wei is from another World Community very far away, the expenditure on Spiritual Strength is even higher. Based on his calculation, the spiritual strength of at least 100 Quasi-Emperors burned every hour.

This number was not much for Wang Wei, but the ability would become a burden when he eventually had access to more World Communities. Luckily, as long as these five are not communicating, the ability can temporarily stop.

"This might be an issue," Wang Wei muttered before quickly thinking of a solution. He then refined a few Quasi-Emperor Tier soul magical artifacts to store his spiritual strength. The artifact will serve as the energy core of the Soul Network, and Wang Wei only needs to replenish it when needed.

A few days had passed while he refined the artifacts. Now, he began to ponder his next course of action. The techniques he created for these people were, in fact, incomplete.

Technically speaking, they can only be used until the Primordial Spirit Realm. Cultivation techniques from the Void Shattering Realm and above involved Law Comprehension.

They can help teach its user directly how to understand and control a specific law. However, most cultivators who want to reach the Quasi-Emperor Realm know only to use them as references.

After all, the comprehension of the predecessors is not necessarily beneficial to another person. Everyone is unique and understands the Laws in different ways.

'The sect has many Supreme Tier techniques with the Five Element Laws, so I can just copy and modify those. My mother created a few cultivation techniques of the same level regarding Literary Spirit and Righteous Qi, so the scholar's scripture has no problem.

'I've read the Shadow Ruler's Emperor Scripture, so all I have to do is add my understanding of Space Laws for the Assasin. I have a lot of Su Ya's understanding of emotions, so it should not take long to make the Butcher's scripture.

'The only remaining one is the Mad King's technique, which would take me longer. However, comprehension of Sovereign Laws should boost my [Emperor Words Are Law] ability.'

Wang Wei sighed, thinking it is not easy to swindle people. No, he meant to do business in this world. Luckily, he considered the waste of his personal time when charging these people.

His eyes then changed as he divined something:

"Five years until the Secret Realm opens. For me, that's a total of 540 years with the Future Buddha Self. More than enough time."

As he prepared to enter a short cultivation seclusion, he felt something before muttering: "So soon?" He closed his eyes to enter the Mind Palace before calling out Song Jinyuan's soul.

"Senior, you have to help me!"

Wang Wei calmly caressed his beard for a few seconds while looking at him.

"Kid, you should have expected this outcome."

"I know, and I accept my decision."

"Very well. What is the problem?"

"After meeting with the Supreme Elder, I used the excuse of entering seclusion to avoid suspicions for a while. However, Song Dasheng refused to accept his defeat; he kept spreading rumors throughout the clan that I cheated and challenged me to another duel.

"So, I release the news I would only accept his challenge if innate treasures are at stake. I thought he would back down for a while. But I don't know how he acquired another innate herb, but he's waiting for my challenge."

"Since another innate herb is on the line, I will be more than happy to help you."

"Senior, is there any way you could allow me to use your power for a lower price?"

Wang Wei gave him a gentle smile. "There is. You will tell your family that you have acquired a powerful bloodline. However, every time you use it, you lose 200,000 years of life span, which is the price for every drop of blood."

"What? Senior, isn't that a little too much?" frёewebnoѵēl.com

"Not at all. With my power, you could defeat all the Heaven Chosen of your world to gather resources and destiny. By then, your chances of proving the Dao would drastically increase.

"Of course, I would not recommend you do that since the chances of being discovered are extremely high."

Song Jinyuan's eyes lit up, "Could I use your power during the Heaven Will Battle?"

"Absolutely not. There are strict rules for Immortal cultivators intervening in the Heaven Will Battle of any World Community."

Song Junyuan was disappointed after hearing this; he thought he had found a way to immortality. However, Wang Wei did not care about his mood.

Technically speaking, since he is not an Immortal, there should be no problem with him intervening in another community's Heaven Will. After all, the number of Heaven Chosen like himself who could use their strength to forcibly alter the result of other communities Heaven Will Battle could be counted on one hand throughout the entire Endless Void.

Considering his status as Fateless, he might truly get away with doing such a thing. However, he did not want to risk it. It would be catastrophic if True Heavenly Dao decided to annihilate him or made him suffer backlash right before his Heaven Will Battle.

His chances of defeating Di Tian are yet to be determined in peak shape. If he was injured before the battle, he had no chance whatsoever.

"In that case, I accept your offer."

Wang Wei gave him a drop of blood before sending him back. Then, he watched the event unfold. Song Jinyuan made his opponent sign the contract for the innate herb, then explained to the latter the price of his bloodline and why he does not want to fight very often.

According to Song Jinyuan, he only had two opportunities to use his bloodline without repercussions, and now he was forced to use it on Song Dasheng.

The elders of the clan believed his explanation. Still, Song Dasheng remained skeptical until Song Jinyuan once again beat him an inch to his life without being able to retaliate a single time.

Every member of the Song Clan was again shocked by Song Jinyuan's fighting prowess and excited at the prospect of cultivating another Great Emperor in this generation, making the latter guilty of lying.

Unfortunately, he knew he was in too deep now and too late to back down. So, he feinted exhaustion before handing the herb to Wang Wei.

"Let's take some risks," he muttered before finding three other people from the Martial Supreme to scam as he did to Song Jinyuan. It took him a few days to search and divine the right person, but he succeeded.

The first two were more cunning than Song Jinyuan and chose the talisman. Nevertheless, he still acquired one innate herb from each of them for a total of 9.

The last individual was special. He was a True Monarch with a dying wife and needed a special Quasi-Emperor Tier Pill to save her. Unfortunately, after years of trying to save her, he was now poor.

He did not have many resources as a loose cultivator, and the herbs required to heal his wife were rare. So, Wang Wei made a deal with him.

There is a Forbidden Land in the Martial Supreme World full of spiritual herbs. And there are rumors of innate treasures deep inside. So, Wang Wei gave the man the power to reach deep inside.

He first searched for the material to refine the pill for his wife before heading into the inner area and taking two innate treasures. Unfortunately, an unknown power came out of nowhere and annihilated him soon after.

Wang Wei managed to get the two herbs and protect a piece of his soul. As a result, he sensed a terrifying gaze that locked him across World Communities.

But, he acted in time to surround him with Ancestor Wucheng and Wu Hong's aura, which forced the gaze to ignore him. Then, he refined the pill to save the third candidate's wife while also healing his soul.

As for what happens to him afterward, that's for his wife to worry about.

Inside his mansion, Wang Wei had a genuine smile on his face. Only four of his incarnation had all the resources needed for his cultivation, despite granting the resources to five of them.

That is because his father counted the resources he used to condense his new body as one. The upside is that the 9th reincarnation does not need any resources, so he only had to acquire four 4 of the incarnation.

Now, he finally acquired 10 innate treasures for one incarnation to temper their bodies, meaning he only had to gather for the remaining three. Considering how easy it was, Wang Wei suddenly became dangerously ambitious.

He wanted to know if he could absorb more than one innate herb for the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture.] Although this approach has not been accomplished before, it was worth trying.

And even if it was impossible, he wanted his main body to replace the innate herbs and materials with chaos-level ones. And maybe even a few other incarnations.

'Okay, let's be realistic. I may be able to do so for the main body but not for the incarnation.'

After forcefully controlling his ambitions, Wang Wei prepared to enter seclusion to make these scriptures and take this opportunity to reach the next stage of the Void Shattering Realm.

And right before he did so, he heard a voice in his mind:

"Kid, you really know how to cause trouble. Don't take such risks again. Understand?"

"Yes, Ancestor," Wang Wei replied out loud before bowing in one direction and entering his seclusion.

Meanwhile, Wang Wucheng watched him with a smile. He liked that this kid knew how to take calculated risks and when to retreat; he knew not to be blinded by his greed.

Chapter 522 Gu Xuan

After entering the seclusion, Wang Wei took a short time to complete the scriptures for the chat group. And in the process, he understood the Five Elements Law, Shadow Law, and Seven Emotions Six Desire Law.

He also took time to understand Pill Law, Talisman Law, Array Law, and Refinement Law. He wanted the lay the foundation to comprehend the Grand Dao Source of these professions so he could refine Emperor Pills or Emperor Talismans in the future.

Most Emperors have to nourish Quasi-Emperor Tier Pills with their Grand Dao Source to elevate them to the Emperor Tier. However, such Emperor Pills are not nearly as effective as genuine the ones refined with Pill Dao Grand Source.

Moreover, there are other advantages that he learned from Wu Hong. For example, Time Acceleration Arrays are useless against Immortal Tier cultivators unless it is some special or unique secret realms. But those would become useless after some point.

In the upper dimension, time is both useless and the most valuable thing. These immortal cultivators do not have to worry about their lifespan; however, they have to spend a ridiculous amount of time cultivating.

So, Time Acceleration Formation is the solution to their problem. Unfortunately, as higher beings, they have a resistance to mortal-level time-related formations or abilities.

However, Time Formation created by Immortal cultivators would require someone who cultivated the Array Dao to a very high level or someone who minored in Array Dao and cultivated Time Dao.

Any of these two requirements are incredibly scarce, so any Array Master who sets Time Formation are sought after in the upper dimension.

Another possible way to achieve the same result is have a Paragon who can bend space-time at will or travel through the River of Time like their backyard garden set up the formation.

Wang Wei wanted to set the foundation for the future and leave an Immortal Tier Time Formation for the Dao Opening Sect since it did not have one.

The Miscellaneous Emperor was the only Emperor who cultivated Array Dao as a minor Dao, but he did not cultivate Time Dao, so he did not leave one behind.

The sect has one of these unique secret realms with time acceleration, but most Immortal powerhouses are now immune to them after using them for so long. Moreover, this secret realm's time acceleration is not as much as they would have wanted.

After understanding these laws, Wang Wei underwent the Law Combination Process. Cultivators can combine different laws in the Law Foundation Stage to form others or evolve their laws.

For example, Fire Law could evolve into Pure Yang Law, Water Law into Pure Yin Law. Or, they could combine Mist Law, Cloud Law, and Tidal Wave Law into the higher form of Water Law.

Another example is Wu Hong's Sealing Law. In this stage, she combined Sealing Laws, Control Laws, Absorption Laws, Array Laws, and a small aspect of the Dao of Heaven: Knowledge Law.

As a result, her Sealing Law is both powerful and unique to her.

There are many possibilities in this cultivation stage, and cultivators usually take their time in this realm.

In this stage, Wang Wei combined the different laws based on his incarnations to create Fate Law: Luck, Destiny, Space-Time, Samsara, Order-Disorder, and Karma.

Once that was done, he used Yin-Yang Laws as the link to fuse his Fate Law with the Freedom Law, creating a unique Fate Law that encompassed both fatalism and free will.

Inside Wang Wei's Divine Sea: the moment he finished establishing his primary Law, the Law Seed shone with brilliant light before a small bud grew from the seed.

He knew he had officially entered the Law Body stage, a stage that Wang Wei felt was unnecessary, primarily to him. In this stage, the cultivator's law will nourish their bodies and soul to make them stronger.

However, since he is walking the path of True Power Dao, he cannot use any laws to increase the strength of his fleshly body. Nevertheless, this is not why he felt this stage was useless.

Wang Wei entered his space ring to test out something. His body suddenly grew to a size of over 300 meters.

His ancestor created the Law Body Stage by taking inspiration from the 9th cultivation stage of the Pre-Null Era; it even has the same name. In this stage, cultivators can make their bodies humongous, thus drastically increasing their strength, speed, and defense.

The reason Wang Wei found this thing useless is one; it was not as much a boost to him as he expected because of how strong his fleshly body was. Secondly, this technique becomes useless in the Supreme Realm because of the Dharma Body.

Even in the Saint Realm, people no longer use it since the Domain was stronger and more versatile.

Wang Wei theorized in the Ancient Emperor Era, the method of fighting was different than the current time. The ancient cultivators relied way more on the Law Body than modern ones.

Wang Wei canceled the technique and returned to his standard size. Then, he took out a copy of the ancient cultivation system that he had to read about the Law Body Realm; he was suddenly intrigued to know the difference.

"The Law Body is essentially the same as the Dharma Body."

Wang Wei thought the ancient cultivators could not walk the path of True Power Dao since they use laws for their fleshly bodies; he was wrong. They used Laws to reconstruct their bodies to be similar to Primordial Gods, while laws were used as a form of attack.

So, for ancient cultivators, the enormous body is their real body while the human-size one is them shrinking their bodies.

The reason Wang Wei said Law Bodies and Dharma Bodies were the same is in the Quasi-Emperor Realm after a cultivator fused their Dharma Body with their real body, the size of the Dharma Body they cultivated in the Supreme Realm is now their reals bodies as well.

In other word, the human-shape Wang Wei's grandfather always took is not his real body, but a shrink version he used to interact with ordinary people.

"I feel I will be huge," muttered Wang Wei. He knew his Dharma Body would be tall and powerful. If you add the other 8 Dharma Bodies of his incarnations and the Fiendgod bloodline he will cultivate after proving the Dao, he will undoubtedly be huge.

Wang Wei did not like the concept of fighting with a huge body. Instead, he preferred when his small frame displayed terrifying power that seemed abnormal compared to his size.

Nevertheless, it was inevitable.

"Hmm," he uttered while looking in one direction. "Is it already time?"

He disappeared before appearing floating above the sect's sky. Looking in the distance, he saw a golden light that pierced the heavens.

"What's this? A secret realm opening?" asked Li Jun, who had just arrived.

"It seems quite arrogant, announcing its existence in the entire world like this," commented Yan Liling. "But, does it belong to someone? Some Emperor, perhaps?"

"It belongs to Gu Xuan," said Li Jun.

"How do you know?" she asked.

"This thing is not even trying to hide."

Yan Liling frowned before using her hand to calculate the secret of the heavens.

"You're right; it's not even trying to hide its existence."

"The Deceiving Heaven Longevity Art," said Li Jun as he looked in the distance. "According to rumors, it is a Dao scripture that can allow a Quasi- Emperor to have a lifespan of over 90 millions years. Who would not want it?"

"That's not the real value of this scripture," said Wang Wei.

"Oh, is there some kind of secret?"

"You know that Gu Xuan once exchanged this technique to an Emperor for a Dao Source Seed."

"Yes, that's common knowledge."

"What most people don't know is after becoming a Dao Ancestor, he modified his technique into an Insurgent one."

"Seriously? How is that possible?"

Yan Liling was also surprised. As a new elder, she now has access to some secrets of the world and knows the importance of an Insurgent Cultivation Technique–especially one not created by an Emperor.

"The Dao of Deception," replied Wang Wei. "He created a way to deceive the Grand Dao Source he was a being who controls the Source instead of borrowing its power, thus granting him the power of a Great Emperor."

"This…" Li Jun was at a loss for words. "There should be some restraint, right?"

"Most likely, there is a time limit he can use said power, but it does not change the fact this technique is still an Insurgent one. So, no matter what, we must get our hands on it."

Dao Ancestors' cultivation is also based on the percentage of understanding of the Grand Dao Source. So, if this technique had a direct conversion rate based on the Dao Ancestor's realm, it would be terrifying.

For example, a Dao Ancestor who has a 20% of Grand Dao Source comprehension could use the Deceiving Heaven Longevity Art to acquire the power of a Pseudo-Eternal Emperor.

And if their comprehension is higher than 20%, their strength would be even more intense.

Now, Wang Wei knew it was unlikely for the conversation rate to be so powerful. But even if it was not, he could try to modify this technique in the future after he proved the Dao.

Chapter 523 Gather

"Do we want to leave now?" asked Li Jun, who could foresee how many people would show up to participate in this secret realm.

"There is no need to rush. Since it announced itself so brazenly, it should wait for everyone to arrive," said Yan Liling.

"She's right. We must ensure the sect's affairs are in order before we leave."

Afterward, Wang Wei called for a brief meeting with the other elders to check on the sect's development–especially the outward expansion into other worlds.

Everything went smoothly in the past five years as many branches of the sect have been established, gathering talents and resources. Only one incident occurred in a Middle Thousand World ruled by a dynasty that revolted against the sect's establishment.

Tie Gang was happy to stretch his muscle and dealt with it as swiftly as possible. The sect was still in the early stages of developing these worlds as they decided to take things slowly.

Wang Wei nodded in satisfaction at how things were proceeding. And after ensuring nothing was wrong, he left a clone to deal with any sudden issues that may arise.

Finally, he left with Li Jun, Yan Liling, and another person. The group took a Void Boat instead of teleporting directly to their destination.

Southern Vermilion Bird Continent, Red Sand Domain:

There was only sand in this entire domain; moreover, the sand was light red instead of the usual yellow. And just like regular deserts, it was scorching in the daylight and freezing at night.

Furthermore, many demonic beasts lived underneath the sand, and when it was their dinner time, they would go up to the surface for a meal of human flesh.

Despite the harsh environment, many humans lived in this domain, primarily cultivators. The sand is a treasure trove of resources, and loose cultivators like to hunt for them to sell.

According to rumors, the sand is red because a Great Emperor once died in this domain, thus altering the environment. Over the years, this rumor has proven to be true.

Many of the resources in this domain were nurtured by the blood and Dao Rhyme of the Emperor's body. The demonic beasts living in the sand also seemed to have mutated because of something, most likely, the Emperor's blood.

The Great Talisman City took control of this domain numerous eras ago since the blood of the demonic beasts was great material for making talismans.

However, they took a softer approach to control it. They allow loose cultivators to hunt for demonic beasts and resources, and they can exchange them for other things like pills, talismans, and weapons with the City.

As a result of this approach, the Great Talisman City has an excellent reputation in this Domain. However, Wang Wei guessed their approach was because this domain was too large and complicated to mine on their own.

The demonic sand beasts live deep underground, so it is not easy to find them. The extreme temperature made the place almost inhabitable–especially in the long term.

If the Great Talisman City had its disciple be the ones hunting for resources, it would require too many people, take a long time, or cost them too much.

Meanwhile, having loose cultivators do the dirty work for them save them a lot of money and the lives of many of their disciples who would perish in these hunts.

Moreover, the city will make much more money when these loose cultivators exchange resources. After all, they are the ones who determine the price.

"Big brother, what are you thinking about?"

"Hmm, it's about how the Great Talisman City dealt with this domain."

"It was a brilliant idea to use loose cultivators. I guess it saved them a lot of money."

"I don't think so," replied Yan Liling.

"Oh, do you have a better plan?"

"Don't you remember big brother's talk about the importance of large and cheap labors? As long the city used a lot of puppets, they would not have an issue mining the resources in this domain." freewebnσvel.cøm

Li Jun smacked his lisp, "I really don't like the concept of replacing manpower with construct."

Wang Wei gave him a strange look, "Since when did you become so conservative?"

Li Jun sighed: "After the fiasco in the Heavenly Abode World, I've taken your advice and trained a puppet legion. However, it's just not the same with an army of flesh and blood."

"But the puppet legion can save many of your man's life?" said Yan Liling.

"I know this, but I still don't like them."

She was surprised as this was the first time she had heard of this. "Since you don't like the puppets, doesn't that mean you also don't like the constructs in our domains?"

"No, those are fine since they make mortals' lives better, easier, and more productive."

"So, your only problem is when 'machines' are applied to the military?"

"I guess so. I only feel that overreliance on puppetry or machines would be detrimental in the long run."

Over-reliance on anything is detrimental," said Wang Wei. "Plus, the construct's purpose will always be an aid. Look at Liling's plan to develop this domain. Although it looked perfect on the surface, there is a glaring flaw: luck."

"Luck? I see," replied Yan Liling. "Hunting the demonic beasts aside, the main reason the loose cultivators can find some precious resources in the sand is their natural luck: the puppets do not have that."

"Exactly. So, in the cultivation world, it is impossible to completely replace [man power] with [machine power]. This is how the laws of Heaven and Earth are; this is part of the universe's Order," said Wang Wei.

"We've arrived."

He looked in the distance and could see many people he knew already waiting: Fang Lijuan, Feng Heng, Huang Yuan, Mo Xingyun, Zhen Biyu, and many of the Top 30 Heaven Chosen from the Academy's Trial.

Additionally, many people recently rose and made a name for themselves.

Wang Wei focused on them and called Chen Chen from the Origin Weapon Mountain. He sensed something and activated his True Vision Ability, and his lisp almost twitched.

He saw a brilliant golden light surrounding Chen Chen's body. And from his eyes, he knew he had developed a new ability to see how much treasure a person has based on the light.

'How much treasure does this guy possess to make me develop a new ability?'

Wang Wei was speechless.

His group's arrival caught the attention of many people. However, they took a position while waiting. Meanwhile, Wang Wei began to observe everyone around, focusing on someone specific.

It was a short and petite woman of about 157 cm. She had an adorable face with big eyes and a small bump in the chest area that was almost unnoticeable in her bright yellow hanfu.

Like most female cultivators, she had white skin. However, another noticeable thing about her appearance was her slim and nimble-like fingers.

She seemed very enthusiastic as she talked to many people not from her faction. She had a natural charm that would make someone genuinely smile after a brief conversation.

'Tong Ruobing; something is odd about her.'

He felt an oddly familiar feeling but could not think where it came from. His fate reading technique he could now use undetected by most people was natural block by her, without her trying.

He had an idea and used his Soul Network Divine Ability to look at her soul, and the same blockage occurred by a mysterious fog.

'The only time this occurs is when Immortal-Tier things are related. So, she should have something of this caliber on her.'

However, Wang Wei was unsatisfied with this explanation as no one around appeared like her. And he did not believe any of these Heaven Chosens did not have a few Immortal Weapons, Dao Weapons, and even Emperor Artifacts on them.

So, why didn't his Soul Network show that he could not summon these people's souls as it did for Tong Ruobing?

'Let's pay attention to her.'

Wang Wei continued looking around, and he saw a few acquainted. Lou Cheng and Wu Meng, whom he met during the Spirit Road Trial. Wang Wei admired this kid's boldness to join the Origin Rune Palace after learning what their founder did to his ancestor.

Just as he was about to read this kid's Fate Line, he sensed something and raised his head. On the right, he saw a beautiful woman dressed in red riding a phoenix: Huo Fenghuang.

Many people who could not tell the phoenix was a technique looked at her with awe. And even the ones who could tell had a severe look on as they gazed at how lifelike and realistic the phoenix was. Even the aura of an innate demon could be sensed from it.

Wang Wei already knew of her release, defeat of Xuanwu Qiubai, and absorbing his bloodline. It was such a significant event in the Ancient Clan that his Fate Shadow Guard could quickly learn of the news.

On the left side was an enormous golden crow with three legs. After landing, the golden crow turned into a woman wearing martial clothes, a golden mark on her forehead that looked like a third eye, and shoulder-length hair.

"Is that…" muttered Li Jun.

"It should be the Golden Crow Emperor Offspring," replied Wang Wei.

"How come she is in the Void Shattering Realm instead of the Quasi-Emperor Realm?"

"I would also like to know. Shadow Two, do you have any information on her?"

"Yes, young mast…I mean sect master."

Shadow Two quickly controlled his emotion before handing him a talisman containing information about her. Boss Wang Ju was in retreat, so it was his turn to serve the big boss; he did not want to mess things up.

Wang Wei used his divine sense to rapidly read the information he had on this woman called Jingwu Hua.

There was not much information, to begin with. At some point, she had some issues with the other members of the Golden Crow Clan. The reason for this conflict is unknown, but after the resolution, she disappeared for a long time before recently manifesting with a lower cultivation level but an increase in strength.

'Recultivation?' thought Wang Wei as he gazed at her with a slight frown. He could sense the same fog that emanated from Tong Ruobing, which blocked all his detecting measures.

Chapter 524 The Chosens One

Recultivating does not alway mean an increase in strength, but the people who can actively choose to do so are usually the determining kind. After all, how many people can abandon all their years of cultivation, turning themselves into weak mortals? If something goes wrong, they do not have ways to protect themselves.

So, the fact that Jingwu Hua walked that path showed, at the very least, that she is a person of strong Will. People who can survive the sealing process to wash away their karma are people with high-level Dao Hearts, so Jingwu Hua's achievements are not that abnormal logically.

After checking her out, Wang Wei focused on someone else: Mo Xingyun. He had suspicions about her since he knew that Devouring Dao was an outlaw, but she seemed perfectly fine, without the outlaw aura or the need to undergo the trial.

At first, Wang Wei thought she was using a tactic similar to Emperor Nine Suns, where she hid her real Dao and only used the ability of her physique. But now, he had a feeling something more complicated was at play.

'Could she really be the pawn of the Heaven Devour Emperor?'

Based on what he knew and analyzed from the Heaven Devour Emperor, he was a selfish cultivator who only did things that benefitted him. So, Wang Wei always wondered why he had descendants and even left the opportunity to inherit his Devour Physique.

And after hearing about how some Emperors used their descendant to revive themselves, he had suspicions about Mo Xingyun.

'What the Heaven Devour Emperor did almost destroyed the Myriad Emperor World. After his exile to the Eternal Ascension World, some former Emperors might have visited him and made him pay for his actions,' thought Wang Wei.

This was one of the reasons he could think of for the Heaven Devour Emperor to need to use the backhand he left in the lower dimension.

Since his name and deed in history still remained, it meant he was alive. However, it is also possible that the Myriad Emperor World's previous Emperors destroyed his body and soul. So, he needed Mo Xingyun's help to revive.

Of course, Wang Wei also acknowledged it could be something entirely different for Mo Xingyun's weirdness. He squinted his eyes as he analyzed all his information on her.

He knew the weirdness began after the Academy's Trial. Back then, he could easily read her Fate Line, and nothing appeared abnormal about her. So, what happened after that which changed her?

'The Gluttony Swallowing Scripture. Not long afterward, she possessed it so it could be the catalyst for her change.'

Wang Wei quickly denied this conclusion because she appeared normal during the beach party where he planted the secret karma thread on her. Then, he suddenly squinted his eyes and realized the line was gone.

He did not even notice it was gone until now, adding to another anomaly.

'Could an immortal powerhouse have removed it for her?' frёewebnoѵēl.com

Wang Wei denied this possibility. Wu Hong placed a seal on those threads to prevent detection from this level of cultivators. She told him the only way for a person to remove the thread is for the people who have it on them to detect it with their ability and remove them themselves.

'So, is Mo Xingyun this powerful now? Or is she now a master of Karma Dao?'

Wang Wei felt he was missing something and his brain rapidly worked. Then, he remembered someone: Zhang Xuan from the Dao Worshipping Academy. Mo Xingyun has been after his number 7 Boundless Void Physique for many years.

Wang Wei used the Karma Thread he placed on the latter during the beach episode to check on his situation since he was not here.

'Dead? No, but very close. Plus, he lost his Heavenly Physique.'

He discovered the latter had only his Primordial Spirit left, but it was so faint that it appeared as if it would disappear at any time. What's more, the Law Fragment from his soul was no longer present.

'So, Mo Xingyun finally got him. Is he the catalyst for her change?'

Unfortunately, there was too little information, so Wang Wei decided to observe her in the secret realm. While deep thinking, Wang Wei sensed something and looked in another direction.

And he was not the only one. All the people present looked in the same direction, whether women or men, old or young, rich or poor, and handsome or ugly.

A woman of unparalleled beauty stood on top of a magical artifact in the shape of a golden lotus with two people behind her. Unfortunately, her beauty eclipsed these people so much that no one even noticed them.

"The most beautiful woman of this generation: Xu Shi," muttered one of the cultivators present.

Despite her eyes, Xu Shi remained composed, without a single hint of emotions on her face. Unlike her previous bright color dresses, she now had black martial clothes that fitted her body, perfectly suited for battle. Furthermore, she had the aura of a powerhouse, forcing people to no longer see her as just a pretty face.

She glanced at everyone present before stopping on Wang Wei for a few seconds. Without saying anything else, she took a spot to wait.

Everyone then waited as the bright golden light in the distance slowly thinned out, indicating the secret realm was about to open. Wang Wei looked around as he noticed some people did not show up.

Sun Jiaolong, the Sea Race, the demonic race–which was understandable–and more importantly, the Yang Clan's Emperor Offspring. He thought he would show up since the Golden Crow came.

After a few hours of waiting, the light disappeared, and a space channel appeared. The people around looked at each other, wondering who would be the first to enter.

However, Jingwu Hua turned into a golden flame and rushed toward the entrance. Her action seemed to have sparked the competitive spirit of the other Heaven Chosens, so they rushed toward the entrance as well with maximum speed.

Only a few people waited outside: Feng Heng, Huang Yuan, Wang Wei, and his group, Zhen Biyu and Xu Shi.

Wang Wei glanced at her with a slight surprise. Feng Heng and Huang Yuan are old geezers that have probably lived for a million years at the minimum, so he understood their cautions.

Zhen Biyu's Pure Heart and Mind makes her uninterested in competitions such as this. But, he did not expect Xu Shi to be so cautious. However, thinking about what she experienced, it's normal for her to be careful when doing things.

Wang Wei looked at the space channel and sensed nothing happened. to the people inside. He then did quick divination to determine possible danger for him. After not finding anything, he looked in the sky as he sensed Ancestor Wucheng's presence. He guessed many immortal powerhouses were secretly watching this secret realm, so he became reassured.

In the Qi Luck Trial, he used the name of the [Deceiving Heaven Longevity Art] to lure many of his competitors to a secret realm before exploding it. He did not want the same tactic to be used against him.

Then, he flew to the channel with his group.

Wang Wei found himself in a spacious environment with all the people who entered waiting. He saw the Heaven Chosens waiting at the front, so he flew and landed there as well.

In front of him was a child floating in the air. The odd thing was he only had an upper torso, while his lower part resembled that of a genie from Earth. Furthermore, the child had a weird mask on his face; half the mask had a naive smile, and the other had a cunning and vicious one.

"Now that everyone is here, we can begin," the child said, but his voice was that of an old woman instead of a child.

'A Secret Realm Spirit that embodies [deception]? This Gu Xuan might be a man who enjoys spectacles,' thought Wang Wei.

"My name is Qin Wentian, but you can call me Lord Spirit. As you can guess, this secret realm is to select worthy candidates to inherit my master's scripture.

"Now, let's begin the first stage selection."

The Lord Spirit waved his hand to manifest countless tokens, which then flew around the candidates and scanned them. Not even a few seconds of scanning, the token landed in Wang Wei's hand.

Then, two tokens floated in front of Yan Liling and Li Jun. After scanning them, the token seemed to look at them and Wang Wei before flying away.

The selection process took over an hour, and to everyone's surprise, only six people were chosen: Wang Wei, Feng Heng, Huo Fenghuang, Jingwu Hua, Xu Shi, and Tong Ruobing.

"Congratulations to the six of you; you are qualified for the next round."

"Lord Spirit, are these the only people?" asked one of the cultivators.

"That's correct."

"Isn't that unfair?"

"It is. But if you feel you are more qualified, you are more than happy to take it from them."

With these words, 95% of people have already given up.

"When is the next round?" asked Wang Wei.

"In one month."

"Can we bring other people with us?"

"If you wish to do so." As he said these words, it seemed as if the cunning side of his mask became alive and was smiling.

Wang Wei squinted his eyes before asking: "Are there going to be Heaven Chosens from other world communities in the second round?"

"Hmmm," muttered Lord Spirit as he focused on Wang Wei, looking at him up and down. "Very astute. You're correct; there will be many of them."

The other four immediately became serious as they realized it would not be so easy to get this inheritance. However, a fighting intent soon flashed across these people's eyes; they wanted to compete with Heaven Chosen of other World Communities to see who was better.

Wang Wei was also excited, but not only because he could compete with Heaven Chosens of other world communities. It was also because the opportunity to expand his Soul Network finally arrived.

By then, he won't have to worry about gathering resources for his incarnations.

"Are there any more questions?" asked Lord Spirit. "In that case, you can leave."

Chapter 525 Undercurrents

After exiting the secret realm, the other cultivators surrounded the chosen six. Wang Wei frowned before releasing a spiritual pressure that covered the entire group. Then, 99% of these people passed out on the floor, leaving only the ones with Heaven Chosen Titles and a few others with real abilities.

He then looked at the remaining people standing and said: "Who amongst you is brave enough to get this token from my hand?" He stood in front of these people, not releasing any aura or using any technique.

However, his very presence placed tremendous pressure on all the people present. They knew it was not worth trying to get a token from this monster.

On the unlikely chance they would succeed, they would be in terrible shape and unable to leave this place as others could take advantage of them.

"Since I was not chosen, it means that this inheritance is not destined with me," said Zhen Biyu before jumping on a sword and flying away. She did not hesitate, and there seemed to be no regret in her decision.

Wang Wei looked at her departed back before looking at this group again. His eyes focused on Mo Xingyun, making the latter slightly tremble before regaining her bearing and smiling like a cunning fox.

A few seconds after not receiving an answer, Wang Wei flew away with his group; hopped inside his Void Boat before returning to the sect. All the others looked at his back with gritted teeth; they thought the power of Law could allow them to catch this monster. But now, they realize this monster will not stop growing nor wait for them to catch up.

"Why don't we stop to watch the upcoming battle?" asked Yan Liling.

"It will not be as much of a battle. The other five know best not to reveal their strength now, so they will most likely rush back home and wait for a month," said Li Jun.

"It would still be interesting to see how they run home while protecting themselves from the others?"

"Shadow Two will record the fight. Furthermore, our presence will make these guys more reserved for fear we sneak attack them."

Li Jun then looked at Wang Wei, "Is something wrong? You seem to be in a rush."

"I just had a revelation that I needed to cultivate more of my incarnations if I want to win this inheritance."

Li Jun squinted his eyes as many thoughts flashed across his mind. "Do you think there is a Heaven Chosen from other communities who would require the strength of your incarnations to defeat them?"

"That's the greatest possibility, but I could not divine any more information."

After arriving home, Wang Wei directly went to see Ancestor Wucheng.

"You're going to do something reckless again, aren't you?"

"That's why I'm here to see you, to ensure it is not dangerous."

Wang Wucheng sighed out loud. "What is it this time?"

"I need more Time Energy for my incarnation. So, I plan to steal some from the Chrono Chaos Realm. So what do you think?"

"Hmm, why the sudden hurry?"

Wang Wei then explained the information the Lord Spirit revealed about other world community's Heaven Chosen and the divination he recently made. Taking this information into account, Wang Wucheng thought about the feasibility of this plan.

"With your Time Dao and my protection, it should not be a problem to survive for some time in the Chrono Chaos Realm–as long as you don't go deep inside, that is. However, the Time Energy inside is very chaotic; would you be able to purify it?"

"No problem."

Wang Wucheng did not immediately agree. Instead, he thought about other possible dangers. "Give me a moment before I decide."

After saying that, he disappeared from his secret realm. Deep inside the Dao Opening Sect, a sigh came from an ordinary coffin.

"This kid better worth all the trouble," said Origin One. "I'll tell Turtle One to secretly protect you two in case something goes wrong."

Wang Wucheng nodded in excitement. Turtle One was one of the most powerful Insurgents of the sect. He sacrificed most of his attack abilities for defense, surpassing Sword One and Origin One in this area.

Turtle One could survive a few days under the attack of a regular Eternal Emperor by relying simply on his defense. He became the ultimate shield if he used the sect's array as a boost. He is one of the main reasons the sect has survived for so long.

One of his most remarkable feats is he survived an attack against all the Nine Devil Gods with middle-level injuries and protected the sect from a few Eternal Emperors during the Devil Era.

Wang Wucheng quickly thanked Origin One before returning to see Wang Wei and accepting his offer. The latter did not waste time and headed straight for the Chrono Chaos Realm in the southern part of the Central Continent.

The entrance to this Forbidden Land is a mountain surrounded by spatial disturbance. Any person without sufficient strength who approached this place would be teleported to some unknown location in the Myriad Emperor World or possibly the Endless Void. Or they would be shredded apart by the spatial currents coming from the mountain.

Luckily, Wang Wei and Wang Wucheng were not among the people who could not even reach the mountain's entrance, which was a cave. Before entering, Wang Wei created a transparent barrier with his Time Law to cover the two of them, and Wang Wucheng boosted the shield.

Wang Wei looked at his surrounding; everything was red, including the sky, clouds, and even the earth. He looked at the sky and saw a bunch of ancient clocks with characters instead of numbers. These clocks would constantly appear and disappear.

'Language from the Pre-Null Era?' thought Wang Wei as he observed the clocks. He then sensed the power of his Time Barrier and whether it would hold up.

'No problem.'

"This is a great place to temper the body?"

"Excuse me?"

"After you prove the Dao, instead of destroying this forbidden land, turn it into a secret realm to temper the body."

Wang Wei's lisps twitched as he felt some more debt was suddenly added to his head. If he could make this level of secret realm, primarily the immortal body refiners would benefit.

"That's a good idea. After I prove the Dao, I will also need some ways to temper my body. And I doubt Divine Punishment Thunder would last long anyway."

Then, Wang Wei began his work. He summoned his [108 Future Buddha Self], placing them in specific positions to enact an array. Once everything was set up, he activated the array. A few minutes later, a translucent crystal appeared in the middle of the array.

"Success," muttered Wang Wei as he sensed the pure Time Energy inside. Then, he focused on the remaining chaotic nature, and an idea popped into his mind. He absorbed it while running the [Future Buddha Book]. A few minutes later, a phantom of the 109th Future Buddha Self appeared behind him, and Wang Wei opened his eyes with excitement.

This place was simply his heaven. So, he sat down to continue refining the time crystals.

Divine Dao League:

Fang Lijuan sat cross-legged with a pale complexion inside a secret room. She had a scar running down from her face to her upper torso and a burn mark on the left part of her face.

'Damn it, it will take me hundreds of years to heal these injuries,' she thought with gritted teeth, thinking about how she ended up in this terrible shape.

The battle for the token was quick and fierce. Not long after Wang Wei, countless runes suddenly appeared on Tong Ruobing's body, and she disappeared; no one could detect her or where she left, and even her method was somewhat strange.

Fang Lijuan did not waste time and entered the invisible mode. Her first target was the member of the ancient clan: Huo Fenghuang. Her tactic first worked as she bypassed the latter's detection and stabbed her heart.

But to Fang Lijuan's horror, her crystal sword only penetrated the skin while the muscles prevented it from going deeper. Nevertheless, she persisted and decided to use a more powerful attack or a stack one. Unfortunately, her opponent's eyes suddenly changed, and before she could barely react, a bright red flame rushed to annihilate her.

Luckily, her bloodline activated to encase her in a protective crystal, barely saving her life. She quickly used a technique to make her injuries invisible and healed. Regrettably, these flames were very persistent, and she could only recover 60% of them.

Then, Fang Lijuan targeted Feng Heng. As someone with the Yin-Yang Eyes, he was the nemesis of her Invisible Law. Thinking about it now, she realized how silly of a mistake she had made.

During this all-out confrontation, Feng Heng confronted Huang Yuan, who immediately used his Life and Death Book. However, the young Taoist encased his enemy in a dome made of a Yin-Yang Diagram.

The diagram separated Yin from Yang and thus, tried to separate the book's Innate Life and Death Laws. Huang Yuan became scared as he knew the consequences if something happened to his book, so he tried his best to prevent this from happening. And in the process, he became useless in the fight.

Then, Fang Lijuan took this opportunity to sneak attack Feng Heng. However, the young taoist calmly looked in her direction, took out a black and white sword, and slashed it, almost severing her into two.

After this injury, she was incapacitated, so she returned home to heal.

'I need a way to make me completely undetected by these people with pupil techniques and also increase my attacking strength. The Laws of Darkness, Shadow, and even Space could be the answer.'

Fang Lijuan began to plan for the Law Foundation Stage. However, she felt none of these were enough to compete with these monsters. Then, she sensed something and took out a talisman.

'As expected, none of these six lost their token.'

She frowned as she pondered deeply. freewebnoveℓ.com

'These six are a problem and must be dealt with no matter what.'

Then, she used a talisman to contact a few people and waited.

Chapter 526 I agree

Fang Lijuan stood in a room with a magic array above her head. A few minutes later, a few projections appeared in the room.

"I'm glad you accept my invitation," she said.

"What is your purpose? Be blunt," said Huang Yuan.

"You are all intelligent people, so you should guess my purpose: an alliance," said Fang Lijuan. "These 6 are currently too powerfulâ€"especially Wang Weiâ€"and might remain so until the Heaven Will Battle.

"So, we must band together and get rid of them first before we fight amongst ourselves."

"Hmph, I don't need anyone else's help to defeat these people."

"Is that so? Do you think having an innate treasure with outlaw Daos makes you a big shot?" commented Sun Jiaolong. "Without that book, you are essentially useless."

"Are you the one talking? Are you even worthy of being called a Heaven Chosen without your sword?" Huang Yuan snapped back. "You weren't even present for the secret realm, and something tells me it's because you were too scared."

Sun Jiaolong sneered but did not say anything more. It was a calculated move not to participate in this secret realm. He figured his chances were low acquiring the inheritance. And even if he did succeed, he would not be able to keep it.

The other powerful Emperor Lineages would pressure him and his dynasty to hand it over. And with the Great Wu Dynasty's weakness, he does not believe they could withstand the pressure.

"Now that all the men have finished showing their ego, let's talk about the alliance," said Mo Xingyun. "I think it's a great idea, but we can do more."

"What do you have in mind?" asked Fang Lijuan.

"We can invite the other 5 except for Wang Wei; he's the real threat."

"That's pointless. I know Tong Ruobing; she would never accept the invitation," said Chen Chen.

"Not now, but not necessarily after the second round."

"What do you mean? Be direct," said Fang Lijuan while looking at Mo Xingyun, who smiled cunningly.

"I can honestly tell you once Wang Wei reaches his peak strength, he will be able to slaughter all of us in a few minutes. And not just him, Di Tian is the same as well."

The others frowned.

"Aren't you being a little dramatic? There is no way the gap is this big," asked Huang Yuan.

"Have any of you heard of the Nine Extremities Foundation?"

They looked at each other before shaking their head. Then, Mo Xingyun explained what it was, making the expression of the others very ugly. Then, they returned to normal.

"I know what you're thinking, but it's futile. Even if you were to try to walk the same path as Wang Wei, you would fail. Anyway, I know you will try anyway."

When Mo Xingyun learned about this information, she also wanted to walk on the path of establishing this supreme foundation, but she did not meet the requirement and failed. And it was not because of the enormous amount of resources required.

"Back to the main topic," said Chen Chen. "What do you mean the others will join us?"

"After they experienced the horror of Wang Wei's strength, a few of them should be susceptible to the idea of an alliance."

"Your plan is feasible, and we can draw other people into our alliances," said Fang Lijuan. "But if Wang Wei and Di Tian are so powerful, does it make sense to unite?"

"Yes, more than ever," added Mo Xingyun. "We will use tactics, underhanded methods, and large numbers to wear out these two before killing or taking their powers."

"Wang Wei has Li Jun and other Generals to protect him. And I'm assuming it is the same for Di Tian. So, these tactics might not work on them," said Chen Chen.

"Then we need to unite our Generals to quickly take out theirs before we get to them," commented Sun Jiaolong. The group became quiet, pondering the feasibility of this alliance.

Although it looked good on the surface, there are bound to be many issues, mostly involving the class of their egos. Nevertheless, this might be the only option they have for now.

"How about we take some time before making a decision?" said Huang Yuan. Then, they all looked at each other before nodding and ending the Communication Array.

Western Continent:

Mo Xingyun smiled after everything ended; she could guess these people wanted to test the Nine Extremities Foundation. It's a shame they will be disappointed.

As expected, almost a month later, they regrouped for another discussion.

"So, have you tried?" asked Mo Xingyun, and no one responded to her.

"Can you tell us what we are missing?" asked Chen Chen. "You can name your price." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"Are you sure you want to know? It won't change anything?" After seeing the determination in these people's eyes, she smiled before telling them her price.

"A bit expensive," muttered Huang Yuan.

"I know your Divine Dao League is poor, so you can owe me a favor instead," said Mo Xingyun, making Fang Lijuan grit her teeth.

"No need. I can still afford such a price."

Mo Xingyun shrugged her shoulder before sending the group a Soul Contract with her signature. And after they all signed, she told him the reason for their failure.

Sun Jiaolong sighed, "Is the difference between us so great?"

"Now you understand," added Mo Xingyun. "Of course, you guys could still walk the orthodox path like Di Tian."

Everyone sneered. Who wants to keep reincarnating while suffering countless trials and tribulations?

"How do you know so much?" asked Fang Lijuan.

"You don't need to know that. Now, what about our alliance? Any decision."

"I agree," said Chen Chen, without hesitation. He remembered the humiliation he suffered at Xu Shi's hands in front of the secret realm; he did not want to feel so weak and powerless again.

"I agree," Sun Jiaolong said. Wang Wei took the Human Destiny Sword from him, ruining a lot of his plan and drastically weakening him. Although the Demon Destiny Sword has made up for some of his losses, it was not enough. Furthermore, he has not discovered the sea race's destiny sword.

"I agree," said Huang Yuan while clutching his hand. All his life, he has been undefeated, suppressing anyone who stood in his way to the top. However, after coming to the Myriad Emperor World, he has suffered defeats after defeats.

Although he had adjusted his mindset years ago, sometimes, he could not help but wonder whether it would be best to remain an overlord in the lower realm than suffer this kind of humiliation at the hands of the younger generation. Nevertheless, Huang Yuan did not regret his decision; he did not want to be a phoenix amongst a group of chickens.

"I agree," said Fang Lijuan, the person with the least emotional change after this decision since she facilitated this alliance. Over the years, she had to learn to control her pride and not be influenced by her bloodline or the false glory of the Divine Dao League.

So, no matter the method used, she must prove the Dao.

"I also agree," said Mo Xingyun with her usual charming smile that seems like she's always scamming somebody. Despite her calm demeanor, she feared that some of these people would be scared by her information and decide to seal themselves and compete with another generation.

Luckily, these people know that this Glorious Age is a time full of destiny, granting them the highest chance of becoming an Eternal Emperor. In any other generation, they have to rely entirely on their natural talent. Unfortunately, no one here can confidently say they could accomplish such a feat.

"If we want to form an alliance, we must hide from Wang Wei for a while."

"His Fate Reading Ability is really annoying," said Sun Jiaolong. "However, he will learn of this alliance eventually."

"Most likely, but the longer we can hide from him, the more advantageous the situation is for us," said Mo Xingyun. "Plus, we also need to guard against his Fate Shadow Guards. These pesky things seemed to have amazing infiltrating abilities."

"Do you know something we don't?" asked Fang Lijuan.

"I know a lot of things you don't. For example, Di Tian's Sleepers are even more elite than Wang Wei's Fate Shadow Guard. So, I will sell you guys some method to prevent them from infiltrating your armies and General.

"Army and General? Wait, does that mean these two have already infiltrated our factions?" asked Sun Jiaolong.

"What do you think?"

"So, you'll help keep our armies pure, but not our faction?"

"It's too risky if you guys started to clean up your factions. Wang Wei would notice something wrong. Plus, my methods do not guarantee you can find all their spies."

Everyone in this room was intelligent, so they quickly caught into something. In these short two meetings, Mo Xingyun managed to shift the power balance of the entire alliance in her favor.

Without them even realizing it, she became the de facto leader, and there seems to be nothing they can do to change that fact.

"Do we need a name for our alliance?" asked Mo Xingyun, who could guess what these people were thinking.

"I say we call it the Suppressing Fate Alliance."

"How does the name make sense if we target Di Tian and Wang Wei?"

"I like the name; plus, I feel he is more of a threat."

The others looked at each other before nodding in agreement. In the current stages of the alliance, Mo Xingyun had the advantage. So, it's no problem to bend to her when it comes to minor things such as this.

Chrono Chaos Realm:

Wang Wei opened his eyes before muttering: "The month is already approaching?"

He then looked at all the crystals before him with a smile. He raised his head to look at the 360 [Future Budda Self], and his smile became more radiant.

"Are you done?" asked Wang Wucheng.

"Yes. We can leave. But can I come back to cultivate?"

"Bring back the Deceiving Heaven Longevity Art, and you can do whatever you want."

Wang Wei smiled, "Don't go back on your words."

Then, the two, no, three, left this eerie place. And as soon as Wang Wei arrived outside, he received a communication talisman from Shadow Two about the battle in front of the secret realm.
