Myriad Emperor World, Southern Vermillion Bird Continent, Fire Tempering Domain, Origin Pill Dao Sect:
Wang Wei opened his eyes. Three days have passed since he decided to cultivate the [Controlling Flame Art] and he has reached the 6th level. This technique is not that difficult–especially since he already witnessed the power of the 7th level from his third senior sister.
On top of that, Lou Cheng already cultivated to the 4th level, so he only had to learn the two remaining levels.
Unfortunately, his current research on the mystery of this cultivation technique has come to an end. With his current identity, the best way to find out is to either ask his master or his third senior sister.
Unfortunately, his master only told him to cultivate to the 6th level before coming to him. Although Wang Wei has already done so, Lou Cheng had only cultivated to the 4th level a few months ago and used this opportunity to break through the Supernatural Realm.
So, he could not explain to his master how he managed to reach such a level in just a few days; he did not want to raise suspicions.
After placing the task about the flame scripture in the back of his head, Wang Wei entered the small world inside his space ring. Soon, he found himself in a large pool full of blood.
After turning to his original body, he used his nail to make a small cut on his wrist. Golden blood dripped down, however, the blood did not fall on the ground. On the contrary, it went back inside his body, and the wound closed by itself.
"I have already tempered blood. Now it's time for the second step," muttered Wang Wei.
Without hesitation, he removed his clothes and jumped inside the pool. As soon as he entered, he began to run the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture].
A white light flew from the blood pool and entered his golden. A large amount of vitality was then infused into his body.
The blood refining part of the scripture was divided into three parts: blood tempering, vitality absorption, and Enlightenment.
The first part is self-explanatory: use any means necessary to temper the blood inside the body, remove the impurities until the blood is thick and golden.
Wang Wei used the cycle of the Five Elements from his organs and his Good Fortune Flame to temper his blood, so he already reached the requirement.
As for the second part, all he needed to do was absorb a large amount of life force or vitality.
Three hours after entering the blood pool, the color had changed from bright red to a watery white color. Wang Wei looked at this with a frown on his face.
He waved his hand and the water in the pool disappeared. He clutched his hand in the air, then the space broke. Immediately afterward, a bunch of demonic beasts appeared from the cracks.
There were different varieties of them: Golden Lion Race, Battle Ape Race, Golden Rock Race, etc. There were more than 10,000 of them, and all of them had two things in common: they had Emperor Bloodline flowing through their veins and had a cultivation of the Supreme Realm.
Wang Wei used his Divine Sense to check these demon races and he could feel that their auras were very unstable. Most likely because they were force-fed medicines to reach their current realms.
If they were humans, this would be almost impossible to cultivate so many Supreme Realm Powerhouses with resources alone. This was different for the demon race as they relied mostly on their bloodline.
As long as they have enough resources and as long as their bloodline is strong enough, they can quickly grow. This is also one of the reasons that humans forced the demon race to live in the continent with the least amount of resources.
After checking these demonic races that have been cultivated specifically for him, Wang Wei waved his hand and a string appear to form a cut on these beasts.
Then, their blood flows into the pool, replenishing it. An hour later, the corpses of these demonic beasts turned into dry mummies. Under his control, Wang Wei also removed their Blood Spirits–which is the equivalent to human's Primordial Spirit–and used a secret technique to turn it into vitality.
Then, Wang Wei entered the blood pool again to absorb vitality.
During the process, he started to think about his future cultivation. Currently, refining his blood has become a bottomless pit. The amount of vitality he requires to cultivate his blood to great perfection is beyond his expectation.
Accordion to the scripture, each person has different requirements for the amount of vitality needed based on their strength and talent.
As for Wang Wei, there are a few reasons that he needed so much. For one, he cultivated every part of his body to perfection and beyond. Second, his body refining talent drastically increased after refining Ji Song's body.
Third, after opening his 7 Chakras, his body took another leap in strength.
Finally, and the main reasons, he decided to cultivate his organs before cultivating his blood. On top of that, he used Innate Materials for his organs, making his foundation and strength reach an unimaginable level.
As a result of this, he has to pay the price for his actions. Luckily for him, his family is rich and can give him all the resources he needs. But Wang Wei is still not satisfied.
According to his calculations, he will take a lot of time before his blood reach saturation. Furthermore, he still has to deal with the third step of refining his blood.
So, he began to ponder ways to reduce the time needed to succeed. His first plan is to ask for the sect to give him an Emperor Pill that has a lot of vitality.
However, he denied this plan as this would be a waste. His body is not nearly strong enough to withstand such a powerful pill. Plus, using such a level of resources because he did not want to waste time seemed unnecessary.
His second plan was to find another Innate herb and used it. Regrettably, this plan was still not practical as the sect no longer had any Innate Material. Maybe he could get some from other sects.
After pondering for a moment, Wang Wei thought of another possible option: the Wood Essence he used for his organs.
As an Innate herb full of vitality that can even heal a Great Emperor, logically speaking, it should be enough for Wang Wei to temper his blood. The majority of the vitality he is using to temper his blood comes from it.
However, there is a problem.
Innate materials are different from Emperor Tiers one for a reason. For a material to become Emperor Tier, it has to be grown by a Great Emperor. After years of being baptized by his Dao, the material will transform itself into higher quality.
As for Innate material, they have their own advantage as well. Since they are bred by Heaven and Earth, they contain Innate Laws inside of them. If someone gets such material, the Innate Law has a lot of benefits.
For example, if some mortal was fortunate enough to acquire an Innate Treasure, then that person is set for life. They can study the Innate Laws inside of the material, and it became very easy for them to cultivate and comprehend the Law.
The Innate Material is a perfect teacher that slowly teaches its owner about the laws of Heaven and Earth, making the lesson as easy and understandable as possible.
As for Emperor Materials, they do have laws inside of them as well. However, it is the law of the Emperor that cultivated them. Not only are those laws difficult to understand, but it also belongs to someone else.
If someone comprehended them, they might acquire some powerful divine abilities, but their path of cultivation would be forever cut off.
When it comes to Innate herbs, they also have some law embedded inside of them. If someone wanted to use them to their fullest potential, they have to activate the power inside of them.
And what's the best way to do so?
Comprehend the law inside of them and resonate with it.
However, here comes another problem. To be able to comprehend the law, a Primordial Spirit is required and Wang Wei does not have one.
He once asked Wu Hong if his Paragon-quality could bypass this restriction, she told him that it was possible, but a certain price must be paid.
For example, he has to change to another cultivation system and recast his Dao Foundation.
Of course, he could still comprehend the law without a Primordial Spirit or changing cultivation system. The only problem is that his heaven-defying comprehension will be rendered to an ordinary genius.
In other words, he will take a very long time to comprehend the law.
Wang Wei frowned as his thoughts reached this conclusion.
"Wait," he suddenly muttered. "Why am I in such a hurry?"
He realized that his state of mind was wrong; he seemed in too much hurry for success.
Right now, he was at the Peak of the Divine Body Realm while most of his competitors were still in the Human Stage. Even if he took his time to either cultivate his blood or reach the Primordial Spirit Realm, it did not matter.
He was just given them time to catch up to him.
Additionally, having a faster cultivation speed did not really matter that much in this world. Even if he cultivated to the Quasi-Emperor Realm as soon as possible, he could not reach the next realm.
Only after most if not all the members of his generation reach a certain realm will Heavenly Dao create the Heaven Will and launch the Batte of Emperor.
So, Wang Wei took a deep breath to calm himself down and adjust his state of mind. He could take his time to comprehend the law in the Wood Essence.
No matter how slow it was, it would still be useful once he succeeded.
