Beyond Wang Wei’s expectations, Feng Heng did not show up immediately. No, the latter waited a month before sneaking to the place he was. Plus, he made it appear as if he just passing by, and nothing else.
Then, Wang Wei emerged in front of him.
With a calm look on his face, Feng Heng asked: “Sacred Son Wang Wei? Is there something I can do for you?”
Wang Wei scrutinized everything about Feng Heng, from his speech pattern to his facial expression, to his body language; to his eyes, he did not find anything odd.
He could not understand why the future sect master of the Taiyi Profound Gate–a Taoist Sect that hated Buddhism could help him cultivate that scripture.
“I’ll be straightforward. I receive divination that you would be able to help me cultivate this peerless cultivation technique.”
‘He’s not speaking?’ thought Feng Heng. ‘Is there something wrong with his voice? No, most likely he is cultivating some sort of technique that requires him to remain silent. I should watch out for that.’
With his Divine Sense, Feng Heng could understand the hand signs and know perfectly fine what Wang Wei was saying.
“I think you have the wrong person.”
“It is a Buddhist Technique.”
Wang Wei did not detect any changes from Feng Heng even after saying that.
“In that case, you definitely have the wrong person.”
Wang Wei kept observing but he did not find anything. Whether it was Karma or Fate Line, everything was normal.
“Isn’t your reaction a bit mild?” he gestured. “From what I know, you people are usually very extreme when it comes to things related to Buddhism.”
Wang Wei was not lying. One of the reasons that the power of incense is not used or even frowned upon in this world is not just because of the events in the Incense Era.
The main reason is the fact that the Taiyi Profound Gate would pick a fight with anyone that tried to use the Power of Incense. No matter who it was, even the Dao Opening Sect.
And once they target someone, they would not stop. They were like starving dogs whose only meal was taken away from them. Because of their relentless pursuit, most sects just concluded that it was not worth it and stopped using incense–at least on the surface.
Feng Heng did not respond to these words, so Wang Wei continued:
“In that case, let’s settle everything with our fist–like usual. Do you want to fight here or go somewhere further?” The place that they were in was very close to the Taiyi Profound Gate.
Feng Heng frowned after hearing this as he knew that a battle was inevitable and his opponent seemed to determine to force out his Buddhist Dao.
So, he thought about it and a plan came to mind.
‘After I defeat him, I could convert him into a monk. As the heir to the most powerful sect in the world, if he could secretly help me, it would be easier to condense the luck of Buddhism and spread it to the world.’
Then, he flew in one direction while Wang Wei follow him, with his aura locked on his opponent to prevent him from running away. With their maximum speed a few dozen times faster than light, the two traveled more than a dozen Domains in just over an hour to a desolate place far away from the Taiyi Profound Gate.
And as soon as the two landed, they did not waste time and immediately began to fight.
A black and white ball appeared on Feng Heng’s hand and rushed towards Wang Wei with amazing speed, who raised his hand and blocked it. Immediately, he could feel that the skins on his palms were being destroyed at an alarming rate–almost as fast as his regeneration.
‘Interesting. Using the cycle of Yin and Yang to create unimaginable destruction. It’s true, all paths lead to the same destination.’
A black and white flame came from his hand and crushed the sphere. Then, he condensed the flame into an orb that looked eerily similar to Feng Heng’s attack before sending it back to him with even more speed.
‘Did he just learn my technique and copied it using the Yin-Yang Flame? This kid is truly a monster,’ thought Feng Heng. Just like Wang Wei, he raised his hand to touch the Flame Sphere, but then, it disappeared.
‘Instantly removing the Yin from the Yang, creating an imbalance and making this move useless. No, this is more than that.’
Intrigued, he used the same attack again, this time, there were more than 10 flame balls that rushed toward Feng Heng, who solved them with a frown on his face.
‘He used the Yin-Yang Eyes to see the flaws in my attack and directly targeted them.’
While thinking about this, he used his speed advantage to instantly appeared in front of Feng Heng and punched him. However, a shield appeared on the latter and easily blocked that attack.
‘What a wonderful use of Yin and Yang,’ thought Wang Wei as he unleashed a barrage of punches. He could tell that his opponent used the power of Yin and Yang to convert the force being his punch from a “strong force” to its opposite, ” a weak force,” rendering all its power useless in the process.
Meanwhile, Feng Heng was not in the best state under this barrage. Although he appeared as if everything was easy, only he knew that he had to be very focused on each of the attacks; he had to be as precise as possible because if he made one mistake, he knew that his shield would not hold.
Additionally, he discovered that he was lacking in terms of speed when compared to his opponent, so he had to be extra focused. Luckily, he had a wonderful pair of eyes.
ᴘᴀn ᴅᴀ- oᴠʟ, ᴄ.ᴏ.ᴍ Suddenly, his face changed as one of the punches exploded the shield that protected him. As a last resort, he used the Yin-Yang Escape Technique before turning into a black and white light and escaping with tremendous speed.
As he landed, Feng Heng had a more serious look on his face.
‘In that last punch, he used the power of Fate. As soon as I convert that attack into a weak force, he controlled the fate of that weak force and revert it to a strong force.
‘This was a perfect application of the Laws of Fate with Yin and Yang. Did he already know how to use this technique or did he learn it from our exchange?’
Feng Heng thought about it and refused to believe that it was the latter. Although he had met many incredible geniuses and even technically cultivated an Eternal Emperor himself, they were not that crazy to this extent.
‘It seems that I have to be serious in this battle.’
Feng Heng raised his hand to use the technique: Beginning of Space.
Immediately, Wang Wei felt as if time was instantly rewound in the surrounding, then, the space became chaotic before the surroundings turned into this dark and endless zone.
“Returning space to its beginning, to its state before existing; returning it to chaos,” muttered Wang Wei as he felt that his body was rapidly being decomposed by the primal chaos energy in the surroundings.
‘Is this what the Chaos Era would have looked like?’ he thought before activating his Innate Shield. However, he could feel that this was only buying him a small amount of time.
[Fate Restoration.]
Countless strings appeared from Wang Wei’s body and plunged into the chaotic void, then, the surrounding was restored to their original state. However, at that exact moment, he felt an attack coming behind him and he dodged.
Oddly though, he was still in his left hand. Wang Wei’s hand was perfectly fine, with no blood or any signs of destruction. However, this was only on the surface.
He could feel that his arm had no strength whatsoever. His powerful fleshly body was nonexistent in that arm.
‘He returned my arm to the beginning stages of my cultivation journey, right before I started cultivating. So, the essence of the Absolute Beginning Sutra might time.’
Without hesitation, Wang Wei exploded his arm and instantly regrew one, but to his surprise, the arm was still weak. So, he used the power of fate to restore them to their original shape and power.
While Wang Wei was doing this, Feng Heng was assaulted by countless strings. There were so many of them and they were so fast that they did not give him any time to react or go on the offensive.
All he could think about was why this guy was so fast. Plus, he could tell that his fate would be sealed if caught by these strings. And when he tried using his Yin-Yang Shield, these strings would instantly annihilate them.
Then, a black shield appeared to protect him: the Shield of Absolute Beginning. Anything that touched it will be turned to its original state, to its beginning state of nonexistence.
‘Has he developed the Yin-Yang Eyes to the point of seeing the future? The Feng Heng I met was not this talented at using his physique: it could even be said that he was even mediocre.
‘No, at that time, he claimed that he did not have the Yin-Yang Eyes. Something is indeed wrong with this guy.’
