After arriving at his destination, Wang Wei did not waste any time. He summoned the Great Thousand World’s River of Fate and entered. Then, he took out the Fate Law Fruit, and using it, he started gathering the power of Fate to condense what looked like a fetus.
A few hours later, the fetus changed into Wang Wei’s face and build, growing into a teenager about 16.
Wang Wei looked at his sleeping incarnation, and his eyes turned completely gray, with noticeable strings flashing across them. It took him a few minutes before sighing loudly, full of disappointment.
“I knew it. I’m the ninth incarnation,” he muttered. Based on his calculation, his real body was the real ninth incarnation, or the first if he wanted to be technical.
As for this one he created, he technically could not fuse with him after reaching the Quasi-Emperor Realm as part of the incarnation. And if this clone also cultivated the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture], Wang Wei knew he would explode and die if he tried to fuse with it along with the other clones.
In other words, he could only have 8 incarnations, plus himself, for a total of 9.
“Nine is the extreme,” he muttered with a wry smile as his shoddy attempt at reaching the power of 10 incarnations failed. He took a few seconds to compose himself since he had already expected this.
Furthermore, it was not as if the Fate Incarnation was useless. Having another clone help him understand the law of Fate will help him achieve a golden Law Tree like Di Tian or come close to it.
Clone techniques that can help cultivators increase their understanding are valuable in the Myriad Emperor World and across all World Communities. And that is because most clone techniques cannot do this. Otherwise, a person like Su Ya would be terrifying.
When it comes to her scripture, Wang Wei believed it could help with comprehension, but not all her clones were functional. A large portion of them should be useful, while most were useless. So, Su Ya would have been quite the competitor once she reached the Void Shattering Realm.
Wang Wei also wanted to use a large number of clones for his comprehension. Unfortunately, there are restrictions from Heaven and Earth for these techniques for people with high-quality souls like himself.
Luckily, his Spirit Particles and Future Buddha Self are more than enough for him.
He looked at the Fate Incarnation one last time before leaving. This incarnation’s purpose will be to comprehend the Law of Fate. Wang Wei connected the incarnation’s soul to the River of Fate to grant it a long life span, at the price of not being able to cultivate and never leaving the River of Fate.
As such, it will spend all its life comprehending laws for him.
After ensuring everything was normal, Wang Wei hopped inside his golden chariot and returned home; he had been traveling in the Endless Void for more than a month.
On his journey home, he sensed something nearby, so he changed direction. And after traveling for a while, he discovered a Great Thousand World.
Feeling the excitement of his Qi Luck Dragon, he used his Divine Sense to look inside that world. As soon as he entered, he sensed something not far away where he saw a powerful sect.
All the disciples and elders seemed to be on guard and activated the sect’s protecting formation. It took Wang Wei a few minutes to find the flaws in the many Supreme Tier Arrays before seeing what the fuss was about.
In one of the mountains, a middle-aged man sat cross-legged with closed eyes. A strange fluctuation emanated from his body, and his face contorted with immense pain; his face was pale, and sweats kept dropping from his forehead.
After secretly observing for a while, Wang Wei’s eyes lit up as he understood what was happening. This person was attempting to subdue this world’s Heavenly Dao with his Willpower to force it to condense a Dao Source Seed for him. In other words, he was trying to become a Dao Ancestor.
‘It seems like he is not going to make it,’ thought Wang Wei. Then, an idea came to his mind. He controlled his Divine Sense to contact this person without disturbing his concentration; this task required great control of the soul and Spiritual Power.
“Hello, fellow Daoist,” said Wang Wei after entering this man’s Sea of Consciousness, where he saw his Primordial Spirit sitting in the same position as him, fighting a cloud-like entity.
“Hello, how can I help you, fellow Daoist?’ replied Daoist Red Cloud, who immediately realized something was wrong. Not only did this person invade his Sea of Consciousness without noticing, but he could also talk to him without affecting his focus on the battle against Heavenly Dao.
“There is no need to be on guard,” replied Wang Wei. “I will be succinct: I’ve come to make a deal with you.”
Daoist Red Cloud rapidly assessed the situation. Even at his peak, he might not be the opponent of this person. And in his current situation, he was vulnerable to the slightest disturbance.
So, it would be best to be prudent in dealing with the situation. Furthermore, this person was kind enough to use a method that would not disturb him, so he should reciprocate the same level of respect.
“Please elaborate, fellow Daoist.”
“Do you have any innate treasures of the five elements, healing properties, or ores? Please, answer truthfully.”
Daoist Red Cloud briefly pondered before saying: “I have two innate herbs of the five elements and one of the shadow element.”
These three herbs are one of the main reasons he could reach the current step and are thus considered his greatest secret. Nevertheless, he went on a whim and decided to tell the truth.
“Excellent,” Wang Wei replied with a smile. “I will help you with your current tribulation. But I want the herbs in exchange.”
Daoist Red Cloud immediately frowned, “Fellow Daoist, it’s not that I don’t want to, but there is no way for foreign aid in my current situation.”
Wang Wei did not say anything further before raising his hand. He accessed a small portion of his Willpower and condensed it into an amulet. He then removed his imprints and connection to it, along with all his Karmic connections.
When Daoist Red Cloud saw the talisman, his eyes lit up as he understood how this cultivator could help him. By absorbing this talisman, his Willpower will be momentarily boosted, thus granting him the strength to conquer Heavenly Dao and pass the Dao Ancestor Tribulation.
Thinking about how immortality was so close to him, Daoist Red Cloud instantly became excited to the point of losing control. Luckily, he is a man with a high enough state of mind, so he quickly controlled himself.
Wang Wei secretly nodded his head after seeing this. Heavenly Dao will assess their Dao Heart, cultivation, and state of mind for any True Monarchs trying to become Dao Ancestors in the lower realm.
If someone does not meet the requirements, the Willpower Tribulation will not even appear.
“I accept your deal,” said Daoist Red Cloud after briefly pondering. He waved his hand, and three glowing herbs appeared in the Sea of Consciousness, and without saying anything else, he gave them to Wang Wei.
Admiring the latter’s trust, Wang Wei gave him the talisman without doing anything sneaky.
Red Cloud did not hesitate to absorb the talisman, and he immediately felt the boost in his Willpower. Since this boost came in the form of a treasure, it is technically counted as using foreign aid like treasure, so it was acceptable for the tribulation.
Meanwhile, Wang Wei opened his eyes in the Golden Chariot to look at the three herbs in front of him.
“Is this what it feels like to be a Dao Overlord? It’s better than I anticipated.”
With these two elemental herbs, he was now only short of 8 other innate treasure for another incarnation. As for the shadow herb, it was perfect for Wang Ju to become his shadow.
With a smile on his face, Wang Wei activated the Golden Chariot to its full strength to rush home. He did not want to stay here in case this Daoist suddenly changed his mind after becoming a Dao Ancestor.
A few minutes later, he finally arrived home and entered the Myriad Emperor World. Unfortunately for him, the moment he arrived, something occurred.
The clouds above him changed by turning red.
“Immortal Annihilation Thunder?” muttered Wang Wei as he looked at the sky. Then, his face became ugly as he calculated what was going on. His action broke some rules by intervening in another person’s Immortal Tribulation.
So, Heavenly Dao is going to punish him. According to his divination, Wang Wei knew if he were not now a Fateless, his action would have brought out the Divine Punishment Thunder instead of the Immortal Annihilation Thunder, which was reserved for Immortal Tier cultivators.
Wang Wei acted quickly and took out a talisman from his space ring.
“Ancestor Wucheng, save me.”
He then relaxed after sending the talisman.
“Luck is truly a double edge sword,” Wang Wei muttered. When the first red lightning bolt descended from the sky, an enormous hand covering the entire Domain came out of nowhere to block it.
As Wang Wei looked at the hand, he could not help but shake his head. The domain he was in was small, but it was the size of a couple of dozens of galaxies by the standard of Earth from his previous life.
But now, a hand was the same size.
Sometimes, Wang Wei has to shake his head at how absurd the cultivation world can be. Common sense and logic seemed to be a joke to them.
A few minutes later, the sky returned to normal, and Wang Wucheng appeared in front of the chariot.
“Kid, you know how to make trouble. What exactly did you do this time?”
Wang Wei put away his chariot before answering: “I only helped someone pass their Dao Ancestor Trial. Well, I think he should pass.”
Wang Wucheng gave him a strange look.
“Kid, do you not realize how serious it is to have such an ability?”
Wang Wei pondered for a moment, “I see. Most Emperors–even Eternals–have a limit to the number of Immortal Powerhouses they can create. But with this method, I can theoretically surpass this limit and even ignore it as long as I can withstand the backlash.”
“It’s good that you understand.”
“Well, it doesn’t matter.”
“Oh, why?”
“If my plans succeed, after becoming an Emperor, Immortal Tier powerhouses will become extremely common in the Myriad Emperor World.”
