The last thing Wang Wei had to deal with was the Commerce Hub. With the help of the Star Lord Mountain, the Dao Opening Sect has established some foundation in that place, exchanging resources with hundreds of World Communities.
Since they had just established themselves, their powers and influence were not up to par, but Wang Wei wanted to take it slow. So far, the profit from the Commerce Hub has increased the annual yield sect by 5%. Although this number looked small, it’s extraordinary considering the resources the Dao Opening Sect acquires each month.
It is similar to a person who makes 10,000 Yuan a month, increasing his salary by 5%, and a billionaire doing the same; the amount of money each makes is vastly different.
‘The Commerce Hub has so much potential,’ thought Wang Wei. ‘When I get my hands on it, I can expand it to all world communities in the lower dimension. And if Heavenly Dao allowed it, I could expand the scope to the upper dimension.’
Beyond Tier 10 resources are impossible to exchange, but it would greatly benefit the lower dimension if they could trade with the Eternal Ascension World.
‘Not even Tier 10 resources. I’m sure the upper dimension has a larger quantity of Mortal Resources and more variety.’
A perfect example would be resources to temper the body. The lower dimension might, let’s say, have a million unique spiritual herbs. But the upper dimension would have at least 1000 times that number.
With more variety, body refiners do not have to worry about their bodies having immunity to resources, making the body refining path more challenging in the later stages. Some people have unique physiques, and certain medicines work better than others. With access to the upper dimension’s resource pool, more people can cultivate by refining the resources suited for them.
The benefit will not only apply to body refining but soul, energy, healing, law comprehension, alchemy, and all professions.
‘Although there is a low chance of succeeding, I should try.’ Of course, Wang Wei has to worry about the Seven Suns if his plan even works.
‘Maybe this is not a good idea. Or, one I can only accomplish after getting rid of them,’ he thought with a frown, thinking about the feasibility. Even if he could get True Heavenly Dao’s approval, he has to find a way to bypass these parasites. They have absolute control over the upper dimension.
‘The rebels. There should be a rebel group opposing them. Maybe, I can trade with them.’ Wang Wei does not know whether they would be interested in the resources in the lower dimension, but maybe they would be interested in something.
‘Talent. Is it possible to send them talented individuals from the lower dimension?’ Any faction would kill to have talented individuals as their backbones, not to mention this struggling rebellion with probably a high death rate.
The problem is that only Great Emperors can bring people from the lower dimension through ascension, but he has yet to hear of sending people there. So, he did not know if it was feasible.
‘With my power, maybe I can do it,’ thought Wang Wei with bright eyes. ‘Most of the people who will lose their Heaven Will in this Ultimate Glorious Age are extremely talented individuals. If they go to the upper dimension and get their hands on a Heaven Will, most will become Pseudo and real Eternal Emperors. I’m sure the rebels would love to have such a fighting force behind them.’
The more Wang Wei thought about this idea, the more he liked it and the more feasible he found it.
‘These talents will be the vanguard until I ascend. They can set up a foundation for me to use to deal with the parasites. I can also cultivate a force in advance.’
Wang Wei knew he could not rely on the upper dimension Dao Opening Sect after ascending. Their current situation must be precarious without the founders, and his presence will only bring them more trouble. So, having a force of his own after ascending will significantly benefit him.
‘I’m getting ahead of myself. I don’t even know how Heaven Wills are acquired in the upper dimension.’ Although he had his guesses, he was not entirely sure. So, he shamelessly called his wife again and asked. Wang Wei has little information about the upper dimension from Gu Xuan and Ao Tian’s memories. However, they are both incomplete and biased. A lot of it he has to deduce based on specific memories. So, he wanted to know more from his wife.
Then, after getting what he wanted and swearing not to talk to her, he continued his planning.
‘12,000 Heaven Will: I’m sure the rebels have ways to get some of them. If not, these talented would be fine in the Emperor Path Arena.’
True Heavenly Dao should protect these arenas from the paws of the Seven Moons, but Wang Wei was not sure about Supreme Unity. Hopefully, Maitreya would restrain him.
‘From Xiao Tiandi and the other geniuses, I can deduce that the Eternal Ascension World’s current spirit is laziness, fear, and lack of ambitions. So, the powerful factions would have stopped sending their geniuses to Arena 12.’
These parasites have done everything to weaken the world and prevent terrifying geniuses from showing up. So, as long as Wang Wei sends these lower-dimension geniuses into the Emperor Path Arena, they can easily prove the Dao.
‘I don’t have to worry about their Karma with the Karma Washing Water,’ he continued to ponder, thanking the Heavens for his Karma Incarnation. No, he thanked himself for being wise, cultivating the Dao of Karma, creating the incarnations, and giving them missions.
‘No, they will still owe me karma, and I will ensure that,’ continued Wang Wei.
If he has no way to suppress these people, how could they easily work for him? So, they must owe him a tremendous karmic debt.
‘I need to find a way to contact the rebels. From Gu Xuan, I know there is a rumor Emperor Kong is secretly funding the rebels. However, the latter is completely fine and has not been clean-up by the parasites; he’s not simple.’
He pondered the possibility of contacting Emperor Kong through the Academy and coming to an agreement or alliance.
‘Then there is the woman: Xu Junyao. My instinct tells me she also might be related to the rebels.’ Although Wang Wei relied on his instinct to conclude this fact, he also has an observation to back it up.
Xu Junyao is the most beautiful woman in the Eternal Ascension World, yet no Paragons have tried to force her into their harem or ruin her beauty. With her Everlasting Empyrean strength, she would not be able to stop them. And Wang Wei does not think that not even one of the parasites did not desire her.
Subsequently, there is her apprentice, Xiao Tiandi. Anyone who becomes that guy master should know the danger of such a talented individual. The parasites cannot accept the existence of Xiao Tiandi or anyone related to him.
Knowing this, Xu Junyao still took him in and probably sheltered him; she’s perhaps one of the main reasons he was still alive today.
‘Three possibilities: Xu Junyao is a master political strategist and uses her beauty to lure one of the parasites to shelter her. Maybe, even lure more than one of them and form a balance of power where they all desire her, so they decide to leave her alone to prevent infighting.
‘She has a hidden trump card that even they have to be wary of. Or, she has a backer, most likely, Maitreya.’
Numerous thoughts flashed in his mind before squinting. ‘Or maybe all three,’ thought Wang Wei with a sneer. ‘Worthy of a woman who has a love fate connection to me: how could she be simple.’
Of course, he knew there was a chance none of these deductions were true, and she was really just a beautiful woman. However, he leaned more toward the first possibility.
Wang Wei sat straight, thinking about the future and planning ahead. The Elders were suspicious of why he was thinking about the sect affairs so intensely, but they did not dare bother him. Although he did not release any aura and looked like an ordinary mortal, his body naturally released a momentum that demanded respect and authority.
‘I need to calm down and not get ahead of myself,’ thought Wang Wei. ‘There has never been a direct connection between the lower and upper dimensions. However, we are currently in an adverse situation.
‘True Heavenly Dao wants the world to prosper, most likely as a way to fight against Supreme Unity. Maybe, it will allow it.’
Wang Wei decided to try this method. If not, he will try secretly smuggling. The Spirit Genesis Sect can hide from True Heavenly Dao, and this method is possible with their method.
‘I can contact Emperor Kong. And if he does not work, I have two candidates,’ thought Wang Wei. ‘The second one is risky. But if it works….’ He squinted his eyes before making a final plan. He finally finished his paperwork before looking at the elders:
“Summon Jin Mengyao to see me.”
