Wang Wei sat cross-legged on the floor as Elder Dan injected energy into his body, repairing his injured body, soul, and Dao Tree. Then, Origin One suddenly appeared in the room.
He looked at Wang Wei and felt he was different; he felt a sense of peacefulness and completeness. Origin One secretly nodded as he guessed he must have significantly benefited during his outing.
“You really are a troublemaker,” he said as he looked at the latter’s terrible state.
“Trouble follows me like a vulture to dead meat,” shrugged Wang Wei.
“So, who made you in such a state?”
“Unless you want to be involved in a taboo, don’t ask.”
“No need,” he shook his head; he already felt something wrong when he saw Wang Wei was the only one who returned. However, after seeing no deep sadness emanating from him, and his Dao Heart was intact, he felt relieved.
“You remind me of a young Qiyaun,” added Origin One.
“Oh, was my ancestor a troublemaker as well?”
“I was the Dao Protector of these three little brats as they traveled throughout the Endless Void,” said Origin One with a look of reminisce.
“Yan Hai had quite the temper when she was young, and with her unparallel talent, she got into a lot of trouble. Wang Qishan was a very curious individual, and with his ideas that often contradicted the time, he also made a lot of enemies.
“Only Li Ming was the voice of reason; he was the calm and rational one of the group. However, once you angered him, he was truly a scary individual.
“Three of them were people of great destiny. So, once they were together, they were as bad as you when it came to attracting trouble.”
“The ancestors’ stories seemed quite interesting,” nodded Wang Wei. “I always felt it was a pity Battle Maniac did become an Eternal Emperor.”
“He was destined to have such an achievement,” replied Origin One.
“Oh? His talent should have been more than enough.”
“Heavenly Dao cannot tolerate a sect to have three Eternal Emperors–let three consecutive ones; it would break the power balance of the entire lower dimension.”
He had his suspicion after the sudden and legendary rise of the Sword Casting Villa’s founder. And after Li Ming only became a Pseudo-Emperor, he affirmed his suspicions.
Origin One sighed with some helplessness, “It’s all about balance. Back in their era, most worlds had just survived the Null Era, leaving them with broken civilizations. If the Dao Opening Sect had three Eternal Emperors, it would have the power to conquer the Endless Void.
“Even to the present, there have been only two factions with Two Eternal Emperors. I guess if it were not for the current situation, it would have become a hundred times more challenging for you to become an Eternal Emperor.”
“No, the Spirit Genesis Sect is probably going to have a third one as well, so it’s balanced out,” replied Wang Wei with a frown. “The only issue is my father and the others.”
“Your father’s talent is also unparallel. With your destiny protecting him, he won’t have an issue. However, if you want the others to become Eternals….” Origin One shook his head.
Wang Wei grunted as he predicted this outcome. With Li Jun, Yan Liling, and his mother’s talent, they met the requirement to become Eternal Emperors. However, there is a tiny chance they will succeed.
‘Heavenly Dao is on my side, but it is still a program that will execute its orders. So, it will not be lenient on me and maintain the balance. So, my only option for the others might be the Dusk Emperor’s method of becoming a Boundless Paragon.’
“Let’s not mention these things for now,” added Wang Wei. “Does the sect has good ways for me to temper my body?”
He wanted to see if there was a way to increase his strength as much as possible in the last few hundred years. Currently, only his body and Law Comprehension have room for improvement.
However, Law Comprehension takes time, and the body is difficult to temper unless he used the method he’s been preparing for after becoming a Great Emperor.
For example, the poisons Yan Liling raised for him. Or, began cultivating the [Fiendgod 12 Revolutions]. Over the years, he modified this method and even created the embryonic form of the 10th Revolution.
However, he still wanted to wait until he became an Emperor before completing the technique and cultivating it.
Origin One frowned before saying, “I can think of one method that Mortal can use. However, there might be some hidden dangers, so you decide whether to use it or not.”
“What method?”
“Follow me.”
Origin One led him to a secret realm in the sect where he saw nine pools of blood. Some were golden, pure red, white, and even black. And from each blood, he sensed a different power or Dao.
“Is this?”
“Yes, Emperor Bloods from the ancestors.”
Wang Wei’s eyes lit up after seeing this; this should be some good stuff. “If we have such a thing, why not baptize young children with the Emperor’s Blood to increase their talent?”
“We have done this before,” said Origin One. “However, the blood contains their imprint. After entering the Void Shattering Realm, the imprint will forcibly change the Law of these children.
“So far, only two people successfully fought against that process–Hell Judgment and Rainbow. However, I suspect it is the reason they are only First Class Emperor and not Pseudo Eternal.”
“Is this the hidden danger you said?”
“Yes. Although you have Great Emperor’s power, your essence is still Mortal and can be influenced by their imprint. So, you decide whether to take the risk.”
“Forget it,” replied Wang Wei. He was so close to the final battle, and he did not want to take risks that could complicate things.
“It’s up to you.”
Wang Wei did not waste time and left to see his family.
“Wei’er, you’re back? Where is Hong’er?” asked Yu Yan, who was sewing a new set of clothes; she was almost done with the process and planned to refine it into an artifact afterward.
“She’s gone.”
She paused, “We knew this day might come. Are you okay?”
“I will manage.”
“Your grandfather left his retreat. Let’s have a family dinner.”
Wang Wei walked to the backyard and saw his father slowly practicing the sword. Meanwhile, his grandfather was reading a book. He immediately frowned as he saw the latter.
“What’s wrong with you?” he could feel a breath of decay on his grandfather’s body, which only appears to people close to their lifespan limit.
“I overdid it a little,” replied Wang Chang, and Wang Wei knew what he meant. His grandfather’s talent was genuinely subpar compared to his and his father’s. As such, even with the method created by Wang Wei, the final result of his training would be 1 to 2 Leaf.
However, he was ruthless and sacrificed his lifespan to increase his potential, thus achieving 3-Leaf Peak.
“In your current situation, even Elder Dan can’t easily fix you.” Sacrificing life span for potential was not the same as doing for a sudden burst in power. The damage was more severe.
“Don’t worry. With your Health Preserving Art, I can live for a few thousand more years,” replied Wang Chang calmly; he had made his choice and was at peace with it. Furthermore, he still has hope as long as his grandson becomes an Emperor.
However, he did not say these words because he did not want to put more pressure on Wang Wei.
“I’ll give you some Chaos Qi to absorb.”
“No need; use it before the battle.”
“Alright,” Wang Wei said as he no longer persuaded him.
The family had dinner, and they reassured Wang Wei everything would be alright without Wu Hong. Finally, Wang Wei prepared to spend the remaining 400 years in retreat.
However, he suddenly had the idea of checking out the Source Qi Space.
‘With my current strength, it should be no problem to take a long.’
Without hesitation, he used his Qi Flower Ability to access the Source Qi Space. Wang Wei found himself in a world that was blue and white; the ground, sky, and air seemed the color blue.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom
‘Is this mountain made of Qi?’
He used his Divine Sense to check, and his assumption was correct; this mountain was not composed of matter but pure energy or Qi.
‘This is fascinating,’ he commented as he tried to teleport before the mountain. However, he discovered it was a thousand times more challenging to teleport to the distance, and it was easier to fly.
‘What a great restriction.’
Wang Wei flew to the mountain to analyze it. However, he suddenly felt a sense of danger and flew into the distance.
Boom!
The mountain exploded out of nowhere.
“This power is very close to Third Class. Is this place so dangerous? Moreover, what are the rules and regulations?” he muttered. Wang Wei pondered for a moment before deciding to check the other areas.
However, he suddenly stopped as he noticed an abnormality in his body.
‘My lifespan is reducing with each passing minute,’ he thought with a frown. “Is this because I’m still a mortal and do not have the Immortal Essence of a Tier 11 Cultivator?’
Wang Wei weighed the pros and cons of the situation before deciding to return once he became an Emperor. So, he left the [Source Qi Space] and returned to his retreat.
The sect’s Emperors left the unique status of them Preaching the Dao. He decided to use them during this retreat.
Time passed, and the world became quiet as every Heaven Chosens prepared for the final preparations. Everyone thought this peace would remain the same until the time of the final battle.
However, three years before the date, something happened that caught the attention of the entire world.
Wang Wei left his place of retreat as he floated above the sect. Many people followed him as they looked at the sky.
A cloud of purple shrouded the entire world. Dao Lotus, music, and golden clouds scattered above the Heavens.
“Someone prove the Dao,” commented Wang Chang.
“Xu Shi,” suddenly said Wang Wei.
“You think it’s her.”
“Very likely.”
“In that case, she’s most likely an Eternal Emperor.”
Once an Emperor appears, there will be visions and auspicious signs throughout the world and even the entire World Community. However, once an Eternal Emperor appears, their vision will also spread to nearby World Communities.
As such, Wang Wei believes this sign is from the Emperor of the Martial Hegemony World Community.
“I wonder how far her vision spread,” added Wang Tian.
“She’s very talented and might become an Eternal Supreme,” commented Wang Wei. “So, it should be pretty far.”
“What about your vision?” asked Yu Yan with a smile.
“You can wait and see,” replied Wang Wei with a confident smile. “Anyway, it will truly be brilliant and a sight to see.”
“We are waiting.”
