1052 Hard Success, Transition & Transaction
(Unedited Chapter)

Wang Wei frowned as he watched Yan Liling in the simulation trying to condense the [Growth Soul Ring]. Things were not as simple as he imagined; the rules of Heaven and Earth allowed only the body to break the limit of 7-Leaf, meaning it was not easy to break or become the exception.
He began to help or assist her in the process. He showed her the soul's essence and allowed her to experience what it's like to have an Emperor Soul, followed by an Innate Paragon Soul. However, all of these did not help, and she still failed.
Yan Liling, let alone Wang Wei, were not people that easily gave up, especially the latter, who felt like someone was mocking him for trying to become an exception to the rules. So, he went extreme. He instilled LIang Shixing's memories of condensing his soul ring and Divine Flame into her mind. He allowed her to peep at the secrets of reincarnation, watching an infinite number of mortal souls experience life and death and how their souls develop in the process.
He used his sub-soul, Dao, to allow her to experience how every stimulus affected the soul, including negative emotions, positive emotions, trauma, willpower, ambitions, desires, cultivation, law baptism, injuries, healing, etc.
Wang Wei even showed her what it would be like to be a hive-mind creature with direct access to trillions of souls. Then, after years of effort and simulation, she finally succeeded.
"This...was way harder than I expected," commented Yan Liling as she saw the ring above her Primordial Spirit in her Sea of Consciousness. The process could be described as torturous, which would be putting it lightly. The only good news is her understanding of the soul has reached a level she never thought possible.
"That's because you weren't trying to become a God King. Otherwise, the process would not have been so stressful," explained Wang Wei, who felt both relief and anger that the process was so arduous.
"That's worrying."
"Indeed. I'm afraid only people with an extreme talent for the soul have a chance of succeeding in this method."
"So, this foundation is only for people with Professional Dao? And even only the very best of them?" summarized Yan Liling. In other words, only people like her, Tong Ruobing, and the deceased Chen Chen might have a chance. Wu Ming, who is on the same level as them, relies more on his unique physique and might fail. Lou Cheng also relies on his Innate Talent and risks failure as well. After all, Yan Liling used the [Force Control Skill], which is an even better version of his talent, but it was not enough for the procedure. nove(l)bi(n.)com
'The fact that there are three people with the talent for this kind of foundation is a testament to how many unparalleled geniuses this generation has,' observed Yan Liling.
Wang Wei groaned after hearing these words. He still has not given up on his father achieving Ten Supremacy and thought this method might allow him to refine an Innate Emperor Soul, but it appeared this attempt was futile.
'It seems dad might have to wait for a Foundation Re-establishment in the later years of his cultivation journey if he wants a chance at Ten Supremacy,' analyzed Wang Wei.
The majority of the people were lukewarm about this new change. By this time in the Era, Emperors and Eternals had become too normal. With the advancement of civilization and the Dream World, mortals are more connected and have more knowledge about the cultivation world. So, even with their relatively short lifespan, they have records of things that happened 10,000 years ago. Wang Wei once prayed for the mortal children that have to learn such a long history. Luckily for them, their spirit is higher than regular individuals.
The only people who genuinely care about Ao Shen's achievement are the top Lineages, as his new power increases the level of threat he poses, and the people who still refuse to acknowledge the rise or even presence of the demon race. Ao Shen and the demon have only become an even greater threat to these people. They even critiqued the Heavenly Emperor for his "passive" or even "encouraging" attitude toward the demon race.
Wang Wei did not care about how the world reacted to these changes. He looked at the Northern Continent, and a smile crept on his mouth as he thought of something, "Mom should be interested in fighting him once she also proves the Dao."
A battle of darkness: this should be a sight to see.
Wang Wei watched the demon race begin to celebrate their chief's ascension. Some of them started discussing making this day an annual celebration for their kind, and many agreed. They had just cultivated their first Eternal, and all future descendants should remember and celebrate such an act.
"There is a guest coming, so let's prepare," muttered Wang Wei before walking to the garden to prepare a table and tea. And as he expected, someone came to see him a few minutes later.
"Come, sit down."
Huo Fenghuang saw the preparation and frowned before sitting down. "Since you've expected my arrival, then you should know why I'm here."
"Not really. I only know you would be coming," replied Wang Wei. "I also deduced why you're here, but I rarely used my powers to know everything."
"I found that hard to believe."
"You could not imagine what it's like to have a conversation and know everything the other person will say or do down to the attoseconds. It's fine occasionally but begins to affect the mind the longer you use it."
"So, fate is a burden?" asked Huo Fenghuang in a tone that suggests Wang Wei she could not believe he would complain about such a powerful Dao.
"At least, to the current me, it is."
"Let's not talk about this." Huo Fenghuang decided to change the topic. "I came here to borrow merit. I promise to return them with extra compensation."
"Ao Shen's transition got to your head?"
"Although I don't want to admit it, it's true," nodded Hua Fenghuang. It irked her that the dragon had transitioned before her.
"Even so, there is no need to hurry. With enough time, you should be able to gather enough merit."
"But I don't want to wait any longer."
