Chapter 1132 Path of Skill
1132 Path of Skill
Wang Wei's eyes floated to the Southern Continent, directly on the Origin Pill Dao Sect. The vision originated from there, and more importantly, he saw the entire sect was on high alert as all their formation was activated. Wang Wei squinted before continuing to observe.
A few minutes later, the sky above the Myriad Emperor World changed as someone or something materialized: the Eye of True Heavenly Dao. The eye ignored everybody as it focused on the Origin Pill Dao Sect for a few minutes. Then, it did something that shocked many people: it released a Heaven Will to someone.
A figure soon floated from the Origin Pill Dao Sect and sat cross-legged in the void as they absorbed the Heaven Will.
'Lou Cheng,' thought Wang Wei with focused eyes. He did not say a word or intervene in any way possible; he just observed. Lou Cheng's aura rapidly increased, but to everyone's surprise - except Wang Wei and a few - it stopped when he was around 16% Grand Dao Source.
People immediately thought the first non-Eternal would be born in this era. While most were sad about this news, others felt relieved as this generation had slowly become an anomaly. Many cultivators felt this generation had raised the standard too high, which would affect the legacy of future Emperors and Heavenly Emperors.
However, the few wise individuals quickly took notice of something - the eye was still there. As expected, golden merit descended from the Heavens to enter Lou Cheng's body. Without a doubt, his cultivation rose to 20% Grand Dao, and he condensed his first golden lotus behind him.
Then, while his body was still enveloped by the golden hue from the merit, he soon condensed the second flower, signaling he had cast his Dao Will. All eyes were on him to watch for the third and final flower. The people saw a phantom of it rapidly condensing, and people believed it was already guaranteed that a ner Eternal would be born.
Swish!
The golden aura on Lou Cheng's dispersed before the third flower condensed, so it dispersed. A powerful aura emanated from his body with some flavor of an Eternal, but the people knew it was not - they'd seen too many and would not fail to recognize it.
The world gave birth to a Pseudo Eternal. Although not as good as just a First Class, people were still satisfied that this generation would not continue to show its upward trend indefinitely. Meanwhile, the Origin Pill Dao Sect people were somewhat dissatisfied but would never express it outward. Regardless of the circumstances, they had "cultivated" a new Great Emperor.
"I am the Meticulous Pill Emperor," Lou Cheng declared in a calm tone, his voice echoing worldwide. A terrifying vision swept the entire world community to celebrate his birth, and after bowing to the sky, True Heavenly Dao dissipated. Lou Cheng looked in the direction of the court before disappearing.
"The path of skill," Wang Wei muttered.
Primordial Chaos:
Wang Wei was deep in thought after watching Lou Cheng proving the Dao. he sensed something and woke up, gazing at Yan Liling's projection.
"What just happened?" She watched everything but was still confused about how Lou Cheng proved the Dao. She was not the only one, as Wang Wei was probably the only one who saw the deeper secrets.
"Dao Proving Pill," he said.
"A pill that can make you an Emperor? No, it did not look like he swallowed any pill."
"He basically displayed enough skills to trigger a hidden mechanism of Heaven and Earth, which then rewarded him with a Heaven Will."
"Is that possible?" asked Yan Liling. "In hindsight, it makes sense given how the Heaven Will is decided in the Myriad Pill World." Only Alchemists proved the Dao in that world; their battle is just a display of their skills for Heavenly Dao to judge.
"You should think of the larger implications of this method," reminded Wang Wei.
"Larger implications?" Yan Liling frowned. "You mean a path to transcendence?"
"Exactly. Lou Cheng is nothing but the Flame Emperor's pawn to test his experiment on his transcendent path. Luckily for you, it's a path that might suit you."
Yan Liling suddenly felt a little restless due to excitement. "Did you, by any chance, get your hands on the formula for the Dao Proving Pill?"
"No, that's the Flame Emperor's property, and I don't dare touch it."
"That's a shame."
"Not really," Wang Wei said calmly as he looked in the distance. "An opportunity might be coming soon."
Yan Liling's eyes lit up: "Don't forget to send it to me after you get it." She dispersed her projection, and less than thirty seconds later, Wang Wei received notification that someone wished to meet him.
