1138 Travel (IV)

As soon as Wang Wei arrived at his destination, he found a bleak world full of war and chaos - completely different from the peaceful atmosphere of the Mortal Heart World. Immortal Cultivators everywhere used their artifacts and various spells to attack each other. The battle seemed to be between a group of armored individuals and regularly dressed cultivators.

No one noticed Wang Wei's sudden appearance, so he was observing this war like it was nothing but a movie.

'I should be in the Mortal Realm, but I don't feel any sense of restraint. Did the war destroy the boundaries between the mortal, spirit, and immortal world?' Wang Wei flew around while checking things. He nodded in satisfaction after seeing the mortals in this world did not suffer from this devastating war.

Wang Wei then ascended to the Immortal Realm since it was the place where the war was the most intense. As expected, Immortal powerhouses from all paths fought nonstop, trying to kill each other as swiftly as possible.

'I have to give Zhu Tao credit. I didn't think he could convince so many people to be on his side."

Boom!

Someone exploded themselves, releasing a terrifying power that devastated the surrounding spatial integrity of this area while killing countless people in the process. However, this was just the beginning, as even more people exploded themselves as a last act of desperation.

"Are you guys crazy?" yelled a Divine General from the Pursuing Longevity's court.

"You and that bastard Zhu Tao have ruined our path of immortality; you have destroyed our way of life. So, even if I'm going to die, I'll make you pay."

Boom! The explosion once again created countless casualties despite the Divine General's attempt to stop or contain it. The good news is he survived, but his injuries were severe. So, he did not hesitate to crush a talisman to teleport him back to the court. Wang Wei smiled before teleporting away, A handsome Zhu Tao sat on his throne, hands on his temple, his eyes dazed as he listened to these people's reports. All he could think about was how things got so out of control. His dream was to show that Energy-based Cultivation Systems were not the weakest, so after his experience with Ao Shen, he was happy to bring the Law Resonance Method back home.

However, he discovered a terrifying truth-his world was more complicated than he thought. The Pursuing Longevity World was part of the Commerce Hub despite being on the low end of members due to their more conservative ideas about dealing with foreign worlds. The hub wanted access to their cultivation system and environment due to how much lifespan it granted, while their sect needed some rare resources that went extinct.

However, if that were true, why hasn't the Pursuing Longevity World ever added the Law Resonance to their system? They would have known and come in contact with it through the hub, but it never happened.

Zhu Tao then learned of an ancient force that had been secretly controlling the world from the shadows. This force placed the Immortal Source in this world, prevented any changes to the Immortal Cultivation System, and is also why the Commerce Hub did not have a much larger influence.

He could not accept such a thing and ended all this farce. Zhu Tao did not only want to make the Immortal Cultivation System more powerful; he wanted to completely eliminate it. However, everyone persuaded him that his attempt was useless because the former Eternal of this world tried and failed miserably.

As for the Lasting Immortal Order? He did not care about these losers. They once had a brilliant era in the upper dimension in which they were one of the leading factions, for the philosophy of the Immortal Path was not weaker than any other path. However, after suffering terrible blows to their cause and believing that the other paths might retaliate, they changed their focus on preserving the Immortal Path as much as possible.

So, during the Innate-Acquired War, they sent members of their orders to the lower dimension with one purpose: preserve as many pure Energy-Based Cultivation Systems as possible. They sent all kinds of unique Qi Sources-mostly Immortal-to fuse with worlds and encouraged their development. Most of their branches have failed in the current era as most Energy-Based Systems will incorporate law utilization after interacting with other worlds.

They only have a few surviving branches (less than 5) scattered throughout the Endless Void, and the Pursuing Longevity World was their greatest success, but now, even that one was about to fall. Wang Wei did not even know whether their sects in the upper dimension survived since he guessed that the parasites might not touch the Paragon Lineages, but they won't have scruples for the Immortal Kings or Dao Monarchs Lineages.

"So, you're here," Zhu Tao said with a deep sigh.

"I am."

"Can I reason with you?"

"As long as I walk here with the Immortal Source, I'm open to any discussions and deals. But don't go too far - I can still take it and walk away."

Zhu Tao's lips twitched before exhaling to gather his thoughts. "I want time and resources to reach the strength to end this war alone."

"That's easy," Wang Wei replied. "An ambassador will come to this world because of the report that someone broke the rules and attacked mortals. All fights must be stopped during the investigation until a verdict is reached."

Zhu Tao's eyes lit up.

"This should buy you the time you want. As for the resources? Someone from my sect will contact you for the exchange. Satisfied?"

"More than satisfied."

"Good." Wang Wei raised his hand, and a blue orb with a pure and noble aura appeared on his palm. Such rare resources are the kind of deep hidden foundations that he will leave the Dao Opening Sect to ensure they survive the destruction of the Heavenly Emperor Era.

"Since I'm so satisfied with our deal, I will give you a parting gift." Wang Wei snapped his finger. "No one will remember we had this conversation. But you should also hide the fact the Immortal Source is gone."

Zhu Tao's eyes lit up. Such a simple act saved his pride, and he could not ask for much. He glanced at his ministers, and as expected, no one remembered Wang Wei showing up or their conversation.
