"I'll be brief," Wang Wei stated, looking directly into Xi Sgangyan's eyes. "I heard rumors that the Celestial Clan secretly sells potent Emperor Qis. Is that true?"
Xi Shangyan frowned. "The clan did not tell me much about their actions, but it's very likely. We've used similar methods throughout history, especially during periods of chaos and strife."
'It seems she's telling the truth, but why is the Celestial Clan leaving her out of such information?' Wang Wei thought. 'Is it some kind of tactic to protect her, or because she's too weak and not part of the clan's core?' It then suddenly dawned on him that the cultivation realms of the Great Emperor are considered upper-middle class and not privileged to be the leaders of these top lineages.
Even if Xi Shangyan is extremely talented among the Celestial Race, she will not be treated as a leader-unless it is a special occasion.
'Currently, the power ceiling of most lineages is the Empyrean Realm, meaning Great Emperors have become much more valuable. It could be a problem if the Celestial Race has not changed their mindset to adapt to the current situation.' However, Wang Wei did not immediately accept this deduction of the Celestial Race as it was still possible that Xi Shangyan did not have access to such high-level knowledge because of her location in the lower dimension.
"Are you interested in continuing our alliance after ascending?" Wang Wei asked.
"You want us to sell special Qi directly to you?"
"Correct."
"No problem," Xi Shangyan directly agreed. She would have brought up continuing the alliance if he didn't. After all, her main objective was to find the destined individual to end the era and form strong ties with him.
"That was quick."
"It's a beneficial deal for both of us, so I don't see why not?"
"Good point," Wang Wei nodded. They chatted for a few seconds before Xi Shangyan left. Truth be told, Wang Wei was not that interested in the Celestial Race's Qis. With his Qi Flower Ability, he could do the same business and take a decent portion of the market. However, he was interested in getting to know the Celestial Race; he wanted to get close to them to determine what role they would play in the upcoming events.
Wang Wei glanced at the Dao Rhymes on the entire sect. He had felt there would be a sudden change in these things but stopped the process now that so many people were around. Everybody knew the Dao Opening Sect was the most powerful and wondrous lineage in the lower dimension. However, he still wanted to reduce people's jealousy and desire for his sect's foundation.
He watched as these Dao Rhymes condensed into a secret realm, creating the perfect environment for cultivating-especially comprehending the laws of Heaven and Earth. He pointed at the secret realm to mold it into a towering mountain with 10,000 stairs. The higher the stairs, the more intense the benefit of the Dao Rhymes became.
Wang Wei then added a formation that will release a Spiritual Pressure to test the disciples. They can ascend the stairs and receive the benefits by overcoming the pressure. The spiritual pressure is also an excellent way to strengthen the mind, soul, and spirit, and even have some effect on the Dao Heart.
"The last step," he muttered before proceeding to fuse the Four Dao Pillars to this secret realm, further increasing the boost this place was already granting. Now, after a disciple or elder reaches a particular step, they can focus on comprehending the 4-pillars.
"Excellent," Wang Wei muttered before suddenly thinking of an idea, so he once again pointed at this new secret realm. One of the preparations he made for his retreat was to copy the laws of every world in different world communities with the purpose of bettering his Dao by comparing the slight differences between worlds and world communities. He added this copy to this secret realm.
In other words, the users of this place can contemplate cultivation techniques, regular Dao/Law, the four pillars that embodied his sermon, or the differences between the laws of different worlds in the lower dimension.
"Let's call it the Dao Blessing Grotto-Heaven," Wang Wei muttered, satisfied with the name. As for the rules and requirements to use this Grotto-Heaven, that was someone else's problem.
"You tell me. What price will some Paragons be willing to offer for my ideas?" Chen Tong was silent. He wanted to say they were just ideas but knew this was nonsense.
"You don't have to do this," he argued. "What is the point of making an enemy of a Paragon of my caliber?"
"That's the only reason why you're still alive," Wang Wei replied. "However, once I have the strength, you better have something to repay or prepare to have your memory erased. No, I don't even have to wait that long. As long as my ancestors can return, I'm sure one or more of them would happily get the payment from you."
Chen Tong's face turned ugly. The idea he's stolen is worth such top lineages to send Paragons - even Boundless - after him.
"There is no need to take things this far. Let's talk and reach a compromise."
"You don't need to try to buy time," Wang Wei stated. "One of my powers as a Minor Three Realm Emperor is to declare someone an [Enemy of the World], and True Heavenly Dao will help me banish him. Although I can only use it once every few thousand Yuan Epochs and only in the lower dimension, it's worth using it on you.
"Lucky for you, I'm banishing you into the Source Qi Space, away from the two suns' sight. So, take this opportunity to revive and find a way to repay my debt. Otherwise, your life will be very miserable."
"No, don't do this. Think of what I did for Wang Ju." Although the Source Qi Space appeared less dangerous than the Eternal Ascension World, that was only at the surface level. He could be teleported to some hazardous area in that space if unlucky.
"Alright."
Chen Tong was immediately shocked. He could not believe he had accepted so easily. Then, he remembered who he was speaking with. "What do you want?"
"Completely erase these ideas and everything else you've stolen or learned from and ascend to the upper dimension; then, everything will be water under the bridge," Wang Wei announced, but Chen Tong was silent.
"Reasonable request, isn't it? But you cannot accept," Wang Wei shrugged. "So, accept your fate." He waved his hand, and the continent disappeared between Heaven and Earth. He ignored Chen Tong's burning gaze as he exhaled: "Now, I can breathe easily."
Wang Wei left to check on the affairs of the court. Once he dealt with all these trivial matters, he entered his seclusion. His first act was to condense the [Civilization Luck] from the Luck Condensing Artifacts of his sect, the Ancient Clan, the Great Talisman City, the Origin Pill Dao Sect, the Origin Weapon Mountain, the Origin Rune Palace, and the Body Dao Cave. He even added the luck of Buddhism, Taoism, and this world's version of Confucianism - the luck from the Enlightened Emperor Academy.
Wang Wei did not have the luck artifacts of all these factions, but once he asked to borrow them - who dared refuse?
After fusing all these luck artifacts, they turned into a white flame. Wang Wei's eyes shone brightly as he sensed the blessing of an entire cultivation civilization.
'Fascinating. Maybe I can make this even more interesting,' he thought. Wang Wei sent a message to all factions in the lower dimension. 'I'm borrowing this.' With a thought, he teleported all the luck artifacts that symbolized the cultivation civilization of all 3800 Heaven Will Worlds and fused them into a silver flame.
"The Myriad Emperor World is considered the center of the lower dimension," he muttered as he looked at the white flame.
"This flame is symbolic of the old era and civilization." He raised his hand to gather the luck of the Heavenly Emperor Era and condensed it into a golden flame, and Wang Wei immediately felt the luck boost of these three flames.
"And this is not even the end since there is still the mortal civilization." He condensed the luck from all the Enlightening Temples into a bronze flame. The four flames then turned into jewels of their respective color and a crown that Wang Wei placed on his head.
He grinned as he sensed the power he held.
