Chapter 1024 Checking-In
1024 Checking-In
A thousand winters and summers flashed by, and the Myriad Emperor World entered a rapid but quiet development period. Meanwhile, w.a.n.g Wei finally opened his eyes from his cultivation room.
He exhaled before clenching his hands, feeling the power coursing through his veins.
"Your injuries are almost healed," commented the clone. "You probably don't need me anymore."
"Not necessarily," replied w.a.n.g Wei as he had almost returned to his peak. His current strength was the same as the clone: normally, he could display 50% Grand Dao Source, and in an emergency, he could use his full power.
w.a.n.g Wei tried one last time to activate all his stacked boosts. However, like before, he felt his body crumbling once his power exceeded 50%.
"This last bit of injury is like a bone stuck in my throat, refusing to budge," he groaned. In the past 1000 years, which was astronomically longer for him due to time formation, he did not only focus on healing. He learned more about Madman Chu's inheritance, increased his Profession Daos, and raised his body refining realm to 90 Infant FiendG.o.ds Realm.
His body was currently even more resistant to all kinds of attacks, including conceptual ones, and he could fight an Emperor with 30% Grand Dao Source relying solely on his body.
w.a.n.g Wei was very happy with his progress despite using all the Great Emperors with body refining cultivation from the Dao Burial Ground. Primordial Desolate was still not refined, meaning he still had room to improve after using the latter and might even enter the next stage of the True Power Dao Realm-Dragon-Phoenix Realm.
"[Existence Injuries] are like incurable and chronic illnesses for Immortal Cultivators. So, it's understandable you couldn't heal so quickly," stated the clone, and w.a.n.g Wei agreed with this comparison despite being a simple way to explain a complex situation.
"We have work to do, so let's get started," he stated before waving his hand to place the clone away; it was still useful and would not be terminated. For example, the latter could be sacrificed in a dangerous situation to boost his strength. If that is never required, w.a.n.g Wei will use him as a basis to create a clone for the sect. Something tells him it won't be easy to leave a clone for the sect since no other Eternals have done it, but he will try.
He took a moment to scan the world and register the changes. One minor and one major event that needed his attention occurred in this short period. The minor event is that mortals have developed the concept of [Arts and Crafts Families].
For example, there is the Fu Clan, known for cultivating powerful scholars in the last 1000 years. There is the Ou Clan, known for its blacksmith and Spiritual Runes. These mortals banded together to create powerful families that could access the Enlightening Temple, thus ensuring their power and rights. As a result, they are very selective in who they marry.
Additionally, w.a.n.g Wei noticed they had developed the trend of not caring about cultivation. If someone in their family is born with a [Leakless Body], they will nurture this person, but he will not become the central focus of the clan; they view such an individual as more of a guardian for their family, using their long life span to the benefit of the clan.
w.a.n.g Wei calmly observed this change but did not comment or intervene. Like all things, there are both positives and negatives to this change. So far, mainly the positive has appeared, so he will let it develop.
As for the major event - the Sea Race has cultivated an Immortal Sovereign. This event was shocking because the world finally saw the potential and threat of the Sea Race. Once they banded together and used all the resources of their race, it was very easy for them to train an Immortal Sovereign and with such speed.
They finally understood why the Heavenly Emperor was adamant about keeping a watch on the Sea Race and the unimaginable resources that the ocean contained. So, these people rushed to the sea with greater fervor. Although the surface world was also booming with resources after the environmental changes, no one would say no to more.
w.a.n.g Wei watched all of this with calm eyes. He knew more than these people, like the Sea Race, could have cultivated a second Immortal Sovereign, which was their original intention. However, after seeing the world's reaction to the first, they stopped this idea and hid their presence like always.
w.a.n.g Wei then checked on Wu Ming. In the Southern Section of the court, he saw a legion of men and women with bodies full of tattoos or symbols. As they trained, the tattoos would glow, allowing some of them to release power behind their cultivation realm.
"Finally succeeded, huh?"
After consulting Tong Ruobing's clone, aid from the Dao Opening Sect, and even Yan Liling's input, Wu Ming finally created the Totem Warrior Path. These people were linked to a powerful Emperor Formation in the court and could borrow its power.
w.a.n.g Wei nodded in approval at the final result. According to their agreement, this new profession would not be released to the public yet. He will give the Wu Clan time to use this method to increase their strength and foundation.
He sent Wu Ming a message through Divine Sense to praise him for his hard work before checking on his sect and family. His family's situation has not changed much. His grandfather was still training like a madman, preparing for his battle against Emperor Nine Suns.
During the past year, the clone finally refined a unique Dao Source Seed for his father. The seed created an Inner World that accelerated the growth of his Human FiendG.o.d Bloodline. His grandfather aims to reach more than 70 Infant FiendG.o.d Force and use his flesh to fight with Emperor Nine Suns.
His father was still enjoying himself in the Swordsmans.h.i.+p World, only sending a projection once in a while to see his mother. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d even forgot to check on him. His mother was cultivating hard, preparing for the expansion of the court and her eventual ascension to immortality.
Yan Liling was still helping the sect to create a more universal Immortal Rune applicable to all professions. However, Li Jun had exited his retreat and was spending time with his pregnant concubine and unborn child. The smile on his face showed he was both excited and worried about the upcoming challenge of fatherhood.
w.a.n.g Wei felt a little bad because Yan Liling and Li Jun cannot yet prove the Dao since they need to first gather Qi Luck and Destiny from the Dream World List Compet.i.tion, which is still far away. However, he has already prepared as he sealed and took away the Nine Demon G.o.d World, ready to refine and sacrifice them to Heavenly Dao for more Heaven Will.
w.a.n.g Wei's gaze s.h.i.+fted to Tie Gang. The latter was also a Dao Ancestor and Insurgent of First Cla.s.s as the clone refined a unique Grand Dao Source Seed for him. His Inner World contained a specially crafted River of Fate, and he could use its strings in accordance with his Vibration Grand Dao Source. Using w.a.n.g Wei's Quantum String Theory, he was a force to reckon with.
Unfortunately for him, the rules of Heaven and Earth make it difficult to rely only on the Inner World to become an Eternal Tier Insurgent. Plus, the sect does not need a new Eternal Powerhouse, thus limiting his potential.
One good news from Tie Gang is his Undead Legion has become even more fierce and powerful.
w.a.n.g Wei then checked on Dong Lifen and his master. She spent most of her time training in the Dream World and preparing for her eventual invasion of a weak Heaven Will World. As for her master, she was still in the Quasi-Emperor World. w.a.n.g Wei did not plan to turn her into a Dao Ancestor until the last moment before he left.
He has a feeling his clone project might not work. As such, she will be his masterpiece-she will be the true guardian of the Dao Opening Sect, the one who will ensure they last an eternity in the lower dimension.
The last person on his list was Miscellaneous One, who was almost buried with work. Luckily for him, the latter had Elder Dan to help him with the pills w.a.n.g Wei wanted. Sadly, his other projects did not have much progress.
The Immortal Qi Gathering Array has not made much progress, but mainly because Miscellaneous One was a little obsessed with the sect's Array. The project to perfectly fuse w.a.n.g Wei's Fate-based Array and the Deception Array into the other nine was more complex than initially thought.
w.a.n.g Wei looked at this but did not say anything. This challenge was helping Miscellaneous One increase his cultivation, so he did not stop the latter despite knowing the sect's formation was a long project that did not need to hurry.
He teleported to above the sky, and his voice spread throughout the world:
"All aspects of the world have considerably changed since the beginning of the era, except for one major part-our cultivation system. We need a new and improved system that reflects the current time, and today, I will preach to the world to provide that last boost of change."
