Chapter 1085 The Oath

1085 The Oath

w.a.n.g Wei sensed the stone was about to scan his body to check something and swiftly sealed it. He knew what this stone was and did; he deduced what the Human Emperor was planning. One of the things he and many people of the world have been wondering for many years was why the Human Destiny Sword appeared in this generation and why it chose Sun Jiaolong.

Everything made sense now. The sword appeared at the correct time when the Heavenly Emperor Position would appear and it chose someone to compete for the position. Then, the Human Emperor's inheritor would come to this place and get his technique and this blue stone before directing them on how to become the Earth and Human Emperor.

'The Stone should contain the essence of the Human Emperor t.i.tle and instructions on becoming the Earth Emperor. It should also be the catalyst to fuse these three different positions. In other words, Sun Jiaolong was the Human Emperor's experiment on how to fuse the three paths and achieve Half-Step Transcendence,' a.n.a.lyzed w.a.n.g Wei.

'My intuition told me something was wrong with the Myriad Emperor Dao Scripture, and the Human Emperor likely tempered with it to ensure he did not lose control of his inheritor and that the experiments proceeded without issue.'

w.a.n.g Wei frowned as many thoughts flashed in his mind, 'Everything makes sense except for how the Human Emperor knew the Heavenly Emperor Position would appear in this generation?" Sun Jiaolong did not have the Human Destiny Sword in the other timeline he saw, meaning the Human Emperor's plan had not started.

The sword's appearance in this specific period indicates a terrifying prediction/calculation-one that ignores his status as a Fateless.

'Is the Human Emperor a master of Calculation Dao, or is there something else I don't know?' thought w.a.n.g Wei. He remembered in many iterations Hongjun was a master of divination, and in some instances, he was the Demon G.o.d of Destiny before the birth of the Prehistoric World.

'Many things will make more sense if you add Hongjun in the mix,' concluded w.a.n.g Wei before leaving this secret realm. He waved his hand to create a new secret dimension with the Human Emperor's scripture and the blue gem before manipulating the cause and effect of the world. Whoever the Human Emperor chooses next as his successor will eventually find this place and these two things. Finally, w.a.n.g Wei destroyed the Qin Treasury Dimension.

He looked in the distance and muttered, "There might be another experimental p.a.w.n." w.a.n.g Wei returned to the sect to hand over the thing he acquired while asking Elder Dan and others to use the resources needed for his training. He told Cai Song about the puppets and the technique before summoning Li Jun and Yan Liling.This chapter's initial release occurred on the N0v3l-B1n site.

"I just saw you. Is everything alright?" asked Li Jun.

"I think it's about time for you two to prove the Dao," said w.a.n.g Wei.

"Isn't it a little too early?" asked Yan Liling.

"Things are going to move rapidly soon," said w.a.n.g Wei. "Now that we have a moment of tranquility, it's perfect."

"How about gathering luck from the top of the lists?"

"The Dream World is about to be connected to the Martial Hegemony World and all our allies. So, the Star Beast World, the Immortal Ascension World, the Chaos Bell World, the Demon Supremacy World, the Serenity Eclipse World (s.h.i.+ Qian's), and the Ancient Star World (Xi Shangyan's). You will have enough luck if you remain at the top of the list."

"You have a point," nodded Li Jun. "In that case, I have no issue." He had been waiting and preparing for this war for a long time.

"What about you?"

"I want to refine a Dao Pill before I prove the Dao," said Yan Liling.

"It should not be a problem once your soul reaches the level of Dao Ancestor, and you can borrow the power of the Grand Dao Source."

Yan Liling nodded.

"I'll supervise your training," added w.a.n.g Wei, and he kept his word. He ensured Li Jun's body and Yan Liling's soul reached the pinnacle of 5-Root. Afterward, he focused on training their law and Duyi Realm. These two re-started cultivating from Tier 0 and made each cultivation realm unique, all to get a minimum of 3% Grand Dao boost from Dao Will. w.a.n.g Wei found this method more effective than training the Dao Will after becoming an Emperor.

This plan was now easier to execute - even for Li Jun - because of his increase in talent and because of their access to multiple cultivation systems; they can draw inspiration from them, and w.a.n.g Wei will give ideas.

The next step was to increase Law Comprehension and train Willpower. Li Jun did not need the second training as w.a.n.g Wei knew Will Manifestation would be easy for him, and he would also achieve a 5% boost due to his Willpower. So, Yan Liling focused on training her will while listening to the preaching about Pill Dao from w.a.n.g Wei, and Li Jun needed to listen to the preaching and prepare for his Emperor Slaughter Soul. Both of them had enough resources to refine ultimate artifacts.

Lastly, w.a.n.g Wei preached about [Existence] to them until they understood a little bit - just to increase their odds of becoming Eternals.

By the end of this training session, they both achieved a golden law tree. The only disappointing part of this training lesson was Yan Liling's fleshly body, which was not as high as he wanted. However, he accepted the result because she only cultivated it to ensure a relative balance between her Essence, Spirit, and Qi.

12,000 years pa.s.sed outside, and many noteworthy things occurred. The Martial Hegemony World's side was completed: the world was repaired, and the Demon Schools, Dream World, Enlightening Temple, Mortal Civilization, and Mortal Craft Dao had spread throughout the entire world community. The benefits were divided, and w.a.n.g Wei received the largest share.

Yan Liling succeeded in refining the Dao Pill, and the world celebrated her as the greatest Alchemist of her generation and maybe throughout history. Li Jun remained at the top of the list despite fierce compet.i.tion from all seven worlds, eight if you count the Myriad Emperor World.

Meanwhile, everything entered a quiet state through other world communities in the lower dimension. Everyone knows it is the calm before the storm and has just been waiting.

"Are you ready?" asked w.a.n.g Wei, holding a small star in his palm.

"I am," nodded Li Jun.

"I'm going to ask one last time: are you sure you don't want to compete in another generation?"

"I do." Li Jun knew this was an opportunity for him instead of a burden.

"Good." w.a.n.g Wei sacrificed the essence of the Nine Devil G.o.d World in his palm to Heavenly Dao, asking to exchange it for a Heaven Will. This method worked as a Heaven Will descended before him, and he motioned to Li Jun.

Li Jun did not immediately absorb it but made an oath:

"I solemnly swear, after escaping the shackles of death, I shall take on the burden of Samsara as the Earth Emperor. And until Heaven and Earth deem that I have repaid my karma and free me, I shall not be affiliated to anyone or faction."

Heaven and Earth changed as soon as he stated these words, but no one noticed, as w.a.n.g Wei blocked all sights and visions. A chain descended from the sky and entered Li Jun's Sea of Consciousness - Heavenly Dao accepted his oath.

Then, he finally absorbed the Heaven Will. w.a.n.g Wei waited with bated breath as two golden loti appeared behind Li Jun. He knew the moment of truth was approaching, and when he saw the last lotus, he sighed in relief.

"From today on, I am the Crimson Slaughter Emperor," declared Li Jun, but his voice had not spread. His aura was intense, exuding the power of 6-fold.

'5% for Awakening, 3% for Dao Will(can improve), 5% for Will Manifestation, 5% for Artifact, 2% Force Control Skill(can improve), 5% for the Slaughter Emperor Soul, 3% for his Slaughter Spear Source Technique, and 2% for Xu s.h.i.+'s Obsession Technique,' thought w.a.n.g Wei with a smile. His plan had worked; True Heavenly Dao did not balance him because of Li Jun's oath.

'However, it's not over.'

Li Jun started to build the Samsara Court so he could take his position as the Earth Emperor. However, a black cloud swallowed him before he could react. w.a.n.g Wei's face changed, and he rushed over, but there was no one. He immediately summoned his Fate Dao to find out what was happening, and only then did he relax.

"Who are you?" asked Li Jun, looking at the enormous red face with two horns and a crown before him. He had to calm down as his intuition told him this man was scary, even scarier than his big brother.

"I am the Jade Yama King, and I will judge whether you're worthy to be the Earth Emperor," the red face declared.

'Yama King?' Li Jun had heard this t.i.tle before; they were beings in charge of preventing Paragons from doing as they pleased and messing up with Samsara.

"Lord Yama King, how do you plan to judge me?" bowed Li Jun.
