Chapter 1214 Source Qi s.p.a.ce Navigation
w.a.n.g Wei floated alone in an isolated s.p.a.ce, observing everything happening in the hall. "I've established the foundation, but there are a few problems." The first issue he had to deal with was the lack of people. The Fate Shadow Guards were still training, and he did not have access to trusted talent to oversee the hall for him. As such, he had no choice but to use his Spirit Particles to create clones to control the hall.
'An easy solution should be Creation Lifeforms,' w.a.n.g Wei thought. 'Now that I'm in the upper dimension, the tribulation should not no longer be impossible.' Creation Lifeforms was the easiest way to deal with some of his manpower shortages.
'The second problem is the Mission Hall is not properly organized because I don't have enough information to create a variety of missions.' As he gazed at the hall, he could tell most of these missions were purposefully vague. Luckily, this will change as he develops his spy network.
'The third problem is the lack of Heaven Will.' w.a.n.g Wei did not worry about the training resources for immortals since the sect provided him with ample. He also recreated many training methods or dimensions from the lower dimension like the Dream World's Battle Tower, Willpower Tempering Method, Samsara Dao Heart Refining, Spirit/Soul Training, Time Acceleration Array, Immortal Qi Gathering Array, and many more.
However, he is missing one crucial thing Heaven Will. Most mortals joined for a chance at receiving one. w.a.n.g Wei priced it at 800 million Fate Points with other requirements to buy time.
'I can solve this issue by raiding a few sects with reserve,' he thought before focusing on his most significant problem. 'I have recruited 16 Empyreans, 40 Dao Rulers, and more than 300 Immortal Sovereigns. However, none of these people could be considered my faithful subordinate. The mission Hall is the only way to control them, but that's optional. I need real subordinates. People who will follow my every word.'
w.a.n.g Wei pondered. The best approach to this problem is to slowly cultivate people with talents. This method is slow but steady since he can guarantee his men's loyalties.
'This method is fine and should be on my agenda, but I also need a quick method in case something happens and I need the manpower,' w.a.n.g Wei a.n.a.lyzed. This war would be long, but anything could happen at any time, so he needed to prepare in case an opportunity presented itself.
'I need to conquer a few people, but where can I find a large number of subordinates?' he asked himself, and he immediately had the answer: "The Lawless Zone." His eyes immediately twinkled out of greed. That place was once a place for criminals to hide from the world's powers, but after the parasites took control, many people rushed inside for refuge.
'It's decided. My next main goal is the Lawless Zone,' he decided. However, he still had a few more things to do. He looked at the s.p.a.ce around him.
'My Soul Network Ability is the perfect way to build a transportation system.' He did not expect his ability to spread to almost every corner of the Eternal Ascension World, so he never considered using it as their system's foundation instead of the subs.p.a.ce.
'However, I still need to turn the Dao Burial Ground into a Subs.p.a.ce,' he concluded. He did not want too many people to know about his ability. Thus lowering the possibility of discovering it. There is no absolute in this world, and he did not want to risk someone knowing about it and developing a way to notice it. Additionally, he still wanted to turn the Dao Burial Ground into a Supreme Chaos Treasure.
'The Subs.p.a.ce will be our primary method of communication and teleportation, and the Soul Network will be our backup plan in case something goes awry.' As the saying goes, a crafty rabbit has more than one hiding spot. w.a.n.g Wei returned homeland and immediately summoned Fate Virtue and Plum Fate.
"Master," they knelt.
"Fate Virtue, you should have trained a few batches since you've arrived, correct?"
"Yes, master."
"Where are they?"
"Most of them are operational while a few remain on standby."
"Summoned the ones on standby."
Fate Virtue whistled, and countless shadows materialized behind him. w.a.n.g Wei sent information directly into their minds before teleporting them to the Changing Fate Hall. His gaze then s.h.i.+fted to Plum Fate.
"I have a mission for you," w.a.n.g Wei said before pausing. His eyes turned all gray as he manipulated the fabric of fate itself. He condensed an information talisman that he handed over.
"This is a list of sects with secret reserves of Heaven Wills. Some have no affiliation with the parasites, so you only need to steal theirs. You can eliminate everyone else."
"It will be done."
w.a.n.g Wei dismissed everybody, leaving w.a.n.g Qi alone. "Why are you here?" w.a.n.g Wei asked. "I don't think I even called you."
"Sect master, I think I may have found a way to get you the FiendG.o.d Blood."
"Oh? I'm listening."
"The Sect Madam."
w.a.n.g Wei's lips twitched. "Don't you think I know many of our problems can be solved if I ask her? There is a reason I haven't asked her."
"Sect master, permit me to speak candidly. I notice you lose a lot of your boldness and overthinking regarding things with the Madam," w.a.n.g Qi said. "Exchanging gifts is an excellent way to communicate and get to know someone. I'm sure the Madam and you would not want to start the relations.h.i.+p by being indebted to each other.
"You previously sent her a gift, so it's normal for her to reciprocate.'
w.a.n.g Wei grunted softly, not because of anger but because this b.a.s.t.a.r.d was right,and he did not like that. "She did say she would give me a reciprocating gift."
"See? She understands," w.a.n.g Qi grinned.
"Fine. You can visit her. Used this to navigate inconspicuously." He granted w.a.n.g Qi access to the Soul Network for teleportation. He only needs to lock on to a soul closest to his destination and use it as an anchor for his teleportation. w.a.n.g Wei shook his head as he watched w.a.n.g Qi's disappearance.
'I can't believe I'm receiving dating advice from this b.a.s.t.a.r.d who's been single for billions of years,' he thought. 'However, he's right. If I want a chance at wooing her, I need to stop overthinking, be bolder, and be more direct with my approach.'
He stood up and glanced toward the Origin Seal Continent for a few minutes. Then, he entered the Source Qi s.p.a.ce again. He activated his Qi Flower Ability and an invisible lotus manifested before him.
"Ascending Treasure Qi,' he thought, making the lotus tremble before flying in the distance. w.a.n.g Wei flew after it. As a precautionary measure, most cultivators will not easily teleport in the Source Qi s.p.a.ce for various reasons, but mainly because it can easily lead to chain reactions that result in immense Qi exploding and injuring them in the process.
As w.a.n.g Wei flew to his destination, everything was all blue including the ground, the gra.s.s, the mountains, the forests, the clouds, and the sky. This was the case for most of his journey, but at some point, he reached an area that appeared to be an endless white lake.
Swis.h.!.+
A giant white hand flew from the lake, trying to catch him. The hand contained a power directly affecting the soul, rendering it dull and unresponsive. If it were any ordinary cultivators, they might have fallen into the lake even if they evaded the hand. However, w.a.n.g Wei did not do anything.
As the hand touched his body, a powerful force rebounded it, and a minor scream sounded from the lake. Countless more hands tried to drag w.a.n.g Wei, but he ignored them all except for the last. As he was about to leave this lake area, he felt a slight dread, so he skipped a few seconds into the future to arrive at his destination and evade that attack.
After the empty lake, w.a.n.g Wei found himself in a green area. He could see a towering palace radiating with the l.u.s.ter of gold, jewels, and precious ores from a distance. He immediately knew this was his destination and rushed over.
He entered the first layer of this palace and saw a group of humanoid creatures with white bodies, claws, hideous faces, and weapons protruding from their backs.
'Source Beasts? No, those are just Qi Creatures.' He waved his hand to eradicate them. Although there were a hundred thousand of them, and their cultivation was on par with Immortal Sovereign's, they were light work for him. He headed to the second layer and found no creatures just traps involving weapons.
The subsequent layers were the same, involving being attacked by weapons of various strengths. By the time he reached the final layer, w.a.n.g Wei had to fight a spear with its own Ego and the strength of Empyrean with 80% Grand Dao Source. Once he dealt with it, he took the Ascending Treasure Qi in the next layer, which resulted in this castle collapsing.
"To the next one," he muttered.
