718 Verification & Backhand
Wang Wei teleported to the entrance of the Chrono Chaos Realm. He took out his Innate Time Treasure and used his Time Law to protect him. After all these preparations, he entered.
The environment was the same since the last time he visited, full of chaotic time energy. As he previously did, Wang Wei did not enter deep into this realm and stayed in the periphery. He sat cross-legged and set up protection around him before cultivating.
He began to purify the chaotic time energy as 360 Illusiary figures appeared behind him. All of them looked gentle, with golden Buddha Light emanating from them; they were holy and noble.
Time passed, and the three hundred and sixty oneths appeared. Wang Wei ignored the outside as he focused on refining the chaotic time energy. After an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes and exhaled deeply.
“As expected,” he muttered. He looked behind him, and there were 365 Future Buddha Self. Furthermore, no matter how much time energy he used, he could not increase more.
‘My application of the Future Buddha Self is too broken, so it’s normal for True Heavenly Dao or Grand Dao to nerf it,’ he thought since he had long expected this outcome. His other incarnations could not condense Future Buddha Selves and could only use the ones he condensed.
Furthermore, only one person at a time could use it, meaning if the Luck Incarnation was using it, the Karma Incarnation could not also utilize it. Finally, the other incarnations could not even condense the last five Future Buddha Self. Otherwise, the Space-Time Incarnation could gather more Time Energy and have already succeeded.
“I wonder why 365?” Wang Wei wondered. The number has a few significance. For example, one year is 365 days. On earth, the time planet Earth takes to travel around the sun determines the length of a year. But in the Myriad Emperor World, one year also equals 365 days.
And as for as Wang Wei knows, most other Heaven Wills are the same. So, he concluded the concept 365 days equals one year was one of the fundamental truths of the entire universe. Some strange worlds may deviate from this rule, but most follow it.
Additionally, the number 365 has some other meanings corresponding to stars and astrology, meaning a cycle of renewal, change, and transformation.
“The universe is truly a wonderful thing. Anyway, one year for everybody equals 365 years for me; that’s more than enough advantage,” Wang Wei reassured himself even though he was still unhappy because of his greed. He understood the implication of having 365 times more time than everybody.
After proving the Dao, cultivation takes Yuan Epochs to have any effects unless cultivators used other methods like faith. However, Wang Wei can cultivate for 365 Yuan Epochs in just 1 Yuan Epoch. That’s terrifying and gives him too much advantage.
‘With my plan for the era, I can cultivate until the Empyrean Realm in the shortest time possible. And with the Future Buddha Self, the same will be true for the Paragon Realm,’ thought Wang Wei with a frown.
‘The only thing I have to worry about is whether this technique will become useless after proving the Dao.’ This is very unlikely since the [Past, Present, Future Budha Scroll] is an Emperor Scripture. However, even if there are complications, Wang Wei can update it to have the same effect.
Wang Wei stood up before stretching his body, creating creaking sounds. He looked in the distance, deep into the core of this Forbidden Land.
‘The next time I come here, I’ll finally discover this place’s hidden mystery.’ Once he deals with the secret of the Chrono Chaos Realm, he will refine it into a Time Secret Realm.
Without wasting time, he exited this place. He had one last thing to do before entering seclusion and devoting himself to increasing his strength to the best of his ability.
Wang Wei opened a portal and instantly traveled to the Western Continent. He appeared on top of a mountain but did not know exactly where he was. But that did not matter. He sent a communication to the void and waited.
A few minutes later, a young man with an indifferent face and black and white hair appeared before him.
“Do you know, you’re very annoying,” said Di Tian.
“And you’re not very sociable,” replied Wang Wei with squinted eyes; he could tell the one in front of him was nothing but a clone.
“I don’t have time for your nonsense. What do you want?”
“I’m here to make a deal with you.”
“This again?” he said with great dissatisfaction on his face.
“No, not the same deal. I just need you to kill two people for me. You can negotiate the price.”
Di Tian wanted to immediately deny this request and leave. However, he suddenly had an idea, so he restrained himself.
“Is there someone you can’t kill?”
“It’s not a matter of strength. My Era Son Title restricts me.”
“Are those people the traitors from the upper dimension you were talking about?”
Wang Wei was not surprised Di Tian knew about these people. People can figure out the truth as long they have decent intelligence and the correct information.
“Yes.”
“Show me.”
Wang Wei displayed the image of two people.
“Do you have proof they are traitors?”
“No, but I do know one of them is definitely the traitor.”
Di Tian frowned: killing the Heaven Chosens of this generation has a high chance of getting him on Heavenly Dao’s wrong side. However, killing two people should not be a problem if he prepares beforehand. More importantly, the deal has to be worth it for him to take the risk.
“I agree with your deal,” said Di Tian. “In return, I want your ideas on how to revive my wife.”
Wang Wei was not surprised by this request since this was the request with the highest probability base on his analysis of Di Tian. And he would bring it out as a bargaining chip to convince him if he did not bring it up.
“Do you want to revive your wife or the perfect version?”
Boom!
The sky in the surrounding hundred domains turned bright red as Di Tian’s clone released a terrifying killing intent. Hundreds of millions of devil cultivators in the Supreme Realm and below suddenly felt a tangible pressure suppressing them on the ground. Only a few elites could remain unaffected.
“Don’t play your useless mind game. You know exactly what I mean.”
“Alright, alright, calm down,” replied Wang Wei nonchalantly before taking out a contract and putting his seal on it. Di Tian read it and added a few more clauses. Wang Wei reviews it before accepting.
“Now, can you speak?”
Although he appeared calm on the surface, Wang Wei could detect his hidden emotional fluctuations.
“There are a few ideas I can think of to revive your wife. To be exact, reviving her is not the main issue–it’s dealing with Grand Dao.”
Di Tian agreed with that statement. Without Grand Dao’s strict rules regarding Perfection Taboo, he could easily revive his wife.
“The first idea is to use a Paradox to hide from Grand Dao.”
“Are you talking nonsense?” Di Tian frowned as he felt Wang Wei was not treating this deal seriously.
“I’m not. The Spirit Genesis Sect from the Battle Spirit World achieved a similar method and successfully hid from True Heavenly Dao. You must reach a high enough cultivation realm and apply this technique to Grand Dao.”
Di Tian frowned as he pondered for a moment. He quickly realized this Wang Wei planned to use him as a spear against the Spirit Genesis Sect. Although he did not know their conflict, he did not care; he would visit them as long as it could help him. Of course, he will also investigate beforehand.
“This idea is not enough; it takes too much time.”
“You better not expect a quick and easy solution,” said Wang Wei with a frown. “You’re dealing with an entity that is near omnipotent and Omniscient.”
“You’re right, but I know you have more ideas.”
“Fine. The second idea is for Deception Dao to ‘deceive’ Grand Dao. However, like the previous method, you’ll have to be at high realm to succeed.”
Wang Wei did not wait for him to talk and continued talking.
“The third idea is to find a place where Grand Dao’s power cannot reach and revive her there.”

“The universe is vast, and anything is possible. After all, Grand Dao is only near-omniscient.”
Di Tian pondered briefly before secretly shaking his head; this method is suitable except for the limitation he probably could not leave this No Grand Dao Zone. And that’s only if he could find it.
“I’m feeling generous, so I will tell you my best idea: merit. As long as you gather enough merit, you can ask Grand Dao to allow your Perfect Wife to exist between Heaven and Earth.”
Di Tian’s eyes lit up. This was indeed the best idea, and he blamed his stupidity for not thinking about it. Although he could guess the amount of merit required would be mind-numbing, it was better than searching and hoping to find another rare treasure like the Limit Breaker.
Although he was not the kind of genius that could come up with inventions, he could cultivate such genius and found them. Better yet, he could create a large organization to serve the people and gather merit. If desperate, he can even copy the Buddhist Monks and artificially create catastrophe before coming to save people and collect merit.
‘No, isn’t there a supreme genius before me with great intelligence and cunningness? With him under control, I’ll have plenty of methods of gathering merit.’ He took a deep breath to calm down his excitement.
“Give me a month, and it will be done.” Di Tian disappeared.
Meanwhile, Wang Wei had his usual cunning smile on his face.
‘Done,’ he thought. He planned to hit many birds with one stone. One of these birds was to reduce the Karma he owed to Qiao Ning for the Perfect Foundation Method, and he succeeded.
And the second is to ensure his survival in case he loses the Heaven Will Battle. As long as Di Tian found him helpful, he would restrict himself and not kill him.
Of course, Wang Wei knows this guy is planning to capture him. His only objective is to use Di Tian’s hesitation and desire at the last moment to escape. Then, he will have the sect entirely leave and hide from the Myriad Emperor World while Di Tian is undergoing his transformation.
‘Although I have confidence in myself, absolute confidence is only for fools.’
Wang Wei sat cross-legged on the mountain, waiting for his stone to hit another bird.
