785 Huo Fenghuang's Next Move
Dao Opening Sect, Supreme Elder’s meeting:
“What do you guys think?” asked Origin One.
“Since the sect master asked us to help, then we’ll follow his order,” replied Sword One without hesitation.
“Are you guys not tempted? I can make a bunch of Immortal Pills with his body,” said Miscellaneous One. With these pills, the sect’s strength can increase by a large margin.
“You need to look at the bigger picture,” said Origin One, who agreed with Sword One’s decision. “The demon race is our ally, and their survival is a necessity for the coming of this new age.”
“Plus, after the environment returns to innate, there will be plenty of Innate Demons and Primordial Gods for you to refine,” added Turtle One.
“What I’m worried about is the response of the other factions?” asked The Steward. “Will they fight us even after showing a desire to protect the demon race?”
“That’s for sure,” replied Sword One. “Most factions have been unhappy with our alliance with the demon race. They have been restrained for a long time. But now, it is a perfect opportunity.”
“They also have been worried about our increased military, economic, and political strength in this generation,” sneered Battle One. “Now, they have the perfect excuse to band together and deal us a blow.”
“Are they not afraid of our sect master proving the Dao and dealing with them?”
“That’s one of the reasons they will attack,” said Origin One. “The new ruler of the Myriad Emperor World will appear soon.”
As soon as a Great Emperor appeared, they became the automatic ruler of the Myriad Emperor World during their stay in the lower dimension. No matter how weak an Emperor is, other factions will treat them with certain respect because of how hard it is to kill them.
After all, no factions want an Emperor using their [Immortality] and guerrilla tactics on their factions–that would be a nightmare.
“The time before the battle ends is the only time of freedom many of these factions will have for a while. So, some daring ones will want to take risks.”
“But the risks are not worth it–especially in this generation.”
“The key to this issue is this world has awe for Eternal Emperors, but they don’t have any fears,” said Sword One. “They all think they can deal with any Eternal Emperor the same way they dealt with the Heaven Devour Emperor.”
A sneer appeared on her face underneath the mask. “However, they fail to understand that not every Eternal is the same.”
“The main issue I worry about is whether these hiding Immortal Sovereigns will show up,” said Origin One. “Heavenly Dao is currently occupied with the battle, so it’s a great time for them to get rid of their seals and cause trouble.”
“There is no need to worry too much,” replied Sword One. “According to the sect master’s instructions, we only need to buy time for the demon race. And if the situation turns into the worst-case scenario, I will control the Human Preservation Array to protect the sect.”
“Alright then, let’s take action.”
Sword One nodded before her gaze penetrated countless distances to see the Northern Continent. She waved her hand to manifest an enormous sword that hung on top of the continent.
“Sword One, are you sure you want to get into this troubled water?” said an old voice. “Is it worth it for the mere demon race?”
“I don’t want to waste my breath with you. All of you rats who are hiding and want to interfere–come together. I know this is the excuse you wanted, so let’s not waste time,” replied Sword One.
Then, she teleported to the Northern Continent, followed by many of the Supreme Elders.
Another terrifying battle was about to take place in the Myriad Emperor World, on the cusp of the Heaven Will Battle.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Wang Wei opened his eyes without any knowledge of what was going on outside.
“I have been so focused on my theory that I did not study this technique in-depth,” he muttered before taking out Ao Shen’s Heaven Path Tribulation Summoning Technique.
For a moment, he wondered why his ancestor did not leave this method to the sect. If the Dao Opening Sect had a faction focusing on Innate Bloodline, they could create countless Primarchs throughout the years.
However, after thinking about it for a moment, he realized the reason. It is not good for the Dao Opening Sect to be overwhelmingly more powerful than the other factions because of Heavenly Dao’s balance system–especially in the Ancient Emperor Era.
In that period, the world’s civilization was starting anew. If there were a faction that could forcibly rule the world, their fate would be miserable. Heavenly Dao would definitely scheme the destruction or weakening of such a faction.
So, in some ways, Qiyuan’s action against the Ancient Clan saved them. Otherwise, Heavenly Dao would not tolerate their existence.
‘Another reason he did not leave this method was probably because of luck,’ analyzed Wang Wei. If there were an Innate Bloodline Faction in the sect, they would have to cultivate the Ancient System to better use their bloodline.
The Ancient System had a realm where cultivators acquired or awakened their bloodline. However, not everyone in that realm with Innate Bloodline can develop Innate Law. No, only the ones with the purest bloodline and the best cultivation talent can acquire it.
Regardless, that realm is the best way to acquire and develop Innate Bloodline.
If such a faction existed in the sect, it would only be a matter of time before it became dominant over the others with so many Primarchs. Then, if that faction decided to spread the Ancient Cultivation System, it would contradict with Qiyuan’s Origin System, thus affecting the luck he amassed from the entire Myriad Emperor World.
The Origin System is the foundation for the survival of the Dao Opening Sect, so nothing can happen to it. Additionally, Wang Wei guessed that luck helped his ancestors immensely in cultivating to the Empyrean Realm.
‘From this decision, I can see the ancestor’s disdain or disregard for Bloodline; he did not want the Wang Clan, or the other factions, to rely on Bloodline.’
Wang Wei felt similarly, so he has to be careful when he creates his Human Fiendgod Bloodline.
‘Furthermore, I may need to change the rules of Heaven and Earth and make sure people can only become Primarchs at a specific time, probably, when the Heaven Will was closed to appear.’
Wang Wei knew even if the sect acquired this technique, the Ancient Clan and Demon Race would have an advantage. So, he cannot allow Primarchs to appear at anytime during a generation.
He could foresee how many geniuses and Elders with Innate Laws were sealed in the Ancient Clans. With this technique, even if only 10% can survive the tribulation and become Primarchs, it will still drastically increase the strength of the Ancient Clan.
‘Maybe I should really kill Huo Fenghuang or take the technique from her,” analyzed Wang Wei. ‘No, there is no need. In my era, Immortal Tier cultivators will be common. And the more that appears, the more prosperous the Myriad Emperor World will be and the greater the benefit I will receive.’
Wang Wei calmed down and finished his review of the technique. Then, another thought flashed in his mind.

He pondered for a while before making a decision.
‘It might be helpful, but only after I become a peak Paragon. I can learn from them and prepare for my Transcendent Path.’
He did not know whether these things would help. However, he was willing to try. Anyway, by then, he would reach the peak of his power and has little to no room for improvement. Then, he can study these two laws to see if they can help.
Southern Quadrant:
Huo Fenghuang floated in the void, unable to process the information Ao Shen gave her.
‘Will my Emperor Path end here?’ she was unwilling. So, her mind came up with countless reasons that Ao Shen was lying to her. However, deep down, she knew it was true.
‘The revival of the Ancient Clan is relying on me. How can I lose?’
Ever since she was young, her clan told her she had a sacred mission–revert the environment to innate and lead the clan to their glory days. She worked day and night cultivating, tempering her body, and suppressing her peers.
She dedicated all her life to that single goal. But now, she knew her mission was impossible to achieve. So, despair overwhelmed her mind.
‘No, this is not over yet,’ thought Huo Fenghuang with a ferocious look. ‘I can become a 6-Star Primarch. As long as I deal with whoever proves the Dao in this generation, there is still hope.’
She knew things would not be so simple. Although 6-Star Primarchs are at the same level as Eternal Emperors, there is still much difference between them. After all, the Emperor Path is supreme.
Regardless, the tribulation gave her hope.
‘Plus, I cannot give up until the last moment.’
Huo Fenghuang sat in the void and summoned a black and white mirror.
‘Before the battle, my luck warned me to take this Emperor Artifact. Now, I know the reason.’
Most people will only take offensive or defensive artifacts for this battle. However, Huo Fenghuang took the risk and brought an auxiliary artifact.
She waved her hand to create a green flame called [The Flame of Victory]. She condensed this flame by using her Yin-Yang Dao to control the concept of victory and defeat.
She infused the Victory Flame into the Yin-Yang Mirror, deducing a way for her to achieve victory in this battle.
