Chapter 428: The Future
Wang Wei did not focus on these issues for now, and he was not that worried that he would not be able to figure these things out. Not only because of his heaven-defying talent but because of the Innate material the Karmic Washing Water that he absorbed in his organs.
He realized that sensing the Innate Laws inside is of great use for him to understand the Dao of Karma. It is one of the reasons that he made such rapid progress in just a few months to be able to get rid of the Karmic Sins inside his body.
As for the Dao of Time, he can use his battle with Di Tian to comprehend something and even the Time Formation of the sect.
After thinking of this, Wang Wei once again checked his body to ensure that nothing was wrong. However, he frowned as his intuition told him that things were not that simple.
Di Tian should have been able to calculate that he would be able to remove that Karmic Sins. or at the very least, his sect should have some means to deal with it.
As intelligent as the latter was, there is no way he would oversee something like this.
‘That means that these Karmic Sins served a different purpose, so the question is what it?’
Thinking about this, Wang Wei immediately tried to deduce the cause and effect behind Di Tian’s actions, but he ended up empty. Then, he used the power of Fate to deduce something, and the result was still the same.
With a deep frown on his face, he muttered; “The feeling of being plotted against is truly disgusting. Anyway, he is sealed now, so let’s wait to see. As long as I get the smallest of information, I can take a more proactive move.”
Wang Wei was never someone to be on the passive side. So, as long as the opportunity presented itself, he would go on the offensive.
After opening his eyes, Wang Wei saw three old men waiting not far from him; they seemed to be acting as his protector and prevented the other villagers from disturbing his epiphany.
Immediately after seeing that he was awakening, they clenched their hands together and bowed to them:
“We have seen the benefactor.”
“Get up,” replied Wang Wei as he knew the identity of the three. They are the Ancestor-like character of three people from the village that became cultivators and formed families.
As the only Divine Altar Realm cultivators in their family, they are the foundation that keeps their family floating. Additionally, these three never changed or became arrogant because they started their path of cultivation.
They always keep in contact with the village, protect it from lower-level loose cultivators that want to plot against it, and always attend the annual ceremony to worship the benefactor.
Now, these people might just be doing it because of the benefit, but that did not matter. After all, they were not the only cultivators from the village, and yet, they are the only ones who still remembered their origin. Maybe it is because of this practice that their family is among the most successful of all the cultivators in this village.
“Since you are here, it means that you have fate with me. In that case, I will give you some good fortune. Give me a copy of the cultivation method your family is using.”
The three immediately became excited as they did not hesitate to hand over their cultivation method. With a glance, Wang Wei could tell that it was a very terrible method.
The foundation of anyone cultivating this thing is not only weak, but they can only cultivate into the Divine Altar Realm. While secretly shaking his head, he modified them.
He did not give these guys any method that would allow them to set up a Saint Foundation or more. This kind of cultivation method is very valuable and if words were to spread out, these two clans would be annihilated.
Although the village is protected, this was not the same for them.
So, Wang Wei only removed most of the errors and imperfections of the methods, then deduced the way for them to reach the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Then, he waved his hand to manifest three more books that contained basic knowledge on pill refining, weapon making, and array; he handed one to each of the old men.
“Since I’m feeling generous, I will help you even more.” Then, the three of them felt a powerful energy injected into their bodies. The energy then removed the impurities inside their bodies, thus increasing their natural talent to absorb and control spiritual qi.
Then, that energy seemed to enter a place located on their forehead; these old men immediately guessed that it went to their souls. They did not mind as they knew the person in front of them did not need any plots or schemes to get rid of them.
A few seconds later, they felt that their mind was working smoother; many things that they previously did not understand became clearer. Additionally, their memories were also improved drastically.
These three knew that the benefactor had increased their comprehension talent. Although they did not know how he did it, all that mattered to them was that they benefitted.
Although they looked old, the three of them were only a little over 250 years old. As Divine Altar Realm cultivators, they should have at least a 1000 years of lifespan. Unfortunately, they suffered major injuries in the rise of their family while fighting for others, affecting both their already weak foundation and lifespan.
But now, they had a chance at reaching higher realms and do not have to wait for the next generation of their family to grow up. With excitement, the three left. And Wang Wei even offered to protect their clan from a catastrophe one time.
All they have to do is say his name when needed, and he can use the power of Karma to sense and protect them no matter the distance.
Once he was done, Wang Wei prepared to leave. He modified the Feng Shui Luck Formation that was under the village to reach the Supreme Tier. He then said a few parting words to the village and took a final look at the tree before leaving.
He was looking forward to what both this village and the tree will become. Would they survive the ravage of time, or would they one day suffer misfortune and be annihilated from the annals of history?
Honestly, Wang Wei would be fine with any outcome. In this cruel world, even he could not fathom his future or control his fate, let alone this small village. Just because it was protected did not mean that they could survive.
After leaving the small village, he began to wander around the surroundings. Soon, a frown appeared on his face. He opened a Space Tear to teleport to different Domains of the Central Continent.
‘Although I expected this, and Wang Ju’s information also mentioned this, I did not think it was that bad.’
What he was checking was the state of the modern invention he made along with the schools for mortals that he created. In the past few thousand years, things have basically gone awry.
Because these things could no longer bring the sect any merit, many of the sects have abandoned them. No more Trains, airplanes, or even car constructs were created. And the remaining ones have left along and in some territories, they were even removed.
As for the schools, a lot of them were also closed, while in many places, there were no teachers to teach or the sects did not care enough to find ways for ordinary people to attend.
‘No wonder civilization has existed for trillions of years in this world and the culture is still similar to ancient times. Cultivators are now used to treating mortals as lesser beings than themselves. Once it benefits them, they will be nice and proactive. However, once there is no longer anything to gain…’
Wang Wei shook his head. Although he expected this, he was quite disappointed. He thought that this situation would happen only in the Domains controlled by more conservative sects, however, now, it appeared that the majority of sects are now like this.
He even guessed that if it was not for him, the Dao Opening Sect would also act this way.
‘Well, it does not matter: the foundation has been laid for the future.’
The reason he wanted to modernize this world and make it better was not just because of the good nature of his heart, nor also because he wanted this world to slightly resembled his past life.
The main reason was for his future cultivation. As a transmigrator and with all the information he has gathered over the years, he could guess that all the Great Emperors disappeared to go to a more powerful world to cultivate.
And in these worlds, Great Emperors are probably as many dogs. And if he went there, his safety might not be guaranteed. After all, if some random Empyrean or Paragons suddenly decided he was not pleasant to look at, how could he save his life?
So, Wang Wei’s plan has always been to cultivate a higher realm before going there. If it was up to him, he would not leave until he became a Paragon–although, he guessed that this might not be possible.
Although this idea is a great one, there is still a major problem: cultivation resources and opportunities. After all, there is a reason that all the Great Emperors did not stay here. Most likely, the environment was detrimental to their cultivation, plus the lack of resources.
And Wang Wei’s solution to this problem was merit, incense, and luck. He will gather an enormous amount of these things to bless his cultivation. In his plan, he will not leave the Lower Dimension until he has the strength of an Empyrean.
And to do this, he would have to fundamentally change the world and the life of mortal to acquire more merit, luck, and incense. And with the schools and modern constructs, he had laid a foundation for when he changes the world in the future.
“Huh?” suddenly muttered Wang Wei as he felt something while he was distracted.
