Chapter 475: Ambitions
Wang Wei wanted Ji Su to be his trial since things would be simpler. Unfortunately, his Nexus of Fate is still the same. Nevertheless, he did learn a few things about this experience.
For example, he guessed that the Saber Wielder might not be someone he knew very well but most likely affected by his actions. So, he prepared to find them using that conjecture.
Secondly, he learned that the [Curse of Hatred] and the [Bloodline Curse] were from the same source. The creator’s purpose seemed to be to give people–no matter the cultivation level–a chance at killing their enemy if they were willing to pay a specific price.
And after this experience, he decided to study curses in-depth to have ways to block them. Furthermore, he will also spend a lot of time cultivating or improving his [Bone Clone] ability. This Divine Ability can save his life in the most dangerous situations.
“Where is Sun Jiaolong?” gestured Wang Wei.
“I’m sorry, but he ran away while I was protecting you,” replied Li Jun. “He had a very powerful Void Breaking Talisman.”
Wang Wei nodded his head before looking in the distance. He headed for his new hide-out while sending a clone back to the sect to see his father; he wanted to know about the situation of Great Zhou.
Wang Wei found his father waiting for him in Tianwei Peak.
“You should return home. Your mother is worried sick about you.”
“If all three of you can swear the most restricted oath not to use that formation, I will be more than happy to return home.”
Wang Tian became quiet for a moment before saying: “At least, let your clone go see her.”
“Fine.”
Wang Wei knew that time was ticking for him, so there was no point in remaining mad at his family for now. For all he knows, the time he has to see them is limited.ᴘᴀ ɴ ᴅᴀ n ᴏ ᴠᴇʟ
Although he will try to enter Samsara if he fails this trial, there is no guarantee of success. And if he succeeded, he would not see them for countless millennia, if not millions of years.
“What happened in Great Zhou?”
Although he felt the presence of the Immortal Grade Cultivators in the distance, he could not hear their conversation. And he had to focus on blocking the curse.
Wang Tian explained everything that happened regarding the rebellion of these people to attend freedom.
“They probably want to go to the world that all Great Emperors ascend to; this should be the perfect place to help cultivators of their level reach higher heights,” commented Wang Tian, and Wang Wei agreed with him.
“Doesn’t our sect have to worry about similar things?”
“Not really. One of the advantages of powerful Emperor Lineages is that our Emperors can create and leave behind resources and Secret Realms that help Immortal Tier Cultivators.
“So, although their cultivation speed will not be as good as that place, they can still progress.”
Wang Wei nodded as he finally understood why the sect strictly controls resources at the level of Innate and above. These resources are reserved for the Dao Ancestors and Immortal Venerables to ensure that they do not have any rebellious thoughts like the people from Great Zhou.
“In any case, you should be on the lookout if something happens,” warned Wang Wei. Then, the two went back home together. Yu Yan was happy to see her son again–even if it was a clone. She knew if he decided to be stubborn and remained angry, she would not see him for at least a few hundred years, if not more.
After meeting his mother, the clone went to see Li Jun and Su Ai; she still looked normal as the pregnancy was in the early stage. With her bloodline and the sect’s resources, this baby will not see the world in another few hundred years.
Immediately afterward, Wang Wei’s clone and Li Jun went to the Battle Tower to fight. Wang Wei wanted to test Li Jun’s Battle Awareness and Skills, so he gave the clone the same physical strength, Origin Essence, and Spiritual Strenght as him. pᴀɴda nᴏvel
The result was that he was mistreated; Li Jun quickly destroyed him. And that was even though his Fate Dao still gave him an advantage since it was a Dao more powerful than Slaughter Dao.
The way Li Jun could see flaws in his opponent, predict attacks solely based on instinct, and use all his techniques, spells, or Divine Abilities to their full potential and beyond, Wang Wei was no match.
Wang Wei thought he made up the gap in Combat Awareness with Di Tian during their battle with the help of the Pagoda. However, he realized how wrong he was after fighting Li Jun.
He reviewed that battle again and learned many things: Di Tian held back quite a lot. Based on his movements and actions, Wang Wei knew that he was constantly on the lookout for something during their battle.
He most likely feared that Wu Hong would suddenly show up and destroy him. And because of this constant vigilance, Di Tian could not use all his powers and skills during the battle.
After making this discovery, Wang Wei’s eyes began to shine. Since he found his weakness, he will change and improve it.
He went to see Wang Ju as he had a task for her. He gave her a list of the people he thought he had wronged during his cultivation journey and asked her to check and assassinate them. And if there is a Saber Wielder with notable strength, she should inform him immediately.
Through the power of Karma, Wang Wei could deduce this kind of information. So, he began from the Spirit Road Trial to the present. Although he knew he could not find everybody, he was satisfied with 95% of them.
Hopefully, he can find the person from his trial. If not, his actions can be considered a way to deal with possible future troubles.
After that, he headed to the Time Acceleration Formation with Li Jun; he wanted to absorb the latter’s skills and Battle Awareness through constant battles.
And in just five years, he learned everything Li Jun did during his Hidden Trial, which made the latter speechless.
“You’re truly a monster,” said Li Jun; his physique granted him a terrifying talent for battle, but he still took thousands of years to reach such a level. Yet, someone else took just five years to catch up and surpassed him.
Wang Wei did not say anything; he did not even use his [Future Buddha Self], relying only on his comprehension to achieve this feat.
“I need you to do something for me,” wrote Wang Wei in the air before explaining what it was to Li Jun.
“You want me to create a technique to increase Battle Awareness and Skills?” muttered Li Jun. Wang Wei’s idea is very simple: divide the might into two. One part controls the normal function of daily life.
While the other part is constantly in a Dream World, and in that world, they can simulate their opponents and fight with them: they can simulate their previous opponents and the fights they have watched–even from recordings, or simulate themselves.
After all, there is no better opponent than yourself.
After a couple of thousand years, their combat awareness would increase to an unimaginable level with the constant, never-ending battles.
“I should be able to recreate the simulation aspect after studying the Battle Tower, but I don’t know anything about Dream Dao.”
“The sect has a few books from the Eternal Dream Sect. Furthermore, there is no need to start from scratch. One of the top 30 Heaven Chosens, the one called Lazy Suave has a cultivation technique that allows him to cultivate in his sleep.
“Get it from him and modify it.”
“That should work,” replied Li Jun with excitement. This Dream Technique is perfectly suited for his physique. And once he creates it, he can simulate his trial and decrease the time it takes him to pass.
‘What a perfect training method.’ He could imagine how both his and Wang Wei’s strength would increase once he created this technique. So, without wasting time, he left to track the Lazy Suave.
…
In a slightly dark and poorly lighted place, Sun Jiaolong opened his eyes. He grunted in pain before looking around. Even though he had Night Vision with his cultivation level, everything was hard to see.
The only light in the room seemed to come from a glowing golden spark from the distance. Sun Jiaolong swallowed a bunch of pills after ensuring he was in no danger.
A few hours later, he could now move properly. So, he headed in the direction of the light source. Because of his injury, this short walk took more than 30 minutes.
Then, he saw an altar with a blue sword with an azure dragon design on both the hilt and the edge. Suddenly, Sun Jiaolong began to laugh aloud, forcing him to stop when he started coughing and leaking blood.
ραꪒⅆα ꪒꪫꪥꫀꪶ “My plan seems to have worked,” he muttered. “The Demon Destiny Sword.”
He has been searching nonstop for this sword for thousands of years but to no avail. So, he decided to gather Luck to use a spell to find it. Sun Jiaolong was prepared to gather luck for a very long time.
However, when Ji Su sacrificed Great Zhou’s Qi Luck, he took this opportunity to steal a lot of it. And when he used the Void Breaking Talisman, he used his luck to guarantee his escape and find this sword.
Excitedly, he ignored his injury and the pain before rushing to take the sword. Unfortunately, a shield appeared to push him away.
“How I forget: only the demon race can fully use the power of that sword.”
Sun Jiaolong sat on the ground to meditate and accelerate his recovery. A few days later, he returned to his peak state. Then, he took out a bright-red pill with veins engraved on its surface.
‘I spent a lot of money and time to get this Quasi-Emperor Tier Bloodline Modification Pill. Hopefully, my plan can work.’
After swallowing it, he fell to the ground as he began to twitch. Blood started to ooze from every corner of his body. At some point, hair grew unconditionally from Sun Jiaolong’s body before falling off.
During the excruciating process, he did not scream a single time. To be precise, he could not scream even if he wanted to since most of his bodily parts did not function properly.
A few days later, the process ended, and Sun Jiaolong got up from the floor. He clenched his hands as he felt the strength flowing through his veins. An illusory monkey appeared behind him before he punched in their air.
Boom!
The entire Secret Realm shook for a moment before stabilizing itself.
“The Battle God Ape Bloodline is truly remarkable,’ he muttered. He once acquired this bloodline from a demon race’s Secret Realm. A Battle Saint Ape Tribe member wanted to purify his bloodline to a height never seen before to one day lead his race from human oppression.
And he succeeded somehow. Unfortunately, he died in the process, leaving it for future generations of the Demon Race.
After checking his power, Sun Jiaolong walked to the blue sword and quickly picked it up. A feeling of nostalgia rushed through him as he felt the power of Luck.
“I am the man destined to unite the Myriad Emperor World and recreate the glory of the Great Qin Dynasty,” he declared.
“And this is just the beginning.”
The next step in Sun Jiaolong’s plan is to search for the Destiny Sword of the Sea Race. From the records he searched, there has never been any news about the existence of such an item.
However, he was confident the Sea Race had a Luck Condensing Artifact, but they hid it even better than the Demon Race and the Human Race.
‘The ocean is as vast as the Central and Eastern Continent, so the population of the Sea Race should be the second largest in the world. With their [Sword of Destiny] in my hands, I should be able to compensate for the previous loss.’
Sun Jiaolong looked in the distance with killing intent.
‘Wang Wei, you just wait. One day, I will pry that sword from your corpse.’
Sun Jiaolong then left for the Sea. For a moment, he hesitated whether to search for the Destiny Sword of the Spirit Race. However, considering their low number, he concluded it was not worth it.
