Chapter 505: Resources
“Hmm, as long as you become an Eternal Emperor, you should be able to defeat that Emperor Five Heart,” replied Wu Hong.
“How come?”
“The strength of Eternal Emperor is different. Based on my calculation, after you temper your body to the peak, the baptizement from the Grand Dao Source will further strengthen your fleshly body, giving you an additional 5% strength.
“And if your Nine Incarnation Plan succeeds, the boost will be another 5%, so after you become an Eternal Emperor, you should be able to fight Emperors with 30% comprehension.”
“Is that how it works?”
“And that’s not the end,” continued Wu Hong. “Your Paragon Quality Soul will give you another 10% boost, you Willpower–if you can control it–another 10%, and your control of the Grand Dao Source and your Dao Will should give you another 2-3%. So, by calculation, after proving the Dao, you will be on par with 53% Ascended Emperor.
“Danm, you’re going to be OP,” said Wu Hong with some frustration in her voice.
“Hehe,” said Wang Wei with a smirk.
“And that’s not even the last of it. If you can create the [Heavenly Dao] level of your Force Control Skil, it should give you another 5%. Furthermore, if you can find some better materials for your Proving Dao Artifact, it should grant you a few more percentages.
“I can’t believe you will almost be on par with an Empyrean right after becoming an Eternal Emperor.”
“The color of envy suits you very well,” said Wang Wei.
“Do you want me to suppress and seal you for a few years?”
“Don’t get mad at me for the ugliness in your heart.”
Wu Hong rolled her eyes and decided to ignore him.
“So, what percentage to become an Empyrean?”
“70% for Empyrean, and 90% for Paragon.”
“That’s it? I just need to comprehend the Grand Dao Source?”
“Of course not. There are a few other steps to become an Empyrean–especially if you want to become an Everlasting one.”
“I see,” replied Wang Wei without asking anything else regarding this topic. These things were a little too far for him for now. So, he asked something else: “What was your battle strength after becoming an Eternal Emperor?”
“After I seal and absorb the Devil Prince to sublimate my foundation, it gave me an additional 5%. My soul was also exceptional, and after absorbing his spiritual strength, it reached a higher level in quality, which granted me another 5%.
“Then, there was my Proving Dao Artifact. I used at least 10 Chaos Treasures as the base, so it granted another 5% increase. And after I sealed and absorbed the Devil Gods, my foundation again sublimated, which gave me another 5%.
“A total of 40%.”
“10 Chaos Treasures? How rich were you?”
“I was the Son of the Era, so of course, I was rich. Plus, these treasures were technically Heavenly Dao’s reward for all the things it made me go through.”
“True,” nodded Wang Wei. “I thought Chaos Treasures were on par with Eternal Emperor’s Artifacts? With ten of them, shouldn’t your increase be way more exaggerated?”
Wu Hong shook his head: “The people in the lower dimension tend to overestimate the power of Innate and Chaos Treasures. The classification for these treasures referred to their effectiveness to Great Emperors or Immortal Tier powerhouses, not the actual strength.
“The advantage of these types of treasures is that there is no backlash to using them–even to a mortal. And since even cultivators in the Quasi-Emperor Realm cannot bring the full power of Emperor Artifacts, it is normal for Innate or Chaos Treasures to be on par with them in a clash.”
“Things do not seem that simple,” added Wang Wei.
“You’re right. The actual value of Innate and Chaos treasures is that they can be turned into Innate Supreme Treasures or Chaos Supreme Treasures in the upper dimension: these are the real treasures born from Heaven and Earth that can compete with Empyrean or Paragons Artifacts.
“Some are extremely powerful or have bizarre and terrifying abilities.”
Wang Wei’s eyes lit up thinking about when he returned the world’s Innate Qi. Then he could take a bunch of Innate and possibly Chaos Treasures and turn them into Supreme Treasures after ascending.
“I know what you’re thinking, but turning these things into Supreme Treasures is difficult. It usually takes a lot of time and the right opportunity.”
Wang Wei predicted this much, but this did not change his decision. Plus, he even had some ideas on how to accelerate the process. Although he did not know if it would work, he was satisfied with having a basic plan.
“Do you think the other known Eternal Emperors could also fight above their level?” he continued asking.
“I don’t know about that, but based on the Sword Empress and the Absolute Beginning Emperor’s accomplishment, they should at least have the battle powers of 30% or more.”
“I see,” said Wang Wei as he nodded. Then, he finally asked the crucial question:
“So, do you think I should accept Zhen Biyu’s proposition?”
“Well, it’s up to you.”
“I am interested in the Emperor Five Heart’s treasure that could hide from Heavenly Dao and even intervening in the Heaven Will Battle. Do you think it might reach the level of Innate or Chaos Supreme Treasure?”
“Hmm, it might be, or at the very least, very close.”
Wang Wei chatted with her for a while before entering one month of seclusion. He wanted to settle down and plan out his future in detail. Once finished, he walked out of his seclusion with a stack of papers in his hand and went straight to Wu Hong.
“I’ve been thinking about our last conversation. You said it was normal for Ordinary Source Worlds to have dozens of cultivation realms, right?”
“That’s right. Wait, do you want to create a cultivation method to ascend to immortality similar to these Source Worlds?”
“Yes.”
“Unfortunately, it’s impossible.”
“Why?”
“A lot of people have had the same ideas as you. However, they all failed,” replied Wu Hong, reading a book. “Normally, I would not underestimate your ability to achieve things other people could not do, but in this case, it’s simply impossible–unless you have the power to rewrite the entire laws of the Eternal Ascencion World: that’s something even I could not do at my peak.”
Wang Wei frowned, “So what happened to these people’s attempts?”
“Most of the great realms they created turned into small realms that sublimated the 9 Great Mortal Realms of Source Worlds. Furthermore, some realms became useless or could not even be achieved; it was like they were nonsense written by mortals for a story.
“So, after many trials and errors, these people understood that the Laws of Source World only allows for the 9 Mortal Great Realms and the 3 Immortal Realms; nothing more, nothing else.”
Wang Wei pondered briefly before crossing out something from the paper in his hand: “I guess this plan is useless. Alright, I have to go see my father.”
So, he kissed Wu Hong’s cheeks before flying away to Tianwei Peak to see his father and handing over the stack of paper.
“Why don’t you use talisman for information?”
“I like the feel of paper.”
Wang Tian shook his head before using his Divine Sense to read this document of over 1000 pages in just a few seconds. His lips twitched after he finished, so he reread a few times to ensure he was correct.
He then looked at his son and said: “The answer is no.”
“What do you mean?”
“Are you insane? Don’t you understand what you’re asking? You want me to give you all the resources to cultivate your Nine Incarnations! You basically want the sect to raise ten of you.”
“So?”
“Do you know how expensive one of you is?” said Wang Tian, with veins almost popping on his forehead. “You want all Innate treasures to temper your incarnations’ body; that’s 8 Innate treasures for each incarnation.
“And if you add the Star Essence to open and nurture your acupoints, that’s another innate level resource; you’re asking for nine Innate treasures for each incarnation for a total of 81.
“On top of that, you want to place Time Formation to surround all the Great Thousand Worlds where your incarnations will grow.”
“If I don’t do that, they will not reach the Quasi-Emperor Realm in time,” argued Wang Wei.
“I”m sure they won’t, but this won’t change how expensive one of these formations is, let alone to surround an entire world? Do you think our family has trees where heavenly resources keep falling, and we can just pick them up as we please?”
“But I know we have the resources.”
“We do, but not all of it can be used on you.”
“What if I have this?” replied Wang Wei as he handed Wang Wucheng’s token. After inspecting it, Wang Tian said: “Even so, you can only get the resources for three of the incarnations.”
Wang Wei smacked his lips: “You’re making being a second-generation rich young master not fun anymore.”
“Watch how you behave. Even if you’re now stronger than me, I’m still your father, and I can still give you a family beating.”
“Alright, I”m sorry.”
“That’s better. And you better not show this nonsense to your mother. The Yu clan does not have the financial capability of our sect, and if she knew about it, she could probably force them to support one of your incarnations at the price of ruining their foundations.”
“I know. Anyways, I still have a rich wife.”
Wang Tian exhaled deeply to calm down: “You need to prepare for the Sect Master Ceremony very soon.”
“So soon? Aren’t you perfectly fine?”
“The Path of Supreme will be open soon, and I need to enter Mortal Dust. After thinking about it, I think you should take your position sooner rather than later.”
“Alright, I’ll be ready.”
Wang Tian nodded before shooing him away. So, Wang Wei returned to his mansion to ask Wu Hong for resources; he had no shame in smoothing on his wife.
“I can only give you the resources for two Incarnations,” she replied calmly.
“Why?”
“I never had the need for much resources, so that’s all I have on me. Plus, you can’t be too over-reliant on me.”
“Et Tu, Wu Hong? What happened to you raising me as your boy toy?”
Wu Hong ignored him as she focused on her novel; it was getting to the good part, so she had no time for his drama. Meanwhile, Wang Wei was thinking about when he visited America for a business trip.
He remembered the slight culture shock he received after learning about the concept of “sugar mommy.” He also remembered how he secretly wished he had one of these, and until now, he thought he did.
But no, apparently, her financial support was limited.
“Fine, I’ll find the remaining resources on my own,” said Wang Wei as he already had an idea how: his Soul Network Ability.
