Chapter 518: Sword One
Wang Wucheng squinted his eyes as he remembered someone reporting this kid’s plans to him. However, it was not fully detailed, so he did not know how to accomplish such a feat.
“Big words, kid. So, how exactly are you going to do such a thing?”
Wang Wei smiled before using his Divine Sense to communicate his plans. Wang Wucheng became more serious the more he listened.
“Your plan might work, but are you prepared to be the enemy of the entire Endless Void?”
“It won’t be that bad,” replied Wang Wei. “I’m sure I can convince many people to be on my side, and everyone can benefit.”
Wang Wucheng shook his head, “You give cultivators too much credit. Most worlds are xenophobic–including Great Emperors–so they won’t let outsiders intervene in their plane–even if it benefits them.”
“So, I must take into account greater resistance; dully noted.”
“As long you understand,” replied Wang Wucheng before disappearing, making Wang Wei’s mouth twitch.
“You could have given me a ride home,” he muttered before also teleporting home.
Back in his secret realm, as soon as Wang Wucheng arrived, the voice asked him: “What did he do this time?”
So, Wang Wuchend explained the situation.
“This kid is like a gift that keeps on given.” The voice knew what this ability meant for any sect. If a True Monarch meets the requirement, the sect can send them to the Lower Realm to take the Dao Ancestor Tribulation, and Wang Wei can help them pass the trial.
This method will continue to be effective if he can withstand the backlash, or maybe until True Heavenly Dao intervenes.
“Do you think we should ask him to test it out now?” the voice asked. Cultivators in their realm cannot intervene in another person’s tribulation, or their punishment will come directly from True Heavenly Dao.
And one of the reasons Wang Wei can achieve such a feat is his unnatural Willpower and his status as a Fateless, which shield him greatly from Heavenly Dao’s detection and punishment.
“No,” replied Wang Wucheng.
“If you’re worried about his safety, we will protect him at all cost.”
“We don’t know whether doing so will have any negative effects, and it’s not wise to risk a few more Dao Ancestors for a possible Eternal Emperor.”
“Indeed,” muttered the voice. If their actions negatively affected the kid before the Heaven Will Battle, the benefit would not be worth it.
“Plus, the kid is far more valuable and cunning than we expected,” added Wang Wucheng before explaining the plan Wang Wei had told him about. The voice became silent for a few minutes.
“In that case, we need to prepare in advance to give us a headstart.”
Wang Wucheng frowned, “What are you worried about?”
“The other sects.”
“I’m not following.”
“I’ve observed this kid, and he is a little too open-minded; I wish he were a little more selfish.”
“Are you worried he will give the other sects a chance to compete with us?”
“Yes, as long as we prepare in advance, we will benefit most.”
Wang Wucheng shook his head, “If his plan were to succeed, he would need to display a certain level of impartiality–especially to leave a precedent for future Emperors. However, that’s only on the surface.
“The kid will take good care of us.”
“You’re probably right, but there is nothing wrong with being a little cautious.”
Wang Wucheng did not say anything more since he knew this was how that person operated. The sect has survived many catastrophes without injuring the foundation and even thrived because of their cautions.
“Since the kid has shown its value, we should do the same,” said the voice. “Do you want to give him more resources for his incarnations?”
“There is no need.”
“Oh, why not?”
“As our future leader, we have tested this kid in most categories, and he has far surpassed our requirements. We could not even grade him with some criteria because of how excellent he was.
“However, we never tested his ability to gather resources; I think this is a great opportunity.”
“You want to copy the Ancient Clan’s method?” the voice asked. The Ancient Clans and some Emperor Lineages have other ways to test their Heaven Chosen.
They would send their genius out of the sect after they reached the age of cultivation. These geniuses can only return to the sect after reaching a specific cultivation realm–usually the Supernatural or Divine Body Realm.
During this time of their cultivation, these Heaven Chosens have to find resources for themselves, relying on their luck, intelligence, commerce, joining other sects, or even robbing others.
The clans only provided them with cultivation techniques and a Dao Protector. In some factions, even cultivation techniques will not be provided.
The factions do this as a way to temper these Heaven Chosens. Or at least, some of them do. The Ancient Clans mainly do this because of their lack of resources.
Most of the Ancient clan’s branch members are the ones sent out to the world to acquire resources, but the main members chosen as potential Heaven Chosens will be cultivated by the clan’s resources.
“Yes, something similar,” replied Wang Wucheng.
“That’s fine. But, I feel we still have to reward him with something.”
“Hmm, I remember his father once reported to me that he asked if the sect has the Great Emperor’s blood.”
“Emperor’s blood? We ran out a long time ago.”
“That’s unfortunate.”
“In that case, I’ll ask Sword One if she could get some for him.”
Sword One likes to dote on the talented younger generation, unlike Origin One, who is more strict and responsible for his duties. The only downside is she has strict requirements.
In the past few generations, only Wang Tian received her aid in the form of instruction through his dream. He owed her a lot of his achievements in the Dao of the Sword.
The voice disappeared before traveling to another Secret Realm of the sect. It was a world where the earth, the clouds, the air, the grass, the trees, and everything in existence were made of swords.
At the very center of this Secret Realm lay a coffin with two swords inserted into it.
“Sir, I have something to report.”
A few seconds later, a melodious voice responded: “What is it this time?”
Then the voice explained everything about Wang Wei’s recent events, plans for the future, and requests for Emperor’s blood.
A hand as white as jade pushed out the coffin before a slightly voluptuous woman walked out. A single glance and people would immediately think she was an unparalleled beauty.
Unfortunately, they would not be able to know for sure as she had a plain silver mask on, which made people wonder what she was hiding: her beauty, some sort of deformation, or was she just a woman of many secrets?
Sword One had heard of this junior from the recent World Collision and planned to contact him if he passed his Outlaw Trial. She looked into the distance, her eyes ignoring the concept of space itself.
She saw Wang Wei having dinner with his family.
‘The Nine Extremity Foundation? This thing is real?’
Sword One could not believe such a thing was real, and she even found someone trying to accomplish it.
‘There seems to be another one.’ She looked in the Western Continent, where she saw Di Tian cultivating inside the seal.
‘This one already succeeded. *Sigh* This generation is something else.’
“Sir, what is your decision?” asked the voice.
“I’ll go to the Endless Void to get the blood for him. Even better, I’ll see if I can find an Emperor who cultivates the Dao of Fate or some aspect of it.”
“Most aspects of fate are Outlaw Daos, so I doubt you’ll find something.”
Any person who can cultivate Outlaw Daos to the Emperor Realm is not an ordinary person, and the chances of any of them staying in the lower dimension are closed to none.
“I know, so my goal is those people who cultivate Fate Dao as their secondary Daos, not their main ones.”
It is common for Emperors and Dao Ancestors to cultivate a secondary Grand Dao Source after proving the Dao. But there are restrictions between the primary and secondary Dao.
“Even then, it should be rare,” commented the voice.
“If I don’t find what I want, I’ll go into the Dao Burial Ground.”
“Sir, isn’t that too dangerous?”
“I’ll act swiftly and behead a Third Class Emperor before the others react; it should be fine.”
The voice was momentarily speechless. “What if the Eternal Emperors decide to counter-attack?”
“These rats know better not to intervene in a generation where a Glorious Age is occurring. Plus, they would not dare to come out with that kid’s wife present.”
The voice understood why she wanted to take the risk; it was a calculated move.
“Even so…”
“As I said, I will look in the Endless Void first,” said Sword One.
“Sir, can I ask something?”
“Are you wondering why I’m going to such length?”
“Yes.”
“Everyone knows a new Era is coming. But based on what you told me, I hope this kid is the one who began this era. In his hand, it might be the greatest time of prosperity the Myriad Emperor World has ever seen.
“No, maybe, even the entire Endless Void.”
The voice did not know what to say; he did not expect such a high evaluation for the kid. But, he did not doubt Sword One’s words. As one of the sect’s oldest and most powerful cultivators, as someone who has lived since the Ancient Emperor Era, her vision and experience is not something he can compare.
“Alright, I’m leaving. Tell Origin One to keep things safe for me.”
After saying that, she took the two swords from her coffin before disappearing. And as soon as she did so, many ancient existences sleeping or hiding in the Myriad Emperor World detected it and wondered what this mad woman would do.
Nevertheless, a lot of them prayed her target was not them.
