1125 Sibling
"You can be in charge of this task," said Wang Wei. "Anything else?"
"Your majesty, I have a request!" said Feng Heng, sitting two seats to the right.
"I'm listening."
"Would you please change my charter so I have complete control over the Ancient Spirit Realm?"
"Hmm." Wang Wei did not immediately give an answer. He understood why Feng Heng wanted this change, as he wanted to ensure Tantric Buddhism had no problems and that the presence of other people in that world could cause trouble. However, no one liked the idea of one person having absolute control over one world - even if their benefits would actually not be affected.
"I'll allow it," said Wang Wei. "But only Tantric Buddhism is allowed to spread in the Lower Realm of that community."
"That's fair." Feng Heng did not mind too much. Once he places the necessary restrictions, Tantric Buddhism is as much part of [Buddhism] as the other branches like Zen, Pure Land, or Tao-Zen Buddhism.
"Anyone else?"
"I have something." Wang Wei looked at the monkey.
"I heard your world has been reverted to Innate?"
"That's right?"
"Can you sell me the method?"
"The Innate Qi Environment is not on the list of things to export, but if you give me your Bloodline Development Method, I'll sell it to you."
"Forget it," replied Ye Dafu. If he works harder, he might create a solution himself with the help of these old men back home. In the worst-case scenario, he'll just officially travel to the Myriad Emperor World to cultivate. He guessed that bastard Wang Wei would charge him for any extended stay, but it would still be cheaper than buying that method. Wang Wei shrugged.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe meeting continued, and the majority of it was dividing the initial benefits. People had to use their military points to increase their strength or the overall foundations of their lineage. Wang Wei bought the few preserved Immortal Sovereign bodies. Once that was finished, the Eternal Emperors had a short discussion before everyone left. Xu Shi wanted to chat with Wang Wei, so they two stayed.
"This was a perfect opportunity for a Dao Discussion."
"Now is not the right time," replied Wang Wei. His cultivation has remained stagnant by choice so a Dao Discussion would be mostly wasted. However, after he archives the taboo battle realm and will have no issue increasing his cultivation, it will be the perfect time for it.
"The next time we do it, there will be more people, and the effect will be better," Wang Wei reassured her.
"If you say so."
Wang Wei disconnected from the Dream World. He had a lot of things to do, but he also sensed that his time in the lower dimension was not long. His next destination was the Battle Spirit World, the Spirit Genesis Sect, to be precise. Wang Wei easily bypassed the formation protecting the sect since Emperor Jia was nothing but his slave.
He looked at this once most powerful sect, and his senses could not detect the slightest sign of life. That's right, not a single person was alive. Emperor Jia's objective in activating the sect's protective formation was to ensure no one escaped. He even summoned the few people outside the sect during the war to eliminate them.
"Here you are," said Emperor Jia, handing him a space ring with all the resources of the Spirit Genesis Sect, including their Emperor Artifacts, archives, and secret realms that served as their foundation. After absorbing the foundation of such a powerful faction, the Dao Opening Sect will take another leap in strength. They only need to modify some of these resources to fit the Origin System or the Myriad Emperor World.
"Thanks."
Emperor Jia nodded before slowly dissipating; it was for good this time. He had already destroyed his own vault, and now, Wang Wei placed the final nail in the coffin by erasing him from history. From now on, only a few people remember the name Emperor Jia.
Wang Wei took one last glance at the Spirit Genesis Sect, and with a thought, the magnificent buildings turned into sand and dissipated into the wind. The formation remained, preventing anyone from knowing what had happened here. Then, he teleported to a distant mountain, waiting for someone.
"Your majesty," said a deep voice while bowing deeply.
"Gao Buqin, I promised you an opportunity to prove the Dao, and I won't go on my word. A group of people will ascend to the upper dimension with you in a little while. I assume Desolate One told you about the price to pay?"
"He did, and I don't mind."
"Good." Wang Wei waved his hand to give him a token, and Gao Buqin bowed before teleporting away. Wang Wei took one last look at this place, his gaze momentarily stopping at that old man who wanted to cultivate Fate Dao. Then, he returned home, where his family had already prepared a small feast. He sent the space ring to Origin One to deal with things.
"Come. The food is ready," said Yu Yan, and Wang Wei walked in with a smile and immediately started eating.
"Boy, did you see my fight?" asked Wang Chang.
"I did."
"I didn't," added Wang Tian.
"Me too."
"You should have been there. I punched him..."
As always, Wang Wei felt a peaceful atmosphere enveloping his body and mind whenever he had these quiet moments with his family.
"Are you listening to me?"
"Huh? Sorry, I was a little distracted. What did you say?"
"I said, I think I'm ready to fight Yang Kai. What do you think?"
"It should not be an issue," said Wang Wei. The Nine Suns Emperor only proved the Dao three generations ago, and even with the time acceleration of the upper dimension in the previous two generations, his strength should not have improved much. "However, I recommend you enter seclusion one last time to absorb the experience of this war."
"That's what I was thinking," nodded Wang Chang. Wang Wei was about to nod when he sensed something and looked in the distance.
"What happened?" asked Wang Tian.
"Chu Luo ascended."
"Chu Luo? The one that was your competitor during Gu Xuan's trial?"
"Yes." Wang Wei explained the situation to them.
"Such a filial child," sighed Yu Yan.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Hmm? Why do I feel your words contain some hidden meanings?" asked Wang Wei.
"You've overthinking things, as usual," replied Yu Yan, giving him a side-eye.
"Are you really insinuating I'm not filial? Is there a son more filial than me between Heaven and Earth?" Wang Wei felt offended; no, he felt hurt.
"If you were so filial, you would give me grandkids by now," sneered Yu Yan.
"Here we go again. I thought we had this conversation already and came to an understanding."
"What conversation? You and Hong'er decided, and we had no say in the matter."
Wang Wei was genuinely speechless. Who knew his mother was boggling so much "resentment." She fooled him, as he thought they were all right on this front for hundreds of thousands of years.
"Why don't you say something?" said Wang Wei, looking at his father with scrutinizing eyes.
"What do you want me to say?" asked Wang Tian while shrugging. "I'm on your mother's side. I want grandkids - preferably one that can inherit my swordsmanship path."
"Grandpa?" asked Wang Wei, grasping at the last straw.
"Sorry, grandson," added Wang Chang while caressing his white beard. "I also want a great-grandson. You're no longer small and cute, so I want someone I can dote on."
'Is this what my father felt like when the whole family ganged up on him?' thought Wang Wei. 'I don't like this feeling at all.' So, he counterattacked.
"Instead of focusing on me, why not focus on yourselves? What happened to the siblings you guys were going to give me?"
"We're too old for that kind of thing," rebutted Yu Yan. "Plus, do you think I want to bring a child into this world knowing he will live under your halo? I don't want such a fate for my worst enemy."
"Your mother has a point. If we were to give you a sibling, no matter how good of a job we do to raise him, he would never live up to the world's expectation, just cause he's your sibling," nodded Wang Tian.
"That's a terrible excuse. As long as we love him and don't put these expectations on them, they should be fine," replied Wang Wei. "Plus, we don't know for sure if they would not live up to the expectations."
Yu Yan rolled her eyes. "The only way for such a child to live normally in this world is we keep him a mortal his whole life, raise him in another Chaos World, or isolate him from the outside world completely. I don't want to do any of that."
"So, you're never going to have another child because of this?"
"Maybe in the far distant future, when you're only a myth or legend known only in books, we might try again. But for now, that's no longer on the table," explained Yu Yan.
