1140 Perfect Foundation
Wang Wei saw someone already in that place cultivating - the Purple Insect Emperor. He instantly realized this man was a unique insect race that feasted on people's emotions and that this man had been here for a while.
'Another Emperor appeared during Dugu Jing's absence?' Wang Wei realized this person was the world's second Emperor due to the Balance Mechanism. He ignored the latter and focused on the tree.
'So, I was not the only one with that idea,' Wang Wei thought as he watched the Purple Insect Emperor spending all his focus on nourishing the Law Tree to turn it into a Grand Dao Source Tree. From his knowledge and experience, this man was not the first.
Wang Wei detected signs that countless prior Emperors had tried a similar tactic but failed. Their attempt is why this tree has lasted so long, but for some reason, it had never evolved into what they wished it to.
'Their actions have saved me a lot of time while also showing me what not to do. However, how dare this bastard ruin my treasure.'
He could tell the Purple Insect Emperor was also trying to corrupt this tree with negative emotions that only he could use. Wang Wei pointed at him: "Become its nourishment."
Before he could react, the Purple Insect Emperor turned into a white light that entered the tree. Then, he absorbed all the negative emotions he had previously injected into it, purifying them before turning them into the best nourishment for the tree.
"You're lucky I'm in a good mood, so I'll leave your Dao Imprint intact," Wang Wei muttered as he looked at the tree. 'Its roots are firmly planted into the laws of Heaven and Earth while being monitored by Heavenly Dao itself. In that case, the way to evolve this thing might not be to nourish it with the Grand Dao Source but to find a way to plant it directly there.'
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlthough that might be a little difficult, it should not be impossible, so Wang Wei nodded in satisfaction.
"I'm not a completely heartless person, and I understand the need for balance and preservation," he muttered to himself. "So, I won't completely rob you."
He removed the protections around the tree before placing his hand on the tree and used his [Purpose Manipulation Technique] to have it condense two seeds, which was an abnormality as this tree normally did not create seeds. It was one of those rare spiritual objects that would grow randomly in nature, and someone had to be lucky to find one.
He put the tree inside his own item space, perfectly preserved despite not having laws to place its root-along with one of the two seeds. He planted the second speed on the spot and used Time Dao to accelerate its growth.
'Although it's not as powerful as it used to be after losing the power from the Grand Dao Baptism, it's better than not having the tree at all.'
Wang Wei disappeared, and during this entire ordeal, Heavenly Dao did not say a peep as it knew it was pointless. It even delayed releasing visions of the falling of this world's Emperor.
After this world, Wang Wei continued his vacation. He visited the Ghost Immortal World since their cultivation was unique since they abandoned their body, turning into a life similar to the Soul Race. He then visited a string of Yin/Soul/Death-related worlds like the Soul Sublimation World and the Underworld Yin World. He aimed to see whether he would find more people susceptible to serve in his Samsara Court. After all, the environment was perfect for these kinds of cultivation environments, and hopefully, these people could pass the test to serve.
Wang Wei's next destination was the [Profession Worlds]: Myriad Pill World, Myriad Armament World, and Myriad Runes Worlds. All these worlds focused on displaying skills to prove the Dao instead of fighting, and the Myriad Runes World is the most competitive since Array Masters and Talisman Makers are the priority groups fighting over understanding and applying runes. He met Yan Liling in the Myriad Runes World and had a brief chat.
His next destination was the Mechanized Puppet World, where Cai Song had spent much of her time, followed by the Beast Master World to see if he could find himself a cute pet/follower. All protagonists he's read about have an animal companion who is a super rare mythical creature, so Wang Wei wanted one for himself. Sadly, nothing caught his eye.
His final destination was the Central Spirit World - a Heaven Will World ruled over by the Spirit Race. Death Reverence likely originated from this place, and Wang Wei wanted to try his luck to see if he could find something. After all, he has always been lucky. Sadly, fate was not on his side today, so he finally teleported to the Extremity Sea. He looked at the gray sea, took a deep breath, and entered.
Nothing happened, and Wang Wei relaxed. He tried to observe or detect any formation, but no matter what he tried, this was nothing but an ordinary fog. He sat cross-legged and waited. Then, a myriad of rare resources appeared around him.
Wu Hong's technique contained pictures and detailed information on these things, so Wang Wei recognized each of them. "Let's get started." Four red magic circles materialized in all four directions, boxing him inside. They released a devouring power to first absorb all the secondary materials for this technique, and after a few seconds, the Heavenly Dao Seed from a Central Dao Source Seed.
Wang Wei's clothes disappeared as soon as the magic circles absorbed the blue seed with traces of golden threads weaved on it that resembled runes. He felt like a baby in embryonic fluid, but his mother was Heavenly Dao itself, not just a regular one, but a genuine product.
Then, his body disintegrated atom by atom, spiritual particles by spiritual particles, energy by energy, and even on a conceptual level-his body was taken apart. Yet, he was still alive. The Perfect Tear - which was a drop of liquid so black that nothing could taint or affect it, making it perfect ⌜ was absorbed by the magic circles.
Wang Wei's consciousness immediately found himself in this white space with mostly gray dots, lines, and even shapes weirdly drawn as if a child had created a bunch of doodles with no direction or purple.
'The blueprint of my [Existence].' This thought originated from Wang Wei's mind out of nowhere, and he knew this was one of those secrets of Heaven and Earth you would know instinctively after coming in contact with it.
A purple bottle containing Grand Dao's blood levitated from the ground or fog and fused with the magic circles. When Wang Wei first examined this thing, he was glad he came here because the aura from blood was enough to annihilate him if not for the bottle's protection.
After the fusion, Wang Wei saw another white space with similar weird drawings, except more complicated or nonsense, while also only containing the colors white and black. His space was primarily gray and included all the other colors, but this one was white and black.
Wang Wei used this technique, and it led his eyes to a particular area of this new white space. He immediately knew he had to copy that section of this space into his own space.
'I see. Only transcendent beings can be considered perfect. No, maybe the act of transcending is an act of perfecting the self. That's why it's a taboo.'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWang Wei knew what to do; he focused his mind and gained access or control to a powerful will. 'Is this what it would feel like to manipulate True Heavenly Dao?' He had to admit that the power was riveting, even though it was not real since it originated from a seed and not the real Central Source Chaos World.
He reined in his mind before starting: his objective was simple - copy the perfect aspect of Grand Dao into his own [Existence]. The process was strenuous and required deep concentration, and Wang Wei realized why Hong'er allowed him to use this technique in the Emperor Realm - his Paragon Soul. He now had full access to its spiritual power.
Furthermore, his Willpower also played a role as he resisted the irresistible urge to fuse with these scribbly lines he saw in Grand Dao's Blueprint. Every instinct of his body told him he was committing blasphemy, so he should stop and instead fuse with this higher existence. However, despite this, he had to resist and focus to finish the job within the allocated time.
'Damn it. If only I had more time,' he cussed once the new space disappeared. He only copied a small portion and wished he had more time. Wang Wei's white space also disappeared, and then, his consciousness saw a crown with three lotus and five jewels of different colors.
'Three Flowers on a Crown.'
He watched as these flowers, which previously had 12 metals each, developed a thirteenth golden petal. In other words, his Grade 1 flowers further evolved so that they could now be classified as Grade 0.
The Spirit Flower lit up, and his powerful, chained soul was rapidly rebuilt. No, just rebuilt as it were before, but better, purer, slightly stronger, and more importantly, with more potential.
The Essence Flower was next, and three glowing lights materialized, followed by the growth of his skin, muscles, bones, organs, blood, and cells - his powerful fleshly body was back and like his soul, with even greater potential for growth and development.
Lastly, the Qi Flower illuminated, and Wang Wei felt he had gained access to all his Dao, followed by a sublimation of his [Dao Body].
'Is this?' His previous experiment in the Science and Technology World allowed him to realize this change: his [concept] contained had increased. Not only that, but it was already filled, and he did not have to do that much work.
The magic circles disappeared, and Wang Wei's naked body stood in this gray fog. His aura had a subtle change: he seemed a little more perfect.
