Paragon Of Sin

Chapter 1211 1205:A Deal

Bing Tianʼs words fueled by vindictive hate for her demise and situation had unknowingly exposed one of the greatest mysteries that Wei Wuyin had sought to unearth in the last two decades: Who was the Temporal Reincarnator?!

The unknown had spurred Wei Wuyin into many changes, unwilling to become a victim of someoneʼs knowledge of the future, and he overturned the entire world to change it. In debonair Wei Wuyinʼs life, there had never been a Temporal Reincarnator, never been a justification to strive for change and peerless excellence, and the only threat he faced in his mind was the Calamities of Hell and vengeful Blessed that might traverse along his path. The low-key actions led to him becoming stronger in cultivation Realms, reaching the Mystic Ascendant Realm very early, and developing Ascendants to a terrifying level relative to the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region, yet all this caused his collapse when Liu Yinlanʼs schemes took effect.

Like butter in oneʼs mouth, that version of himselfʼs sense of security and freedom melted away uncontrollably.

While there were other differences in their experience, such as on the Myriad Yore Continent, that caused them to be notably different individuals with far different mindsets, both themselves and their Astral Souls, it was the existence of the Temporal Reincarnator that greatly led Wei Wuyinʼs down the path of excellence.

All for the possible sake of facing a Blessed so loaded with Karmic Luck that the Heavenly Daos ravaged the River of Time, injuring a manifestation of a law, to give them a second chance. Should he face this person, his strength, both personal and external, had to be absolutely flawless to resist becoming a victim of their knowledgeable machinations—as Yun Che had.

The Evil Blessed verified Wei Wuyinʼs belief that the Temporal Reincarnator had the means to devastate a Blessedʼs greatest fortune with ease. Yun Che had seized three Heavenly World Cores, enough to make Worldly Saints declare war against each other in the World Beyond, yet it was all taken by a mortal woman and two Demi-Mortal Lords with preparation and foresight of his weakness.

How infuriating was that?

San Yongli—she was said to have been adopted by the San Clanʼs Empress in the Everlore Starfield after the death of her only child during the birthing process. No one knew where she came from, but she was considered to be gorgeous to an absurd degree, measured as having outstanding talent, essentially blessed by the heavens. Despite this, she was rumored as having no inclination for cultivation and relatively lazy in her daily life, which was further enabled by the San Empressʼ love and doting for her.

In Wei Wuyinʼs life, he had never gotten into direct conflict with the San Clan despite the growing tension between them. If the Everlore Starfield remained, Wei Wuyin had very little doubt a war for the starfieldʼs ruling authority would have erupted sooner or later.

Wei Wuyin had suspected San Yongli as a possible Blessed and Temporal Reincarnator due to her history, including the verified Intel that she had become the adopted daughter of San Luoyang, a Prime Alchemic Sovereign, and high-level figure of the Everlore Association, with very little tangible effort as to why. She was shrouded in mystery, and Wei Wuyin could only gather that she was different with a history that contained the signs of the Heavenly Daosʼ machinations of greatness.

It followed a similar line as Jing Jiu, who remained hidden for two hundred years while being declared as a hopelessly untalented cultivator. But in a short period, he erupted with intense potential and combat strength that made him noticed by forces, finding traces of an ancient, interlinked, and glorious past linked to the Forsaken Zenith, Unto Origin Method.

If the Heavenly Daos was one thing, it was a little predictable with its planning. Yuan Longshi and Long Chen shared similar paths as War Blessed, littered with bloody corpses and battles for women, treasure, and personal pride.

Bing Tian continued, ignorant of the storm raging in Wei Wuyinʼs heart or his thoughts: ”The two other Heavenly Cores should be with San Yongli and Highlord Spiritwalker. San Yongli had been refining one through some strange, profound method and the other was kept by the injured Highlord Spiritwalker. Theyʼre currently cultivating within the Ancient Sky Realm, San Luoyangʼs World Realm.”

Bing Tian held nothing back! She exposed their location without a shred of guilt, her eyes carrying no honor or loyalty towards those two. Considering she was on the verge of sacrificing Highlord Spiritwalker for survival before, it was clear she had little love for either woman.

”Ancient Sky Realm…” Wei Wuyinʼs stormy heart settled as he began to think about San Yongli, the Ancient Sky Realm, the Temporal Reincarnator, and the piece of the Heavenly Daos that was a result of the mutual injuring of the River of Time and itself. The Black Skeleton had said it was his choice whether to kill or leave the Temporal Reincarnator be.

If he was at the Realm of Sages, likely exceeding the Mystic Ascendant Realm, his cultivation base wouldʼve been high enough to instantly sense San Yongliʼs location through the Bloodline of Sin. Unfortunately, he was unable to grasp the chance the Black Skeleton had left him, so he didnʼt have the choice of mercy or extraction.

But now…

…he did.

”Do you know the objective of San Yongliʼs refinement method?” Wei Wuyin inquired.

”If I had to guess, transforming her Spirit of Cultivation. Itʼs said that a Heaven Relic could elevate oneʼs cultivation foundation to the heavens in one leap, paving the path for a cultivation beyond the legendary Worldly Saint. If the Divine Emperor knew of this, he would likely scour the entire world without hesitation.” Bing Tian hadnʼt been able to refine the Heaven Relic, otherwise known as the Heavenly World Core, herself so she wasnʼt fully aware of its benefits.

Wei Wuyinʼs brows furrowed. With the Heavenly World Core, he could push for a better, improved version of the Neo-Dawn Origin Paste. The current Concoction method and limitations restrict transforming a cultivatorʼs Spirit of Cultivation to the 4th Origin State with the transcendent variant. If he truly added the Heavenly Mana of the Heavenly World Core into the pasteʼs Concoction Method, tweaked it to be easy to integrate and safe to refine by incorporating other materials, and assisted in the process with Mana Dominance, he had an inkling of elevating it to an untold level.

A true peak ninth-grade…no, a true ʼpinnacleʼ ninth-grade product.

It might be on par with Echoing Stars of the Vastness Pill! No, it might even EXCEED that!

Wei Wuyin had only thought of using the fragment of the Heavenly World Core in his pellet Concoction, but this single Heavenly World Core contained an unbelievable amount of Heavenly Mana.

Suddenly, Bing Tianʼs next words were blurred by his consciousness as his two minds began to deliberate and debate on the variety of ways to approach the situation. Within the Library of Eden, books and images flashed across the two as they talked and exchanged words. After surviving the pain of Hellfire, his Second Mind was noticeably different with faint mental energy blazing upon its skin, yet it was entirely indifferent as the radiance of enlightened light erupted from its eyes.

While it hadnʼt fully recovered, it was definitely of a different breed of mental construct from Wei Wuyinʼs original mind.

Eventually, after expending about seventy percent of their raw mental energies, the two looked at each other and the excitement between them was palpable to the utmost.

”Iʼve never thought Iʼd scrap a Concoction Method so early in my life for a better version,” Wei Wuyin sighed as he waved his hand and formed a newly forged concoction method in the form of a thick tome. It was no longer the Neo-Dawn Origin Paste, but the Neo-Dawn Heavenly-Origin Paste.

The paste that would eventually set the stage for the Neo-Dawn legacy alongside the Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill and the Neo-Dawn Soul-Sea Elixir for the World Beyond.

”...what will you do to me?” Bing Tianʼs words littered with waves of fear, uncertainty, and insecurity brought Wei Wuyin back to reality. He looked at this astonishing gorgeous Spiritform, the perfect Yin Cauldron, and he sighed in his heart. She was keenly intelligent, aware that her current state was weak, that even a Starlord could suppress her, and she maintained her Primal Yin in this strange, spiritual state. She could have it extracted or worse.

Eventually, he had to reconcile with the fact that he wasnʼt a saint that acted selfishly against his interest. ”In your current state, your cultivation path has more or less been severed. Youʼre neither a complete soul nor a Spirit of Cultivation, and you need both to tread the conventional path of cultivation. Iʼll be straightforward with you: I saved your life, but I have no obligation to assist you.”

”...I know.” Bing Tian blurted out indignantly, but she kept her pride and held her head high. ”Are you going to extract my cultivation?” She blurted out directly, fearlessness in her eyes. Even if she lost her cultivation, she couldnʼt use any of it at the moment. The operation of power that a Spirit of Cultivation was different from a cultivator. With time, she would grasp powers and senses that would bear an inferior resemblance to Wang Yutian, but most of Wang Yutianʼs power came from his control of formations and arrays of others.

”Likely, yes.” Wei Wuyin didnʼt feel the need to lie. His honest words caused Bing Tian to look sullen, but slightly relieved. At the very least, she might be able to survive whatever Wei Wuyin intended to do, and if she could find a way to reverse this, and gain a new body, she could recultivate. She was a young Demi-Mortal Lord with nearly twenty thousand years in her lifespan left.

”I wonʼt resist. I know I might not have the qualifications to, but any headache that can be avoided should be, right?” Bing Tian tapped into her inner realist and understood she had very little room for negotiation. She could only say, ”In fact, Iʼll assist you in whatever you need. Iʼll willingly transfer my cultivation to you.”

”For?” Wei Wuyin faintly smiled. Even if Wei Wuyin was an above-average Timelord, he could extract the current Bing Tianʼs cultivation without much difficulty.

Bing Tianʼs heart shook, but she stayed the course fearlessly. ”You help me. Help me reverse this. I know youʼre a talented alchemist said to be on par with the King of Everlore, your future is boundless, and you said it yourself: the Dao of Alchemy is limitless. There has to be a way. Even if you canʼt do so now, what if in a thousand or so years?”

”...” Wei Wuyinʼs smile deepened.

”I know! I know that I canʼt offer you anything now, but I reached the Demi-Mortal Lord Phase in my life and kept my chastity intact during that time. If, no, WHEN I regain my body and cultivate again, if you help me reach the Earthly Saint Phase or higher, I promise to be your dual cultivation partner. Iʼll impart my entire knowledge of cultivation to you, assist you in whatever you need, and join your crusades.” Bing Tian laid it all out on the table, even offering herself.

She even took into consideration that Wei Wuyin would extract her Demi-Mortal Lord cultivation, so there was no longer a need for him to have a Demi-Mortal Lord Yin Cauldron. However, clearly, she wanted to ride on Wei Wuyinʼs dragon lap to a stage she likely never wouldʼve been able to accomplish alone. Her scheme was so apparent that it was evident she didnʼt attempt to hide it at all. This was what it meant as laying all your cards on the table.

”I see.” Wei Wuyin put on a thoughtful expression, rubbing his chin, closing his eyes, and humming slightly. This caused Bing Tian to grow tense. If she still had a beating heart, it wouldʼve been pounding fiercely at the moment. She resisted the urge to swallow her saliva, unaware that she no longer had any.

”Well, okay.” Wei Wuyin agreed with a bright smile.

”I can offer you dirty secrets of the Bin-wait, what?” She had been ready to throw out more, selling out her clan even. But Wei Wuyin had agreed!

Wei Wuyinʼs amusement was absolutely radiant in his eyes, observing the squeamish and surprised Highlord of the Bing Clan. In truth, Wei Wuyin wanted to see if he could reverse the state of a human-turned-spiritform and intended to study the possibility of the reverse as well. He wanted to see if he could bring Wang Yutian back.

If he could, wouldnʼt he be able to secure himself a Worldly Saint? What would a Demi-Mortal Lord Bing Tian account for? She was a perfect test subject for his experiments.

As for Bing Tianʼs cultivation, he was going to extract it, and he was going to refine it into his Solar Star project. This will certainly give him a pleasant surprise. After all, a womanʼs Primal Yin contained the purest form of insights within their cultivation, including Mystic Runes. While using Star Power was incredible, that was second-hand mystic energy at most.

”San Yongli, I canʼt wait to finally meet you.” Wei Wuyin was anticipating the moment of meeting a Temporal Reincarnator Blessed with enough Karmic Luck that the Heavenly Daos injured itself and the Incarnation of time itself to bring her back. How interesting would she be?

For now, he needed to urgently return to his Solar Star project. ”Letʼs go. Iʼm rather curious to know about the secrets of the Bing Clan and perhaps even the Imperial Clan if you have any to tell.” Wei Wuyin engulfed Bing Tian in a ball of spiritual light and began to establish a Void Point.
