Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 421: True Dao of Power

”Youʼre right about that,” replied Wang Tian. ”More than 2500 years have passed since you left, and most of your peers are already in the Shackle Removing steps of the Primordial Spirit Realm.”

Wang Wei nodded his head as something that was on his mind regarding the exact timing of the Heaven Will Battle of different World Communities was finally answered.

For example, the average lifespan of the True Monarchs of the Beginning Profound Continent is a hundred thousand years. Although the Heaven Chosens of their world will have a much higher number, there is still a limit.

The limit of lifespan and the cultivation system determined the rates at which the geniuses of any Heaven Will World grow. In some systems, they can become True Monarchs in just a few hundred years, while in others, it might take them a few million years.

However, if that is true, that meant that worlds with faster cultivation systems would have an advantage as Great Emperors would be born first in their world.

Now, imagine if these Emperors decided to interfere in the Heaven Will Battle of other worlds: whether it was for their benefit or the people closed to them, this would become an issue.

As the saying goes, the early birds get the worms.

Wang Wei finally understood how this problem is solved: Time Flow. The time flow of each World Communities is different to accommodate the cultivation system and the growth of rate of its participants. That way, all the Heaven Will Battles will occur at a relatively similar time and prevent the occurrence of the previous scenario.

ʼThere is no way that this is a coincidence. The way that the universe functions has established rules and methods. Everything is concise, everything has order. So, is [Order] another part of Fate?

ʼThe way that plants grow, the change of the seasons, the movement of the sun and the stars, and even the evolution of life in the form of cultivation can be a form of order. This is also the way that fate determined its control over all things in the universe. Now, the question is, what is the antithesis of Order, Chaos, play in the overall picture of fate?”

An ethereal aura emanated from Wang Wei as he enter a state of deep epiphany. Meanwhile, the people around him were on guard to ensure that no one disturbed him.

Wang Tian had a strange look on his face as he watched his son. At first, he thought that he was distracted because he was left behind by his peers in terms of cultivation level; he was even prepared to encourage him and soothe his worries.

But now, it is obvious that this was not required.

ʼThis kid is strange. Not long ago after his fight, he had an epiphany, and now he was having one again. Plus, Yan Chen told me that he previously had one not long ago when he visited the Eternal Dream Sect.ʼ

He guessed that it was his sonʼs Soul that was finally showing its ability. He would never forget the dread he felt the first time he checked his sonʼs soul after he was born.

It was then that he knew that his son was destined for greatness. That even in this generation where countless Heavenly Physiques were appearing, he would have no problem rising.

More than 30 minutes later, the strange aura surrounding Wang Wei disappeared and the power of fate flashed across his eyes. An air of mystery suddenly exuded from his body; it was as if he had peeped at the essence of the world and learned its deepest secrets.

Wang Wei immediately controlled his sudden change of aura to return to normal before thanking everyone for protecting him. Wang Tian placed his hand on his shoulder:

”Itʼs good to become enlightened and increase your strength. As for the time you lost, you donʼt have to worry about that. The sect has a secret realm with a Time Formation; you can use it to catch up.”

Wang Wei was not worried. With the World Source he has at hand, he could speed up his cultivation to catch up to the others without affecting his foundation. Plus, having higher cultivation did not mean much since most of them will still have to wait a while before the final battle after becoming Quasi-Emperors.

The group then returned home. As Wang Wei watched the floating chain of mountains, a genuine smile appeared on his face; he was finally home. However, there was no time for him to admire the view as his father took him directly to a secret place.

”Remember to be extra respectful,” said Wang Tian, and Wang Wei nodded. Soon, after going through a few formations that checked every part of his existence, he found himself in front of a small cottage.

And not long after arriving at his destination, he saw an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in a white robe. An immortal-like aura came from his old manʼs body as if he was a higher being living in the mortal world.

”Greetings, Elder Dan,” said Wang Tian as he bowed, and Wang Wei followed.

”Youʼre the sect master, there is no need to bow to me.”

Wang Tian smiled and did not comment. ”Iʼve brought my son; check to see if he meets the criteria.”

Elder Dan then looked at Wang Wei, who had a slightly surprised look on his face.

”So, youʼve noticed; quite capable.”

”Are you really…”

”Yes, I am an Emperor Tier Pill.”

The moment he walked into the room he felt that this person was different, unique in some way. So, he activated his True Vision and realized that he was a pill and one of the highest levels.

With all the novels he had read in his past life, he was not surprised that a pill could become conscious or even become a sentient being. He was only surprised because he would meet one at this caliber now.

”I will scan your body to check your injuries, so be prepared and do not resist.”

Wang Wei nodded as if he did not mind. He knew a powerful existence like could see most of his secrets without him even noticing. The fact that Elder Dan was asking was out of etiquette.

Wang Wei did not feel anything so he did not even know if the process was taking place. The only information he had going on for him was the concentrated look on the other personʼs face. Even his Paragon-quality soul did not detect anything, once again reminding him that it only provided him with some advantage and that it was not omnipotent.

Wang Wei had to sigh at the great distance between himself and these Immortal Existences. The gap between mortals and immortals was truly vast beyond compare.

A few seconds later, Elder Dan said: ”Your son is truly talented. He even reached the minimum threshold to cultivate the True Dao of Power.”

”True Dao of Power?” asked Wang Wei in confusion.

”Oh right, you have not even begun to open your Star Acupoints yet, so you might not know. I have to say, to be able to see the Gate of Power so early on, youʼre truly talented in the Body Refining Department.”

Edler Dan paused for a moment to gather his thought:

”Once you are done opening your Star Acupoints, there are two paths to follow in cultivating the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture]. For the people who have not seen the Gate of Power, they can follow the Path of Law.

”By comprehending the Law of Power and baptizing the fleshly body to increase strength. Well, it does not have to be the Law of Power but it is the ideal one. However, according to our ancestors, these people will never have the opportunity to open that Gate.

”Of course, there is another path also referred to as the True Dao of Power. To thread on that path, body refiners have to continue tempering their bodies to increase the amount of pure physical force that they can exert.

”The entire concept revolved around the idea that if my body can exert a force comparable to trillions of stars exploding with one punch, I can break all laws, concepts, realities, or Daos in existence.

”However, you can imagine the difficulty of that path.”

Wang Wei did understand. The Law Path mostly requires comprehension to temper the body, while the True Path required an untold amount of effort and resources.

For example, Wang Wei could tell that once he opened all his Star Acupoint, most Quasi-Emperors heavenly materials or treasures will have little effect on tempering his body.

And after a while, all of them will not have any effect and he has to use things on the Immortal Level. Or, he has to find other body refining cultivation techniques that are still useful to him, otherwise, his True Dao of Power cultivation will be stopped.

Luckily for him, he did not lack resources or unique cultivation techniques for now.

”So, what will happen once I open the Gate of Power?”

”That is something for you to discover,” replied Elder Dan with a smile. ”But I can tell you that even the Ancient Desolate Emperor did not succeed in opening the Gate, at least not before he left.

”Many of the ancestors have followed in his footsteps, trying to achieve that goal and none have succeeded so far. So, this will not be an easy task.”

”I will try my best.”

”Thatʼs all that matters. Now, letʼs patch you up.”

Elder Dan raised his hand and a golden light appeared. He slowly pushed the light into Wang Weiʼs body. In an instant, Wang Weiʼs face began to change and returned to his handsome and young face.

All the lifespan he previously lost in the battle with Di Tian was recovered, including both the ones from his cultivation level and his fleshly body. And Wang Wei felt that he had even more.

According to his calculation, he could live for at least 3 million years without any problem. However, he frowned as he checked inside his body. Before he could ask, Elder Dan said:

”Someone else will help you fix your foundation.”
