Inside the secret room, Wang Wei checked the changes in his body. His soul was purified, which was the first time he felt a genuine difference in it. His Origin Essence and Divine Sea further expanded by an exponential factor.

Wang Wei clenched his hand and felt his True Power Dao also reach 19 Fiendgod Force–an increase of one.

”Iʼll take whatever small increase I can get,” he commented before checking his Dao Tree.

”Purple Gold,” he uttered. The entire thing had changed from the previous golden color to purple-gold.

”It makes sense, given my deep understanding of the law.”

Wang Wei could not previously change his Dao Tree because of the limitation of Heaven and Earth. And even after the Science and Technology World–a separate piece of Heaven and Earth–he still could not remove this limitation.

But now, after going beyond the Nine Extremity Foundation, he has broken this limitation.

Wang Wei exhaled, ”After countless years, consistent effort, and numerous trials and tribulations, Iʼve finally reached this step.”

After acquiring Great Emperor strength, he took a significant step in his cultivation. However, it was not enough. He was still immortal and had not escaped the shackles of life and death.

”I wonder what the mystery of this Quantum Realm is and that mighty Will,” muttered Wang Wei, remembering his experience inside. Everything was dark, with only a few luminous spots, which were the [Concept].

The entire realm gave him a sense of boundless, eternal, noble, and supreme.

”It felt like it was one of the modules of the universe similar to the River of Time or the River of Fate. Maybe, a combination of all of them.”

Wang Wei suddenly remembered two quotes from his previous life: ”All path leads to the same destination,” and ”the end of science is theology or Goodhood.”

”Science & Technology and cultivation are different ways to achieve the same thing. Once science develops to a sufficient level, it will enter the domain of ”God,” capable of achieving fantasy or unscientific things.

”Science has Order: water boils at a specific temperature and freezes at another, or an apple will fall after throwing into the air. The way the science universe operates is detailed and precise–as if it was designed as such.

”So, does the universe operates its Order on its own, or is there something maintaining that order like Grand Dao.”

Wang Wei suddenly remembered that terrifying Will waken up. ”Is that the Science and Technology Worldʼs version of Grand Dao? Interesting. Maybe this world is still useful.”

He decided to keep this world–despite the danger. In the future, he will provide them with the bodies of Empyreans and even Paragons to continue their research on the Quantum Realm. Maybe it will become useful one day.

Then, he focused on another thing. Since science and cultivation are different ways to achieve the same thing, what are they trying to achieve? What are their end goals?”

”Transcendence, or Detachment,” muttered Wang Wei with bright eyes. He left his retreat and said a few words to Wu Feng and Wei Enlai before exiting.

The first thing that popped into his mind was to brag to his wife. Although he still could not defeat her, he could still show up. Unfortunately, his face suddenly changed as soon as he exited the secret realm.

A terrifying pressure came from the sky as a humongous eye suddenly manifested above the sky, gazing directly at him.

ʼShit, Grand Dao.ʼ

Wang Wei was incapable of moving, and his thinking became extremely low as the eyes looked at him. And he was not the only one. All the people of the Dao Opening Sect felt this way. Luckily, the eye was directed at Wang Wei, so they did not directly face its power.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei felt powerless. All the excitement for achieving Great Emperor Strenght disappeared.

A few seconds later, the eye disappeared, but black clouds appeared above the sky.

ʼTribulations? No, thatʼs Divine Punishment.ʼ

He swiftly waved his hand to activate the sectʼs Emperor Formation to protect the disciples and elders.

Bang!

A dark lightning bolt fell from the sky, and Wang Wei punched it. Unfortunately, he vomited a mouthful of blood.

”Is this a tribulation, or is it trying to kill me? Well, it does matter.”

His fighting intent rose to the sky as he confronted the lightning and thunder. He fought for an entire weak, reaching the verge of death numerous times. However, he never used the sectʼs formation to help him.

Finally, the clouds disappeared, and Wang Wei floated in the sky. Well, at least, part of him. His lower body was gone, and he was missing his left arm. His face was full of blood, and most of his beautiful hair was burned.

”Not bad,” he commented. ”I should reach 20 Fiendgod Force after this baptism.” Then, he frowned as his soul was also injured. However, the real trouble was this lightning was not easy to remove, meaning he could not rely on his natural regeneration to return to his peak face.

”Huh?” he muttered as some information entered his mind. ”Mortal Emperor?” He knew he received the title of [Mortal Emperor] with many capabilities, including an increase in luck, destiny, and time to become comprehend [Existence].

ʼCan my luck even increase?ʼ The answer he received was positive as he watched his Rainbow Colored Qi Luck Dragon turn white, devoid of any color.

”Thatʼs interesting,” he commented before focusing on other benefits. He could live up to Nine Yuan Epoch and had one more life after proving the Dao.

”Nine Supremacy Foundation? Why do I feel somethingʼs wrong?” He frowned before making a divination to discover the truth of the universe. Then, he saw auspicious signs floating on the Western Continent about 200 years ago.

Although the divination appeared useless, he frowned as his mind worked rapidly, ʼDid Di Tian achieve Ten Supremacy as well?ʼ He already theorized this was possible after seeing the latterʼs reservation when meeting him.

ʼAssuming thatʼs true, why did he receive auspicious signs, and I almost die through a Tribulation? Is it because I used a taboo, and he used an acceptable method? Wait, how did he do it in the first place? Thatʼs not important for now, so letʼs focus.ʼ

His mind continued to work as he calculated infinite possibilities, ʼThere is another possibility. He was the first to achieve Ten Supremacy, and Grand Dao rewarded him.

ʼAs for my tribulation, itʼs most likely because I was second and because I used a taboo.ʼ

Wang Wei believed Grand Dao sensed the presence of another Mortal Emperor, but it could not determine how he achieved this state. So, it checked Wang Wei and realized he used a taboo.

ʼI never believed I could hide the Science and Technology World from a being like Grand Dao. The best explanation for my current situation is whatever means Hongjun used gave me a unique status–the status that I was worthy of intervening in things like taboo to a certain extent.ʼ

By that train of thought, Grand Dao discovered he used a taboo to become a Mortal Emperor, so it gave him a punishment or a trial for his discretion. In the future, people who become Mortal Emperor will have to undergo Tribulation, but it wonʼt be as bad as Wang Weiʼs situation.

”Come with me,” suddenly said a melodious voice.

”Elder Sword?” muttered Wang Wei before opening a portal and leaving. Soon, he saw Sword One and Origin One waiting for him with an elderly man with sage-like features and a faint smell of medicine.

”Elder Dan,” saluted Wang Wei with his head.

”Sect Master, there is no need for pleasantries with your current state,” said the elderly man with deep respect in his voice. ”You only need to relax, and Iʼll fix you.”

”Thank you.”

”It is my honor,” replied Elder Dan with worship in his eyes. He had witnessed a miracle: a mortal with the power of a Great Emperor. No one would believe such a thing, but he experienced it with his own eyes.

Better yet, he will heal such a legend.

Despite living for so long, Elder Dan could not control his emotions for a while, and only after hearing Sword Oneʼs soft cough that he immediately heal Wang Weiʼs injuries.

With a wave of his hand, a green light full of life and vitality appeared in his hand. He infused it into Wang Weiʼs head, healing his cracked skull and regrowing his brain.

The previous Wang Wei could never bare such a tremendous amount of energy. But it was different now.

Then, he slowly regrew Wang Weiʼs fleshly body and refilled his Divine Sea; he even healed Wang Weiʼs Primordial Spirit. Wang Weiʼs Law Altar and Dao Tree contained the power of [Nothingness], so it survived in the void; this saved him from re-cultivating and condensing it again.

The entire process took them three days.

”It took so much energy,” commented Elder Dao with bright eyes. ”Iʼve healed some of your hidden injuries in the process.”

”Thank you,” nodded Wang Wei. As a body refiner, itʼs normal to have hidden injuries in the process of destroying and reconstructing the flesh.

”You should show your face to disciples outside,” said Origin One. ”There are already rumors youʼre dead: you need to stabilize the situation before people start panicking.”

Too many people placed their hopes and dreams on Wang Weiʼs rise. So, even rumors of his death made many people nervous and panicked.

So, he nodded before asking, ”I forgot to hide my aura during the tribulation.”

Wang Wei wanted to hide his strength to prevent trouble. Di Tian should figure out his breakthrough after learning of his tribulation. However, he was more worried that the other factions would become desperate once they learned about his Emperorʼs Strength.

”Donʼt worry. We hid your aura and placed a ban on the sect. No one can leave or enter until the final battle,” replied Sword One, who also understood the horror of people who were desperate.

”Thatʼs good.” Wang Wei was too occupied with the tribulation, so he did not have time to be so careful.

”Alright, Iʼll go appease the sect.”

He left the sect to prepare a small event with the disciples to show them he was healthy and alive.
