Chapter 189: The Ceremony
After making plans for his foreseeable future, Wang Wei began to review the technique that he got from Han Li’s memories. According to its creator, the technique was rudely and simply called [Divine Punishment Thunder Refining].
After taking a brief moment to review this secret technique, Wang Wei had a frown on his face. The reason for that was due to the fact this method requires a Proven Dao Artifact in order to cultivate.
And Wang Wei will not have one of these things until he breaks through the Divine Body Realm. Thinking about this, Wang Wei felt like it might have been better to wait to use Heavenly Tribulation to reach the realm of Great Perfection for his muscle.
After spending a few seconds secretly complaining, Wang Wei regained his bearing. He knew that it was better to use Divine Punishment Thunder than any other form of Heavenly Tribulations.
However, he has to modify this secret technique to make sure that a Proven Dao Artifact is no longer necessary when cultivating.
After taking a few days in cultivating retreat, Wang Wei went out in order to prepare for his ceremony.
As part of the ceremony, Wang Wei was granted a very fancy dress. It was a purple ancient garment with gold lines carved on them. He had a very fancy crown-like headband in his top-knot that matched his outfit.
This outfit made his already very prominent noble temperament even more noticeable. It seemed that the color purple was made for him.
Of course Wang Wei was satisfied with his new clothes not because the color was pleasing to the eye, but because of the protection that these clothes provided him.
Although his clothes looked like any normal garment, Wang Wei knew that they were in fact full of arrays or formation. These arrays consist of ones that made the clothes perfectly fit him, able to adjust the temperature to his desire, and even able to change color.
More importantly, this new garment was full of protective arrays that can protect his life in the case of danger. Of course he needs to be able to activate them in time.
One thing that Wang Wei liked the most about his new clothes was the fact that it had the ability to regrow by itself after being damaged. Wang Wei does not know how many times his clothes have been destroyed in the midst of battle, so he truly appreciated this setting.
After dressing himself properly, a ceremony took place in front of all the disciples and Elders of the sect. As a matter of fact, these kinds of ceremonies where a powerful sect chooses an heir is usually a grand and lavish event.
The Dao Opening Sect would then invite many powerful sects and factions all over the world to witness such an occasion. This was a way to show their wealth, strength, and status. And also a way to show their Heaven Chosen to the world and warn other people not to mess with him or her.
However, in this Glorious Age, all the factions are being very cautious. As such, not factions--including the Dao Opening Sect--actually sent invitations to other people.
Even the Eternal Dream Sect--a very close ally of the Dao Opening Sect--was not invited to attend the ceremony.
Of course, Wang Wei’s image and status will be reported to all the sects of the world. After all, the Dao Opening Sect still needs to warn other people not to mess with their future Sect Master.
However, this warning might be useless in this Glorious Age. Many people can feel that a tremendous amount of change will occur after this generation Heaven Will Battle.
There is a chance that the New Emperor Era might end and a New Era might be started by this generation’s Great Emperor. As such, they will do anything possible for their future Heaven Chosen--even if they have to attract the ire of the most powerful sect of the world.
During the ceremony, Wang Wei received a token that represented his status as the Sacred Son. Then, his father explained to him all the rights and powers he had as a Sacred Son.
For example, he can take a large amount of spiritual milk in the Calcify Milk Cave, he can enter many of the sect’s Secret Realm without any need for Contribution Points.
He has access to a mountain of his own. And this mountain is only second to the Tianwei Peak(Sect Master’s Mountain) in terms of level of spiritual energy.
In general, many of the rights that the Sacred Son should have were already available to Wang Wei. However, this was not publicly announced to the sect before. Now, things just became official.
Of course there are some powers that he did not have before that he could use now. For example, given the right reasons, he can mobilize any of the Saint Realm cultivators of the sect to take action for him.
As for cultivators below the Saint Realm, Wang Wei did not need a reason or excuse to mobilize them. As long as he ordered, all the Void Shattered Realm cultivators and below can be mobilized by him as his strength.
After the ceremony, Wang Wei went to visit his mountain. During this process, a little accident occurred. His mother started crying that he was actually abandoning her, that he did not want her anymore.
If Wang Wei did not promise her to visit often and have family dinner with her, he feared that she would cry for days at the foot of his new mountain. Of course later he learned from his father that the crying was just an act by his mother to guilt tripped him into all these promises.
Well, he has to admit that his mother was a better actress than anyone from his past life because even with his very keen observant ability, he did not discover that she was acting.
After arriving at his mountain, the first thing Wang Wei did was to rename the mountain from [Absolute Sword Mountain] to [Dominating Fate Mountain].
Wang Wei took a deep breath as he absorbed the vast amount of spiritual energy in the surrounding area. This single breath of him was worth more than a few hundred Origin Sources.
All around, he could see demonic beasts like cranes flying and chirping the air. The grass grew luscious and beautiful. There was a white ancient manor made of wood in the middle of the mountain. Countless beautiful servants stood in rows in the front of the manor. The entire place was like an abode of Immortal taking a leisure vacation in the mortal world.
As soon as Wang Wei arrived in front of the manor, Wang Ju--who was in the front of all the other servants--suddenly bowed, "Welcome the Sacred Son."
Then, all the other servants followed her actions. The words "Welcome the Sacred Son’’ echoed throughout this mountain, and it was in perfect harmony with the cranes flying in the sky.
Wang Wei smiled after seeing this, "You may all rise."
Then he entered the manor followed by Wang Ju who started to explain the entire layout of the Manor to him. This included all the normal rooms, the medical garden, the Alchemy and Refining Room, and the formations that surrounded not only the manor, but the entire mountain.
The entire process took a few hours. If the two of them did not have the ability to fly, this process could have taken days given how vast this Manor actually was. Wang Wei guessed that a space folding formation was placed inside the manor due to the fact that the inside appeared too big compared to the outside.
The next day after the ceremony, both Yan Liling and Li Jun came to see him bringing gifts. Then, the three of them had a brief chat.
"So, how did the task I gave you go?" asked Wang Wei directly.
"It was fine. Besides the #2 Contemporary Sacred Son who was a little challenging, I easily beat or suppressed all the other ones," replied Li Jun with a big smile on his face.
"That’s good."
"Big brother, you should have been there when I beat the Fifth Rank Contemporary Sacred Son. I made sure to hit this guy in his face until even his mother could not recognize him. Hey, who made him more handsome than me?"
Wang Wei’s mouth started to twitch after hearing this. He remembered a long time ago that this particular Contemporary Sacred Son was voted the most handsome person of the sect.
After so many years, he had forgotten about such a thing, but it seemed that the same thing could not be said for Li Jun.
After chatting with these two for a while, Wang Wei went back to cultivate. There was still some time before the opening of the Emperor Enlightening Academy.
He has a feeling that things are about to become more intense from now on as all the Heaven Chosens are starting to make their debuts on the World Stage.
