Chapter 275: Scriptures (Finale)
The Divide Body Realm is divided into three stages: Human, Earth, and Heaven. The purpose of the entire realm was to refine a body that could withstand the Power of Law: a Divine Body.
As such, in the Human Stage, cultivators have to use their Good Fortune Flame to temper or recreate their bodies. They have to refine their skins, muscles, bones, organs, and blood.
In general, they have to go through a similar process Wang Wei went through while cultivating the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture].
As for Wang Wei, since the Ancient Desolate Emperor used this realm as a blueprint for his Scripture, he did not have to go through the Human Stage. So, after instilling his goals into the Flame, he used it to quickly go through most of the Human stage, making sure that he did not make some mistake or overlook some tiny part of his body during tempering.
And he did find one: his brain. Due to how fragile an organ it was, there was no specific way to refine or temper it in the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture], making it one of the weak spots of his body.
Knowing this, he immediately used the Good Fortune Flame to temper his brain. Many people squint their eyes after seeing this. All these Heaven Chosen first refined their skins after the breakthrough, but he chose his brain.
However, after thinking about it for a moment, they realized it made sense that cultivating in the Divine Body Realm would be different for him because of his strong fleshly body.
After Wang Wei finished the gruesome process of burning his brain off, he was satisfied with the result. From now on, he would not immediately die if someone blew his head off; they would have to do it at least 5 times before he would die. And after he finishes tempering his blood, he will reach the realm of Single Drop Rebirth, meaning that as long as a single drop of his blood remains, he can instantly regenerate his entire body.
Following this, the aura of Divine Body Realm appeared on him. Opening his eyes, he clenched his fist, feeling both the increase of power and lifespan.
A typical Divine Body Realm cultivator has 30,000 years of lifespan. However, due to his Heavenly Physique, Wang Wei already had such a level of lifespan. With this new breakthrough, he can now live 90,000 years--which is the normal lifespan of a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator. And that’s only the lifespan granted to him by the Origin Path System. His fleshly body dramatically increased his lifespan.
Wang Wei raised his head to the sky, staring at the Thunder Tribulation. Once the first thunder fell, he opened his mouth and swallowed it; that goes for all the others as well until the tribulation ended.
Slowly turning around, Wang Wei did not look at these Heaven Chosens, but in the distance. His eyes penetrated the Secret Realm and countless layers of space until he reached a mortal establishment in the Domains of the Academy.
There he saw an old man inside a room, sitting on a chair. The old man’s hair was all grey and he had wrinkles all over his face. On top of the old man’s head, Wang Wei saw a grey line, and he knew them as Fate Line. He could see them for quite some time but did not know how to use them.
Now he knew.
By focusing on the Fate Line, he saw the Fate of this old man from his birth to the present. He saw when he was born when he first cry, the first time he farmed the land with his parents, his first love, his first kids, and grandkids.
In an instant, he watched the life of this old man from birth to adulthood, then to old age. And that was not the limit.
Wang Wei then started to see the fate of this old man’s ancestors. He watched the lives of his great-great-great-great grandfather. To be precise, he saw the lives of all the old man’s families up to 15 generations in the past.
After that, Wang Wei watched the future of this old man. He knew that two years from now while trying to pick up something from the floor, the old man would trip and fall, never getting back up again. His family will bury him, and continue their lives as farmers. Until 3 generations later, the entire village will be destroyed in a catastrophe, thus ending this old man’s bloodline.
Wang Wei sighed at how insignificant the life of mortals is. Their fate has long been written in stone, and not only do they not know about it, but they would be helpless even if they knew: they are nothing but puppets controlled to either make the flow of the universe function normally or serve the purpose of more powerful beings.
Once finished observing that mortal, Wang Wei finally looked at these Heaven Chosens. His cold and indifferent grey eyes penetrated deep into their souls as they felt like they were naked and being observed--like someone was strangling them with strings.
Immediately, they notice what was going. These Heaven Chosen realized that Wang Wei was reading their Fate Line, thus watching all their secrets from birth.
With an ugly look on their faces, they resisted. The previous vision of these people manifested in front of them, trying to block this weird attack. Unfortunately, it was useless--at least to most.
"Hmm," muttered Wang Wei as he looked at Lin Fan.
’This guy can block my Fate Reading Technique? Could it be because his Chaos Dao is on the same level as my Fate Dao? Unfortunately, he is still too weak.’
Immediately, he increased the pressure and power on Lin Fan. Thus, Wang Wei was able to read his Fate. He saw how he grew up in the Lower Realm, how he was maltreated by his clan because his Absolute Chaos Physique could not cultivate their low-level technique, how he met his Dao Protector and master, his rise in the clan and throughout the entire world.
All these Heaven Chosens had all their secrets leaked to Wang Wei. Except for their Emperor Scriptures that were protected by a ban powerful enough to even guard against Fate, Wang Wei learned all their secrets up to the present.
Knowing the dire situation that they were in, they all attacked at the same time. However, Wang Wei ignored these people as his Innate Shield appeared around him, blocking all their attacks.
During the entire process, Wang Wei thought to himself.
’Although I can read the past and present of these people, I cannot read their futures. Cultivating is a process of detachment, so their fates are not set in stone like a written book. Their futures are full of endless possibilities based on the decisions that they make in the present.
’However, all cultivators--including me--have what is known as [Nexus of Fate], which is an event in their lives that will happen no matter what. Unfortunately, my [Transcending Fate Sutra] cannot yet see Fate Nexuses. Anyway, it’s only a matter of time.’
After that, Wang Wei looked in the direction of the Academy; to be precise, the booth of the Di Family. Just like he did before, he read Di Tian’s Fate Line. However, the latter waved his hand, and a black and white appeared. The wheel exuded the power of Reincarnation and easily blocked Wang Wei’s ability.
’I knew that it would not be so easy. This guy is in another league of his own. Hehe, only defeating such a powerful enemy would make the Heaven Will more interesting, otherwise, things would be too easy.’
After that, Wang Wei looked at all these people attacking him at the same time, yet still unable to break his defense. His vision then landed on Mo Xingyun.
’My theory about her was correct, but I’m starting to wonder who was that person that made a deal with her as he was obviously not Feng Heng. I need to meet Feng Heng personally to read his Fate Line. Moreover, I’m also slightly interested in that Gluttony Swallowing Scripture.’
After that, he looked at Sun Jiaolong, making the latter’s heart skip a beat.
’For my plans to work, the Human Destiny Sword would be of great help. However, now is not the time to get it.’
Wang Wei then clenched his fist, took a punching pause before throwing a punch. A powerful shockwave came from him, sending all these Heaven Chosens flying away. He then activated his token to leave the Secret realm.
Meanwhile, all of the people sent flying away had only one thought: "How could he be so powerful?"
And that also included Lin Fan who was the only one still standing despite still being thrown away. As he looked at the disappearing back of Wang Wei, he clenched his teeth with unwillingness.
Despite all his effort, he was still outclassed. However, Lin Fan quickly calmed down; he knew that he still had plenty of room to grow. His Choas Dao can also contain the Dao of Fate.
So, a flash of determination flashed across his eyes.
