Chapter 459: Another Method
Wang Wei flew to the South-Eastern part of the Eastern Continent to a place known as the Dao Exchange Domain. The entire domain was a massive city.
He knew of this city as it was commonly referred to as the City of Wealth by most cultivators because only money mattered in that place.
After arriving, he did not immediately go to his destination. Instead, he took a tour and enjoyed himself. There are many different Are in this city: The Residence Area where poor cultivators lived. The Elite Area where the rich could live.
There was the Commercial District which is the largest area in this city. Numerous loose cultivators gathered to exchange and sell resources. Additionally, many sects and forces—mostly Chamber of Commerces–have a store in that district to sell items.
The Chamber of Commerce Association once tried to control the entire market in the Commercial District. However, the creator and true leader of Golden Dawn City–the Loose Cultivator Alliance–stroke them down and almost prevented them from ever entering the city.
Wang Wei could not help but think of his information on the alliance. According to his analysis, they have the potential to be the most potent force in the world.
The Treasure Hoarding Emperor created the Loose Cultivator Alliance back near the middle of the Ancient Emperor Era. Her purpose was to create a safe place for all loose cultivators to safely exchange their resources and fight against the monopoly of these sects and families.
The alliance has survived until now, even without the blessing of Qi Luck, like the Dao Opening Sect or the Pill Dao Origin Sect. In terms of the number of Great Emperors, they should have the most.
The Myriad Emperor World underwent numerous calamities which destroyed countless sects, families, and factions, eradicating many Emperors in the process or their legacies.
However, the same cannot apply to Loose Cultivators' Emperors. Most of them have no family or sect they care about; they have no restraint. Ninety percent of them displayed similar behavioral patterns during their rise.
They refused to enter any sects not to be constrained by the rules and regulations. They would prefer to go into dangerous areas to find rare resources instead of acquiring them by becoming a disciple and exchanging them.
Consequently, their way of thinking also influenced their behaviors. During the Incense Era and the Devil Era, many Loose Cultivator Emperors did not help the world fight.
Instead, they would just leave after proving the Dao. Subsequently, most of them did not leave their inheritance to the Loose Cultivator Alliance despite using its service or benefitting from them.
In this Era, the alliance officially had 4 Great Emperors who left a scripture, weapon, and formation for them. And their problem of being too selfish or independent has not changed over time.
Throughout history, a few Alliance Leaders have tried to turn the alliance more similar to a faction than a loose alliance of people, but they have all failed.
Although most Loose Cultivators are people with no talent but are determined to continue walking the path of cultivation, the rest are lawless individuals. And over time, the untalented side will also develop the same mentality as the lawless ones.
Of course, another primary reason for their failures is because all the Emperor Lineages secretly plot against them to hinder their development. They knew that if the alliance succeeded, they would become a truly terrifying force simply because of how many loose cultivators were–especially compared to regular disciples of any factions.
While thinking about all this, Wang Wei headed to the nearest Transmission Array.
'Should I go to the Red Light District or the Gambling Area? I'm a married man so let's go to the Gambling Area.'
So, he played all the gambling games for the next few hours. He took this opportunity to decompress and forget all his worries. At first, his luck was terrible, so he lost a lot of money.
But then he began secretly manipulating probability to his advantage, so he won back his money.
Wang Wei stood in front of a table with five dice in his hand. Many people surrounded him to look at his throw. However, he turned around to see a man with a sophisticated temperament coming straight at him with two bodyguards.
"Sacred Son, it is our greatest pleasure to entertain a guest of your caliber," said the suave young man before cupping his hand and bowed.
"However, it would have been best to notify us of your arrival to ensure that we personally entertain you.'
All the cultivators in the surroundings were a little terrified when they identified the status of the sophisticated young man. However, Wang Wei did not care. Since these people arrived, he knew it was time to get back to business.
Without saying anything, he handed a letter to the young man, whose eyes squinted after seeing the words [Battle Invitation] in the front. So, he bowed once again before leaving. However, his two goons stood next to Wang Wei and even followed him as he left.
Central Area, the Headquarters of the Loose Cultivation Alliance.
Huang Yuan looked at the letter that his closest advisor handed to him.
"Young master, what are you going to do? Do you accept or reject?"
"Do I have a choice?" he replied calmly.
Huang Yuan knew that his current situation in the alliance was not looking too good. He previously defeated all his competitors and passed numerous trials to become the Young Alliance Leader.
However, a few of the Vice-Leaders recently complained that he had not shown other results.
They wanted him to fight and defeat the other Heaven Chosens. Huang Yuan's original plan was to defeat all the top 30 Heaven Chosens from the Academy's Trial, working his way up from the bottom.
However, since the person who killed the first on the list appeared to challenge him, it was a good idea to use him as a stepping stone to strengthen his status.
So, without hesitation, he headed to Coliseum Area, where Loose Cultivators can fight and deal with their grievances. According to the city's laws, fighting is now allowed anywhere else besides that area.
After arriving at the arena where the battle would take place, Huang Yuan saw a young man with gray hair and eyes waiting for him. In the private booth, he could feel the breath of many upper-echelons of the Alliance.
However, there were no spectators for this battle.
Huang Yuan flew to the stage and landed more than 50 meters from his opponent with a serious look on his face. Just based on aura alone, Huang Yuan knew this was the most powerful enemy he had encountered in his long life.
Meanwhile, Wang Wei had a slight frown on his face. When he laid eyes on his opponent, he felt that the Karma Thread he placed on the latter a few hundred years ago was almost gone.
He activated his True Eyes to see things more precisely, and he realized that Huang Yuan's body had a passive aura that was slowly removing the thread. This aura also served as a weaker version of his Karma Unbound Body.
Moreover, his kidneys constantly throbbed after sensing that aura.
'Is this related to Karmic Washing Water?'
He decided to use this battle to read Huang Yuan's Fate Line to learn the truth. Plus, his calculations pointed towards him, so he wanted to know why.
Someone activated the formations to protect the arena, then the battle began.
Wang Wei watched as purple lightning flashed across Huang Yua's body before he punched:
[Firmament Dragon Lightnight]
A massive purple lightning dragon rushed toward Wang Wei to annihilate him, but he just opened his mouth and swallowed it.
'This lightning is a little a weird. However, this Huang Yuan's strength is not bad, already reaching Quasi-Emperor Realm despite still being in the Primordial Spirit Realm.'
Then, Wang Wei saw his opponent frown slightly before a red Thunder Armor appeared around his body and rushed towards him.
Boom!
With one punch, Wang Wei sent him flying away.
'His arms did not break, so his fleshly body should be quite strong. However, what is my calculation referring to? Could it be that innate weapon that I deduce he had?'
Wang Wei squinted his eyes as he decided to be more serious so that Huang Yuan would use that treasure and he could finally know the truth.
Meanwhile, Huang Yuan was shocked at how easily his opponent overpowered him, not to mention that his lightning seemed useless.
He knew this was no ordinary lightning since he had a special physique.
He could rise so quickly and effortlessly in his cultivation journey because of a fortunate encounter he had in the Body Refining Realm.
One day, while in the forest to find some spiritual treasure to make up for his lack of talent, he fell off a cliff and discovered a secret realm.
He found the dead body of a cultivator who claimed he was from another World Community and came here accidentally. He left his inheritance which was #6 Nine Heaven Thunder Physique, with the condition that his successor must swear the most restrained oath to avenge him.
And Huang Yuan did not hesitate to do so before absorbing that cultivator's body along with his physique. And over the years, he tempered his body to an unimaginable level.
So, although he knew that Wang Wei had a powerful fleshly body, he did not think that he would lose to anyone–especially members of the younger generations.
Wang Wei squinted his yes before clenching his fist. He decided to use 10 Dragon Force to crush his opponent instantly. Then, using his absolute speed–thousands of times the speed of light–he instantly appeared in front of Huang Yuan and punched him.
Usually, Wang Wei did not mind fighting for an extended period to learn about his opponent. However, he had already wasted enough time gambling and did not want to continue.
As Huang Yuan watched that fist approach him, only one thing came to his mind:
'I will die, no question ask.'
Then, a book appeared floating on his head before creating a barrier to protect Huang Yuan. Cracks appeared on the barrier before he was sent crashing into the formations that surrounded the arena.
Wang Wei looked at the book and felt the power of Life and Death
'So, that's how it is. Another way to pass the trial is to have a powerful innate treasure carry your Main Dao. However, this is essentially a method of using foreign tools.
'If something were to happen to that aid, my cultivation path would end even if I do not die from the backlash.'
Wang Wei would never use such a method. Not to mention where would he find a fate innate treasure.
'The question is, why is this the case? Does it have to do with Innate Laws?"
