Chapter 562 Ultimate Glorious Age
Chapter 562 Ultimate Glorious Age
Wang Wei opened his eyes and exhaled deeply. After two days, he was now back in his prime state. He finally checked the communication talisman Wang Ju sent him, making him frown slightly.
'Did he detect something?' thought Wang Wei. 'It seems I may be unable to get my hands on Di Jia.' After deciding to try a wait-and-see approach, he left his seclusion to stretch his body.
He had many things to do and would return to a retreat soon. But he decided to check on the sect's affairs first. After all, he was still the sect master. As such, he had a conversation with the Elders to ensure there was no problem and the sect's plan to develop in the Lower Realm had no issues.
Once he finished, he flew back to his mountain to continue his cultivation. As a sect master, he could use Tianwei Peak as it had the most Spiritual Qi and was the best environment for cultivating in the sect. However, Wang Wei loved the comfort of his home, so he rarely used it. He even planned to move the spiritual energy from Tianwei Peak to his Fate Transcending Mountain.
After arriving home, he saw Wang Ju waiting for him.
"What's the matter?"
"We have a few things that require your attention."
Wang Wei motioned for her to head inside before hearing her. A protected environment was better for these kinds of conversations. Wang Ju then handed him a list with a bunch of names.
"These names are the Sleepers who infiltrated the army of the other Heaven Chosens. 300 years ago, after you entered the trial, Fang Lijuan, Chen Chen, Sun Jiaolong, and Huang Yuan began to slowly and methodically eradicate them from their groups.
"Although they did it slowly and intermittently, they started doing it simultaneously."
"So, they wanted to hide their trials? Making it seems that eradication was natural?"
"Exactly," replied Wang Ju. "The key point is Mo Xingyun. The Mo Family did a sweep of the Sleepers and eliminated most of them in their clans. In this clean-up, even our Fate Shadow Guards did not survive."
"I see. Mo Xingyun most likely has a method to detect the agents and sold it to these Heaven Chosens. There is even a high possibility that they are in an alliance."
"Yes, that's the conclusion we came to. Many Heaven Chosens have been removing the Sleepers from their armies–including from the Sea Race."
"Them? Did they finally begin to move?"
"Yes. The Heaven Chosen representing the Sea Race in this generation's Heaven Will Battle is Yi Liancheng: an Abyssal Squid."
"What's that?" asked Wang Wei, as he had never heard of such a species.
"That's what he calls himself. However, he is probably from the Deep Squid Race but had some mutation."
"You don't sound too sure?"
"The Deep Squid race supports Yi Liancheng, but their relationship seems odd. Moreover, Yi Liancheng is very secretive. So far, all we know is that he beat all the Heaven Chosen of the Sea Race, had a confrontation with Sun Jiaolong, and almost killed the latter.
Wang Wei nodded as he did not care much about Sun Jiaolong. He allowed the other to escape after taking the Human Destiny Sword because he knew the Great Wu Crown Prince had a high affinity with Destiny Dao. And letting him live might help him gather the Luck Condensing Treasure of the other races.
"What happened to Xiao Songxi?"
"He lost to Yi Liancheng. However, he is now in the process of taking the Patriarch position from his half-brother."
Wang Wei smacked his lips as he could guess what was going on. Xiao Songxi's father had another child that was pure Baishe. Now, these two brothers were fighting for control over the clan.
"There is something else you should know," said Wang Ju.
"What is it?"
"Our spy has heard a rumor that the Baishe clan has a 5-star Star Sage sealed, and Xiao Songxi wants to become the patriarch to get access to it."
"So, he wants to ask the Star Sage how to prove the Dao in this generation? Even how to become an Eternal Emperor?" muttered Wang Wei to himself. "How credible is that rumor?"
"It's not very credible. If the Baishe clan had a Star Sage of that level, they would have used it long ago."
"Unless they find a way to increase the bloodline of a lesser Star Sage," commented Wang Wei.
"The Star Sage bloodline is one of the few very restrictive bloodlines. There has never been a precedent of one person going from 1 star to 2 stars, let alone achieve the highest 5 stars level."
"Usually, that would be the case. But this is a Glorious Age, unlike anything that has ever been seen. Anything is possible."
Wang Wei was not just saying these words to justify his wild guess; he was speaking based on a recent observation from the trial–there were too many high-level Heaven Chosens.
All the top individuals who participated in the trial have the talent and potential to break the barrier between Mortal and Immortals. It could be for only a brief moment through secret techniques with a terrible price or even using some treasures or unique methods. Nevertheless, they had the potential.
And that potential will also transfer in the form of becoming Eternal Emperors. Wang Wei would not be surprised if all these people became Eternal Emperors in their respective Heaven Will World.
All this information indicated that a [Glorious Age] was occurring throughout the entire Endless Void. This conclusion might sound absurd, but Wang Wei had other evidence to support his conjecture: the Absolute Chaos Physique.
Why did nine of them appear in one generation?
The first Heavenly Physique was precious not only for his power but because it allowed individuals to wield Outlaws and Supreme Outlaw Daos without consequences.
Consequently, Heavenly Dao will not grant this physique lightly. So, it is normal for hundreds of generations to pass by without the first physique showing up.
The only exception is when some Heaven Will World began a Glorious Age by sacrificing the Heaven Will of one generation to benefit the next one. And even then, the physique might not show up then.
Yet, nine of them appeared in one generation. No matter how anyone analyzed the situation, this is a satistical anomaly. And since nothing ever occurred for no reason, there must be an explanation for the anomaly.
Wang Wei has a theory that involves the Myriad Emperor World, him, and Di Tian.
He believed these worlds' Heavenly Dao sensed a shift in the Endless Void coming from the Myriad Emperor World, and they wanted to maintain balance.
If Wang Wei proves the Dao, he will bring significant changes to the Endless Void. However, not every world wants to change, nor do they want someone from another world to make that change.
Furthermore, the changes he will bring will grant him tremendous power; to be precise, unchecked power. Heavenly Dao is all about balance and order, and they do not like people who can easily overthrow the entire table and break the balance.
If Di Tian proves the Dao, from the conversation Wang Wei had with his dead wife, he could tell the latter was on the verge of madness. With the power he will acquire after becoming an Eternal Emperor, who could stop him if he went on a rampage in the Endless Void?
So, Wang Wei believed that these Heavenly Daos across different World Communities had created a Glorious Age in the entire Endless Void to eventually balanced the two of them and manage the influence the Myriad Emperor World would have during their resurgence.
He believed this is why so many peak Heaven Chosen suddenly popped out of nowhere, making it seem as if achieving Immortal Venerable strength was common.
Wang Wei even suspected the real mastermind behind this move of balance was the True Heavenly Dao from the upper dimension.
Although he did not have any concrete proof for his theory, nor could he verify the truth through divination, he felt he was correct. As such, he will proceed with his plans bearing this information in mind.
"Keep a watch on Xiao Songxi and the Baishe Clan. Even if the rumors might be unsubstantiated, it's best to be on the lookout, just in case."
"As you wish."
"Is there anything else?"
"Nothing that you need to concern with immediately," replied Wang Ju, who suddenly remembered something.
"I don't know if this news is important, but a Wang Clan member from the Ancient Clans traveled with Huo Fenghuang."
"Is that so? I'll pay attention," replied Wang Wei. "How about my parents? How is their Mortal Dust proceeding?"
"So far, there is no trouble."
During Mortal Dust, Wang Tian and Yu Yan sealed their memories. Although they can regain it in an emergency, it would break the tempering process. So, the people of the sect are secretly protecting them.
Suddenly, he thought of something not pleasant. Wang Wei took out his sect master token and ordered a 5-Root Dao Ancestor to protect his parents secretly.
After finishing, he dismissed Wang Ju before using his Divine Sense to check on the Supreme Cottage. His grandfather was on a long retreat to repair his Dao Heart.
Wang Wei designed many scenarios similar to how he did to cultivate his Everchanging Dao Heart; he hoped they would help him repair his Dao Heart, but he did not know if it would be successful in the end.
If his grandfather could not elevate his Dao Heart to a certain level, he would not be able to become Dao Ancestor or Immortal Venerable to enact his plan to defeat Emperor Nine Suns.
After checking on the cottage and noticing the latter was still in retreat, he focused on his own retreat.
