Chapter 422: Deep Inheritance
Once he returned to his youth, Wang Tian did not waste time before bringing his son to another secret realm. The moment Wang Wei appeared inside, he was secretly shocked as he looked into the sky.
Dark thunder flashed in the Heavens and he felt a great deal of dread just by looking at it.
"Divine Punishment Thunder?" He recognized that thunder. What's more, this one seemed to be on an even higher level than the ones he survived. Then, he saw a man more than 2.5 meters tall fly from deep inside the dark lightning.
The man was very muscular; he could be described as a bear's waster and tiger's back. He was wearing martial clothes that were tight-fitting instead of the typical robe.
Although this man did not reveal any aura, the danger he felt from him was even scarier than Elder Dan. Additionally, the moment he saw him, one thought suddenly appeared inside Wang Wei's mind:
'This man can fight a Great Emperor. And maybe even a Second-Class one.'
"I have seen the Ancestor," said Wang Tian, however, before he could bow, an invisible force appeared to prevent him from bowing. However, the same courtesy did not apply to Wang Wei, but he did not mind.
He understood that as the sect master, even with lower cultivation, his father has a certain status that excused him from bowing to these old monsters. However, he–as the Sacred Son–did not have these privileges until he succeeded in that position.
Wang Wucheng nodded his head as his gaze scrutinized Wang Wei.
"Not bad; our Wang family can have a great successor this generation, even better than the last."
"Thank you, Ancestor."
"Kid, if you have something to say, do so. There is no need to be reserved."
"Well, ancestor, are you an Insurgent Heaven Chosen?"
"Oh? Where did you learn this word?"
"I have a very powerful and knowledgeable wife."
"Indeed you do," replied Wang Wucheng, with a deep gaze. "Have you ever thought about the consequences of having such a Dao Companion?"
"What consequences?" asked Wang Wei with a frown.
"Great Emperors are almighty beings, and their very existence carries a Karmic Weight, and not everybody can bear that weight."
Wang Wei frowned not truly grasping what his Ancestor meant.
"For example, a mortal could never bear the bow from a Great Emperor. And that is because the Karmic weight of that bow is enough to instantly kill them. And the same applied to any Mortal Cultivators–including the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
"If they ever received a bow from a Great Emperor without any protection, their luck would instantly ruin and they would eventually die because of misfortune.
"So, do you think you can bear the Karmic Weight of your wife?"
Wang Wei understood the meaning behind Ancestor Wang Wucheng's words. He remembered reading tales about some people who were reincarnated. In all of the stories he read, if the parents of the reincarnated person are mortals, their fate is always either dead or living miserably.
And the reason is that these mortals cannot bear the Karmic Weight of the sons or daughters who were previously powerful cultivators. And these young reincarnators are often called Misfortune Stars.
The same logic can be applied to the relationship between Wang Wei and Wu Hong. As someone related to an Eternal Emperor and maybe even a more powerful entity, he has to bear the Karmic Weight of becoming her Dao Partner.
After thinking about it for a moment, Wang Wei shrugged his shoulder and said: "I'll be fine."
"As long it is your decision and you are willing to bear the consequences."
"I am. But ancestor, you did not answer my question."
"I am indeed an Insurgent Heaven Chosen," replied Wang Wucheng with a great deal of pride on his face; And he has every right to.
Meanwhile, Wang Wei's eyes lit up as he finally figured out something that has puzzled him for some time. The real purpose of the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture] was not to allow Quasi-Emperors to fight Great Emperors, but for Dao Ancestors and Immortal, Venerables to do so.
This was a technique designed to cultivate Insurgent Heaven Chosens, and leave a firm foundation for the sect. Most likely, it is because of it that the Dao Opening Sect survived so many era-changing catastrophes.
Wang Wei raised his head to look at the Divine Punishment Thunder. He guessed that this ancestor was using the thunder to temper his body.
"Kid, although I know you already qualify, I still need to go through the necessary tests as it is the rules."
After saying that, Wang Wucheng handed two stones to Wang Wei. And as soon, as he held them, they changed.
The one in his right hand changed different colors: red, green, yellow, purple, and gold. Each of the colors had different shades: light, moderate, and extreme.
After the stone changed to gold, it begin to shake before exploding.
"Dao Heart and Will also surpassed the 8 requirements. Well, as a Young Emperor, this should be expected. Now, there is only the last requirement: I will check your body."
Wang Wei then felt a gentle power checking his Divine Sea, Divine Altar, Primordial Spirit, and the cracks on his cells.
"Dao Foundation is indeed broken."
"The last requirement is for the foundation to be broken?"
"That's the rule established by the Founding Ancestors." After saying this, Wang Wei received a book from the muscular man. As soon as he read the title, his mouth could not help twitch.
And after flipping through the entire thing, a sense of being speechless could not help appearing on his face.
"Is there a problem?"
Wang Wei did not answer him but just hand him over another book from his space ring. After Wang Wucheng read it, he laughed out, his powerful voice echoing throughout the entire secret realm. If all the people present did not have a powerful cultivation level, their souls would have been shocked to death.
"Interesting kid. It seems that our Dao Opening Sect has the chance to get out of the recent decline in this generation."
The book that Wang Wei received was a way to create The Three Flowers on the Crown and the Five Qi Towards the Origin. Obviously, his ancestor, the Qiyuan Emperor did come up with a way to create these things for the Origin System but did not publicize but kept them for his sect.
After all, even the most generous Emperor is a person with seven emotions and six desires. It is normal for the Qiyuan Emperor to leave some advantages for his sect.
As for the reason he did not allow all disciples of the Dao Opening Sect to cultivate this secret method?
The best answer Wang Wei can come up with was that it had to do with luck. If all the disciples cultivated this technique, it would only be a matter of time before the other sects discovered this fact. Then, they could use this opportunity to ruin the reputation of the Qiyuan Emperor, saying that he was selfish, and in turn, affect the overall Qi Luck of the Dao Opening Sect.
However, if only a few talented people cultivate it, then everything could be explained by talent instead of a secret technique. Truth be told, Wang Wei guessed that most of the Emperor Lineages with many Great Emperors had similar methods–especially the ones with Eternal Emperors.
The only thing puzzling him was that he did not understand why the requirement was for a person's foundation to be broken. Maybe, this has something to do with tempering the Dao Heart and so on.
"You can cultivate this method here, and when you're condensing your flowers, I will mobilize a small power of the Grand Dao Source to strengthen your foundation and remove the hidden dangers inside your body."
Wang Wei nodded his head as he begin to read the method deeply. Compare to the method he create, this one was truly refined. For example, he now knew that there were different levels of flowers condensed.
The flowers were divided into ranks 1 to 12, with one being the best and 12 being the worse. And according to this book, if a person managed to condense three flowers rank 3, their foundation will be strong enough to become Second-Class Emperor.
And that is guaranteed. Meaning that even if their comprehension was terrible, they would become a Second-Class Great Emperor after absorbing Heaven's Will.
This is the benefit of having a truly perfect foundation. From this book, Wang Wei knew that only after condensing the Three Flowers would the Origin Path Scripture be truly perfect.
He also understood the reason that all the Emperors of the sect were all First Class, with three of them having comprehended 20% of their Grand Dao Source.
This secret technique played a great role.
While Wang Wei was cultivating, Wang Wucheng looked at Wang Tian, "So, have you decided to temper your body?"
Wang Tian shook his head in denial. What he pursued is the purest form of swordsmanship. And to him, that is the ultimate form of attack. To a swordsman, his greatest defense is his offense, so tempering his body goes against his Path.
To Wang Tian, any swordsman that goes out of his way to temper his body beyond the norms has no faith in their offense. Because of this, he only condensed a rank 5 Essence Flower, but he did not regret this. Anyway, the other two were all ranked 1.
