Chapter 68: Start Cultivating
In the Enlightening Emperor Academy, Headmaster Bai Han looked at the Heavenly Physique List in the sky, then muttered, "Turning the Acquired into Innate. This young master of the Dao Opening Sect is not a simple role."
Then, he began to worry whether the Dao Opening Sect had developed the secret to create or manufacture Heavenly Physique. His worry further increased when a few days later, the list changed again with Li Jun having the #20 Battle Maniac Physique.
Although when it came to Li Jun, there was no auspicious sign nor did the Heavenly Physique List manifested in the sky, the people paying attention still noticed the quiet change that took place in the list.
It was only after more than a month that there was no change in the list that they sighed in relief. In fact, their worries were unnecessary. How could Heavenly Dao leave such a loophole for the Dao Opening Sect to exploit?
As such, after Li Jun was acknowledged and got his physique, the upper echelons of the sect received a notification from Heavenly Dao that they have one last chance to change the list again. After that, no matter what method they use, it will not work.
Maybe the sect can use this method to cultivate Acquired Physique, but these people will not receive gifts from Heaven. Of course that is assuming that the sect could find people that can survive the process.
Let’s just say that Li Jun was lucky to receive the bloodline from the Immortal Venerable, otherwise, not mentioning acquiring a Heavenly Physique, he might not even survive with his soul and body intact.
Meanwhile, in the Dao Opening Sect, more than a month had passed since Wang Wei got his Heavenly Physique. During this time, he was under observation to see whether there was anything wrong with him. After all, one can never be too careful.
Right now, Wang Wei was sitting cross-leg on his newly built cultivation room inside the Wang Family Manor. He was holding a book named the [Origin Path Scripture].
In the first few pages of this book, there was a journal briefly describing the creator of this book and the significance it holds; and it was indeed a book with extraordinary origins.
The first person to crown himself Great Emperor after the Void Era and started the Ancient Emperor Era was known as Emperor Qiyuan, and he was the ancestor of the Wang Family and the creator of the Dao Opening Sect.
According to the account of this book, Wang Wei’s ancestor who was previously called Wang Qishan was one of the many lost cultivators in that period of time.
After the Void Era, there was actually no cultivation technique or method. As such, every cultivator was in a race to create a new one, just like the race for the title of [Ancestor]--however this race happened way before the time of Emperor Haiyuan.
Wang Qishan lived in that era and he was also one of the Heaven Chosen trying to rebuild the cultivation civilization, and he indeed succeeded.
Wang Qishan was a man of great luck. In one his adventures in a secret realm, he acquired a treasure that allowed him to freely shuttle between worlds--whether it was the Lower Plane of the Myriad Emperor World or the worlds in other communities.
While traveling in these worlds, Wang Qishan learned all kinds of cultivation methods. Whether it was Martial Arts, Qi Cultivation, Battle Qi, Soul Cultivation, or Profound Energy.
After learning of these methods, Wang Qishan could have just brought them back to the Myriad Emperor World and spread them or even just one of them. However, he was an ambitious man and decided to create his own system by combining all the other systems.
With the help of his two sworn brother and sister, Li Ming and Yan Ai, he used Martial Arts and Qi Cultivation as the basics, then added a few other systems to create the [Origin Path Scripture].
Then, Wang Qishan spread his new origin system throughout the world, amassing a large amount of merits from Heaven. With an overwhelming prestige, he proved the Dao and proclaimed himself Emperor Qiyuan.
It is the reason that the sect he created is called "Dao Opening Sect", because Emperor Qiyuan opened the Dao for all beings in the world. It is also the reason that the Dao Opening Sect can be considered the most powerful sect in the world.
Not only can they be considered one of the oldest sects in existence, they have also gathered tremendous amounts of Luck because of their ancestors. As long as cultivators continue to use this system, the Luck of the sect will not be damaged.
Wang Wei sighed at how lucky he was to be born in this powerful sect. As far as he is concerned, in his past life, he did not save the country. So how could he be so lucky?
Wang Wei shook his head to remove these distracting thoughts. He then continued to learn from the [Origin Path Scripture]. In the past months, his father had explained a lot of the things he did not understand, so right now he was just doing revision to ensure safety.
He closed the book after finishing, then he began to do a bunch of strange movements that looked like yoga while reciting a bunch of mantras.
After repeating this action three times, Wang Wei suddenly felt the spiritual qi in the air enter his body and blend in with his blood, creating a form of energy. In the cultivator world, this is referred to as Blood Qi and it is the sign of entering the Bodyrefining Realm 1st Layer.
The blood qi felt like a part of Wang Wei’s body and he could control it like it was just another limb attached to his body.
He gathered the blood qi in his body and threw a punch in the air. He could hear the sound of the air whistling during his punch. He frowned as he estimated that his punch had about 4000 jin (2000kg) of strength.
This number is actually twice that of the typical 2000 jin of regular cultivators, and this should be the result of his newly acquired physique.
This number is quite good, especially compared to Han Li’s 2700 jin, however, compared with Ji Song’s more than 3000 jin of strength without cultivating blood qi, Wang Wei’s number cannot be said to be Heaven Defying. As such, he was not really satisfied.
However, he soon stopped thinking about such meaningless things. He knew that the Heavy Axe Physique would give Ji Song an advantage in the Body Refining Realm, however, the same cannot be said for the Divine Sea Realm. In this realm, cultivator’s strength is not determined by the number of jin.
Furthermore, he still has the opportunity to make up the gap and exceed it as long as he successfully cultivates the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture].
Soon, more than six months passed. Wang Wei had already reached the Bodyrefining Realm 9th Layer. At this stage, he had about 36,000 jin (18,000kg) of strength.
This was in fact very fast as even Heaven Chosen of the caliber of Wang Wei will take at least 2-3 years to reach the 12th-Layer of the Body Refining Realm. And some will take more than five years in order to set a solid foundation for the future.
Of course, the reason he was so fast is because of all the medicinal residue left in his body throughout all the years. All the milk he drank from the Saint Level Six-colored cow ever since he was a baby was for a reason.
The reason that he stopped cultivating was because he realized that he needed a real challenge to temper himself. Half a month ago, he easily swept all the Bodyrefining cultivators in the sect in a competition.
It was quite boring due to how easy it was, however, he needed to do so to start establishing prestige in the sect for his future position as Sacred Son.
But now, he needed a real challenge, and he knew where he could get one. That was the Battle Tower. This was a trial created by the Battle Maniac Emperor to train the fighting ability of the whole sect.
In there, he left all his insights of the Dao of Fighting from the Body Refining Realm all the way to the Great Emperor Realm.
Technically speaking, Wang Wei could use this trial even if he becomes an Emperor. However, all Great Emperors are arrogant people who have cultivated their own Dao. As such, they would not be interested in someone else’s Dao unless used as a reference.
Most likely, the Battle Maniac Emperor left this level of the trial in order to find a way to fight with another Great Emperor, or for other people to become enlighten from his Dao.
Wang Wei walked to the edge of the Wang Clan Mountain and jumped over. He free-felled until he reached a certain level, then used his blood qi to activate a talisman that allowed him to slow down his fall.
Wang We landed on one of the giant chains that bind the floating mountain together, then headed in the direction of the Battle Tower. Whenever someone passed by, they would salute him as they recognized his identity.
He would always respond back with a smile on his face. With his new grey hair and eyes, he became even more handsome. As such, his popularity with the female disciples in the sect has increased dramatically. Adding to that his polite and easy going nature, he is the definition of a walking heart throb.
"Too bad Wang Ju is not here, otherwise she could just fly me there," muttered Wang Wei after finishing talking to a female disciple. "Well, since she entered seclusion to break through the Divine Body Realm, I guess I’m on my own for a while."
Without noticing the passage of time, Wang Wei soon arrived at his destination. He looked at the more than 90 zhang tower with excitement. He can finally have a good fight.
