After dismissing everybody, Wang Wei did not imdiately leave. He had many things to do, but he needed to do things step by step, So he stayed for a few hours to review the detailed information gathered by the guard during his absence. He knew about the world's current situation through the team's eting, but that was not enough; he needed to understand the nitty gritty.
Wang Wei put away the Information Talisman and frowned. "As long as Supre Unity has any form of autonomy, I can't even deal with these parasites." He had many plans to deal with these people, but as long as that bastard was present, the chances of success were minor.
'My ultimate goal is to remove his ability to make any moves on the board,' Wang Wei thought. He refined the plan he ca up with before contacting a few people. Wang Wei headed to another isolated dinsion, and a few minutes later, the other Sages arrived — except for Pure Fla.
Wang Wei imdiately noticed Feng Heng's arrival. Firstly, he expected the other Buddhist Sages to be with him, but he was alone. Second, his aura was slightly different from before.
"Second level Golden Body?" Wang Wei asked.
"Donor has sharp senses as always," Feng Heng replied.
"But how is that possible? The rewards from the lower dinsions should still take so ti — unless…" Everyone looked at Feng Heng.
"This world still has hope," Feng Heng explained, his face and deanor calm and peaceful. "Heavenly Dao has rewarded this poor monk for benefitting mortals' way of life."
"Really? Good, good, good," Wang Wei said, not hiding his excitent. Although Feng Heng was the only one among them who received rit for the Mortal Civilization, he and the others did not care. Instead, they value that the system is still working, which indicates that Heavenly Dao is still fighting and that their battle is not utterly hopeless.
"This is indeed excellent news," Sage Lin Qi said.
"If you think about it carefully, he might be the only choice to receive the rit," Emperor Kong suddenly said. Wang Wei's eyes lit up after hearing this. Kong was correct. Feng Heng beca a dium for Maitreya to channel her power in the world, so Heavenly Dao took this opportunity to find allies.
"Feng Heng, by any chance, can you contact the Mother Buddha?" Wang Wei asked.
"Donor, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."
Wang Wei sighed: "It's fine." He did not have much expectations. "Alright, let's get to business. I call you here to ask for help. Normally, I don't ask without reciprocation, but you guys understand the current situation." Since the lock, many things that were once extrely valuable are no longer sought after. Even rit can no longer be acquired.
People could no longer cultivate, aning these resources were less tempting to anyone. As for hoarding these resources for the future, no one knows whether the world has a future; even if it does, no one can predict how terrible it will be.
"There is no need to ntion such a thing during dire tis," Sage Lin Qi said. He did not want anything except to expand his work, and the best way to proceed with it was for the world to return to normal and to have soone of sufficient power and background helping. Wang Wei was from the Dao Opening Sect, and if the latter was willing to give him so help, he could do so much more. If Sage Lin Qi could think in a more utilitarian manner, having Wang Wei's goodwill and even owning him a favor was way more valuable than any reward.
Feng Heng and Emperor Kong nodded. However, their mindsets were completely different. The forr honestly did not care about rewards. After accomplishing his grand rit in the lower dinsion, Feng Heng's state of mind sublimated; he no longer cared about the quarrels and disputes of the cultivation world. His only desire is to understand the Dharma and seek enlightennt. Everything he does is follow his heart and achieve that goal.
anwhile, Emperor Kong was the one who wanted a reward the most. After all, Feng Heng was from Buddhism, aning he was rich, and Sage Lin Qi was a man of [Pure Heart], making his thinking less utilitarian. However, he had an academy to look after and people to feed. Of course, he was wise and understood the need to build good relations and connections. However, if it were up to him, he would love to have a reward and make connections.
"I'll keep today's events in my heart," Wang Wei said. He waved his hand to hand them a talisman. "Consider this as a gift." Everyone checked the content and was surprised by this Heaven Deception Array — this was indeed a gift, especially in these tis of perils.
'I understand his charm,' Emperor Kong thought. He understood what made Wang Wei so attractive. The latter is indeed cunning and will play with you as a toy if it's in his interest, but if you are his allies and are willing to work for him, he will not shy away from giving you benefits. Emperor Kong thought of all the things he could do with this array. There were many, but the most important one was to hide. Since his betrayal, the parasites have been searching for him relentlessly. Countless branches have been attacked and destroyed. Now, he finally had a way to hide without worry perfectly.
'No, this is an opportunity,' Emperor Kong thought. Once he can hide and project himself, he can send his people to recruit talented mortals worldwide. Although these people could not cultivate, he could seal them and wait for a later date. 'The current situation was perfect to recruit talents.'
Sage Lin Qi calmly accepted this gift. With this array, he can protect many more mortals, and his people can better act behind the scenes. The greatest trouble his association often faced was how the rulers of certain territories refused to help or even hinder his work. This array can help him deal with this problem.
Feng Heng squinted his eyes. He knew this formation from the lower dinsion and even paid the Heavenly Court to install one for him in the Buddhist Sect. Unfortunately, he had to sign a contract and agreed never to study it.
'Such formation should be valuable to the Mother Buddha,' he thought. According to his analysis, Buddhism or Taoism did not have such a formation, and there can only be one explanation: the two suns balanced each other to prevent the others from getting it. But now, he had an opportunity to share it with his side. 'Let's try after returning.' Feng Heng learned the formation and put it away. He glanced at Wang Wei and suddenly had a realization. The latter probably did this purposely to acquire Buddhism's support in his battle to remove the lock.
"Read It? Good. I need you to summon your [Sage Authority] once again to engrave this array into ."
This was Wang Wei's objective — to hide himself better. After his retreat, he realized he might have to re-enter the paranoid state he was in during his Outlaw Trial. Supre Unity was too powerful, and Wang Wei worried that his every move was under the latter's watch. So, he needed a way to move without being detected.
"No problem," Emperor Kong responded. The process was smooth and easy. Although Wang Wei said he wanted them to engrave it on his body, this was not exactly correct since the thing was already engraved. He has been using it since he ascended to prevent people from finding him. The Sage's role was only to use their authority to bless the already existing formation and raise it to another level.
Everybody proceeded relatively smoothly, with the only problem being the resistance of mobilizing the Sage's Authority. Luckily, Heavenly Dao seems to have regained so strength, so the resistance was not as strong as before.
'It should have no problem, right?' Wang Wei thought. His future wife raised the Array to the peak of the Paragon Tier. With this boost and Heavenly Dao's protection, hiding from Supre Unity should not be an issue — especially if he still has to focus on his battle with Maitreya.
Wang Wei sighed, not satisfied with the uncertainty. He no longer hesitated and secretly returned to the Origin Seal Continent to see his ancestor.
"You're back, "Yan Hai said. "Did sothing happen?"
Wang Wei did not imdiately answer. Instead, he spread his Heaven Deception Array throughout the room before putting thousands of sealing arrays.
"Is this necessary?" Yan Hai asked.
"Maybe, maybe not, but we can never be too careful."
She shook her head and did not say anything else. She knew smart people were too easily beco paranoid. He has seen Brother Qiyuan in this state countless tis, many of which have saved their lives.
"Why are you here?" she asked.
"Ancestor, do you need to know where the seal for the Void Illusion World is?"
"Hmm? Why do you need to know this?"
"Because it may be the solution to my current problem."
