'Is it already ti?' Wang Wei thought as he slowly opened his eyes from his quick ditation. He stood up and stretched his body for a few seconds before leaving the room to see Red Mask waiting for him.
"Ready?" he asked.
"Everything is settled."
"Good," Wang Wei walked away, and Red Mask turned into a shadow and blended with Wang Wei's. Wang Qi was already waiting outside. "I'll leave everything else to you."
"Patriarch, you know I'm reliable." During the remaining rest ti, Wang Wei took the opportunity to officially beco the Wang Clan's sect master. He did everything quietly and covertly, and only a few people knew of this sudden change in power. Wang Wei has already started executing his low-key motto, so he will only et all the upper echelons of the Wang Clan after becoming a Paragon. For now, the position will increase his chances of passing the Imasurable Tribulation.
"I know," Wang Wei nodded before flying out of his mountain range, where ten people were awaiting his presence. He did not interfere with these clans' selection process, so this was the first ti he t these people.
'Only two of them can be described as exceptional by my standards,' Wang Wei thought. All these people were peak Empyreans, and so were double refiners with body refining achievents. However, only two of them had sothing unique about them.
The first one is the heir of the Su Clan, Su Dandan. Besides the Wang Clan and the sectarian faction, who are hotspots of all kinds of talents, all the other clans have their own niche or expertise. The Su Clan is a family of body refiners, and Su Dandan inherited her clan's legacy.
She was slightly muscular, distinguishing her aesthetics from the general norm for won in the cultivation world. However, her muscular fra brought a different kind of beauty—the kind that appreciated the female form in all its glory, especially since she wore blue tight-fitting martial clothes. Her hair was shoulder length, and her body naturally released heat and excessive yang energy.
'Such a terrifying blood energy,' Wang Wei thought. Wang Wei found her cultivation technique fascinating. The simplest way to explain it was that she infinitely stacked her Blood Qi; a better way to describe it is that she used a cultivation technique that trained Blood Qi with only 10 levels and cultivated it to level 10 billion and above. It was simple, crude, but highly effective.
'In so ways, her cultivation approach is the purest form of body refining,' Wang Wei comnted. No Body Refiners can escape tempering their Blood Qi in their cultivation's early or middle journey. However, Blood Qi will eventually be changed to sothing else or evolve to a higher power, but it is still the essence.
Wang Wei shifted his gaze to the second person with potential, Xie Xiaoli. The Xie family's expertise is assassination and espionage powered by Shadow Dao. Xie Xiaoli did not forget that as he forged his own path. The unique thing about him is that he used his Grandmist to create a large world with only shadow energy and creatures. He then connected that world to the Source Qi Space, allowing him an infinite amount of shadow energy to boost his techniques and divine abilities.
'He has basically abandoned using his Grandmist World to cultivate any subordinates as all the Shadow Lifes exist only to absorb or sacrifice when he needs a boost in battle,' Wang Wei analyzed. He must admit that this Xie Xiaoli was dedicated to the Way of Assassin and the Way of Shadow. He glanced at the others but did not catch anything unexpected.
"I know your elders have already warned you, but I will do it again to demonstrate the importance of this warning. Be careful with the Paragon Tribulation because if you die, no Peak Paragon will waste their ti rebuilding your [Existence]."
Dying in the tribulation is an event close to achieving true death. The only way to revive soone who failed their Paragon Tribulation is for a Peak Paragon to spend at least a million Yuan Epochs rebuilding their [Existence]. No Paragon wants to waste their ti, especially when people who have been revived will have a hundred tis harder passing the tribulation a second ti. So, unless they are family or loved, few people will put the effort into reviving those who fail in their tribulation.
"It seems you understand. Good, in that case, let's go." Wang Wei flew into the trial's designated mountain. He passed through a dinsional barrier that isolated the ample internal space of this mountain. The group found themselves in a green plain with countless magical circles floating above their heads. Everyone had already arrived, and their presence garnered much attention.
Wang Wei looked around, and most of the people he expected to co were here, with a few surprises. Chu Luo was not there, but Shi Qian ca. Furthermore, he saw the Golden Sword Emperor amongst the Sword Path League people. He also saw the current ruler of the Southern Chu Dynasty, also known as the Third Prince. The latter wanted to see Wang Wei, but he declined.
"Since everyone is here, we can now begin," said a deep, coarse voice. "Rember, do not resist what is going to happen." The magic circles in the air activated, followed by a dragon roar. All the participants' Qi Luck manifested, including Wang Wei, who had hidden its unique qualities.
The Qi Luck Dragons rushed into the sky, forming a beautiful sight of thousands of multicolored dragons swimming between Heaven and Earth. Then, the dragons released chains that embedded themselves into the void. The dragon roared as they pulled sothing from the unknown.
Everyone felt a slight tremor but saw nothing change in the sky until a bright silver gate hung above everybody's head. "The operation has been successful," the deep voice stated. "Be mindful that the surrounding area of the River of Ti is turbulent, so it may be best to protect your Great Emperors in case sothing goes wrong."
The Great Emperors were imdiately embarrassed, but it couldn't help that they were at the bottom of this team. However, no one flew to the gate despite the voice's words. Instead, countless eyes secretly looked at the Dao Opening Sect's team. Wang Wei understood these people's ntality, so he did not comnt and just flew with his team toward the gate.
He sensed a subtle void fluctuation before the team found themselves in this infinite white space with nothing in sight — including a single speck of matter. Wang Wei and everyone else was confused before a spirit about an arm's length in height materialized before everyone.
"Heherm, can everyone hear ?" the spirit said, his voice audible to all the participants. "I am Sir Lu, the spirit controlling this trial. Due to unexpected events, your world forcefully summoned us, making everything chaotic." He let his words simr for a few seconds.
"We were in the process of landing in a chosen world, and we will continue doing so, aning you have to wait before the other participants arrive to begin the Mortalhood Trial." After saying these words, Sir Lu did not wait for anyone and disappeared from this place.
'I knew it,' Wang Wei thought. 'However, this will complicate things.' The presence of other Chaos Worlds will have countless implications, many of which were the last thing he wanted. 'Let's take precautions.'
"All eyes on ," Wang Wei said before raising his hand to separate them into an isolated dinsion away from any prying eyes. "The presence of other Chaos Worlds can be devastating to the Eternal Ascension World, so we must take so precautions."
Wang Wei did not let them process his words as he started his action. He used his Ti Dao to summon a projection of the River of Ti. Then, from the river, he condensed a yellow rope of ti energy, and with a thought, a lock attached itself. He waved his hand, and the rope flew before every participant, followed by a lock. Many people wanted to resist this strange spell or technique, but as soon as they tried sothing, they felt a chill down their spine as an intense killing intent locked them.
"This is not enough," Wang Wei muttered before summoning the River of Fate and intertwining strings to the rope. The next step was to invoke a Paragon Artifact to bless the lock on the rope.
"This rope symbolizes our world's information and history — your information and history. Those of you who are aware of what's going on should understand what length these foreign Chaos Worlds will go to get news on the current situation of the Eternal Ascension World."
The faces of the people who haven't figured out what Wang Wei ant changed drastically; they understand what kind of danger they may face in this trial. The only people who remained clueless were the loose cultivators who did not know anything outside of their ho world.
"If you have a Paragon Artifact, bless the lock to ensure our information is secure," Wang Wei ordered. A few people hesitated, but the ones who understood the bigger picture did not hesitate.
