1477 The Second Piece
Wang Wei's Atom Acupoint Technique was successful, but he was not satisfied with the final outco. He noticed a few places in the blood's [Existence] that he could not understand, let alone remove. 'Things never go as planned,' Wang Wei complained before thinking of Plan B.
Nurous magic circles materialized in front of him before entering his body. The best solution to this problem was to sacrifice his body. He will accelerate the effect of the blood from his soul before abandoning his body and recondensing a new one.
Three million years passed outside, but Wang Wei spent thirty million years with this project using the sect's best Ti Acceleration Array. Of these 30 million years, he only spent 2 million years purifying the blood, and the rest was spent placing magic circles on his body to isolate the blood's effect on his soul.
"Now everything is ready," Wang Wei muttered as he walked out of his cultivation room. As soon as he left, two people ca to see him: Wang Qi and Xi Huan.
"Let's start with you," he said, looking at Wang Qi. "Is everything prepared?"
"Yes, the sect has prepared a Grand Source Pool for you to condense a new body."
"Grand Source Pool? I thought they would use so Qi from the Source Qi Space," Wang Wei comnted. Grand Source Pool can only be artificially created by Emperor Path Cultivators by gathering and preserving the power from the Grand Dao Source. It's the purest form of energy/power in the world, but it takes too long to make these pools.
"Only the best for you," Wang Qi replied with a smile.
"Good. What about the Unsoiled Body Pill?"
"It's ready," Wang Qi nodded. "But what do you need that for?" Wang Qi only recently learned this pill was sothing Supre Elders (Peak Paragons) used, so he was intrigued.
"I'm just being cautious," Wang Wei replied. He may not need the pill, but he needed to prepare just in case. "What about you? Anything to report?"
"A few noteworthy things," Xie Huan answered. "Our spy could not get much information from the academy since Kong has kept everything tight. We know that Old Ma has surrendered, and he captured Jimin for a grand plan, but that's all."
"I'm getting intrigued about what he's planning," Wang Wei comnted.
"Isn't it obvious? He's trying to build his academy," Wang Qi comnted.
"That's just surface level," Wang Wei shook his head. "He has sothing planned that will make achieving his goal easier." He did not have enough information to deduce sothing concrete, so Wang Wei was left with simulating thousands of possibilities.
"How did the seminar go?" he asked.
"By all asures, it was a success," Xie Huan answered. "He recruited many loose cultivators, and the rest owed him a karmic debt. The academy's luck thrived afterward."
"Did anyone try to interfere?"
"Yes, there was a small disruption, but Kong showed his might by easily suppressing it," Xie Huan replied.
"Were there people behind the disruptors?"
"Yes, but they left no traces," Xie Huan continued. "The way there was absolutely no trace does indicate that it was likely one of the 13."
"In any other era, they would not allow Kong to so easily spread knowledge that can improve the overall strength of these loose cultivators," Wang Wei comnted before sneezing. "Especially the Limitless Exchange Hall. Kong's stunt has prevented them from exploiting these loose cultivators with that knowledge."
"Isn't Kong worried about offending so many people? A shuffle is coming and the Overlords, especially the weaker ones, are wary of any faction with potential to reach their level," Wang Qi said.
"They will be wary of him whether he likes it or not, so why worry?" Wang Wei chuckled. "On the contrary, now that the Overlords are in a weakened state, it is the perfect ti for him to act with impunity."
"Are you saying he'll do even more?" Wang Qi asked.
"Most definitely," Wang Wei nodded. "He's just waiting for the right ti, which I'm about to give him."
"He's waiting for you to be occupied," Wang Qi said with shining eyes.
"If I guess correctly, his next target should be the weaker academies with little to no affiliations. And if he has the balls, he'll also target the large academies."
"But those are affiliations of the Grand Sect Alliance?" Wang Qi asked.
"It's a calculated move," Wang Wei said. "The Grand Sect Alliance will need to recuperate after the lock. Their Primals will take so ti to return to their peak, ti that Kong will need to beco a Primal."
"That…seems a little too bold," Wang Qi frowned. "Even if he succeeds, he'll only be one Primal against five."
"He alone is enough," Wang Wei replied. "As long as he used the threat of possibly joining another Overlord, especially us, it should be enough to stop the Grand Sect Alliance and buy him enough ti. However, a bolder approach would be for Lin Fan, Xu Shi, and Nine Death to beco Primal around…the sa…ti as him."
Wang Wei's brow furrowed as he caught an inspiration. He rembered the conversation he had with Kong at the Academy. "So, that's what he is planning? That explains why he was so eager to rapidly increase his realm or save these people — he wanted to build montum for his case."
"Have you figured it out?" Wang Qi asked. "Well, what is it?"
Wang Wei did not answer him but looked in the distance instead. "Want to fight with ? Lucky for you, I never planned to continue holding that burden again." Wang Qi wanted an answer but he knew the patriarch long enough to know when he's willing to talk and when he won't. So, he could only sigh to himself.
"Lord, do you need to put more people in Kong's academy?"
"Yes," Wang Wei nodded. He wanted to give Kong the illusion that he knew nothing of his goal and wanted to find out at all costs. "Anything else to report?"
"There have been small-scale confrontations between the demon race and the Innate Demon Gods."
"Already?"
"They've controlled themselves, but it appeared war might imdiately start after the lock."
"Those two factions know destiny has arrived to finally determine victory between them," Wang Wei sighed. "However, it's a stupid move to start fighting before we know what the upcoming catastrophe is." Wang Wei realized he may have to play peace-maker between these two. Although he also has plans to eliminate his competitors, that's only after knowing what the sect will be facing and how to survive.
'Wait, I don't have to play peace-maker since their ancestors will return and should understand the current need for peace,' he realized. Ever since the lock, his mind has been functioning based on taking on all the world's burdens. However, after the lock, there will be plenty of people capable of helping/protecting the world.
"I rember the association destroyed the Southern Chu Dynasty. What happened to the Third Prince?" "He escaped," Xie Huan replied.
"Escaping from Tong Ruobing's hands? Was she sloppy, or is he that capable?" Wang Wei muttered. "Did the Qin Court hide him?"
"Our spy did not send news of any changes in the court," Xie Huan replied truthfully.
"Keep an eye out," Wang Wei ordered. Since they had nothing else to report, Wang Wei dismissed them. A few minutes later, Yu Cong ca to report to him about the Qin Pri Minister. The Qin Court bowed their heads and paid to get their pri minister back. Yu Cong even successfully negotiated three tis the asking price Wang Wei set.
After dealing with these affairs, Wang Wei finally had so free ti and he waved his hand to summon a prisoner: Wrath. After the latter proved the Dao to beco a Paragon, he captured and imprisoned her. Wrath looked at him coldly.
"I'm doing this for your own good," Wang Wei said.
"How is this for my good?"
"Because I know you're still a person who acts emotionally despite your cultivation realm," Wang Wei replied. "Don't tell you didn't plan to rush into that woman's lair and try to rescue these people despite knowing her strength?"
"I'm not weak anymore. At worst, I can escape."
"You've proven my point," Wang Wei sighed.
"I —"
"Alright, I'm in a hurry," Wang Wei said. "Your adopted father should have left a ans of protection for you in case I didn't keep my word to protect you. It's ti to use it."
Wrath stared at him, but Wang Wei did not care. Instead, he handed her a talisman containing his power of nothingness and an information talisman. "I hope we won't need it, but just in case, this talisman contains Plan B in case negotiation fails."
Wrath read the information and her eyes imdiately shone brightly: "When do we start?"
"After I'm done dealing with a pest," Wang Wei replied.
"I'll be waiting."
Wang Wei granted her access to his manor and mountain but she was still not allowed to leave; he still did not trust her. Then, he headed directly to the second piece he needed to remove the lock: Ti Eater.
