'Is it Di Tian?' was Wang Wei's first thought. He knew the latter had the sect's Lord's Shadow technique and should have cultivated a powerful Shadow on par with Wang Ju. However, he quickly denied this possibility since Wu Hong sealed him too early. The techniques have specific requirents, and he could not have t them when he was sealed.
Despite eliminating this possibility, Wang Wei realized it was about ti for Di Tian to be released. He has to participate in the Cleanup to acquire a token and fight in the final battle.
From now on, he can no longer be at ease when doing things since he has soone who can match in power and use experiences to compensate for the tactics departnt.
"I'll go see her."
"Do you want to go with you?"
"It's fine. Focus on cultivating."
Wang Wei teleported to the small world where Wang Ju was recuperating. When he saw her, he squinted. A part of her body was disappearing while the other half tried to prevent this from happening. She was too focused on saving her life that she could not respond to his presence. Luckily, he had access to the formations and did not have to use force.
'Soone or sothing has erased her ti,' analyzed Wang Wei. He could tell soone hit her with an attack that erased part of her past. And if Wang Ju did not have access to so of his Ti Laws, she would have ceased to exist by now.
"No, not erase but ate." Wang Wei ca closer to analyze the situation. If Wang Ju's ti could be represented by a line similar to the Fate Line, the attack took a bit out of her tiline. The attack's purpose could only erase certain events in her life, or it could wipe her out of existence.
Wang Wei raised his hand to manifest his Ti Law, trying to fix the gap in Wang Ju's tiline and save her. He failed. He tried again after borrowing the power of his incarnations. No response.
Wang Wei instantly deployed his Domain to surround her and boost his strength. This attempt was also of no use. He then accessed the River of Ti, which should contain records of Wang Ju's tiline. He used the records to recreate her tiline and fix the gap.
'What level of Ti Dao is this?' His attempt at even using the River of Ti failed; this is not sothing even he can do.
'Fate surpasses ti, so let's try that.' He connected to the River of Fate and found Wang Ju's Fate Line. Using the record of her life in the Fate Line, he fixed the part that was eating. There was great resistance, but he succeeded in the end.
Wang Ju stopped disappearing from reality and opened her eyes.
"Sect Master! Thank you for saving ." This experience was horrifying. Having hundreds of years of her life vanished from her mories, having to question her sanity on whether these events occurred before slowly watching her dissipate from the world.
"What happened? Who did this?"
"The upper-dinsion people," she replied, making Wang Wei frown.
"Although you can only use 70% of my main body's power, only Immortal Venerable and above could injure you. And there is that strange Ti Technique."
"It was a trap," explained Wang Ju. "I was investigating so suspicious people when I discovered the possible existence of another alliance against you. My investigation led to a strange Heaven Chosen who seems to use insects. However, it was a trap.
"When I further investigated, they were prepared. They knew about the Lord Shadow Technique and had a Light-based Formation that could affect my Shadow Status and weaken my access to your strength."
Many thoughts flashed in Wang Wei's mind after hearing this. But he let continue without saying a word.
"Luckily, I've acquired so of your intuition and felt danger. Before they completely deploy the array, I use the talisman you gave to create a hole and flee. Unfortunately, soone hit with a strange Ti Technique."
"Was it a person who attacked you or an item?"
"I'm sorry, but I can't rember. Everything proceeded too quickly, and I did not have ti to detect the surroundings."
"It's fine," Wang Wei replied. "What's your analysis on this event?"
"These people knew the Lord Shadow Technique quite well, most likely from the upper-dinsion Dao Opening Sect. They ca prepared with the knowledge, readied to deal with you through eliminating ."
"You are probably correct." Wang Wei thought deeper about the situation.
'Ti Eater is involved.' Wang Ju's attack suits perfectly for the latter's na. Furthermore, he is one of the Paragons who did not participate in the Ultimate Taboo and knew and interacted with his Ancestors.
There is a high chance that he knew the Shadow Ruler, interacted with him, and even competed with the latter.
"You need to be more careful from now on."
"I will." Wang Ju also realized she was too intoxicated with her newfound power and was slightly careless.
"I have to go through Mortal Dust. When I'm done, I will refine a talisman for you to access all my powers." Wang Wei was slightly annoyed as he kept discovering the "flaws" of the unorthodox way of the Nine Extremity Dao Foundation.
"Thank you, sect master. But do you need the Fate Shadow Guards to protect you secretly?" Mortal Dust is a mont of weakness for many cultivators since they usually seal their mories and strength. Although they can instantly regain it when attacked, it is still a mont of vulnerability that can be exploited.
"No, Shadow One is in charge of protecting ."
"I see." Wang Ju was slightly disappointed but felt relieved since her young master's safety was what truly mattered.
'I wonder if I can beco Shadow One instead of Shadow Three?' She quickly removed this intrusive thought from her mind since she knew such a request would cause a seniority issue that could lead to real problems.
"Do you rember what the runes of the formation looked like?" asked Wang Wei, not knowing her inner turmoil about being called Shadow Three in the future despite being the most powerful Shadow.
"I do rember so of them." She did not see the entire thing, but she saw a good portion of it after he saw the light emanating from the runes.
"Write them down and have the sect analyze them. Since you said it was Light-based, they can consult my mother."
"As you wish."
"Do you know where Yu Zhou is?" Wang Wei decided to eliminate him even if there was no evidence to prove he was innocent. Anyway, since he is a Heaven Chosen, he is his enemy, and if he were a spy from the upper dinsion, he would have eliminated an unstable factor of the world.
And he could still kill a few Heaven Chosens without affecting his Son of Era Title.
Wang Ju did not imdiately explain but checked the Fate Shadow's Headquarters for information.
"He disappeared after the trap. We currently do not have his location."
"He's not the in the Soul Race's Small World?"
"No."
That was more suspicious.
"Forget it. He has to show up for the Cleanup."
Wang Wei ordered her to keep up her work before going to say his goodbyes. Then, he headed to a mortal world for his Mortal Dust.
Primordial Chaos, outside the Eternal Ascension World:
Seven people fought an enormous creature with dark red skin and two horizontal black horns that almost t before his forehead. Its body was muscular, displaying its developed muscle. It has leather pants and boots on, and these items shone with magical light, indicating their value.
Primordial Laws flowed out of his body as he fought all sevens. The battle lasted a few days, with at least six of the others slightly injured. But the creature was perfectly intact–even his skin was not broken.
The creature looked at one of the seven and then at the Eternal Ascension before leaving. He treated Primordial Chaos as its ho as it navigated its endlessness like a pool in his backyard.
"That's the seventh attack in the past hundred years," comnted Undead Phoenix. "More should be coming." They could tell these attacks were nothing but testing the situation.
"We need to do sothing," added Earth Emperor. The two suns seed occupied and told them to deal with the situation.
"Do what? This should just be the beginning," added Blood Dragon.
"Damn Qiyuan," snarked Five Feather Phoenix. The current situation is because of the All-Seeing Temple's predictions. Many people in the Chaos Universe believe the Eternal Ascension World will be responsible for the upcoming chaos and want to either deal with them or enter to prepare.
"There is no point in complaining. We need solutions," reiterated Earth Emperor. "What about the previous recruitnt plan? As long as so potential Paragons side with us, we can increase our power."
"Most of them do not want to associate with us," replied Blood Dragon. He tried to entice Chen Tong and a few other people in Limbo. But they all looked at him in disdain.
"I still do not agree with this thod," countered Five Feather Phoenix. "We do not need to share our power and resources."
"I don't believe I'm going to say this, but I agree with her," added Undead Phoenix.
"Then, what do we do once the situation is beyond our control?" asked Twin Flower.
"Don't we have the suns? They can protect the Eternal Ascension World with their power."
