718 Verification & Backhand

Wang Wei teleported to the entrance of the Chrono Chaos Realm. He took out his Innate Time Treasure and used his Time Law to protect him. After all these preparations, he entered.

The environment was the same since the last time he visited, full of chaotic time energy. As he previously did, Wang Wei did not enter deep into this realm and stayed in the periphery. He sat cross-legged and set up protection around him before cultivating.

He began to purify the chaotic time energy as 360 Illusiary figures appeared behind him. All of them looked gentle, with golden Buddha Light emanating from them; they were holy and noble.

Time passed, and the three hundred and sixty oneths appeared. Wang Wei ignored the outside as he focused on refining the chaotic time energy. After an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes and exhaled deeply.

"As expected," he muttered. He looked behind him, and there were 365 Future Buddha Self. Furthermore, no matter how much time energy he used, he could not increase more.

‘My application of the Future Buddha Self is too broken, so it's normal for True Heavenly Dao or Grand Dao to nerf it,' he thought since he had long expected this outcome. His other incarnations could not condense Future Buddha Selves and could only use the ones he condensed. 

Furthermore, only one person at a time could use it, meaning if the Luck Incarnation was using it, the Karma Incarnation could not also utilize it. Finally, the other incarnations could not even condense the last five Future Buddha Self. Otherwise, the Space-Time Incarnation could gather more Time Energy and have already succeeded.

"I wonder why 365?" Wang Wei wondered. The number has a few significance. For example, one year is 365 days. On earth, the time planet Earth takes to travel around the sun determines the length of a year. But in the Myriad Emperor World, one year also equals 365 days.

And as for as Wang Wei knows, most other Heaven Wills are the same. So, he concluded the concept 365 days equals one year was one of the fundamental truths of the entire universe. Some strange worlds may deviate from this rule, but most follow it.

Additionally, the number 365 has some other meanings corresponding to stars and astrology, meaning a cycle of renewal, change, and transformation.

"The universe is truly a wonderful thing. Anyway, one year for everybody equals 365 years for me; that's more than enough advantage," Wang Wei reassured himself even though he was still unhappy because of his greed. He understood the implication of having 365 times more time than everybody.

After proving the Dao, cultivation takes Yuan Epochs to have any effects unless cultivators used other methods like faith. However, Wang Wei can cultivate for 365 Yuan Epochs in just 1 Yuan Epoch. That's terrifying and gives him too much advantage.

‘With my plan for the era, I can cultivate until the Empyrean Realm in the shortest time possible. And with the Future Buddha Self, the same will be true for the Paragon Realm,' thought Wang Wei with a frown.

‘The only thing I have to worry about is whether this technique will become useless after proving the Dao.' This is very unlikely since the [Past, Present, Future Budha Scroll] is an Emperor Scripture. However, even if there are complications, Wang Wei can update it to have the same effect.

Wang Wei stood up before stretching his body, creating creaking sounds. He looked in the distance, deep into the core of this Forbidden Land.

‘The next time I come here, I'll finally discover this place's hidden mystery.' Once he deals with the secret of the Chrono Chaos Realm, he will refine it into a Time Secret Realm.

Without wasting time, he exited this place. He had one last thing to do before entering seclusion and devoting himself to increasing his strength to the best of his ability.

Wang Wei opened a portal and instantly traveled to the Western Continent. He appeared on top of a mountain but did not know exactly where he was. But that did not matter. He sent a communication to the void and waited.

A few minutes later, a young man with an indifferent face and black and white hair appeared before him.

"Do you know, you're very annoying," said Di Tian.

"And you're not very sociable," replied Wang Wei with squinted eyes; he could tell the one in front of him was nothing but a clone.

"I don't have time for your nonsense. What do you want?"

"I'm here to make a deal with you."

"This again?" he said with great dissatisfaction on his face.

"No, not the same deal. I just need you to kill two people for me. You can negotiate the price."

Di Tian wanted to immediately deny this request and leave. However, he suddenly had an idea, so he restrained himself.

"Is there someone you can't kill?"

"It's not a matter of strength. My Era Son Title restricts me."

"Are those people the traitors from the upper dimension you were talking about?"

Wang Wei was not surprised Di Tian knew about these people. People can figure out the truth as long they have decent intelligence and the correct information.

"Yes."

"Show me."

Wang Wei displayed the image of two people.

"Do you have proof they are traitors?"

"No, but I do know one of them is definitely the traitor."

Di Tian frowned: killing the Heaven Chosens of this generation has a high chance of getting him on Heavenly Dao's wrong side. However, killing two people should not be a problem if he prepares beforehand. More importantly, the deal has to be worth it for him to take the risk.please visit panda(-)N0ve1.co)m

"I agree with your deal," said Di Tian. "In return, I want your ideas on how to revive my wife."

Wang Wei was not surprised by this request since this was the request with the highest probability base on his analysis of Di Tian. And he would bring it out as a bargaining chip to convince him if he did not bring it up.

"Do you want to revive your wife or the perfect version?"

Boom!

The sky in the surrounding hundred domains turned bright red as Di Tian's clone released a terrifying killing intent. Hundreds of millions of devil cultivators in the Supreme Realm and below suddenly felt a tangible pressure suppressing them on the ground. Only a few elites could remain unaffected.

"Don't play your useless mind game. You know exactly what I mean."

"Alright, alright, calm down," replied Wang Wei nonchalantly before taking out a contract and putting his seal on it. Di Tian read it and added a few more clauses. Wang Wei reviews it before accepting.

"Now, can you speak?"

Although he appeared calm on the surface, Wang Wei could detect his hidden emotional fluctuations.

"There are a few ideas I can think of to revive your wife. To be exact, reviving her is not the main issue–it's dealing with Grand Dao."

Di Tian agreed with that statement. Without Grand Dao's strict rules regarding Perfection Taboo, he could easily revive his wife.

"The first idea is to use a Paradox to hide from Grand Dao."

"Are you talking nonsense?" Di Tian frowned as he felt Wang Wei was not treating this deal seriously.

"I'm not. The Spirit Genesis Sect from the Battle Spirit World achieved a similar method and successfully hid from True Heavenly Dao. You must reach a high enough cultivation realm and apply this technique to Grand Dao."

Di Tian frowned as he pondered for a moment. He quickly realized this Wang Wei planned to use him as a spear against the Spirit Genesis Sect. Although he did not know their conflict, he did not care; he would visit them as long as it could help him. Of course, he will also investigate beforehand.

"This idea is not enough; it takes too much time."

"You better not expect a quick and easy solution," said Wang Wei with a frown. "You're dealing with an entity that is near omnipotent and Omniscient."

"You're right, but I know you have more ideas."

"Fine. The second idea is for Deception Dao to ‘deceive' Grand Dao. However, like the previous method, you'll have to be at high realm to succeed."

Wang Wei did not wait for him to talk and continued talking.

"The third idea is to find a place where Grand Dao's power cannot reach and revive her there."

"The universe is vast, and anything is possible. After all, Grand Dao is only near-omniscient."

Di Tian pondered briefly before secretly shaking his head; this method is suitable except for the limitation he probably could not leave this No Grand Dao Zone. And that's only if he could find it.

"I'm feeling generous, so I will tell you my best idea: merit. As long as you gather enough merit, you can ask Grand Dao to allow your Perfect Wife to exist between Heaven and Earth."

Di Tian's eyes lit up. This was indeed the best idea, and he blamed his stupidity for not thinking about it. Although he could guess the amount of merit required would be mind-numbing, it was better than searching and hoping to find another rare treasure like the Limit Breaker.

Although he was not the kind of genius that could come up with inventions, he could cultivate such genius and found them. Better yet, he could create a large organization to serve the people and gather merit. If desperate, he can even copy the Buddhist Monks and artificially create catastrophe before coming to save people and collect merit.

‘No, isn't there a supreme genius before me with great intelligence and cunningness? With him under control, I'll have plenty of methods of gathering merit.' He took a deep breath to calm down his excitement.

"Give me a month, and it will be done." Di Tian disappeared.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei had his usual cunning smile on his face.

‘Done,' he thought. He planned to hit many birds with one stone. One of these birds was to reduce the Karma he owed to Qiao Ning for the Perfect Foundation Method, and he succeeded.

And the second is to ensure his survival in case he loses the Heaven Will Battle. As long as Di Tian found him helpful, he would restrict himself and not kill him.

Of course, Wang Wei knows this guy is planning to capture him. His only objective is to use Di Tian's hesitation and desire at the last moment to escape. Then, he will have the sect entirely leave and hide from the Myriad Emperor World while Di Tian is undergoing his transformation.

‘Although I have confidence in myself, absolute confidence is only for fools.'

Wang Wei sat cross-legged on the mountain, waiting for his stone to hit another bird.

    So Di Tian has been alive for billions of years, he is/was a Dao overlord which means he's intelligent as he'll, yet through all that time he couldn't even think of using merit to buy his wife from heavenly Dao???

    I mean this author and novel expect us to believe that everyone else besides Wang Wei is an idiot or has a somewhat limited intellect which to me is ridiculous, how could earth with its limited years of civilization compare to the cultivation world with an almost unlimited number of years.

      Di tian was/is not a dao overlord. He was exempt from the trial during the war by the heavenly dao but by creating his wife in perfect mortal, which only grand dao can, he triggered the trial and he failed at that.

        Exemption or not anyone capable of being a Dao lord is a genius, even his act of creating a perfect being proves how smart the guy is, so how could it be that even someone like him couldn't come up with such a simple thing as using merit to buy his wife back?? I mean merit has been an integral part of the novel especially when it comes to emperor lineages, how could he not think of such a simple thing, oh and I know the author kinda stated that di tian himself thought it was stupid that he himself didn't think of this.

        I'm not stupid and neither are you (I hope), I know you also feel the incongruity of it, how wang wei is seemingly smart or creative just because he comes from a civilization like earth, which has only been around for only a few thousands years, are you telling me that even with billions of years the people of the cultivation world are still inferior to us when it comes to intellect or creativity???

          It's actually pretty simple if you think about it.....imo the author is trying to define how different Wang wei's PERSPECTIVE is from the natives.......the emperor lineages(the aristocratic one) know they are using the wrong way but the do not change according the the age thus consided foolish compared to others

          It's not about Wang wei being smart, it's about him being someone like a spectator watching everything from a very opportunistic and mechanical way. Plus there have been many time where author has described how some of the past emperors were such geniuses that even Wang wei considers the a threat

          About Di Tian it's even more so because he is so hellbent on reviving his wife he let's his emotions fluctuate...which considering the amount of experience he has is,you'd think is not something that should happen. so I don't think if he misses somthing which may seem obvious to others

            Can you comprehend a billion years? Not to mention the billions of years the cultivation world has existed? Thats a long time for an almost infinite number of perspectives to be born, and as I said the way of using merits to bargain or get aid from the heavenly dao is not something new or a different perspective its been around for a long time, come on man even your reasoning for justifying wang wei's success being due to his perspective seems lacking when compared to the billions of years di tian has had to come with ways to save his wife. Even a monkey given an infinite amount of time on a type writer will produce great works of literature comparable to the likes of Shakespeare, it's just statistics.

              Ngl your reasoning is correct at some levels but ultimately di tian himself recognises his short sightedness and overlooking somthing so crucial.......and about the time thing as to how a long time can birth evolution we consider miracles but let's be honest in this specific story the world has existed for trillions upon trillions of years but the ew ideas and geniuses who invent these ideas keep on coming. A small err on the part of not just di tian but many charters who have existed for far longer than di tian has been shown and that just shows how nothing is absolute. The statistics you speak of also define the most probable and reasonable but not the correct and exact action.

              I am convinced on the the part that if the author has to make di tian a stronger rival he need to make him on the same intellectual level as Wang wei but it does not change the fact that even some of the paragons or eternal(like the four rats couple chaps before) do not dare to bet on their ability and strength even after existing for epochs. That once again signifies the slightest mistake snowballing into a large one on such power levels. For Di Tian,he became rigid minded on reviving his wife thus narrowing his vision,thus the mistake. I for once cannot criticize him because I am the same. Everyone lears to eat in the first couple of years in their life and we do it three time every single day but I still spill my food sometimes. This may not seem much compared to the billions of years of experience and practice but for human logic this is significant. Some times we focus on things so much we overlook the most obvious. I am pretty sure this follows for every living being (cultivators included based on my reading experience)

                I would agree with you if the timing of the whole thing were to be shorter, but billions for me is too much, and the author making di tian say aloud (in his thoughts) how stupid he is for not thinking of using merits is just poor writing on his part, even he/she is aware of the idiocy of the whole situation.

                Humanity starred farming around 10k years ago, and our first known civilization was birthed around 6k years ago and the flourishing of science started around 500 years ago, if we can achieve what we have with merely this amount of time then surely those of the cultivation world should be able to achieve more unless they are of an inferior intellect, and how could people who comprehend the fundamental building blocks of reality itself be stupid?? I refuse to believe this crap.

                  It is not a question that he has not thought about it but, as he himself has thought, he is not like Wang Wei or other geniuses capable of inventing new things, also, you must take into account that the amount of merits necessary for the Grand Dao allows the existence of Qiao Ning will be extremely absurd, in addition to the fact that many of the methods to gain big amounts of merits could only be executed properly as an emperor, because if he tries to obtain merits by generating catastrophes and then solving them, there will come a point where he will be conspired by Heavenly Dao because of that.

                  He said it himself that he had not thought about?? Even going as far as saying how stupid he was for not thinking of it?? And merits are not "new inventions", and the guy had sleepers everywhere, if he truly wanted to get merits he had all the means to do so, and heavenly Dao conspiring against someone who's out to work for it doesn't make any sense, why would heavenly dao get rid of free labor? Plus the merits involved to get his perfect wife back would be huge so heavenly dao would have a free worker/slave for a long time which would be beneficial to it.

                  All I'm saying is that at some point you start to notice that wang wei is seemingly better than all the cultivators just because he was born on earth and has a better perspective then them all, what this implies is that earthlings are inherently better than cultivators who've lived for billions of years just because we a novel perspective/view on life, earth civilization is a fledgling compared to cultivators civilization and so it makes no logical sense that we can be better than them.
                  I mean just think about his idea for an automatic pill making cauldron this is nothing novel it is simply an addition of concepts that are already existing in the cultivation world so are you telling me that billions of years pass and nobody even thought of combining weapon refining, formations/arrays to make one???? Billions of years and no one thought to do this and actually succeeded, if this is the case then the cultivation world is basically worthless, why be immortal and stupid when you cam just live a few decades with common sense.

                  Bro it's nothing deep , just remember true heavenly Dao basically hates him and tried to kill him , so it's not far fetched he never thought about using merit 🤝
