Chapter 1736: Thirteen Transcendent Foundation (II) |
Wang Wei’s soul has already been optimized, so with that previous experience, he dramatically accelerated the speed of this minor optimization. Once the Spirit Flower absorbed half of the materials, the processes ended, and Wang Wei’s base strength improved.
"First Class Emperor strength," Wang Wei muttered as he clenched his right fist. For a moment, Wang Wei was lost in thought. How much pain and effort would he have saved if he had this level of strength before the Heaven Will Battle? His second fight with Di Tian was instrumental in shaping him into the person he is today; it was a necessary tempering that molded him into the best version of himself. However, if Wang Wei had the choice, he probably would have chosen bulldozing over Di Tian and everybody else in that last battle.
’There is no pill for regrets, so what’s the point of thinking all of this?’ Wang Wei thought while shaking his head. There was no point in wasting time on such matters, so he focused on something he truly cares for: his Spirit Flower Ability. At first, Wang Wei expected a new ability or a drastic change to his Soul Network, but that’s not what happened.
This unique ability, which has accompanied him for most of his life, has indeed improved. The scope of the Soul Network has drastically increased, covering half of the Chaos Universe. Wang Wei believes that by the time he becomes a Primordial Saint, his Soul Network will cover the entire Chaos Universe and maybe other timelines in the Infinite Trichiliocosm.
’At least now, I don’t have to worry too much about Primordial Saints discovering the network,’ Wang Wei sighed. Another update is the ability’s concealment. Previously, Wang Wei had Red Mask spread the soul network to other Chaos Worlds; he specifically asked her to build methods to prevent Saints from detecting it. Now, Wang Wei probably doesn’t need these methods; no, he might be able to use them to hide from even the best Primordial Saints.
Wang Wei looked outside his seclusion. "The battle is about to start?" A few hundred yuan epochs have passed, and it was time for another round of attacks. However, since Wang Wei’s presence was not required, he continued his retreat. The final Qi Seed had not yet been condensed, and he did not want to use a secret technique to halt its progress and be in constant pain, so he continued.
At the Quasi-Emperor Realm, Wang Wei’s Qi — the Origin Source — had already fused with this Dharma Body into an Emperor or Dao Body. However, that didn’t mean the Qi Seed had nothing to optimize. The human body is full of all kinds of Qi: Five Element Qi from the organs, Qi and Blood from the heart, Yin-Yang Qi to keep everything in balance, and many more. Wu Hong’s technique accounted for all these subtle energies essential to the body’s and spirit’s function and optimized them using the Qi Seed.
The three flowers above Wang Wei’s head suddenly released a rainbow each. They then turned into gilded lights that entered Wang Wei’s body. He immediately felt a sublimation unlike anything he had ever experienced. No, he had felt similar sublimation when he condensed his [Perfect Foundation]
Wang Wei used his Dream Battle Technique to condense an Eternal Tier as an opponent. With his [Force Control Skill], it shouldn’t take long to completely control his strength and prepare for the final step. Meanwhile, he also checked the evolution of his Qi Flower Ability.
’I can use it to track down Saint Tier Qis?’ Wang Wei thought, a large grin hanging on the corner of his mouth. If his theory about the rarity of resources in the upcoming era is true, such an ability can be called divine assistance. Sadly, his joy did not last long when he realized how long it would take to track down one Saint Qi.
’At this rate, I might as well rely on my luck,’ Wang Wei complained. Well, it was better than nothing. There is no urgency for Saint Tier resources, given that the Merit and Exchange List is available, and Wang Wei was confident he could further improve these abilities after sanctification. So, after controlling his strength, he continued his retreat.
The last step of Foundation Re-establishment is the most challenging aspect. The previous step forced Wang Wei’s body to a state before the [Ultimate Sublimation] of becoming an Immortal. Then he was able to make up for something he had not had the opportunity to do. However, a cultivator’s [Dao Foundation] is a culmination of many steps or achievements, all intrinsically intertwined.
Previously, Wang Wei had only the Ten Supremacy Foundation before adding the Perfection Foundation. Now, for the last step of this re-establishment, he must ensure that his Thirteen Transcendent Foundation worked well with his Perfection Foundation, and all the other achievements. He must ensure they work together for a better future — for a firmer foundation when he sanctifies.
Many people fail at this juncture, so Wang Wei took his time. He slowly infused his previous strength into his body. By taking it slow and essentially re-cultivating the Three Immortal Realm, Wang Wei slowly perfected his foundation and elevated it to a higher level.
Boom!
The sound of an explosion, followed by a mighty ocean rushing spread through Wang Wei’s mind the moment he achieved SS-Class Primal Strength. The characteristic being written on his [Existence] finished, and he experienced a minor sublimation. Wang Wei slowly stood, feeling a strange sensation.
All the power of his flesh, soul, mind, spirit, life, and Dao were perfectly intertwined as if they were one. He pointed his finger to cast a six-tier Grand Construct skill, but felt no pressure whatsoever.
"It’s not just my soul that bears the burden of Grand Construct Skills, but my body as well," Wang Wei muttered. He instantly understood the difference between S-Class and SS-Class Primals. The former has only their souls optimized, but the latter has their flesh optimized as well. Additionally, the flesh and spirit are in perfect sync, turning into a situation in which one plus one is greater than two.
"Harmony," Wang Wei read the new characteristic in his [Existence] with shining eyes. This new characteristic was perfect for him. One of Wang Wei’s worries has always been the disconnect between his Flesh Cultivation and his Dao Cultivation. The Power of Nothingness and the Power of Fate do not have much in common, and for most of his cultivation journey, Wang Wei had no issue treating them independently.
However, Sanctification is a process of combining every aspect of a cultivator: soul, flesh, spirit, Dao, Dao Will, Dao Heart, willpower, and more. With this [Harmony Characteristic], Wang Wei will have less trouble combining everything — especially the power of his flesh and his Dao.
’My soul and flesh have been optimized, so for the third and final Transcendent Foundation, I need to optimize my Dao,’ Wang Wei analyzed. He sat on the cultivation cushion, thinking about his third foundation.
’The essence of my Fate Dominating Dao is Absolute Control and Freedom — two contradictory concepts,’ Wang Wei analyzed. ’I can take inspiration from the second foundation by condensing two seeds: a Fate and Freedom Seed. Well, let’s not use the word "seed," since it’s a little ominous. Let’s use Dao Fruits." He had suffered enough because of his Fate Seed Status, so he chose another word.
’I will need things to nourish these Dao Fruits for them to complete and serve as a transcendent foundation,’ Wang Wei thought. ’For the Fate Dao Fruit, there is an easy path: I can create an artificial River of Fate. It’s been a while since I’ve created my version of Old Man Tianji Cause and Effect Feedback Technique, and it hasn’t been used much."
Wang Wei still remembered that day when Old Man Tianji broke through the Paragon Realm from the reward for participating in the death of one of the Seven Moons. He had worked with his wife to develop their version of that technique, and over the years, Wang Wei has participated in many events with widespread impact. If he uses that technique, he should be able to gather a significant amount of energy.
’I can use that energy to condense the artificial River of Fate before using it to nourish my Fate Dao Fruit,’ Wang Wei thought with shining eyes. As the commander of this expedition, someone who created the overall plan and was responsible for killing a top-grade Primordial Saint, Wang Wei could fathom the amount of reserve energy he could gather if he cast the Cause and Effect Feedback Technique.
’That’s settled, but what about the Freedom Fruit — how do I nourish it?’
