The [Rainbow Escape Art] is an Emperor Tier technique created by the Rainbow Emperor, the second Great Emperor of the Yan Family after the Sword Empress.
The Rainbow Emperor cultivated the Dao of Speed, and she was considered one of the fastest Emperors that have ever existed in the Myriad Emperor World.
She ranked along with the Void Emperor, the Light Emperor, the Mind-Speed Emperor, and the Time-Skipping Emperor.
Wang Wei once wondered who would win if these giants ever raced. Little did he know that this thing actually happened out there in the world.
These Great Emperors from different Eras met and had a Heaven Defying Race. As a result, the Mind-Speed Emperor was the winner, while the Rainbow Emperor came in second.
As for the reason she was so fast, it was because her [Rainbow Escape Art] followed the idea that if you are fast enough, you can escape time, space, life and death. At the highest level of this technique, a cultivator can reach a state of constant and eternal movement. Then, the person standing in front of you is the real one, but a shadow created by the after image of his movement; In order word, the person will become untouchable.
Wang Wei wanted to cultivate this technique in order to make up for the deficiency in his speed, and prepared for his battle in a year against Han Li.
While Wang Wei was in retreat again, the #1 Contemporary Sacred Son, Han Li, received an invitation to a duel from Wang Wei. He was surprised at first, then excited.
He thought that he would have to wait a while in order to have a chance to avenge himself, but now an opportunity has presented itself to him. However, after calming down his excitement, Han Li realized that this challenge was in fact a grave insult to him.
His opponent was more than two great realms lower than him, but dared to challenge him. Does he think that he is like those other people that the Heaven Chosens of other factions used as a stepping stone?
As a person with the #12 Heavenly Thunder Physique, he is still considered a Heaven Chosen that can still fight in the Heaven Will Battle for this generation, and yet he was treated as a stepping stone by someone else.
As such, Han Li wanted to refuse the fight, however, he kept remembering what his master told him that the sect did to him. He thought of all the pain he suffered, so he gritted his teeth and accepted the challenge.
Furthermore, Han Li knew that if he refused, then news of this would soon spread throughout the entire sect.
And Han Li was right. News of the Battle of the Sacred Son was soon spread throughout all the disciples and Elders of the sect. Many people could not wait for the year to pass by quickly.
Tianwei Peak, Sect Master Wang Tian also received the news about the battle between these two, she muttered, "Has the time for you to take that step arrive?"
Wang Tian was not worried about his son even a little bit. He knew that Wang Wei never does anything without being sure; that taking risks was not in his son's nature.
This was proven by the fact that he took a year before actually fighting Han Li. According to Wang Tian's understanding of his son, after tempering his bones, there was no way that Han Li was a match for him.
However, he still made sure to make up for his other weaknesses in order to better prepare.
After pondering for a while, Wang Tian suddenly said to the empty hall, "Shadow, go watch Long Bo closely to make sure that he doesn't make any strange action."
There was no sound after Wang Tien spoke out loud, however he knew that the Shadow had heard him and went to execute his order. Meanwhile, he suddenly thought to himself, 'After this battle, it should be time for the Academy to open.'
And just like that, a year passed by.
Wang Wei opened his grey eyes and exhaled lightly, however his breath traveled in the air like a small arrow and broke the wooden floor after landing.
In just one year, Wang Wei has managed to cultivate the [Rainbow Escape Art] to the point of being usable in battle, so he was more than satisfied.
The reason that he sighed was due to the fact that in one year, he only managed to cultivate one more Origin Pattern, which made him having only 2/50 Origin Patterns.
As a matter of fact, Wang Wei knows that one Origin Pattern in one year is a very fast speed, but he could not help complaining because of the vast difference between cultivating in the Divine Altar Realm and the Supernatural Realm.
However, this kind of thing is common knowledge in the cultivating world. The higher the cultivating level, the longer time it takes to cultivate. Hence, the reason for longer life spans.
Cultivators in the Supernatural Realm have at least 10,000 years of life span--which is ten times that of the Divine Altar Realm.
And Wang Wei has more than 30,000 years of life span due to his special physique. This amount of life span is the same as cultivators in the Divine Body Realm.
After exiting his cultivation retreat, Wang Wei only called Wang Ju to discuss recent events. After seeing her, he was quite surprised as her aura was dramatically stronger than before.
"Did you finish digesting the Dao Washing Pill?" he asked.
"Yes, young master. I would like to thank you for the pill. With it, not only has my strength increased, more importantly, my talent has also improved. As such, I will not have any problem keeping up with your pace in the future."
"Well, there is no need to thank me as you deserve it for all the years you have spent taking care of me," nodded Wang Wei.
Then, the two discussed the events that happened in the past year. Unfortunately, there was not much news except for the movement of a few Heaven Chosens.
Afterwards, Wang Wei then asked Wang Ju to tell Han Li that their battle will take place a few days later. So, this news once again quickly spread throughout the entire sect.
A few days later, Han Li was standing in an arena waiting for Wang Wei. This arena was especially designed for the sect's competition. As such, there were many powerful formations engraved on it to prevent the destructive power of the participants from affecting the audience.
Furthermore, this arena could withstand the strength of the Peak of the Void Shattered Realm. Meaning, this arena could even withstand the power of Law.
While Han Li was waiting, all the disciples were waiting with excitement while talking with each other. They were debating who would be the winner of this battle.
The majority of people believed that Wang Wei would win without any doubt. This can't be helped. His halo of genius was too strong. Adding to that the terrible Heavenly Tribulation that he survived a year ago, many people were rooting for him.
As for the other disciples, they believed that Han Li would be the winner. Not because he was better than Wang Wei, it was because he had a higher cultivation level.
As a matter of fact, the disciples were not the only ones debating the outcome of this battle. Even the sect's Elders and Great Elders were doing the same.
Not many people actually had confidence in Han Li. The majority of them have seen the battle between Ji Song and their young master. The last stroke that he made during that battle was truly amazing.
And that was still when he was in the Divine Altar Realm and he had not temper his bones yet.
However, not all the Elders believed in Wang Wei--especially the ones that have sided with Great Elder Long Bo. They all knew that the current Han Li was not the same as the previous one.
Luckily for everyone present, they did not have to wait long as they soon saw a rainbow rapidly rushing from the Wang Clan Mountain before landing on the arena, showing Wang Wei with his dazzling grey hair and his deep eyes that could see through anyone's fate.
As soon as Wang Wei appeared, the boisterous audiences instantly became quiet, and he became the center of attention.
After landing, Wang Wei observed his opponent. Han Li was dressed in a yellow ancient robe. He had fair skin and he could be considered handsome. Lightning could be seen constantly flashing in his eyes--which also displayed a terrible hatred.
After finishing checking his opponent, Wang Wei then said with a calm face:
"It is about time this farce was over. After I beat you down, I can finally suppress these annoying flies that dare to question my rise to the top."
Han Li's face became ugly after hearing this, and it was not just him. The majority of the sectarian faction that supported Long Bo had an ugly look on their faces.
As for Han Li, he snorted coldly after hearing this, "Do you think it is acceptable what you did to me? A member of the 'same' sect?"
Wang Wei was calmed after hearing this, "If that is your tactic, then you are an even bigger disappointment than I thought. Look out at Ji Song, he suffered the same fate as you, but he did not complain one bit.
"Instead, he challenged me in order to avenge himself and proved himself. I respect him for that as he is a person who knows that the Path of Emperor is built on the bones and blood of others, leaving a trail of broken dreams and shattered hope.
"So, let me ask you: Are you a little worm that uses the power of public opinion to avenge himself, or are you going to use your fist to prove yourself like a real warrior?"
Han Li's face became even more ugly after hearing this. He knew that his plan had failed, so took a deep breath before saying, "In that case, let this fight begin."
