Chapter 1183 Celebration
1183 Celebration
Wang Wei waited for Wang Qi in his Transcending Fate Mountain, and the latter did not make him wait long. There were plenty of things to do, so Wang Wei did not beat around the bush and immediately started the conversation.
"How was the haul this time around?"
"Excellent, but only because of the vast quantity."
"No Eternals?"
"Only three," Wang Qi replied. For this expedition, he brought the heaven chosens from the remaining 1000 World Communities that once belonged to the Golden God, so the ratio was low.
"What about pseudos?"
"15, which is where most of our outcomes originated from," Wang Qi explained as he handed over the space ring. Wang Wei checked and nodded in satisfaction.
"Any noteworthy news?"
"A few."
"Oh?"
"Firstly, the war has intensified. The rebellions have started to attack the core factions of these parasites. I reckon there won't be any place of peace by the time you ascend."
"The parasites' long absence has made these people bold. However, we'll see who still has a fighting spirit once they are free and start fighting back," Wang Wei commented. "Anything else?"
"Two things. Firstly, the Celestial race might have intervened."
"Them?"
"Yes. There has been a sudden increase in powerful Insurgent Qi on the market for sale. Although only Tier 10, the rebellion has bought many of them, thus increasing their military powers."
"And you think the Celestial race is the one selling them?"
"Those are the rumors."
"I guess I have to talk with Xi Shangyan," Wang Wei muttered. "What's the second thing?"
"I don't know if this news is important, but apparently, the most beautiful woman in the world will celebrate her ascension to the Empyrean Realm. Many people are talking about it, wishing they could attend."
"Xu Junyao?"
"Huh? Sect master, how do you know her name?" Wang Qi asked. Then, he suddenly panicked after remembering something. "Sect master, you can cheat on the Sect Madam. Otherwise, I doubt you'll live long."
"Shut up. Don't you think I know this? I only know her name for some reason."
Wang Qi sighed in relief. "I know you're wise." Wang Wei waved his hand to dismiss this bastard who spoke too much. "Wait, there is one more thing."
"What is it?"
"Well, how I say this, I might have spoken too much to someone."
"Did you see her again?"
"No, not her - I'm talking about the sect upstairs."
"Oh?"
"I brought a group of Human Fiendgod with me since it would be easier than ascending individually, and the sect thanked me. We had a banquet, and they asked about you. I might have revealed that you hold the destiny to end the current era."
"Do you understand how much of a blunder you've made?" Wang Wei asked. Although it would be relatively easy to deduce this truth after knowing what he's been up to, it was something else to tell the news - especially with the possibility that there might be spies in the sect.
"Sir, I know, but this was not an accident, but a calculated move on my part," Wang Qi swiftly said.
"I'm listening."
"I only told the news to three people, and they had to swear to Grand Dao. I ensured the oath's language was simple and direct to prevent complications, and all three of these people were Empyreans ??? meaning the chances of finding a way to break it are minimal."
"You were indeed careful," Wang Wei nodded. Although he could see the flaw in this plan, for example, the branch in the upper dimension probably had ways for Empyreans to use power above their realms through things like pills, talismans, and arrays. Additionally, a sect with such a deep foundation might have more than one rare treasure to nullify Grand Dao's oaths.
"What was their response?" Wang Wei asked.
"They said they would support you in whatever way you wish," Wang Qi replied. "I told them that with your personality and without the ancestors' present, you probably won't wish to bring more trouble to the sect and limit your contact with them until you've achieved your destiny."
"You seem to know me well?"
"Sect master, it's my job to know you well so I can serve you better."
Wang Wei wanted to roll his eyes. However, Wang Qi was not lying. Wang Wei chose him for this job under great recommendations due to his observation skills and ability to make the correct choice in a dangerous situation.
And over the course of their work together, Wang Qi has proven to be more capable than Wang Wei initially thought.
"What happened next?" Wang Wei asked.
"They said it was fine if you want to limit contact. They will leave resource points scattered all over the world for you to use. You only need to activate your luck, leading you there."
"Resources Point, huh? Did they say how much?"
"They said it was up to you. If you want their complete support, that is fine. However, it is also fine if you only want some starting wealth and do the rest yourself."
"That is good news," Wang Wei nodded. Things would become much easier with the support of such vast wealth and manpower. "Once again, you did a good job. Wang Qi. I believed the sect already rewarded you with what I promised?"
"Yes," Wang Qi showed his powerful aura that was as good as some of the best Insurgent.
"Excellent. I'll see you at the banquet." Wang Wei nodded.
"Huh, sect master."
"Anything else?"
"Is there a chance for me to ascend with you?"
"Hmm, this may not be a bad idea. I'll need someone who serves as a liaison between me and the rebellion, and you're the perfect candidate since they know and trust you to some level," Wang Wei analyzed. "But, are you sure? You should understand the danger we're about to face. I can care for myself but cannot guarantee your safety."
"I am sure," Wang Qi declared without hesitation.
"Good. Be prepared."
"I will," Wang Qi said with a gleeful voice. He bowed before flying away, leaving Wang Wei to his thoughts.
'Xu Junyao is having a celebration? This is the worst time for this kind of thing. So, is she just stupid, or is she planning something with this celebration? Interesting. This celebration is the perfect opportunity to meet and end this fated nexus.'
He looked in the distance before starting his work. He took the task of providing food and wine. Wang Wei had to prepare the best food and drink for over a hundred million immortals, ensuring this banquet was worthy of his name. Once that finished, he headed to check on Li Jun.
"Big brother, you're here."
"Yeah," Wang Wei nodded. As the Three Realm Emperor, he had no problem visiting any Samsara Court as he pleased since they were technically under his supervision.
"Can you participate in the banquet, or must I do something?"
"No, I got permission."
"With no consequences?"
"They've extended my time by a hundred thousand years," Li Jun replied.
"It's not a bad deal," Wang Wei nodded. Although he was suspicious of Li Jun's boss, there was no sign of anything nefarious going on, so he had to leave it be.
"Have you prepared your sermon?"
"Of course."
"Good. In that case, I'm leaving."
"Can't you stay a little longer?"
"I need to help your wife finish my pills. Oh, bring Su Ai. The banquet should be helpful to her and the child in her stomach."
"Oh, okay." Li Jun replied quietly, wondering whether this would cause him more trouble. Wang Wei ignored him before teleporting to the Guardian World, where he saw Yan Liling giving orders to many people, including Elder Dan and Miscellaneous One.
"Did they come to help you?"
"Yes. I want to finish as soon as possible."
"No need to rush," Wang Wei stated. "The banquet can be postponed if you need more time."
"It would look bad if you postpone."
"I don't care about that." For Wang Wei, people should follow his timetable, not the other way around.
"I know you don't, but it is still better to keep a surface-level good reputation." Wang Wei shrugged.
"Plus, I'm not in a hurry because of that. I have some feelings on how to update my [Pill Sage Sutra], but I'm missing some enlightenment. This banquet is the perfect opportunity."
"That's good to hear," Wang Wei nodded. "Well, I'm here and ready to help. What can I do?"
"We'll use your amazing soul power to accelerate the process," Yan Liling immediately replied. Wang Wei followed her direction while also taking this opportunity to learn from her and increase his sub-profession Daos that he's been neglecting.
The process was enjoyable as he remembered his time infiltrating the Origin Pill Dao Sect. By then, he only had to focus on refining pills, which he found relaxing and an excellent way to train the mind and spirit.
With Wang Wei's help, the pills were refined after 700 years passed on the outside, so he officially announced the banquet would take place 300 years later, along with the rules.
