Chapter 1200 Ascension (I)
1200 Ascension (I)
"Let's start with my True Avatars," Wang Wei muttered. He gathered his [Existence] to condense countless unique countless. All Everlasting Empyreans can have a total of 1.269 trillion True Avatars, but Wang Wei did not create all of them.
The True Avatars will remain mortal as they experience reincarnation after reincarnation. Their purpose is to be backups, or revival means for their main body. Based on the rules of Heaven and Earth, the higher the cultivation of a True Avatar, the easier it is to recognize them.
Empyreans are then forced to keep their Avatars as mortals to prevent discovery. However, they will also select a few Avatars to hide themselves and cultivate. These Avatars will have a cultivation level of 69.999% so that if they die, the avatar can immediately become the main body and inherit all the main body's powers.
After creating most of the Avatars, Wang Wei summoned his Life-Death Dao to bless them. However, he immediately frowned as he realized something. He summoned his status as the Mine Three Realm Emperor for the blessing, and the result was the same.
"Rules after rules," he complained. He wanted some of his True Avatars to reincarnate into the lower dimension to have an extra safety measure - just like his Secret Vaults. Unfortunately, the rules stated they could only be reincarnated into the upper dimension and the Eternal Ascension World.
Wang Wei waved his hand to send these things into reincarnation, and he was once again surprised. As soon as these avatars arrived, he sensed they had already reincarnated. The processing speed astonished him.
"It seems the rules still provided some advantage," he muttered. Although it was something small, it was better than nothing. His next step was refining his Proving Dao Artifact. He summoned a ball of compressed strings glowing with a golden aura.
The artifact was a part of him, meaning his Grand Dao Source nourished it during his breakthrough. As such, this artifact is now classified as an Empyrean Artifact Embryo, meaning he only needs to fuse material of the same level to finish it.
Currently, Wang Wei had two materials he could use: the Sword Creation Lifeform from Old Man Nether and a Prime Gold Qi that his clones found in the Source Qi Space. He did not hesitate to add these things, completing the final transformation of his artifact.
'This thing is truly sub-par, not even adding 1-fold to my Battle Realm,' Wang Wei complained. However, he was limited by resources. He could only wait until he ascended to improve the artifact.
Wang Wei finally stood up from his cushion, directly teleporting to his Secret Vault. If anyone saw this thing, they would think he was a narcissist. There were paintings of him on one side of the room, showing the different events in his life. The other side contained calligraphy of his name and all the titles he'd received. There were recordings of his memories, and at the center of the room were stacks of books about everything he'd accomplished in his life.
Wang Wei created another book to add more details. Although Heaven and Earth did not acknowledge his accomplishments of being the first Everlasting and Indestructible Paragons in the lower dimension or the fact he was probably the youngest in history - they were all significant accomplishments, and he put them into his vault.
Once he was done, Wang Wei teleported his vault into the core of the World Tree. There was no better place to hide it, especially since it would have such a powerful guardian. Additionally, he instructed the tree to teleport the vault away in case a powerful enemy discovered it.
'Should I also add my ancestor's vault?' Wang Wei hesitated. All Emperors are paranoid about their vaults, even for family members or Dao Companions. So, there is a chance that his actions might be controversial to his ancestors.
'Let's just do it, and I'll apologize to them,' Wang Wei said, and he spread his Divine Sense to find their vault. 'Nothing?' He found every hidden vault in the lower dimension but not theirs.
'Two possibilities. They both experienced an event so terrifying that their vaults were destroyed, or they sent projections after becoming Paragon to hide them better.'
Wang Wei no longer focused on this and left after giving the World Tree another baptism. His destination was the sect. Everyone gathered as they knew this was the last official meeting of this generation's sect master.
"I believe my clone has already refined the Immortal Mansions and unique Qi?" Wang Wei asked directly.
"Yes," Origin One nodded with a smile. The amount of reserve mansion and energy Wang Wei created for them was five times greater than all the sect's previous Emperors, and if it were not for the Balance Mechanism, it would have been more.
"Good. Now, it's time for the Dao Source Seed." Wang Wei began to refine the seeds at an alarming rate. Moreover, those seeds contained more potential than others since they were refined from an Empyrean. The result was twice as much as all the former Emperors combined. Of course, like the Immortal Mansions, most of these seeds will be sealed and distributed over a long period. The majority will not see the day of light until the sect encounters a catastrophe.
"This is for you," Wang Wei said as he handed Dong Lifen's master a unique seed. "It contains a special River of Fate that will boost your power to the peak of the Emperor Realm when needed and a 3 Zhang Grandmist Wheel to help you create life and accelerate your cultivation."
Empyreans's wheel is between 6 to 12 Zhang, but Dao Rulers can have 3 to 5 Zhang.
"The wheel is not just for you," Wang Wei continued. "You'll have to share it with the others. Come with a schedule on how to use it." Wang Wei sighed. "I would love to leave more, but the rules are not in my favor."
"Thank you, sect master," Yu Siyu replied. Wang Wei then watched her fuse with the seed.
"Welcome, Fate One," said every one present.
"Thank you, everyone; I'll be in your care from now on." Never in her life would Yu Siyu have expected to reach such a level in her cultivation, and she owed everything to the sect master and her disciple.
"What's next?" Wang Wei asked.
"The artifact and arrays," replied Miscellaneous One.
"Let's start with the artifact." Someone brought an artifact similar to his - a ball of compressed strings. "The workmanship is brilliant," Wang Wei complimented. Whoever refined that thing pushed the limit of the materials.
"Thank you, sect master. This is one of my best works," Miscellaneous One said with a smile. Wang Wei nodded before summoning the Four-Symbol Mirror. With a thought, the mirror turned into particles that fused with the string ball artifact. Finally, he summoned his Proving Dao Artifact and created a projection, which fractured under his control.
Many people sighed after seeing this, knowing a true Empyrean Artifact couldn't remain in the lower dimension. Once the projection fused with the sect's artifact, it released a terrifying aura. The sect now owned a cracked Empyrean Artifact as their tenth artifact, and it was one of the best of its kind.
His next task was to add the Grand Dao Source nourishment to the sect's tenth Emperor Array, which combined a Fate Array and the Heaven Deceiving Array. He tried to deceive Heaven into allowing him to create a Tier 11 formation, but that was not allowed. So, he followed the same principle as the artifact.
His third task was to leave a True Will Artifact for the sect. With his current strength, the array from the Human Emperor's Trial, and other means, this artifact will take a very long time to dissipate. Sadly, it still could not be permanent. However, Wang Wei did leave an Insurgent technique called [World Will] that allowed Dao Ancestors to create a copy of a Dao Will/True Will from their Inner World.
The last thing Wang Wei did was update his [Fate Transcending Sutra]. True Heavenly Dao was not a douche this time around and allowed him to leave the entire sutra, meaning the sect now had an Empyrean Sutra at their foundation.
Once Wang Wei finished everything, he had a small goodbye dinner with all the sect's leaders and upper echelons. Near the end of the party, he secretly drank with Yan Chen and Ancestor Wucheng.
"A toast to the two of you. You've protected me throughout my cultivation journey and even died for my safety. I would not be here without the two of you."
"You honor us too much," Yan Chen replied with a sigh. He always felt he did not do much as a Dao Protector, so he only accepted being a normal Dao Ancestor instead of the sect wasting resources on him to become a First-Class or even Eternal Insurgent.
"No need to go easy on this kid. As he said, I died for him, and I'll mooch off this fact for the rest of my life," replied Wang Wucheng.
"You know I'm now technically older than you."
"The time inside formation doesn't count," Wang Wucheng replied shamelessly.
"As shameless as always," Wang Wei said with a smile, and the two drank until late at night.
