Chapter 1304 End of First Meeting
\'After establishing such a deep foundation in the Mortal Realm, the effects of my Innate Paragon Soul are better than I anticipated,\' Wang Wei analyzed. However, he did not focus too much on that as his mind shifted to his previous deduction/epiphany.
\'I don\'t have to wait until I\'m at a higher level to reach such a state — I can lay the foundation now and maybe even acquire this ability early,\' Wang Wei thought, deducing how he could go about achieving such a task.
\'Above the Taishuang Indifference State of Mind, Taoism has a higher level called [Harmony With The Tao], which allowed them to fuse their mind with Heavenly Dao, entering a state of absolute calmness, absolutely stillness, and emptiness — in other words, a state without emotions, thoughts, troubles or concerns. In this state, the blessing for understanding the Grand Dao Source is comparable to some of the best physiques that lean toward comprehension.\'
Many inspirations flashed in Wang Wei\'s mind.
\'Buddhism sees the world as a Sea of Suffering and strives to transcend it. Maybe I can combine these two to get what I want. First, enter a state of harmony with the Tao. Then, find a way to transcend Heaven and Earth. No, I don\'t need to transcend it. I don\'t think I can even do it at this level. I only need for my status — my [Existence] — to be above Heaven and Earth even by a slight margin. Then, I can guide it to help me achieve my goals and ambitions.\'
Wang Wei was excited but soon calmed down. This plan sounds easy, but this was far from the truth. There were many obstacles to overcome. The first of which is a deep understanding of Taoism and Buddhism and sufficient achievements in [Spiritual Practices]. Wang Wei has access to the knowledge to make achievements, but Spiritual Practices usually require dedication and their own unique Dao Heart to reach high levels \\. Luckily, Wang Wei has an Ever Changing Dao, so with a thought, he can be a Buddha and, with another, a Supreme Tao Lord.
The second obstacle is the [Harmony With The Tao] state. Many Taoist priests failed to reach this level or did not even take this path because of the consequences of assimilation. The consequence of fusing with Heavenly Dao is to turn into an emotionless machine—just like Supreme Unity. Taoism emphasizes reducing and regulating emotions, not completely removing them. As such, any priest who has such a state of mind will have to constantly be on guard to prevent themselves from being assimilated and turning into a monster.
Of course, some people actively pursue assimilation. These people belong to a unique branch of Taoism called the Way of Indifference, the Way of Ruthlessness, or the Way of Heavenly Dao.
\'This is harder than I thought,\' Wang Wei pondered. He had attained great success in two different spiritual practices and then fused them. \'By any standards, it will take a long time to succeed, and it might not even work. Instead of wasting time, I might as well focus on becoming a Half-Step Transcendent…Wait, why am I so arrogant to think I can make such a technique in the Paragon Realm? My goal should be to lay the groundwork now, and once I\'m on that level, I may succeed.\'
Wang Wei believed his future self was way more powerful than the two suns, and it\'s not because they used an incomplete method. According to his deduction, becoming a transcendent is such an enormous leap from the Paragon Realm that the Half-Step exists. However, there should be a difference between the half-steps.
Maitreya and Supreme Unity would be something like Tier 12.1, while Wang Wei\'s future self is like Tier 12.7 to 12.9, and Tier 13 is True Transcendence. His technique should allow him to have some characteristics of 12.7 people while in the realm of 12.1.
Wang Wei\'s lips twitched. He hoped he knew enough about the realm of Half-Step Transcendence since he was not fond of this 12.1 and so on system.
"Is something wrong?" Xun Junyao asked again after noticing his weird reaction.
"No," Wang Wei replied. "Where were we? Oh, yes, negotiations. I have no problem with the price or your rules."
Xun Junyao glanced at her before raising her eyebrow ever so slightly. "That\'s good to hear. Is there anything else?"
"One last thing. This is for you."
"This is?"
"Purest Power of Fate," Wang Wei responded.
"What is this? A gift?" She looked at him strangely.
"Oh, don\'t misunderstand — this belongs to you. I intercepted it from Old Man Tianji."
Xun Junyao knew he was telling the truth as she sensed a direct connection to this power. After seeing this power, her mind deduced many things, and she understood a few puzzling matters—including why the reclusive Old Man Tianji was so willing to work with her.
"Well, thank you."
"No problem," Wang Wei replied. "Well, it\'s time for me to leave." Now he\'s met Xun Junyao and knows how to break their connection; Wang Wei achieved everything he set out to do for this meeting. Things went even better than anticipated, with Xun Junyao completely giving up on their relationship.
\'I should still be on guard since I doubt Fate would accept this result without any resistance, but I\'m satisfied for now,\' Wang Wei pondered.
"Fellow Daoist, why don\'t you stay a little longer? I\'m happy to continue hosting." Wang Wei could tell she was just being polite, so he declined. "That\'s a shame," Xun Junyao nodded before looking at the chessboard. "Especially for the unfinished game."
"We could preserve it for our next meeting," Wang Wei suggested.
"Oh?" After the previous alienation, Xun Junyao thought he only wanted a strict business-like relationship, but he seemed open to a regular acquaintanceship. She pondered briefly before nodding: "That\'s fine. You can keep the board, but please, do not cheat."
"I would never," Wang Wei said, and with a wave of his hand, the time in that world froze, and he put the chessboard away. Xun Junyao did not believe these words. She knew that if there were any benefits to winning and cheating was the only method to guarantee the win, he would cheat without reservation.
\'Why do I feel my reputation in this woman\'s mind has been ruined?\' Wang Wei thought after reading Xun Junyao\'s facial expression. He was speechless as he realized his assumption was correct. He shook his head, bowed to her, and disappeared from the Heavenly Beauty Palace.
Wang Wei did not return to the Dao Burial Ground; he teleported to a random realm located in Blood Dragon\'s territory. As soon as he arrived, he sensed more than seven battles in the void.
\'As expected, it\'s in chaos.\'
Wang Wei did not have the manpower to occupy such a vast territory, and even if he could, he wouldn\'t dare. His movement was still an underground one, so occupying any territory would be revealing himself to the world and his enemy. Other people or lineages did not dare take over these territories or adopt a wait-and-see tactic, leaving the parasites.
However, these people did not dare leave the boundaries of their territories. Blood Dragon\'s death scared many of them, especially without the presence of their leaders. Their tactics also involved waiting and protecting their territory. Expansion could wait until their leaders came back or ordered them to do so.
\'I spent so long worrying about reactions from these parasites that I overlooked the time difference between Primordial Chaos and inside the Eternal Ascension World.\' Although 3 million years have passed, a small amount of time might have passed outside. More time might have passed, but these people could not intervene or react because the war had significantly intensified.
\'Moreover, I have a feeling that these people are used to taking their time when doing things. I haven\'t fully adapted to that yet,\' Wang Wei thought as he flew around this place. He was used to things happening relatively fast in the lower dimension — especially during his time as Heavenly Emperor. However, things may be slower in the upper dimension.
It sounds like a bad thing, but it\'s the opposite. Taking more time to respond means taking more time to prepare for the response. Fast also means unpreparedness, being sloppy, and more room for error. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
\'Despite this, I have a feeling that Supreme Unity hasn\'t reacted because he\'s waiting for something,\' Wang Wei frowned. \'The question is what.\' He thought about many possibilities, but he did not like any of the results.
\'Forget it. Let\'s just prepare for everything I can think of. Anyways, I have nothing but time.\'
