Chapter 1358 Heaven Secret Crystal
Wang Wei observed the situation with a frown. Seven Cauldrons stood toweringly in the void with a Yin-Yang Symbol above her head, blocking a humongous Buddha Palm, seven swords that had turned into stars, a turtle shell bigger than any stars, and 33 spirits standing before 33 temples. 'She's not just blocking us, but slowly gaining the advantage,' Wang Wei analyzed.
'Boy, you must do something. We won't last long,' Yan Hai suddenly messaged him through divine sense. Wang Wei resisted the urge to roll his eyes. He knew this and was trying to find a solution.
'I'm thinking,' he replied succinctly. Wang Wei knew that time was not on their side, and the best way to solve this was to add more power to their sides, thus tilting this stand-off toward them. The question is, who and how do we do this?
'If I could summon Feng Heng to this place, Maitreya should be able to use more power with her vessel present,' Wang Wei analyzed. 'But would Supreme Unity allow news to leave this place? Would he allow anyone to enter?' Wang Wei swiftly eliminated this approach, along with others that require outside individuals to help. 'Most people cannot access this place,' he concluded with a frown. Such a conclusion eliminated many other ideas, including using the other Sages and borrowing their authority.
'Most people cannot, but there is still Heavenly Dao,' Wang Wei calculated. 'It's powerful enough, has the same ubiquitous characteristic as Supreme Unity, and is already in confrontation with the usurper.' This idea was feasible, but another problem was summoning Heavenly Dao.
'Regular summon methods won't work,' Wang Wei thought. Heavenly Dao had lost most of its power and authority, so regular methods of summoning would have no effect. 'So, that eliminates those two methods,' Wang Wei continued. He was a Destiny Son and had a deep karmic connection with Heavenly Dao, a fact he could have previously used to summon the latter. However, this was no longer applicable. The same is true for his status as a [Sage].
'The best way to summon Heavenly Dao now is to make a significant achievement with worldwide ramifications.' Since the lock appeared, the only way to truly mobilize Heavenly Dao and increase its fighting power against Supreme Unity has been to improve the world's "prosperity."
Wang Wei's eyes light up. Usually, he couldn't think of such an accomplishment in such a short period while in danger. However, this battle started because of such an opportunity. Wang Wei calmly looked at Seven Cauldron.
Before this battle, he suspected there might be fraud, so he visited a few people, one of which was Xun Junyao. He asked her to come with him because he figured she had condensed a Paragon Soul with Blood Dragon's Resources before the lock descended. As such, her soul could occupy a puppet, and she could become a Quasi-Paragon fighting force.
Xun Junyao can then work together with Emperor Kong, another Quasi-Paragon, and block one Paragon. Wang Wei was cautious, so he brought extra help; it also helped that his action also deepened his connection to her, thus making it easier to cut off their fate connection.
'I'm glad I was paranoid,' Wang Wei thought as he contacted Xun Junyao. Like Yan Hai and the others, she came with him through a unique dimension, meaning she was already present in this sealed space.
"Everyone, I have a way to fuse all our sealing methods," Wang Wei suddenly said. "Work together with me." Wang Wei's aura rose drastically while his complexion became paler; it appeared he was losing blood at an alarming rate. The others reacted and started cooperating with him. Wang Wei's soul started blending with the others, allowing him to take brief control over their Sealing Techniques.
Seven Cauldron frowned. Her cold and indifferent demeanor — which somehow made her look more beautiful and holy — finally had some fluctuation. 'Something is wrong,' she thought, but she could not immediately figure it out. However, she did not focus too much on it. All these plans and schemes are useless in the face of absolute power.
Boom!
A brilliant light enveloped their fighting space, followed by a sound so loud that it echoed in the emptiness of the void. People immediately checked the source of the light and sound, but their divine sense was cut off just by the residual of that power.
"What a terrifying sword power," Old Man Dai stated, not hiding his shock. Meanwhile, Yan Hai gave him a look that said: You know what you're talking about, youngster. In the distance, people saw the most beautiful woman alive floating in the void, holding a talisman in her right hand. She was perspiring as her complexion was pale, but that only increased her allure and charm.
Luckily, the people present had a strong will, so they turned their eyes to something more substantial—the seal on the Void Illusion was destroyed.
"Excellent work, Lady Xun," Wang Wei praised. However, Xun Junyao was not strong enough to reply. Yan Hai's peak attack was not something that an Empyrean could control. If not for her Paragon Soul, that attack would have gone out of control and killed her along with it. "You can leave to recuperate."
Xun Junyao mustered the strength to say: "I've repaid you for what you did for my disciple. From now on, I only owe you two more debts."
"Of course," Wang Wei nodded. Xun Junyao disappeared, and Wang Wei continued his work. He ignored Seven Cauldron's increase in resistance and said to the sky:
"Heaven and Earth above, the world has been wounded for many years. Long ago, our ancestors were wise and created means to facilitate open communication, fair trade, and sharing thoughts and ideas from any distance. They brought our civilization together, allowing us to work together for a better future.
"However, greedy eyes have blocked our progress and regressed our civilization. Today, after years of planning, using courage and wisdom, and gathering the strengths of many, I have free the world. I have brought our civilization to its original track of prosperity and grandeur. Please, Heaven and Earth, be my witness."
Wang Wei looked at the sky. His words might seem nonsensical or bragging, but he chose them carefully. The Eternal Ascension World's Heaven Dao is exceptionally ambitious, and the one thing it cares about more than anything is the rise and prosperity of the cultivation civilization.
According to Wang Wei, if Supreme Unity was willing to promise Heavenly Dao to improve the world and even show it a concrete plan on how his actions might benefit the world better than Heavenly Dao, then the latter might have allocated its power to the Taoist Priest.
The sky suddenly changed. Although this area was sealed, everyone could see the visions happening in the Eternal Ascension World. A golden hue enveloped the entire world. However, black thunder flashed between Heaven and Earth before the visions could fully manifest or even merit descending.
All sentient beings heard a roar of anger and frustration; without any knowledge or experience, everyone knew that this roar originated from Heavenly Dao. The Eternal Ascension World's sky suddenly became a battlefield between golden aura and black thunder, and in a short period, the black thunder had the advantage.
"This is our opportunity," Wang Wei reminded, and as expected, everyone focused on sealing Seven Cauldron. However, her action was relatively swift and decisive: she removed the Seal Array that blocked the area and ignored these people's attacks before forcefully teleporting away. Wang Wei frowned before thinking of something. As expected, Seven Caudron appeared above the sky and played her role as a vessel.
The black thunder rapidly corroded the golden hue as soon as she appeared. Luckily, someone else appeared to reverse the situation somewhat. The monk Feng Heng had a unique aura, and without uttering a word, he started battling.
Wang Wei kept observing this fight. Despite the support, Heavenly Dao was still at a significant disadvantage. The good news is it has regained its strength. He estimated that the lock might have granted Supreme Unity control over 95% of Heavenly Dao, but his subsequent actions had reduced his control to less than 90%.
'I can probably grant Heavenly Dao my authority to increase its power,' Wang Wei analyzed. 'However, it may be best to reserve this trick for the next battle.' It's never wise for a general to reveal all its tricks in battle.
'Plus, the current situation is that fate is disturbed, and the secrets of Heaven and Earth are in chaos, meaning this is a great opportunity for me.'
Wang Wei did not hesitate. This was an opportunity that he could not waste. So, he gathered Fate Dao and Yin-Yang Calculation to condense a crystal that he called [Heaven Secret Crystal]. He looked at the ordinary-looking gem in his palm and nodded in satisfaction.
Although this object might look simple and ordinary, he knew its importance. At this point in this chess game, when his divination becomes useless, he can use this crystal to perform a divination that is not influenced by anyone.
'If I use this at the right time, it should increase my chances of dealing with Supreme Unity.'
