After seeing Ancestor Wusheng, Wang Wei did not visit his family and returned to his Sacred Son Mountain to once again entered seclusion. He previously moved the Secret Realm with the Heaven Hiding Array inside.
Wang Wei wanted to calculate when Xu Shi would leave seclusion so he could go after her.
And the answer he received was that she would not leave the Academy until she entered the Saint Realm and showed herself to the world. And that was too late for him.
So, he calculated ways that he could lure her out of the Academy but failed no matter what tactics he used. The Academy seemed determined to keep her inside for as long as possible.
So, he deduced a future where he used his [Fate Stealing] technique to infiltrate the Academy and find Xu Shi's whereabouts. And as expected, something went wrong, and the Academy discovered him.
His final fate was death; numerous True Monarchs and Quasi-Emperor besieged him, and he killed thousands of them. In the end, Headmaster Song Li activated the Academy's Emperor Formation and obliterated him.
Wang Wei tried again. This time he sent clones to infiltrate the Academy, trying to get close to Lin Fan's family to discover some information. Regrettably, no matter how many simulations he did, the result was the same.
Wang Wei had a feeling that someone in the Academy was aware of his plan and kept an eye on preventing his action. Then, he kidnapped Xu Guan to force Xu Shi from hiding.
But that plan also did not work. The Academy kept this news a secret from her even after Wang Wei killed her father. He even tried to make it appear as if Lin Fan survived and appeared again to lure her out.
She still did not appear.
Frustrated, he had no choice but to search elsewhere. Wang Wei knew that other World Communities could have the Absolute Chaos Physique since the top 3 physiques were the same throughout the Endless Void.
Regrettably, the Endless Void was too vast. And with Heavenly Dao hiding the secrets of Heaven, he could only divine the identity and position of two people. Unfortunately, according to his timelines, Wang Wei learned that all these people died in the Slaughter Trial.
This calculation took him 1600 years, and the result was an utter failure. Luckily, he did not wholly waste these years. Right now, he was at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
He comprehended and absorbed his [Fetus' Light] and [Bright Spirit]. The [Fetus' Light] increased his life span by 5,000 years, and the [Bright Spirit] drastically increased his spiritual power.
As a result, 560 billion of his spirit particles were now lighted up, thus increasing his comprehension a little and drastically increasing the speed at which he processed information.
He followed Wu Hong's warning and did not break the [Bright Spirit] chains.
Wang Wei did not focus much on his fleshly body, but he nourished most of his 1962 Acupoints, and soon, they would be able to condense stars–or black holes in his case–before opening the secondary Acupoints.
The second benefit he received in this long retreat was the [Bloodline Curse]. During his retreat, his father sent him some related Time Resources, so he now had 72 [Future Buddha Self].
The curse involved the concept of [Existence] at the highest level of this technique. So, using some of the [Futue Buddha Self], he deduced the technique based on Su Ya's performance before comprehending it. And what he found honestly shocked him.
It was the same [Existence] that Eternal Emperors had to comprehend.
After discovering this fact, Wang Wei understood that he was fortunate, and Lin Fan had no hope of surviving.
The first curse was only a weakened version. And at that time, Lin Fan still had hope to survive.
However, when Su Ya strengthened it with grievances, the curse attached itself to Lin Fan's [Existence]. And at that time, Lin Fan still had hope to survive.
By then, even if the Death Talisman worked, he would still die–unless an Eternal Emperor came to rescue him.
As for Wang Wei, this is where his luck comes into the equation. As a mortal, he would never touch the concept of [Existence] until he acquired the Heaven Will.
But since Heavenly Dao used Su Ya's grievances to ensure Lin Fan's death, he took the opportunity. Of course, if it were not for his heaven-defying comprehension and the [Future Buddha Self], he would never have such a level of fortunate encounter.
Of course, Wang Wei can only vaguely feel his Existence. However, this vague feeling has increased his chances of becoming an Eternal Emperor by at least 5%.
Furthermore, he also has an idea on how to his [Force Control Skill]. More importantly, he achieved his primary objective in understanding this curse: to create a counter-preventive measure.
He saw how Lin Fan was powerless to resist, and based on his calculation, he could probably last a few hours more than Lin Fan if hit with the weakened version.
Now, he found a way to block this level of curses by using the Duyi Realm–a prototype of Dao Will–to form a protective armor around his [Existence]. This method was more difficult at first since he could only vaguely sense things, but he managed to make it work.
Subsequently, Wang Wei began to wonder who created this curse. In his opinion, no ordinary Great Emperor could do such a thing. Unfortunately, this was not the time for this search, nor did he think he would easily find the answer. So, he focused on the future.
For his next cultivation plan, Wang Wei will use the [Pill Washing Sutra] to enhance his spiritual power rapidly and light up more spirit particles. After taking many Soul Increasing Pills, he will remove his resistance to these pills and use them again.
As such, he can light up all his spirit particles quickly before entering the Void Shattering Realm.
Thinking of the Void Shattering Realm, Wang Wei knew he was running out of time. So, he exited his retreat to continue searching for a method to pass the trial.
After exiting the mansion, Wang Wei raised his head to look at the bright and sunny sky. Suddenly, clouds appeared to cover the sun, making everything around the mountain dark and gloomy.
He was using an application of the Power of Heaven and Earth. In the Divine Body Realm, cultivators can borrow the power of Heaven and Earth to increase their battle strength.
However, in the Primordial Spirit Realm, they can use a more subtle and brilliant method of controlling the power of Heaven and Earth. Cultivators can summon rain, clouds, thunder, create earthquakes, activate volcanoes, etc.
They can use the Power of Heaven and Earth to control natural phenomena. Unfortunately, these methods are mostly useless in combat–at least in the upper realm.
From what Wang Wei read, Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators in the Lower Realm used them more often in combat.
As he looked at the dark clouds, Wang Wei thought to himself:
'Why is it so hard to find the Absolute Chaos Physique? Could it be that Heavenly Dao can see my deductions, learn of my actions, and take preventive measures?'
Logically speaking, this should be impossible with the Heaven Hiding Array, but Wang Wei began to feel paranoid about how things seemed to go awry every time he came close to success.
While looking at the sky, he waved his hand to send a talisman somewhere. A few hours later, Wang Ju came to see him.
"Youg master, Fang Lijuan refused your invitation."
"Why?" he wrote in the air.
"In the past thousand years, you have defeated Feng Heng, Huang Yuan, and Su Ya. Many people think that you are gathering Destiny and Luck, so they do not want to fight with you."
Wang Wei frowned as he thought to himself. He wanted to use her Invisible Talisman to see if he could perfectly hide from Heavenly Dao. Although he only had a suspicion and no proof, and even his intuition did not warn him, he could not help but be cautious.
"Go back, but this time, ask for an exchange instead of a challenge."
Wang Wei watched her leave before sending another talisman to his father. He asked him to send some people in the Endless Void to search for other Absolute Chaos Physique.
At the same time, Wang Wei had a feeling that this path to passing this trial would most likely not be helpful. A few minutes later, Wang Ju came back. After seeing the hesitation on her face, Wang Wei frowned before motioning for her to speak:
"The people of the Divine Dao League told me that Fang Lijuan immediately entered retreat after I left."
"Didn't you tell them about the benefit they would receive for this exchange?"
"I did, and based on their reaction, they wanted to make the exchange. However, they also did not want to interrupt Fang Lijuan. So, it is very likely that it is not an excuse."
Wang Wei pondered. He guessed that Fang Lijuan knew his personality and would not give up so easily. So, she used this opportunity to enter seclusion and avoid confrontation.
However, Wang Wei could not help but be paranoid given the current situation. He massaged his temple while thinking about the next step. Suddenly, Wang Ju seemed to have received a communication.
"Youg master, someone wants to see you."
"Who is it?"
"I don't know. But one of my men caught someone who said he had something to give you."
"Why did you bring this to my attention?"
With his current status, many people want to meet him for various reasons; they are primarily people who want to become his followers.
"The person sent a message. At first, I thought he was someone trying to appear mysterious to get our attention. However, based on my men's analysis, this person may not be simple, so they wanted me to make the final decision."
"What's the message?"
"Outlaw."
Wang Wei squinted his eyes after seeing this. Only his family knew of the Outlaw Trial. Not even Li Jun and Yan Liling knew of the situation, let alone Wang Ju.
"Bring them him."
Soon, a young man dressed in all black appeared in the mansion. The moment he saw him, Wang Wei frowned. He could not see the person's Fate Line, let alone read it.
He could not see his cultivation level or anything about this person; it was like he was non-existent.
"Who are you, and what do you want?"
The young man bowed before taking out a metal cube.
"My master wanted me to lend this to you. My master said this should help you hide completely from Heavenly Dao."
Wang Wei calmly looked at the cube in this person's hand. He learned three things in the few sentences that this young man said.
One: he has a master, so he is not the person behind the scene.
Two: the mastermind knows of his Outlaw Status.
Three: This person has a superb intelligence system as they knew that Wang Ju went to the Divine Dao League a few hours ago and received the information. Additionally, they should be very intelligent since they can guess his intention.
Wang Wei did not say anything but stare at the young man. With a calm and composed demeanor, he continued:
"My master said they would reveal their identities if you pass the trial. And if you accept the gift, they want your promise to help them in return. Of course, it will be something within your capabilities."
Wang Wei looked at the cube while in deep thought. He understood that someone else wanted to sow Karma with him.
Honestly, this cube may not be necessary.
Heavenly Dao probably could not see his future calculations but could deduce all possible actions he could take to pass the trial and take preventive measures.
So, his paranoia because of the trial made him want to find a more secure method. In the end, he decided to take the cube.
Immediately afterward, the young man disintegrated into countless particles, as if he was never here.
'Interesting. There is no Karmic Bounding on the cube, and the mastermind did not even ask me to sign a contract. Is this a way to show good faith? Telling me that they believe that I will keep my promise.'
