Chapter 521 Success and Ambitions
Wang Wei took a few pills to recuperate, so his complexion improved after a few hours.
“My control of Time Law is not ideal. Otherwise, this technique should not take such a large toll on me.”
After realizing this issue, he placed on top of his agenda to modify the [Force Controlling Skill] to apply to Laws, which was initially one of the primary purposes he created in the first place.
Then, he checked the conversation of these five but quickly lost interest when he realized there was nothing of significance. Nevertheless, he did notice that the Soul Network Ability required a high amount of Spiritual Power to constantly allow these five to communicate across worlds.
And since Wang Wei is from another World Community very far away, the expenditure on Spiritual Strength is even higher. Based on his calculation, the spiritual strength of at least 100 Quasi-Emperors burned every hour.
This number was not much for Wang Wei, but the ability would become a burden when he eventually had access to more World Communities. Luckily, as long as these five are not communicating, the ability can temporarily stop.
“This might be an issue,” Wang Wei muttered before quickly thinking of a solution. He then refined a few Quasi-Emperor Tier soul magical artifacts to store his spiritual strength. The artifact will serve as the energy core of the Soul Network, and Wang Wei only needs to replenish it when needed.
A few days had passed while he refined the artifacts. Now, he began to ponder his next course of action. The techniques he created for these people were, in fact, incomplete.
Technically speaking, they can only be used until the Primordial Spirit Realm. Cultivation techniques from the Void Shattering Realm and above involved Law Comprehension.
They can help teach its user directly how to understand and control a specific law. However, most cultivators who want to reach the Quasi-Emperor Realm know only to use them as references.
After all, the comprehension of the predecessors is not necessarily beneficial to another person. Everyone is unique and understands the Laws in different ways.
‘The sect has many Supreme Tier techniques with the Five Element Laws, so I can just copy and modify those. My mother created a few cultivation techniques of the same level regarding Literary Spirit and Righteous Qi, so the scholar’s scripture has no problem.
‘I’ve read the Shadow Ruler’s Emperor Scripture, so all I have to do is add my understanding of Space Laws for the Assasin. I have a lot of Su Ya’s understanding of emotions, so it should not take long to make the Butcher’s scripture.
‘The only remaining one is the Mad King’s technique, which would take me longer. However, comprehension of Sovereign Laws should boost my [Emperor Words Are Law] ability.’
Wang Wei sighed, thinking it is not easy to swindle people. No, he meant to do business in this world. Luckily, he considered the waste of his personal time when charging these people.
His eyes then changed as he divined something:
“Five years until the Secret Realm opens. For me, that’s a total of 540 years with the Future Buddha Self. More than enough time.”
As he prepared to enter a short cultivation seclusion, he felt something before muttering: “So soon?” He closed his eyes to enter the Mind Palace before calling out Song Jinyuan’s soul.
“Senior, you have to help me!”
Wang Wei calmly caressed his beard for a few seconds while looking at him.
“Kid, you should have expected this outcome.”
“I know, and I accept my decision.”
“Very well. What is the problem?”
“After meeting with the Supreme Elder, I used the excuse of entering seclusion to avoid suspicions for a while. However, Song Dasheng refused to accept his defeat; he kept spreading rumors throughout the clan that I cheated and challenged me to another duel.
“So, I release the news I would only accept his challenge if innate treasures are at stake. I thought he would back down for a while. But I don’t know how he acquired another innate herb, but he’s waiting for my challenge.”
“Since another innate herb is on the line, I will be more than happy to help you.”
“Senior, is there any way you could allow me to use your power for a lower price?”
Wang Wei gave him a gentle smile. “There is. You will tell your family that you have acquired a powerful bloodline. However, every time you use it, you lose 200,000 years of life span, which is the price for every drop of blood.”
“What? Senior, isn’t that a little too much?”
“Not at all. With my power, you could defeat all the Heaven Chosen of your world to gather resources and destiny. By then, your chances of proving the Dao would drastically increase.
“Of course, I would not recommend you do that since the chances of being discovered are extremely high.”

Song Jinyuan’s eyes lit up, “Could I use your power during the Heaven Will Battle?”
“Absolutely not. There are strict rules for Immortal cultivators intervening in the Heaven Will Battle of any World Community.”
Song Junyuan was disappointed after hearing this; he thought he had found a way to immortality. However, Wang Wei did not care about his mood.
Technically speaking, since he is not an Immortal, there should be no problem with him intervening in another community’s Heaven Will. After all, the number of Heaven Chosen like himself who could use their strength to forcibly alter the result of other communities Heaven Will Battle could be counted on one hand throughout the entire Endless Void.
Considering his status as Fateless, he might truly get away with doing such a thing. However, he did not want to risk it. It would be catastrophic if True Heavenly Dao decided to annihilate him or made him suffer backlash right before his Heaven Will Battle.
His chances of defeating Di Tian are yet to be determined in peak shape. If he was injured before the battle, he had no chance whatsoever.
“In that case, I accept your offer.”
Wang Wei gave him a drop of blood before sending him back. Then, he watched the event unfold. Song Jinyuan made his opponent sign the contract for the innate herb, then explained to the latter the price of his bloodline and why he does not want to fight very often.
According to Song Jinyuan, he only had two opportunities to use his bloodline without repercussions, and now he was forced to use it on Song Dasheng.
The elders of the clan believed his explanation. Still, Song Dasheng remained skeptical until Song Jinyuan once again beat him an inch to his life without being able to retaliate a single time.
Every member of the Song Clan was again shocked by Song Jinyuan’s fighting prowess and excited at the prospect of cultivating another Great Emperor in this generation, making the latter guilty of lying.
Unfortunately, he knew he was in too deep now and too late to back down. So, he feinted exhaustion before handing the herb to Wang Wei.
“Let’s take some risks,” he muttered before finding three other people from the Martial Supreme to scam as he did to Song Jinyuan. It took him a few days to search and divine the right person, but he succeeded.
The first two were more cunning than Song Jinyuan and chose the talisman. Nevertheless, he still acquired one innate herb from each of them for a total of 9.
The last individual was special. He was a True Monarch with a dying wife and needed a special Quasi-Emperor Tier Pill to save her. Unfortunately, after years of trying to save her, he was now poor.
He did not have many resources as a loose cultivator, and the herbs required to heal his wife were rare. So, Wang Wei made a deal with him.
There is a Forbidden Land in the Martial Supreme World full of spiritual herbs. And there are rumors of innate treasures deep inside. So, Wang Wei gave the man the power to reach deep inside.
He first searched for the material to refine the pill for his wife before heading into the inner area and taking two innate treasures. Unfortunately, an unknown power came out of nowhere and annihilated him soon after.
Wang Wei managed to get the two herbs and protect a piece of his soul. As a result, he sensed a terrifying gaze that locked him across World Communities.
But, he acted in time to surround him with Ancestor Wucheng and Wu Hong’s aura, which forced the gaze to ignore him. Then, he refined the pill to save the third candidate’s wife while also healing his soul.
As for what happens to him afterward, that’s for his wife to worry about.
Inside his mansion, Wang Wei had a genuine smile on his face. Only four of his incarnation had all the resources needed for his cultivation, despite granting the resources to five of them.
That is because his father counted the resources he used to condense his new body as one. The upside is that the 9th reincarnation does not need any resources, so he only had to acquire four 4 of the incarnation.
Now, he finally acquired 10 innate treasures for one incarnation to temper their bodies, meaning he only had to gather for the remaining three. Considering how easy it was, Wang Wei suddenly became dangerously ambitious.
He wanted to know if he could absorb more than one innate herb for the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture.] Although this approach has not been accomplished before, it was worth trying.
And even if it was impossible, he wanted his main body to replace the innate herbs and materials with chaos-level ones. And maybe even a few other incarnations.
‘Okay, let’s be realistic. I may be able to do so for the main body but not for the incarnation.’
After forcefully controlling his ambitions, Wang Wei prepared to enter seclusion to make these scriptures and take this opportunity to reach the next stage of the Void Shattering Realm.
And right before he did so, he heard a voice in his mind:
“Kid, you really know how to cause trouble. Don’t take such risks again. Understand?”
“Yes, Ancestor,” Wang Wei replied out loud before bowing in one direction and entering his seclusion.
Meanwhile, Wang Wucheng watched him with a smile. He liked that this kid knew how to take calculated risks and when to retreat; he knew not to be blinded by his greed.
