Chapter 504 Reveal

"Is this what it means for my Qi Luck to improve after becoming a Dao Overlord?" muttered w.a.n.g Wei, thinking how unlikely it is for someone to the Dao Comprehension of a Great Emperor. No, someone who is probably higher than a Great Emperor.

No longer focusing on such a thing, w.a.n.g Wei closed his eyes to continue his comprehension. After a certain amount of time, his Law Seed suddenly changed; a new aura manifested on it beside the aura of fate–the aura of time.

The second law that w.a.n.g Wei understood was the Law of Time. Technically, it was Zhen Chao"s Law of Freedom. However, he needs to understand Yin-Yang Laws to fuse the Dao of Fate with the Dao of Free Will.

Finally, he absorbed the Law Seed back into his Law Altar. w.a.n.g Wei then raised his head to see the sky turned into auspicious signs that spread throughout the Myriad Emperor World, announcing he was the third person in his generation to reach the Void Shattering Realm.

After two more people make the breakthrough, Heavenly Dao will open the Path of Supreme for the older generation.

"It should not be long," muttered w.a.n.g Wei before looking in one direction. He could sense someone sending an invitation to him. So, he no longer hesitated and opened a s.p.a.ce Tear to that location.

He saw a small island floating in the sky, surrounded by numerous formations. And when he arrived, the formations opened to allow him entry. So, w.a.n.g Wei followed the call"s direction to meet the Unseen Cube"s mysterious owner.

Soon, he saw someone sitting cross-legged, waiting for him with hot tea.

"It"s you," said w.a.n.g Wei, genuinely surprised.

"Yes, it"s me," replied Zhen Biyu, the Five Elements Balance Physique and Heaven Chosen of the Five Element Palace. w.a.n.g Wei sat next to her while observing her.

The changes to her were very noticeable. Zhen Biyu"s previously innocent and pure eyes were now full of wisdom and the impurities of the mortal world. It was as if her previous Pure Heart talent had disappeared.

"You look like a completely different person," said w.a.n.g Wei.

"In some ways, I am."

"Body Possession?" said w.a.n.g Wei as many thoughts flashed across his mind. "No, split personality; to be precise, split souls."

"That"s correct. The other "Buyi" and I are two sides of the same coin."

"So, which one is the main soul?"

"What do you think?" replied Zhen Biyu with a smile.

"Interesting. One side is pure of mind and heart, while the other is full of cunningness and is strategically minded."

"So, you promise to tell me the truth," said w.a.n.g Wei before taking out the Unseen Cube and handing it over to her.

Zhen Buyi looked at the cube in her hand and sighed aloud: "I need your help."

w.a.n.g Wei took a sip of the tea, and his eyes lit up. The tea seemed to be based on the five elements, allowing the drinker to experience five different tastes that were perfectly harmonized.

"What an excellent tea. I should ask if she has more once we are done."

"Do you know that there are some Emperors who hide in the lower dimension to cultivate instead of leaving?" asked Zhen Biyu.

"I have heard of them."

She paused for a moment as if to remember something; then, a touch of sadness appeared in her eyes.

"Well, I am a clone of one of them."

w.a.n.g Wei still did not say anything.

"The Five Heart Emperor was a Second-Cla.s.s Emperor from another World Community. However, she did not want to ascend to the higher world for some reason. Instead, she used some method to create countless clones and send them to Samsara.

"And after these clones prove the Dao, she will refine them to increase her understanding of the Grand Dao Source."

Zhen Biyu stopped to look at w.a.n.g Wei, waiting for his reaction, but he just took another sip of his tea.

"How did she escape the sight of Heavenly Dao? Her action falls under the category of tempering with the Heaven Will Battle, and I doubt a Second-Cla.s.s has such profound method."

"I don"t know exactly, but I think she has a unique Chaos Treasure to help."

w.a.n.g Wei squinted his eyes at her for a moment before asking another question: "As a clone, how could you possibly learn about such a thing?"

"This is my second life," replied Zhen Biyi. "In my past life, I had a fortunate encounter that allowed me to learn the truth. So, I purposely performed horribly in my last Heaven Will Battle, and before my death, I tried to enter Samsara to remove my status as a clone.

"Unfortunately, I failed. What"s worse, in this generation, I acquired the Five Element Balance Physique–which further increases my connection to the main body."

"So, the Five Heart Emperor cultivates the Five Element Dao?"

"Yes, along with all the clones."

"Do you think it is such a coincidence that you can learn the truth about your status?" asked w.a.n.g Wei.

"I"m perfectly aware that someone or something is manipulating me so I can become the Karmic Backlash of her action. However, I don"t care as long as I can get my freedom."

"So, how strong is she?"

"Based on my last reincarnation, she had ascended to 40% of the Grand Dao Source."

"40%? Even if you count that not all the clones will prove the Dao in each generation, this is still a high number. So, she must have been in the lower dimension for a very long time."

"Most definitely."

"So, what do you want me to do?" asked w.a.n.g Wei despite guessing her intention.

"I cannot prove the Dao in this generation; otherwise, my fate will be the same as the others. So, only an Eternal Emperor could negotiate with her to grant me my freedom."

"So, why did you choose me?"

"Not just you. I have secretly helped quite a few individuals hoping one day they can help me. Even Lin Fan"s Slaughter Trial Token came indirectly from me.

"It"s a shame he died so quickly before I could even give him some hint about his trial."

Zhen Biyu sighed. Because she needs to hide from the main body, this part of her soul has to be in constant sleep, only waking up between intervals. So, she did not have a chance to reveal the truth to Lin Fan and warn him about the trial.

"Did you invest in Di Tian as well?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"I don"t have a way to help him. Plus, I feel he is one of these cruel people who do not care about repaying Karma."

w.a.n.g Wei did not comment on this statement; he did not know Di Tian well enough to comment on his character. So, he sipped his tea before asking:

"Do you think a single Innate treasure is enough to make me the enemy of a powerful Emperor?"

"Can you honestly say the Cube did not help you in the slightest with pa.s.sing the trial?" she responded.

w.a.n.g Wei could not deny this fact. He did not know whether Heavenly Dao could foresee his [Future Budha Self] calculations. Nevertheless, he had begun to develop a severe form of paranoia, which the cube dealt with.

If it were not for it, his state of mind would not be at his best, and who knows if he could pa.s.s the trial in such a condition. He knew for sure Zhen Chao would take full advantage of his paranoia during their fight, and who knows if he would be able to react the way he did when he met Empyrean Black Heart.

"I cannot give you an answer for now."

"That"s fine," replied Zhen Biyu before handing him a talisman to personally contact her when he made a decision. So, after asking her for some more tea and briefly chatting with her, w.a.n.g Wei left.

On his journey home, he felt the power of tribulation from where he came from, so w.a.n.g Wei knew Zhen Biyu underwent her Void Shattering Realm Tribulation not long after he left.

Back home, w.a.n.g Wei went to see his mother before returning to his mountain.

"Did you meet the Dusk Emperor?" asked Wu Hong the moment she laid eyes on him.

"I did. How did you know?"

"I sensed their presence."

"Did you know them?"

"Yes," she replied with a slight reminisce. "The Dusk Emperor is the only person who became a Boundless Paragon without first becoming an Eternal Emperor or an Everlasting Empyrean."

"That sounds amazing. But why do I feel you knew them on a more personal level?"

"I did. The cultivation world is still male-dominated despite how cultivation can level the playing field. So, many of the female Emperors grouped together to protect each other.

"So, when I first ascended, the Dusk Emperor, your Ancestor, the Sword Empress, and many others protected me to allow me to grow.

"Back then, although the True Devil was eradicated, there were still a few of his remains. And these people did not like what I did to the Devil race in the lower dimension.

"Luckily, the ladies protected me, or my life would have been more miserable."

"It"s good to have any form of support in this cold and cruel world of cultivation," said w.a.n.g Wei before hugging her. Then, he changed the subject by telling her about the conversation with Zhen Biyu.

"What do you think?"
