Chapter 1011 Rediscover Yourself

1011 Rediscover Yourself

"What opportunity? We are already on thin ice with him. Do you want to destroy our race?"

"I"m not telling you to attack him. But we can do something."

"..."

"The sea has been our domain since the beginning of time. We stayed outside the affairs of the Earth-dwellers, and they ignored us - that"s how things have always been. But now, they have invaded our domain. Can we just accept this?"

"I"m not happy about this situation either. But once again, what can we do? You saw his power."

"Now that he"s weakened, isn"t it an opportunity?"

"You"re not stupid enough not to see this as bait, right?"

"Of course, but this does not change the situation. The chapters is up by N0vEI__bin

We can act in the shadows, preparing a sacrificial p.a.w.n if things go wrong."

"...I still think we"re playing with fire."

"Like I said, we do not need to act directly and use a proxy. As long as we prepare for plausible deniability, we will be fine. Anyway, he won"t detect anything for a while in his current state."

"...Alright, let"s do it."

A few days later:

w.a.n.g Wei received an unexpected visitor to the court. He walked out of his room to see someone waiting for him.

"Mom?"

"What"s this I hear that you"re injured?" asked Yu Yan.

"What are you talking about?"

"News has spread to the entire world that you"re severely injured. Some rumors even say you might not survive for long and might enter limbo. Wait, you didn"t know? Can anything escape your eyes in this world? So, you"re really injured?"

She rushed to hold him.

"I"m indeed injured, but you don"t have to worry."

"I thought nothing could happen to you in the lower dimension."

"The world is so vast and full of wonders. Even my strength cannot be said to be invincible," replied w.a.n.g Wei calmly.

"How can you do something so dangerous? You have responsibilities; you can"t act recklessly anymore," Yu Yan warned. "Do you need anything to heal?"

"Don"t worry, I already prepared everything beforehand," replied w.a.n.g Wei as he locked arms with her. "Let"s go on a walk. I have something to say to you."

"Why so serious?"

w.a.n.g Wei did not explain and led her to the Star Sky Universe above the court. A golden light served as their pathway, leading them past countless planets and stars. As they pa.s.sed countless wonders of the cosmos, the sight was otherworldly.

"I"m going to be rude and blunt, so I apologize beforehand," said w.a.n.g Wei.

"Now, you"re scaring me."

w.a.n.g Wei locked his palm with hers, "You need to rediscover yourself."

"What are you talking about?"

"For a long time, your life was evolving around me or father. Your entire role or personality was that of a proud mother and dutiful wife. As a result, you"ve forgotten or placed your dreams or goals at the back of the line."

Yu Yan suddenly stopped, and w.a.n.g Wei followed too.

"It"s time to think about yourself first, be selfish, and consider what you want for the future."

"Is there anything wrong with wanting to protect our family? To ensure that we"re always together?" she asked in a low voice.

"Of course not. But you have to understand the concept of balance. I have my pursuit of absolute freedom. Father wants to see the pinnacle of swordsmans.h.i.+p and beyond, and Grandfather has his own aspirations and drive. Only yours revolved around the family."

w.a.n.g Wei paused and gave her some time to process the news.

"I always wanted to prove the Dao and revive the Yu Clan."

"That"s a good starting point, but it"s not enough.

By the next generation, you can accomplish this goal. What will you do next? Our family will be separated for some time, and I fear something might happen to you if you don"t have spiritual sustenance."

Yu Yan has been worrying about this, too. Soon, her son will ascend and fight in a terrible war in the upper dimension; she won"t be able to see, speak, or know any information about him.

Grandpa will reincarnate, leaving only her and her husband.

Luckily, she would be busy with the affairs of the Heavenly Court to distract her, but there is always the possibility of something going wrong after not seeing everybody at the same table for too long.

"You"re a talented cultivator with a brilliant mind.

Don"t let t.i.tles like mother and wife be the restraints that bind you."

Yu Yan exhaled deeply, "What do you think I should do?"

"That"s not something I can tell you. I recommend you walk around the world, self-introspect from when you were a mortal to your current self.

Think about your hobbies, personality, desires, and everything else unique about yourself. Then, dream big - don"t be afraid to devise an absurd goal."

"Alright." Yu Yan kissed him on the cheek before leaving. She randomly teleported to somewhere and began walking on her journey of

self-discovery. w.a.n.g Wei watched her with a smile. He had wanted to have this talk to his mother for a while and prepared to talk to her either right before or after she proved the Dao.

Now that the situation was dealt with, he felt relieved.

"What happened?" he asked in the empty air.

"The Sea Race released the news. They plan for the still disgruntled devil cultivators to release the information to foreign world communities," replied the clone.

"So, they are the ones who jumped out. I guess I should not be surprised." The Xenophobia of the sea race was too strong. Normally, w.a.n.g Wei would have left them alone. Sadly, the ocean was a dent of treasure and resources, and he had to manage it.

"They"re not the only ones."

"Oh, who else?"

"The..."

"Them? Does she know?"

"No."

"Interesting. It seems we have someone else to bleed," smiled w.a.n.g Wei with a sense of schadenfreude.

"What do you want to do?"

"Let things play out," he replied calmly. "Anyway, it"s about time for our foreign expansion, and if someone catches the bait, their worlds will be a safe and secure place to begin."

"Alright, but there is something else."

"What is it?"

"An opportunity?"

"Where?"

"The Origin Weapon Mountain."

"You can proceed as you see fit," said main w.a.n.g Wei. He was not feeling well; his current state reminded him of when he was sick back on Earth.

At first, the feeling was interesting because of its novelty. But now, the feeling of constant weakness and aching was annoying. So, he ended the conversation and returned to his healing.

Southern Vermillion Bird Continent:

Yu Yan appeared in a forest and used her Divine Sense to find direction. Soon, she found the nearest mortal civilization and decided first to eat something.

As she looked at the food before her, she realized many things. First, she had not come to the southern continent in a long time; to be precise, she had not left the central continent of her own volition, probably ever since she was pregnant.

She went to the Western Continent because of her son, and she wished to travel to the South when w.a.n.g Wei infiltrated the Origin Pill Dao Sect. During that time, she feared for his safety and wanted to see and protect him secretly.

The second major realization was regarding food.

In the past few million years, she was the main cook for her family and only tasted food made by a few people: her husband, son, daughter-in-law, and the last meal before her mother died.

In her youth, before she met w.a.n.g Tian and was his compet.i.tor, she also enjoyed traveling and tasting the food of different continents. But, after an unknown time, her world shrunk, revolving around a few people.

Yu Yan sighed before eating the food; she found it a little too greasy, but the taste was unique enough to catch her attention. Finally, she tasted the tea but paused after one sip.

She remembered she never liked tea. Her father and mother forced her to learn the tea ceremony since it was a deep part of the world"s culture.

She remembered how she had to lie about her favorite tea, how these Heaven Chosen would go to extreme lengths to get her "favorite" tea as a way to impress her.

After marriage, she would say her favorite was either her husband"s or son"s favorite or use any random name that popped into her head.

"Server, give me another drink." Yu Yan changed her drink as she observed the surroundings. Once she finished, she continued her journey, going from one restaurant to another, one mortal civilization to the next.

On one of her trips, she ended up in a colosseum to watch a battle between mortal and cultivator- something that has become common in the lower tier of the world.

She did not care for the fight but focused on the fact it was a battle between a saberwielder and a swordsman. During her Luck Trial, she learned about Saber Dao to counter w.a.n.g Tian. Her talent was decent, but she did not pursue such a path.

"Did I like the saber?" Yu Yan asked herself. The answer is no, but she also could not wonder what her life would have been had she not given up.

"Husband is a supreme swordsman, and the wife is an overlord saberwielder? That would have been interesting."

She shook her head before continuing her journey.
