Chapter 746 Immortal Runes

"Jian Wushuang is now completely healed," said w.a.n.g Ju. "However, it seems he has no desire to compete in this generation."

"It makes sense. He lost too much time and is way behind the others. Furthermore, it will not be easy to heal such a broken Dao Heart," commented w.a.n.g Wei. "Did anything happen to the Spirit Genesis Sect? Or our people in the Commerce Hub and other World Communities?"

"No, everything has been peaceful recently: we now have a stable foothold in the Commerce Hub. However, the other groups do not want us to reach the core of power, so they"ve restricted our actions."

"It doesn"t matter. With the stable foothold, I can overthrow the entire table and forcefully take over," said w.a.n.g Wei with a sneer, revealing his late-stage capitalist mentality. "Anything else?"

"The last thing to report is there have been three auspicious signs in the past 200,000 years. One was from Great Elder Yan Liling, the other from the Di Clan and the Great Talisman City."

"Tong Ruobing? What has she been to?"

"She made an Immortal Talisman," said a beautiful voice. w.a.n.g Wei looked over and saw Yan Liling walking in the hall.

"Oh, so a similar situation must have happened with Talisman Masters all over the world."

Yan Liling shook his head, "The Great Talisman City refused to acknowledge the truth. They most likely want Tong Ruobing to keep the news as a surprise in the final battle."

"Is that so?" muttered. "This generation is truly a Glorious Age: two talents who achieved something all professions have been a pursuit for countless eras."

"Indeed."

"What"s wrong?" asked w.a.n.g Wei, who felt her voice contained some weird emotions.

"I used the special array from the ancestors to condense Immortal Qi to make the Immortal Pill. Although I had to design the formula and divine runes, the most significant reason for my success was the Immortal Qi. My method is not universal, hence the reason I have not made it public to gather merit.

"However, Tong Ruobing should not have access to that array. And having an Immortal Venerable gather Immortal Qi for her is not enough to create an Immortal Tier Talisman."

w.a.n.g Wei gave her a weird look as he guessed the strange emotion was envy and compet.i.tive nature; Yan Liling did not want to lose to Tong Ruobing in her achievement.

"Our spies gathered some scattered aura when her Immortal Talisman underwent Tribulation," continued Yan Liling as she handed him a talisman. "Over the years, I have theorized how she made the talisman, but I wanted your opinion to confirm."

w.a.n.g Wei used his Divine Sense to sense the aura from the talisman. "There is a small aura similar to Emperor Artifact." Although it was feint, he could detect it.

"Her method is probably similar to how most Emperor creates an artifact. She made a Talisman Embryo before borrowing the power of an Emperor Artifact to elevate from the Quasi-Emperor Tier to the Immortal Tier."

"That"s what I thought," said Yan Liling with squinted eyes.

"Tong Ruobing is truly a talent," commented w.a.n.g Wei with admiration. After learning some of his ideas from Wu Meng, she seemed to have opened her mind and begun to think from outside of the box; in other words, she was not limited by the thinking logic of the people of this world.

"She"s not better than me," said Yan Liling. 

"Oh, did you think of countermeasures to make your method more universal?"

"Yes," replied Yan Liling. "I"ve begun the study of Immortal Runes: the purpose of these runes is to turn Innate Qi into Immortal Qi so that all professions can create Immortal Tier creations."

"Ambitious," said w.a.n.g Wei with brilliant eyes. "Although less than five  people in each generation will have the talent to portray these Immortal Runes, the creation of such a system is enough to grant you the t.i.tle of Dan Ancestor."

w.a.n.g Wei"s statistics were wrong: it would be a blessing to have someone in every five generations have the talent to use Immortal Runes. However, if his new era is as brilliant as he envisioned, the Myriad Emperor World"s destiny will drastically increase, thus giving birth to more geniuses every generation.

Regardless, he was right about Yan Liling"s capability of receiving the t.i.tle of [Dan Ancestors] as her Immortal Runes are not less of an accomplishment than the Danyuan Emperor"s creation of Divine Runes.

"To be honest, I have even bigger hopes for the Immortal Runes," said Yan Liling with a smile.

"Oh? Do tell," replied w.a.n.g Wei; he was quite intrigued."

"I hope the Immortal Runes could resonate with the Source Qi s.p.a.ce and summon Immortal Qi to temper the pills."

w.a.n.g Wei squinted his eyes.

"What do you think? Is it feasible?"

"I don"t know," he said with a sigh. "In the upper dimension, it"s normal for Quasi-Emperors to find ways to become Immortal Venerable or Dao Ancestors without the aid of a Great Emperor.

"However, things are different in the lower dimension. And since your Immortal Runes involved Immortal Qi, True Heavenly Dao might not allow it to happen."

"But I should have a chance, right?" continued Yan Liling. "True Heavenly Dao has become less strict because of the current situation. Furthermore, you told us the Pursuong Longevity World has an Immortal Source, so it"s not Immortal Qi is completely banned in the lower dimension."

"You"re right, and I"m not trying to dissuade you. I just want you to realize this path will not be easy," nodded w.a.n.g Wei.

"I never thought it would: as long I have a chance, I would pursue it."

"Good. Let me see your preliminary research," asked w.a.n.g Wei, and Yan Liling gave him an Information Transmission Talisman. The research on the Immortal Runes turning Innate Qi into Immortal Qi is proceeding smoothly due to the Miscellaneous Emperor"s array. 

Although it is far from the success stage, things are proceeding smoothly. However, things cannot be said to be the same for one related to the Source Qi s.p.a.ce.

"Do you need Innate Qi?" he asked.

"No, the ancestors provided them to me for my research."

"That"s good. After becoming Emperor, we will explore the Source Qi s.p.a.ce to see if your research can succeed."

"I had the same idea."

"How is the Automatic Pill Cauldron?"

"I"ve basically succeeded," replied Yan Liling. "The cauldron can refine pills from the lowest Profound Tier to Quasi-Emperor. I began my research on the Immortal Runes because I wanted to upgrade it to be able to refine Immortal Pills."

"Excellent," nodded w.a.n.g Wei with satisfaction; he was happy with Yan Liling"s talent and accomplishment. Although he was also an Alchemist, he only cultivated it as an auxiliary Dao.

"With the merit from the cauldron and the Immortal Rune, Liling should be able to condense a Golden Body of Merit–just like mom," thought w.a.n.g Wei, pondering about the Merit Proving Dao Method.

"You should not give up on perfecting the Innate Pill Technique. After all, Innate Pills are on par with Emperor Pills," he added.

However, Yan Liling shook her head, "You created that technique, so you should complete it. The merit should be enough to benefit you." She understood that w.a.n.g Wei allowed her to finish that technique because he wanted her to have merit and ensure her future cultivation.

However, she no longer lacks ways to gather merit, so he should use it on himself.

"Alright. I guess I can no longer be lazy," nodded w.a.n.g Wei. "By the way, where is Li Jun?" He sent someone to call him, but he had not arrived yet, which was odd. "Is he still in retreat?"

"He went to see his son," replied Yan Liling.

"I thought he wanted to leave them sealed until after the battle?"

"The final battle is dangerous, and anything can happen. So, he wanted to see them just in case."

"That"s not a bad idea," he muttered. In this glorious generation, anything can happen. So, he won"t relax or be careful until he holds the Heaven Will in his hand and absorbs it.

"Are you jealous?" asked w.a.n.g Wei with a smile.

"Do you think it"s wise to poke at my sore spot?" reb.u.t.ted Yan Liling with a speechless look. However, w.a.n.g Wei only chuckled.

"If you"re jealous, you can have a little one of your own after becoming Emperor: give birth to an Emperor Child for the sect."

Yan Liling was even more speechless, "With our current cultivation, it"s already a statistical improbability to have children–let alone after we become Emperor."

"Don"t worry. I will bless you with the fate of having children. If you guys plan it at the right time when the generation is changing, you should have a higher chance of conceiving."

"Is that possible?" asked Yan Liling.

"Although not guaranteed success, it should increase your chances," replied w.a.n.g Wei with excitement in his eyes.

"Why do you seem happier than me?" 

"According to my plan, I won"t have children until I reach beyond the Dao. If it"s a daughter, I plan to spoil her. But if it"s a son, I will train him with the harshest method possible," explained w.a.n.g Wei with brilliant eyes.

"So, I need to practice on how to spoil my daughter. Plus, I always wanted to be the fun and doting uncle."

Yan Liling did not know how to answer, so she only shook her head with a wry smile.
