Chapter 1282  Transcendent Technique

Wang Wei observed with a frown. However, after waiting for a few seconds, nothing else happened. ‘That’s it?’ he thought. ‘Did he only act to save her luck? He doesn’t want to die? But why didn’t he save Blood Dragon?’ Myriad thoughts flashed in his mind, analyzing the situation.

‘It could be he acted because Blood Dragon just died. Without strong luck to support, that woman won’t last long. There is also the possibility there is something special about her among the other parasites, so Supreme Unity wants her to stay alive.’

This analysis made sense, but he could not think of anything that made Five Feathers special. Her phoenix race was rare, but not to the point of being valued by a Half-Step Transcendent.

‘So, unless I’m missing something, he might have just acted to prevent her eventual death since these people are still useful,’ Wang Wei analyzed. ‘However, I should still research more about Five Feathers in case she is indeed special, but I don’t know.’

Wang Wei squinted. It did not matter that Five Feather’s luck had not completely collapsed. With his mastery of Luck Dao, such a weak Qi Luck Dragon is not different than a collapsed one. Once he deals with her, he’ll use it to his advantage.

He turned around, about to leave; it was time for him to plunder. However, Wang Wei noticed the destruction around him. They had destroyed more than half of the Ubiquitous Hotspring World. Everything was in a state of void and chaos. Wang Wei saw the whale of the trillions of people — both mortals and cultivators — who died in the aftermath of their battles.

He saw the remnant of Dao Path’s cultivators’ Inner World. He noticed the scattered Immortal Qi or Immortal Path cultivators. He even detected the residual Dao Rhyme of Emperor Path cultivators, who were the only ones who survived this catastrophe since they could revive themselves.

Wang Wei shook his head. He tried to bring Five Feathers to a desolate place far away from the Heavenly Beauty Palace and away from life. Sadly, the destructing nature of Paragons was too great. It’s a miracle the entire world was not destroyed. Of course, Wang Wei knew it would have been best to fight in the Nine Heaven Desolate Realm, which was the Eternal Ascension World’s version of the Void Battlefield created especially for Paragons.

However, he does not think he can convince Five Feathers to follow him, nor does he have the strength to force her there. He guessed if he asked her to fight there, that cruel woman might think he cared about ordinary people’s lives and cause even more destruction.

‘Hmm? It’s already healing?’ Wang Wei noticed that the time anomalies created by techniques and the chaotic void were being repaired at an alarming speed. Additionally, the special laws of the Ubiquitous Hotspring World that allowed it to give birth to unique hot springs were also being repaired at an alarming rate.

‘It seems this hot spring world is a protected area,’ Wang Wei thought as a sudden realization dawned on him. There are many unique spaces in the Eternal Ascension World, but with how destructive cultivators are, it’s odd how these areas survived since the dawn of time. The answer is they are protected areas, meaning Heavenly Dao will pay special attention to them and even repair them after destruction.

‘That also explained why the entire thing was not destroyed,’ Wang Wei thought. Their battle intensity was enough to destroy this area, but only half suffered. As a protected area, it’s apparent that the Ubiquitous Hotspring Area received special treatment from Heavenly Dao, allowing it to suppress the effect of any world-destroying battles.

‘Did Xun Junyao know about this, and that’s why she chose this place for her banquet?’ Wang Wei believed she did as the location of any plan is a significant part. She must have prepared in case Blood Dragon escaped or someone came to rescue him.

‘Her plan was perfect until the execution. She could not control herself and started acting like a villain by telling her plan, motive, and background, which in turn delayed until someone came to save Blood Dragon,’ Wang Wei analyzed while shaking his head.

‘Her intelligence is probably close to or on par with a Dao Overlord. However, she lacked our absolute over our emotions and, more importantly, our flaws.’

After observing Xun Junyao briefly, he could tell her mental state was flawed. The worst part is that she knows it but does not know how not to reveal it to others or prevent others from using it against her. That alone disqualified her as a Dao Overlord — even a Dao Lord.

Wang Wei shook his head and no longer focused on Xun Junyao. He quickly calculated whether he could receive some merit if he accelerated the recovery of this world, and the answer was negative since he was the one who contributed to its destruction. So, he left, returning to the Heavenly Beauty Palace.

“Not bad,” Wu Hong said, nodding in satisfaction. “I’ll give you 8 of 10 for a score.”

“Why not a perfect score?” Wang Wei asked.

“Your opponent was so weak, but you took so long, so that’s minus one. Lastly, you’re obviously not prepared enough for battles at the Paragon Level.”

“Of course, I’m not ready,” Wang Wei rolled his eyes. He had no plan to fight these parasites now, but this woman made him do it. Wu Hong’s actions reminded him of parents who pushed their children into a river so they could learn how to swim in a moment of life and death.

“Life is full of ups and downs, so we can never be prepared for everything. I’m sure you know this,’ Wu Hong replied, not taking responsibility for her actions whatsoever.

Wang Wei stared at her before sighing. “Do you have any spirit healing pill? That backlash was truly nasty.”

“Treating me like a bank, aren’t we?” Wu Hong stared at him before summoning a green pill.

“Isn’t your love language gift-giving? I’m just helping you express yourself,” Wang Wei replied with a smirk as he held the pill. He recognized it as a Supreme Chaos Pill, not a Paragon Pill. However, this pill could have been refined by a Paragon since, unlike the lower dimension, there are countless methods of refining Innate Pills in the Eternal Ascension World.

“Once again, you’re getting too comfortable, aren’t you?”

“No, I just refuse to deny the natural sparks between us,” Wang Wei replied.

“I’m not denying anything,” Wu Hong replied calmly. “I just choose rational thinking to prevent trouble down the line.”

“That’s fair,” Wang Wei nodded. He did not swallow the pill but placed it on his forehead. The pill entered his Sea of Consciousness and immediately started releasing these blue lights that enveloped everywhere, including his soul and spirit.

“That’s better,” Wang Wei groaned softly.

“Why are you here? Shouldn’t you be somewhere, plundering?”

“I sense a unique opportunity in this place, so I return.”

“Oh?” Wu Hong scanned the Heavenly Beauty Palace. “Is that it?” She showed a projection of a room, and Wang Wei squinted. He saw Old Man Tianji sitting cross-legged and the River of Fate materializing above his head, releasing an unknown power into his body.

Then, something terrifying occurred. Old Man Tianji’s cultivation was rapidly increasing. In just a few seconds, his Empyrean Soul turned into a Paragon Soul, and after a few more seconds, his soul power quantity reached the Paragon Level.

However, this was not even the end. His cultivation suddenly broke the bottleneck and entered 90% Grand Dao Source, but that was not the end. It kept increasing to 91%…92%….

“Wait, why does it feel like some of this power belongs to me?” Wang Wei did not doubt his intuition and immediately summoned his Baxian Turtle Shell to use as a medium to take the power that belonged to him. However, he frowned as he realized power became significantly diluted once it reached him.

“The rest of the power seems to belong to Xun Junyao,” Wu Hong commented, and with a wave of her finger, she also took it. Old Man Tianji opened his eyes and sighed. With that power, he could have reached 94%, but since these people acted, he only reached the peak of 92%.

However, he was okay with it as he had anticipated. Although he hoped it would not happen, but knew the chances were low given Wang Wei’s terrifying affinity with Fate Dao.

“I know this power,” Wang Wei commented. “It’s the same when I changed the fate of the lower dimension and used it to boost my cultivation. Except, this one is a billion times more potent.’

“That’s a transcendent technique,” Wu Hong said with a serious face. “By participating in world-changing events and altering the fate of someone or an entire world, he can condense this pure fate power with all kinds of effects. “After participating in an event that killed a Paragon that controlled one-tenth of a world’s luck and injuring another, his cultivation can reach such a terrifying level in an instant.”

The room was instantly quiet. Wu Hong and Wang Wei knew how terrifying such a technique was. With the strength, how easy was it to influence an entire world? How about killing Paragon? With such a technique, it’s easy to imagine how terrifying the force behind it is. The number of Paragons must be astronomical.

“Are those two so powerful?” Wang Wei asked.

“No,” Wu Hong replied with absolute certainty. “This event has proven to me there is a vast difference in strength between people in their realm. The difference might be larger than a peak Boundless Paragon and a mortal. We made the right choice not to settle for these incomplete methods.”
