Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

1141 Reward

Wang Wei clenched his fists and immediately noticed the change, and he was not talking about glistening his skin but the strength of his fleshly body.

'Dragon-Phoenix Realm 6th step,' he thought. Moreover, he was at the peak of this realm. If not for the bottleneck that exists between the 6th and 7th steps, he would have reached a higher level. However, he did not care. He will use his wife's seal to deal with that bottleneck - just as he did for the 4th step and how he will do for the 10th step.

'Next is my soul.' Wang Wei closed his eyes as he sensed the changes in his Paragon Soul. 'It probably increases from being on par with 91 to 92 Grand Dao Source to 93-94 Grand Dao Source, which should be excellent news.'

According to his theory, since Empyreans need to cultivate or condense a Paragon Soul to enter the next realm, individual and independent soul cultivation will be required from now on in the Paragon Realm. There is even the possibility that soul quality will return to the equation again. So, if his guess is correct, he won't have to worry about his soul until his cultivation reaches 94% Grand Dao Source.

"Next is the Taboo Realm." Wang Wei focused on his [Dao Body], which could now be called [Perfect Dao Body], and activated his [Awakening]. As soon as his first palace appeared, he noticed the difference. Unlike how it looked before, the palace now had a monument with 13 circles, each containing a lotus inside.

'Circle represents wholeness and completeness - also a symbol for perfection. Lotuses symbolize purity, enlightenment, and spiritual perfection. Then, there is the number 13.'

All other nine palaces had the same monument, but after the 10th was condensed, Wang Wei briefly saw an illusory 11th before dissipating. Moreover, he felt the palaces were not more connected than before.

'Could it be that something will happen after I condense all 12? No, it should be after condensing the 13th.' He smiled as he could not wait. He used all his Grand Dao Boosts, and his strength rapidly increased: 67%...68%...69%...69.9%...70%.

Wang Wei felt he had broken a barrier, entering a new field of power, strength, and confidence. The feeling was unlike when he used the Illusory Pill, as this was his own power. He was no longer on the near orgasmic sensation of having this much power since he was used to it and continued analyzing his strength.

'I was right. The Perfect Foundation's purpose was not to grant me Taboo Battle Realm - that was just a byproduct. Its main purpose is to increase my chances of becoming Half-Step Transcendence and even ensure I am the best amongst my peers once I reach that realm,' Wang Wei analyzed, his eyes twinkling with wisdom.

'The Taboo Battle Realm also has its purpose besides granting people high battle prowess,' he thought, sensing everything in his battle. 'The foundation added [perfection] to my [Existence], and the Taboo Battle Realm also added something. However, it's not completely formed yet, meaning I most likely need to achieve it in the Empyrean and Paragon Realm before completion.

'And once that is done, there is a high chance that it will either help me achieve Half-Step Transcendence or be useful afterward.'

Wang Wei believed that the Taboo Battle Realm was a checkpoint Grand Dao created for the path of Half-Step Transcendence. He even believed that the minimum requirement to achieve it is Paragon Realm, and the person must be willing to walk a similar path as Heavenly Book Paragon that involves abandoning most of their powers or placing themselves in a weakened or vulnerable state for an extended period (not necessarily need to reincarnate). Such a method was the orthodox path - which requires a lot of time and effort - while his was a shortcut that can even be considered cheating.

Wang Wei focused back on his strength. 'I can feel that this is not my limit.' He continued to add his Grand Dao Boost with expert control of his Dao Imprint. So, his strength increased: 70.1%...70.5%...70.7%...70.9%...70.999%.

'I've hit another limit?' Wang Wei thought. He felt all his boosts could get him even more power - especially since he already had entered a new level in his Force Control skill, [Pseudo True Heavenly Dao Control]. He finally made a breakthrough with his experience watching that new world becoming a Heaven Will and directly controlling the True Heavenly Dao Will during the transformation.

'No, my Dao Imprint can no longer stack these boosts.' He stopped not because of any restraint or limitations directly from Heaven and Earth but because of his lack of skill. However, this was bad news for Wang Wei because he had reached the limit of using his Dao Imprint. He has plenty of time during his retreat due to not having to cultivate his Dao, so his focus is usually on his body or his Dao Imprint.

'Let's put that experiment about having two Dao Imprints at the forefront.'

The good news is Wang Wei believes that after entering the Empyrean Realm, he will not have to update his Grand Dao Boosts, except for maybe things like his weapons. And with all his advantages, he might instantly reach the 10-fold strength, which is 89% Grand Dao Source, and maybe even directly enter the Taboo Realm due to his Perfect Foundation.

Wang Wei smiled brightly, releasing his 'perfect' temperament. He shook his head about the irony that one of his greatest opponents pursued perfection all his life to the point of almost ruining his relationship, but he achieved it way before him. He continued his inspection, focusing on his newly acquired abilities.

He realized the [Nothingness] contained in his bloodline did not change much, but his new body allowed him to better resist its corruptions. 'So, I might be able to create a technique that taps into a small power of the third stage: Emptiness.' Wang Wei was satisfied with this result, so his focus shifted to his Three Flowers Abilities.

The first test was the [Spirit Flower]. Wang Wei closed his eyes to access his Soul Network. He saw two layers, one on top and one on the bottom, and the one at the top was vast and expansive. He quickly checked, and as he expected, he could now access the network of the upper dimension.

Wang Wei immediately tried to use it, and he had a massive headache, forcing him to stop. 'It seems I still need to ascend to fully use it.' However, this was not the end of this ability as it had another upgrade - he could hide his presence from Paragons.

Wang Wei knew this technique would become useless because the parasites would definitely be able to sense his activities, but now, he no longer had this worry. As long as Maitreya can keep Supreme Unity busy, he can use this ability to plot the upper dimension's rebellion.

'It's the perfect method to scheme things from the shadows.'

With a smirk, Wang Wei focused on his [Qi Flower]. He thought this thing would increase his ability to condense Qi, and in some sense, it did, but not as a result of an upgrade. His upgrade was actually a guide, similar to GPS, to navigate the Source Qi Space.

'In other words, this ability can help me search for any Qi I want and navigate me to them. No, it's too powerful; there must be some limitations.'As expected, Tier 11 Qi or above has a low probability of being detected, and there should be a limitation to those extremely rare energies.

'Moreover, even if I knew where these Qi were, I assumed they would have the corresponding danger.' Despite this limitation, he was satisfied as he could search for some powerful Qi to leave the Dao Opening Sect before leaving. He then focused on his [Essence Flower].

'Hmm? The ability has not evolved at all? This should not be it. Wait, what's this?' As Wang Wei concentrated his mind, he discovered his body contained two doors, and one of them was already open.

'The Gate of Ascension.' The name instantly appeared in his mind after his eyes landed on him. 'So, in the process of making me perfect, my body recreated the first Gate of the True Power Dao Realm?'

As Wang Wei sensed this new gate, his body felt a sense of accomplishment - a sense of perfection. Although this word was cliche, that's how he felt. He previously thought he had absolute control over his body, but now, he knew that was not true.

He previously had 99.99% control of his body, and more importantly, he believed that number was perfection. But with the appearance of the Gate of Ascension, he truly achieved 100%.

'There is also an ability called [Invisible Will Armor].' He could feel an invisible armor condensed from his Willpower Manifestation always surrounding them, serving as his first layer of defense. Its power was excellent, and more importantly, it was a passive ability that used no energy or stamina.
