1027 The Swallowing Zone's Secret
Wang Wei headed directly to the Swallowing Zone. He did not hesitate to enter since he had already made all the necessary preparations. Since he did not hide his presence, he sensed the sights looking in his direction but did not care. The people of the world have acquiesced to the fact it was his responsibility to deal with these Forbidden Lands, and thus, the rewards or benefits also belonged to him.
As soon as he entered, he sensed the terrifying swallowing or devouring power that wanted to swallow his flesh, blood, soul, and even his Grand Dao Source. He looked around and saw a world of endless darkness with scattered light spots resembling far-away stars in the night sky.
Wang Wei observed his surroundings and swiftly noticed two things: Firstly, the swallowing power in this place was so intense that a normal Eternal Emperor would have their senses affected. However, that was the extent of this place's power.
Secondly, this place had many seals to prevent the devouring power from reaching the Myriad Emperor World. Based on his observation, some of these seals were ancient, probably dating back to the Null Era, if not before.
He sensed something and headed in that direction. The closer he was to what he sensed, the more intense the power of devouring. However, by the time he reached the center, the devouring power was about 25 to 30% Grand Dao Source, and Wang Wei knew why.
Wang Wei detected a potent seal that would make him sweat even at his peak. In other words, this seal was enough to deal with him unless he used the Illusory Pill Sutra.
At the very center was a tree made of light, and it appeared to be growing an emaciated green apple. Wang Wei looked at it but did not immediately recognize it, so he directly divined the answer. However, he encountered some resistance.
'This thing's essence is higher than mine?' he thought with shining eyes before activating all his powers. A vision of the River of Fate manifested above him, along with the appearance of his ten Fate Palaces.
"The Genesis Fruit?" he muttered. According to his calculations, this fruit was an Empyrean Spirit Herb that could morph into most resources of the same tier.
"Interesting ability," he thought, thinking how to use it. He could turn it into something that helps him open the Gate of Power. A second viable option would be to use it to wash away his karma. Wang Wei had noticed that his memories from Primordial Chaos after the events on Earth contained immense karma, hence why he has not directly removed his seal and accessed his memories. Instead, he chose to deal with the karma before proceeding slowly.
His Karma Unbound Physique has been crucial in the process, but the appropriate Empyrean Spiritual Herb would be very beneficial.
"No, the best way to use this thing is the major bottleneck between the Great Emperor and Empyrean Realm."
From what his ancestor - Yan Hai - said, even talented individuals like her and Wu Hong must spend a significant amount of time and effort trying to get through. He will face the same situation, especially if he wants to become an Everlasting Empyrean.
He could use merit to deal with the bottleneck, but that would take too much; it would be better to use the merit to continue to cultivate in the Empyrean Realm. His chances of reaching more than 70% of the Grand Dao Source would increase if he did not have to do so.
'If I want to enter the Empyrean Realm before ascending, I cannot waste much time in this bottleneck. So, the best use of this fruit is in that direction. However, there is still a major issue-how to ripen it.'
Although it took some effort, Wang Wei was able to divine this tree's origin and history successfully. During the Innate-Acquired War, True Heavenly Dao was way more lenient regarding certain things or regulations; in other words, certain things that would never be tolerated today would be granted a pass during that period.
Both the acquired and innate lives in the upper dimension took advantage of this opportunity and smuggled certain things into the lower dimension. Wang Wei even guessed this was how Old Man Nether had successfully sneaked into the lower dimension.
