1197 A System of Conformity
[AN: I've retconned the previous chapter. Wang Wei is still in the second level of the Golden Body of Merit.]
----
The Grand Dao Source manifested before Wang Wei, and he calmly watched his Dao Imprint change. There were more runes, and the imprint was embedded deeper into his Dao, but all the changes had occurred on a surface level.
'It's harder to detect and erase,' Wang Wei thought. 'More importantly, it now has the ability of [Motion].' Before dying, all Empyreans could activate [Motion], and their Dao Imprint would detach them from their Dao and move around the Grand Dao Source, making it harder for anyone to find it and kill them.
Everlasting Empyreans do not have to use this ability since it's passive for them actively. It will immediately activate as long as their bodies and souls dissipate or stop working.
Wang Wei then summoned his Dao Will, feeling the slight change in essence. He could now suppress lower-tier Dao Wills or even render them useless. Now that the Dao Imprint had strengthened, the Dao Will followed since one of its primary purposes was to grant Eternals and Everlasting an advantage over the lower Emperor Class.
"[Zoning]," Wang Wei muttered. His Dao Will gained this new ability to counter the [Motion], which allowed his will to search for a person's Dao Imprint in the vast sea that is the Grand Dao Source. Wang Wei created his True Will to test it out, and he was immediately satisfied with the result. More importantly, the [Zoning] Ability improved drastically. Once he adds his Karma Dao, tracking and eliminating people's imprints will be relatively easier.
Once these two aspects finished elevating, Wang Wei felt the baptism headed for the next step - his Awakening. Once he activated it, 11 Fate Palaces appeared above his head. They looked magnificent.
"They appeared less ethereal than before. It seems they are no longer a decoration, and I can use them in battles," Wang Wei noticed. His mind went on overdrive, thinking about using them directly as weapons or, better yet, creating techniques that fit with the palaces.
"I guess that's better than nothing," he muttered before focusing on the remaining baptism. Nothing significant occurred until the flesh baptism.
"Third Heaven?" He muttered as he clenched his fist. His cultivation increased by one layer, a great benefit given his realm. "This should be the effect of the Yuandao Root."
According to his calculations, the baptism should have only increased his strength by half of a Heaven, meaning his flesh would increase from 74% to 75% Grand Dao Source. However, the effect of the Yuandao Root was added for the last half.
"I'm now an Empyrean, but the process felt underwhelming." He shook his head. Despite this thought, he was happy with his strength - especially since he reached this realm at the young age of 1.5 Yuan Epoch. It would have been much earlier had he not spent so much time on becoming an Indestructible Emperor.
As he calmed down, Wang Wei started brewing an idea, but he still needed some data. Before that, he needed to get acclimated to his newfound power. He accessed the Dream World and started fighting with the 50 Empyreans again, this time only using his cultivation and not his flesh. It took Wang Wei no time to acclimate to fighting with most of his abilities - except for the Grandmist Wheel.
The wheel, by itself, had no bearings in battle despite its size disparity between Empyreans. Ordinary Empyreans had a wheel between 6 to 9 Zhang, while Everlasting went from 10 to 12. However, their size only indicates their advantages in creating worlds and life to help them cultivate. In simple terms, the bigger the wheel, the faster the cultivation.
Despite the inherited classification of the Grandmist Wheel, sentient beings are intelligent and innovative. As such, through the development of civilization, many ways have been created for the Grandmist Wheel to be helpful in combat. The most common ones are using the world created as explosions or weapons, creating unique life forms that can fight side-by-side with their creator - or better yet, fuse with the creator to boost their strength. Lastly, reverse the Cosmos Grandmist into the Final Grandmist to kill people.
Wang Wei needed time to understand and use these tactics in battles, so he spent a few years fighting with these imprints. He did not waste much time since these 50 individuals were the perfect teachers. All of them have lived for so long that they've mastered these basic tactics.
As he expected, Wang Wei reached the 10-fold Battle Realm, or a fighting prowess of 89.999%. However, he did not immediately reach Taboo as he needed a key. So, he did a quick divination and knew the answer. frёeωebɳovel.com
