Wang Wei pondered briefly. He first tried divination even though he knew it might not work. However, he immediately felt something wrong with his utilization of the Dao. 'It felt slightly clunky and out of sync.' Most people might not notice this difference given how minor it is, but for people like him with great control over his Dao, this chance was no different than a burning star in the middle of a dark room.
"What's going on?' Wang Wei thought. His divination failed, but he was more concerned about the problem with his Dao. He closed his eyes to sense it as he used more techniques, and the result was the same. No matter what techniques he used, there was this slight delay.
'Suppressing the use of techniques? What's the point of doing this — especially at such a minor level? No, there must be something else that I don't know.'
Wang Wei decided to take some risks. He first built the best soul/mental defense he was capable of before slowly extending his senses to the Heaven Lock above. Due to his cautious approach, it took him a while until he sensed something — he heard whispers.
[What is the Tao? Some people say the Tao that can be described is not the real Tao, while others believe the Tao is the manifestation of all things in the universe — a manifestation of nature. Nature follows the way of Yin and Yang. Yin cannot exist…]
Wang Wei felt these words contained the ultimate truth of the universe and immediately comprehended them. Then, his Dao was slowly changing — especially his Yin-Yang Dao. This Dao was previously attached to his Fate Domination Dao, so the essence of his Yin-Yang Dao was all about controlling fate and pursuing freedom, but after hearing that sermon, his Yin-Yang Dao started to emit more Taoist Rhymes and ideologies.
Wang Wei found himself respecting Heaven and Earth and following the laws of nature. Many of Wang Wei's rebellious ideas were slowly abandoned as he realized the ultimate truth of Heaven and Earth. His consciousness was rapidly changing, and he did not even notice it. His terrifying willpower and borderline obsession with pursuing freedom meant nothing before this ultimate truth. At this rate, it would only be a matter of time before he became a Taoist Priest who believed in the supremacy of Heaven and Earth.
"Wake up," yelled a voice. Wang Wei's eyes opened, and he spewed a mouthful of blood, followed by his complexion turning whiter than snow. He did not hesitate to swallow a Soul Healing Pill before forcibly breaking his Yin-Yang Dao.
Wang Wei's aura fluctuated violently, followed by blood oozing from all his orifices. Additionally, his cultivation was reduced to 70%, signifying this injury was, at best, a Dao Injury and, at worst, reached the level of his [Existence].
'Damn it, I was careless,' Wang Wei thought as he swallowed a few more pills to stabilize his condition. In the lower dimension, he realized his personality was being changed to better fit his role as a Fate Seed, so he sealed a clone into his Sea of Consciousness to monitor him; he even removed his memories to ensure he did not know of its existence.
It was that clone that saved him. Otherwise, he would have been assimilated and become Supreme Unity's dog. Wang Wei shuddered as he thought how he was about to live a life worse than death. He gritted his teeth in anger before calming down. He was not in good shape, so he focused on recuperating.
A few minutes passed before his aura returned to a semi-peaceful state. Wang Wei then looked at the chains in the sky. He understood what they did — they prevented anyone from understanding their Dao. People can access and control their Grand Dao Source, but the chains served as a blockage and a filter — that's why Wang Wei sensed the irregularity when he used his techniques.
If that were the only problem, those chains would not be a big deal. The problem is that people can no longer cultivate and raise their ranks. Anyone who tries will only listen to Supreme Unity's understanding of his Dao and be assimilated.
'If even someone like me could not resist this temptation, what would happen to the rest of the world?' Wang Wei's face became ugly, and he swiftly checked the people of the Origin Seal Continent. He frowned as he discovered that only a few lost people could not wake up. Most of the others woke up and were injured. He understood.
'This was a trap,' Wang Wei analyzed. 'He was waiting for me.' He sneered. Should he say he was flattered that such a powerhouse paid attention to him? Wang Wei exhaled to control his emotions before contacting Wang Qi and asking if everyone was alright. He also sent orders to his clone in the Fate Changing Hall to check on the people.
After dealing with these things, he started thinking about the situation. 'What is the point of preventing people from cultivating?' There must be a more significant reason behind this move. Wang Wei suddenly thought of something. He scanned the surrounding worlds and teleported two people before them — all devil cultivators with immense karma, both in the Empyrean Realm.
Before these people could react, Wang Wei controlled them and forced them to cultivate. However, they did not comprehend their Grand Dao Source; they were training their souls and bodies.
