A few days later, Wang Wei was called to his cheap master's cave. As soon as he entered, he could feel that the latter was more serious than ever, so he secretly became more solemn.
"This is for you," said Ye Lao as he handed a bottle to his apprentice. Using his Divine Sense, he saw a bright red pill with a small phoenix drawn on it. Inside, he felt a vast amount of vitality contained.
"Phoenix Heart Pill," muttered Wang Wei with a slight smile on his face. During his last encounter with his master, he hinted that he was worried about his safety exactly for this pill.
"Master, isn't this a little too precious?"
"You do not have to worry about such a thing. With your current status, talent, and future, the sect will do everything to train and protect you."
"Thank you, master and the sect. This disciple will forever be grateful," replied Wang Wei as he swallowed the pill. He did not believe Ye Lao's words.
He guessed that it was not that easy for him to get this pill–especially the Quasi-Emperor Tier. From what he knew and analyzed about Fu Caiyun, he would not let things go so easily.
After swallowing the pill, it did not dissipate into his body to take effect but instead lodge into one of the chambers of his heart, ready to release large quantities of vitality when needed.
'With this pill, the time needed to finish the second step of tempering my blood should be reduced by a great deal.'
"Master, where are we going?" as Wang Wei once he was done.
Immediately, the sect master became serious. Ye Lao did not answer him but took out a token. After activating it, the two of them teleported to a secret realm.
Then, Wang Wei saw his cheap master speak to an old man for a few minutes before he teleported somewhere else again. Although the old man did not say anything, Wang Wei could feel a few people following the two of them afterward.
After exiting the Secret Realm, Ye Lao took Wang Wei into a Void Boat and headed to the Central Continent. During the entire trip, the old man was very secretive and seemed very on guard.
And it seems it was for a very good reason.
Two days into their trip, Wang Wei could feel a few True Monarchs fighting in the sky. He guessed most likely that Fu Caiyun had sent assassins after him.
Nevertheless, he pretended that he did not know anything.
After a week, they finally arrived at their destination. It was a small island between the Central and Eastern Continent.
Although he called the island small, it was relative to the Domains in the other continents. If you compared it to Wang Wei's previous life, this island is probably the same size as the sun.
The place that he was currently was known as the Eastern Sea Domain. Countless islands existed in that area with many cultivators occupying them, mostly loose cultivators and small families.
They fight and compete for resources.
Saint families are usually the most powerful and occupy the island with the richest resources. Unfortunately, the lack of resources makes it very difficult to train True Monarchs in this region.
Additionally, the Sea Race has established this region as their own and will not allow powerful human factions to exist there.
White Heart Island:
After secretly landing, Ye Lao brought Wang Wei to a forest in the north and gave him a token. After activating it, a white light enveloped him and he disappeared. Meanwhile, Ye Lao was not surprised by this and waited outside for him.
Wang Wei found himself in a room with two rows of flames on each side. However, he did not feel the temperature rise or change, it was very normal.
Then, he heard a female voice echoing in the room:
"Welcome to the Flame Emperor Inheritance Trial. Please display the [Flame Control Art]."
"Interesting," muttered Wang Wei. There were rumors that the Flame Emperor was born in one of the islands in the Eastern Sea Domain, and rose there as a loose cultivator before proving the Dao.
Without hesitation, Wang Wei began to display his mastery of the Flame Controlling Art.
"Flame Controlling Art 6th level. Pass," said the Inheritance Spirit.
A white light suddenly appeared and entered Wang Wei's Sea of Consciousness. After closing his eyes, he found the information for the 7th to 10th level of this art.
He also received the information that this was the basic reward for passing this test and coming here.
"Let's begin the second test," said the female voice. Then, a strange flower appeared in front of him, and he was asked to purify it. According to the information, the better he purified the material, the higher his score, and the better the reward he will receive.
A bright flame appeared in his hand as he sat down in front of the flower and began the process of purification. With his ability, this should have been a very easy task but he was wrong.
The beginning part was as easy as he expected, however, later on, he discovered that the purity inside this flower seems to have some form of consciousness and would actively run away, making it very difficult to cleanse.
