Chapter 423: Dao Foundation

Wang Wei was deeply focused on understanding the cultivation method, overviewing every detail to ensure that he can succeed. As he previously theorized, condensing the Three Flowers involved finding the essence of the body, soul, and energy.

And after condensing them, the foundation would be sublimated, and truly reached perfection. And with such a foundation, not only will the strength increase, but it becomes easier to comprehend the Law and enter the Void Shattering Realm.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally opined his eyes.

"Ready?" asked Wang Wucheng.

"Yes."

"Which one are you condensing first?"

"Essence Flower."

"In that case, let's begin now."

Wang Wei took a deep breath to adjust his state, then, he entered a deep state of meditation. Wang Wucheng walked next to him and placed his hand on his back.

A strange and mysterious power then entered Wang Wei's body: it first traveled to most of his body: skin, muscles, bones, visceral organs, and so on. And everywhere it went, it removed many impurities.

Wang Wei had thought that his body was flawless, and it was now he understood the so-called flawless, the so-called perfection, that was only to the individual.

In his eyes, his body was perfect and had impurities, but to someone on Wang Wucheng, that was far more from the case.

Black substances were expelled out of Wang Wei's body, making him smell terrible. Then, the formation on his robe activated and cleaned his body. Wang Wucheng did not care about the stench as he continued his action.

Once he was done removing the impurities, he began to repair the hidden dangers inside Wang Wei's body. As a powerful body refiner, he has maltreated his body beyond repair.

Constantly destroying any part of his body and rebuilding them is a common thing for Wang Wei. Although this method ensured rapid success and powerful strength, it still had some side effects, which are mainly a decrease in lifespan.

Especially when he swallowed a bunch of high-tier pills and use the energy conflict to temper his body. Although Wu Hong once removed some of these hidden dangers, it has been a while and they have returned now.

And in the last battle with Di Tian, he forced himself too much. even sacrificing his life span for power, thus creating more of these hidden dangers.

After Wang Wucheng healed them, Wang Wei could feel that his lifespan increased by another 2 million. Additionally, he felt a heavy burden was lifted from his shoulder: his body became easier to breathe, easier to control.

He even felt that he took a small step in his [Force Controlling Skill.] Although he was still in the Grandmaster Control stage, the amount of force he could now control was at least 1.2 times greater.

"Remove the seal of the Divine Thunder Punishment and give me access to it," suddenly said Wang Wucheng, and Wang Wei acquiesced.

The Dao Ancestor then waved his hand and a dark aura was forcibly drawn from him from Wang Wei's body. This aura was another hidden danger inside Wang Wei's body left because he was tempering his body with the Divine Punishment Thunder.

After all, this kind of lightning was created to punish individuals, so it contained a very powerful destructive power; it was not meant to temper the body–especially for a Mortal like Wang Wei.

Wang Wucheng knew that if this aura continued to secretly gather, at some point, it will affect the mind and spirit of the user. Truth be told, it should have already had some effect on Wang Wei if not for his secretly powerful Will. And that's not even the full ability of this dark aura. Long exposure can corrode a person's luck and give them misfortune.

Luckily, the seal used on him was quite powerful so he did not have to worry about this for now.

"For Mortals like you, it is very dangerous to use Divine Punishment Thunder to temper the body, so I'll help you fix that."

Wang Wei did not like the term "Mortal" even though he also used it to describe non-cultivators. However, he also understood that the vast gap between Great Emperors, Dao Ancestors, and Immortal Venerable created a divide between them and lower cultivators: it divide them into Mortals and Immortals.

So, no matter how powerful Quasi-Emperors are, no matter how long they can live, they are still considered Mortals. Wang Wei then shook his head to remove these distracting thoughts.

Since he did not like the term, he had to work hard to one day become an Immortal.

Meanwhile, Wang Wucheng waved his hand and a multicolor sphere appeared in his palm and he inserted it into Wang Wei's body; the sphere directly fused with the Divine Punishment Lightning.

"I have fused a great deal of Good Fortune power into your thunder, that way, it can prevent the Destruction Aura from remaining in your body, and also help you better temper your body.

"However, I would recommend that you temper your body with this thing only after you opened up all your Star Acupoints."

Wang Wei nodded after hearing this. The Divine Punishment Lightning can easily destroy any parts of his powerful fleshly body. Then, he will use spiritual qi, vitality, or pills to regrow these destroyed parts into a stronger version.

However, now, with the power of Good Fortune–which is capable of changing something rotten into something magical, the regrown parts will be faster, better, and stronger.

Once the fusion ended, Wang Wei felt a sense of familiarity with his Divine Punishment Thunder. He immediately realized that it now gave a similar aura to the one Di Tian used during their fight.

Most likely, his Divine Punishment Thunder has a power similar to Good Fortune if it is not the same.

"Alright, now it is the final step. Take this opportunity to condense the flower."

Immediately afterward, Wang Wei felt the unfamiliar power targeting every single cell inside his body and repairing the crack in every single one of them. Wang Wucheng's control was very precise and did not miss anything.

At the same time, inside Wang Wei's Divine Altar, in the place where the Ancient Lamp and the Flame of Good Fortune used to be, a crown suddenly appeared at the top of the Temple of Heaven.

The circular crown had three holes on it in the shape of flowers, along with five jewels of different colors. However, the jewels appeared to lack any luster; they looked dim and unimpressive.

Then, a yellow lotus with twelve petals appeared on top of the crown. A few seconds later, one of the petals turned golden, followed by a second, third, and so on. In just a few seconds, all twelve petals turned golden, then the lotus flower entered the crown and filled in one of the flower holes.

The moment that the Essence Flower was created, an unknown power flew all over Wang Wei's body and drastically increased his strength. His eyes opened, stood up, and threw a punch.

His punch–which was powerful enough to destroy all Middle Thousand Worlds and fundamentally shake any Great Thousand World did not have any effect on this place.

The space was not destroyed, or anything for that matter. Only a gust of wind was generated by the force of this attack. Nevertheless, Wang Wei did not care about this as he was busy elsewhere.

The moment he threw that punch, he found himself floating in an Empty Void, and the Gate of Power was in sight. That gate seemed so close yet far away.

Then, he was dragged away by some mysterious force towards the gate. After briefly traveling, Wang Wei felt that he bypassed something and entered a new boundary; he seemed to be closer to the gate now.

Then, some information was sent directly inside his mind.

He was currently in the Power Realm, which was a place that exist between reality and illusion, truth and falsehood, existence and non-existence.

And the purpose of this realm is to measure the strength of True Dao of Power cultivators. The minimum requirement to reach this realm is to be able to exert 1 Dragon Force of strength, which is the equivalent of 1 quintillion kg of force.

Wang Wei's punch was equal to 10 Dragon Force, however, this only allowed him to enter the first floor of the Power Realm. From the information in his mind, he knew that the second floor was referred to as the Dragon Elephant floor, and used Dragon Elephant Force.

However, he did not know the exact requirement to reach that floor, only the name. And one thing for sure, there were more than two floors. The higher a person reaches, the closer they are to opening the gate.

"Interesting," muttered Wang Wei as he marveled at the fact that the secrets of the universe are slowly being uncovered by him. This could be considered one of the positive benefits of cultivation.

With a thought, Wang Wei felt his consciousness return to his body. He could instantly tell that no time passed even though he spent a few minutes in the Power Realm.

"Huh?" he muttered as he realized that he gained a new Divine Ability after condensing a rank 1 Essence Flower.
