Chapter 426: Memory Lane

After being healed, Wang Wei along with the entire family was glad, so they celebrated with a large party. All the upper echelons of the sect were invited –even though some of them were not aware of the reason for the celebration.

Wang Wei's defeat and recent disappearance are only known to a few people in the sect. This was done to prevent division amongst the factions, especially the Sectarian Side.

During this time, Wang Wei had to appease two people: his mother and Li Jun. The former became somewhat paranoid in fear that something similar would happen again, and Wang Wei had to reassure her. Luckily, his grandmother was there. As the natural nemesis of his mother, she was able to put some sense into her.

As for Li Jun, he was blaming himself for what happened. As the person in charge of the Heavenly Abode World Operation, he felt that maybe if he was more careful, he would have detected it when Di Tian arrived, or when he took the time to set up the worldwide formation.

Wang Wei explained to him that even he did not notice; even the Quasi-Emperors outside of the world did not notice Di Tian's infiltration, so there was no need to blame him.

Although Li Jun understood this, he simply could not process this. So, at the party, he drank a little too much and got drunk. Wang Wei could tell that if something was not done, this would become his Heart Demon.

So, he decided to talk to him and Yan Liling to ensure that he was fine.

Once the party finished, everything was not over as Wang Wei had some politics to do. He visited Li Jun's father since he was the patriarch of the Li family and had dinner with their whole family.

Then, he did the same with Great Elder Yan Mei, who was Yan Liling's aunt and the Yan family patriarch. Finally, he also visited the current leader of the Sectarian Side, Fan Lei, who was in charge of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion or the Library.

After Long Bo's death, he was elected to this position for the ways he did things that considered both the benefit of their factions and the overall benefit of the sect.

Once he was done appeasing and gaining the support of everyone important, he began to spend more time with his family. For the next few months, he did not cultivate but enjoyed life with his friends and family.

He also took time to read more information, knowledge, or secrets from the Secret Archive. Then, it was time for everyone to leave.

"Are you sure you do not want to come with us?" asked Yun Zhaojun.

"No, I have a feeling that an opportunity is waiting out there for me. I'll check it out first before going to the Yan Family Domain."

"Well, it is your wedding so make sure to not be late. Not just you, but also the bride."

Wang Wei nodded as he watched everyone leave, including his father who passed on some of the responsibilities of the sect to others. Everyone headed for the Yan clan's domain to prepare for Wang Wei and Wu Hong's wedding.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei had one last thing to do before leaving. He checked the information or events that occurred during his more than 2000 years of absence.

Since everything was neatly summarized by Wang Ju, the process was rapid. The first thing of importance was that it was revealed that this generation entered the Void Shattering Realm: the Path of Supreme would be opened for the previous generation.

As such, his father, mother, and many of the Great Elders can finally enter the Supreme Realm. And with their deep foundation, many of them might reach the peak of the realm in one fell swoop.

Wang Wei was happy for his father and mother but this news did not affect him much, so he focused on others. A few of the Top 30 Heaven Chosens are now being hunted down because of the things some of them did when they had their immortality.

Of course, only the ones with relatively low background.

Additionally, now that everyone was in the Primordial Spirit Realm, according to the previous rule, all the Heaven Chosens no longer have a Dao Protector and can kill each other freely.

At this stage, the battle for the throne has officially begun.

Wang Wei once thought of using his overwhelming strength to kill most of the participants beforehand. However, his father warned him not to do this. There has been a precedent of people who do this, and the result has always been all the other sects bond together to besiege such person and the faction behind them.

Although the Dao Opening Sect was strong, it was not to the point that they could face all the Emperor Lineages together and not suffer serious damage.

Additionally, Wang Wei learned that there is something called Death Substitute Talisman. As the name implied, it can provide an extra life for the owner of this talisman.

Although this talisman is a Quasi-Emperor Tier one, and a rare one amongst its tier, many Emperor Lineages still have the capability of crafting one for their Heaven Chosen.

However, since this talisman requires sacrificing a great deal of their faction's Qi Luck as a price, not all of them are willing to give it to their Heaven Chosens.

Plus, many of them understood that the Path of Emperor is cruel, and if their Heaven Chosen die at the hands of one of their peers, then they did not have the strength nor destiny to become a Great Emperor.

This philosophy is shared by the Dao Opening Sect, so Wang Wei does not have a Death Substitution Talisman: a fact that almost drove his mother crazy.

Even though his father wanted to listen to his wife and get one for him, his grandfather interceded and stopped him. Unfortunately, the Yu family cannot afford to cast one for Wang Wei with the luck of one Great Emperor.

The final noteworthy information that Wang Wei learned was that Su Ya did not stop her endless fighting with Jian Wushuang. Now, the latter has lost his immortality while she remained a pseudo-version of it.

With her endless clones, she can fight without any regard for her life. As such, even though he is more powerful than her, she can still pause a threat to him. Additionally, with each defeat, with death, she further understands the concept of [Desire to Survive], which in turn further clarifies her Dao.

As Wang Wei looked at this information, he muttered under his breath: "They say that beauty is the nemesis of all heroes, is that true?"

He then shook his head and moved on. Most of the information is about the fact that most of the Heaven Chosens are now cultivating back in their sect. And the majority of them will not leave until they reach the Void Shattering Realm.

This is a terrifying time and most of them will only feel more safe and secure after comprehending the Law, which will drastically increase their strength. In that cultivation realm, the gap between many people will be made up or further deepened.

Nevertheless, this was the opportunity that most if not all of them are waiting for.

The last thing he paid noticed was the fact that Feng Heng was spotted near the Forbidden Zone, the Western Pure Land, before returning to his sect.

So, Wang Wei kept all of this in mind before leaving the sect. He did not lie to his grandmother as he felt that an opportunity was waiting for him somewhere.

So, he locked on the feeling and flew in that direction. A few hours later, Wang Wei landed in a small village with an enormous towering tree. With a glance, anyone could tell that this was not a normal village.

The people there had normal clothes instead of patched ones, their faces were rosy, signaling that they were full of blood energy. In a world where most mortals could not eat properly, it was a rare thing to see commoners this healthy.

Everyone in the village had a bright smile on their faces, full of life and hope for the world.

Wang Wei looked at the village and the people. He then looked at the tall tree that he planted more than 1000 years ago. He knew this village and the reason it was so prosperous.

After leaving the Spirit Road Trial, he asked the Elders to stop at a random village because he wanted to see what the outside world was like. The village treated him greatly and offered him their food despite not having much of their own.

To repay their kindness, he asked one of the Great Elders to set up a formation to bless the entire village with great luck and fortune and to also ensure protect it from other cultivators or greedy mortals.

Now, more than 3000 years later, 1000 for him, Wang Wei came back and so many things have changed, yet nothing changed at the same time.

While Wang Wei was distracted, one of the villagers looked at his face deeply before screaming: "Benefactor?"

His voice was so loud that it attracted the curiosity of all the people around.
