Wang Wei's next destination was a place called the Summer Cloud World, and his purpose was a Forbidden Land. The Myriad Emperor World was not the only place with Forbidden Lands, and Wang Wei once planned to remove all of them. However, he never had to.
His actions caused the entire lower dimension to rise in power, thus eliminating most of these forbidden lands with relative ease. The only survivors were the ones who were good at hiding and the place he was currently visiting.
He headed directly into a forest with pitch-black trees and an eerie atmosphere. A word echoed in the void repeatedly: "Are you worthy?" Wang Wei looked around, noticing the trees seemed to contain a very potent hallucinogen capable of influencing the soul.
He ignored this forest's power as his gaze penetrated all the other obstacles to reach the core. He teleported to the center with one step, ignoring all the restrictions.
"Are you worthy?"
Wang Wei looked at the man before him: ordinary black robe, thin, big nose, and bright eyes. "An obsession? So, that's why no one could eliminate this place." The person before him was long dead, and he could only exist in this world because of his obsession and no matter how much someone killed him, he would be revived due to his obsession.
"Why are you asking if I'm worthy?"
"So I can know whether you can help me."
"And who are you? Why should I help you?"
"My name is...Lu Da. I don't remember much except that whoever is worthy enough to help my family will get the key to a treasure I once held."
Wang Wei thought briefly before reading this man's fate line. "I see." This poor bastard named Lu Dao once found the cultivation cave of an Empyrean cultivator and was hunted down by an Empyrean Lineage. As a last resort, he separated from his family while signing up with the same program that brought Old Man Nether to the lower dimension.
The result was expected. He died, but his obsession with his family allowed him to condense in the lower dimension and wait for someone worthy to help him.
"Do you want me to check on your family in exchange for the key to the cave?" Wang Wei asked.
"Not just check on them, but help them, and even share some of the resources with them."
"You do realize the chances of your family still being alive are...well, less than ideal?"
"...I'm aware, but I won't give up until the last minute."
"Alright. I accept your proposition. Your cave might be the first pot of gold I get in the upper dimension," Wang Wei declared.
"Fine. Wait, you haven't proven if you're worthy yet." Wang Wei released the aura of the 10-fold Battle Realm, shocking Lu Da to his core. He was only a Third Class Emperor with 18% Grand Dao Source cultivation before his death. His new obsession form did boost his strength tremendously, but that was still nothing compared to this man's power.
"Your strength is indeed worthy," Lu Da sighed. "However, what about your character? I -"
"Either take the deal or don't. Your reward is less valuable than you think for someone like me." He was a master of luck, so finding fortunate encounters on such a level was easy. Although Lu Da could be counted as his second Tier 11 opportunity, he could give it up if he wishes.
"Fine, but I want to see for myself." Lu Da turned into a black jade, and Wang Wei could sense his obsession attached to it. He waved his hand to put it away before waving his hands to kill all the remaining forbidden lands still hiding in the lower dimension.
He teleported outside an interesting continent floating in the void. He looked at this place with strange gazes. He had come here, but it was not him.
"Lord Chen Tong, I'm here for a visit."
"Come in," said a voice, and Wang Wei entered the empty Slaughter Trial, following the voice to a beautiful white cabin by a lake. Chen Tong was waiting for tea that had already been prepared but had not been served.
"I wasn't expecting you." Chen Tong was genuinely puzzled by this sudden visit.
Wang Wei calmly served him tea before pouring it for himself and sipping. 'Excellent tea,' he thought to himself.
"I came to invite you as a special guest to my Dao Banquet," he stated. "Before you can reject, I know this event is child play to you."
If Wang Wei had to make an analogy based on his life on Earth, the Dao Banquet was as if all the top physics students at Tsinghua University were having an intense discussion that every other student could not fathom. Chen Tong would then be a world-renowned physicist who has won the Nobel Prize and countless other awards and has been in this field for over 40 years.
"However, this event might be useful to you."
"How so?" Chen Tong calmly asked.
"You saw it for yourself. This generation is, without a doubt, the greatest since the lower dimension's existence. Everyone present at the banquet will have great luck and destiny - they might even be the next golden generation."
"Those are bold words, but I see where you are coming from," Chen Tong nodded. If he could form some karmic relationships with these talents through preaching, it would indeed greatly benefit him later down the line - especially since he has a special method for revival that relies on luck and destiny.
"So, you agree?"
"I don't see why not?"
"I'm glad to hear," Wang Wei replied with a smile. They chatted for a few more minutes before parting. 'I was right,' Wang Wei thought as he teleported home. Nothing he does is ever simple, and that was also true of that visit. He wanted to know whether his guess about Chen Tong was true - that the Slaughter Trial was why his experience in Limbo was so free and without many restrictions.
Of course, it would be suicidal to try any kind of outward detection means before a Paragon - even if he's technically dead. Wang Wei then chose to rely on his intuition, turning it into an active ability to sense whether his theory was correct.
'Now that I know the truth, it should be easy to deal with him once I squeeze his last value at the banquet,' Wang Wei thought as he returned home. He soon became busy with the preparation for the Dao Banquet. The first thought was to create a new place in the void for this event, but Wang Wei quickly gave up that thought since that would be too much pointless work.
The next choice was his court since there was more than enough space. However, realizing how much Dao Rhymes this event would create, he chose the Dao Opening Sect.
'This banquet could become a precedent,' Wang Wei thought. 'If father and mother also hold on, other people should follow.' While deep in thought, Wang Wei has already delegated the preparation tasks for the sect, making everything extremely lively. The Steward stopped his court duty to take charge of this event, ensuring the Dao Opening Sect appeared as noble and powerful as possible to the outside world while keeping an air of mystery and secrecy.
The Dao Opening Sect's actions were not exactly subtle. As such, people deduced the location of the Dao Banquet, and the information spread before Wang Wei announced it. Many cultivators had spent years preparing for this event.
Wang Wei, who was lazing around while everybody was working, decided to make an announcement in the Dream World.
[Supreme Emperor Wang: The news was leaked. The Dao Banquet will take place in the Dao Opening Sect. The estimated time is between 2000 to 5000 years.
[Furthermore, I've noticed a small controversy regarding whether Immortal Venerables and Immortal Sovereigns should attend. My invitation said all immortals, and you're part of it. You can preach about your understanding and experience of the soul. And if you feel the God Kings would do a much better job, talk about the relationship between [Essence, Spirit, and Qi].] As soon as he finished his posts, it spread everywhere. The other paths besides the Emperor and Dao Path felt relieved after seeing this announcement; they were joyous that the Supreme Emperor did not exclude them from this major event and immediately started preparing. Most of them regretted not using the former 10,000 years and wasted it on debating whether they were worthy or should participate.
"Hmm? Why are you here?" Wang Wei asked after disconnecting from the Dream World.
"Some people came to me to tell you not to be lazy and help," Wang Wucheng said.
"It's the Steward, isn't it? Why doesn't he have the ball to confront me?"
"I'm just the messenger, "Wang Wucheng shrugged. Wang Wei decided to meet Wang Qi before doing anything else.
