Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 375 - Body As Heaven And Earth

Wang Wei took at least five years before he entered the Pill Sage Trial, preparing for what to do to receive the Ancestral Blessing. Additionally, since he feared that he might be discovered, he called the Dao Opening Sect to secretly stay close to the Origin Pill Dao Sect.

If his identity is revealed, he can use his background to smooth things out. Albeit it will be a little embarrassing, as long as the sect comes forward to explain this situation and pay a certain price, everything should be fine.

After all, who would not give the Dao Opening Sect's face.

On top of it all, he can use this opportunity to explain the situation and ask for an exchange of scripture. As long as they agreed, he did not mind exchanging any of the Emperor Scripture of his sect with them.

They can both sign the highest contract and swore the heaviest oath to prevent these scriptures.

And if the Origin Pill Dao Sect did not agree with all these conditions, then Wang Wei will not hesitate to start an Emperor Dao War with them.

The [Origin Pill Flame Scripture] is not only necessary for him to create a Primordial Spirit, but to create a unique one that can help in his path of cultivation.

So, he did not want to forfeit the benefits and advantages of doing so. Nor did he want to change to another cultivation system to deal with the issue of his Paragon-Quality Soul. That would bring another set of problems.

So, when the time arrived, Ye Lao summoned the Elders to open the trial. This time, things went smoothly. Although Fu Caiyun tried to interfere or delay the process, he did not have any valid reason.

Anyone could see that he was doing it out of pure spite. This time, the Elders sided with Ye Lao. After all, Lou Cheng has proven that he is as talented as Fu Caiyun–if not more. It was in their benefit to give him a little favor in case, later on, he became successful.

At the very least, remove his resentment for the previous thing.

All the Elders could guess what Ye Lao was going to do. Although they did not think that he would succeed, they wanted to see him try–just in case.

So, without much effort or struggle, Wang Wei entered the small realm where the trial would take place. It was a large room with five statues in the middle.

These statues were of the Great Emperors of the sect. He bowed to the statues to show his respect to the ancestors, while in secret, he was checking to see whether there were any residual Will or Spirit inside these statues.

He did not dare use his Divine Sense but he used his True Vision. Unfortunately, he could not detect anything nor did he dare use extreme means as he knew that his master and the elders of the sect were watching.

After bowing, three choices were given to Wang Wei as there there are two different trials: The Battle Trial, the Pill Refining Trial. According to the sect's rule, a person can become the Heaven Chosen of the sect if he has a high combat level, so this part of the trial was added.

However, if someone chose the Battle Trial, they are still required to have some level of attainment in Alchemy. After all, this is an alchemy sect. Wang Wei chose the Pill Refinement test.

During his time as Lou Cheng, he has never displayed any form of high combat power. After making a choice, he immediately began.

He took out a bunch of materials from his space ring. Then, he moved his fingers to cast a strange spell making the herbs disappear. When they appeared, they were inside his Divine Sea, floating on top of his Origin Sea.

The people who were watching this trial through formations were puzzled by his actions. Then, to their surprise, the trial began to display what was happening inside Lou Cheng's Divine Sea.

The latter started using his origin essence to wash every single part of these herbs–both inside and outside. Once that was done, a fire came out from his heart and traveled to his Divine Sea.

The Flame then began to purify the materials one by one, once done, the medicinal liquids of these herbs were mixed at the appropriate ratio.

"Could he be…" muttered Ye Lao in surprise.

"He's using his body as a cauldron to refine pills. What a great idea. However, this should not be enough," commented another Elder.

"You're wrong. He's not using his body as a cauldron, but as Heaven and Earth," added another person.

"Using Heaven and Earth to refine pills. Wouldn't that be classified as an Innate Pill?"

No one answered this question as they focused on what Lou Cheng was doing.

To use the body as Heaven and Earth does not mean just placing the material inside the Divine Sea that it will work. No, you have to treat the body as a universe and makes behave like one.

And how did Wang Wei accomplish that?

Simple. In the Heaven Stage of the Divine Body Realm, cultivators have to control the power of Heaven and Earth, which is a precursor to understanding the law.

Wang Wei studied that power deeply and created a way for the Divine Sea to exude similar property as Heaven and Earth. After all, the Divine Sea is similar to a small world inside the human body.

This was the second step in refining this Pseudo-Innate Pill. The first step is when he washed away the materials with his origin essence. Innate materials are needed to refine Innate Pills.

However, he does not have them, nor does he plan to use them. So, he come up with another method: wash away these materials with his origin essence so that they are branded with his Divine Sea.

That way, it would be as if they were grown by the Divine Sea just like Heaven and Earth grow Innate Materials. According to Wang Wei's theory, it would be best to raise these herbs inside the Divine Sea in the future before using his technique to refine the pill.

When it comes to the final step of rune engraving, the situation became more delicate. Divine runes are a language discovered by cultivators that allow them to resonate with the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

As a result of this, every World's runes are unique since the Laws of every World are different. This also meant that Wang Wei's Divine Sea is different since he is treating it as a World on his own.

So, he cannot use the same runes he used on the outside, at least not completely. Since Wang Wei is imitating the Power of Heaven and Earth of the Myriad Emperor Law, there are still many similarities.

He had to adjust the runes accordingly to fit his Divine Sea.

This step alone will make this technique very difficult for ordinary Alchemists to use. Each person's Divine Sea is different, so when using this technique, they have to rely on their deep understanding of runes to modify them accordingly.

Without high affinity and understanding of runes, ordinary Alchemists will never be able to use this method. Truth be told, Wang Wei has thought of a solution to this problem:

Material Alchemy.

Removing the rune engraving process entirely and relying solely on a large number of herbs to refine the pill. Material Alchemy was perfectly fit for this new technique.

Despite this, Wang Wei did not use this method as the Origin Pill Dao Sect was an "orthodox" sect in the Rune Way. Not to mention that they are largely responsible for the decline of the Material Way.

After the Rune Engravement was finished, Wang Wei had to deal with one last issue: the Law Baptisement.

After a pill is refined, the runes inside will resonate with the Laws of Heaven and Earth and underwent a baptism that elevates the pill to a higher level. The Heaven and Earth of the Myriad Emperor World contained all the Laws in existence making pills have endless possibilities in their effects and abilities.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Wang Wei's Divine Sea. Even if he was in the Void Shattered Realm and possessed the Law in his body, it would be a specific Law.

And that Law might not be the one he needed for the baptism of his pill. Based on his fact, the highest level of pill that his method can refine is Top Earth Grade.

When it comes to higher grades, each alchemist could only refine specific pills based on the Laws that they have comprehended in the Void Shattered Realm.

Of course, Wang Wei was prepared for this problem.

He took two pills from his space ring and swallowed them. The first one is an already existing pill called Second Primordial Spirit Pill.

This pill allowed cultivators to create a second and temporary Primordial Sprit. This pill is mainly used when facing soul backlash, the cultivator can use this pill to use a second Primordial Spirit to withstand the backlash for them and prevent injury.

This pill is also very rare as few places have a recipe. This is mainly because of the second effect: The Second Primordial Spirit can slightly increase the comprehension of cultivators and help them understand the Law and reached the next cultivation level.

After taking the pill, a temporarily Primordial Spirit appeared on his Sea of Consciousness.

As for the second pill, that is something that he created himself.

(AN: The volume finally ended in the privilege section, and it was longer than anticipated, but I'm still satisfied in general with the entire thing despite the pacing.. Tomorrow is my birthday, so I will most likely not post from now on and take a week's break.)
