Chapter 929 Ancestor"s Warning
An elderly man appeared in the middle of the altar with gray hair and a long white beard. He was burly, showing his profound muscles even while wearing a loose black robe. His body did not exude a sage or immortal-like atmosphere to show his wisdom or longevity; no, his body exuded a primal or desolate aura, like an ancient creature who bathed in the bloodline of G.o.ds, Demons, Devils, and Buddhas.
Every Ancient Clan member in this room recognized this person–the Daofather of the world and their clan, the Heaven Opening Emperor.
The mighty Emperor was momentarily confused as he looked around, "So, it worked?" he muttered, knowing his attempt to reach the lower dimension succeeded. A while ago, while still dead and in limbo, he sensed something important had happened in the lower dimension, so he spent a great deal of effort to arrive here.
The Heaven Opening Emperor looked around, gazing at the members of the Ancient Clan. With his strength, he could sense the guilt and fear these people tried to hide; he immediately knew why but did not care.
Like Qiyuan, the w.a.n.g Clan"s branch from his side treats raising genius and capable people with the utmost cruelty. Since the members of his branch could not keep their positions, power, and strength in the lower dimension, it only showed their inadequacy.
When it comes to people of his level, the lower dimension can provide them with little power or ability. However, as their place of origin, most Paragons will have a special place for their place of origin. So, as long as they are not destroyed, people in the upper dimension will not care about the prosperity of the factions they left behind.
The Heaven Opening Emperor asked: "Why did you guys summon me?"
No one answered for a moment before Huo Fenghuang took a step forward and bowed: "I have seen the Ancestor."
"A Primarch on the Lower Dimension? How rare," commented the Heaven Opening Emperor. "However, it"s a shame for someone of your talent to become a Primarch."
Huo Fenghuang smiled wryly before explaining the situation, starting from the Heaven Will Battle to the Heavenly Court and finally to the current changes in the w.a.n.g Clan Bloodline.
"Qiyuan"s branch gave birth to such a talent?" muttered the Heaven Opening Emperor as he caressed his well-trimmed beard. His eyes shone brilliantly as many truths appeared in his mind.
"Mortal Emperor, Ten Supremacy Foundation, and even Immeasurable Emperor? This kid is scary. No, this generation, in general, is unique."
He looked in the distance, observing something.
"Huh? He raised the w.a.n.g Clan"s Human Bloodline to the level of FiendG.o.d?" said the Heaven Opening Emperor, not hiding his shock.
"Yes, yes, yes, that"s the answer I"ve been searching for."
The Heaven-Opening Emperor"s voice was loud, shaking the entire Ancestral room. Oddly, the sound never escaped the confines of the room.
Everyone of sufficient level knew he was unique because of a mutation of his physique. He was the only individual between Heaven and Earth who cultivated Power Grand Dao Source while simultaneously reaching the end of the True Power Dao Realm and opening the Gate of Flesh.
Many people referred to the Heaven Opening Emperor as the ultimate body refiner, and they were correct about that because he also had a FiendG.o.d Bloodline he cultivated to the limit.
However, the bloodline has become the core issue of the Heaven Opening Emperor. After becoming a Paragon, he went to great lengths to fuse with this bloodline, almost dying in the Immemorial Tribulation.
According to the rules of Heaven and Earth, the Grand Dao and Primordial Path are separated. So, it"s a nightmare for FiendG.o.ds to prove the Dao and eventually become Paragons, but it"s also the same for Paragons to acquire a FiendG.o.ds" bloodline and reach the pinnacle.
The Heaven Opening Emperor always felt something was wrong with his body after reaching the pinnacle of the Paragon Realm. He never knew what it was, and anyone he consulted concluded nothing was wrong.
He even consulted his greatest rival, the owner of the Grand Dao Source Position of the Power Dao. The two had more than thousands of battles for the position. In the early stages, the Heaven Opening Emperor lost all of them, but later on, they only tied, allowing the others to keep their position.
Alas, even after consulting his friends, he never found the answer. A few people suggested to him the problem might be his bloodline, but that answer was too broad, so the Heaven Opening Emperor opening changed his bloodline a few times and re-cultivated them to the pinnacle.
Alas, the feeling of incongruity did not fade away. This problem was one of the main reasons he partic.i.p.ated in the Ultimate Taboo, hoping to find an answer.
Today, he finally knew the answer to his problem.
"No matter how much I train and cultivate the FiendG.o.d"s Bloodline, it"s still foreign."
The Heaven Opening Emperor can say for sure he has 99.99% control of his bloodline. However, he realized that the missing 0.01% was the real issue. Such a small problem might not be important to others, but after reaching his level, such a small flaw might be detrimental.
"The real path I must take is to create a human bloodline on par with those pinnacle FiendG.o.ds. Only this way can I reach the true pinnacle of body refining, establis.h.i.+ng the greatest foundation to become Transcendent."
The Heaven Opening Emperor felt his mind cleared and a heavy burden lifted from his shoulder. He knew the way forward after he resurrected himself.
He did not need w.a.n.g Wei"s [FiendG.o.d Body 12 Revolution] since only a few people understand bloodline better than him. So, it"s not a problem to create w.a.n.g Wei"s technique. Furthermore, if he wishes, he can travel through the River of Time to find Dao Monarch Qianwu"s technique and learn from it.
The only issue he needs to prepare for is the Immemorial Tribulation for changing his bloodline, and the Heaven Opening Emperor could deduce how terrifying it will be.
"It seems I owe this descendant some karma," muttered the Heaven Opening Emperor as he observed w.a.n.g Wei. He could see countless destinies around him, one of which was the destiny to deal with the 8 Parasites and return the Eternal Ascension World to its Golden Age.
"Qiyuan gathered the destiny of the entire Chaos Universe with the mission to bring about the era of Half-Step Transcendent. His attempt both failed and succeeded."
Qiyuan"s attempt did create multiple Half-Step Transcendents, but it was not enough. Furthermore, most of the methods that resulted from the Ultimate Taboo were flawed, which was unacceptable to most people.
"Someone else must finish what he started. Could this kid be the next one after him?"
The Heaven Opening Emperor was in deep thought:
"The Eternal Ascension World has gathered the greatest destiny amongst all the Chaos Worlds. So, the probability of the next chosen one to appear there is the greatest, but it"s not completely guaranteed. Some of these old guys must be trying to prevent this from happening, doing everything to make the next destined one appear in their world.
"Since these old guys are working hard, it"s not impossible for Qiyuan to be also secretly plotting. Did he make a move to ensure the next chosen ones appeared in the Eternal Ascension World and even the w.a.n.g Clan? Or is this just a coincidence?"
The Heaven Opening Emperor did not have a definite conclusion. However, he knew the Chaos Universe was about to experience another era of prosperity and chaos. As such, he needs to prepare.
"Should I facilitate the merger of our w.a.n.g Clan?"
After thinking about this idea, he secretly groaned. He had his disagreement with Qiyuan and fought a few times. However, they were not enemies and even worked together on many occasions.
On multiple occasions, they also discussed a possible merger. However, the conclusion was that it might not be possible–at least, not now. Each branch of the w.a.n.g Clan reached the pinnacle of the Eternal Ascension World but in different factions.
Because of their power, some people do not want them to merge, so they"ve been secretly plotting to aggravate the contradictions between the two factions. Although Qiyuan and the Heaven Opening Emperor took measures to alleviate the situation, their methods were not a hundred percent successful
In the end, after years, the two clans had many resentments, contradictions, and hatred. Although they can control themselves when they are allies, the difficulty is another level regarding turning them into one huge family.
"Because of the Balance Mechanism, it"s impossible for the clans in the lower dimension to fuse. However, they can still be allies. So, let"s show some sincerity."
The Heaven Opening Emperor waved his hand to remove all the hidden imprints in the w.a.n.g Clan"s bloodline, even protecting them from such a situation from happening. He then used some of his own luck to bless the clan, giving them one last chance to prove themselves.
Finally, he looked at the Ancient Clan.
"I will give you some wisdom. Whether you listen or not, it"s up to you."
"How dare the unfilial descendants not listen to the ancestor," said these people immediately and in tandem. However, the Heaven Opening Emperor did not care whether these words were sincere or not.
"The Heavenly Emperor"s strength has reached the pinnacle of the Emperor Realm, meaning he is one step away from being able to battle Empyreans."
The Ancient Clan members" faces changed; they knew the Heavenly Emperor was powerful but never thought he was to that level. After all, it hasn"t even been 2000 years since he proved the Dao.
"The Heavenly Emperor Era is very important to him. So, no matter what grand plan you are plotting, make sure it does not negatively affect his legacy. Otherwise, he will annihilate you no matter the price he has to pay."
Huo Fenghuang and the elder"s heart sank. Their greatest reliance is no matter the situation, they can rely on their Qi Luck to survive. Now, it appears it might not be the case.
"One last thing," continued the Heaven Opening Emperor. "Before ascending, the Heavenly Emperor will definitely condense a Golden Body of Merit and acquire the t.i.tle of [Sage]. By then, the backlash of luck from the clan will be nothing to him.
"You"ve been warned."
After saying these words, he disappeared as if he were never here.
