Chapter 1774: Essence World

As Wang Wei gazed at the entrance, he had a feeling that he could enter this secret realm without the help of the Tribunal Lords — just like Lin Fan. Previously, he had not sensed it when his avatar arrived, but now the feeling was palpable.

’Hundunxi, Pangu, Lin Fan, and I,’ Wang Wei pondered as he connected things. ’Am I going to experience something similar to Yang Guo and his teachings from Ouyang Feng and Hong Qigong? If that’s true, I may need to prepare in case something goes wrong.’

He did not waste a second, contacting his replacement in the command room and having the latter teleported something directly into his spatial ring. People noticed his actions, but no one asked. The agreed-upon time arrived, and all 14 Tribunal Saints took action. Under their terrifying power, an immense void portal manifested in Primordial Chaos.

The entrance order was also already negotiated, with the weaker cultivators going first in a pair composed of both factions. As a Paragon and commander, Wang Wei was among the first people to rush in. However, before he stepped in, he sensed a hidden killing intent. He glanced at the court’s officer who was chosen to enter with him.

"You want to kill me?" Wang Wei asked, and the man’s expression shifted slightly before returning to normal; he had not expected anyone to notice or even ask.

"It seems to be true," Wang Wei smiled. "And knowing how your court operates, you probably placed me on your assassination list as one of the highest priorities." The man successfully controlled his facial expression, but Wang Wei still read his emotional aura, which displayed a bit of shock and intense desire to kill.

"Don’t worry. I’ll kill all the Non-Saints who come," Wang Wei smiled before walking through the portal. The man’s expression turned cold before following. He knew they would be randomly teleported, so there was no point in following closely. Despite knowing this truth, a part of him hopes he’s lucky enough to be near this bastard.

Wang Wei found himself floating above a small mountain range. He was on high alert, observing his surroundings and spreading his divine sense. "What the hell?" he muttered. He instantly realized his soul had been reduced to 70% of its former power.

Wang Wei frowned before closing his eyes. Less than ten seconds later, a look of shock and a bit of horror appeared on his face. He immediately raised his right hand to condense an intense flame. However, only slight sparks appear, barely enough to light a candle. The worst part is that the result was the same for the five elements, his Fate Dao, and all the other encompassing laws.

"In this world, the Grand Dao Source is not accessible," Wang Wei muttered. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing. Supreme Unity was only capable of blocking access to the river of law of the Grand Dao Source, which prevented people from cultivating. Everybody else could still use their sources. But in this world, it was a complete blockage;

"The soul is weakened, Heaven and Earth’s Spiritual Qi seems only usable to cultivate, leaving only the flesh," Wang Wei muttered. He threw a punch in the sky and tore the cloud apart. "My physical strength has even increased by 10%."

After that punch, this place might no longer be safe, so Wang Wei wanted to leave. However, he instinctively used his Spatial Dao, but failed. After shaking his head, he finally did things properly by forcibly tearing the space apart with his flesh.

"Why is this so hard?" Wang Wei complained. The spatial integrity of this secret realm was the highest he had ever experienced. His currently fleshly body allowed him to fight a Peak Boundless Paragon, but even he was having difficulty tearing through the void.

After teleporting a few million li away to another mountain range, Wang Wei used the earth energy inside his organs to walk through one of the mountains and created a hidden cave. He used his blood to engrave a Heaven Deception Array, and it seems to work.

Crack!

The very first thing he did was crush one of the Saint Talismans that he bought with his military merit. This secret realm teemed with Saints, and the agreement both sides signed made no mention that transcendent powers could not attack weaker cultivators. As someone with many enemies and who values his life, Wang Wei has many protections. However, he still bought others, including [Aura Hiding Talisman], [Anti-Divination Talisman], and [Void Breaking Talisman] — all Saint Tiers. And these were all true talismans, created by a Saint through the Talisman Dao, not the kind Maitreya would forcibly create. All of Wang Wei’s military contributions were gone, but he did not regret his action.

Wang Wei frowned. "Why does it feel like even the Saint’s power is not as potent as it should be?" The aura when the talisman was activated was not as terrifying as it should have been. He crushed the [Anti-Divination Talisman] and the result was the same. Wang Wei closed his eyes to access his Sea of Consciousness.

The second-step talisman he received from the duchess was placed inside his mind and programmed to activate when his life was in danger. After all, the speed and perception of a Paragon and Saint are worlds apart, making Wang Wei fear he would die before he could even activate his protective measures.

’Yes, even this talisman’s aura has drastically weakened,’ Wang Wei pondered. After a short analysis, he figured out the truth: ’This world heavily favors [Essence], meaning the other two talents will be suppressed. 90% of Primordial Saints have condensed their Soul Quintessence, meaning they will suffer this world’s restrictions. Tribunal Saints have both Flesh and Soul Quintessence, meaning only half their powers would be weakened. Meanwhile, Grand Dao Saints possess a Dao Quintessence; it is the source of their Dao. Even without the Grand Dao Source, they can probably still use their laws.’

He suddenly thought of his wife’s prototype of a Dao Quintessence. If she were here, the rules of this world probably wouldn’t have affected her much if she used a bit of power from those 3800 Seals. A glint flashed deep in Wang Wei’s eyes; he was more determined than ever to condense his own prototype.

’Let’s not focus on that for now. I need a plan on how to survive in this world,’ Wang Wei contemplated. Without his Dao Source, access to any of the Grand Constructs, and a severely restricted soul, his strength had reduced too much. He needed a plan.

’I could recondense my Dao Tree and regain access to normal Laws,’ Wang Wei strategized. ’However, that would only increase my strength by a small percentage." The laws he had cultivated in the [Mortal Stage] of cultivation were a fundamental part of him, fused with his [Dao Body]. However, their effects paled in comparison to the source of all Daos.

’The other option is this secret world’s Innate Law or even Heavenly Law,’ Wang Wei thought. He had already determined that this secret world was an entire world, and it seemed perfect, maybe even on par with Timeline NP89076H or any other timelines in the Infinite Trichiliocosm.

’And if I could gain Heavenly Dao to grant access to its Will blessing, my strength would return, regain control over my power, but strength wouldn’t change much,’ Wang Wei continued. Such a method would better increase the diversity of his methods since he won’t have to rely only on his flesh, but the increase to his strength wouldn’t be by that much.

’Not to mention the cons: what if this world’s Heavenly Dao recognized my status as a foreign invader?’ Wang Wei shook his head. The risks and rewards of this plan were too disproportionate. Not to mention how it might not even work. The rules of this word favor [Essence], not the Dao.

"Since the rules favor the fleshly body, that should be the focus," Wang Wei muttered. He closed his eyes and began to cultivate. Although he didn’t want to admit it, the sad truth is that his fleshly body cultivation had been neglected. This secret realm was the perfect opportunity.

For the next ten thousand years, Wang Wei did not leave the mountain. He spent day and night creating new Fleshly Body Techniques to increase his battle methods. He also polished his [Elder Fiendgod Realm]. Although his strength did not increase, his understanding of the [Essence] had improved, which will be immensely beneficial to creating his Flesh Quintessence Methods.

"Hmm?" Wang Wei suddenly opened his eyes from his meditative state. He suddenly sensed something nearby his retreat. He did not deploy his divine sense to check. Instead, he activated his newly created Fleshly Body Divine Ability: Dharma Eyes. His vision penetrated an endless distance to see the source of the commotion: a group of people hunting after an injured woman carrying a young child about five years old. Wang Wei frowned as his eyes stopped on the hunter party’s leader.
