Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor C496 Anomalies

Chapter 496 Anomalies

Inside the Golden Chariot, Wang Wei was reading about the cultivation system created by the Martial Ancestor from the world called Martial Haven World.

The first stage is called Body Tempering Realm. Albeit cliche, most cultivation systems usually start with tempering the body to some degree. However, this Martial Exterior System, as the Martial Ancestor called it, is unique in some ways.

The tempering process is quite thorough. Martial Artis have to temper their skins, muscles, bones, and blood in the first realm. In the second realm, the Viscera Realm, they used the blood energy from their fleshly bodies to temper their organs.

Right after hearing this part, Wang Wei could see the uniqueness of this system; it is excellent for teaching body control at a very early stage. In the second stage, cultivators already began to control their organs.

The third stage of this system is called True Yuan Realm. Martial artists finally condensed energy inside their bodies. This realm is further divided into two phases: Body Purification and Meridian Opening.

The third stage is truly interesting. In the first stage, martial artists removed the natural impurities in the body, which somewhat solved the problem of not having a [Leakless Body].

Without impurities, Spiritual Qi can remain inside the body for an extended period–albeit not as long as a natural Leakless Body. In essence, this stage is to cultivate an Acquired Leakless Body.

And the second stage is not just opening the meridians in the body. No, it is about creating artificial energy pathways in the body that allow Martial artists to better sense and control the Spiritual Qi between Heaven and Earth.

'This is similar to the Divine Veins in the Divine Altar Realm. Most likely, the Martial Ancestor took inspiration from there,' thought Wang Wei after reading the third stage of this cultivation system.

Then, he pondered whether it would be a good idea to open his "meridian" in the new body he would cultivate. However, he decided otherwise as this was the same as having more Divine Veins. Previously, he stopped inscribing them in his altar because he reached the energy sensing and control limit they could provide.

Then, Wang Wei had another idea. The Meridians formed a cycle inside the martial artist's body, and after Spiritual Qi or their True Yuan circled through them, it tempered their bodies.

So, Wang Wei calculated how effective a meridian cycle of blood energy from his fleshly body would be; it should increase his overall strength by 3 to 5%.

Furthermore, the tempering is permanent and constant increases. Over time, as blood energy constantly cycled through his body, Wang Wei can passively temper his body every day.

Additionally, if the meridian pathway is complex enough, it will increase his regenerative speed and overall control over his body.

"I'm truly a genius," praised Wang Wei before continuing his focus on this martial art system. Just by reading the first three stages, he could determine a lot of things.

The Martial Ancestor created this because he did not have a Leakless Body. As a result, this system does not rely too much on Spiritual Qi between Heaven and Earth.

It does not mean martial artists do not use many resources. On the contrary, Wang Wei could imagine how they have to eat a lot of demonic or spiritual beasts to absorb Spiritual Qi and blood energy from them.

Although they do not rely too heavily on Spiritual Qi in the early stages, resources are essential.

The fourth stage of this system is the Martial Intent Realm. In this realm, martial artists have to comprehend [Intent], like Sword Intent, Fist Intent, etc. And once they reach a certain level, they will use their intent to open their Sea of Consciousness.

In the fifth stage, True Soul Realm, martial artists fused their [Intent] with their souls to create a True Soul similar to a Primordial Spirit. In that stage, martial artists can freely fly in the air with no restrictions and attack the mind or spirit.

The sixth stage is the Acupoint Opening Realm. They have to use their spiritual strength and their Yuan Essence (Evolved from True Yuan) to open the acupoints in the body.

In the seventh stage, Cave Heaven Realm, they have to fuse their Acupoints, Dantian, and Sea of Consciousness into an illusory world called a Cave Heaven, which can boost the martial artist's strength and power.

The eighth stage is called Hollow World Realm, where martial artists have to understand the laws to turn the illusory nature of their world into a semi-real and semi-false world.

Zhen Chao was in this realm, but he used secret techniques and Black Heart's help to turn his Cave Heaven into a True World in advance while reinforcing it beyond normal.

Finally, he used the Karma Connections he had with Wang Wei and Black Heart's power to summon him inside forcefully.

After a martial artist's Cave Heaven turned into a real world, it is the ninth realm, the True World Realm, which is the equivalent of the Supreme Realm. In that stage, they have to expand the world to the limit through understanding the law and numerous resources.

Finally, martial artists have to fuse their real world into their bodies to reach the Quasi-Emperor Realm. Wang Wei guessed the Martial Ancestor must have quite the complex feeling for the Origin System if he gave this name to this cultivation stage.

Then, he focused on comparing the two systems. The later stage of this system is very similar. For example, the Domains of Saint is a projection of their Divine Sea, their Sea of Consciousness, and their Law Altar into the outside world to influence it; it is both real and unreal, just like a Cave Heaven.

The main difference between the two is their sturdiness. It is extremely more difficult to destroy a Cave Heaven than a Domain. However, the backlash suffered is more severe for the destruction of the latter than the Domain.

Additionally, a lot of resources are needed to grow the True World of Martial Artists, which grants them a higher battle strength on average than Supreme Realm's Dharma Bodies, who only have to rely on comprehending the Dao.

Then there is the issue of lifespan. One would think martial artists have a higher life span since they are the ruler of a literal universe. Unfortunately, the burden of carrying that world drastically affect their bodies and life span.

So, on average, they can only live between 250,000 to 500,000 years, which is the lifespan of Saints in the Origin System.

Wang Wei pondered the benefit he could get from this system. He did not want to cultivate a Cave Heaven since he had already consumed so many resources and will even increase his intake with the nine incarnations. He preferred the Domain System since it was less reliant on resources.

As for how he will make his Domain and Dharma Body unique to increase the power of his Duyi Realm, he will just use the simple method of fusing the other nine Domains and Dharma Bodies from the incarnations.

Nevertheless, he thought of creating a technique that could instantly create a Cave Heaven or an illusory world and detonate it. And in the future, he can advance it to the point of instantly creating thousands of real worlds to use as bombs.

After making a preliminary plan, he did not waste time and immediately began to refine Zhen Chao into one of his incarnations. First, he had the latter get rid of all the Yuan Essence inside his body.

He did not waste it but made Zhen Chao's fleshly body absorb it. Next, he sealed the latter's comprehension of all Laws so as not to affect the early stages of cultivation.

Then, he injected one of his Spirit Particles into Zhen Chao's True Soul and slowly invaded it until it had Wang Wei's aura and soul fluctuation. Wang Wei was satisfied with the final product.

Zhen Chao will be one of his most unique incarnations. For example, he had the idea of fusing with the Dharma Body and the True World to enter the Quasi-Emperor. However, he has to make sure Black Heart does not leave some hidden power in the Cave World.

Finally, Wang Wei began to absorb Zhen Cha's Fate Line to acquire the properties of a Fateless. He watched as his Fate Line became vague and mysterious, followed by all the knots or Fate Nexus disappearing.

A smile appeared on Wang Wei's face before becoming stiff. He suddenly felt an unknown power resisting the final transition, trying to leave more knots in his Fate Line.

Then, another unknown power came to resist that first power, and after a brief confrontation, a single knot was left in his Fate Line: It was a meeting with a woman called Xu Jinyao. He did not see her face, but he knew her name.

'This isn't right. From all I read about Fateless, this should not be the case."

Bang!

Wang Wei felt the chariot shake a little. He quickly looked outside through the formation, and his eyes lit up.

"Perfect timing," he muttered as he exited the chariot.

"I knew you kid would pass the trial," said Wang Wucheng, who teleported Wang Wei back to the sect.

"Forget about that. Ancestor, what will happen if someone absorbs the soul of a Fateless?"

"Weird question. Well, divination will become completely useless to them. Other forms of calculations will drastically decrease, and if that person proves the Dao, he can no longer be calculated by anyone or anything. All their Nexus Events will disappear and achieve some level of freedom from the control of fate," replied Wang Wucheng after pondering for a while.

"All their Nexus Events?"

"Yes, all of them."

Wang Wei frowned as he knew his case was an anomaly. By now, he has experienced a few anomalies in his cultivation journey. The first one was when he had Heart Demon before even starting cultivating.

The second one was during his battle against the Wrath of Heaven in the Ninth Pagoda Trial. The third one was his black Qi Luck after entering the Duyi Realm.

From what he knew, he was the only one that happened to; no one else who entered the Duyi Realm faced this anomaly.

The fourth anomaly was another random Heart Demon in the Divine Altar Realm after he slaughtered the majority of the demon races in the Qi Luck Trial.

Now, a fifth one appeared.

Wang Wucheng looked at Wang Wei weirdly but did not say anything. He knew this kid was abnormal, so it was normal for weird things to happen to him. So, he decided not to get involved for his sake and probably the entire Dao Opening Sect.

"I know you probably want to see your family, so go see them," said Wang Wucheng. "Come see me in a few days, and I will prepare the resources you need to condense your body."

Wang Wei woke up from pondering before saying: "I want to replace the material for my skin, muscles, bones, and blood with Innate treasures."

"No problem," replied Wang Wucheng calmly. "I'll even give you a real Chaos Flame for your heart."

Wang Wei's eyes lit up as that was a Chaos-level treasure. So, he nodded before leaving.
