Chapter 1013 Origin Hammer
1013 Origin Hammer
Sect Master Chen Ye sighed deeply. He knew of the steep decline of their sect ever since the Heaven Will Battle. Things then escalated after the appearance of Talisman Weapons. Their mountain controlled the majority of the Weapon Industry in the world, but now, they've received a major blow as their sales drastically decreased.
On top of everything, the Great Talisman City and many others began to attack their stores, taking control of them by any means necessary. They even suspected the Dao Opening Sect was part of this economic attack.
If he did not do something, the Origin Weapon Mountain might suffer a catastrophe in his hand.
'How can I see my ancestors if I let the sect decline in my hand?' thought Chen Ye, ignoring the room's quietness. 'However, the price to pay might be too much.'
His internal struggle was evident on his face, but no one said anything until a few minutes later as Advisor Kang intervened:
"Sect master, we are only doing the same thing as the Great Talisman City."
Sect Master Chen Yen immediately remembered what had happened to the Great Talisman City.
Their situation was even worse at the beginning of this era because of their leader's betrayal. But soon after, they announced they had mended their relationship with the court.
People did not believe them until rumors about the price they paid "leaked," everyone praised Tong Ruobing and the city for their ruthless move.
"Yes, since that little girl can be so decisive and ruthless, can I be that inferior to her? Prepare everything, I'll see the Heavenly Emperor immediately."
"Sect master is wise," nodded Advisor Kang, and everyone praised the sect master before discussing the logistics. After preparing everything, they sent a communication talisman to the court for a meeting.
Heavenly Court:
Wang Wei looked at the pill before him,surrounded by formations, deep in thought.
'So, the limit is Extreme Tier?'
The first method of refining Innate Pills he created that used the Divine Sea could only refine Pseudo Pills that were on par with
Quasi-Emperor Tier - they could be described as the best amongst that tier. After the revival of the environment and gaining access to Innate Qi, that method could create Innate Pills on par with Fake Immortal Pills, and since then, the Origin Pill Dao Sect has not updated that technique to refine true Immortal Tier Pill.
However, this method of using formation to replicate Heaven and Earth can create true Innate Pills; however, the limit is Extreme Tier, which is on par with First Class Emperors.
'Ultimate Tier Innate Pills should be possible to refine. However, such an act would affect the World's Source, and Heavenly Dao won't allow this to happen. Even normal Innate Pills require too much Innate Qi and will be under strict control; Heavenly Dao should make the Pill Tribulations extremely difficult.'
Wang Wei secretly shook his head. His method was very restrictive because it required someone accomplished in both Alchemy and Arrays to make, preventing too many people from attempting. Now, he knew the pill tribulations for his technique would be harsher than others.
'This technique will not be popular,' he concluded.
'Someone will probably create a way for an Alchemist and Array Master to work together to refine the pill, but before then, this method will not be popular.'
Wang Wei slowly took out a talisman to send the news to the sect to research this cooperative method. Although he did not care too much about this method, it was still a source of merit. He won't receive much if his technique is not spread and used.
Once finished, he looked in the distance and asked, "Is it me, or has Heavenly Dao become stricter?"
"You're right. Since Xu Shi's action and its increase in strength, it has become harsher in some of its rules," replied the clone.
"That can be both good and bad." The world needs order to function and develop, but too much order is a prison and can easily elicit rebellion.
"Have it or Old Man Tianji made any move since they learned about my injury?"
"No. They are both quiet."
Wang Wei nodded. Despite expecting this answer, he needed to ask. Heavenly Dao is an emotional program, so it should know better than to take this obvious bait. As for why it would take action against him? That's because its core programming is to maintain balance, and Wang Wei's power had long broken the scale, so it's in its nature to try to restrict him and tilt it back.
"The Origin Weapon Mountain people are here."
"Oh, so your plan succeeded?" Wang Wei smiled before walking to the throne room. Soon afterward, Sect Master Chen Ye walked in with a delegation. They kowtowed to show their deepest respect before presenting a gift, saying it was to honor the Heavenly Emperor and creating a deep pond between them.
Wang Wei's eyes lit up when he saw the gift: an ordinary-looking bronze hammer.
"Is that the Origin Hammer?" he asked as he held the hammer. "It was rumored the Weapon Ancestor was a blacksmith when he was a mortal.
As a remembrance of this past, when he created his life's greatest work - the Origin Hammer - he modeled it after his blacksmith hammer. Now, it appears this rumor was true."
"Our founder was a humble man who never forgot his origin."
Wang Wei gave him a side glance. Wu Hong once told him that Talisman and Weapon Ancestors did not become Eternals because of their arrogance and pride. So, he would not believe such words.
As he looked at the hammer, he was truly surprised. This weapon granted a natural 7% Grand Dao Boost; however, this was not its limit.
As the Luck Condensation Artifact of the Origin Weapon Mountain, it can perfectly carry the luck of the sect, which grants another 3% Grand Dao Boost.
In other words, any Emperors of their faction will have a 2-Fold Battle Realm after wielding this weapon.
'This thing is truly a masterpiece. Luckily, this thing had severe restrictions. Otherwise, the Origin Weapon Mountain would have been more powerful than it is.' Wang Wei was sure that probably only one Great Emperor since their mountain's founder could wield all the strength of that hammer.
The only time this weapon would be fully activated would be once the sect faced a terrible catastrophe.
"Are you sure you want to hand this weapon to me?" asked Wang Wei.
"Since the Great Talisman City can hand over their Luck Artifact for the generation, we can do the same," replied Chen Ye with confidence. Wang Wei chuckled as he understood the implications.
Anyways, as long as he can gather the [Civilization Destiny], he has no issue returning these factions'
luck and destiny before ascending. It would be a grave mistake to forcefully leave it to his sect, so he had no problem with those short loans.
"I appreciate this gift-especially since it's very timely," said Wang Wei, his face as pale as ever. "I consider myself generous, so I won't let you suffer."
He closed his eyes before dispatching his divine sense. A few seconds later, he waved his hand to manifest a cauldron in the middle of the room.
The thing immediately caught everyone's attention.
"This cauldron follows the same idea as the Mechanical Cauldron, but it's for weapons instead of pills. As you can see, it's incomplete because of my sect's lack of ability."
Wang Wei paused to allow them to process this information. "My previous plan was to gather everyone worldwide, sharing the merit anddestiny for completing this project. I will hand it over to your mountain for your great gift."
Chen Ye felt the world spinning; the excitement was too much. He knew the significance of this project and the blessing their mountain would receive once they completed it.
"After the project is finished, the cauldron will enter the Dream World. However, your mountain will have a share of the profit."
Chen Ye was happy he was a cultivator or would have fainted and humiliated himself. They had a meeting to discuss how profitable the Pill Mechanical Cauldron was. Even if he's only sharing some of the profit, he knows how much their mountain will benefit. More importantly, they will no longer be irrelevant in this upcoming era full of changes.
"Don't be happy too early," said Wang Wei, waking up some of these people from their daydreams.
"You will have a specific amount of time to finish this project. I will take it back if you don't meet my expectations."
"Your Majesty, we swear on our ancestors we will not let you down," hurriedly said Chen Ye as he knelt.
"That's good," nodded Wang Wei before pausing.
"I'm sorry about Chen Chen, but he had to die."
"No need for apologies. The Heaven Will Battle is cruel, and there is a reason it's called the Grave of Geniuses."
Wang Wei looked at him for a moment, "If there is nothing else, you can leave."
The delegation swiftly exited but did not hide the happiness in their strides. Meanwhile, Wang Wei looked at the hammer before him, sensing the new luck and destiny added to his court.
He could not help but smile; he now had the luck of the Origin Rune Mountain, Great Talisman City, Origin Weapon Mountain, and his sect. He only missed the Origin Pill Dao Sect to condense the [Civilization Luck] he planned. And if he could get his hands on the Qi Luck of the Ancient Clan, things would be perfect.
"How did you do it?"
"It was quite easy," replied the clone. "I only use a few of our Fate Shadow Guards to release some murmurs. Then, their advisor-a very wise man- understood my message and made things happen."
"The world would be so much easier if there were as many smart men as that advisor," joked Wang Wei.
"True. Now, the only missing piece is the Origin Pill Dao Sect. Any plans for them?"
"Lou Cheng and the Flame Emperors are still untouchable variables, so let's wait until they reveal their hands first."
"Yes, by then, our opportunity might come."
Wang Wei looked in the distance and muttered, "It's time."
He sent news to his mother to begin.
