’Is the True Essence Lineage about to rise?’ Wang Wei contemplated. With two talents like Mu Lei and Yin Gen, it’s not out of the ordinary to say their faction is about to flourish. ’It seems that Grand Dao has curved the development of pure body refiners after the second True Transcendent, so it’s not guaranteed they will rise. Hopefully, Grand Dao will be less strict with them; otherwise, their fate will be the same.’
If Grand Dao doesn’t relent, the best that will happen to the True Essence Lineage is that their faction will come close to a transcendent faction but fail to reach that level truly — just like they did in the Golden Era.
’If I want to understand enough about [Essence] to build the fourth gate, the knowledge of the sect might not be enough. So, I should start investing in the True Essence Lineage,’ Wang Wei planned. ’The most direct way to what I want would be to find out where the Body Ancestor’s soul was reincarnated. His disappearance could be an accident during the reincarnation process or the secret machination of the Yama King or someone else. Once I become a true [Earth Emperor], I may be able to find out and exchange that information for all their knowledge.’
Wang Wei nodded in satisfaction; he knew how to treat their lineage in the upcoming catastrophe. He waved his hand to send a talisman to Yu Cai about acquiring the Concentrated Essence Dew; this thing could be essential for his next plan.
’I’m tired of drinking tea and wine, so let’s change the meeting location,’ Wang Wei thought before walking out of his room. There was a small pond in his backyard, and he decided to fish. The pond only looked small on the surface but had an entire dimension full of different creatures. In just a few hours, Wang Wei caught a few rare Sea and Demon races.
"This is too easy and not as fun as I thought," Wang Wei complained. "In that case, let’s make it interesting." He pointed at the pond, and his Dao of Fate and Luck enveloped it. With a grin on his face, Wang Wei threw his fishing rod into the pond. The thin line disappeared from the pond and appeared in the Blue Dress Universe in the Limitless Exchange Hall’s territory.
No one saw this thin rod line as it penetrated the defense of the best Empyrean Lineage of that area and hooked itself into a scroll.
"Caught something?" Wang Wei yanked the rod to pull out the scroll. "A sword technique? It’s quite decent for an Empyrean Technique." Although this thing was useless to him, it was better than nothing. Wang Wei cast his rod a second time, but his luck was not so good, and he only caught a bottle of Emperor Pills.
"Now, this is how fishing should be done," Wang Wei nodded. He deactivated his luck to ensure his catch would indeed be random. Time passed, and soon, his next guest arrived.
"The famous Infinite Sword Emperor, Jian Wushuang," Wang Wei said without looking back. "No, Sword Empyrean — I’m surprised." Jian Wushuang did not acquire much merit in the lower dimension and only proved the Dao by working for the Rebellion. So, the fact he could become an Empyrean in just 10,000 Yuan Epoch was somewhat of an anomaly.

"Who dare call themselves famous before you," Jian Wushuang said with a smile before sitting beside him. Wang Wei glanced at him and knew why his cultivation was so fast — the destiny of the Ultimate Sword Path. Even though his father was the chosen one, this bastard has been doing his best to tap into that destiny, trying to become the chosen one. Although he failed, he still benefited immensely in the process.
"Who is this beautiful lady?" Wang Wei asked, glancing at the woman accompanying him.
"That’s Lady Su Li; she’s the most talented descendant of the Seven-Strike Sword Sage," Jian Wushuang introduced.
"It’s an honor," Wang Wei saluted. "I’ve heard countless praises about the Sword Sage from my ancestor."
"I very much doubt that," Su Li replied rudely. The Sword Path League has 3 Primals, also known as the 3 Sword Sages, but the entire league has a bad relationship with the Dao Opening Sect because Yan Hai holds the title of the greatest swordsman in the world and the Sword Grand Dao Source position.
"I can see you’re not very good at political speech," Wang Wei commented, and Jia Wushuang smiled wryly.
"I’m just direct," Su Li replied.
"I guess there is nothing wrong with that. Here — check your luck," Wang Wei handed them each a rod. Although they were confused, they accepted his offer. Wang Wei caught a healing paste that worked only in Tier 3 and below. However, his two guests were quite lucky. Jian Wushuang caught a sword talisman with a strike close to a Paragon, while Su Li caught an Empyrean Artifact that was once a Paragon Artifact.
"Compared to me, you’re quite lucky," Wang Wei nodded.
"This is?" Jian Wushuang asked, trying to control the shock in his voice.
"Think of it as a meeting gift," Wang Wei smiled. "Let’s get to business. Did you guys just come here to say hello?"
"No, we have official business," Jian Wushuang said. However, he did not follow up with his words; in fact, his expression became subtler, as if he was trying to tip-toe around whatever subject he was about to bring up.
"Well?" Wang Wei asked.
"It’s like this: our league noticed the destiny for the Ultimate Sword Path changed owner."
A hint of worry and anger flashed in Wang Wei’s eyes but disappeared at the same speed they appeared. "That’s right." Jian Wushuang noticed the brief change in his atmosphere and chose his words carefully.
"The Sword Emperor is now the holder, correct?"
"Get to the point," Wang Wei said.
"Our league is wondering how much is she attached to that destiny?"
Wang Wei stopped handling the rod and looked at him: "You want to exchange that destiny with the Sword Emperor?"
"That’s right," Jian Wushuang admitted.
"Why would you want to do that?"
"Isn’t that obvious?" Su Li butted in.
"The destiny of the Ultimate Sword Path could be the key that raises our league to the next level," Jian Wushuang added.
"You have a point," Wang Wei nodded. However, his intuition told him something fishy was going on. The Sword Path League did not want that destiny only for the sake of their faction’s rise; Wang Wei felt there was some kind of secret behind all of this.
"But, why are you telling me this? Shouldn’t you wait for the ancestor’s return and discuss it with her?"
"Well, you know how bad our two faction’s relationship is," Jian Wushuang added. "So, I was wondering whether you could be a mediator."
"Because of our friendship, the best I can do for you is to pass on the message. As for being a mediator? Forget it." There was nothing to gain in this transaction, and Wang Wei guessed his ancestor would not accept this trade, so what was the point in getting too involved.
"We will compensate you," Su Li said.
"I’m not a swordsman, so I doubt most of the things you can offer will entice me."
Su Li was about to say something, but Jian Wushuang raised his hand to stop her. "If I may ask, is your father alive?"
Wang Wei’s eyes suddenly turned dangerous: "What’s it to you?"
"If he’s alive, we may be able to track him down," Jian Wushuang quickly replied.
"Oh?"
"Our league holds the destiny of Sword Dao. With the right price, we can track anyone who has ever called themselves a swordsman and is a citizen of the Eternal Ascension World."
A twinkle flashed in Wang Wei’s eyes: "How effective is your search?"
"We may need your help, but as long as he is alive, we can track him down even in other Chaos Worlds."
"That is quite the effect," Wang Wei muttered. This was an offer worth thinking over. "As much as I want to find my father, I also don’t want to appear as if I have sold my ancestor for my own benefit. So, you need to come up with something truly exceptional for me to become your mediator."
"This is what we are prepared to exchange for that destiny," Jian Wushuang replied before transmitting the information directly into Wang Wei’s mind.
"That is an offer that could tempt her," Wang Wei nodded. "I agree to your conditions, but beware that I do not guarantee success." Experience tales at freewebnovel
"We understand this," Jian Wushuang nodded. The League knows of their terrible relationship with Yan Hai, so they were more than satisfied with someone of this level of influence and power acting as the mediator. Otherwise, their only option would be to fight the Dao Opening Sect to get what they want.
"Good."
The next step was to sign a binding contract to finalize this deal. Wang Wei then arranged accommodations for those two and the other swordsmen from the league that were coming at a later date.
