Chapter 1347 All The Preparations

"You want to spread the Mortal Civilization through the Void Illusion Realm?" Yan Hai asked. Wang Wei was shocked after hearing her words, looking at up and down. Yan Hai's lips twitched before she summoned a bamboo and waved it at him. Wang Wei tried to dodge, but to his surprise, the bamboo hit him on his head, and the thing hurt like hell.
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Yan Hai asked. Many people thought she was all muscle and no brain, so she had seen these kinds of looks before. "Ancestor, I apologize," Wang Wei quickly said. He could not help it. Yan Hai seems to have a temperament that makes people underestimate her intelligence. Yan Hai snorted coldly.
"What's that bamboo?" Wang Wei asked. He had a feeling that no matter what he did, he would not be able to dodge it.
"Ancestral Discipline Stick," Yan Hai said with a sneer. "I made especially for disobedient descendants like you. As long as you have the blood of the Yan, Li, and Yan Clan flowing through your blood, you can't escape its punishment."
Wang Wei was shocked by these words but shook his head. This was Yan Hai's temperament, so he should not be surprised she made such a thing. Most of the cruel ways the Dao Opening Sect raised disciples and geniuses are rules she created and left.
"You don't seem convinced."
"No, I didn't say anything," Wang Wei swiftly said.
"It's written in your face that you can find a way to avoid. Unfortunately for you, until you become a Primal Paragon and gain the title of [Ancestor], you can never escape."
"Never?" Wang Wei asked, focusing on the absoluteness of her words.
"Never," Yan Hai reiterated.
"Then, isn't this thing dangerous?"
"Don't worry. It can discipline but never kill," Yan Hai explained. "In the past, some stupid people paid a heavy price to get their hands on it, thinking they could use it to control or eliminate our family. Unfortunately for them, this thing can only be used by the four of us, and it cannot kill any of our bloodlines."
"I see," Wang Wei said, feeling relief. Although he will have to be careful with his words around the ancestors for now, at least he does not have to worry about a weapon that is the weakness of his bloodline.
"Let's get back to the topic," Wang Wei said.
"I know where the seal is, but it won't matter even if you get your hands on it."
Wang Wei knew what she meant. According to records, the Void Illusion Realm did not allow mortals to enter. "Is there a way?" Wang Wei did not read too much about this subject in the library since this was not his main focus. As such, he had to ask. Yan Hai frowned and pondered. Wang Wei waited, but after a few minutes with no answer, he realized he may have to search the library.
"I remember now," Yan Hai suddenly said. "Long ago, even before the Endless Tribulation Era, the Ancestor of the Ma Family created the Void Illusion Realm. You may be able to gain some control or authority over it and change the rules to allow mortals to enter."
"The Ma Family?" Wang Wei said with a frown. "Why have I never heard of them?" He reviewed his memories of all the Paragon Lineages he knew but had never heard of such a family.
"You probably think their family is some kind of top lineage, but you're wrong," Yan Hai said. "The Ma Clan has already ruined the luck their ancestors provided them, and Heavenly Dao no longer protects them. It's a miracle they still exist today."
Wang Wei nodded. "Can the Ma Clan's bloodline grant me the authority over the Void Illusion Realm?"
"Of course not," Yan Hai replied. "If that were possible, their clan would have been extinct by now."
"True," Wang Wei said as he realized what a stupid thing he said. If these people had that power, the top lineages would have captured and raised them like pigs to gain control over the Void Illusion Realm. Wang Wei motioned for his ancestor to keep talking.
"Their clan should have a Luck Condensing Artifact. Under normal circumstances, this should not be enough to influence that realm, but we're living in unprecedented times. I'm sure you can make use of it."
"Indeed," Wang Wei nodded. "Where are they?"
"That, I don't know," Yan Hai answered. "They have been hiding since this era started."
"Then, how am I supposed to find them?"
"That's your business," Yan Hai replied nonchalantly, making Wang Wei groan. Divination was unreliable, and it might not have been possible to rely on directly gathering information. Even if it were, it may not work, not to mention how long that may take.
"Do you have a token or something that is connected to the Void Illusion Realm? Or maybe a password," Wang Wei asked. These items were enough for a Karma Master such as himself to find something.
"The password is [Lord of Infinite Illusion]," Yan Hai said. "In the past, you only need to close your eyes and repeat these words to enter."
Wang Wei sighed. He guessed these would have to do. He thought a moment to ponder deeply, refining his plans once again. "Ancestor, do you have to use one strike at your peak?" he asked.
"Why are you asking?"
"I need a way to break the seal instantly."
"I see," Yan Hai nodded before opening her treasury dimensions. "I remember I still had one left. Oh, here it is." She summoned a talisman and handed it to him. "This talisman contained my highest sword attack. It should work."
"Ancestor, why do you have such a thing?"
"What is it to you?"
"I"m just curious," Wang Wei replied. He only condenses these things as gifts or defensive measures to give to others. Most people are like this.
"My Sword Dao has high attack potency, but it also requires accumulation and build-up. So, I often store my highest potency attack in talismans to use in battle, usually for emergencies," Yan Hai explained before sighing. "These things saved my life. Otherwise, I would also be in Limbo."
"I see," Wang Wei nodded. "Well, thank you, ancestor." He bowed politely to show his respect.
"No problem, and don't forget to show more respect to your elders," Yan Hai said, waving her bamboo stick. Wang Wei's lips twitched. He could already predict how many of the lower dimension's Emperors had suffered under that stick, and he did not want to be one of them.
"I will," Wang Wei nodded stiffly. "One more thing. I need your help with something else." Wang Wei explained his plan, making Yan Hai sighed. "I just got back in shape, and now you…*sigh*. I'm old. Can you give these rusty bones a break?"
'What is this? Being too invested in a role?' Wang Wei controlled himself not to roll his eyes. He did not expect his ancestors to have such a quirk.
"Well, what do you have to say?"
Wang Wei noticed how weird her eyes were, and he realized if he said something wrong, she might use this as an excuse to hit him again with that stick.
"Ancestors, you know us younglings have to rely on your help and wisdom," Wang Wei quickly said.
Yan Hai looked at him and smiled: "This ancestor like descendants with sweet mouths." She then waved his hand to leave. Wang Wei walked out of the room with a gentle smile on his face. He has never been so relaxed ever since that damn lock appeared.
He teleported away, but his destination was not the seal or the Ma Clan. He returned home to check on Mongke's preparations before visiting the Lawless Zone. He chatted with Old Man Dai, but they soon had an argument and fought. Of course, now that Wang Wei had more experience in the Ways of Paragons, the old man was not his match, so he left that place having fulfilled his goal.
His next goal was to meet Xun Junyao. It took a month before he could contact the latter and meet at a rendezvous point. They talked for a few hours before Wang Wei left to revisit Emperor Kong. They had one more chat before starting his work.
Beyond his sight, Wang Wei saw a mysterious gray fog. He looked at it, not hiding the complex emotions brewing in his mind. He shook his head to concentrate before condensing a karmaless clone and sending it to the fog. However, the clone did not reach its destination before an unknown power annihilated it.
'As expected,' Wang Wei sighed. Supreme Unity blocked the path to the Dark Truth. He left a barrier at the entrance, preventing people from entering or leaving. Wang Wei was not surprised by this move. Wu Hong was one of his greatest reliance in the Cultivation World. Heavenly Dao sealed her during his Outlaw Trial, and Supreme Unity made the same move.
He teleported away to the Ma Clan
