Chapter 1329 Sixth Flesh Tribulation

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Wang Wei had already reached the peak of the Third Heaven, so he only needed to focus on his Body-Will Fusion. He had much knowledge of the subject, whether from the Desolate Emperor or Wu Hong, so he took time to ensure perfection in the [Beginning] stage of Body-Will Fusion.

Once he met the standard, he did not hesitate to summon the Sixth Flesh Tribulation. This test could be said to be simple but also challenging. A spinning wheel manifested before Wang Wei, and it released an aura that made his heart palpitate. He did not hesitate and plunged his right hand into the wheel.

A terrifying force broke his body arm apart. The frightening part is Wang Wei did not sense any power similar to True Will, but he knew this wheel could erase his arm from existence without any ability to heal. In other words, if he fails this test, he'll permanently lose his limb. Unless he found some extremely rare and valuable Tier 12 herbs, he'll never be able to regrow it.

Wang Wei controlled his emotions to proceed. The wheel's purpose is not to kill or remove his limbs; its purpose is to test whether he met the standard of Body-Will Fusion. So, after he put his hand through, his right arm was torn apart but regenerated immediately. This proved that he had acquired some characteristics of Will Immortality.

Wang Wei removed his hand from the spinning wheel and checked it. He soon discovered a few spots in his skin, muscles, veins, bones, blood, and even cells that it did regenerate. The wheel trembled slightly before removing the power inside Wang Wei's body that hindered his regeneration. However, Wang Wei did not immediately regrow this flesh, but instead, he spread his willpower to the areas he detected. Once that was done, he plunged his hand into the wheel again.

He rechecked his hand and found five spots that did not regenerate. He fixed them before plunging his hand into the wheel for a third time. Once he finished, something different occurred: His right hand turned golden.

"Perfect fusion and I only did it on three tries," Wang Wei praised himself. He knew he did the right thing by absorbing Ji Song's physiques. His already terrifying body-refining talent reached another level after that. However, he still hoped to follow after his future wife and absorb someone with the Primordial Essence Physique.

After admiring his work, Wang Wei proceeded with his left hand. The first time is the most important. If it fails, it means he will lose all his limbs. Afterward, all cultivators will have a few tries to correct their errors and achieve a perfect fusion. The more talented a person is, the more tries they have. The irony is that most gifted individuals usually do not need many opportunities. Sadly, the wheel or its creator — Grand Dao — does not care.

Someone like Wang Wei can have at least a hundred tries to perfect his fusion as long as he meets the requirements after the first attempt. Meanwhile, ordinary geniuses will have 10 to 50 tries, and non-talented people will have less than 10 attempts.

After perfecting his left hand, Wang Wei felt the barrier in his cultivation disappearing. Without much effort, he broke through the Fourth Heaven. He took the Primordial Essence Blessing Pill and swallowed it. A terrifying power burst into his body, rapidly increasing his physical body's stats. Wang Wei was delighted. He should be able to absorb this pill in a little over 2 Yuan Epochs, which is not long.

So, he decided to take this time to temper his Willpower before proceeding with the fusion. He can summon the Will of Nothingness with his Human Fiendgod Bloodline to temper his willpower, making the effect extraordinary. However, it was still painful and dangerous since he could be assimilated at any time. Simultaneously, this approach is an excellent way for him to train for his upcoming achievement of the Taboo Realm.

Time passed, and Wang Wei's strength reached the peak of Six Heavens; this meant he could fight Empyreans with the cultivation of 82% Grand Dao with his flesh alone. There were still some effects remaining inside Wang Wei's body. But he needed to enter the [Intermediate] stage of Body-Will Fusion and pass another tribulation before reaching the seventh heaven.

So, he had to stop tempering his willpower and focus on the fusion. The process took time and meticulous care, and, as always, it was excruciatingly painful. There is a reason that all body refiners are masochists. Grand Dao wanted to place restrictions on this path, especially since it does not take as long to cultivate. A pure body refiner that absorbs the Heaven Will can become an Empyrean in less than a yuan epoch. Afterward, as long as an Everlasting Empyrean is talented enough, has enough resources, can bear the pain, and has an excellent technique for tempering their willpower and fusion, they can quickly reach the next realm in slightly over 30,000 Yuan Epochs. Of course, it's referring to people like Wang Wei, who can get their hands on things like the Primordial Essence Blessing Pill.

Meanwhile, the average Emperor will take 20,000 to 50,000 Yuan Epochs to become Empyreans, and geniuses will take a little over 10,000. If they have blessings of merit and luck like the people from Wang Wei's era, it will take even less time than that.

As for the average time to become a Paragon? Well, things are different. The average time for people to cultivate from the lowest level of the Empyrean Realm(70%) to the peak (89%) is 250,000 Yuan Epochs to half a million. Geniuses can do it in over 150,000 Yuean Epochs, and people with extreme talents or blessed with destiny, merit, and so on can do it in over 70,000 Yuan Epochs.

After reaching the peak of the Empyrean Realm, every cultivator must take a break. First, they must start cultivating their souls, which takes time. Then, they must find ways to increase their luck and temper their mind. Living a long life and experiencing many things is the most common method of tempering the Dao Heart to prepare for the Time Washing Tribulation.

Finally, there is the problem of the Paragon Tribulation. Most people will be stuck in the Empyrean Realm, unable to progress because they fear that tribulation. Of course, in this current political era, these numbers mean nothing. Most people will take longer to cultivate because they fear being placed on a list for assassination by the parasites.

For the Intermediate Stage Tribulation, Wang Wei had to perfect his two legs. Once they turned golden, the remaining energy from the pill allowed him to enter the seventh Heaven, and the pill effect ended. He knew his rapid progress ended, but that was relative to using the pill.

Wang Wei waved his hand, and a meal appeared before him. He took one whiff and felt the strength inside his body surge. "Yeah, no matter what, I'll marry you," he muttered. He did not immediately consume this food, so he activated his Essence Flower Ability to increase his strength. Instead, he consumed a few pills and herbs with the ability to accelerate his bloodline's growth. He took a two-long approach of bloodline growth and food cultivation to ensure he could reach the nine Heavens as soon as possible.

Wang Wei took a bite of his food. 'Is this what the Hell Suppressing Elephant tastes like?" His eyes were bright. Wu Hong left cards for him to describe all the dishes she left for him, and this one was from a rare Innate Demon God born from the underworld. The meat is soft, not chewy, and it releases soft Yin power immensely beneficial to the soul.

Wang Wei continued his training. With access to unparalleled food, the heaven-defying ability of his Essence Flower, and the rapid excavation of his bloodline power, his fleshly body cultivation increases at what could be described as record-breaking speed. As such, he soon reached the ninth Heavens and immediately started the [Advance] level Body-Will Fusion.

Wang Wei had to be careful about this test since it was fatally dangerous. The target of the wheel this time around was his torso, and failure meant he would die permanently. So, Wang Wei took extra time to ensure the fusion was successful, and as a result, he achieved the golden body after his second attempt.

Wang Wei did not stop and continued his momentum. He swallowed a rare top-tier Empyrean Pill called the Complete Vessel Pill, which had the function of helping people in the Nine Heavens reach the Tenth Heavens at a faster rate. With this pill and his flower's ability to break the bottlenecks in body refining cultivation, he entered the last steps in the Adult Fiendgod Realm.

Wang Wei then focused on the [Perfect] Body-Will Fusion, whose target was his head. This part was also a death sentence during the tribulation, so Wang Wei took extra care before taking the test. He even took the Fake Wheel Pill, which allowed him to preemptively test whether he met the requirement without the threat of dying. Although this pill is not a hundred percent accurate, it's still an excellent way to measure whether someone is ready for the test.

After Wang Wei perfected his head, his entire body turned golden. He now had a pseudo [Will Immortality]. He checked his body and saw the [Gate of Flesh]. He knew as long as he opened it, he would become a Paragon. However, Wang Wei resisted the urge. This was not something he could do on a whim. The gate-opening process was dangerous and also required a terrifying tribulation. He would not open it until he was ready.

So, he focused on something else: his Sea of Consciousness. After his head reached perfection, his soul was nourished and increased by another 1%, becoming par with a Paragon of 95%. More importantly, his Sea of Consciousness was reinforced and became more solid, capable of withstanding more potent attacks.

'Excellent,' Wang Wei thought. 'Now, I don't have to worry about it being destroyed due to the [Nothingness Wheel].'
