After receiving the golden merit, Wang Wei did not absorb it directly in order to change his Qi Luck, but instead used it to increase his comprehension.
After absorbing some of the merit, Wang Wei found that his mind started to work a hundred times more rapidly. Adding on to his previous comprehension, Wang Wei could feel that his mind was working faster than a quantum computer.
Many things that he did not previously understand instantly became clear, however, he quickly reigned in his mind to focus on understanding his Qi Luck.
"So, that's how it is?" muttered Wang Wei after a few seconds. He finally understood why his transformation was not complete after so long.
Wang Wei had confused the Qi Luck of a person and the one of a nation. As a matter of fact, there are different kinds of Qi Lick.
There is the Human Qi Luck or Innate Qi Luck. This one the luck that everyone is born with; this luck to an extent determines your talent, the amount and kind of opportunities you will get during your life, and the chances you are to escape certain dangerous situations based on luck alone.
This kind of luck rarely changes and can only go all the way through purple-gold.
After realizing this, Wang Wei then suddenly realized how precious the Spirit Road Trial actually was as it allowed people to change their Innate Luck.
The second kind of luck is actually called Heavenly Luck, and it is granted by Heaven itself. The Qi Luck color of these people does not really matter as they are blessed by Heaven themselves. The highest level of Heavenly Luck is in fact the Son of Destiny.
The third kind of luck is referred to as Earthly Luck, and this is the category that a dynasty's Qi Luck falls under. This luck is created by gathering a small portion of destiny or luck from myriad things: people, lands, emotions, desires...etc. This kind of luck is somewhat similar to Incense, however, it is not as poisonous due to being more restrictive through karma.
As for Wang Wei's black Qi Luck, this was the result of him being rejected by Heaven and Earth. And this kind of thing is not as bad as it sounds because it means that it is very difficult for Heavenly Dao to plot against by using fortunate encounters as bait.
More importantly, for Wang Wei who desired to become free and unfettered, it means that he has the chance to control his own luck, and he succeeded.
The process of him turning his black Qi Luck back into purple is a transformation that occurs due to him slowly grasping his fate when it comes to controlling luck.
And now that he finally understood all the knowledge needed about Qi Luck, his transformation was complete, and Wang Wei also developed a new ability.
This ability is called [Destiny's Son], and as the name implies, Wang Wei could forcibly become the Son of Destiny of any world he is in. Then, his luck would be as legendary and scary as Long Aotian.
Everything would become easy for him to achieve. If he wanted some rare herb or material, just follow his instinct and he would eventually discover it. His chances of escaping true mortal dangers would increase dramatically.
In general, this ability is heaven defying, however, Wang Wei was not happy and he will not use it blindly.
As a person who truly understands Qi Luck, he knew that Heavenly Luck was actually a big pit. Do you think that Heavenly Dao would bless someone with luck for no reason?
Of course not. Heaven and Earth revolves around the concept of balance, of cause and effect. If something extraordinary happens to someone , then there must be a reason.
For example, the title of Son of Destiny sounds very appealing, however, Wang Wei knows that each Son of Destiny of any world is born or chosen for a reason.
And it is usually because the world sensed that a catastrophe is about to happen, so it chose someone as a Son of Destiny to cultivate in order to fight or prevent the disaster. So, those lucky bastards usually have a rough life despite being lucky as they have to go through countless trials and tribulations.
A perfect example of that was Long Aotian. The Heavenly Dao of the Warring Kingdom World chose him as the Son of Destiny in a desperate attempt to prevent all the participants of the trial from truly taking over the world.
Despite the fact that the Heaven Chosens mostly brought positive changes to the world, it did change the fact that they were foreigners, outsiders. So, the world's plan for Long Aotian to rise up and become the one to conquer the world. And maybe in the process, form an alliance with a few Heaven Chosens and use the advanced resources of their world to better this one.
According to the information that he learned from studying Qi Luck, and after watching the life of this world previous Son of Destiny, Wang Wei guesses that there was a reason that Long Aotian was teleported to Fang Lijuan after the explosion of the Secret Realm.
In all likelihood, Heavenly Dao wanted Long Aotian to seduce Fang Lijuan, then with her unreserved support, Long Aotian would have a better chance of conquering the world. And maybe found a way for this world to evolve from a Small Thousand World to a Middle Thousand World.
Unfortunately, Heavenly Dao greatly underestimated the Heaven Chosen of the Myriad Emperor World. More importantly, it underestimated Fang Lijuan's ruthlessness. It probably thought that with her arrogance, she would not do such a thing,
However, as a person who aspires to become Great Emperor, how could Fang Lijuan not swallow her pride when necessary? No matter how arrogant a person is, in front of endless power and immortality, who can resist?
So, after seeing the death of Long Aotian, Wang Wei has a newfound respect for this member of the Divine Clan. Unlike other members of her clan, she knows when to be arrogant, and when to reign in.
Of course Wang Wei is more interested in the talisman that was in Long Aotian's hand. If he guessed correctly, this talisman is very precious. And now that it has fallen into Fang Lijuan's hands, her threat level for the future has greatly increased.
After taking a brief moment to think about these things, Wang Wei reigned in his mind. Then, he used his secret method to convert Earthly Luck into Innate Luck.
His Qi Luck rapidly changed from purple, then to purple-gold. After a few minutes, a second color appeared, then a third.
Wang Wei spent a few minutes absorbing the luck. He checked his Qi Dragon, and it had 7 colors, signifying that he reached the 7-color Rainbow Qi Luck, so he smiled.
Wang Wei knew that the reason that he reached the maximum level of 7 colors was because of the transformation of the Western Desert. Otherwise, he would only reach 6 colors.
One thing that caught Wang Wei's attention was the fact that the 7-color Rainbow Qi Luck is also referred to as Immortal Luck. Given that more than 7-color of Qi Luck is referred to as Emperor Luck, he guessed that Immortal Luck has something to do with Immortal Venerables and Dao Ancestors.
Unfortunately, he only learned the title of that level of luck, but nothing about what Immortal Venerable actually is. He guessed this has to do with the fact that this world's level is too low, so it does not have any information besides just a name.
After absorbing the Qi Luck, Wang Wei felt that his strength had suddenly increased dramatically. It reached the point that he could kill his previous self with just one punch.
Wang Wei knew that this was actually another function of Earthly Luck. The king of any dynasty can bless himself with the power of the dynasty's luck, thus increasing their strength dramatically.
Unfortunately, this kind of ability is only available in Medium Small Thousand World and above. And it requires the dynasty to refine a Luck Condensing Artifact in order to be able to use Qi Luck in such a way.
Wang Wei knew that every Emperor Lineage back home actually has a Luck Condensing Artifact, and it is usually one of their Emperor Artifacts that served that role--just like in the Dao Opening Sect.
The Emperor Artifact of Wang Wei's ancestor, Emperor Qiyuan, served as the Luck Condensing Artifact of the Dao Opening Sect.
As a matter of fact, Wang Wei is a little lucky that this ability was not available in the trial, otherwise he would have to suffer.
When all the other Heaven Chosen could use this ability in desperation, he would not be able to do the same as his Qi Luck was still black. And if Ji Song had that ability in the final battle, then Wang Wei would have suffered greatly.
As a last result, he probably would have to ask Dong Lifen to control the dynasty's Qi Luck and channel it through him. However, Wang Wei guessed that even if that method succeeded, there would still be some repercussions. Not to mention that she would actually have to be close to him, thus risk being a liability during battles with her weak strength.
After thinking about this, Wang Wei sighed, then he returned to the capital. Now that he has accomplished everything he came for in this world, the trial is officially over.
So, it was time to head back home as he missed his family greatly.
