Wang Wei was not the only person that was happy to be back home. All of the members of his group were. After entering the world, a feeling of euphoria suddenly overcame them; it was as if a mother (the entire world) was welcoming its children back home.
While the group was rejoicing of finally going home after 15 years, a supreme and powerful will suddenly appeared around them. Then, the will started to invade Tie Gang and Yu Siyu's body to their horrors.
Luckily, they remember what True Monarch had said to them a few minutes ago. So, they each took a deep breath to calm themselves down. However, they were just calm on the surface.
That supreme will scan everything part of their bodies. Whether it was their soul, spirit, and even their memories.
Of course that supreme will was the Heavenly Dao of the Myriad Emperor World. Every time some foreigners enter the world, it is his job to check out these intruders to ensure that they are not a danger to the world.
As such, as soon as it noticed these two, it started to check. It checked their bodies and souls to ensure that there were no curses implanted on these people by some powerful being from the Endless Void.
Then, it checked their memories to ensure that these two were not vanguard sent by other powerful worlds in order to acquire the world coordinate of the Myriad Emperor World.
Just by how meticulous Heavenly Dao was, it is obvious that it knows from experience what to look for; so it was very thorough. An act which made Tie Gang and Yu Siyu suffer greatly as it was not a pleasant experience having all their deepest secrets seen through by someone.
However, the process did not last long. After a few minutes, the process was finished. Then, a vast amount of spiritual energy started to enter the bodies of Tie Gang and Yu Siyu.
"Sit cross-legged and begin to cultivate. This is the reward of Heavenly Dao," instantly yelled Supreme Elder Yan Chen.
The two then immediately reacted and followed the instructions.
"Why are these two getting rewarded?" asked Li Jun to the Supreme Elder. In fact, it was not just him who wanted to know this answer. Everyone else also wanted to know.
They can understand the necessary precaution to check the identity of these two, why would Heavenly Dao reward them?
"Because of their talent," suddenly said a beautiful voice. However, it was not that of Yan Chen.
Everyone looks in a direction of the voice to see Yu Yan--Wang Wei's mother--suddenly appearing next to the group with them even noticing.
Meanwhile Yu Yan smiled happily at the group, before embracing Wang Wei and caressing his face without caring of the weird look the people were giving her.
However, unlike previously, Wang Wei was not embarrassed nor did he smile wryly. He just laid in his mother's arms while also embracing her. As a person who has lived two lives, he knows the importance of spending time with family.
Especially in this cultivating world where seclusion can take thousands of years. More importantly, the cultivation world is more dangerous than anyone can imagine. No one knows for certain what can happen. So, he cherished his family greatly.
"Aunt."
"Sect Madam"
All the people who recognized Yu Yan saluted her, to which she just nodded.
"Mother, what do you mean by talent?" asked Wang Wei, who was still curious about the previous topic.
"Heavenly Dao will reward certain foreigners that enter our world based on how their talents are. This is an incentive for these people to stay in the world and contribute to it in any way possible."
Wang Wei understood what she meant. This was the way that the Heavenly Dao of this world poached talented people from other worlds through promises and bribing. Some countries in his past life did a lot of this in order to quickly develop both their science and technology, but also their economy.
The process of breakthrough lasted only a few minutes. However, from the smile on these two's faces, they were more than happy with their rewards.
Yu Siyu managed to inscribe more than 300 Divine Veins on her altar, making her foundation and strength dramatically increase.
As for the former Iron Fist King, Tie Gang, his Divine Veins reached 330. But more importantly, he managed to figure out what Qi of Good Fortune is. As such, as long as he has the proper technique and head into seclusion, he can break through the Supernatural Realm at any time.
After these two finished their transformation, the entire group left for the direction of the sect. As soon as they arrived at the entrance, they saw Sect Master Wang Tian and a group of elders waiting for them.
As soon as they arrived, Li Jun's mother started to cuddle her son. In fact, even Yan Liling was not spared in this large embrace. Unlike Wang Wei's calm look, these two were completely shy.
Great Elder Li Jiang patted his son on the shoulder with a smile on his face, while Great Elder Yan Mei smiled at her niece.
As for Wang Tian, he looked at his son up and down, "Good, Good, you did better than me during my trial." Then, he proceeded to imitate his wife and played with Wang Wei's grey hair.
Wang Wei looked at his father with a speechless look. His eyes seemed to be saying you are a grown man, why are you acting so weird? He could understand his mother's behavior, but he did not understand why his old man started to act more childish.
However, Wang Tian just ignored his son's gaze as he continued to mess up his hair with great pleasure.
As a matter of fact, there is a reason that Wang Tian behaves so child-like. It is because he is nearing the Supreme Realm. So, he started to return to a more simplistic nature of himself.
He behaves childlike because he is in-tuned with Heaven and Earth, his state of mind is returning to a very simple and innocent one so that he can better understand the Laws of Heaven and Earth.
Wang Wei decided to ignore his father, so he asked him, "What did you do for your trial?"
After pondering for a while, he responded, "Well, I created the Supreme Sword Sect, then spread the Dao of the Sword throughout the entire world."
"How was the result?"
"Of course I succeeded, however there were a few setbacks in the middle."
Wang Tian looked at his wife, "Your mother rallied all the people in the world to encircle me and my sect. Unfortunately, she was no match for me and my loyal sword followers."
Meanwhile Yu Yan snorted, "The only reason that you survive that battle so easily was because all the Heaven Chosen at that time were infighting for control over the alliance."
"It doesn't matter how I survived," snickered Wang Tian. "Furthermore, wasn't it you that said that only the result matters, not the process."
Yu Yan stared at her husband before saying, "Do you want to sleep outside today?"
Wang Tian smiled leisurely, but he did not say anything else. However, Wang Wei was intrigued as he wanted to know how things ended in the end.
"So, who was the final winner in the end?"
"There was no final winner, or we both were as me and your father eventually formed an alliance," replied Yu Yan.
"What alliance, you basically blackmail me that if I did not ally with you, you would spread Saber Dao to fight with me."
Wang Wei became puzzled after hearing this, "How is that a threat?"
Wang Tian looked at his son, "Practicing the sword was not the same as practicing the saber. It is very hard to start practicing the sword but easy to master.
"As for the saber, it is easy to start practicing, but hard to master. It can take even the most powerful genius of the sword more than two years of training in order to become proficient in using the sword and have certain combat power.
"However, the saber was different. Even a normal person holding a saber can easily use it after a few weeks of practice. If your mother had managed to spread Saber Dao throughout the entire world, I would have to spend countless years before Sword Dao can reigned supreme in the entire world, thus prolonging the time I'd have to spend to reach the rainbow Level of Qi Luck.
"So, it was simply not worth it to fight for her for so long when an alliance would allow the two of us to benefit."
Wang Wei nodded, however he guessed that things were not that simple. He guessed that his father probably had developed a little crush on his mother back then, so he easily accepted her deal.
Wang Wei knew that he would never accept such a thing. He is open to negotiation, never being forced.
This can be seen in how he reacted to Feng Heng's deal. Instead of just accepting, he used the excuse of a fight to slap him straight in his face, showing that Wang Wei has a very petty side.
However, this can't be helped. As a person who pursues freedom, there is nothing he hates more than being forced to do something--even if that thing is good or beneficial to him.
