"Father, what are you doing here? How can you be here?" asked Bai Han in astonishment.

"I have left a small piece of my Will on your soul in case of an accident," replied Emperor Kong calmly.

"I do not need your help."

"Obviously, you do." Then, Emperor Kong ignored his son and looked in the surroundings. "Hah, the Myriad Emperor World, my home, it’s been quite some time since I left. Let’s see what’s going."

In an instant, he scanned all five continents.

’Let’s see. This generation is a Glorious Age with many talents. There are three Outlaws, two Eternal Talents, and Empress Wu’s clone? Reincarnation? Technically speaking that should be impossible, but if it’s the Empress, then I will not be surprised.

’Now, let’s check on my descendants. Well, they’ve lost the Spirit of the Epoch, and the Qi Luck is at an all-time low. Oh, these unfilial descendants. Now, let’s see who is responsible for all of this."

Emperor Kong followed the Karma Thread responsible for all the misfortune of his Academy and realized that they led to Wang Wei, so his vision landed on the latter.

While caressing his long beard, Emperor Kong looked up and down at Wang Wei.

’What an interesting youngster. Paragon-quality Soul, an Outlaw, and Eternal talent. And he seemed to be related to Empress Wu. This kid’s secrets are the kind that can get noisy people killed, so I’ll just mind my own business.’

Finally, Emperor Kong looked at his son again:

"It’s time for you to leave with me."

"I would rather die than go anywhere with you," replied Bai Han with gritted teeth.

"I indulge in your rebellious act because I thought that you could found your own path and not live the rest of your lives in my shadow, but look what you have accomplished so far? You were played and injured by a younger generation three realms below you."

Bai Han clenched his hand, but he did not say anything.

"I know this all started because of miscommunication between us about your mother," added Emperor Kong. "But I can tell you that she successfully reincarnated and even managed to prove the Dao and becoming a Great Emperor. So now, it’s time for our family to reunite."

A flash of surprise appeared in Bai Han’s eyes, "Are you telling the truth?"

"There is no need for me to lie to you about something like this."

Bain hesitated for a moment, then he looked at himself. His Primordial Spirit was dim, his Proven Dao Artifact was in pieces, and his right arm was gone. Taking a deep sigh, he nodded his head.

Emperor Kong smiled in satisfaction while thinking, ’Luckily, this unfilial son was only bothered by the lowest level of Qi of Calamity, otherwise even I would be helpless.’

After that, he prepared to leave. However, a sudden voice stopped him.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Kong, would you mind if I asked you a question?" said Wang Wei--who remained calm during the entire experience, unlike Yan Chen who was sweating like a person eating spicy wings during 110 degrees Celsius temperature.

Looking at Wang Wei, Emperor Kong said: "Boy, after all you’ve done to my son and my Academy, you still dare to ask me a question! You should be happy that I did not decide to settle the score with you."

In answer to this, Wang Wei just smiled.

’What a cheeky youngster,’ thought Emperor Kong. ’He is probably thinking that If I attack him, then his ancestors can come to save him. However, little did he know that all the Emperors of his sect have long disappeared from the Eternal Ascension World, and many people have presumed them dead.’

Of course, Emperor Kong was not one of these people. As an Eternal Emperor, he knew that it was impossible to kill one of his kind. As long one person knows their name, or even a piece of writing of their names exists, an Eternal Emperor can use this fact to resurrect themselves.

So, Emperor Qiyuan and the Sword Empress of the Dao Opening Sect are still alive out there. Additionally, when he scanned the world, he noticed the breath of the Battle Maniac that once descended into the Battle Tower of the sect.

’This youngster is full of secrets and potential, maybe I can sow some Karma for later on."

"Youngster, what’s your question?"

"I want to know what realm you are in? Or to be precise, what’s the realm after Great Emperor?"

"Ambitious, aren’t we?" said Emperor Kong. "Well, with your talent, it’s understandable...I can tell you that the next stage of cultivation is called the Empyrean Realm."

After that, Emperor Kong and Bai Han disappeared as if they never existed in the first place. Meanwhile, Wang Wei was caught in his thoughts.

’Empyrean Realm? Does Paragon come after this, or are there other realms in between? Well, these things are a little too far from me.

’I wonder why that Supreme Will did not show up after Emperor Kong told me such secret? Is it because of his high level of cultivation, or something else? What are the criteria for it to show up?’

"Young master, you should not take such risk," reprimanded Yan Chen--who was finally able to breathe after Emperor Kong disappeared. For a moment there, he thought that he was gone. His only thought was whether if he exploded himself could he give the young master the opportunity to escape.

"You underestimated the mind and bearing of a Great Emperor; he would not just attack me because of contradiction of the younger generation."

"Still, your actions were reckless."

"Not reckless, calculated."

"What do you mean?"

"Have you notice that no Great Emperor has ever interfered in the affair of the world after they leave? Even the ones that are extremely protective of their family or sects; they never showed up even when their descendants faced extinction," replied Wang Wei.

"You mean..."

"Yes, most likely, they have certain restrictions preventing them from doing so."

Yan Chen pondered for a brief moment, before sighing: "You may be correct, but was it worth, risking your life to ask a question that you did not even get the answer with."

’It seems that Emperor Kong allowed only me to hear the answer. Could this be the reason that Supreme Will did not show up? Or did the Emperor used some kind of secret method to tell me the information?"

Seeing the strange smile on Wang Wei’s face, Yan Chen’s eyes light up as he figured out something.

"In that case, it was indeed worth it. Alright, let’s return to the sect before all the other people become worried and come get us."

Breaking the space, Yan Chen hurried home with Wang Wei. After a few minutes, they arrived and Wang Wei noticed Wu Hong waiting for him at the base of the mountain, so he went to meet her.

"I sense a powerful will scanning the entire world, is everything alright?" asked Wu Hong.

"Yes, but I met a Will of Emperor Kong."

"Him? Given his cautious nature, once he sees all the mysteries surrounding you, his first instinct would be to ignore you, unless you antagonize him. Did you antagonize him?"

"Of course not."

"But you did not let him leave just like that, did you?"

Wang Wei was momentarily speechless. "I just ask him about the realm after Great Emperor."

"So, you were testing whether he would get in trouble for telling you the secrets of Heaven. However, with Emperor Kong’s strength, it should be very easy for him to bend the rules slightly without any consequence."

"It appears so," replied Wang Wei. Then, he went to meet his family with Wu Hong as he did not see them for more than 200 years, although he felt like less than a second passed by.

After reuniting with his family for the entire night, the two of them flew to one of the Peaks of the sect. There, many upper echelons of the sect were waiting for them.

"Is everything ready?" asked Wang Wei to Wang Fu, the Great Elder of the Refining Hall.

"Yes, young master. " Wang Fu took out a bunch of white translucent orb from his space ring, and they all floated in the air after being removed.

Wang Wei looked at Wu Hong next to him and said: "It’s your turn."

Nodding her head, she placed her hand on his forehead. Following this, a bunch of runes came from his head; no, they came from his soul. These runes congregated in the sky, forming a perfect picture.

Finally, 3000 lights flew from the rune formation and entered one of the floating orbs, instantly turning them more sacred. Voices of people explaining the scriptures could be heard coming from them.

"Big brother, I cannot believe you manage to actually memorize all the information of the Dao Tablets. According to my father, since they are the voices of Great Emperors explaining the Dao, it should be impossible to memorize or write down, only understand."

"You are wrong. Although I tried to memorize them, I also failed."

"So, how did you bring them back from the Academy."

"I had Wu Hong secretly sealed them in my soul, then have the sect prepared materials that could store them before transferring them."

Wang Wei sighed; he was truly afraid that Emperor Kong would see through his plot and intervene. Luckily, the latter either did not notice or did not care.

After this plan succeeded, the entire Dao Opening Sect celebrated as the foundation of their sects has just been increased. With access to these 3000 Dao Orbs, many people can be enlightened in front of them, thus making their path of cultivation smoother.

Additionally, a piece of news soon spread throughout the entire Myriad Emperor World, and it read:

"The Dao Opening Sect have their Dao Tablets, so next generation, they will hold their own [Heaven Chosen Selection Trial]."
