After settling the affairs of the Dao Tablets, Wang Wei spent the next few days relaxing and indulging himself. He drunk the best wine, ate the most delicious food, gambled a little; he even went to a brothel to watch some of the famous dancers in the Central Continent.

As for Wu Hong? She accompanied him during the entire process--even to the brothels. And she was quite complimentary of their skills, though she proclaimed that she was even better.

Wang Wei called her boasting, and later that night, she proved him wrong by giving a show that he will never forget in his life. Since he could not touch her yet, he had to take a very long cold bath to calm himself down.

After returning to the sect, he received a talisman from Tie Gang, so he flew to meet him.

"So, why did you call me?"

"Sacred Son, I want to show you my Immortal Army," replied Tie Gang with excitement.

So, Wang Wei followed him to one of the Mountain Peaks. He saw an army of Divine Altar Cultivators wearing grey armor. They all had stoic faces and a terrifying killing intent around them.

He could see some kind of link between those soldiers. Waving his hand, a spear made of spiritual qi appeared in Wang Wei’s hand, then he threw it.

Boom! With a sonic boom, the spear pierced the hearts of more than a thousand soldiers. However, during the entire situation, their faces did not change one: they did not grimace, nor have any fear of death.

And the reason for that was soon shown. A few seconds later, life energy from the other soldiers was transferred to the wounded ones, healing their severe injuries. Even their armors also fixed themselves.

"Good, good. I have a premonition that I will need the help of an army very soon. However, are you aware of the biggest weakness of this army?" asked Wang Wei.

"Yes. The biggest weakness of this army is me," responded Tie Gand. "As long as something happened to me, the Life-sharing link of these soldiers will be broken, and they will lose their pseudo-immortality. So, I have to be strong enough."

Wang Wei nodded, "However, that’s not good enough. I will have the sect give you a Space-Related Origin Artifact so that before you enter the Void Shatter Realm, you can teleport. In case of an emergency, use it to constantly evade the enemy and prevent yourself from being killed, captured, or incapacitated."

Tie Gang nodded his head in acceptance. And after making a few more tests on the newly named Undead Legion, Wang Wei returned to his own mountain to plan for his next step ahead.

He took out the [Eight Trigram Turtle Shell] that the sect borrowed from the Heaven Mystery Pavilion and started calculating the secrets of Heaven.

"I have found a hint for the whereabouts of the materials I need to temper my spleen, but I cannot find anything for my heart. Could it be that there is no Innate Fire material left in this world?

"That shouldn’t be. Unless they are in a place where the power of Fate is greatly disturbed. Alright, let’s track the hint for the Innate Earth material first."

Without hesitation, he left the sect in the direction that his Divination pointed to him. On his way, he encountered a little trouble or annoyance. He was challenged by one of the Top 30 Heaven Chosens from the Academy Trial.

Of course, Wang Wei easily defeated the guy, but he refused to acknowledge his defeat. Angered, Wang Wei exploded his head into millions of pieces with one punch. Unfortunately, this guy had his name in the Heavenly Dao Protection Book and he was healed instantly.

Knowing that he could not kill this guy, Wang Wei was forced to use his Pain Innate Talent to make him suffer so much that he gave up challenging him. Nevertheless, he had a feeling that this guy might not be the only one coming to challenge him using their immortality as an advantage.

After that, Wang Wei found himself traveling all the way to the Eastern Azure Dragon Continent.

Once there, he did not immediately go to his destination but looked around for a bit. The first thing he noticed was the smaller amount of spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth compared to the Central Continent.

In a small city, Wang Wei walked in the streets while heading in a specific direction. He looked around like a tourist. He soon noticed that the majority of people had weapons with them, mostly swords, and they are dressed in warriors or hunting clothes. That goes for both cultivators or mortals.

’It seemed that the Eastern Continent is more martial-like than the Central Continent. And the culture seemed more similar to the Song Dynasty in my past life, while the Central Continent is more similar to the Tang Dynasty.

’Additionally, the number of swordsmen is quite large. I’m guessing that is the result of the Sword Casting Pavilla’s influence.’

Although Wang Wei’s expensive-looking clothes, grey hair, and eyes make him easily noticeable, the slight aura that he released prevented anyone from seeing him as a rich young master that is easy to bully.

So, without much problem, he reached his destination, which was a small restaurant who was quite famous in the area.

"Young master, how can I help you?" asked the beautiful waitress dressed in plain clothes.

"Have you work here for long?" responded Wang Wei.

"You are not from here, are you?"

"I’m sure that fact is very obvious."

"That’s true. My family has run this restaurant for countless generations."

"Is that so? Then, do you know of any sects or factions in the surrounding area? And which one is the most powerful?"

"There are many sects in the surrounding, but the most powerful one has to be the Cleansing Self Sect. I head that their Supreme Elder can fly in the air like almighty immortals."

’A Supernatural Realm cultivator? Or even higher?’ thought Wang Wei. "Can you point to me in the direction of the Cleaning Self Sect?"

"Young master, do you want to apprentice there? I heard that their selection requirement are quite high," replied the waitress. Then, she explained how to get there. Finally, after this brief conversation, Wang Wei ordered their famous food and left a handsome tip.

While leaving, Wang Wei turned around and looked at the small restaurant. He wanted to read the Fate Line of this waitress and see how her life turns out, but he did not.

The best-case scenario is that she will turn into an old woman in a few decades, and worst-case scenario, she will encounter a tragedy mid-way through and also die. The world is full of mortals, and unfortunately, their fates have been set in stone.

After sighing deeply, Wang Wei flew to his destination, which was a small mountain where a sect was located. With a quick glance, he could instantly tell that the most powerful of this sect was in the Supernatural Realm, and their sect formation was just a Top-Level Profound Tier.

’How can a small sect like that have any relationship with Innate Material?’

Wang Wei then tracked his divination to a small garden in the sect. Oddly though, the garden seemed invisible to the rest of the sect. After checking that there was no powerful killing information, Wang Wei went straight in.

Soon, he saw the owner of the garden in front of a small house.

"It’s you?" said Wang Wei.

"Oh, it seems that we have a visitor. Young master Wang Wei, we meet again."

Wang Wei had a frown on his face because the person in front of him was the ghost or spirit he met during his travel. She is also Di Tian’s wife that he lost from the memories that Li Jun acquired.

"Although this is the second time that we have met, I do not even know your name," replied Wang Wei.

"Name? I had one so long ago that I almost forgot it. But if you insist, you can call me Qiao Ning, that’s the name I used to have."

"A beautiful name."

"Thank you. If you do not mind, let’s have some tea and chat."

So, Qiao Ning brewed some tea, and Wang Wei sat in front of her. However, he did not touch the tea.

"What’s wrong, is it not to your liking?"

"Forgive my rudeness, but given your identity, I have to be careful."

"So, you found out. I’m surprised," replied Qiao Ning. "However, this is all in the past now."

"The past usually has a way to influence the future. For example, if your husband knew of your existence, he would move Heaven and Earth to come to see you."

"True, but that would only bring him greater pain, as I’m nothing but a remnant of the past clinging to existence. But one day soon, I will forever cease to exist."

"So, to prevent him from seeing you die twice, you hid from him?"

"That’s correct."

"Doesn’t that mean you have no faith in him?"

Qiao Ning took a sip of her tea, then she looked into the distance, sighed, and said: "Some things are destined, inevitable."

She then looked at him, "Well, let’s not talk about these depressing things. It’s rare for me to have visitors, so what brought you here?"

"According to my divination, I would find an Innate Earth Medicine here, or at least hint of its whereabouts."

"Hmm, I may know what you’re talking about," replied Qiao Ning.
