Dao Opening Sect:

Wu Hong looked at Wang Wei departing back deep in thought.

According to the original timeline, Wang Wei was supposed to lose the power of his Paragon Soul after entering reincarnation. Although he was still granted exceptional talent because of it, it was nothing compared to now.

’Additionally, the memories of his past life were not supposed to be reawaken until he entered the Saint Realm.

’Now, everything is different. And with my memories incomplete, the amount of things I can do to help is decreasing with each passing day. Nevertheless, there are a few things that remain the same in this timeline. For example, Di Tian being his main obstacle and a few other things.

’Although I cannot stop Di Tian for him, I can still prevent some of the tragedies he suffered before and make sure that he does not become someone corrupted by revenge.’

After thinking like this, he left the sect and headed to the Western White Tiger Continent.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei changed his hair and eye color and turned into a completely different person before leaving the sect. This time, he was not accompanied by Yan Chen.

The reason for that is that it is easier for him to be caught with his Dao Protector accompanying him. Another is that his strength has reached the point that he did not really need a Dao Protector anymore.

With this current power, only a few Peak Supreme Realm Powerhouses and Quasi-Emperor can pose a threat to him. And if he focused all his attention on escaping, he has a very high chance to do so.

After disguising himself, Wang Wei headed to Dao Preaching City--which was the main city of the Dao Opening Sect located at the foot of the mountain.

As he walked in the streets, he saw most mortals had happy and healthy lives. They spoke like educated people, had lights in their houses, drove cars (constructs), or used trains or planes to travel long distances.

Cultivators could also be seen everywhere in the city, living peacefully with mortals.

Wang Wei secretly nodded in satisfaction after seeing this, then he headed to the south of the city where the Trans-Continental Teleportation Array was located.

After arriving at his destination, he used a Guess Elder Token of the Dao Opening Sect to get priority access to the array and a discount on the price. After paying a large sum of money, he had to wait another three days before it was time for the array to be activated.

When the day arrived, Wang Wei used the array along with a few other merchants and cultivators that were headed to the south as well.

Standing in front of the array, a flash of light enveloped him and Wang Wei felt like he was inside a dishwasher for a brief moment, then, he was standing on a completely different platform.

A few of the merchants that came with him started vomiting on the floor, while some of the cultivators had a pale look on their faces. Wang Wei gave these people a look before ignoring them and leaving.

The persona he was playing was of a cold and indifferent man, a man of few words.

After leaving the Teleportation Area, Wang Wei began to visit this city. The first thing he noticed was the strange smell that seemed to envelop the city: it was the smell of medicine.

The second thing he noticed was that there were a large number of professionals: whether it was Alchemist, Talisman Makers, Refiners...etc. All of them had a pin of their clothes.

The pin will have a tier written on it, followed by low, middle, or top. However, so far, Wang Wei has mostly seen low Tier individuals, while the highest person he encountered was middle Tier 2.

From what he knows, the Tier referred to the grade of the individual in his profession. Tier 1 is Profound Grade, Tier 2 is Earth Grade, Tier 3 is Heaven Grade.

This division is to show what grade of products that a professional can refine. For example, a Top Tier 2 Alchemist can refine Top Grade Earth Grade Pills--which is used by Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators.

Tier 3 Alchemists can refine Heaven Grade Pills, Tier 4 Saint Pills, Tier 5 Supreme Pills, Tier 6 Quasi-Emperor Pills, and Tier 7 Emperor Grade Pills.

After taking time to quickly understand the ins and outs of this city, Wang Wei rented a room at an Inn. While sitting on his bed, he kept flipping through a paper containing a list.

Then, he stopped at one page and focused on it:

"Lou Cheng, Divine Altar Realm, Low-Level Tier 2 Alchemist. The Fifth Disciple of Origin Dao Pill Sect Master, Lu Yang. Talent is above average, but is loved by his master because of his diligence."

After reading the information, Wang Wei muttered to himself: "This guy is the perfect candidate. His status is high enough, but not too high considering his master has many disciples.

"His personality is reticent, so he barely interacts with people in the sect, even with his fellow brothers and sisters. This is good. People do not have a real lasting impression of him. So, as long as I found the proper excuse, it can explain any changes in his personality."

He paused for a moment as he reviewed all the information he had on this guy.

"His talent is a problem. If I want to get my hands on the [Origin Pill Flame Scripture], I will need to display a higher level of talent." After reviewing the information at hand, he made a plan.

Origin Pill Sect, inside a cave of one of the mountains, an ordinary-looking teenager with dark hair and eyes sat cross-legged with a cauldron in front of him. He was deep in concentration, refining a pill.

A few minutes later, he opened the lid to see five pills floating inside. Mysterious lights flashed from then. Looking at the five pills inside, he smiled:

"Five low-level Earth Pills," muttered Lou Cheng. "Finally, I’ve managed to secure my strength as a Tier 2 alchemist. Although my talent is not the best, I can make it up with hard work."

In fact, Lou Cheng’s talent was not that bad. Most Alchemists can only refine certain pill grades based on their cultivation. As for him, being a Peal Divine Altar cultivator that can refine low-level Earth Grade Pills--which only Supernatural Realm ALchemists could refine--show that he has some talent.

After refining the pill, Lou Cheng took out another set of ingredients to make another pill. However, mid-way through, he was interrupted by a Communication Talisman. So, he stopped to activate it:

"Young Master, the ingredient you asked the Alchemy Association to find for you has been discovered."

"Really? Immediately bring it over."

’I can finally break through the Supernatural Realm.’ though Lou Cheng to himself.

"Young master, there seemed to be some problem."

"What problem?"

"The owner of the material is asking to meet you personally. He seemed rather adamant."

Lou Cheng frowned after hearing this.

’Could there be something tricky behind this? However, without that herb, I cannot break through to the next realm, unless I change cultivation technique.’

After pondering for a moment, Lou Cheng decided to go. Nevertheless, he still took precautions. After leaving his cultivation cave, he used a flying talisman to go to another place and meet someone.

A few minutes after arriving, an old man with the aura of Void Shattering appeared in front of Lou Cheng.

"Young master, what brings you here to see me?" asked the old man with indifference, and a little impatience.

"I’m heading to Maple Leaf City..."

"Well, since I’m your Dao Protector, it is my job to protect you," said the old man. Then, without saying anything, he grabbed Lou Cheng and flew outside the perimeter of the sect.

Once there, he used the power of law to break the space so that they could arrive at their destination at a quicker pace. During the entire process, Lou Cheng did say anything, nor complained; he was used to his Dao Protector’s attitude by now.

This is one of the reasons that he rarely left the sect.

After arriving at Maple Leaf City, the Dao Protector was prepared to enter the void to secretly protect Lou Cheng, but the latter quickly explained to him the situation and his worry about the encounter.

The old man grunted before finally deciding to stay next to Lou Cheng to protect him at all times. He knew that if this little alchemist was still the disciple of the sect master.

If something happened to him, he would have to answer to the sect. And even if the sect master did not blame him, he would no longer receive as many pills that he does now in the future, thus halting his cultivation progress.

Plus, the old man took into account the fact that Lou Cheng never complained about him all these years.
