Chapter 1738: Recollection & Soul
The spiritual transmission was from none other than White Sky. She was sending a message on behalf of Hao Chengxue, also known as World-Saint Dustpath, a Junior Worldly Saint Alchemist, and Hall Manager of the Tiny Heart Starfield's Utmost Purity Hell's branch division.
"My sincerest apologies if I'm interrupting your urgent matter, but Hall Manager Hao has informed me that you've received an invitation that warrants an immediate response."
Her vocal tone was laced with caution and respect, seemingly afraid that bothering Wei Wuyin would lead to consequences.
Wei Wuyin had to take a solid minute to adjust his mind and refresh his memory. While he had only been gone for an hour or so at most, he felt as if he had experienced thousands of years of different lifetimes, and his past actions in the Utmost Purity Galaxy initially felt like a distant memory. Fortunately, he was still only 116 years old.
'I remember. I was socializing with Hall Manager Hao before the call of the Bloodline of Sin came. Hall Manager Hao had invited me to chat, but he had an overt agenda.' Wei Wuyin thoughtfully recalled. Since he arrived here in the Utmost Purity Galaxy, he had accumulated a significant amount of reputation and rising momentum with every step he made, further cementing himself as a major figure discussed avidly by the galaxy's elites and various news outlets.
'The Resounding Echoes of Celestial Refinement Pill, Primeval Athenaeum, Incandescent Star Palace, Star Bridge, Yue Songli's Two-Year Date…' Wei Wuyin slowly regathered his original plans and schemes for the Utmost Purity Galaxy, including establishing himself as a prominent alchemist across this galaxy and its neighbors. Origindust aside, Wei Wuyin felt refreshed after recalling all these details.
Briefly, he circulated his cultivation base; the First Stage of the Mystic Ascendant Realm, the Mystic Star Phase, supported by four Astral Souls—Alpha Origin, Omega Saber, Draconic Void, & Alchemic Akashic—a World Bound-Star Domain of Defiant-size, a third level Nascent Saber Soul with a Profound Saber Meridian, the Stellar-Paragon Physique, first level Mark of Mystic Myth, Alchemic Stars of Transcendent Purity, the Royal Magi Version of the Celestial Eyes of Spiritual Divinity, forged Innate talents that had faintly exceeded the Heavenly Chosen standard, Elemental Heart Intent, Saber Heart Intent, fragmented Mystic Heart Intent, and mutated Laws of Minor Authority—Space, Time, Origin, Imperial, Saber, & Annihilation.
There were other aspects of his cultivation as well, such as his Worldly Domain, Essence of War, and Spiritual Strength, but these three were ever-changing alongside his cultivated foundation. While others remained largely passive or situational, like his Anima-Devourer lineage abilities. And some things couldn't be calculated as they haven't been cultivated yet such as the evolved version of the Celestial Eyes, the Celestial Eyes of Ascending Divinity, or the Scroll of Akasha.
"It's been a long time since I've done a full tally of my cultivation base. How wondrous," Wei Wuyin lightly commented as he flexed his muscles, feeling the absurd amount of power and energy within him. It was this very cultivated foundation forged by continuous recklessness and brave pursuit of the pinnacle attainment, including a bit of luck, that allowed him to masquerade as a Supreme Sage to most.
Not even Enlightened Sages were qualified to fight against him. Enlightened Sage Springfield had lost while he was only a mortal, and that version of himself was incomparable to now, and it would take no more than a single swing of his saber to settle a fight between them.
The continuous lifetimes within Hell had refreshed his mind and heart, allowing him to slow down and genuinely feel the significant achievements of his relatively short lifetime for once. It was rather difficult to do before due to the ever-present threat of Hell and the continuous need to unapologetically advance in the face of every obstacle, but those eighteen lives filled with hope, humiliation, and in some ways had contained his once earnest desire for a gentle and free life without worry surrounded by family was eye-opening and soul-freeing.
While his cultivation base hadn't taken many steps after his return, he felt as if his soul and psyche had made great leaps and bounds after. Especially his strong sense of self and resolve.
"..." The golden mass within his Sea of Consciousness churned with activity. Wei Wuyin smiled; he hadn't forgotten about the Heavenly War Spirit.
"There's no need to worry. I've already dealt with everything," he calmly consoled. Unlike others, the Heavenly War Spirit was somewhat attuned to him, and while she hadn't sunk into the depths of Hell with him like his Astral Souls and Little Defiant that was tied to his soul and True Soul, she likely felt him vanish for a long moment.
"B-but…" The Heavenly War Spirit's voice resembled that of a little girl, and it was supremely cute at times, yet at the moment, she was exposing a tone containing fear and disbelief.
"Trust me. I've settled it all for now," Wei Wuyin could only say this as he slowly lessened the fluctuations of his circulated cultivation base.
"But…" The Heavenly War Spirit's voice trailed lightly. Wei Wuyin frowned. "Fine…" She could only stay silent.
Wei Wuyin's frown lessened and then he looked toward the Utmost Purity Galaxy. He was a significant distance away from it, incredibly close to where he originally Void Portal'd in initially. It was time to return.
Tiny Heart Starfield, Utmost Purity Hall's Guest Room.
"I've sent the message, Hall Manager Hao." White Sky informed with a light pursing of her lips. Wei Wuyin had only been gone for an hour or so, but this Hall Manager immediately went to find her with his panty in a twist, urging her to communicate with Wei Wuyin after failing to find him.
"Thank you, World-Saint White Sky." Hao Chengxue performed a unique gesture of thankfulness without coming off as servile or being too overbearing. White Sky smilingly nodded without a word. Internally, she was annoyed. This Hall Manager had issued an arrest warrant and almost caused the end of her life, and while he wasn't directly responsible for all of that, he had been the face behind the act itself. How could she have any good feelings towards him?
Hao Chengxue didn't take White Sky's attitude to heart. He could only sigh at Wei Wuyin's abrupt disappearance. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that his disappearance had caused a frenzy outside. All eyes were on him, and countless other figures of equal or greater status than himself incessantly urged for reports on his whereabouts, intentions, and origins.
Not only was this unknown entity connected to the Incandescent Star Palace, but he had already made his way on the Outer-Creation Kings Ranking and the Heroes of Luminosity Ranking like an explosive cannonball from the shadows. Moreover, simultaneously, every last person trying to keep an eye on him had lost him!
If it was just an Exalted Worldly Saint Alchemist or an absurdly handsome man, this wouldn't matter much, but Wei Wuyin was heavily suspected of possessing a cultivation base of a Supreme Sage! This made everyone incredibly tense! Unbelievably so!!
The unknown was scary, and no one knew much about this person. Furthermore, within the last few hours that involved their discussion and settlement of White Sky and Mei Xiangyao, the Soothing Jade Institute's representative, Details of the Neo-Dawn Alchemical Lineage were coming to light. According to some news from his allies, Hao Chengxue learned that the Incandescent Star Palace had already been pressured for more information.
The products that were excavated and exposed began to rock the firmament of the Alchemic Dao of the Utmost Purity Galaxy, especially the Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill and the Neo-Dawn World-Eclipsing Pill! These two pills only had their general effects released yet the frenzy they caused was no less than a world-sweeping storm!
A ninth-grade product that could allow cultivators at the Soul Idol Phase, the third stage of the Astral Core Realm, to acquire a Domain Seed! While there were numerous established methods to do this, even Wang Yutian had informed Wei Wuyin that Worldly Saint Alchemists could pay a cost to do so, and Lin Ming had used a Dark(Evil) Formation, but this was an unprecedented development that defied four stages of cultivation!
Moreover, the Neo-Dawn World-Eclipsing Pill could assist in forming or even ensure the development of a Domain of Mysticism! While they only learned of the general effects, which were rumored to have cost a few lives to acquire, that was enough! More than enough!
Hao Chengxue was sweating profusely from all these developments. How many prominent figures wanted to meet with Wei Wuyin? Moreover, many of them were trying to use him as a medium to do so. Fortunately, he was smart and had thought of a way to avoid being pressured altogether!
Knock! Knock!
Suddenly, Hao Chengxue and White Sky heard a knock at her door. The aura behind the door belonged to Pakhet. She hurried to the door and opened it. Both of them were shocked. The beautifully solemn Pakhet stood behind Wei Wuyin!
"Eek! Mommy!"
"...!"
But their shock stemmed from an overbearing pressure emanating from his body. White Sky's throat made an embarrassing squeal while Hao Chengxue's pupils enlarged to their maximum as if he was staring at a solar star!
Wei Wuyin's eyebrows lifted in surprise. Unbeknownst to Wei Wuyin, in the senses of these two Worldly Saint Alchemists, he was as monstrous as a star, exuding an intense and irresistible gravitational-like pressure on their very souls and Mystic Souls!
The Heavenly War Spirit wanted to mention it before! Wei Wuyin's soul aura was too monstrous! It went from 1 to 100 without even the slightest warning!
He hadn't just acquired Origindust, but his entire True Soul aura had refined the Red Dust Dimension, which was then duplicated, and then reabsorbed! This inevitably affected his soul's aura!
