1137 Travel (III)

While Yan Liling was on her journey to increase her pill-refining skills, Wang Wei also started his own journey after dealing with the sect's affairs. Although he could reach the Extremity Sea with one step, he decided to take his time and go on a short vacation while finishing some things he'd been putting off.

His first destination was the Mortal Heart World. He did not alarm anyone with his arrival to prevent this world's court from making a big deal out of his presence and ruining his vacation. So, Wang Wei only changed his clothes to fit the local custom and enjoy the scenery and food.

The air or atmosphere of the Mortal Heart World was sweet, clear, and peaceful. The entire world had a nature-like atmosphere due to the sheer number of forests, mountains, lakes, and rivers. This world's cultivator did an excellent job at preserving nature, so the environment was probably one of the best in the Endless Void; it probably would be the best if not for worlds in which Wood Dao overwhelms all other Daos.

'This world deserves the title of the most peaceful world,' Wang Wei thought after a servant served his food. The cultivation system of the Mortal Heart World was divided into three stages, each with three levels: The Spiritual Awakening Stage, the Self-Reflection Stage, and the Heaven-Earth Pondering Stage.

The Spiritual Awakening Stage is self-explanatory; the cultivators open their Sea of Consciousness and cultivate their spiritual/soul power. Based on the quantity and quality of the spiritual power, someone will be in the first to third level of this stage.

In the Self-Reflection Stage, the world's people began a process of intense self-reflection. They delved into their subconscious to temper their mind, spirit, soul, and Dao Heart. By the end of this stage, they knew who they were, what they wanted, and what they were willing to sacrifice for it; they built their goals, ambitions, moral compass, and world views.

Once they finished their self-cultivation, the Mortal Heart Cultivators could no longer improve themselves from the inside, so they focused on the outside. They began to use Heaven and Earth to temper themselves. The main cultivation technique of this stage is called [Pondering Heaven], and it's a brilliant idea.

A cultivator could walk to a random tree in the forest and ponder it. Then, they will experience the tree's life from birth to the current stages. So, if the tree were thousands of years old, the cultivators would experience that thousand years, just like they had experienced another life - like they had experienced another Samsara.

The people of this world preserved the environment because they could ponder everything, from a piece of grass to the stars in the sky to ancient beings that lived for Yuan Epochs. In fact, the older an object is, the more valuable it is since the pondering effect will be more effective. Of course, it's also more dangerous. If a cultivator cannot retain their own sense of self, they will be assimilated by the object's memories and experiences.

'I experienced something similar in Primordial Chaos,' Wang Wei thought. When he was the Myriad Devourer, he had to fight for his life to preserve the few decades of memories of Earth. Otherwise, they would have been assimilated, and he would have lost his main personality.

Wang Wei walked out of the restaurant for the next. He heard someone squabbling and went to watch. It was rare to see fights in this era of the Mortal Heart World. The cultivators of this world do not rely much on resources since they mainly use themselves, the environment, or nature for their cultivation, so this world is very peaceful compared to others.

Adding their terrifying Dao Heart and ability to control their emotions, this world deserves the title of the most peaceful. Of course, it does not mean there were no fights, but compared to the brutal history of other worlds, the Mortal Heart World can be described as a utopia ever since they started this cultivation system.

Then, everything improved with the arrival of the Dream World. All contradictions could be settled there without any worry about casualties. Wang Wei's court made the Mortal Heart World an example to encourage people to settle their disputes using this method to reduce the loss of cultivators and populations.

Wang Wei watched the fight between these two: a man and a woman. They were both Third Stage Second Level, which was equivalent to Saints back home. The woman used her Dao Heart and mind to resonate with the Laws of Fire, while the man used the Thunder Law.

Wang Wei immediately noticed two interesting things about this fight. Firstly, these people had zero understanding of the laws of Heaven and Earth. Instead, their spirit was so concentrated that they could use their mind and Dao Hearts to forcefully bend the laws to their whim, thus achieving an alternate form of Law Resonance.

The second thing he noticed was that these two were fighting on two fronts: outside and inside. While throwing elemental attacks at each other, their minds were in a spirit realm, confronting each other. That was how battles in the second stage occurred in this world. People fight to destroy each other's minds, spirits, and selves, leaving the loser with a damaged psyche that turns them into a coma state, makes them crazy, gives them severe depression and other mental illnesses, or directly annihilates their souls.

'If I were to quantify my Willpower, it should be on par with a Paragon. So, could I use this world's cultivation system to create a technique that allowed me to use my willpower to forcibly borrow strength from 90% Grand Dao Source?' Wang Wei thought as he quickly deduced the outcome.

'I could, but my body would instantly collapse. If I liberate all my soul strength in advance, I should survive in a soul state. However, the backlash from doing something like that would directly send me to Limbo. What's more, Grand Dao might even punish me for my actions. So, unless I'm forced into a corner and want to take the enemy with me, using such a technique is useless.' Despite this conclusion, he decided to create this technique.

'I should reserve some time to study all cultivation techniques of the lower dimension before ascending.' He knew the importance of learning from all kinds of civilizations; Wang Wei always believed one of his greatest assets is the knowledge from Earth.

The battle between these two - which appeared to be a lover's quarrel - did not last long as two Ultimate Third Stages powerhouses from their respective clan came to stop them. Ultimate Third Stages are Quasi-Emperors of this world.

After completing their pondering, the cultivators will choose a law that fits whatever goals or ambitions they've established in the second stage to understand and condense Law Crystals in their Sea of Consciousness to prepare for the Heaven Will. They will also use this stage to make up for the deficiency in their weak, fleshly body. This stage is also when cultivators drastically increase their lifespan as they no longer rely on the passive connection between their soul and their body to nourish their bodies and increase their lifespan.

They will actively absorb the Spiritual Qi between Heaven and Earth to nourish their bodies, take more pills, and even use laws to temper their bodies.

The elders stopped the two from fighting, deciding to hold a family meeting to discuss their contradictions. Wang Wei watched them leave before he also walked away. This world was entering a state of rapid development, mainly in their Alchemy and other professional fields.

All the professions were severely underdeveloped, especially talismans. Pills were still needed to accelerate the speed of cultivating spiritual power in the first stages, and some pills helped with delving deep into the subconscious mind. Meanwhile, formations were used to protect the mind from being assimilated during the act of pondering.

However, talismans were of little to no use-well, according to the natives. In fact, talismans originated from their interactions with foreign worlds, especially the Commerce Hub. Their minimalist attitude toward resources prevented them from truly developing Talisman Dao. It's also why they had such a terrible relationship with the hub.

The Commerce Hub wanted all this world's raw and unmined resources, but the people here hated destroying nature for no reason through unrelenting mining. The Commerce Hub was about to invade this world for its resources. Luckily for them, one of their two Eternals - before this era - appeared. He headed to their headquarters and devastated the minds of so many people that they were almost forced to activate their trump card.

Luckily, that eternal only wanted to give a warning and discuss a treaty to protect his world.

"It's a shame,' Wang Wei thought before leaving this world. He wanted to use their technique to ponder the entire world. Experiencing this world's development from birth to now should have helped him temper his mind, spirit, and Dao Heart. However, he had already done something similar during his existence ceremony and on a much larger scale.

'Let's head to the Pursuing Longevity World next,' he thought before disappearing.
