The Original Dawn Palace was a place of mystery. It was an ever-developing manifestation art that Wei Wuyin had insistently experimented with and designed within the limits of his imagination and powers. The base decor was noble and polished with humble opulence. It wasn't too excessive nor too frugal. Additionally, art was a primary focus of decorations, ranging from paintings, marble statues, and frescoes depicting extraordinary stories, exquisite locations, and impressively fascinating characters.
Meanwhile, as visitors traveled across the halls, they would find doors with markings upon them. For example, the door that led to the room where the game of Mystics was played had the depiction of countless amounts of shadowy figures hurdles together observing the stars above, all their gazes and heads aligned perfectly to a single center point. At the bottom of those stars was a single circular mirror glistening with a spiritual radiance.
There was a door with eighteen dragons roaring against the heavens, fighting spirit and battle intent radiated intensely from each of them, including a diverse range of auras. There was a door with a pair of characters: "The Eye." Beneath those characters written out in universally understood mortal language was a single golden eye that was animated in motion, as if observing all visitors that came and went.
Wei Wuyin had rooms for each of his Prime Ascendants. There was even a room for Bai Lin. Furthermore, each room led to a specific secret realm or subspace realm designed for and catering to their liking, no different than their own independent world. In the Ancient Sealed Region, Bai Xiu's servants, the Tang Clan, lived in the Original Dawn Palace there, and Wei Wuyin had brought her favorites here.
They lived within this ever-developing manifestation art. Walking down these halls, Wei Wuyin halted at the room designed for Bai Lin, subconsciously rubbing the Void Crystal hanging around his neck, dangling alongside the Myriad Yore Continent with a distinct, comforting warmth. I miss you.
Standing behind Wei Wuyin were two figures—Sun Jiazhen and Lady Missulena. Shang Liu had returned. They were quietly in awe. They noted that the entire Original Dawn Palace was created with a magnificent foundation of Elemental Origin Energy and Essences. This was an extremely rare type of energy, requiring either a natural process or the Elemental Origin Intent to create.
However, the quality of this Elemental Origin Energy and Essence far exceeded what they knew. Far EXCEEDED. It was to be expected. After all, Wei Wuyin had condensed his Elemental Origin Intent using not one, not two, not four, but NINE Apex-level Elemental Intents. To further add, he had grasped the Law of Origin and this energy was no longer Elemental Origin Energy but Alpha-Paragon Energy.
It would be easier to find a heaven-defying demonic genius on par with Su Yi than the solidified energy and essence here elsewhere in the greater galaxies.
Wei Wuyin only paused briefly before continuing down the hall. The two followed along while containing their awe and desire to extract a portion of the floor and walls. They would be fools to do so within Wei Wuyin's presence. A literal act of courting death. They soon arrived before a door. The door was simple, only marked by the Character of Mysticism: 'Discussion.' Wei Wuyin didn't need to perform any action before the door opened as if readily allowing him to enter.
The room was rather simple in decor, lacking any distracting elements, with the wall being a rather neutral grey and there only being a round table and chairs. In here, there was no sense of hierarchy as every seat felt equal. "Please, have a seat." Wei Wuyin offered refreshments that appeared on the table, including rare fruits and sweets that exuded a high-end mystic aura.
The fragrant aroma of fruity and sugary sweet elevated the atmosphere, lightening their hearts a little. Sun Jiazhen and Lady Missulena sat respectfully. Within the presence of a Supreme Sage, they were both smart enough to not show the slightest disrespect. Sun Jiazhen didn't flaunt or probe his age to establish a seniority and Lady Missulena acted as a junior would.
Wei Wuyin found this rather amusing since they were both dozens of times his age. Sitting down, he grabbed a fruit and ate it casually, lessening the tension immediately as the two engaged in eating. Lady Missulena's eyes sparkled as she looked at the small piece of red velvet-like cake, sensing the flow of her mystic energies surge with an unprecedented smoothness.
"This is an alchemical product?!" Sun Jiazhen exclaimed after picking a single grape and eating. He was shocked to sense signs of alchemical energies within. "Not directly. They were created by transcendent-quality agricultural paste and elixirs, creating a fascinating fabrication of earthly treasures and heavenly waters within that single grape. That particular grape is called the Earthly Terraforce Grapes.
It's no different than a physique-enhancing product at the Mystic-Earth grade. It's easier to digest naturally. You don't have to circulate your cultivation base as it feeds into it as food would for mortals. You can stuff yourself and sleep, and when you wake up, it'll be no different than cultivating all day or refining a pill of that equality." Wei Wuyin explained as he grabbed a grape and consumed it with a crunchy bite.
"..." Both Lady Missulena and Sun Jiazhen were inwardly startled. This type of method wasn't exactly unique. Farming had always existed but this was pushing that to an entirely different level. Normally, cultivators farmed specific material or grafted a unique material from others, but Wei Wuyin had essentially said he used alchemical products to water and fertilize these things, transforming them into pseudo-products that function as earthly treasures and heavenly waters.
For the next thirty or so minutes, Sun Jiazhen and Lady Missulena ate and drank, enjoying the refreshing new ways to cultivate—by eating! Meanwhile, Wei Wuyin allowed the time to pass with perfunctory small talk, merely discussing topics such as his victory in the Mystics: Royale and Su Yi's incredible combat prowess as a Mystic Overlord, defying conventions.
If not for most of them knowing that Su Yi was likely a reincarnated Supreme Sage, they would find this too unbelievable. "So let's discuss more serious topics. For example..." He timed his shift well, both Sun Jiazhen and Lady Missulena remained light-hearted but simultaneously serious enough to consider these matters. There was no overly tense air. But as the conversion continued, whether it was Sun Jiazhen or Lady Missulena, they both exclaimed no less than three times each.
They looked at Wei Wuyin with unbelievable eyes.
"That's why I require the Incandescent Star Palace's support," Wei Wuyin stated. "..." Sun Jiazhen was silent for a long, long while. Then, he looked at Lady Missulena, his eyes radiating an inconceivable degree of shock. After a while, he faced Wei Wuyin and slowly nodded. "If you can agree to the Palace Lord's requests, then all things are open for discussion."
Lady Missulena was shaken. She couldn't believe her ears. "I'll say this: your gift was very much appreciated," Wei Wuyin calmly said, emphasizing that particular word that caused Lady Missulena's heart to slightly accelerate its beating. There was an underlying tone of a threat here, and she was fully aware that the Arcanids were being obedient on the surface yet sinister in the shadows.
"All things are up for discussion," Lady Missulena said. She only had the authority of an Elder. She couldn't give the final say on such an important decision. Her casually agreeing could reshape the very terrain of an entire galaxy, and potentially open the Utmost Purity Galaxy to its greatest change since its inception. That said, she wasn't against the idea.
In fact, she deeply wanted to agree. "Good," Wei Wuyin chuckled heartily. Their responses were perfect. With that, he brought out a few more refreshments as they discussed some insights into cultivation. One was a great senior and the other was a talented genius, so they had a unique insight into the Mystic Ascendant Realm that others wouldn't have. Wei Wuyin gained quite a bit as the discussion lasted three hours.
When it ended, Sun Jiazhen's aged face was flushed with elation as if he had just solved an extraordinary problem, and Lady Missulena's heart was still beating rapidly, her eyes emitting intermittent bursts of enlightened scholarly light. Wei Wuyin saw them off. They left the Original Dawn Palace back to their headquarters. He looked out into the Dark Void's starry sky at the edge of a balcony.
He felt a steely gaze fixed on his person. It belonged to a Supreme Sage. Specifically, it belonged to the skinny female Supreme Sage of the Zenith Refinement Tower. Her soul-piercing gaze was pulsating with irresolvable hatred. Wei Wuyin's starry eyes glowed brightly. "All that pent-up aggression with no outlet. If you want, you can come here and I'll assist you in finding one.
I might even help with your damaged foundation—if you do a good job," he mouthed with a grin. The only one who could determine his words was the skinny female Supreme Sage. She became livid. Her aura erupted outwards and the entire Refinement Zone quivered in response. Wei Wuyin loudly chuckled. "Antagonizing a Supreme Sage..." the Heavenly War Spirit was sweating on Wei Wuyin's behalf.
After a long moment, she asked: "Do you really think you can fight against a Supreme Sage?" "..." Wei Wuyin's chuckle gradually ceased. He stared out into the starry skies and then turned into his room. He sighed in his heart as he felt the faint exhaustion for the overuse of his Laws, all stemming from his soul as it was mostly depleted. It was one thing to triumph over an Enlightened Sage as a peak Mortal Dao cultivator, but a Resonant Soul Realm cultivator was an entirely different breed.
The difference was like comparing a fully grown pygmy mouse to a fully grown blue whale in terms of size.
It was INCOMPARABLE. Observing the fights earlier was enough for him to get a gauge of their strength and level, including how easily these existences interacted with the Void, his greatest mechanism for escape, movement, and travel. A lot of his confidence garnered by his ascension had been genuinely chipped away, bit by bit. They can draw strength from the heavens! What type of insanity was that?! Even using his authorities of Law, he was only able to move the heavens in a specific manner, while they could emulate and empower it, wield it to unnatural limits in creative and extraordinary ways. They genuinely had galaxy-destroying power unique to their cultivation.
They felt like gods! SEEN DIVINITIES!
Wei Wuyin couldn't replicate their heaven-drawing power. This was always his disadvantage—a disparity in cultivation. He had been struggling trying to observe Mysticism as a mortal. If not for many special circumstances, especially his Celestial Eyes of Spiritual Divinity, he wouldn't have gained that ability, and would have been hopeless against Ascended beings' invincible offensive, defenses, and presence. The Resonant Soul Realm had excessive advantages that he couldn't leverage or easily resist. 'My cultivation is too low,' Wei Wuyin honestly remarked. Whether it was his Spirit of Cultivation, Intent, development of his Mystic Physique, the level of his bloodline, or his grasp of Laws, they were all too low.
"..." The Heavenly War Spirit felt that Wei Wuyin was dancing on a knife's edge. Back in the lesser galaxies, he was invincible. Now? The greater galaxies had Mystic-Heaven Armaments and Supreme Sages in great numbers. It was a new field of power unlike anything that Wei Wuyin had experienced—ever. 'But that doesn't mean I can't win,' Wei Wuyin acknowledged with an incomparably heavy tone. That's right!
Wei Wuyin might not have those insanely profound powers of the heavens and soul, but he had his four Astral Souls and Little Defiant. Wei Wuyin found himself standing by his door, feeling the presence of two lively auras. He thought about his confirmed strengths, and his potential strength, and when he compared that to Su Yi, he felt that...
"Do you think you can defeat that Su Yi fellow as you are now?" The Heavenly War Spirit asked. After all, Su Yi didn't have all the advantages of a Supreme Sage.
The door swung open. Cao Cuifen and Liu Suyin stood outside of it, their eyes glistening with heated emotion and thinly-veiled desire. Once again, the man that displayed invincible dominance was before them.
"I thought...you wouldn't mind some company after your great victory," Cao Cuifen said with uncharacteristic shyness.
Wei Wuyin grinned. Gesturing for them to enter, Liu Suyin grabbed Cao Cuifen's hand and walked right in. They headed for the bed without hesitation, their clothes dissolving with a surge of mystic power, exposing sultry and seductive lingerie. Wei Wuyin's lust grew.
Back to his original line of thinking as he walked to embrace those gorgeously voluptuous bodies that desired him and only him, bringing them to his bed, landing on the soft satin sheets, hearing their tantalizing laughter that would ignite the heat of any man...
...thinking of Su Yi's strength, he thought: 'Nah, I'd win.'

In a separate room, Yue Baoyue nursed Su Yi until his eyebrows fluttered, slowly opening as he regained consciousness.freewebnovel.com
