Chapter 424: Source Qi Space
The Divine Ability he just acquired was called Gourmet Cell, as the name implied, it is related to food and his fleshly body. This ability allowed him to increase his pure physical strength as long as he eat delicious food.
The more delicious the food, the better the ingredients, and the more powerful the ingredient, then the more strength he will increase. This is the perfect ability for a True Dao of Power individual.
‘Does this thing want me to become a foodie?’ While thinking about this, Wang Wei could not help remembering Wu Hong’s cooking. In his previous life, there was a saying: the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.
And his wife understood that better than most people.
Wang Wei has been arrogant, thinking about how good his cooking was because he had access to the culinary ideas of another civilization. And especially since the cultivators of this world relied more on materials that were full of spiritual energy and were naturally delicious.
So, when he went to show up at Wu Hong, he was hit by a rude awakening when he tasted her food. Any meals she made could be described in two ways: unexpected and maximum flavor.
And that’s because she used her sealing powers in the cooking. She could seal the flavor one of a dish into another. For example, she could seal the flavor or taste of beef into a piece of chicken.
That way, once Wang Wei took a bite, the chicken would taste like beef: the unpredictability of any meal added a level of entertainment to the food she cooked. However, this was not the end.
Wu Hong could fuse the taste of chicken and beef if she wanted, creating an entirely new flavor through her sealing ability. Or, she could take the flavor of 1000 chickens or more and sealed them in one piece of chicken, intensifying the taste of that chicken by a thousand times.
Not to mention the other effects her cooking has, like healing, increasing blood energy, soothing the soul, and so on.
Wang Wei remembered the first time he tasted her cooking; it was one of these moments that he realized that he would be a very happy man in the future. Nevertheless, he also wanted to learn her technique, so he asked her to teach him.
Oddly though, she forced him to beg to teach her, and the whole time, she had a smirk on her face.
Little did Wang Wei know that this was revenge for the previous timeline. There, Empress Wu once cooked for him. Although the food was fine, Wang Wei made a great deal of fun of her, saying that she was so terrible at cooking that she could not even boil water.
Of course, the food was not that bad. After all, The Empress was still a higher being, so, how could she fail at something as simple as cooking something with the right temperature.
Unfortunately, she also relied on the high-level material to make her food; there were no seasonings, no wise methods, or anything a real chef would use. So, Wang Wei made fun of her.
Because of this, she wanted him to regret what he said. So, she studied cooking and developed the Sealing Cooking Method to show him. And he did regret his words the first time he tasted her method.
So, in this timeline, she raveled at the fact that he was begging him for her cooking method.
“What Divine Ability did you get?” asked Wang Wucheng.
“Gourmet Cells,” explained Wang Wei how his ability worked. And the latter nodded his head.
“A great ability, perfectly suited for you.”
Wang Wucheng knew that condensing a rank 3 and above was guaranteed to develop a Divine Ability perfectly suited for the user. When he condensed his rank 1 Essence Flower, he also received an ability perfectly suited to walk the path of the True Dao of Power.
“Now, let’s condense the Qi Flower.”
Wang Wucheng once again injected his powers inside Wang Wei’s body. This time, his target was the cracks on his Divine Sea, Divine Altar, and Primordial Spirit. He ensured that they returned to their perfect shape before their destruction, and even enforced them.
However, he was slightly surprised when he saw Wang Wei’s True Primordial Spirit.
‘A combination of Primordial Spirit and True Spirit? This kid is truly a clever genius. Moreover, his soul is so special.’
Wang Wucheng had to use a lot more power than usual to heal the problems in the Primordial Spirit. He even helped Wang Wei lit up a bunch of his Spirit Particles.
During the fight, he only had a few hundred millions of them that were lit up, but now, he had 10 billion of them. Of the 1.263 trillion particles, 10 billion of them were now lit up.
Once he was finished, Wang Wucheng wanted to place a seal on Wang Wei’s soul to prevent outsiders from peeping into it. His intuition told him that this kid’s soul might cause him a great deal of trouble.
However, he stopped when he discovered another seal even more powerful than the one used on the Divine Punishment Lightning, making him sigh with relief.
So, he continued with his next step, which was to purify the origin essence inside Wang Wei’s Divine Sea. Just like before, although Wang Wei thought that it was already purified to the limit: it was not.
The moment the purification process ended, another lotus with twelve petals appeared on top of the crown. This lotus was all white for a moment before one of his petals turned black.
Just like the previous one, all 12 of them turned black in just a few seconds before filling the second hole on the crown. And immediately afterward, Wang Wei felt something different in his Divine Sea:
Spiritual Qi.
Not the one absorbed from Heaven and Earth but produced directly inside the Divine Sea. Wang Wei’s Infinite Divine Sea would continuously expand as long as he lived.
However, to fill it up, he was still required to absorb spiritual qi from the environment and convert it directly to origin essence. In the Divine Altar Realm, his body can do this automatically, however, this did not change the fact that he still has to rely on Heaven and Earth’s Spiritual Qi.
This was one of the reasons that he wanted to cultivate as a Body Refiner in the first place. Just in case he was placed in a situation where his Divine Sea was dried and he could not replenish it.
However, now, he no longer had this problem as his body could naturally produce spiritual qi, essentially granting him infinite energy.
Wang Wei focused on this new Divine Ability and his eyes become bright. This was not the end of this ability. He could sacrifice a large amount of spiritual qi to convert them into Innate Qi and even do the same to Innate Qi to convert them into Chaos Qi.
However, he was not aware of the specific ratio for now.
“I wonder where did the Spiritual Qi come from? Did it appear out of nowhere?’
Curiosity suddenly came over Wang Wei, so he wanted to find the answer. His soul was not intact and even better than before. So, he focused all his attention on the Qi Flower, while using the power of Karma to find the origin of the spiritual qi.
Using his very keen senses, Wang Wei then discovered a very thin thread connected to the Qi Flower and the Spiritual Qi that appeared inside his Divine Sea.
He latched onto it and follow it to its source. Wang Wei could feel that his soul was rapidly traveling to some unknown place, and after what both appeared to be a long time and an instant, he found himself floating in a large space.
Below him was a white sea that stretched beyond the horizon; the sea seemed endless, with no limits or boundaries. Unfortunately, or maybe, fortunately, something suddenly yanked him out of this space.
“Kid, are you crazy? Do you want to be obliterated?” said Wang Wucheng with a serious look on his face.
“What was this place?”
“The Source Qi Space.”
Wang Wei’s mind rushed as he remembered reading about this in the Secret Archive. The Source Qi Space is rumored to be the birthplace of all energy in the universe; it is where the Spiritual Qi of all worlds across all communities originated from.
At the same time, it is also the place that Great Emperors have to travel to acquire Immortal Qi or Immortal Source to refine for people to become Immortal Venerables.
As such, he understood that if Wang Wucheng did not pull him out, something terrible might have happened to him. After all, he was not a Great Emperor; hell, he was still a Mortal.
“It would be best for you not to go to that place. Plus, wait until you reach the peak of the Primordial Realm to condense the Spirit Flower,” said Wang Wucheng with a little complicated look on his face.
Since this kind was able to access the Source Qi Space now, this meant that once he became an Emperor, the amount of Immortal Venerables he could create could probably be even more than any Eternal Emperors.
Wang Wucheng sighed internally. He knew that what just happened was truly a miracle, and if it was not for this kid’s strange soul, he would have been instantly annihilated before even coming close to that space, let alone surviving for a few seconds.
After all, even an Insurgent Heaven Chosen like himself cannot survive long in the Source Qi Space.
Wang Wei nodded his head; he was about to thank this ancestor before leaving with his quiet father. However, he suddenly remembered something and asked something else.
