Chapter 6 - Dao Heart
Wang Wei walked up the mountain toward the Sect Master Hall while pondering all the information he gathered about this world.
As soon he learned about cultivation, he immediately decided he must be the bearer of Heaven Will in this generation.
As a member of the transmigrator group, of course, he must go to the peak. Among all his fellow villagers, who among them did not become supremely powerful, marry a beautiful or multiple immortal wives, and become a winner in life.
One of the most satisfying things for Wang Wei was his powerful background. He is the son of the Sect Leader of the Dao Opening Sect: one of the most powerful sects in the Qilin Central Continent.
You know, among the five continents, the Qilin Central Continent is the most powerful, the most competitive, and one with the most spiritual qi and the most Emperor Lineage.
Emperor Lineage refers to sects or groups that cultivate a Great Emperor.
Wang Wei later learned that even his mother's family was also an Emperor Lineage. So, when it comes to background, few people could compare to him.
Despite all of this, Wang Wei did not become arrogant and complacent. In fact, all the halos he was born with just motivated him to perform better while under pressure.
After all, there were so many expectations of him.
Today, he was going to have a meeting with all the upper level of the sects in order to take his first step in his Path of Emperor.
When Wang Wei arrived in the Meeting Hall, many people were here waiting for him--including his father.
Wang Wei looked at the Elders, then his father. At this moment, his father was not the lovey-dovey father he was used to seeing at home, but a powerful cultivator who dominated a great sect.
He was quite domineering, Wang Wei quietly admired.
When Wang Wei arrived everyone concentrated on him and the atmosphere in the room became quite tense. Although these people did not release any forms of aura, it was quite scary to be stared at by them.
After all, all the people in the room have powerful cultivation levels and have great status in the world. Can any ordinary person withstand being stared at by them?
In fact, Wang Wei noticed that there were quite a few powerful Divine Consciousness paying attention to this meeting. Most likely to be his grandfather and the Supreme Elders in the Cottage in the Back of the Main Mountain.
In fact, because of his powerful soul, Wang Wei had many weird and extraordinary talents. One of which is to be able to notice Divine Consciousness despite not having started cultivating.
Wang Wei's powerful soul was one of his greatest and main reliance to proclaim himself Emperor. However, he knew that this alone was not enough.
However, despite the little test of the Elders, Wang Wei was quite calm. In his past life, he had trained himself to maintain a poker face when meeting with his boss.
"Young Master, why did you call all of us for this meeting?
" said the Great Elder of the Formation Hall.
The reason he spoke first was that he was the closest to Wang Wei during the past eight years. Not just him, but the Great Elders of Refining Hall, Alchemy Hall, and Talisman Hall.
Wang Wei had spent the majority of his time studying with them; so they were quite close. Wang Wei started studying these professions mainly to accomplish a great plan that would be extremely important in laying his foundation for his future. So, he became quite close with the people of these Halls.
After walking in the room, Wang Wei bowed and said:
"Hello, Sect Master, Great Elders and Elders. I have called you today to ask for help.
"
After saying that, Wang Wei paused a moment, adjusted his state, pondered his words carefully and continued.
"After spending many years reading stories about the legendary deeds of countless Great Emperors, I started to ask myself what is the main trait necessary for one to become a Great Emperor?
"
After hearing Wang Wei's words, the people listening to him were surprised. To them, the Young Master was a snotty nosed brat that did not even reach the appropriate age to start cultivating. And yet, he was talking about the greatest realm that a cultivator could reach in their lives.
Although they felt absurd, they did not interrupt him and let him continue.
Then, Wang Wei's only voice echoed in the hall.
"Does it require great talent to be an Emperor? No, there have been many Emperors with mediocre talent that defeated many Heaven Chosens and succeeded the throne.
"
"If not talent, then maybe resources? Hmm no, there have been quite a few Emperors that were Loose Cultivators. By relying just on themselves, they acquired countless resources and took the throne from others with much more abundant background than them.
"
"Powerful Cultivating Scriptures and Dao technique? Still no, many Emperors have relied on ordinary scriptures and technique. Then, by their own effort, elevated these scriptures into Emperor level Scriptures.
"
"Maybe hard work is the key? What a joke. Without hard work and dedication, no cultivator would ever reach Sainthood in their life, let alone bear Heaven Will. Cultivating is like sailing a boat, without going forward, then you are going backward.
"
"Then the answer is possibly Luck? But luck is illusory and destined by Heaven. We cultivators cannot yet affect the Ways of Heaven.
"
"So what is the answer?
"
"In my opinion, the answer to this question is an Unbreakable Dao Heart. Having a Firm Dao Heart means that no matter what defeat, despair, and pain you encounter, you could still move forward. A firm Dao Heart means that no matter the obstacle, you have a mind to pursue the great truth of the Dao.
"
"Cultivating is like sailing in a Sea of Bitterness, the body is the boat, the soul is the sail, the cultivation is the wind, but the Dao Heart is the compass that leads to the other shore.
"
"Cultivating is a Path of Defying Heaven, without a grand and encompassing Dao Heart, how can one bear Heaven Will and proclaim themselves Emperor!
"
After finishing his speech, a grand and mighty aura came out of Wang Wei's body. Behind him, you could see a gigantic figure that vaguely resembled him looking down at Myriad Beings bowing to him. He was powerful and majestic.
Unfortunately, the figure was quite illusory and soon faded away.
The people in the room and the ones secretly watching saw that figure were shocked. Then, they were very excited. They knew what that shadowy figure meant.
This was the sign of a Young Emperor. Although Wang Wei had not fully condensed this figure yet, the fact that he had the potential was more than enough.
What is a Young Emperor?
That is someone that displayed the quality and abilities of the Great Emperor before they reached the realm. The title of Young Emperor cannot be given to just anyone. You know, the majority of Great Emperors did not have this title when they were young.
And those who did, once they Prove the Dao and bear Heaven Will, they will become Legends among Emperors. You know, among Great Emperors, there are differences between weak and strong.
Of course, being a Young Emperor does not necessarily mean that you will become an Emperor. It just means that you will be one of the main contenders that's all.
As such, for the Dao Opening Sect, the Young Emperor talent displayed by Wang Wei gave them a lot of confidence.
After all, they were betting a lot for this generation Heaven's Will.
