Chapter 292: Heaven Stage
In the past 500 years, Wang Wei has opened his remaining 6 Orifices, thus cleansing his spirit and properly finishing the Earth Stage of the Divine Body Realm.
After opening the Tongue Orifice, his sense of taste drastically increased. If he wanted, he could distinguish all the ingredients--including seasoning and heat temperature--of any meal that he ate.
He even tested this ability with pills. He swallowed a pill with more than 400 hundred ingredients, and he could distinguish all of them alone based on the taste of the pill.
The next Orifice that he opened were his noses. This granted him the ability to smell things from kilometers away, smell colors, smell the putrid scent of people with negative karma or sins. This was a very bad experience for him.
Finally, he opened the Eyes Orifices. Despite his expectations, nothing much changed after opening those two orifices. Besides an increase in vision and the power of his True Vision granted by his soul slightly increased in strength, nothing much changed.
Once all orifices were opened, his body seemed to have become free, more complete; it seems to have evolved to a higher state. For example, even without spiritual energy, he could survive for a few decades or more.
He does not need to eat or sleep like a regular person. Furthermore, his body does not decay like ordinary people’s. Even if died, his body would remain in perfect shape for a few hundred years.
All these abilities were granted to him just because of the Divine Body Realm, not because of his powerful fleshly body.
Nevertheless, after entering the Peak of the Earth Stage, Wang Wei realized that because of how powerful he already was, his strength only increased slightly after opening the Orifices.
He was not happy about this fact. Normally, after someone opened the Orifices, they would enter the Heaven Stage of the Divine Body Realm. In this stage, cultivators will start controlling the power of Heaven and Earth.
Usually, when cultivators fight, they rely on their strength. However, in the Divine Body Realm, they can borrow the might of Heaven and Earth to destroy their enemies. After all, compared to Heaven and Earth, most cultivators are nothing but ants crawling on the ground trying to survive.
In the Divine Altar Realm, cultivators have to blend their spirit or minds into Heaven and Earth. In the Earth Stage of the Divine Body Realm, they opened their Orifices as a process to cleanse their spirits or minds of earthly restrictions of the body like eating, sleeping, or secretion.
Once the spirit reaches a certain level of strength, it can bear the power of Heaven and Earth. This stage is divided into 9 sub-stages called the 9 Heavens.
The spirit connects the body with the soul, so they are connected. The more powerful one becomes, the other will follow soon to reach a certain state of balance. And with Wang Wei’s Paragon Soul, his spirit is ridiculously powerful.
As such, he knew that he could reach the 9th Heaven as soon as he entered the Heaven Stage. But, he was not satisfied with his gains in the Earth Stage. So, he decided to take another path.
The Orifices that he opened reminded him of the Chakra System from Hinduism in his past life. So, he made the bold assumption that if Orifices existed, then the same could be said for Chakras. And by opening them, he could further develop the potential of his body.
So, he used his unforgettable memory to review his life back on Earth. Because of the nature of his work, Wang Wei had to deal with many international clients. A few of them practiced Taoism, Hinduism, and Buddhism.
In an attempt to get close to these clients, he read many scriptures in these religions and their doctrines. Of course, back then, he only knew the surface level, enough to have a conversation.
Now, he was taking his time to review these scriptures and find the knowledge he wanted. After decades of meditation, he managed to discover the hidden gates of the body that referred to the Seven Chakras.
After that, Wang Wei opened them one by one using the Good Fortune Flame starting from the Root Chakra.
After opening the Root Chakra (Muladhara) which was located in the base of his spine, a red light appeared all over his body, followed by an intense Earth energy. Then, the gate of this Chakra is connected to his spleen--which is also earth-related in nature.
The strength of his fleshly body increased by at least 5%. On top of that, his mind seemed to be sublimated. Wang Wei felt more confident, more determined to face any challenge. His already powerful Will also strengthens.
After opening the Sacral Chakra (Swadhisthana) located 2 inches below the navel, the Chakra gate connected to his kidney--which was also water in nature. His body once again strengthened, and his Divine Sea suddenly increased 10 times in size.
Additionally, since this Chakra controlled sexual energy, it also connected to the Ears, Genitals, and Anus Orifices. Wang Wei’s ability to control his emotion and sexual urges strengthened after this chakra opened.
The next Chakra opened was the Solar Plexus (Manipura) located in the upper abdomen in the stomach area. This Chakra was related to the fire element, so it connected to his heart.
This Chakra removed a lot of Wang Wei’s self-doubt about the future; no matter what occurred, he was prepared to face any challenge in his path of cultivation. Even his slight fear of Di Tian was gone.
Next was the Heart Chakra (Anahata) located just above the heart. This chakra made him easier to accept and give love. After opening it, the little mistrust he had about Wu Hong because of all the secrets were removed; he fully accepted her and all her mystery.
The fifth Chakra was the Throat Chakra (Vishuddha). This Chakra connected with his Tongue Orifice, and Wang Wei gained a new ability. The opening of this chakra allowed him to be even more open about his ambitions or desire to become free and unfettered.
And since his pursuit of the Dao was reinforced, so was his Dao Heart.
The 6th Chakra was the Third-Eye Chakra (Ajna). After opening it, a third eye appeared on his forehead. With it, he could now see so many things that even his True Vision ability could not even see. Plus, the eye has had a powerful ability that came with it.
Finally, he opened the last one, the Crown Chakra (Sahasrara). This one was the most beneficial to him yet. After opening it, all the 7 Chakras connected to one another, his body turned golden.
His Sea of Consciousness rapidly expanded along with his soul--which finally reached the level of the Supreme Realm.
Following this, he immediately entered the 9th Heaven of the Heaven Stage and beyond.
His True Will or Duyu Realm as the previous Devil God mentioned further strengthens. However, Wang Wei still did not know how to use this power besides destroying the cultivation of people with weak foundations.
A large number of impurities came out of his body, mostly coming from his blood as this was the only untempered part of his body. A large amount of vitality was then infused into his blood, slowly turning it purple.
After opening all his Chakras, Wang Wei underwent a tremendous transformation that drastically increased his strength. After that, he immediately added these methods to his [Transcending Fate Sutra], further optimizing and updating it.
Then, he went to Battle Tower to fight against the clone of the Battle Maniac Emperor to solidify his foundation and control his power.
While Wang Wei was going through his training, Ji Su stood in front of a tomb with Ji Wen bowing to it: it was Ji Song’s tomb.
"Little Song, unfortunately, with my talent and strength, I cannot avenge you. However, please be at peace, for in this world, strength is not the only way to kill someone."
He looked in the direction of the Dao Opening Sect, his eyes filled with hatred and ruthlessness. Having made some kind of decision, Ji Su allowed his father to remain a puppet to control the dynasty, then he headed for the Western White Tiger Continent.
He did not know where his path of vengeance would lead him, but he was willing to pay anything for it--even his life.
