Wang Wei walked into the grand celebration hall followed by his two maids, he looked like an average 15-year-old boy even though he was just turning 3 years old, because his physical body has been thoroughly tempered and elevated to the peak of this world, he was dressed in an ancient white Taoist dress as he strode confidently into the room.
"Wang Wei pays his respect to elders." Wang Wei said as his back arched into a bow, the people that were sitting in this room, even though their auras were suppressed, it was obvious by their looks alone that they were so far removed from ordinary people that it couldn't even be compared.
The people that were sitting in this room could all destroy mountains and flip seas, his father could even destroy Earth with a flip of his hand as Earth was as he found out only one of the impossibly many lower planes that exist below the higher realms.
And after saying that, all the cultivators got up one by one to greet him because even though he was just a mortal without the possibility to cultivate, he was still the son of an immortal and a member of the Celestial Wang Dynasty.
The cultivators that had the privilege of attending this banquet were all either very very powerful cultivators that were close to achieving immortality, the generals of the immortal army of the Celestial Wang Dynasty, or the members of the Wang family.
After Wang Wei sat down to eat, he noticed that a lot of the people attending the gathering were casting contemptuous glances at him, of course, that didn't bother him one bit, but he did feel a bit bad for being a burden on his father.
When his mother saw his downcast expression she laid a gentle hand on his shoulder, his mother Shen Hua was originally an ordinary person from a lower realm, that was taken in as a disciple by his father Wang Qian while he was traveling the lower realms because she was detected to have the Heavenly Nine Extremes Yin spiritual root that allowed a person to progress extremely rapidly during cultivation and even allowed them to comprehend the Primordial Dao of Yin and Yang during the later stages of cultivation.
When his mother was discovered and taken in as a disciple her cultivation progressed rapidly and in less than 20,000 years she achieved enlightenment in the Primordial Dao of Yin and Yang and planted the Dao seed in her Nascent soul to achieve the Deification realm.
When she became a Deification realm cultivator she and Wang Wei's father started courting each other. What was extremely strange was that when two superior beings had a child that child was almost guaranteed to be a heaven-defying genius, but despite all odds, they still had Wang Wei who was unfortunately born without spiritual roots.
After that, the banquet passed without any incidents and Wang Wei got to taste demonic beast meat of the Nirvana Pheonix at the Deification realm that his father personally hunted especially for his birthday celebration. After all the guests were escorted out and all the Wang family members left for their own compounds, the only people left in the banquet hall were his parents and his maids.
"Father I have something to say... I have succeeded in breaking through to the Blood-Exchange realm, and I would like to be finally allowed to leave this palace and explore the world!" Wang Wei said with an exceptant tone.
But Wang Qian's face wasn't that of pride that he expected, it was that of pure shock, and the reason for this shock was that if a child wanted to break through the Blood-Exchange realm at three years old they would have to have an unbreakable will to survive.
Even the first stage of physical cultivation, Skin-tempering was achieved by continually burning your skin until it was completely gone and then taking heavenly medicine to heal it stronger than before and to survive that torture for a child is practically impossible let alone all the other stages that become only more and more torturous.
But Wang Qian was an Immortal and has seen many things during his long life so he quickly recovered and said to the maids with a serious face "Leave.", the maids saw the seriousness in the room and quickly vacated the banquet hall.
After they left Wang Qian continued "Wei'er, the reason I gave you that ultimatum was not to keep you inside the palace forever, but in order to give me the opportunity to find a possibility for you to cultivate! You may not know this but our higher realm is just one of many and each and every one of them is unique and each of them have their own cultivation system, in fact, the physical cultivation you are currently cultivating was in fact left on this world by a passing Immortal!"
"So my plan was that while you were training protected in the palace I was preparing to leave this world to go to explore other higher realms to find a cultivation system that doesn't require a spiritual root, but the distance between higher realms is extremely large, and even an Immortal like me would take hundreds of years to reach one of them let alone return. And in order for your lifespan to hold out until I returned with a cultivation system capable enough to achieve immortality you had to cultivate in this torturous method. " Wang Qian finished with guilt apparent on his face because he forced his son to endure this torture.
Wang Wei had an expression of understanding on his face #So that is why father proposed such an Ultimatum.#, but before he could say anything, Wang Qian continued "But recently things have changed, in the void outside our world a secret realm has appeared and using divination methods we were able to find out that it was an inheritance site of a person that is suspected to be above the Immortal realm, the Dao-Ancestor realm!"
