Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

(AN: I’m in a hurry, so this chapter is also not properly edited.)

——

Wu Ming could not contain his excitement. His reaction was so intense that the trillion people outside watching wondered what made the Palace Master of such an ancient lineage have such a reaction.

However, this could not be helped as the offer made by Wang Wei was too exciting. Wu Ming knew his Wu Clan could not completely control the Origin Rune Palace even with the Dao Opening Sect’s help.

His objective is to buy enough time for the clan to cultivate a Great–preferably an Eternal Emperor, but he won’t mind a Pseudo Eternal like that bastard Haiyuan.

As for him? He never thought of proving the Dao for multiple reasons. A part of him has a deep fear and awe of Wang Wei ever since their first encounter in the Spirit Road Trial.

In truth, Wu Ming undervalued himself. Just like Tong Ruobing said, Wang Wei’s idea was nothing but that–an idea. She had to work hard and use her talent to turn it into reality.

And the same is true for Wu Ming. Furthermore, his actions of infiltrating the Origin Rune Palace is something that even Wang Wei praised him for, admiring his boldness and wisdom.

So, Wu Ming has become a true Heaven Chosen worthy of the title. Sadly, his Dao Heart is flawed.

He acquired a deep awe and respect for Wang Wei after the latter gave him the idea of the Totem Warriors. And this awe prevented him from directly confronting Wang Wei, which eventually led him to participate in this battle as an ally instead of a true participant.

Wu Ming’s plan for himself was for the future. After controlling the Origin Rune Palace and leaving a deep foundation for his family, he planned to seal himself and wait for the future before proving the Dao.

He hoped one of his descendants would become Emperor, wake him up, and wash his karma. But now, he might have another chance.

Wu Ming took a deep breath to calm down. Regardless of his experience, he was still the leader of an ancient Emperor Lineage. So, most people could not compare to his state of mind.

‘Sect Master Wei, could you tell me about this chance? It’s not that I don’t believe you, but such a thing….’

Wang Wei understood his concern. After all, no one in the history of this world would dare say they could make other people Emperor. So, he pondered for a moment before revealing how he could send Wu Ming into the upper dimension to prove the Dao.

‘Such a method is indeed feasible.’ Despite his words, Wu Ming had a frown on his face, and Wang Wei could deduce why.

‘I don’t think it’s possible to return to the lower dimension,’ he continued. ‘From my calculations, True Heavenly Dao might allow you to send a projection to preach to the world and maybe even leave your Emperor Scripture, Artifact, and Array to your lineage.

‘However, I’m not completely sure about that.’

‘What about Immortal Venerables and Dao Ancestors?’ Wu Ming wanted to leave a foundation for his Wu Clan.

‘You might be able to refine the Immortal Mansions and Grand Dao Source Seed in advance and leave them in a space ring. However, as I said, I do not know how flexible True Heavenly Dao will be.

‘In the end, you might not even be able to interfere at all.’

Wu Ming nodded as he understood this was something no one had done before. Maybe some Emperors ascended to the upper dimension with some talented Heaven Chosens that proved the Dao. But no one sent people to the upper dimension while staying in the lower dimension.

‘If everything works, this method can allow me to leave a deep foundation for the Wu Clan,’ thought Wu Ming to himself. ‘However, there is still a major flaw compared to the orthodox method–Insurgents.’

It is not simple for Great Emperors to train Insurgents for their clans. The process usually requires time and resources. And certain Insurgents–like Array Two from the Origin Rune Palace–require an Emperor to personally cultivate using plenty of resources and his own Grand Dao Source.

And Wang Wei’s method does not allow for the creation of these kinds of Insurgents.

‘The only way to remedy this situation is to use unique Qi from the Source Qi Space that can create potent Insurgents.’

Wu Ming knew this was the only solution to this problem. However, from the records he read, the Source Qi Space was a dangerous place, and it was not easy to find powerful Insurgent Level Qi.

‘Fine, I agree with this deal,’ said Wu Ming. Although the sect’s luck will not be in the Wu Clan’s control for the next 200 generations, it was a small price to pay to control an Emperor’s Lineage.

Furthermore, until that time, the Dao Opening Sect will act as their protector and remove all dissidents that try to harm the Wu Clan’s benefit. Of course, Wu Ming has planned to prevent the Wu Clan from being dissatisfied with this deal once they become powerful.

He could foresee the Great Emperor of the Wu Clan becoming unhappy about this deal and trying to end it. So, he would leave methods to prevent that from happening. 

Wu Ming knew with the current Dao Opening Sect, even an Eternal Emperor could no longer act willfully before them.

‘Excellent,’ said Wang Wei with a smile. Wu Ming’s deal made him aware of something he had overlooked–the luck of the Ancestor Lineages. So, he decided to sell the Emperor Spot to these factions, and the price will be to borrow their faction’s luck during his reign in the lower dimension.

He plans to do the same for the Ancient Clan.

‘The Luck Blessing of these factions should greatly boost comprehension.’

His plan will condense the luck of the entire Myriad Emperor World for him to use; this is one of the reasons he was confident in cultivating the Empyrean Realm in the lower dimension.

But now, if he adds the special luck of these factions, he will receive another buff that can increase his chance of success and reduce the time he needs.

Of course, he knew these factions might not agree easily. Unfortunately, they won’t have a chance.

‘I’m glad we can come to an agreement,’ said Wang Wei.

‘I’m sensing a but,’ added Wu Ming.

‘Yes. I need you to do something for me. But the process will be unpleasant.’

Wu Ming briefly pondered, ‘Unpleasant but not dangerous?’

‘There is a certain level of danger, but it is within the limit of your strength.’

Wu Ming did not immediately agree, ‘Can you give me more information?”

Wang Wei nodded, ‘There is a participant in this battle that I cannot find.’

‘Cannot find? What do you mean?’

‘I cannot detect his presence or whereabouts–no matter the method,’ replied Wang Wei with squinted eyes.

‘Who is it?’

‘Feng Heng.’

‘The Taiyi Profound Gate’s traitor?’ muttered Wu Ming. ‘He’s that capable?’ Feng Heng has always been low-key in this generation, and few people know how powerful he is.

Wang Wei only nodded but did not explain. Shi Fuyi, the monk who possessed Feng Heng’s body, was a master of hiding. During his life, he has hidden from countless Emperors and even used the Forbidden Zones to hide from Eternal Emperors.

So, even by using his current Third Class Strength and capabilities, Wang Wei did not find where he hid.

‘What exactly do you want me to do?’

‘I’m worried that when I’m at my weakest, Feng Heng will strike.’

Wang Wei feared that Feng Heng would hide until after his battle with Di Tian. Then, while he is still weak and healing, sneak attacks him.

‘So, I need you to wait by my side and prevent this from happening.’

Wu Ming pondered for a moment before his pupil dilated, ‘You want to use some methods to control me.’

‘Yes. I cannot entrust my life to you, so I need to temporarily control you. However, we will take the necessary protocol to ensure that it’s only during the battle.’

Wu Ming frowned as he repressed the unpleasant feeling in his mind.

‘Why do you need me when you have your generals?’

Wang Wei paused, ‘I have a feeling they will be in the same shape as me by the end of this battle. And some might even have to leave.’

Wang Wei did not think it would be easy for his team to deal with Di Tian. In that case, he needs to prepare in advance for the worst-case scenario.

‘How strong is Feng Heng?’ asked Wu Ming with a slight grunt.

‘So far, he displayed the limit of 7-Leaf. However, his trump cards should be quite threatening. So, I will give you a Dao Artifact for safety.’

‘In that case, I agree.’ Wu Ming came so far, and his plan was so close to success. So, he decided to bear this unpleasantness.

‘Excellent…Huh?’

Wang Wei suddenly paused as he looked somewhere. He smiled brilliantly, “It seems luck is on my side.”
