Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Snow Tiger Mountain, inside the chaotic space left by the explosion of the Secret Realm, Wang Wei finally opened his eyes during his retreat. He exhaled out a long breath before checking the result of his seclusion.

The biggest gain he accomplished during this retreat was the fact that his skin seemed to tempered to another level. After close observation, Wang Wei discovered that on top of being very dense, his skin has an additional innate aura or magnetic field automatically protecting him.

So, if someone wanted to break through his defense, they first had to go through the aura or magnetic field, then pierced his skin and muscles. 

As for his actual skin, Wang Wei easily noticed that the density of it is heading in the direction of a neutron star--which was considered one of the densest materials in the universe in his previous life.

Although Wang Wei knew that his skin did not reach that level yet, he was still rapidly approaching. In order to check his progress, he took out a High Grade Earth Tier sword and tried to pierce his skin.

Before the origin artifact could even touch his skin, Wang Wei felt a powerful resistance preventing the sword from penetrating. Knowing this, he smiled and used more force, then the sword pierced the innate aura surrounding him before hitting his skin.

After a few seconds of resistance, the sword then went through his skin before cutting the muscles. After seeing this, Wang Wei smiled and removed the origin artifact.

This test has proven that his defense has reached the bare minimum level of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Of course Wang Wei could tell that only his skin has reached that level and his strength has only increased a little, but he was still happy. As long as he does not die during a battle, everything is fine as he can always find a way to victory.

Of course Wang Wei also knows that his defensive ability is not absolute. In this cultivator world where there are attacks that focus on the soul, or weird curses that ignore all defenses, or attacks on the conceptual level, his defensive ability can only buy him time to figure out counter-measures to these weird techniques.

After checking his skin, Wang Wei started to check his bones. The next part of his body that needs to be tempered through the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture].

With this retreat, all the early tempering has been done. So, as soon as he returns to the sect, all he has to do is immediately enter the Body Refining Secret Realm for a few years, then inject the material necessary to complete the process.

After checking all of his gains in this retreat, Wang Wei still kept the formation to isolate the chaotic space, then he flew straight back to the Great Xia Capital, where he called all his officials to come attend a meeting.

While Wang Wei was sitting in his Dragon Throne waiting for the arrival of the other people, the first person to arrive was in fact Empress Dong Lifen as she was the closest.

After seeing her, Wang Wei's eyes lit up and he said, "It seemed that you have succeeded."

Dong Lifen--who was now in the Divine Sea Realm--bowed before taking her seat, "It was all thanks to his majesty!"

Wang Wei just nodded while secretly sighing. Right before he entered seclusion, Dong Lifen discovered a way to use Qi Luck to improve her foundation.

The method was actually quite straightforward as all she had to do was absorb the Qi Luck of the dynasty, but instead of using it to increase her own luck, she used to acquire a Dao Foundation instead.

And with Dong Lifen's years of accumulation, she directly entered the River of Origin after entering the Divine Sea Realm.

The reason that Wang Wei sighed was due to the fact he had encountered a major problem in his study of Qi Luck. Through Dong Lifen, he has managed to find a way for his black Qi Dragon to turn into purple up to 99.99%, however, the remaining 0.01% seemed to be a terrible chasm that prevented Wang Wei' success.

As a result, he was quite frustrated for a while as he could feel that something important would happen to him once he succeeded. However, no matter what he did, he could fill in the last remaining percentage.

As such, Wang Wei was forced to use the tactic of just slowly wearing it out through the passage of time, otherwise he would have to wait until a plan came to him.

After a few hours of waiting and chatting, all the high levels soon arrived. With the flying construct of Great Xia, these people can arrive in the capital in just a few hours at a moment's notice. In the meantime, Wang Wei also learned that his seclusion only took a little over 6 months.

As a matter of fact, many of the native officials were very happy to see Wang Wei's back. During his absence, Yan Liling as the Chancellor was in charge of the dynasty, something which many people did not particularly back. So, they were happy to have their majesty back.

Of course, whether Yan Liling, Li Jun, or Wang Ju all knew about the crooked idea inside these officials' heads. However, none of them care about this. 

Although many of these officials were capable people, sometimes their visions were too low; they could not see beyond the petty court politics of this world.

. . .

After everybody arrived, Wang Wei started the meeting with Wang Ju reporting from the moment he entered seclusion.

"Your majesty, after you entered seclusion, we cleaned up all the noble clans in the dynasty, leaving no heirs. However, according to the information that the Fate Shadow Guards gathered, these nobles still have a few illegitimate children scattered throughout the world, but all of them seemed to be people without [Leakless Bodies], so we did not know whether to place them in the executing list."

Wang Wei waved his hand as he did care about these people that could not even cultivate, let alone be a threat to him. Not to mention that he was soon leaving this world, even if these people somehow managed to come back for revenge, he still had total confidence in himself.

Wang Ju nodded and continued to explain the development of the Fate Shadow Guards during the past few months. Then, it was Yan Liling's turn.

"A few weeks after your retreat, we managed to conquer the Fang Divine Dynasty, however, Fang Lijuan was gone right before we took over all her territory. I am assuming that she crushed her talisman and left the trial."

"Soon after we conquered the Fang Divine Dynasty, some random people suddenly sent us news that both the Coalition Leader and Monarch Huang Min were dead, thus leaving their territory in chaos and for the taken."

"So, I quickly rallied our army to conquer as much land as possible. Unfortunately, the same news was also sent to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Currently, we have managed to conquer three-fourth of the territory of the former Huang Divine Dynasty, while the Great Zhou got the entire Savior Alliance and the remaining quarter territory of Huang Min's territory."

Wang Wei had a pensive look on his face after hearing this before asking, "So our borders finally touch with the Great Zhou?"

"That is correct."

"Has there been any fighting between the two of us?"

"No," replied LI Jun. "Currently, there is an unspoken truth between the two dynasties as we focus more on digesting the territory that we have occupied."

Wang Wei nodded when he heard this before asking, "Do you know the people who sent the sudden information?"

"According to our investigation," replied Wang Ju, "We discovered that the information came from a group of people from the Great Shu Dynasty."

"Oh, how come?"

"The Fate Shadow Guard discovered a special group of people determined to undermine the stability of the Great Shu Dynasty. More importantly, Feng Heng seemed to spend a great amount of time and resources hunting down these people."

"According to our analysis, these people are most likely sent by his competitors from the same sect to disturb his trial."

"It seems that Feng Heng's position in the Taiyi Profound Gate is not completely secured," replied Wang Wei with a pensive look on his face."

After hearing the most important events that occurred during his absence, Wang Wei then began to take care of the little details in his dynasty.

For example, due to the large area of the dynasty, the concept of city, county, and states was not enough to govern all the territory. So a new system of Prefecture was added.

A group of states was called a Prefecture, then a governor was chosen as the leader of said Prefecture. The tenure of the Governor position was only after a few years, then based on the person's performance, he will either be promoted or move to another prefecture.

This method was used to prevent one Governor from amassing too much power and prestige due to being stationed in one place for a long period of time. Although Wang We did not care about this kind of thing, he began to plan for the future of his dynasty after he left this world.

After everything was over, Wang Wei began to prepare with his clash against the Great Zhou Dynasty--or Ji Song to be precise.

Unfortunately, before these two giants could clash, something happened that affected the entire world and all the Heaven Chosen still remaining.
