Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Everyone turned their heads to look at Wang Ju with the same questioning look; their faces were basically saying what do you mean that there was a problem? Everything was fine a few days ago.

With a calm look on her face, Wang Ju said: "The incense we have gathered has dispersed?"

"What do you mean by this?"

"Let me show you," she replied before flying away with the group following her. Not long afterward, the group arrived at the largest temple in the capital.

Inside the main room, countless Gods knelt in front of a statue of Wang Wei praying to him. Using the [Qi Watching Technique], the group could feel faint golden energy on top of these Gods' heads.

Although their faith was not pure enough because they were not true believers, however, due to their powerful souls, the incense energy that they provided was still quite large.

Li Jun's group then watched as the golden incense came from these gods' souls and entered the statue which was an artifact refined to contain the power of incense. Unfortunately, after entering inside, the incense energy was slowly dissipating.

The group slowly watched this happening, then Li Jun asked; "What's going? Could something be have been wrong with the refinement process of the statue?"

"Unlikely," replied Wang Ju. "After noticing this problem, I have already contacted my men scatted all over the realm; the problem is prevalent everywhere."

"Did you not find anything from the Death God's memory?" asked Yan Liling.

"His soul is after all equal to a Void Shattering Realm, so it will take me some time to properly search it," replied Wang Ju.

While everyone was frowning, Tie Gang waved his hand to capture a Title God. "Do you know what's going on with the incense?"

"S-Sir, I do not know anything," replied the Disease God. However, Tie Gang could feel that this guy's eyes were suspicious and contained some guilt.

"There are many people here that should know the answer to my question," said Tie Gang with a cold look. "If you are not one of these people, you have no value in living.

"Better yet, I should probably directly search your soul."

The Disease's God then immediately said: "It's because of the Destiny Goddess."

"What do you mean?" asked Li Jun, who already had a guess.

"She controlled the Divinity of Fate and Destiny. As long as she is alive, all the faith regarding this divinity will belong to her; no one can break this rule."

The group frowned as they knew that what these gods called [Divinity] was what their cultivators called [Law]. From this person's words, they knew that the fundamental rules that governed this world did not allow one person to share the same law.

Since the Destiny Goddess has already controlled the [Power of Destiny/Fate], they could not do the same.

"What do we do now?" asked Yan Liling.

"Could we use Death Law to gather incense? After all, death is also a part of fate," commented Tie Gang. Everybody then looked at him. Their eyes seemed to be saying:

"Since when did you become so wise?"

"I resent your insinuations," he said. "Young Master Wang Wei once said to me that the final destination, the final fate of all mortal is death. So, I remember his words."

Everyone nodded their heads. These words were true as they did not only apply to mortals. In the cultivation world, technically speaking, all cultivators under the Emperor Realm is considered mortal and will one day die.

Although Tie Gang's idea was good, Li Jun still shook his head:

"Fate has to be the main Law we used to gather incense. Everything else has to be secondary."

All of them knew that Wang Wei needed the power of incense to break through the Primordial Spirit Realm. If the incense fits best with his Dao, there will be fewer complications and the success rate will also increase.

"Then, what should we do?"

"Let's just see if there is another way from the Death God's memory," replied Li Jun. "In the meantime, we will ask the Formation Masters to create a formation that could retain the incense in some way or form.

"And if that does not work, we have to kill or capture the Destiny Goddess at all cost."

Two weeks quickly passed by. A new formation was installed to solve the current problem, and the results were more than mediocre. The formation was able to gather some incense, however, the amount was pathetically small.

"How is it? Did you find another way from the Death God's soul?" asked Li Jun.

"No. Although I have found a few secrets of this world, there was nothing that could help with the situation."

"It's unfortunate. In that case, let's prepare to kill the Destiny Goddess. I will report to big brother."

After that, he teleported inside his space room which contained a small world. In one of the rooms, Li Jun came in front of a massive formation with so many runes that it made him dizzy just by looking at it.

He injected a token with his origin essence to activate the formation. More than an hour later, the face of a young and handsome man with grey hair and eyes appeared in front of Li Jun.

He could see from the background that that person was also in a small world inside a space ring.

"Big brother."

"Little Jun, how are things going? Did you add another member to your harem?" asked Wang Wei with a cunning smile.

"Since Yan Liling has not killed me yet, the answer is no," replied Li Jun a little speechless. He had long given up his womanizing way.

"Plus, just because I call you big brother, do not forget that I'm still older than you. Respect your elders."

Wang Wei laughed out loud after hearing this, then the two chatted about their lives before going into business. Li Lun explained the current situation and Wang Wei listened attentively.

"You and the others did well," nodded Wang Wei. "As for your current situation, it's best to be careful and use Fate Law as the main gathering of incense. However, you can still gather a small amount of Death Incense along with other ones.

"When I arrive, I can find a way to fuse them."

"Alright. How are things going on your side?"

"Boring and peaceful. All I do every day is refine pill and cultivate."

"That sounds like a haven for Liling. Don't forget to 'borrow' some pill recipe for her."

Wang Wei was once again speechless, wondering when this guy became as shameless as him. Then, they chatted briefly as the Trans-Planar Communication Formation burned too much money–especially after Li Jun discovered that it would cost even more because of this World's Crystal Wall.

After ending the communication, Li Jun went to deal with the Death God and the information gathered from his soul, while Wang Wei began to scheme.

Based on his recent analysis of the current situation, he realized that the fastest way to accomplish his goal is to increase his status in the sect. And the best way to do so is to rapidly increase both his cultivation level and Alchemy Level.

However, all of this rapid progress has to have a logical way to explain it, otherwise, people will become suspicious–especially given the level of talent previously displayed by Lou Cheng.

And what's the fastest and most reasonable way to increase cultivation level and Alchemy Tier?

Secret Realm: A secret realm with enough rare resources. At first, Wang Wei wanted to ask the sect to create such a secret realm and have someone accidentally discover it.

However, he did not want to use the resources of the sect for other people; that was too wasteful.

Plus, he needed a secret realm that was unique and appealing to even Emperor Lineages.

If this plan works, he can use the resources inside to quickly increase Lou Cheng's cultivation realm, while at the same time luring his third senior sister there as well.

Then, he will have a chance to uncover the secrets of the [Flame Controlling Art].

As Wang Wei began to think this through, he realized that there were even more benefits to this plan. For example, he can use this opportunity to lure the people in Fu Caiyun's side and kill them all.

Based on his experience in the sects in the past few months, he could already tell that this talented Alchemist would be a problem for his goal. So, eliminating him or weakening him is in his best interest.

Finally, he could use this opportunity to show Lou Cheng and him in the same place. Although no people would relate these two together, it was best to be careful.

Now, the issue is where will Wang Wei find such a secret realm. 

Suddenly, he remembered someone that could solve his problem and strong killing intent flashed across his eyes as he muttered:

"Liu Meixiu."
