Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Wang Wei sighed out loud after asking himself these questions. He knew that his path to be free and unfettered, to control his fate would not be an easy one.

Although he looked all-powerful on the outside, compared to what he wanted to achieve, he was nowhere close to accomplishing his goals.

So, he controlled his thoughts and focused on his current predicament. With Lou Cheng's Qi Luck, the few fortunate encounters may not be enough to accomplish goals this time,

So, he needed to do something else.

One option was to use his fortunate encounter to help Lou Cheng since he would not use most of them. Unfortunately, he did not want to use his luck to nourish Lou Cheng's.

Additionally, with his current strength, many opportunities that belong to him could not be acquired unless he used his own power in Lou Cheng's body.

With how many people entering the secret realm and how complex the forces here are, he did not want to take any risk by showing any odd behaviors. So, unless absolutely necessary, he will not use his power in Lou Cheng's body.

So, there was only one option left for him: steal other's people luck.

So, Wang Wei's eyes changed again and he began to look at the other Qi Luck Dragon of other people. With his expertise, he was able to distinguish the strength or cultivation realm of many people based on their Luck Dragon.

He focused on people in the Supernatural Realm and below whose dragon was active, meaning that they would soon encounter a fortunate encounter.

Wang Wei then swallowed a Top Earth Grade Face Changing Pill that he refined to change his appearance, along with an Invisible Pill of the same rank.

Once his preparations were finished, he began to secretly follow the people he selected, then at the right opportunity, he would sneak attack them and take their opportunity.

However, he did not kill all the people whom he stole luck from. Wang Wei knew that with how weak Lou Cheng was, stealing other people's luck would result in great Karma and he would eventually suffer from some form of backlash.

And killing these people would intensify this Karma Backlash.

According to Wang Wei's divination, this backlash would come in the form of his identity being "accidentally" revealed and countless people who he stole from starting to hunt him down.

Luckily for Lou Cheng, he was still blessed by the Origin Pill Dao Sect's luck which could withstand this backlash. As long as he quickly finds his Third Senior Sister and her group, the backlash will be dealt with.

Plus, with Wang Wei's current means, he can still suppress and delay the backlash until it is no longer a problem–at least for now.

As Wang Wei continued to steal other people's luck, he could see that Lou Cheng's Qi Luck Dragon was slowly transforming from orange to golden, but he did not care about it.

He can use this as an excuse to explain all the fortunate encounters he has if there need be.

While Wang Wei turned into a Luck Thief, Huo Fenghuang and the people following her did not go to the core area. Instead, they headed in their separate directions.

Holding a weird compass in her hand, Huo Fenghuang headed in the eastern direction of the secret realm. Soon, the group finds themselves traversing a vast frozen plain with nothing in sight.

At least, on the surface, it appeared as so.

The ground was as blue as the sky, stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles long. There were no animals and only a few trees that looked like well-made ice statues.

As soon as the group arrived in that area, they discovered that it was a No-Fly Zone with a powerful formation that could prevent any Supreme Realm True Monarchs from flying.

"Young Lady, do you want us to break the formation?" asked a middle-aged man with a robe; he was one of the four True Monarchs that followed Huo Fenghuang in the secret realm.

"How long will it take?" she asked back.

"With the four of us, quite some time."

"In that case, let's go on foot; it would be faster that way." She paused for a moment before continuing: "Go deal with the little rat following us."

One of the people following here then disappeared and reappeared a few minutes later.

"Done?"

"Yes, Young Lady."

Then the group of five ignored the little trouble and began their journey on this frozen tundra. The temperature was so low that even Void Shattering Cultivators would have a hard time in this environment–even with the protection of their laws.

However, Huo Fwnghuag was perfectly fine; she did not use any energy for spells to protect herself.

While using the compass for direction, the ground near her suddenly cracked open and a large white ant came from the ground; it was more than 50 meters in height and 70 meters in width.

And despite its large size, it was incredibly fast as it rushed towards Huo Fenghuang with the intent to kill, leaving countless shadows behind it.

Unfortunately, what the ant saw was not the fear and despair of seeing death approaching and being powerless to do anything about it. What he saw was a calm woman who looked at him with indifference like God looked at weak mortals.

Then, she gently flicked her finger, generating enough force to create a tornado. The force of the flick destroyed half of the ant's body, while the tornado blew it away a few dozen meters.

As the large ant laid in a pool of purple blood, all it could think about was why was this human more fiendish than it, a demonic beast. For a moment, he wondered whether he was the demon or she was.

Then, the ant breathed its last breath.

Huo Fenghuang looked at the ant and muttered: "If I remember correctly, isn't that an Earth Tundra Ant?"

"That's indeed so, young lady. Those things have been extinct since the Incense Era."

She nodded her head, not surprised by this fact. Finally, she ignored the corpse of this Tier 6 demonic beast as the group continued their trek. A few days later, after nonstop walking, they finally stopped.

In front of them was still the blue nothingness, however, the compass had dictated that they had arrived at their destination.

After finding the specific place, the four True Monarchs began to use their powers together. The power of law rippled from their bodies and it echoed in the void.

With time, a space channel slowly started to appear, so the four of them worked together to stabilize it. After everything was done, the four of them entered another small dimension inside the Secret Realm.

What they saw inside was nothing but a small lake with purple liquid inside. Huo Fenghuang's eyes lit up after seeing the liquid as she rushed in front of it and took a small sip.

A refreshing feeling overcame her body as she closed her eyes to feel the effect on her body.

"With all of this Innate Qi, I can make a breakthrough from the Bloodline Awakened Realm to the True Spirit Realm and cast a perfect foundation for the future."

As the heir to the Huo Ancient Aristocratic Clan, she did not cultivate the Origin System of Qiyuan Emperor, but the ancient cultivation technique created by the first Emperor of the Myriad Emperor World, the Heaven Opening Emperor.

The True Spirit Realm that she spoke of is the same as the Primordial Spirit Realm of the current system. Instead of creating a Primordial Spirit, the ancient cultivators created True Spirits.

As for the difference?

The ancient cultivating system was created after observing the bodies of Primordial Gods and Innate Demons. As such, it focused heavily on refining and tempering the body.

When it comes to the difference between True Spirit and Primordial Spirit, they served the same purpose of allowing cultivators to sense the law between Heaven and Earth to understand and eventually control them.

However, the Primordial Spirit is a separate entity from the body; it can exist without it. Even if a cultivator's body was destroyed, as long as their Primordial Spirit existed, they are still alive.

They can take over the body of someone else, or, if they have enough resources, they can recast their fleshly body.

When it comes to the True Spirit, it is fused with the cultivator's fleshly body and cannot be separated. As a result of this, the cultivators in that realm are hard to kill since as long as a drop of their blood still exists, they can revive themselves.

It is essentially the realm of Rebirth With A Single Drop Of Blood that Wang Wei will enter after refining his blood.

Of course, there is still a large difference. Most people in the True Spirit Realm require a tremendous amount of energy and resources to revive themselves, while Wang Wei could do so with the spiritual qi in the surrounding.

Additionally, ancient cultivators still have a specific number of times that they can die and revive, with the maximum being nine.. And only geniuses like Fenghuang can reach that level.
