Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 511: Karma and Causality

Wang Wei remembered that the cultivator who tested his talent looked at him with disdain and told him he did not have a Leakless Body, so he couldn’t walk the path of cultivation.

Thinking about the situation, Wang Wei did not know what to do. Since he reincarnated in this world, could he spend the rest of his life as an ordinary person?

Maybe he could use his knowledge from Earth to make a fortune in this ancient world. But it did not change the fact he would die after a few short decades. Not to mention that wealth had little value in this world.

At any point in his life, some cultivator could decide he did not like how he walked and decided to kill and destroy everything he values in this world. And he would be powerless to do anything.

‘No, no matter what, I must find a way to cultivate,’ thought Wang Wei as he decided. He wanted to know all the secrets of the world and reach the pinnacle of the cultivation world.

And if possible, he wanted to return to Earth and see his family again.

‘There must be some treasure that could change my fate and allow me to walk the path of cultivation.’

As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, a map suddenly appeared in Wang Wei’s mind with a green dot. He was first surprised before thinking about something:

“Is this my Golden Finger?” he muttered before checking the map and realizing it was deep inside the mountain near the village.

“Could this map show me what I desire? Then, are there ways for me to increase my strength?”

The map changed to display many dots with different intensities, making Wang Wei excited. With this ability, it was only a matter of time before he rose in the cultivation world and took a spot at the top.

So, he wanted to go collect these fortunate encounters immediately, but he quickly remembered that demonic beasts devoured this body’s parents. He would not survive long deep in the mountains with his thin arms and legs.

Then, he had an idea.

‘Map, can you show me the demonic beasts in the mountain?’

And as he expected, the map changed to show red dots all over the mountain, making Wang Wei almost die of a heart attack. He quickly changed the map to show both the demonic beasts and the fortunate encounters that could strengthen his body.

After comparison, he only found one place not protected by demonic beasts. So, Wang Wei realized it would not be easy to change his fate to walk the path of cultivation. So, he pondered whether there was an alternative solution.

‘I could become a wealthy man and hire low-level cultivators to fetch the things in the mountain for me?’

However, he quickly denied that idea. It would take him too long to gather mortal wealth and reach the point it could be exchanged for cultivation resources.

Additionally, he could not trust these cultivators to abide by the agreement and instead steal the things he wanted. He even did a few tests and asked his map what thing could make him rich.

The map showed him most of the things that could strengthen him. So, he guessed he could sell these fortunate encounters for wealth. Additionally, it showed him where some of the neighbors hid their money, along with a few buried treasured accounting for a few silver, which was relatively high for Wang Wei’s current situation.

Unfortunately, the other buried treasures were also deep in the mountain. Then, Wang Wei asked for something like a contract that could bind cultivators and not betray him.

Regrettably, the map showed him a blank page, so he guessed such a thing did not exist in the range current range of the map. Maybe in the future, when he becomes stronger, he can see all the fortunate encounters of the entire world.

As of now, the nearby mountain range was his limit.

Wang Wei sighed as he prepared to go into the mountains. He would first get the easy fortunate encounter to strengthen his strength. Then, he would find ways to deal with the demonic beasts.

Anyways, he did not have to defeat them head-on. He could use traps, poisons, or schemes to force them to fight each other.

Meanwhile, as Wang Wei watched his incarnation walk deep into the mountain with determination, he smiled.

He planned for most of his incarnations to have two things in common: their memories of the Dao Opening Sect will be temporarily sealed, and they will all have some form of misfortune curse placed on them.

As such, their cultivation paths will be full of danger: every step they take will be challenging, and they have to rely on their wit and intelligence to survive. Some of them will even have to start from a Low Thousand World and climb their way up to Great Thousand World.

Wang Wei did this to temper his state of mind, Willpower, and Dao Heart through these incarnations and to make up for the lack of experience he had compared to Di Tian.

Furthermore, they will not have a Leakless Body and must endure tremendous effort and hardship to reverse their fate. Wang Wei did this as a ceremony to use the Power of Fate to baptize these incarnations.

The incarnations will not get their memories back until they reach the peak of the Supreme Realm. So, he has planted spiritual hints inside their souls to tell them which Law to cultivate and give them some missions they have to accomplish.

He hesitated whether not to give them hints not to have relationships with other women. However, he soon realized Wu Hong would never believe his excuse that his actions were not technically cheating.

She can beat him if she feels like it or until he tells the truth. So, he can only apologize to these incarnations. Anyway, keeping their Primordial Yang intact for a million years is excellent for cultivation and body refining.

Finally, he hopped on his Golden Chariot to return home. Before leaving, he left some powerful puppets to protect this world from possible foreign invasions. He also had these puppets build Transplanar Teleportation Arrays, so he could instantly arrive in case something occurred.

Back home, Wang Wei went to see his family and friends before entering seclusion inside the Time Innate Treasure. First, he developed the Time Technique that would allow his Future Budda Self to bring back comprehension from the future.

After an unknown amount of time, he succeeded. With the Time Innate Treasure, he condensed a total of 108 Future Budda Self, and with this technique, one year of cultivation or comprehension for other people equaled 108 years for him.

And with more time and energy, he can condense more Future Buddha Selves and increase the number of years.

Afterward, Wang Wei took out the Karma Protection Lotus. While comprehending the Karma Laws inside, he also absorbed this Innate treasure to turn his Pseudo Karma Unbound Physique into a full one.

The lotus disappeared inside his body before Wang Wei opened his eyes. The Laws of Karma flashed across his body before they condensed into his Law Seed.

“So, there is a difference between Karma and Causality?” muttered Wang Wei as he remembered something he once read online back on Earth. It was the power of Causality Manipulation and Law Manipulation.

Causality Manipulation allows the user to manipulate the relationship between cause and effect and decide what happens to reality and what doesn’t. There is no need for an explanation.

At the highest level, Causality Manipulators have the power of Absolute Wishes where they can grant themselves or others any wishes they desire without consequences or any limit on the number of wishes.

Another advanced form is System Manipulation which allows them to control the very concept of logic itself.

As for Karma Manipulation, it mainly involves the individuals’ actions and the consequences of said actions. With this retreat, Wang Wei understood the subtle differences and connections between Karma and Causality.

“Causality Manipulation is one of the ways fate can control all the other Daos,” muttered Wang Wei, thinking about how powerful he will be when he can bend all reality to his will through the Dao of Fate or Causality Manipulation.

However, he quickly removed these ideas from his mind as he was too far away from this kind of power. He focused on his current change.

He felt an invisible aura protecting him from all types of Karma. From now on, 95% of all forms of Karma will not affect him. As for the remaining 5%, his Karma Unbound Physique will drastically reduce the bing it has on him.

Furthermore, Wang Wei could feel it became easier to understand Karmic Laws, and he knew it would be easier to cut off people’s Karma for them after he proved the Dao.

With this accomplishment, Wang Wei felt he took a small step forward toward his goal of attaining ultimate freedom.

Nevertheless, he did not immediately leave his retreat. Instead, he took advantage of the time dilation to comprehend all the laws he needed for his Incarnations.

Once he finished, Wang Wei immediately entered the Law Foundation Stage of the Void Shattering Realm. In this stage, he has to choose his primary Law or Dao. However, now was not the time, so he exited his retreat.
