Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 914 Source Qi Space

"What will you do with me?" asked Old Man Tianji.

"What exactly do you mean?"

"I cannot nor do I want to be Heavenly Dao forever. So, what fate awaits me?"

"Why do I feel like you're in a hurry? Even if you want to retire, you can't do it in the next few generations."

"Since you're the first Heavenly Emperor, you should set precedents and prepare for everything. After all, you don't want any of your successors to ruin your legacy," replied Old Man Tianji.

Wang Wei paused and looked at this man up and down: "Most people will kill to be in your position. Why are you in a hurry?"

Being a container of Heavenly Dao is an alternative form of [Immortality], so Wang Wei knew how many people would kill to be in Old Man Tianji's position–even if they are restricted and lose their emotions.

"I agree to your request because it was the only way I could think of to continue my Heaven Dao. However, I have no desire to be stuck in this position for eternity," replied the elderly man without hiding the truth.

"Do you want to create an alternate method of Immortality?" asked Wang Wei.

"Yes. According to my idea, people can inherit my position and serve the court. In return, the reward would be a form of immortality after their terms end."

Wang Wei nodded his head as he remembered the Nine Devil God World. He did not expect Old Man Tianji to remain in his position forever; however, he also overlooked the possibility that his job was similar to the God Position.

"That's not a bad idea," he responded. "The presiding Heavenly Emperor will choose someone to inherit your position whenever you retire."

It will be a while before the old man can leave, so Wang Wei does not know the exact generation. So, such a job was left for future generations.

"That's fine. However, you should be careful when picking my successor."

"Of course I will. You can also give me some requirements to ensure no problems."

Only some people can bear the power of Heavenly Dao without any problem. People need strength, a firm Dao Heart and a profound state of mind to succeed. The position is very repulsive to people with ulterior motives.

Heavenly Dao cannot gain sentience because of the Sword Empress.

So, people who think they can use their power for selfish reasons will have their souls and minds obliterated after the fusion.

The two chatted for a few more minutes, designing a special trial to choose the next Heavenly Dao Vessel.

"How about my successor inheriting my name [Tianji]?"

Wang Wei squinted his eyes after hearing this. "Are there any secrets behind this name?"

"There are probably some."

"Why the uncertainty?"

"My inheritance is a unique one. Every generation's successor will inherit the name [Tianji]. In the past, many of our successors originated from the Heaven Mystery Pavilion."

"That would explain why they thrive in the divination department for so long."

Wang Wei previously had a decent relationship with the Heaven Mystery Pavilion after borrowing their 8-Trigram Turtle Shell to boost his divination and create his Heavenly Physique. However, after they gave his information to Di Tian and almost killed him, he did not associate with them.

Wang Wei knew they had no choice. After all, Di Tian was the one asking. With their weak strength, how could they refuse a request from the future patriarch of the Di Clan?

However, Wang Wei also knew they could have contacted him and dealt with the issue. With the Dao Opening Sect, how dare the Di clan do anything to them?

Alas, the Heaven Mystery Pavilion was used to remaining neutral, surviving in the cracks between powers. So, they gave away the information.

Ultimately, Wang Wei no longer considered repaying the karma he owed them for borrowing the 8-Trigram Turtle Shell. After the thing was useless to him, he returned it and had no connections with the pavilion.

"Do you know any more information about the name [Tianji]?"

"I only know the inheritance involved divination and secrets of Heaven and Earth. As for others, I don't know much."

"How long have they existed? Have there been any Great

Emperors?"

"Old Man Tianji frowned after hearing this question; it seemed it was hard for him to know the answer to these questions.

"No Emperor and our inheritance appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the Ancient Emperor Era."

Wang Wei could tell he was telling the truth. The most interesting thing about this conversation is he could not divine any information about the name [Tianji]. He sensed an information blockade about the name, meaning even members of the sect do not know much about their lineage, nor is it easy to reveal.

'I have never heard of the name Tianji, nor has the sect.

Furthermore, even the Sleepers have no information.'

Wang Wei internally sucked his tooth; this world has so many mysteries that now only showed the tip of the iceberg. First was a Watcher Sect, and now, he met a secret divination lineage named [Tianji].

"Well, that's fine." He knew he had to take his time to unravel some of these secrets. As such, he was not in a hurry. He soon ended his conversation with Old Man Tianji; the latter could not retain his consciousness for long.

Heavenly Dao had to remain in control the majority of the time.

However, in this brief conversation, Wang Wei benefited immensely.

He saw a way forward to create the Heavenly Dao Control in his Force Control Skill.

Now that he knows of the existence of the Source Technique and its importance, he will take great care of this technique since its potential did not end after entering the Empyrean Realm. If done successfully, it could even be useful in the Paragon Realm.

After leaving the meeting room, Wang Wei directly entered the Source Qi Space. The place still resembled a world of blue; however, Wang Wei did not see endless mountains.

Instead, he found himself floating above an ocean or lake.

'My lifespan is not rapidly passing away,' commented Wang Wei, noticing the obvious difference since the last time he came. Now he had an [Immortal Essence], the environment could no longer immediately kill him or rapidly eat away his life span.

Wang Wei observed the pool of water underneath him and

immediately noticed the immense energy contained. He waved his hand to control a drop of liquid. Without hesitation, he swallowed.

"This is not water, but energy so concentrated that it turned into water."

However, Wang Weid did not finish the sentence when the lake reacted violently.

Boom!

A terrifying Energy Explosion enveloped Wang Wei and the surrounding. At the center of everything, the perfectly intact floated with a calm expression.

"So volatile," he commented. He only took one drop, and the lake reacted in such a fierce manner. Moreover, the explosion was on par with a peak Second-Class Emperor.

"If everywhere is this volatile, it would explain why more people have not made the Source Qi Space their living habitat."

Such a large quantity of Qi is useful even for Emperors, and Wang Wei believed there should be places where the energy is useful for Paragons. Unfortunately, this place's operation made it extremely difficult to live long-term.

'Man will conquer nature. So, I'm sure the upper dimension has developed the technology to change the environment to be habitable for cultivators.'

Wang Wei looked in the distance as the power of fate flashed in his eyes.

'As expected, even divination is not as smooth as usual.'

The Path of Qi has its own advantage. Although it is the worst of the main three parts, it does not mean it is useless. As long as the Qi is large, pure, and of a certain quality, it can be used to deal with Paragons.

'Furthermore, this environment is perfect for them.'

In the Source Qi Space, it's much easier for Immortal Venerables, Immortal Sovereigns, and Immortal Kings to become Insurgents.

The environment provides an extreme advantage.

Wang Wei finished his divination while thinking about these things.

Then, he opened a portal to travel to the location he discovered.

However, the subtle space fluctuation released by his action created an Energy Catastrophe everywhere.

If not for his strength, he would have turned into minced meat.

'Can't believe I came here when I was mortal,' thought Wang Wei.

After he first condensed his Qi Flower, he accidentally entered this place. If not for Ancestor Wucheng pulling him out, he could guess what fate awaited him.

"I should drink with that old guy after I'm done."

Wang Wei looked at the place he arrived at. He saw a pure blue planet before him. There was no life on the planet or any topographies like mountains. The best way to explain this thing was a sphere the size of a planetary body.

"Immortal Qi," muttered Wang Wei. "This is enough to refine 3 Immortal Mansions with 9-Leaf Purity Qi."

If he reduced the purity, he could create more mansions, but he felt it was not worth it. Currently, the sect needs quality over quantity.
