Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Sect Master Wang Tian ponders the meaning behind Great Elder Yan Meiʼs word. He realizes that she is probably right about receiving merit for being the first person to break through to Supreme.

Wang Tian says to the other elders: ”In that case, we need to properly monitor all the major sects in the world. Even the powerful and talented loose cultivator should not be missed. After all, we are not the only people who will notice this change.”

The Elders nod in agreement then they all look at a person in the corner. The person sits alone without speaking a word. He did not have any presence, any sense of existence: it is as if the person never existed in the world.

The only time he is noticed is when you look directly at him. As soon as you look away, you will immediately forget his face and all the memories about him. Only people with powerful cultivation level and keen perception can notice him, and that is only when he is not actively hiding his presence, otherwise only a few handful of people in this room would notice him.

This person is known as Shadow. He is the person responsible for acquiring information, analysis, and assassination for the Dao Opening Sect. He is only loyal and responds to the Sect Master.

In fact, every generation of the Dao Opening Sect Master will cultivate their own spy agency and their own Shadow at an early age. When they take over the position of Sect Master, the previous ruler will hand over the majority of the spy agency and the Shadow will change to the person trained by the current sect master.

In that way, the foundation of the Dao Opening Sect will increase with each passing generation. Because of such rule, many of the Contemporary Sacred Sons have their own information agency, and this is also the reason that Wang Wei has his own agency trained by the Wang Family and is currently his Head Maid.

After everyone look at him, the Shadow look at Wang Tian and when he see that he nods his head, he says in a hoarse and illusory voice: ”I will dispatch the Shadow Guard and monitors whether any Saint is going to experience Mortal Dust or whether they are prepare to directly break through.”

After giving a positive answer, the Shadow closes his eyes and refuses to say any other word. The Elders did not find his action offensive as they are used to his behavior after spending many years dealing with him.

Afterward, the meeting continues until late at night and then everyone disperses and returns to their own Hall.

After the meeting, Wang Tian leaves Tianwei Peak and returns to the Wang Familyʼs exclusive mountain. Since his lovely son was born, he no longer lives in the Sect Master Hall as the spiritual energy in there was too strong for his mortal son to live for too long.

Itʼs true that the concentration of spiritual energy is very beneficial to increasing talent and nourishing the body to set a good foundation, but too much spiritual energy is also very detrimental to weak cultivators, let alone mortal infants.

After returning to his mansion, Wang Tian discovers that his father was standing there and waiting for him.

He immediately rushes over and bows to his father and says: ”Father, Son is unfilial to make you wait for so long.”

Wang Tianʼs father, Wang Chang, waves his hand and leisurely responds: ”Get up. How old are you, you do not have to keep these formalities--especially in private.”

Wang Tian smiles wryly. His father is a person who despises formality and scoffs at tradition; in other words, he is extremely unruly.

”Where is Weiʼer and Yu Yan?” he asks.

”My lovely grandson was tired from the trial and Yu Yan just fed him some pill to relieve spiritual and physical fatigue, He is probably deep in sleep by now.”

”Thatʼs fine if he is asleep. So father, what brings you out of the Cottage?”

Wang Chang looks at his son up and down, then proceeds: ”You should have noticed the change in Heaven and Earth. Are you prepared to break through to the Supreme Realm?”

”Yes father, once the seal is further loosen, I will go experience Mortal Dust to further strengthen my foundation, then break through.”

”Thatʼs good that you are willing to strengthen your foundation.” Wang Chang then looks at his son with a look of pity, then continues: ”I know you have a lot of unwillingness in your heart because you did not have the chance to compete for the Heaven Mandate. Unfortunately, Heaven is truly unreasonably unfair.”

Wang Tian sighs and mockingly answers: ” Itʼs just like Weiʼer always say, Fate is the greatest mockery for us cultivators.”

”I did not tell you all of this just to listen to you lamenting your own misfortune. I come to remind you that you still have a chance to achieve your dream of competing for the Heaven Mandate. As long as Weiʼer can Prove the Dao, he could still provide you with another chance.”

After hearing his fatherʼs words, Wang Tian immediately understood his fatherʼs meaning and said excitedly: ”How come I forget this truth. As long as Weiʼer becomes Emperor, he can still wash off the karma in my body so that I can compete in the next generationʼs fight for the Heaven Mandate”.

Wang Tian is indeed excited. In the last generation, he was one if not the most powerful Heaven Chosen. He was born with the Exquisite Sword Heart Physique ranked 15 in the 3000 Heaven Physique List.

He has practiced Sword Dao to an extremely high realm and overwhelmed the majority of his peers. Cultivators all over the world voted him as the person who is most likely to win the Heaven Mandate.

Unfortunately, when he reached the Peak in the Saint Realm, he learned that there will be no Heaven Will this generation.

What was more tragic was the fact that even the Path of Supreme was also cut off and sealed. Their generation wailed in agony and screamed that Heaven was unfair.

According to the rule of Heavenly Dao, no person from the previous generation can compete for the Heaven Mandate in the next generation. As such, the goals and dreams of many people were completely shattered.

There is only one way to go around this rule: wash away your karma.

In order to wash away karma, there are only two ways: one is to seal a person in Blood Stones or Time Stones and allow them to sleep for millions of years and live through countless generations. Then, they can wake up, free from karmic ties and participate in the fight for the Heavenʼs Will.

In fact many sects have many Heaven Chosens from the previous era that are currently still sealed and awaiting awakening, and the Dao Opening Sec is of no exception.

The other way to wash away karma is to have a Great Emperor to directly take action. This method is direct and immediately effective. However, such a method will result in the Emperor suffering from Karmic Backlash. As such, if an Emperor is not powerful or if you are not really close to them, they will not use such methods lightly.

.. .

After taking a deep breath and calming himself down, Wang Tian says to his father: ”Father, not just me, even you have a chance at a second attempt.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Changʼs face remains calm and answers with a look of sadness: ”Itʼs true. Unfortunately, after my defeat to Yang Chen, no I mean Emperor Nine Suns, my Dao Heart was affected and my will to fight was long lost. There is no future for me as an Emperor.”

”Furthermore, it wonʼt be long before my lifespan will approach itʼs end and I have to be sealed with Blood Stone and become a foundation that protects the sect from future trouble.”

After Wang Changʼs words, a profound sadness envelops the room. Wang Tian knew that his father had suffered a great mental blow during his fight for Heaven Will three generations ago.

Furthermore, his fatherʼs age was long past the limit of a million years for the Supreme Realm.

Of course, due to how powerful his cultivation method is, his lifespan was way longer than ordinary Supreme Realm powerhouse. However, he will have to face the issue of lifespan sooner or later.

Suddenly an idea appears in Wang Tianʼs head and responds: ”Father, as long as Weiʼer succeed in sitting on the Emperor Throne, you could still walk on the Path of Immortality, or even better the Path of Dao Ancestor.”
