Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Wang Wei frowned after discovering these Sleepers as he wondered how deep they infiltrated the sect. If even the Sleeping Ancestors have members of them, then this will become a big deal. And if those sleepers have also infiltrated other sects, well, Wang Wei cannot imagine how powerful their information-gathering abilities are.

More ever, he wondered how powerful Di Tian used to be able to reincarnate so many people at the same time; this is not something an ordinary Supreme Realm powerhouse can do.

After making his discovery, Wang Wei called his father and grandfather, then told them of the situation.

Wang Tian frowned deeply before asking: ”Can you find the ones in the upper echelons of the sect?”

”Without the power of the Law, I can only identify the ones that have strange Fate Lines without being backlash. However, if they do not resist, it will be much easier.”

”In that case, I ordered them not to resist,” said Wang Chang. ”I can talk to the Supreme Elders.”

”The only issue now is whether any of our Immortal Venerables or Dao Ancestors have been affected,” said Wang Tian.

”I donʼt think we should worry about that. To become a Dao Ancestor or Immortal Venerable, the help of a Great Emperor is needed. Even if these Sleepers have the ability to hide from Emperors, it should not be possible when they are so closely involved,” added Wang Chang.

”In that case, letʼs begin the clean-up.”

”Wouldnʼt it be better to just monitor these people and try to feed them false information?” said Wang Wei.

”In normal circumstances, that would be ideal. However, if what you said is true, there is a high chance that our sectʼs Emperor Scriptures have been leaked. So, we need a safer approach to this situation.”

Soon after that, a cleansing took place in the Dao Opening Sect. All Sectʼs Deacons, Elders, Great Elders, and Supreme Elders were called in and ordered not to resist Wang Weiʼs probe in their Fate Lines.

And those who resisted were immediately arrested. This cleansing did not stop there. All the Wang, Yan, and Li clan members were also searched, along with all the disciples.

And for the first time, Wang Wei entered the Secret World where the reserved members of the other families were located; it was then he finally understood how large the clan actually were--especially the Wang family. The ones still remaining in the Myriad Emperor Word are only the tip of the iceberg.

And the cleansing did not stop there. Wang Tian and Wang Chang even brought Wang Wei to the Sealing Hall of the sect, thus showing the true foundation of the Sect.

And he was truly shocked.

Inside a darkly lit room, he saw countless coffins, and after checking their auras, he could not hide the surprise in his face. Wang Wei swore in his life that he had never seen so many Supreme Realm and Saint Powerhouses; it was enough to form an army of millions.

However, he soon learned that many of these people have been sealed for countless millennia and their lifeforce and blood energy have been exhausted; they will only wake up if the sect faces an extinction-level catastrophe, and they will die after that.

So, he started checking these people. Since they were sealed, their resistance was minimal to non-existent. After identifying the ones who had problems, they were taken out for interrogation.

Tianwei Peak:

Wang Wei, Wang Chang, and Wang Tian were having another meeting; this time, they were accompanied by Great Elder Yan Mei and Great Elder Li Jiang--who were the patriarch of their respective clan. After being cleared of any suspicions, they were allowed to participate in the investigation.

”So, what was the result?” asked Wang Wei.

Wang Tian sighed deeply, ”Not as good as we expected. All these people committed suicide once we try to search their souls. Whatʼs worse, is that they completely destroyed their souls to the point of not even being able to reincarnate.”

”The level of loyalty that they showed is truly scary. Not one of them hesitated to commit suicide,” added Li Jiang.

Wang Wei frowned as all their actions proved futile. No information was gathered by this cleansing. They did not even know for a certainty whether the leader of these people was indeed Di Tian; it was just his guess and intuition.

”How about our losses?” asked Wang Wei after regaining his thought.

”Not as much as expected,” replied Yan Mei. ”However, according to our statistics, the majority of people caught were in fact members of the Sectarian side, so theyʼre the ones who suffered the most.

As a matter, the number of people in our families who were reincarnated was very small.”

”Is there a reason for that?”

Everyone shook their heads. After pondering for a while, Wang Wei asked Great Elder Yan Mei to show him the list of the Sleepers caught.

”Weiʼer, did you think of something?” asked Wang Tian.

After a quick scan of the lost, he replied: ”Yes. The number of people reincarnated from the Wang and Yan clan is the least of all the groups.”

All these people in the room are some of the most talented and gifted members of the sect in the past three generations, so they quickly understood his meaning.

”Eternal Emperors?” asked Yan Mei.

”Thatʼs right,” replied Wang Wei. ”According to the information we have, Di Tian existed during the Emperor Beginning Era. If he created these Sleepers and has them reincarnated since that time, there is a chance that the Qiyuan Emperor and the Sword Empress--two Eternal Emperors of our sect--to notice something and take precautions.”

The people nodded, however, this information did not change much. Since there were still Sleepers among these two clans, this showed that either Wang Weiʼs theory is wrong, or the leader of this group found a way to bypass the preventive measures that the two Eternal Emperors placed on their families.

”What we have to worry about now is how to appease the Sectarian Faction,” said Wang Tian. ”In recent years, we have finally achieved a certain level of unity. This recent cleansing might affect that.”

Indeed, given how they suffered the most loss, even the Sectarian Faction understood the situation, they might still be secretly resentful.

”We can bind together and divide them some of the resources that are only privy to our clans?” suggested Li Jiang.

”Although that might temporarily calm them down, it should not be enough to have them 100% support us as they did in the past few hundred years,” rebutted Yan Mei.

”Indeed, the remuneration should be worth all their loss,” said Wang Tian.

”Just offer them another Dao Ancestor spot for when Weiʼer becomes Emperor,” suddenly said Wang Chang.

Everyoneʼs eyes light up after hearing this as this was the perfect remuneration. They did not need to give any resources, just a promise. Furthermore, Wang Wei was the one who would pay in the end.

Meanwhile, the person that just received another Karmic Debt was speechless. So, Wang Wei secretly cursed these old foxes after figuring out their plans--especially his grandfather. Although he looked like a brute that only used his fist, he was the most cunning of all of them. What made Wang Wei even madder was that he did not even know how he would help these people become Dao Ancestors.

So, he decided to take this opportunity to ask. Unfortunately, before he could open his mouth, his grandfather said: ”You donʼt need to ask. When you are eligible to know, I will be more than glad to tell you.”

Wang Wei then gave a fierce look. Unfortunately for him, he was ignored. So, Wang Wei secretly sighed. During times like this, he wished his paternal grandmother was still alive. That way, he could use the same method he used to deal with his father to deal with his grandmother.

Without anyone to check and balance him, the old man can do whatever he wants. Wang Wei knows that if he gets on his grandfatherʼs bad side, the latter will not hesitate to beat him up, and even his mother would not be able to save him.

After Wang Changʼs proposition, the group started to discuss how to deal with the aftermath of this event. However, midway through, the Shadow appeared behind Wang Tian and said something to him that made him frown a little.

”Is there a problem?”

”The people of the Five Element Palace came for an official visit; they even brought Zhen Biyu with them.”

Everyone raised an eyebrow as they instantly realized that this visit might not be a normal one.
