Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

”Itʼs indeed a natural formation,” said Yan Chen. ”Young Master, do you have some ideas?”

Wang Wei nodded his head as he continued to ponder. As the name implied, natural formations are formations formed naturally by nature; they are usually found in landscapes like mountains, rivers, and forests.

From what he knows, natural formations were more common during the Ancient Emperor Era; to be specific, after the Null Era and before the Ancient Emperor Era began.

In an attempt to rebuild the civilization of the Myriad Emperor World, many of the early cultivators studied natural formation; this was how the profession of Formation Master began.

Heaven and Earth was the teacher of these cultivations.

Moreover, there are rumors that natural formations are Innate Formations whose Innate laws have been removed by either someone else or because of the passage of time.

After seeing the natural formation, Wang Wei immediately changed his plans to use brute force to rush up this mountain. Anyway, the Dao Opening Sect was just going to put on a charade waiting for Liu Meixiu.

Now, he discovered a perfect excuse, while still benefiting from it.

So, he sat cross-legged in front of one of the formations, looked at it closely, and began to understand it. A few minutes later, he finished his calculations and took a few formation flags.

He looked at the circles with countless runes inside of them before placing the flags in very specific places of the formation circle, then he used his origin essence to activate them.

The places he placed the flags shined for a moment before cracks started to appear in the runes inside the circle. A few seconds later, the formation broke into thousands of motes of lights; Wang Wei managed to break it without using brute force.

Finally, Wang Weiʼs clone along with the other Supreme Elders took a few steps up the mountain before encountering another formation circle made of completely different runes. He did the same thing again; understood the formation before finding its flaws to break it.

In the process, Wang Weiʼs understanding of runes and formations began to rapidly increase.

Ever since he infiltrated the Origin Pill Dao Sect, he has taken a new interest in Professions like Alchemy and Formation. He decided to take this time to increase his ability in these professions–especially when it comes to studying divine runes.

Wu Hong once gave him the [Empress Wu Sealing Sutra]. The early and middle stages of this technique require a deep foundation for the understanding of runes.

And even in the late stages, some powerful sealing techniques require deep knowledge of the subject. Because of this, Wu Hong has very high attainment in all professions, especially in Formation and Talisman Making.

After seeing what Wang Wei was doing, Supreme Elder Li Fen–who cultivated the Dao of Formation–also began to learn from this formation. The process of finding the flaws and breaking through these formations was even faster than him.

After all, she is a Supreme Realm powerhouse that spent most of her life studying formations.

A few other people also wanted to try this method after seeing this. However, they soon realized that it would be faster to use brute force to break these formations.

Since they were in a hurry and wanted to reach the core before Liu Meixiu and reaped the benefit, these people went for the faster way. Some clever people immediately took notice of the nonchalant attitude regarding the core of this Secret Realm.

”Young master, what do you think?” asked the True Monarch from the Sword Casting Villa.

”The behavior of the people from the Dao Opening Sect has been weird ever since news of the secret realm was released. Knowing Wang Wei, he must be planning something,” replied Jian Wushuang.

”Then, what should we do?”

After thinking for a few seconds, he replied: ”At this stage, we do not have much information, so there is little we can do. Plus, we cannot diverge our strength to follow their example.

”So, ask the Villa Master to send a group of Saints and below who specialized in formations to come to the secret realm. They can benefit from this natural formation and keep an eye on the Dao Opening Sectʼs people.”

…

In the outer area of this Secret Realm, Wang Weiʼs real body descended the boat with his senior sister and brother. All of them found themselves on a small hill full of luscious grass.

”Junior brother, do you want to travel with us or go on your own? If you go with us, it would be safer,” asked Lan Ling.

”Thanks for the offer, senior sister. But I want to find my own fortunate encounter,” replied Wang Wei. ”Plus, as a man, how can I rely on a woman.”

As he said this, his eyes were directly staring at Wan Luo, an act which made the latterʼs mouth twitch slightly.

He understood his junior brotherʼs implication. Since a weak Supernatural Realm like himself dare to venture alone in this secret realm alone, why canʼt he, the senior brother, dare not?

This way, Wan Luo cannot be shameless and use some excuses to be with Lan Ling throughout the secret realm.

ʼSince when is Lou Cheng so cunning?ʼ thought Wan Luo.

Meanwhile, as Lan Ling watched Lou Cheng leave, a small and unnoticeable smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

”Lou Cheng, Lou Cheng, donʼt say that Iʼve wronged you. With me here, you can be relieved that your senior brother will never have his chance at your crush.

”As for whether the two of you can be together, letʼs look at your fate.”

While muttering these words, Wang Wei rushed in a few kilometers away from the group before stopping.

”The issue of reading Lan Lingʼs Fate Line and discovering the secret of the [Flame Controlling Art can be left for later. Right now, I need to find enough resources or fortunate encounters to rapidly increase my strength and status in front of my cheap master.

”That way, my chances of getting the [Origin Pill Flame Scripture].”

Wang Weiʼs eyes suddenly changed and he saw an orange Dragon on top of his head: Lou Chengʼs Qi Luck Dragon. He then used a secret technique created by him, making him connected to the dragon.

Through its eyes, he saw 15 purple lights scattered in different directions of the secret realm. Immediately, a frown appeared on Wang Weiʼs face.

”15 Fortunate Encounters? Thatʼs it?”

He immediately changed to his Qi Luck Dragon and saw more than a hundred purple lights, with a few one who flickers on and off.

In this secret realm, Lou Cheng has 15 opportunities that belong to him. He does not need to do anything, he will eventually find these encounters and benefit from them.

As for Wang Wei, he has more than a hundred of themʼ more than a hundred opportunities are waiting for him, and without much effort, just by randomly walking in this secret realm, he can discover them.

As for the flickering ones, they are fortunate encounters that require him to compete and use his own strength to acquire them.

After seeing the vast difference between him and Lou Cheng, he understood the reason.

As a Heaven Chosen born in the most powerful sect of this world, he is naturally blessed by luck. And with the Qi Luck Trial, his luck has reached an unimaginable height, probably slightly inferior to a Child of Destiny.

With Wang Weiʼs luck, as long as he leaves the sect, he will have countless fortunate encounters. Unfortunately, most of these encounters are at the level of Supreme Realm and have no great significance to him.

They are just slight embellishment to his wealth, and cannot greatly contribute to increasing in strength.

Because of this, Heaven Chosens with high status like him with high status use secret techniques to condense their luck and keep it from overflowing. After all, every encounter will slightly decrease their luck.

Itʼs better to keep the luck for fortunate encounters at the level of Great Emperor, Innate, or Unique encounters that are rare. Plus, another advantage of condensing their luck is that their cultivation will be faster and it becomes easier to break through cultivation bottlenecks.

Compare with people with high luck and who do not know how to condense it, these Heaven Chosens have the advantage.

After seeing how weak Lou Chengʼs luck was compared to his, Wang Wei sighed deeply:

”Many people say that Heaven is fair, but is that truly the case? Some people are destined to be extraordinary the moment they are born. Some peopleʼs starting point is the end of many. So, where is the fairness?

”Fate determines a lot about people from the moment they are born. Cultivating is a process of defying the heavens and slowly taking control of their own fates. But, is that truly the case? Could fate be so easily be defied?

”With how encompassing Fate is, how would one know that if our so-called ʼdefying fateʼ is not part of its machination? How would we know that our so-called ʼfree willʼ is nothing but an illusion?”
