Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 514 Perfect Foundation

After the meeting ended, Wang Wei took a few more minutes to talk to his team–especially Li Jun–to learn about his nephewʼs current status. After knowing the baby was fine since the sect used the best sealing method to protect it and the mother, Wang Wei felt relieved.

Finally, when he was alone, he took out his Chaos Treasure: the Oracle Mirror. He injected his Origin Essence to activate while focusing on Di Tian to label him as the primary target.

He focused on their karma–mainly because he almost killed him in the Heavenly Abode World. After a few minutes, Wang Wei frowned as he muttered: ”Only 50%? Thatʼs not nearly enough.”

He closed his eyes as much information appeared in his mind. Previously, he gathered some information from Di Tianʼs memory and knew he had lived for at least nine lives and fought in many different Heaven Will Battles.

But today, he finally experienced these battles through the mirror. He saw the latterʼs battle with his ancestor, the Qiyuan Emperor, and the Sword Empress. He even saw the latterʼs battle with the Absolute Beginning Emperor.

Additionally, Wang Wei learned some techniques that Di Tian used–even glimpsing at how he condensed his Cultivation Seed; this information might help him when he finally fused with his incarnations.

Lastly, Wang Wei learned some information about the Sleepers: how they were created and operated.

Wang Wei opened his eyes before muttering: ”This is not enough. There is too much I donʼt know.”

With the information he acquired, he has a better profile of Di Tian as a whole, but it was not nearly enough to plan how to defeat him. So, he needed to find ways to increase the Karmic Ties between them.

ʼI could kill his family,ʼ Wang Wei thought calmly. It would not be wise to start a war with the entire Di Clan. However, with the proper excuse and opportunity, killing Di Tianʼs parents is not a problem. The only issue is that his dad is the current patriarch, but Wang Wei could scheme his downfall to remove him from power.

After thinking about it for a moment, he shook his head and decided otherwise. It was not because of morality or something of the sort. Itʼs because he realized Di Tianʼs connection to his family might not be as significant as he thought.

To him, the Di Clan is probably only his protection in the early stages of his reincarnations. He might not even rely on them for his cultivation resources.

After living for so long, Wang Wei doubted Di Tian had any affection for his family. And since the latter has such a mastery of Karma, he might not have any bond or connection to the Di Clan whatsoever.

ʼBased on what I know about him, he should only care about two things: his wife and the Sleepers since they are individuals who probably know him from his first life.

ʼI could probably increase my Karmic Ties with him by systematically eradicating the Sleepers. However, the greatest increase would probably be with his wife.ʼ

Numerous thoughts flashed across Wang Weiʼs mind before deciding to visit her. Hopefully, she was still in that small sect in the Eastern Azure Dragon Continent.

So, after delegating some of his work, Wang Wei left the sect and opened a space tear to the Eastern Continent to meet Qiao Ning.

However, after landing not far from his destination, he suddenly stopped as he realized some things. First, he could not calculate this woman through the Karma he has with her.

After meeting twice, he should be able to use the Karmic Threads connecting them to find her. But he could not. Then, Wang Wei pondered deeply and realized some things.

As once a perfect being, or one close to it, she should have died in Di Tianʼs Outlaw Trial. By now, Wang Wei understood that ʼPerfection” was another taboo, so this fact should have boosted Di Tianʼs trial and made things a little more complicated–just like Wu Hongʼs existence and his Paragon Soul did for him.

And yet, despite this, she managed to survive the trial–even in the form of a ghost or spirit. No matter how he thought of the situation, he could not understand how she pulled off such a feat.

ʼThis woman is not simple,ʼ he thought. And after coming to this conclusion, he decided to discard whatever plan he had to meet her and return home. So, he turned around.

”Danm it,” Wang Wei said suddenly. ”You almost stopped my heart.”

”Is that so?” said Qiao Ning.

Wang Wei placed his right hand on his chest. ”Even with my powerful and sexy body, I canʼt withstand this kind of scare.”

”Youʼre quite humorous, arenʼt you?”

”Well, in my short life, I learned that humor is a great way to hide other emotions and get close to others. So, Lady Qiao, what do I owe this unexpected visit?”

”Arenʼt you the one looking for me? So, here I am.”

”I think youʼve made a mistake. I came here to personally check some information my subordinate had just received.”

Qiao Ning looked at him up and down. ”You truly resembled the old him: comical, confident, composed, and shameless to the core.”

”I am a man of many faces, so itʼs normal to resemble other people,” replied Wang Wei with a smile. ”But I guarantee you, I am unique.”

”Iʼm sure you are,” she replied before looking at the stars in the sky. For a brief moment, she seemed to have blended into the darkness of the night; she was one with the world.

Qiao Ning looked at Wang Wei and said: ”I know why youʼre here, and I can help you.”

”If thatʼs true, then you should understand why I would be prudent in receiving your help.”

”If it would help, you can ask me anything.”

”The main question is, why are you helping me, knowing it would be detrimental to your husband?”

Qiao Ning sighed heavily, ”The truth of the matter is Iʼm running away from something, from a truth.”

”And what would that be?”

”I fear that after he revives me and realizes that I am not the perfect creation he once fell in love with, he will not accept the outcome; he will not accept me. By then, what do you think he will do?”

”I want to say he would love and care for you because of his deep love for you that transcends time and reincarnation,” replied Wang Wei. ”However, Iʼm not so sure about this answer.”

”So am I,” replied Qiao Ning. ”And Iʼve been dreading the arrival of this day for many years.”

”But, what does this have to do with you helping me?”

”I am preparing for the future,” she replied. ”I will help you with two conditions: if you win the Heaven Will Battle, I want you to give him another chance at life. To be clear, Iʼm not asking you to go easy on him–not that you would have that luxury. Iʼm just asking you to allow him to enter reincarnation again.

”And if you lose, all you have to do is give him some ideas on how to revive me. Although these ideas will be useless, they can give him a sense of purpose and prevent him from descending into madness and despair.”

Wang Wei frowned after hearing her explanation: ”Arenʼt you looking at me a little too high?”

”No, I know you can do these things.”

”But, is your help truly worth all youʼre asking for?”

”I guarantee you that it will,” said Qiao Ning before condensing a crystal talisman with a wave of her hand. She then waved her hand to block the surrounding.

”This is all the knowledge I have on ”perfection.” One time, I had the idea of creating the Perfect Foundation. However, I failed because of my low cultivation level.

”Now, even to a talented individual such as yourself, this thing is not worth much since you have not seen the pinnacle of cultivation. However, in your wifeʼs hands, this thing is simply invaluable.”

As Wang Wei looked at the crystal, he could feel the massive karmic weight behind it. It was so poignant that even his Karma Unbound Physique could not help him reduce the weight.

At the same time, his intuition was going crazy, telling him to take it no matter what. It was so bad that it took a great deal of Willpower not to snatch this crystal like an alcoholic who started to exude withdrawal symptoms.

After calming down, Wang Wei thought of the pros and cons of doing so. Then, he accepted her help. The moment he took the crystal, he could feel his connection to Di Tian increase to 80%, but he did not care about this for now.

He bowed politely to Qiao Ning before rushing home and giving the crystal to Wu Hong, who was slightly surprised at how excited he seemed.

She used her Divine Sense to read the information in the crystal, and for a moment, Wu Hong had a blank look on her face.

ʼPerfect Foundation, the Foundation of Detachment, of Transcendence.ʼ

She could not help but think of the implication. Such a thing would benefit even her real body, let alone Wang Wei. So, she took a deep breath to calm down.

ʼHer direction is wrong, and many of her assumptions are also wrong. However, she has a lot of information about ”Perfection,” so I can succeed where she fails.

ʼThe problem is such a method would require a place where Great Dao cannot sense or does not have control to cultivate.ʼ

She could think of a few places such as this, but they were where she would not dare to go when she was a Boundless Paragon with 100% understanding of the Grand Dao Source.

Now is not time to ponder this issue,ʼ Wu Hong thought before focusing on Wang Wei.

”Did you tell anyone else about this?”

”No, I came directly to see you after she gave it to me.”

”Donʼt ever tell a second soul about this.”

”It is that serious?”

”Think of it that way. If your Paragon Soul will make you the enemy of all the Paragons of the Eternal Ascension World, this information is enough to make you an enemy to all Paragons, Fiendgods, Dao Monarchs, and Immortal Kings across all Chaos Worlds; in another world, the enemy of the entire Chaos Universe.

”These people will do anything to get this information.”
