Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1346  The Solution

After dismissing everybody, Wang Wei did not immediately leave. He had many things to do, but he needed to do things step by step, So he stayed for a few hours to review the detailed information gathered by the guard during his absence. He knew about the worldʼs current situation through the teamʼs meeting, but that was not enough; he needed to understand the nitty gritty.

Wang Wei put away the Information Talisman and frowned. ”As long as Supreme Unity has any form of autonomy, I canʼt even deal with these parasites.” He had many plans to deal with these people, but as long as that bastard was present, the chances of success were minor.

ʼMy ultimate goal is to remove his ability to make any moves on the board,ʼ Wang Wei thought. He refined the plan he came up with before contacting a few people. Wang Wei headed to another isolated dimension, and a few minutes later, the other Sages arrived — except for Pure Flame.

Wang Wei immediately noticed Feng Hengʼs arrival. Firstly, he expected the other Buddhist Sages to be with him, but he was alone. Second, his aura was slightly different from before.

”Second level Golden Body?” Wang Wei asked.

”Donor has sharp senses as always,” Feng Heng replied.

”But how is that possible? The rewards from the lower dimensions should still take some time — unless…” Everyone looked at Feng Heng.

”This world still has hope,” Feng Heng explained, his face and demeanor calm and peaceful. ”Heavenly Dao has rewarded this poor monk for benefitting mortalsʼ way of life.”

”Really? Good, good, good,” Wang Wei said, not hiding his excitement. Although Feng Heng was the only one among them who received merit for the Mortal Civilization, he and the others did not care. Instead, they value that the system is still working, which indicates that Heavenly Dao is still fighting and that their battle is not utterly hopeless.

”This is indeed excellent news,” Sage Lin Qi said.

”If you think about it carefully, he might be the only choice to receive the merit,” Emperor Kong suddenly said. Wang Weiʼs eyes lit up after hearing this. Kong was correct. Feng Heng became a medium for Maitreya to channel her power in the world, so Heavenly Dao took this opportunity to find allies.

”Feng Heng, by any chance, can you contact the Mother Buddha?” Wang Wei asked.

”Donor, Iʼm afraid youʼll be disappointed.”

Wang Wei sighed: ”Itʼs fine.” He did not have much expectations. ”Alright, letʼs get to business. I call you here to ask for help. Normally, I donʼt ask without reciprocation, but you guys understand the current situation.” Since the lock, many things that were once extremely valuable are no longer sought after. Even merit can no longer be acquired.

People could no longer cultivate, meaning these resources were less tempting to anyone. As for hoarding these resources for the future, no one knows whether the world has a future; even if it does, no one can predict how terrible it will be.

”There is no need to mention such a thing during dire times,” Sage Lin Qi said. He did not want anything except to expand his work, and the best way to proceed with it was for the world to return to normal and to have someone of sufficient power and background helping. Wang Wei was from the Dao Opening Sect, and if the latter was willing to give him some help, he could do so much more. If Sage Lin Qi could think in a more utilitarian manner, having Wang Weiʼs goodwill and even owning him a favor was way more valuable than any reward.

Feng Heng and Emperor Kong nodded. However, their mindsets were completely different. The former honestly did not care about rewards. After accomplishing his grand merit in the lower dimension, Feng Hengʼs state of mind sublimated; he no longer cared about the quarrels and disputes of the cultivation world. His only desire is to understand the Dharma and seek enlightenment. Everything he does is follow his heart and achieve that goal.

Meanwhile, Emperor Kong was the one who wanted a reward the most. After all, Feng Heng was from Buddhism, meaning he was rich, and Sage Lin Qi was a man of [Pure Heart], making his thinking less utilitarian. However, he had an academy to look after and people to feed. Of course, he was wise and understood the need to build good relations and connections. However, if it were up to him, he would love to have a reward and make connections.

”Iʼll keep todayʼs events in my heart,” Wang Wei said. He waved his hand to hand them a talisman. ”Consider this as a gift.” Everyone checked the content and was surprised by this Heaven Deception Array — this was indeed a gift, especially in these times of perils.

ʼI understand his charm,ʼ Emperor Kong thought. He understood what made Wang Wei so attractive. The latter is indeed cunning and will play with you as a toy if itʼs in his interest, but if you are his allies and are willing to work for him, he will not shy away from giving you benefits. Emperor Kong thought of all the things he could do with this array. There were many, but the most important one was to hide. Since his betrayal, the parasites have been searching for him relentlessly. Countless branches have been attacked and destroyed. Now, he finally had a way to hide without worry perfectly.

ʼNo, this is an opportunity,ʼ Emperor Kong thought. Once he can hide and project himself, he can send his people to recruit talented mortals worldwide. Although these people could not cultivate, he could seal them and wait for a later date. ʼThe current situation was perfect to recruit talents.ʼ

Sage Lin Qi calmly accepted this gift. With this array, he can protect many more mortals, and his people can better act behind the scenes. The greatest trouble his association often faced was how the rulers of certain territories refused to help or even hinder his work. This array can help him deal with this problem.

Feng Heng squinted his eyes. He knew this formation from the lower dimension and even paid the Heavenly Court to install one for him in the Buddhist Sect. Unfortunately, he had to sign a contract and agreed never to study it.

ʼSuch formation should be valuable to the Mother Buddha,ʼ he thought. According to his analysis, Buddhism or Taoism did not have such a formation, and there can only be one explanation: the two suns balanced each other to prevent the others from getting it. But now, he had an opportunity to share it with his side. ʼLetʼs try after returning.ʼ Feng Heng learned the formation and put it away. He glanced at Wang Wei and suddenly had a realization. The latter probably did this purposely to acquire Buddhismʼs support in his battle to remove the lock.

”Read It? Good. I need you to summon your [Sage Authority] once again to engrave this array into me.”

This was Wang Weiʼs objective — to hide himself better. After his retreat, he realized he might have to re-enter the paranoid state he was in during his Outlaw Trial. Supreme Unity was too powerful, and Wang Wei worried that his every move was under the latterʼs watch. So, he needed a way to move without being detected.

”No problem,” Emperor Kong responded. The process was smooth and easy. Although Wang Wei said he wanted them to engrave it on his body, this was not exactly correct since the thing was already engraved. He has been using it since he ascended to prevent people from finding him. The Sageʼs role was only to use their authority to bless the already existing formation and raise it to another level.

Everybody proceeded relatively smoothly, with the only problem being the resistance of mobilizing the Sageʼs Authority. Luckily, Heavenly Dao seems to have regained some strength, so the resistance was not as strong as before.

ʼIt should have no problem, right?ʼ Wang Wei thought. His future wife raised the Array to the peak of the Paragon Tier. With this boost and Heavenly Daoʼs protection, hiding from Supreme Unity should not be an issue — especially if he still has to focus on his battle with Maitreya.

Wang Wei sighed, not satisfied with the uncertainty. He no longer hesitated and secretly returned to the Origin Seal Continent to see his ancestor.

”Youʼre back, ”Yan Hai said. ”Did something happen?”

Wang Wei did not immediately answer. Instead, he spread his Heaven Deception Array throughout the room before putting thousands of sealing arrays.

”Is this necessary?” Yan Hai asked.

”Maybe, maybe not, but we can never be too careful.”

She shook her head and did not say anything else. She knew smart people were too easily become paranoid. He has seen Brother Qiyuan in this state countless times, many of which have saved their lives.

”Why are you here?” she asked.

”Ancestor, do you need to know where the seal for the Void Illusion World is?”

”Hmm? Why do you need to know this?”

”Because it may be the solution to my current problem.”
