Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1348  The First Flaw

Wang Wei teleported to a unique area called the Non-Causality Heaven. As the name implies, it is a place where karma and causality are in chaos. Itʼs one of the best hiding areas in the world, along with the Lawless Zone. Wang Wei looked at this place that appeared only red in his vision. ʼThis place is worthy of being called the heaven and hell of karma masters,ʼ Wang Wei thought. In his eyes, this place was composed entirely of karma threads, making it the best place to cultivate Karma Dao. However, itʼs also the worst place to try to use Karma Dao — if youʼre not skilled.

Wang Wei searched the area with his terrifying soul, trying to find the best place for his following action. He soon discovered a towering mountain the size of a planet and teleported to the top. He frowned because someone was already there but could not find it.

ʼAnother Karma Master? And that aura — heʼs a Dao Lord,ʼ Wang Wei, immediately raising his guard. However, the other person behaved strangely. He looked at Wang Wei briefly before continuing to do his thing. The man was not on guard, and the surroundings had no array of techniques. On top of everything else, this personʼs body and movement were full of flaws, as if he was a person who had never trained in combat in his entire life. The person was so vulnerable that it made Wang Wei suspicious, so he raised his alert level again.

He observed the person closely before shaking his head. He also felt stupid for being so alarmed. Wang Wei sighed and muttered: ”Sometimes, itʼs a sin to be too smart.” The person was not a threat because he was basically no longer alive.

This Dao Lord was too smart and tried to absorb this area to raise his cultivation. Wang Wei could guess what the latter was thinking. By using this space to enter the Paragon Realm, he can use the Non-Causality Effect to hide himself from the parasites and even the two suns, thus achieving the great feat of becoming a Paragon in this era.

Unfortunately for him, he overestimated himself. Instead of swallowing the Non-Causality Heaven, he was absorbed and became a unique existence called a Karma Puppet.

ʼThis guy is the perfect material to further elevate my Karma Unbound Physique,ʼ Wang Wei thought with shining eyes. ”But.” He raised his hand to create a red thread targeting the young man. As expected, countless threads came to offset his attempt.

ʼHeʼs now a part of the environment, so taking him would mean taking a piece of the Non-Causality Heaven,ʼ Wang Wei analyzed. ʼThis will take a while.” He did not hesitate and started laying out formation around this man. He also used this time to understand this place better; it should help find the Ma Clan.

The entire process took a month, and he immediately activated the array. The backlash was immediate. Countless threads rushed towards Wang Wei, making his face severe. He could tell he would suffer if even one of these things hit him. Since proving the Dao, he had almost escaped the restraints of karma and could do whatever he wished. However, these threads could bypass his Karma Unbound Physique and force countless negative karma on him.

Wang Wei activated all the preventive measures he set up, but they were not as helpful as he wanted them to be. These threads embodied the saying that no one can escape karma. Wang Weiʼs measures can, at best, delay these threadsʼ approach, not block them.

ʼAt this rate, these defensive shields wonʼt buy me enough time to stripe this karma puppet from this area,ʼ Wang Wei thought. He did not want to give up such an opportunity, so he had to try something else. He summoned his River of Karma. During his Nine Extremity Foundation Cultivation, one of his incarnations once created a prototype of a River of Karma, which served as the foundation for Wang Weiʼs Karma Unbound Physique.

He planned to use the boost from this manifestation to delay these threads, and his plan worked, but it worked too well. As soon as the river appeared, these threads stopped and rushed toward it as if it were a goddess who accidentally ripped her clothes.

ʼWhatʼs going on,ʼ Wang Wei thought as he moved the river to prevent these threads from touching it. He knew little about these things, so how stupid would he be to let them touch something that is the foundation of his body? He observed closely.

The threads were too excited to rush toward the river, which provided Wang Wei plenty of time to seal the puppet finally. However, Wang Wei had a sense of foreboding.

Bang!

The mountain trembled, and Wang Weiʼs face turned ugly. He saw an enormous red light rushing toward him, and his eyes could see that that light was composed of red karma threads.

ʼDamn it, why is this river so appetizing to these things?ʼ Wang Wei thought. However, he did have time to think about this. Such a significant reaction was dangerous with Supreme Unity above his head. After all, even if the array is functional, itʼs impossible not to notice the anomaly in such a unique area. Wang Wei knew he could not stay here, but he was also unwilling to let go of such an opportunity.

ʼDamn it, since when has life been this difficult?ʼ Wang Wei cursed. He was a child of luck, favored by fate. His life had many challenges, but things usually worked out well for him. However, in recent times, nothing he does has proceeded smoothly. He did not hesitate to cast his [Borrow Time] to forcefully accelerate the array. In just a few seconds, the seal was completed, and he put the puppet away and teleported out of this space. Unfortunately, these threads blocked the surrounding space.

ʼHow annoying,ʼ Wang Wei cursed before casting a Space Tearing Technique. However, it was not the regular kind, but a spell that combined Space and Karma Dao. With this approach, he tore through these karma thread restrictions and forced his way out of this place.

Wang Wei teleported away and returned to the Lawless Zone. He knew countless eyes would now be on that territory, so he did not even stay close. He summoned a crystal ball with the puppet peacefully sleeping inside.

He nodded with a smile before creating a subdimension and sealing that crystal inside the Lawless Zone. Wang Wei was in paranoid mode, so how can he absorb something he found by accident? In this current situation, the baseline mindset he acted on was that Supreme Unity was watching everything and could control everything — including his luck. So, he wouldnʼt even keep it in his space ring until he could verify that this puppet had nothing wrong with it.

ʼNow, I must start over,ʼ Wang Wei complained. His destination was the Red Coffin Ground. According to what he knows, long ago, a peak Paragon of Karma Dao suffered a serious injury and escaped with its soul. Their body turned into this territory that contained a large quantity of karma-related resources. Such an area is less efficient than the previous Non-Causality Heaven, but it should be enough. However, as soon as Wang Wei arrived, he stopped himself.

ʼWhy am I making such a stupid decision?ʼ Wang Wei thought. ʼIf Supreme Unity knew I went to an area related to karma and something unexpected occurred, isnʼt it easy for him to deduce that I would change to another place? Arenʼt I just sending myself to the lionʼs mouth?ʼ

Non-existent beads of sweat fell from his back, and he teleported away. He decided to rely on himself, so he found an isolated area to build a dimension. He summoned a Karma Treasure his wife lent him — yes, lent, not given.

ʼI still remember some of the structure of the Non-Causality Heaven. Maybe I can replicate it,ʼ Wang Wei thought. He did not hesitate and immediately started. He used the Karma Paragon Artifact as a core and built it one step at a time. Wang Wei discovered this practice was slowly increasing his understanding of Karma Dao, so he lost himself in it.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Wei sensed a feeling of dread and immediately stopped. ʼWhat happened?ʼ He sensed the feeling and started cursing. His understanding of Karma through this manner was enough for his cultivation to increase by 1%, but such fluctuation was enough to touch the rules of the Heaven Lock. In other words, thunder would have struck him if he did not stop in time.

However, Wang Wei did not care about this and started laughing. He was genuinely happy because he had made two significant discoveries. First, he understood why these threads were so energetic about his River of Karma. The answer was simple — the Non-Causality Heaven was the failed experiment of someone else who also wanted to build their own River of Karma.

The karma threads of that place contained the other personʼs obsession, and when they saw Wang Wei, they felt this was an opportunity to fulfill their goal.

ʼObsession is truly a wonderful power,ʼ Wang Wei thought. However, he shook his head as he focused on his second discovery: he discovered a flaw in the Heaven Lockʼs restrictions.

ʼI can cultivate by observing and gathering knowledge,ʼ Wang Wei analyzed. ʼHowever, before the knowledge feeds back to my understanding of the Grand Dao Source, I must seal them so as not to trigger that hidden mechanism.ʼ

This method is not perfect and has two major flaws. The first one is that it requires extreme talent. Only someone like Wang Wei, with enough knowledge and the proper sealing method is needed. Additionally, this method requires unique places that can facilitate learning, such as the Non-Causality Heaven. Wang Wei can use that place, and he has a better place in the form of the Origin Seal Continent.

The second biggest shortcoming is it cannot currently increase Wang Weiʼs cultivation. He must wait until the lock is dealt with and unseal his memories. The good news is if the build-up is enough, the feedback from the memories could increase his cultivation by a few percent instantly.

Wang Wei exhaled. ʼI finally see some hope in destroying this cage.ʼ Nothing is perfect. Now that he has discovered one flaw of this lock, he can find others.
