Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1360  Too Many Purple Crystals

Wang Wei looked in the distance thoughtfully. He looked at the karma thread between him and Time Eater. He could tell the latter had a great understanding of karma or, at the very least, knew enough to protect himself very well. ʼThis is not over,ʼ he sneered.

He sent a message to Feng Heng, asking him to send the other two Buddhist Sages to stay near Time Eaterʼs seal and constantly reinforce it. Although he did not expect this method to increase the sealʼs strength, it should distract Time Eater, forcing him to waste his time and prevent him from having the time to act against him.

ʼThose two are not enough. It would be better if there were four of them,ʼ Wang Wei thought. The following message was to Red Mask, and her target was the Pure Flame Sage. She was to ”invite” him for this task, with promises of reward. And if the latter refuses? Red Mask has the power to do whatever means necessary for him to agree — as long as she doesnʼt kill him.

ʼThe last one,ʼ Wang Wei thought with a frown. He could not ask Lin Qi or Emperor Kong since these two had too much work to do and could not abandon their lineage foundation just to guard a seal. ʼShould I ask the sect?ʼ Wang Wei thought about it, but he had a better idea — Ao Shen.

ʼHe contributed immensely to the revival of the demon race in the lower dimension. Although it was not enough to condense a Golden Body, it was close enough. If the demon race values him, they should have helped him condense it.ʼ

The Golden Body of Merit, no matter the level, has many values, and the most important is to help pass the Paragon Tribulation. Ao Shenʼs talent is enough to be considered a Paragon Seed, and having a Golden Body would increase his chances and positions. The demon race should make such a small investment.

ʼLetʼs contact him and see the result,ʼ Wang Wei thought. With all of Ao Shenʼs achievements, destiny, luck, and the support of the demon clan, his cultivation should also be in the lower levels of the Empyrean Realm. As such, he was more than enough to be one of the sealʼs guardians. Wang Wei sent the message but did not wait for a response since he knew the latter would not return to him so quickly.

He flew to the Void Illusion Realmʼs door and entered. The sight of that welcome was both expected and slightly surprising. Wang Wei saw endless white and emptiness. The description of the Void Illusion Realm from records displayed a vivid world created from spiritual power and illusion. However, this place was more than deserted.

ʼAfter all, this thing has been used for countless yuan epochs,ʼ Wang Wei shook his head. He summoned the Ma Clanʼs Luck Condensing Artifact, and as expected, a unique magic circle suddenly emanated from it. Wang Wei marveled at transcendent methods. All his methods and knowledge were useless before this power.

He also realized that he had wronged Maitreya. If not for her holding off most of Supreme Unityʼs power, Wang Wei would have absolutely no way to fight back — at least, not before he fully becomes a Primal and has enough knowledge and experience about transcendents.

The magic circle opened a portal to the core of this realm, and Wang Wei immediately salivated. He saw a vast mountain range in a specific corner of this core, with each mountain composed of purple crystals. He recognized these purple crystals as condensed Soul Energies. Near this mountain range was a vast ocean, and Wang Wei knew this ocean was liquified soul energy.

”Such quantity and purity,” Wang Wei commented. The quantity was mind-boggling, but the truly valuable aspect of these crystals was how perfectly purified they were. ”Her accomplishment in the souls is on another level. I guess that makes sense since her main Dao is Illusion.”

Despite his greed, Wang Wei did not rush over rashly. Instead, he slowly approaches. As expected, a formation appeared to block his path. He observed and studied it clearly before shaking his head. Ma Liqiu was not stupid, so she took some precautionary measures to ensure Wang Wei kept his end of the bargain.

The protective formation had one purpose — to ensure Wang Wei kept his word. More importantly, it could only be opened by someone with the blood of the Ma Clan, and that person must reach the Paragon Realm.

ʼItʼs really not easy to take advantage of these old guys that have lived for god knows how long,ʼ Wang Wei sighed. ʼLet alone the ones that have already started their transcending path.ʼ He shook his head and ignored this formation. He knew that even if he asked the sectʼs best Array Masters to try to break this thing, it probably wouldnʼt work. And even if they found a method, Ma Liqiu probably left a means of self-destruction.

However, it did not mean that Wang Wei was out of chess moves. He could control the person who becomes the Paragon; he could injure their [Existence] after the latter opens the formation for him and even send the latter into reincarnation once he has what he wants.

However, Wang Wei had an even better way. ʼWillpower is a terrifying power. If I can train the Ma Clan Paragon to have a frightening amount of willpower, then it will be a question of whether Ma Liqiu can take over their bodies to revive. Even if she can, this approach should be enough to delay her.ʼ

He now knew how he would train the Ma Clanʼs descendants. When it comes to talent, itʼs easier to do than expected. Since they are Ma Liqiuʼs descendants, Wang Wei only needs to awaken their talents for illusion. Although this approach will turn these people into a better vessel for Ma Liqiu, itʼs still the most efficient way to improve their talents and find someone capable of reaching the Paragon Realm.

The next step is the Ma Clanʼs luck and destiny. These guysʼ Qi Luck is such a pitfall that they might choke while drinking water. However, that is also easy to deal with. After Wang Wei revived the Void Illusion Realm, he could nourish their clanʼs Qi Luck Dragon to restore their family. He must also find or cultivate a guardian for their clan to ensure the people donʼt squander their Clanʼs Qi Luck and destiny again.

Finally, Wang Wei will train these talentsʼ minds and willpower. He will ensure their willpower is always higher than their cultivation and train them to resist body or soul possession.

ʼI can also add obsession,ʼ Wang Wei thought as he fine-tuned the plan. ʼIf the chosen person has a strong will and is obsessed with reviving the Ma Clan, these two powers should be enough to cause Ma Liqiu some problems.ʼ

Wang Wei had no issue with Ma Liqiu and even had a plan on how to treat her. However, things have changed. He needed access to these soul powers as soon as possible, but he did not want her to revive anytime soon, so he could only treat her this way.

…

Now that he knew how to proceed with the Ma Clan, Wang Wei focused on the Void Illusion Realm. Ma Liqiu did lie as she handed him complete control over this realm. At least Wang Wei could not detect any backdoors, and he did not believe there were none. If his deduction is correct that this realm was her path of transcendence, she would never hand it over to him.

Once he gained complete control, rebuilding the Void Illusion Realm was the next step. The process was easier than expected since Wang Wei had experience with the Dream World. He rebuilt the lower dimensionʼs Dream World with a few modifications to tweak things to fit the aesthetic and situation of the upper dimension. However, Wang Wei did immediately open access to cultivators. His current task was to spread the Mortal Civilization through this thing.

Once everything was prepared, Wang Wei sent his people to spread the news worldwide. He also contacted Sage Lin Qi and his association. The latter had way more contacts and connections with mortals, and he also had more trust and prestige among them.

”Now, all that is left to build as fast as possible,” Wang Wei muttered as he looked in the distance. He has access to the Mortal Civilizationʼs results from the lower dimension, making things easier for the mortals here. However, he also knew that Supreme Unity would not let things proceed smoothly.

ʼIf nothing unexpected occurs, the next step is a war between mortals and cultivators,ʼ Wang Wei analyzed. With the way things are proceeding, this war was inevitable. The cultivators have become crazy because their lifespans are running out, and now that Wang Wei is about to arm the mortals, they will no longer accept their fate as fat sheep that can be easily slaughtered.

ʼOnce the mortals can hold on by themselves, my next task should be how to reduce Supreme Unityʼs influence in the world, followed by how to remove that damn lock,ʼ Wang Wei thought.
