Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1361  A Time Of Great Opportunity

Emperor Enlightening Academy:

Emperor Kong floated in the air, looking at the sky. He watched what happened to these parasites and was now in a strange mood. ʼThat battle had a significant effect on the world, and I sense an opportunity, but I cannot quite grasp it.ʼ He reviewed everything he had experienced, trying to catch that fleeting thought. Sadly, it eluded him like a thief who roams the night freely.

Emperor Kong considered talking to his disciples, but he remembered he had sent them on a critical mission to one of the important branches. ʼIn that case, letʼs meet the teacher.ʼ

Master Shang stood atop a long tower, looking hazily at the sky or maybe the stars. Was it Star-Gazing? In some ways. After Master Shang was revived and cultivated, he voluntarily fused with the Academyʼs Luck and became the Artifact Spirit/Guardian of the Academyʼs Luck Condensing Artifact.

Emperor Kong was against this, but the latter was adamant. The benefits of this act were numerous. The Academyʼs luck was condensed beyond the norm, allowing their destiny to prosper at an efficient rate compared to top lineages. The artifact was also better protected, and more importantly, due to its limitations, Master Shang could cultivate Luck and Destiny Dao without the Outlaw Trial.

”Your mind is perturbed,” Master Shang said without looking at his proud disciple.

”I am,” Emperor Kong nodded. ”I feel an opportunity is before me, and I cannot grasp it.” Emperor Kong would never doubt his intuition. Most cultivators of his realm would not question their senses or feelings, let alone those of someone like him with great luck and destiny. ”I was wondering if you had detected something.”

”Youʼre here at the right time,” Master Shang declared. ”The secrets of Heaven and Earth were momentarily disturbed, allowing me to see a few things.” Emperor Kong listened eagerly.

”Heavenly Daoʼs reliance on Wang Wei has increased,” Master Shang continued. ”It needs him to continue confronting the Black and White Sun. It also doesnʼt want him to be distracted.”

”You mean?” Emperor Kong asked with shining eyes.

”Yes, the moons have become a distraction,” Master Shang continued. ”The destiny to eliminate them has been open to others. Now, their luck is at its weakest, and Heavenly Dao encourages people to take this opportunity to remove these parasites.”

”This is certainly good news,” Kong said with a smile before swiftly controlling himself. With destiny on their side, it will be easier to scheme and kill these parasites. ”However, is it really a good idea to take Wang Weiʼs destiny?”

Master Shang looked at him: ”Youʼre too cautious about matters about him.”

”And itʼs still not enough,” Emperor Kong replied. Master Shang looked him in the eyes and did not say anything more. He has seen Kong grow up, and he has enough trust in him to believe his judgment.

”You donʼt need to worry about him,” Master Shang continued as he looked at the sky. ”Heavenly Dao knows what a terrible mistake it would be to ruin their relationship in the current situation. As such, it has already planned to make it up for him. Additionally, some new changes have occurred in the moonʼs Qi Luck.”

”Oh? What did you see?”

”It has become extremely easy to plunder their luck,” Master Shang continued. ”As long as you kill them once and force them to lose one of their lives, you can plunder a great deal of their luck and destiny. This is our academyʼs chance. We only need to kill one of them once, and the gain will be worth it.”

”I understand,” Emperor Kong nodded with shining eyes. He thanked his teacher before leaving. He needed to summon a meeting to discuss the next step.

…

Dao Opening Sect, a meeting of the elders and patriarch:

”Have you heard the news?” Sect master Yu Cai asked.

”What news?” an Elder who had just appeared asked. He was in isolated training to heal his injuries from the lock and was cut off from the outside. He wouldnʼt have shown his face if not for this emergency meeting.

”The parasitesʼ luck and destiny has become easier to plunder,” someone explained.

”That is good news, but is it enough for such a grand meeting? We donʼt need their luck and destiny.”

”Stupid, think of the implications.”

”What implications? Even if they are all dead, nothing will change with this fucking lock above our head.”

Yu Cai sensed a fight was about to occur, so he raised his hand to stop everybody. ”Todayʼs topic is whether we should intervene more in the outside world. Now that everyone is caught on letʼs discuss the pros and cons.”

”The main pro is we can revive the ancestors, and they will finally free us,” someone said. The Overlords and top lineages had too deep of a foundation. To facilitate their power and control, Time Eater played politics and convinced them to seal most of their top powers and resources, such as Paragon Artifacts, puppets, and talismans. As such, these lineages desperately need the return of their ancestors to free themselves.

”The con is the two suns are now more active than ever. With the latterʼs power, it might be easier for him to stop us from reviving our ancestors. Or even worse, use this opportunity to wipe us out.”

The room became eerily quiet. How long has it been since their sect has not felt a threat of death? At the top of their power, they were the ones who decided othersʼ life and death, but now, everything was reversed.

”Grand Elder, what do you think?” Yu Cai asked, looking at the elderly woman in a plain blue robe. As a sect master, Yu Cai only respected Grand Elder Yan Xue. The sectʼs political situation was complicated, with countless families and significant suppression of the sectarian faction to prevent the birth of another powerful family.

When this era started, and the sect faced a catastrophe, peopleʼs first instinct was to choose one of the three Ancestral Families (Wang, Yan, Li) as their next leader. However, Grand Elder Yan Xue vetoed these people and supported Yu Cai; she advocated and ensured the latter retained all his rights and power as sect master. Grand Elder Yan Xue had many ways to take power. When the catastrophe started, the remaining Paragons in the sect knew their fate, so they chose one person to survive and look after the sect in this upcoming turbulent era. Yan Xue was chosen, and without hesitation, she injured her [Existence] so her cultivation would drop to the Empyrean Realm. With her status and strength, she could have easily taken over. However, she fought to preserve the sectʼs rules and orthodoxy.

”Regarding such a major decision, itʼs best to hear from the ancestor,” Yan Xue said.

”You have a point,” Yu Cai said. Things have reached the point that they may need the opinion and guidance of their ancestors. Yu Cai agreed, and since Yan Xue was the only one who could contact Yan Hai, the elderly woman left the room and returned a few minutes later.

”The ancestor said we donʼt need to do anything,” Yan Xue announced. ”Young Master Wang Wei has taken on the burden, and we only need to wait until he needs or asks for our help.”

”Thatʼs it?”

”She also said that if something happens to him, prepare to avenge him no matter the cost.”

”I…understand,” Yu Cai nodded. He knew how high Wang Weiʼs status was in the sect, but he did not expect it to be to this level. However, he was not worried or jealous. He has accomplished his mission as a sect master and has enough luck and merit to become a Paragon. So, even if Wang Wei returns and wants his position, he can give it up.

…

Tribal Sacred Mountain:

Star Sage Fan Sui looked at the sky, pondering the fate of the demon race; ”Should we partake in this feast? Or is it too early?” She took this question seriously, as it would determine the fate of the demon race. ”Ao Shen is indeed talented, but he is not ready. Participating in this event has a higher chance of killing him than giving any benefit.

”But if that is true, where is his opportunity?”

Star Sage Fan Sui looked at the lock above the Heavens briefly before her eyes shifted to the sealed Time Eater: ”Are you this worldʼs next Time Nexus? Will the worldʼs next catastrophe originate from you? In that case, we can prepare to participate in that one.”

She waved her hand to send someone to summon Ao Shen. As Wang Wei predicted, the latter became an Empyrean, but he has not condensed a Golden Body of Merit. Wang Wei slightly underestimates the complicated political situation of the demon race.

”Did something happen?” Fan Sui asked, and Ao Shen was shocked before remembering who this woman was. So, he told her about Wang Weiʼs message.

”Itʼs indeed fate,” Fan Sui said, but Ao Shen did not understand. ”In my name, Iʼll sponsor you for the merit you lack, and you can accept his proposal.”

A light of wisdom flashed in Ao Shenʼs eyes. ”As you wish.”
