Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1362  A Time of Great Opportunity (II)

Tong Ruobing opened her eyes, frowning deeply. She waved her hand, and a communication talisman manifested. She warned the maids not to disturb her in case of an emergency. Nothing should have happened so soon, so why was she contacted?

When Tong Ruobing read the message, her frown deepened. ”Why is she asking for me? Especially with such urgency?” She walked out of the room and soon arrived at the entrance.

”Why are you here?” she asked directly, looking at a beautiful young woman in black with a small mole underneath her left eye that elevated her beauty.

”The elders are looking for you,” Sun Xiu replied. ”Why did they send you?” Tong Ruobing asked, raising her guard. She had every reason to guard against the latterʼs scheme. The Great Talisman City was the only professional faction from the lower dimension that joined the Skill Dao Association and became one of the core figures. Sadly, they have never cultivated a Primal Paragon, so their status is not the best.

But after Tong Ruobing ascended and re-established her foundation, her faction saw hope f. They provided her with all the resources and guidance necessary to ensure that she could grow to one day become a Primal. Of course, such status and resources are bound to affect someone else, and thatʼs where Sun Xiu comes in. Before Tong Ruobingʼs ascension, she was the most promising talent in the association to become a Primal. Still, after only a little over 10,000 yuan epochs, their status has become the same as they competed for the position of Primal Seed.

”Itʼs an emergency, and no one wanted to leave, so they asked me to fetch you,” Sun Xiu replied, not hiding her annoyance. Tong Ruobing glanced at her and secretly shook her head. She has great disdain for this woman. The Skill Path Association has enough resources to train more than one Primal Seeds, but this woman insisted on competing with her and even tried to suppress her after she initially ascended. The chances of someone with such a petty and small mindset becoming a Primal is too little. Tong Ruobing even wondered whether this woman could survive the Paragon Tribulation.

”Lead the way,” Tong Ruobing said. The Skill Dao Association was a congregation of mountains similar to the Dao Opening Sect, except they were not floating in the sky. Tong Ruobingʼs location was one of the four primary mountains, symbolizing the four main professions: pill, weapon, array, and talismans. She frowned when she realized their destination was Destiny Mountain.

The Skill Dao Association accepted people worldwide into their mountains. There is a specific quota, and even other Overlords will compete for them. However, Destiny Mountain was unique as it did not cultivate anyone with Divination talents. Instead, they were in charge of observing the associationʼs luck, destiny, and future.

The two soon reached their destination, and Tong Ruobing was shocked to find out that all the top leaders of the association were present. And once they all glanced at her, she felt suffocated. Luckily, she had also entered the Empyrean Realm, and the most powerful people present were in this realm.

The current Associate President waved his hand to activate an isolated profession, and Tong Ruobing sensed the changes in the environment. ʼThis is definitely a Paragon Array, and it may be more than just one. What exactly is going on?ʼ

”Child, come,” said a calm and soothing voice.

”Elder Chen,” Tong Ruobing saluted, looking at the elderly woman with clear eyes and no pupils. ”Did something happen?”

”The secrets of Heaven and Earth became chaotic, allowing me to peep at our associationʼs fate without much repercussions,” Elder Chen explained in a plain and slow voice. Tong Ruobing did not comment and waited for the latter to explain.

”I saw an opportunity to break this prison, and you will play a part in it,” Elder Chen continued. ”Are you serious? What can someone like me do in such a situation?” Tong Ruobing was puzzled. Although the association did not give access to certain information, she was smart enough to deduce the level of power involved; thus, she knew how weak she was.

”My divination cannot be wrong,” Elder Chen continued. ”You will play a part, and the destiny for breaking this lock will bring great fortune to us. Now, I need you to think clearly about whether you have something or experienced something that could help the situation.

”Itʼs alright if you donʼt. There is a chance that you havenʼt encountered it yet.” Elder Chen was experienced enough to understand how fate operated, so itʼs entirely possible that Tong Ruobing hasnʼt encountered the events that led to her participation. However, it would be best if they knew in advance; that way, they could maximize their benefits.

”Something that can affect the current situation,” Tong Ruobing muttered before something lashed into her eyes.

”Did you think of something?” Elder Chen asked.

Tong Ruobing summoned an orb with millions of Sealing Talismans. ”This is the blood and aura of a terrifying creature sealed in the lower dimension. This is the only thing I can think about.”

”Can I see?”

”Yes, but please, be extra careful.”

Elder Chen nodded. She knew Tong Ruobing was not the kind of highly cautious type, but she still acted in such a manner — that enough is proof of how serious this sealed blood was. So, she slowly lifted the talismans to sense inside. A murmur penetrated deep into Elden Chenʼs soul, trying to force her to worship some kind of entity. Additionally, she also sensed her soul rapidly being corroded as madness overwhelmed her senses. She reacted swiftly and protected herself.

”What a terrifying thing,” she commented.

”It wasnʼt this bad,” Tong Ruobing said with a frown; she realized this thingʼs power had silently increased while she was not paying attention. She shuddered, thinking what would have happened had she opened it while still in the Great Emperor Realm.

”The power level is only on par with the Empyrean Realm,” Elder Chen commented. ”But its essence has indeed surpassed the Paragon Realm. My prediction wasnʼt wrong — this thing will be one of the keys to removing the lock.”

Everyoneʼs eyes looked at that orb with fiery eyes. The world was currently experiencing a catastrophe, meaning there were both dangers and opportunities. If their association could choose the right side and acquire enough destiny, then they can cultivate a few more Primal Paragons and reach the same level as the Grand Sect Alliance and the Dao Opening Sect among the Overlords.

”Child, can you tell me in detail about how you acquired this thing?”

Tong Ruobing hesitated briefly before explaining everything that occurred with the Abyss Gap in the lower dimension. She left some details out, but they were not that important.

”Wang Wei, huh?” Elder Chen muttered. ”It seems the Dao Opening Sect will soon become the leader in the upcoming era.”

”Isnʼt that expected?” The Association President uttered. ”The Grand Sect Alliance is a group forced together, while the four Primals of the Dao Opening Sect are basically family. Isnʼt that why many people tried to suppress their development?”

”Letʼs not talk about this,” Elder Chen continued. She, more than many people, understood that some things were destined. ”Child, can you lend us this for a while?”

”No problem,” Tong Ruobing agreed without hesitation. She knew she had no choice in the current situation, and this thing would probably only be helpful after becoming a Primal.

”Donʼt worry, we wonʼt take your things without compensation,” Elder Chen continued. ”As a reward, you will be granted the position of Primal Seed, with all the status and resources. Additionally, you will be the one who carries the destiny from breaking the lock.”

”Elder Chen,” The Association President said. ”Itʼs fine to give her the position, but the matter of destiny must be treated with care.”

Elder Chen calmly looked at him: ”Havenʼt you understood? Some things are already destined. Why was she the one with this blood? Why did Wang Wei choose to bear the worldʼs destiny, and why did she have a close connection with him? Everything seems random or coincidental, but itʼs just fate working its miracle.”

”I understand what you mean, but…” The Association President continued, unwilling to let such an opportunity pass.

”We can wait until we can contact the Ancestors, but I guarantee they will make the same choice.”

”Then, letʼs just wait,” the president responded with gritted teeth. He knew his talent and that reaching the peak of the Paragon Realm was far-fetched. However, he now had a chance to see higher peaks with this upcoming destiny.

Elder Chen looked at Sun Xiu and sighed: ”Little Xiu, why is your mood so chaotic?” Sun Xiu was quiet.

”Our Association was one of the Overlords. Do you think we donʼt have the resources to train more than one Primal Seed? Why are you so small-minded? With such a mindset, how do you expect to carry the Sun Clanʼs name and glory?”

The Sun Clan Patriarch looked at his daughter with a frown. Their clan is a descendant of the associationʼs primal, meaning they have one of the highest status. Previously, he indulged his daughter since she had some talent, but now, he realized she may not be enough to represent the Sun Clan in the upcoming era.

ʼIt seems I may have to find another heir,ʼ he thought. However, thinking about how doting his wife was, he added. ʼAlright, letʼs give her one more chance.ʼ

”Elder Chan, what should we do now?”

”Our priority is to purify this thing and keep the essence,” Elder Chen stated. ”That is probably the key.”

”But can this thing be purified?” When Elder Chen opened the orb, the elders sensed the evil power emanating from it and were not confident.

”We must try,” she replied before suddenly thinking of something. Looking at Tong Ruobing, she asked, ”Do you want to participate?”

”Me?”

Elder Chen nodded.

”No problem,” Tong Ruobing replied calmly.
