Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1382  Strength Regaining Method

Wang Wei teleported to the Origin Seal Continent, and as soon as he appeared, he sensed a sharp sword energy followed by Yan Hai suddenly appearing before him.

”What happened to you? What did the sect contact me and tell me your Soul Lamp was about to go out?”

”I — Wait, how do you have my Soul Lamp?” Wang Wei asked. He made one in the lower dimension even before he started cultivating, but he never made one for the upper-dimension branch.

”Boy, is this whatʼs important right now?”

”Iʼm just curious.”

Yan Hai looked at him: ”Do you want another beating? In your current state, I donʼt even need the Ancestral Stick to show you my majesty.”

”Ancestor, relax,” Wang Wei swiftly said before explaining everything.

”That bold nun always complained about how she had a tumultuous fate with Taoism, but it seems true,” Yan Hai muttered. ”Now, I feel bad for dismissing her.” She removed these thoughts from her mind:

”Iʼm glad youʼre alive, kid.”

”Yes, itʼs always good to be alive,” Wang Wei nodded.

”So, why are you here?”

”I remember I sent a few talented people with Human Fiendgod Bloodline to ascend. The sect should have taken good care of them, correct?”

”Thatʼs right.”

”I need you to secretly contact the sect and one of them to come out. Donʼt use the previous contact method — it would be best to ask them indirectly.”

”You came here for this?” she asked with a frown.

”He has a tight watch over me, so I cannot risk contacting the sect,” Wang Wei explained. ”And I donʼt know enough about our secrets for any form of true secret contact.

”True.” Yan Hai nodded. ”But why do you need these people?”

”I need to borrow their bodies,” Wang Wei said. ”You see my situation, and the fastest way to regain my strength is to take over another body. The best body is those people with the same bloodline, and only they currently have the Human Fiendgod Bloodline.”

”In that case, I canʼt help you.”

”What?”

”We have strict rules about taking over clan membersʼ bodies.”

”Ancestor, this is an emergency — the rules can be slightly bent.”

”No,” Yan Hai responded, her voice firm.

”Ancestor,” Wang Wei replied, his voice slightly raised.

Yan Hai shook her head: ”I know youʼre thinking that Iʼm being old-fashioned and rigid, but thatʼs not true — Iʼm doing this for the good of the sect.”

”What do you mean?”

”Do you know what our sectʼs greatest advantage is over the other Overlords?”

Wang Wei frowned before answering: ”We are one of the most powerful while also extremely united.”

”Thatʼs right,” Yan Hai nodded. ”Although I cannot see as far as you or Brother Qiyuan, I understand that the key to our prosperity in the upcoming era is this unity, and your actions will undermine that unity.”

”Arenʼt you being a little dramatic?”

”Iʼm not,” Yan Hai rebutted. ”Although we are united, we still have a few problems. Ten factions rule the sect, including nine clans and the sectarian faction. Our Yan, Wang, and Li clan are at the top because all 4 Primals come from our clan. Meanwhile, the sectarian side is the largest faction with the most Paragons. However, they are also the most suppressed of the groups because of one rule — no more powerful clans are allowed to be born in the sect again.

”Over the years, we have spent countless time and effort to ensure the sanctity of the sect rules — especially the major one. So, you, of all people, breaking such a significant rule will definitely be used by other factions to create instability, undermining our unity.

”And I donʼt think I need to tell you who will strike first.”

”The Myriad Clan Union,” Wang Wei replied.

”Thatʼs right. The Wang Clan division started due to the fight over Bloodline Imprint, so can you imagine the field day they would have if this was the rule that you broke?”

Wang Wei groaned softly: ”I thought our relationship was better.”

”It is, but this also resulted in many people fearing about the reunification of the Wang Clan,” Yan Hai explained. ”The first thing the union would do is to pressure Heaven Opening to strike first. Unfortunately, our relationship is not really to the point of unification, so he will not hesitate to do it.”

Wang Wei was silent.

”Now, do you understand the ramifications your action will have?”

”But all that is predicated on the fact that we will survive this catastrophe to see the next era,” Wang Wei complained.

”I have never doubted you would succeed,” Yan Haid replied without hesitation.

”You have more trust in me than I do in myself.”

”My trust is not in you but in the person who believes in you,” Yan Hai explained. ”After the Ultimate Taboo, Brother Qiyuan once said his destiny as the sectʼs guide and wisdom provider ended, and someone else was about to take his place. As soon as he learned about you, he said you were the chosen one and placed all his faith in you.

”And I believe in his vision.”

Wang Wei was momentarily quiet before sighing: ”What do you want me to do?”

”Youʼre smart — youʼll figure it out.”

”Alright,” Wang Wei sighed, preparing to leave.

”Donʼt put on such a sour face. Anyway, you can come to me if you need anything else.”

”...I will,” Wang Wei said before suddenly stopping: ”I need to assassinate someone, but there is a danger that he might be a trap.”

”Oh? Who?” Wang Wei then explained who the First Sun was and why he wanted to kill him.

”Donʼt worry, Iʼll deal with it.”

”You canʼt do it yourself, ancestor,” Wang Wei immediately added. ”Nor used someone directly linked to you like a shadow.”

”I know.”

”There is also the fact that this man might have countless ways to save his life and even more longevity resources.”

”I understand,” Yan Hai said. ”But like I said, Iʼll deal with it.”

Wang Wei wanted to say more, but he had to stop after seeing the impatient look on her face. Regardless, he warned her one last time before teleporting away. At his hideout, Wang Wei had to contemplate another solution to regain his strength. An idea suddenly popped into his mind, so he contacted the Flame Blacksmith and Puppet Demon through the Void Illusion Realm.

”I need a well-made puppet,” Wang Wei said. ”It must be done to the exact proportion of my body, down to my [Existence]. Is that possible?”

”You want a New Life Puppet?” Puppet Demon asked.

”Whatʼs that?” Wang Wei asked, not familiar with that term.

”You know how there are two schools of puppetry?”

”Yes, external and internal puppetry,” Wang Wei nodded. The former focused on making and controlling puppets, while the latter turned their bodies into puppets.

”The ultimate goal of all Internal Puppetry is to create a New Life Puppet or a puppet based on their [Existence]. Such a puppet can grow and evolve without changing the parts — just like flesh and the soul.”

”On paper, this sounds easy, but your tone indicates itʼs not,” Wang Wei commented.

”Of course, itʼs difficult,” Puppet Demon said. ”In the history of Puppet Dao, the number of people who have succeeded probably can be counted on two hands.”

”Is that so?” Wang Wei frowned

”His explanation is flat-out wrong,” Flame Blacksmith suddenly added.

”What do you mean by this?” Puppet Demon swiftly asked.

”Any puppeteer who has mastered the technique of [Existence Reconstruction] could make a puppet based on someoneʼs [Existence],” he explained. ”New Life Puppets is about fusing the essence or concept of [Puppetry] into your [Existence].”

”I see.” Wang Wei understood that New Life Puppets was a method for Puppeteers to enter the Taboo Battle Realm, hence why so few people have succeeded.

”So, can you build my puppet?” Wang Wei asked, ignoring the Puppet Demonʼs embarrassment.

”Although itʼs not my expertise, with his help, it should not be an issue,” the Flame Blacksmith nodded.

”Excellent. How long will that take?”

”Is it urgent?”

”I need it as soon as possible.”

”In that case, let me calculate. If we have abundant resources, hire a few more puppeteers, and with your full cooperation, it should be done in about 2500 yuan epochs.”

Wang Weiʼs lips immediately twitched: ”Canʼt it be faster?”

Flame Blacksmith frowned — this was the fastest estimate he deduced. ”How fast are we talking about?”

”Iʼm talking in a few hundred years.”

”Are you mad?” he asked with a raised voice.

”How about a few thousand years?” Wang Wei swiftly added. However, the only answer he received was a hard stare.

”We have Time Formations, donʼt we?”

”The best of those are between 10 to 12 times the normal time, so unless you have access to a Wonder of Heaven and Earth, it wonʼt make much of a difference,” the Flame Blacksmith retorted.

Wang Wei sighed. This plan was not feasible. ʼSo, what else can I do?ʼ
