Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1415  The Counterattack Starts

”Iʼll be in your care,” Wang Wei nodded politely.

”We need to find a date for your patriarch ceremony,” Wang Si added.

”I just returned, so there is no need to be talking about the transfer of power,” Wang Wei said.

”No, these are the rules,” Wang Si insisted. ”The Patriarch Position will be beneficial to your Paragon Tribulation, and all your achievements or accomplishments will further nourish the Wang Clanʼs luck and destiny.”

”In that case, wait until Iʼm about to pass the tribulation.”

”As you wish,” Wang Si nodded. ”One last thing, you can choose a few of the Human Fiendgods to serve you. Most of them worshipped you and would love to work for you again.”

”I will,” Wang Wei nodded. All the Human Fiendgods originated from the lower dimension and knew Wang Wei, so it might be a good idea to transfer them to his [Transcending Fate Mountain] to serve under him.

”Letʼs continue,” Sect Master Yu Cai continued. ”This is Matriarch Li Yang and Patriarch Yan Duyi.” Li Yang was a beautiful woman with extraordinary red lips and naturally charming eyes. Yan Duyi was an emo man; his hair, clothes, eyes, and jewelry were all black, and even his aura was dark and depressing.

Wang Wei bowed to them, and Li Yang immediately asked: ”When is the Eternal from our clan ascending? We understand their unique situation, but could you elaborate in more detail?”

”No problem,” Wang Wei said before explaining Li Jun and Yan Lilingʼs situation to them.

”So, it will take a while,” Li Yang said in disappointment. The sect may have too many Eternals to count, but it was different for Eternals from the lower dimension. Destiny is in the lower dimension, meaning it was easier to give birth to great talents. From the information Li Yang and Yan Duyi have gathered, Li Jun and Yan Liling have already shown signs of being Peak Seeds, hence their excitement for their possible rise.

”Thank you for preserving the unity between our clans,” Matriarch Li Yang said to Wang Wei. She understood the overwhelming power he had in the lower dimension, and if he wanted, he could have turned the lower dimension sect into the puppet of the Wang Clan. Wang Wei nodded to her, and Yu Cai introduced the other families.

”This is Patriarch Long, Matriarch Xie, Patriarch Tang, Matriarch Su, Patriarch Yin, and Patriarch Zhou.” The six of them stood before Wang Wei and bowed politely. He returned the salute before looking at Matriarch Xie, a small woman with green clothes and intense eyes.

”If I remember correctly, the Supreme Elder Shadow Ruler took the name Xie?”

”He is our ancestor,” she replied succinctly.

Wang Wei nodded and did not ask anymore. Yu Cai took over the conversation again: ”Those are the Elders taking care of different aspects of the sect. Letʼs start with the Disciplinary Hall Elder…” For the next hour, Wang Wei met all the upper echelons and had a basic understanding of the upper dimension sectʼs operation and rules. Finally, he signaled that only the Grand Elder and Sect Master stayed for an important meeting.

”First thing first, I need you guys to perfectly replicate this thing before its owner comes asking for it,” Wang Wei said, sitting cross-legged with a small golden tablet floating above his palm. The tablet released an intense Dao Rhyme, forcing Yu Cai and Yan Xue to squint.

”Is that the Skill Dao Associationʼs Dao Path Tablet?” Elder Yan Xue asked.

”Thatʼs right,” Wang Wei nodded. He split all the resources from the Northern Chu Dynasty with Mongke after killing Shu Ren, and this tablet was one of the prizes they shared.

Elder Yan Xue played with the tablet in her hands: ”We currently have only one person who can refine Tier 12 products while still in Tier 11, but heʼs a Pill Refiner. The best we can do is a false product.”

”The Overlordsʼ destiny has returned, so it wonʼt be long before the association asks for their treasure back,” Yu Cai stated.

”In that case, we need to delay for as long as possible so we can buy time to copy it,” Wang Wei decided. ”In the meantime, we can start the preparation.”

”Thatʼs not an issue,” Yu Cai nodded.

”I promised the Barbarian Race they could copy our copies, donʼt forget that,” Wang Wei added. One of the primary reasons this thing was in his hands, even though Mongke was the one who killed Shu Ren, is that the Barbarian Race could not bear the pressure from the Skill Dao Association, but the Dao Opening Sect could.

”If you say so,” Yu Cai nodded. The Primal Seed has a lot of powers in the sect, especially regarding the utilization of resources. Besides a few things that may require the ancestors to sign up, there are almost no limits to their resources. Of course, the criteria needed to get this position are also insane. Throughout the sectʼs history, there have only been three prior Primal Seeds, and only one — Ancient Desolate — lived to that name.

”About the second matter,” Wang Wei continued. ”I need to comprehend something, but it is extremely challenging and will take me too long on my own. Is there a way for me to comprehend it in less than a Yuan Epoch?”

Elder Yan Xue frowned. He knew how talented this young man was, and he was saying someone of his caliber was about to comprehend something challenging — what level is such a thing? She suddenly thought of something, and a look of realization flashed in her eyes.

”You could use the Experience Pill, which would allow you to experience the point of view of whoever created whatever you wish to comprehend — even if it was Heaven and Earth,” Elder Yan Xue suggested.

”No, he canʼt,” Yu Cai said. ”Donʼt you remember? We used the last Experience Pill trying to summon the Mortalhood Trial.”

”Oh, thatʼs right,” Elder Yan Xue nodded before frowning as she could not think of another suggestion.

”The only option left is the Mind Dilation Pill, but…” Yu Cai said.

”The side effects are too severe,” Elder Yan Xue disagreed.

”No, letʼs do it,” Wang Wei said. He knew of the Mind Dilation Pill, a Paragon-ranked pill that can dilute time between the mind and the outside. In some extreme cases, one second inside a personʼs mind might equal 10,000 Yuan Epochs outside. However, the faster the time dilation, the greater the burden on the soul.

”Oh right, I forgot you already have a Paragon Soul,” Yan Xue nodded. ”Regardless, you should give him some Soul Protection Pills.”

”No problem,” Yu Cai said as he stood up. ”Anything else?”

”No, thatʼs it for now.”

”Good.” Although he didnʼt have to, Yu Cai went to gather the resources personally.

”I know youʼll be busy, but Iʼll leave you on your own device. Donʼt hesitate to call me if you need something,” Elder Yan Xue uttered before also leaving.

”What do you think?” Wang Wei asked the empty room. Swish! Red Mask appeared before him, kneeling on one knee.

”The Wang, Li, and Yan clan are excited for your return, but the other six — not so much.” Wang Wei nodded before motioning her to continue:

”Your presence will further consolidate the three main clanʼs power, especially if you can become the Fifth Primal/Ancestor,” Red Mask explained. ”Most of the six clans appeared neutral of your presence, except for the Su and Zhou Clan. Their leaders tried to hide their emotions, but I could still detect it.”

Wang Wei nodded as he looked at his token. The fact that they already had a status for him showed they had prepared long ago, most likely due to Ancestor Yan Haiʼs orders. ”Anything else?”

”The Great Elder and Matriarch Xie detected my presence.”

”Oh?” Wang Wei was not surprised Elder Yan Xue discovered her since he detected her essence was once that of a Paragon, but it was something else for Matriarch Xie.

”Sheʼs probably in the shadow business like myself,” Red Mask continued. ”And sheʼs exceptional at her job.”

”Is that so?” Wang Wei muttered. ”During my retreat, I need you to establish yourself in the sect. Use the opportunity that these clans do not have the protection of their powerful ancestors to infiltrate their ranks. I want to be able to know what kind of underwear their patriarch is wearing. Do you understand?”

”No problem, but do I have a bottom line?”

”Play by the rules as long as they do the same,” Wang Wei instructed. ”I want to be informed, not break the foundation and unity of the sect.” He needed to start preparing for the future, and thatʼs one of the reasons he returned to the sect now.

The Seven Moon Era was gone, leaving only Seven Cauldron and Time Eater. Seven Cauldron is a walking skeleton, as her body will definitely collapse once she is no longer a vessel, leaving Time Eater as the last remnants of the previous era.

Wang Weiʼs plan might involve Time Eaterʼs death, meaning he was also living on borrowed time. Now was the time to return to the sect and prepare for the future.
