Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

1467  The Hinted Solution

Wang Weiʼs first order of business was to secretly recover his spirit particle and read the memories of the voyage. The initial host of the particle died, so it had to sneakily find a new host to ensure it could reach the inner core. And once inside, it had to stay out of the way to hide its presence. Once he retrieved it, Wang Wei glanced toward these people.

A white deer more than five meters tall with purple horns and a purple crystal on its forehead stood at the center, with chains all over its body. It fought desperately, but the chains, which were attached to the transcendent artifacts, were unbreakable.

Ji Jingjing and her people formed a circle around the creature. Meanwhile, Sir Lu and the other spirits floated in the sky, hurling attacks at the aggressor, trying to stop them.

ʼThis should be the new consciousness,ʼ Wang Wei thought as he glanced at the deer. The creatureʼs eyes were confused and panicked as it tried to fight for its life. However, the way it moved indicated it was a new life and had little to no experience.

ʼWhat kind eyes,ʼ Wang Wei commented. As he glanced at the creatureʼs eyes, he felt a strong desire for protection. It was as if this creature was his child, and Wang Wei had a motherly instinct to protect it. He had to steel his mind to regain his bearing and observe impartially.

ʼMadman Chu told me every creature from the Genesis Age had their own power capable of breaking the rules of the current era,ʼ Wang Wei thought as he focused intently, trying to feel the power of this creature. He sensed an old, archaic power with a similar origin to the Grand Dao Source but utterly different in its essence.

ʼThe power of nurturing,ʼ Wang Wei thought. ʼThis creature can nurture all things. Thatʼs why it can help people reach a higher level: it nurtures the body, soul, mind, and even comprehension of law.ʼ The Heaven and Earth Wonder that Emperor Kong used had time-related powers; the one from the Golden Era had a Birthing Power or a subcategory of Yin-Yang, and this trial had the concept of Nurturing.

ʼAnd even if there is no such thing as transcendent herbs that can help them reach a higher level, some of these factions should have used flawed abilities from the Ultimate Taboo. They should definitely be able to refine a transcendent herb that helped them become true Half-Step Transcendent,ʼ Wang Wei analyzed.

This revelation meant he could not allow them to take away this creature. If these people become more powerful, then it will be easier once they try to invade the Eternal Ascension World in the upcoming catastrophe. There is also the fact that Wang Wei also wanted to use this power for himself one day. ʼThe issue is how should I help.ʼ

A direct intervention was out of the question, but Wang Wei believed there was something he could do to solve the current situation. ʼHmm? Have they noticed me?ʼ

…

”Princess, there is a problem.”

”Qin Jie, what do you mean by that?” Ji Jinjing asked through divine sense.

”Everything was proceeding accordingly. Then, out of nowhere, the fate of this creature became uncertain,” Qin Jie replied as he pushed the power of the pagoda to the limit. Ji Jinjing frowned. Qin Jie was one of the heirs of the Star-Gazing Pavilion, even escaping the burden of the [Old Man Tianji] name. So, if he said something was wrong, then something was wrong.

”Do you think Bi Longsheng finally decided to act?” she asked.

”All signs show he will only act if we fail,” Qin Jie replied.

”Then, what is the source of this anomaly?” Monk Dhammadinna asked as he controlled the golden prayer beads.

”I donʼt know.”

”Do you think there is an intruder?” the Supreme Thrust Paragon asked. ”Someone who came after Bi Longsheng.”

”I didnʼt detect anything,” Monk Dhammadinna replied as he activated his [Mind Eye] technique to scan the area. Unfortunately, there was nothing in sight.

”Qin Jie, canʼt you divine or calculate anything?” asked the fifth member, an odd-looking man wearing a tattered black robe and bandages that covered every inch of his body. Everyone called Deathʼs Breath.

”All I see is this all-encompassing nothingness,” Qin Jie replied in a strange voice. ”Itʼs vast, beautiful, and the place all things — including all Daos — will eventually return to. I can feel its embrace — itʼs calling me. I must return. It is where we come from and where we will return.”

Bang!

His pagoda trembled, releasing a slight light that instantly woke him from his strange daze. ʼDamn it,ʼ Qin Jie said with gritted teeth, angered for many reasons. His divination failed, and he was embarrassed by his peers. A deep fear flashed in his eyes before he exhaled to control his emotions.

”Are you alright?” Monk Dhammadinna asked.

”Iʼm fine,” Qin Jie replied bluntly. ”Whoever the intruder is, he has mastered a profound counter-divination method.”

”Do you think itʼs someone from the All-Seeing Temple?” Death Breath asked.

”Are you insulting me?” Qin Jie asked.

”You might look down on their temple, but you should not ignore the fact they have some extraordinary means.”

”I know the templeʼs means, and itʼs not them.”

The others looked at him, but no one believed him. Qin Jie can act out his disdain and prejudice against the All-Seeing Temple, and they would not make such a mistake. ”Regardless, we must be on the lookout for a sneak attack or other means of interference,” Ji Jinjing said.

ʼThat was closed,ʼ Wang Wei thought silently to himself. He had never worked so hard for a counter-divination attempt in his life. Usually, his Fate Physique and Fateless Status meant almost no one could divine information about him. However, that person from the Star-Gazing Pavilion was so close to success due to being boosted by a transcendent artifact. Luckily, Wang Wei reacted in time and used his [Emptiness Power] to hide his information.

Wang Wei gazed at Sir Lu and the other spirits and communicated with them: ”Hello, Sir Lu: do you remember me?” Sir Lu frowned before answering: ”I donʼt know how you got lucky and came here, but I warned you to leave this place as soon as possible.”

”Thatʼs mighty kind of you, but I came here to help.”

”Boy, you are probably one of the most talented individuals this trial has ever cultivated. You have a bright future ahead, so donʼt ruin it here. This battle is beyond your capabilities.”

”I know this fight is beyond my physical capabilities. But Sir Lu, you seemed to have forgotten what my greatest asset is.”

”Youʼre a Dao Overlord!”

”Now youʼre following.”

”Do you have a solution to the current situation? Tell me quickly!”

”I may have an idea, but…”

Sir Luʼs lips twitched: ”What do you want?”

”One question first: did you artificially inflate the difficulty of the Battle Tower?”

”Iʼm sorry about that,” Sir Lu responded in embarrassment. ”The only way to accelerate the growth of the main mind was to have you guys spend more points.”

”So, what was my real record?” Wang Wei asked.

”Ten years.”

”Thatʼs not long,” Wang Wei murmured. In just a short ten years, the Absolute Killer would have bypassed his Chrono Spirit and discovered his Time Mark.

”Now, can you tell me?”

”Before that, we must negotiate my price.”

”First, I want to use the trial until my cultivation reaches the Paragon Peak,” Wang Wei stated.

”Iʼm afraid thatʼs not possible,” Sir Lu replied. ”Donʼt get us wrong, itʼs not because we donʼt want to. Weʼve used much power to fight these people, but the remaining is insufficient to support your cultivation to the peak.”

”Then, how far can I go?”

”Probably the Seventh Heaven — maybe the Eight if we pushed it.”

Wang Wei frowned: ”What if I only train my soul?”

”Your soul is already on par with the Eight Heaven; we can probably raise it by another 1%,” Sir Lu responded, but his expression indicated that such a concession would hurt them.

”Thatʼs fine by me,” Wang Wei nodded. He had many ways to increase his realm after the lock, including the merit heʼd received. With the trial, he can get his soul to 99% before taking a True Soul Pill. Although this pill usually takes more than 50,000 Yuan Epochs to absorb, it can directly elevate Wang Wei to a Peak Paragon Soul.

”My second request is unlimited access to this trial.”

”Once again, thatʼs impossible,” Sir Lu swiftly countered. ”We will spend much time repairing the trial if we survive this ordeal.” Wang Wei just stared at him.

”You already have six tokens, correct? Iʼll offer an additional four exclusively for you. Once we are barely operational, you can send ten people to train, but they can only reach initial Heaven (90%).”

Wang Wei stared at him for a few seconds. After reading his facial expression, he said: ”Fine, but there is still a third and final request, and this one is non-negotiable.”

”I want the purest power or essence of this creatureʼs Nurturing Power. Additionally, I want itʼs understanding of that power.ʼ The greatest asset of this trial is that nurturing power, which Wang Wei has numerous plans for already.

Sir Lu gritted his teeth: ”I can give you the power, but knowledge is out of the question.” Wang Wei squinted.

”The main mind has retained little knowledge from its predecessor, Fei,” Sir Lu immediately explained. ”Thatʼs why itʼs in such a bad state — it cannot control its power.”

”I see,” Wang Wei muttered. ”Very well. Iʼll grant you access to my personal dimension. Put my rewards inside, and Iʼll tell you how to save it.”

”You want us to pay first?”

”After your previous immoral business practices, you think Iʼll trust you?” Wang Wei countered.

”I guess thatʼs fair,” Sir Lu smiled wryly. ”Wait a moment.” A few minutes later, the clone received information from the main body that he had received payment and nodded.

”The Heaven Cardinal already hinted at the answer to your problem,” Wang Wei stated. ”Fei was a kind creature, so you need to bank on that. Send a call for help to all the creatures youʼve helped nurture through this trial. One of them might have become transcendent and willing to help.

”But even if thatʼs not true, you can still try to contact the spirits of those creatures from the Genesis Age. If Fei had been as kind as the Cardinal had said, she would have helped many of them. Their bodies and souls might have been erased, but their will lingered in the Chaos Universe, and they should respond to your plea.”
