Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1485  Wang Bo

”Whatʼs taking so long?” Wang Wei asked as he teleported to an area of the sect called the [Unknown Graveyard]. The name was apt since it was filled with coffins, forming an eerie atmosphere.

”Iʼm removing the main seal, and itʼs harder than I thought,” Yan Buhai explained, her face turning the same shade as her hair. It was the first task the Primal Seed handed to him, but she was failing.

”Main Seal?” Wang Wei asked. ”Oh, youʼre talking about the Sunʼs Seal.” All top factions will hide their forces, meaning that during the Ultimate Taboo, not all Paragons attended. So, even after Time Eaters, the other Moons, and Maitreya and Supreme Unity cleaned the world, they could not eliminate everyone unless they penetrated the inner secrets of these factions.

Supreme Unity, no doubt, wanted to eliminate these people, but Maitreya was adamant about not going too far. So, they compromised and sealed these existences, preventing them from influencing the world and their subsequent ascension.

”Let me take a look,” Wang Wei said as he approached. An invisible magic circle hung above the sky, affecting every coffin on the ground. ”The seal is designed so that only a Fifth Heaven Paragon can break it, but the process would be slow.”

”You only needed the professionals, so Iʼve targeted the area affecting them, thus reducing the time needed,” Yan Buhai explained.

”Donʼt worry, I donʼt blame you,” Wang Wei reassured. His words made Yan Buhai secretly sigh in relief. Wang Wei then proceeded to help her by tearing apart the seal.

ʼI can understand why the future wife is mad at Maitreya, but Iʼm also grateful for her existence,ʼ Wang Wei thought as he watched the magic circle dissipate. Without Maitreyaʼs existence to balance that hateful Taoist, who knows how much his sect or the entire world would have suffered at that maniacʼs hand. Simultaneously, Maitreya pushed many lines of morality to achieve success. Although she came from a good place, her actions still had many disastrous consequences.

”Is there anything else you need?” Wang Wei asked.

”Uh, no,” Yan Buhai replied before remembering something. ”Do you want me to wake a few more people to take charge?” She had learned from the sect master that a few Supreme Elders were secretly sealed and could be awakened in a time of need.

”No need, just the talented and experienced professionals,” Wang Wei replied. If a few Supreme Elders were awakening, Wang Wei would have to deal with a new power dynamic, but he did not have the time and patience for that now. Once the lock is removed, the Ancestors can revive and take charge.

”Alright,” Yan Buhai replied with a small, but not well-hidden grin. As one of the few Paragons active in the sect, she now has a lot of power, and if she uses it correctly before the Ancestorsʼ return, she can get enough benefit to help her future cultivation.

Wang Wei had to wait another hour before meeting these people since many of them needed time to acclimate from the long sleep. As soon as he appeared, all eyes shifted to him, observing and even testing him. Wang Wei did not hide his natural aura. The last thing he needed was for these people to underestimate or use their seniority to fight with him. In the cultivation world, strength was respected, so no one could say anything else after realizing who they faced.

”The world is about to experience a catastrophe unlike anything it has seen. I have found a clue to this catastrophe and need your help to analyze it,” Wang Wei declared. These old cultivators frowned after hearing his words, not hiding their confusion or skepticism. So, they began to deduce or divine the truth.

Wang Wei snapped his finger, stopping all of them. He then used his divine sense to transfer knowledge of the era and the lock situation. He did not stop them when they tried to observe the lock to verify the truth.

”What a terrible era,” an elderly man uttered. He was dressed in a casual black robe, and the odd thing about him was his missing front tooth. ”Boy, whatʼs the evidence you speak of?”

”You are?” Wang Wei asked.

”Wang Bo.”

”Youʼre Sage Origin Rune,” Wang Wei said.

”Thatʼs the stupid name that boy Qiyuan forced me to take,” Wang Bo responded as he started picking his nose.

”Itʼs an honor to meet you, ancestor,” Wang Wei said, bowing deeply. This manʼs name may not be popular, but thatʼs because he doesnʼt like fame. But even in the lower dimension, he is a legend in the Dao Opening Sect.

When Ancestor Qiyuan started the sect, Wang Bo was the person responsible for building the foundation of the sectʼs professional Daos. In other words, he built the Alchemy Halls, Weapon Mountains, and so on. And when Qiyuan ascended, he took Wang Bo with him. He first reincarnated to walk the Emperor Path before slowly crawling to the Paragon Realm, and redoing the same for the upper dimension branch.

Unfortunately, Wanb Boʼs talent was lacking. After an assassination attempt during the First Origin War, he received a Dao Wound, which is a permanent wound to the [Existence], that cut off his Paragon Path. As a result, he could not move further than the Third Heaven and decided to seal himself.

”Youʼre quite polite, arenʼt you?” Wang Bo chuckled. ”Based on your face and demeanor, I thought you would be a stuck-up little brat.”

”I have a lot on my plate and am currently in a no-nonsense mood. Otherwise, Iʼm a fun person to be around,” Wang Wei replied truthfully.

”Yes,” Wang Bo said with narrow eyes. ”I can see the burden of destiny on you, just like that brat Qiyuan back then, and just like Patriarch Heaven even before that. Heavenly Dao should really stop burdening our clan.”

ʼThe sect history never mentioned this old guy was alive during the Heaven Opening Emperorʼs era,ʼ Wang Wei thought.

”Well, there are some advantages to being blessed by destiny,” Wang Wei uttered. ”Letʼs not talk about this. Let me show you what I found.” He waved his hand to summon the ship, immediately drawing Wang Bo and everyone else who was listening in silence. They surrounded the boat and started discussing animatedly.

”Is that Blackheart Bamboo?”

”No, it resembled Source Steel Bamboo from the Twin Peak World?”

Someone spit on the ship and observed: ”No, itʼs not Source Steel Bamboo.”

”Donʼt discount it yet. It may have been modified with runes or mixed with something else.”

They discussed countless possibilities, but each was rejected after analysis or testing. Finally, when everyone was frustrated, someone said, ”I donʼt think this is from our universe.”

”Are you stupid?”

”Did the long sleep dull your mind?

”Yes, what nonsense are you talking about? If itʼs not from our universe, where is it from?”

”Damn you bastard. I mean itʼs not from our timeline.”

”Oh…Then, why didnʼt you clarify?”

”You guys just attack me before I even finish.”

”Itʼs not our fault you speak so slowly. We thought your brain was as slow as your speaking speed.”

”Damn it, Iʼll fight all of you bastard! None of you has shown me respect, even though you know Iʼm the best around.”

”The best? Now I know something is wrong with your mind.”

”Alright, letʼs have it out. Weʼll have the Primal Seed as the witness.”

”Focus, people, donʼt forget what is at stake,” someone yelled.

”Thatʼs right.”

”Yan Zi is correct. The material is probably from another timeline.”

”Does anyone have any experience in that matter?”

”The only time Iʼve traveled to another timeline was to find materials that were rare in our timeline. Iʼve never studied whether they have their own unique ore or fauna.”

”Me too.”

”Iʼve never even been to another timeline.”

”Yeah, I never saw the point.”

”Iʼve only been there once to save my beloved Pingʼer. Alas, I still lost her a second time.”

”Since we donʼt know about the material, letʼs focus on the refining process.”

”I have something. The Flame Technique used is a combination of our world and a technique from the Wood Cradle World.”

”Isnʼt that where the Venerable Pill Sage lives?”

”Now that you mention it, I had the honor of watching the Venerable Pill Sage refine an elixir, and the flame technique does resemble the one used on this ship.”

”Are you saying the Venerable is connected to this thing?”

”Not him, but his home world.”

”Isnʼt it a little too early to say that?”

”Maybe not,” Wang Bo suddenly said. ”Most of the Runes and techniques used on this ship differ from our timeline, but if you look closer, you will see that they share a similar root to the refining technique from the Wood Cradle World.”

”Are you saying the technique used on this ship is from an alternate world of the Wood Cradle World?” Wang Wei asked.

”Exactly. Something must have happened to deviate the technique from our timeline, but their roots are similar,” Wang Bo nodded.

”That is something,” Wang Wei said with a furrowed brow.
