Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1541  The War Temple & Pill Realm

”Thatʼs not an excuse,” Wu Hong replied. She was sure that plenty of people from Earth who lived under capitalism did not turn out as terrible as he did. Unfortunately, as horrible as he was, he was her little monster. She waved her hand to summon a complex magic circle above the inner core. Wu Hong took her time perfecting the array before slowly lowering it to the ground and fusing it with the Void Illusion Realm.

”We are good. right?” Wang Wei asked.

”Not yet,” Wu Hong replied as she focused on Zhenshi. She clenched her hands, generating a powerful shield that surrounded the spirit before crushing her into spiritual dust.

Wu Hong drew a few runes in the void, which proceeded to absorb Zhenshiʼs spirit dust before condensing a new spirit.

Wang Wei looked at the tiny creature with four wings. ”Now, weʼre good?”

”Yes. This new spirit is designed to fight against Ma Liquiuʼs system and buy you as much time as possible.”

”Excellent,” Wang Wei smiled while condensing a token to hand to her.

”Whatʼs this?”

”Access to the soul energy reserve — you should need for your Soul Quintessence.”

”Thanks,” Wu Hong nodded as she put the token away.

”Have you made a plan?”

”About what?”

”About whether youʼre going to take the next step as soon as possible, or continue to perfect your foundation?”

”I was planning on traveling to the Infinite Trichiliocosm to get the Immeasurable Emperor Title after finishing with the Thirteen Transcendent Foundation, maybe even find a way to make up for missing the Emperor Taboo Realm,” Wu Hong revealed truthfully.

”Then, you better hurry up,” Wang Wei warned. ”According to my prediction, the calamity will happen between 20,000 and 40,000 Yuan Epoch.”

”So soon?” Wu Hong said. This was not much time, especially considering all the things she needed to do. After all, she hasnʼt even modified Maitreyaʼs technique to fit her.

”I wish my prediction were more accurate, but as you know, there are too many Primordial Saints involved in this disaster, and this is the best Divination I can do.”

”No need to blame yourself,” Wu Hong reassured. Most Diviners would die or suffer severe backlash, trying to get as close to a date as he did, so she would not blame him for not being as accurate as possible.

”I think Iʼll have to wait to see how the situation develops before making a choice,” Wu Hong replied.

”Thatʼs probably the best move,” Wang Wei nodded. If Maitreya can buy enough time, then Wu Hong can focus on establishing her foundation. However, if things are dire, she must concentrate on raising her cultivation.

”Well, itʼs time to leave.” Wang Wei kissed her before teleporting away. As soon as he arrived home, he sensed something and smiled. He glanced at the new mountain in the distance with the name: Pill Sage Mountain. He did not hesitate to teleport above the large mansion that smelled like herbs. As soon as he arrived, a bright light flew into his arm.

”Youʼve ascended?”

”Itʼs been a while,” Yan Liling said as she held him tightly. ”I came to see you, but they said you were in retreat.”

”You should understand the current situation. I need to get stronger as soon as possible. Let me see you,” Wang Wei ended the tight hug to better observe her situation. Yan Liling had her Alternative Dao Root Foundation, Emperor Taboo Battle Realm, 11th revolution bloodline, Limit Indestructibility, Peak Empyrean Realm, Empyrean Battle Taboo Realm, Paragon Soul, and a Paragon Willpower.

”Excellent. It seems you did your best in the lower dimension, and the sect also spent much effort on training you after your ascension.”

”They did,” Yan Liling nodded.

”I left instruction for that Old Man Wang Bo to be your teacher. Did he accept you?”

”I had to take a test, but yes, afterward, the old man refused to leave me alone.”

”Hey, girl, this is the way you should be talking to your master,” said a deep voice from the mansion. However, Wang Bo did not show up. So, Wang Wei just nodded to salute.

”Boy, I heard rumors that you are engaged to the Empress?”

”Of course.”

”Tch, Iʼm so envious. You better treat her well.”

Wang Weiʼs lips twitched: ”Old Man, you and I will have a problem if you keep thinking about my wife like that.”

”Alright, alright, I know I donʼt have a chance. Anyway, I wonʼt get in the way of your reunion anymore.”

Wang Wei shook his head before focusing on Yan Liling.

”Letʼs have a small dinner like old times.”

”Are you sure? It seems the ancestors are waiting for you.”

”I should have a few minutes before I have to see them.”

”Alright.”

Yan Liling guided him to her kitchen. Wang Wei immediately began preparing the food, while Yan Liling mixed the drink, a unique concoction of her own.

”I donʼt sense Li Jun, so Iʼm guessing he continued training with the Yama Kings.”

”Thatʼs right. He said he wanted to give you a surprise when you see him, and it should save the sect a lot of resources.”

”Heʼs as practical as ever,” Wang Wei chuckled. Regardless, he was looking forward to their reunion. ”How was your reign?”

”I think it was great,” Yan Liling answered. ”Junʼer built the War Temple as his legacy. He gained permission from the Yama Kings to summon projections of talented Emperors from other Chaos Worlds. His temple was even more popular than the Dream Worldʼs Battle Tower.”

”Thatʼs a great idea. The lower dimension talent will now have a much larger talent pool to compete against,” Wang Wei praised. ”But, why are you giving me this strange look?”

”Well, the War Temple doesnʼt just allow people to fight against the imprints of foreign Great Emperors. They can also use the imprints of other Emperors.”

”Iʼm guessing that Di Tian and I were at the top?” Wang Wei said. Although imprints cannot fully represent an Emperorʼs power, itʼs close enough to determine the difference in strength.

”At first, that was true, but not long afterward, two anomalies showed up,” Yan Liling explained. ”The first one was someone called Tian Xuan. He defeated Di Tianʼs imprint after a long battle, but lost to you. However, someone called Heavenly Book defeated both Di Tian and Tian Xuan, and tied with you.”

Wang Wei squinted.

”It was a great shock to the lower dimension. No one thought someone rivaling you would exist, and people talked about it, well, until we ascended,” Yan Liling continued.

”However, there is more.”

”Oh?”

”Junʼer revealed the imprint was based on outdated

information. The owner did not authorize the utilization of all his strength to protect his information.”

”Interesting,” Wang Wei muttered. He was not too surprised by this news. Based on Emperor Jiaʼs cultivation, he had deduced that the Heavenly Book was an extreme version of Di Tian. The madman has most likely reincarnated and become an Eternal Emperor nine times as a form of

transcendent foundation. In fact, Wang Wei even believed that the latter has cultivated to the Peak of the Paragon Realm nine times, achieving an even more advanced form of transcendent foundation technique.

As such, he would not be surprised if Heavenly Book were more powerful than he as an Emperor.

”Are you alright?”

”Of course.”

”No need to lie,” Yan Liling said. ”I know you, and the way you reacted tells me you know who Heavenly Book is, and he may even be an enemy.”

”Heʼs just someone whoʼs been lurking around me with an unknown purpose. While heʼs a threat, Iʼm already aware of his existence and keeping an eye out,” Wang Wei said truthfully. One of the reasons he decided to stay in the shadows during the disaster was his weariness toward the Heavenly Book Paragon.

”You know you can count on me now that I have ascended?”

”Of course,” Wang Wei smiled. Yan Liling will be an immense help once her cultivation reaches the peak, or even when she becomes a Primal.

”Good,” she nodded,

”What was your legacy?” Wang Wei asked, moving on from the previous topic.

”The Pill Realm,” she explained. ”I used Junʼerʼs help to gain access to the imprint of foreign Pill Refiners. Then, I condense them into phantoms or remnants for people to learn or compete against. However, thatʼs not the primary objective of my legacy.

”The phantoms have sentience, like spirits, and they have been tasked to ensure the prosperity of Pill Dao in the lower dimension.”

”In what ways? Can they create pill formulas? Improve Runes or even create a new universal Rune System? Or do they just condense the luck of Pill Dao?”

”They do everything you said and more,” Yan Liling said with a smug look.

”That is indeed brilliant,” Wang Wei nodded. Yan Liling hasnʼt realized it yet, but her legacy is the perfect prototype for her Dao Quintessence. Once she reaches that level, she can just copy it or, even better, just absorb that prototype and upgrade it.
