Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Wang Wei was in a trance-like state as he remembered the black lightning that destroyed these three mercenaries. He reviewed the process over and over in his mind, entering a state of enlightenment. After what felt like an eternity, he muttered: "That's how it is."

He saw the path of Heavenly Dao Control and even the levels after that.

"Unfortunately, I need to become an Emperor to reach such a level." Even if he broke the Nine Extremity Limit and achieved Third Class strength, he could not reach the level of control because of the lack of Grand Dao Source. However, the moment he entered that realm, he no longer had to spend time creating it.

"Is this the reward for being an Era Son?" Wang Wei felt it was too easy to directly see how innately capable Heavenly Dao was at controlling laws. It should not be this easy, even with his monster-level comprehension. As such, he guessed this was a gift from True Heavenly Dao.

"I really am a protagonist," he said with a wry smile. He shook his head to look in the distance. He saw Wrath and some other devil watching the battle and the subsequent aftermaths.

He did not contact them; he only activated the formation on his clothes to grow back to their original shape. Then, he teleported to the Nine Devil God World, leaving this continent.

"Thank Heavens that nothing happened to you," said Li Jun.

"What can happen to him?"

"Another death or near-death experience."

Wang Wei's lips twitched; he did not have a counter, so he changed the subject, "Did you report to the sect?"

"I did, but they haven't arrived yet."

"They should be here but decided not to show up publicly."

As soon as he said these words, Sword One appeared behind him as if she was always there.

"How long have you been here?"

"Long enough to know," she replied, with the stoic mask. "Let's return home."

"No problem," replied Wang Wei before remembering something. "Was there a vision showing a Heaven Chosen fallen?"

"No."

"Even before the changes to the devil continent?" he asked, thinking about all the geniuses who died after the foreign invasion.

"There was no vision."

"So, someone did kill Fang Lijuan," commented Li Jun.

"The little girl from the Divine Dao League? What happened to her?" The group explained the situation to Sword One, and she replied, "Do you want to use such an excuse to plunder the Divine Dao League?"

"Forget it; they are poor enough that it's not worth it," Wang Wei shook his head. Currently, he wanted nothing but peace and tranquility until the final battle. "Plus, I'm sure many people are already on edge with your Eternal Strength. So, let's not rock the boat."

"How do you know about my strength?" she asked, amused.

"Well, you've disappeared, and you're now back: it's not hard to guess," replied Wang Wei. "Plus, your aura is different, more ethereal and confident."

"Good observation, as always," she said. "Alright, let's hurry home: there are things for you to discuss and decide as the sect master."

Sword One took one step, and the entire group appeared before the entrance portal connected to the Lifeless Domain. Even with her ability, she cannot directly teleport to the Myriad Emperor World because of Wu Hong's seal.

After passing through the gate, she took one more step, and space bent to her will. In an instant, the group arrived outside the Dao Opening Sect before flying in. Sword One sent the others to the Li Clan Mountain before taking Wang Wei directly into a secret realm to meet with Origin One.

Then, the two told him about the recent attack on the world and their discovery of the Spirit Genesis Sect.

"What do you think?" asked Origin One in his usual calm tone.

"Are there any restrictions on using planar warfare to intervene in another world's Heaven Will Battle?"

"You mean an invasion similar to what the devil race did?"

"Yes."

"There are. Heavenly Dao does not care about other forms of invasions. But when it is close to the Heaven Will Battle, the invaders have to announce their invasion and give the invaded time to prepare. However, all war must stop 500 years before the final battle."

"Well, war is a great way to temper genius, so it makes sense," commented Wang Wei. "Was it like that during the devil era?"

"In the early stage. However, by the middle and end, the devil could break all the rules, and True Heavenly Dao did nothing."

Wang Wei nodded, knowing it was probably the Devil Primogenitor's doing. So, he focused on this Spirit Genesis Sect and said:

"We can guess Emperor Jia's paradox can shield his sect's action from True Heavenly Dao."

"That's the only explanation that makes sense."

"What's your plan to deal with them?" asked Sword One.

"Right now? Nothing. I only want peace. However, I will send my Fate Shadow Guard into their Heaven Will Community's lower realm to gather information."

"What about the future?"

"The title of Strongest Sect is a double edge sword. Yes, it will garner people's envy. But the Luck gathered is enough to ensure the sect's prosperity and longevity. So, it must be ours," Wang Wei replied calmly. "Plus, if there is a way to really hide from True Heavenly Dao, I am very interested."

"I'm always reassured with how you do things," nodded Origin One. He did not care about the title of strongest sect. He cared about the sect surviving countless eras and passing on its legacy. And since the title can guarantee this, he will also work to acquire it.

"The final battle is approaching," said Sword One. "Do whatever requires to prepare: use all resources, if necessary."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself," added Origin One.

"He's right. With your talent, as long as you survive, you can prove the Dao in the next generation. So, makes plans to ensure your survival."

"I will."

Wang Wei briefly chatted with the two before leaving the secret room. While floating in the air, he stretched his body. "Who should I go see first? My parents or beloved wife?" A struggle appeared on his face for a moment.

"Why do I need to choose? I'm basically a god," he muttered with a sneer before instantly creating a clone. One flew to see his mother, while the other when to see his wife.

"Mom, I'm back," he yelled after landing on the Wang Clan Mountain.

"What a miracle! You actually came to see me first," said Yu Yan.

"Don't be jealous of your daughter-in-law," he responded as he hugged her. "Where is dad? Is he still in the state of enlightenment?"

"No, he finished not long after you left."

"The result?"

"He's going to temper his body," she replied with a smile.

"That's good. Which method is he using? Or did the ancestor leave with a method?"

"No, she suggested he create his own art."

"That's a good idea since it would be perfectly suited for his sword path," he commented. "What about you? How is your cultivation?"

She raised her hand, and a mass of darkness appeared. She slowly clawed Wang Wei, and he raised his hand to block her attack.

"4-Leaf. You've succeeded with the Eight Heterogeneity Foundation."

"Why do you sound surprised?"

Wang Wei smiled in embarrassment. He always knew his mother was extremely intelligent, probably capable of passing the Dao Overlord Trial if she could detect some clues beforehand. However, regarding her cultivation talent, he always evaluated her as slightly worse than Li Jun before the Chaos Qi baptism. However, it seems he was wrong.

"Anyway, how are your preparations for the plan?" he asked, changing the subject. Yu Yan gave him a look before answering, "I can now be considered a Sage-level Scholar. So, there should be no problem."

Wang Wei hesitated for a moment before telling her about his apprehension or worry regarding using a "side-door" method of proving the Dao.

"It's fine to only become a Pseudo Eternal," she replied calmly. "Didn't you say the Dusk Emperor became a Boundless Paragon without becoming an Eternal? Find how she did it, and I will attempt it in the future."

"That's a good idea," said Wang Wei. He wanted his family to become Eternals not because of strength but mainly for their survivability. He wanted them to have extra layers of protection in this cruel world–especially since he seemed to attract trouble left and right.

"The final battle is approaching. Are you mentally prepared?"

"I am."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself," said Yu Yan with a worried look. One of the things she always felt she failed as a mother was the pressure she placed on her son ever since he was young. Unfortunately, as the Wang Clan heir and the only hope of the Dao Opening Sect for a long time, this was unavoidable.

"Make sure you have ways to survive. Surviving means you have hope."

"I will."

"You have always been reliable," she said as she caressed his face. "Maybe a little too reliable."

Wang Wei only smiled.

"Your grandfather sent a message his seclusion will end soon. He can impart some wisdom about his experience."

"That's more good news."

Fate Transcending Mountain:

"Wife, I"m back. Did you miss me?"
