Novel Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor Chapter 524

Recultivating does not alway mean an increase in strength, but the people who can actively choose to do so are usually the determining kind. After all, how many people can abandon all their years of cultivation, turning themselves into weak mortals? If something goes wrong, they do not have ways to protect themselves.

So the fact that Jingwu Hua walked that path showed at the very least that she is a person of strong Will. People who can survive the sealing process to wash away their karma are people with high-level Dao Hearts so Jingwu Hua’s achievements are not that abnormal logically.

After checking her out Wang Wei focused on someone else: Mo Xingyun. He had suspicions about her since he knew that Devouring Dao was an outlaw but she seemed perfectly fine without the outlaw aura or the need to undergo the trial.

At first Wang Wei thought she was using a tactic similar to Emperor Nine Suns where she hid her real Dao and only used the ability of her physique. But now he had a feeling something more complicated was at play.

‘Could she really be the pawn of the Heaven Devour Emperor?’

Based on what he knew and analyzed from the Heaven Devour Emperor he was a selfish cultivator who only did things that benefitted him. So Wang Wei always wondered why he had descendants and even left the opportunity to inherit his Devour Physique.

And after hearing about how some Emperors used their descendant to revive themselves he had suspicions about Mo Xingyun.

‘What the Heaven Devour Emperor did almost destroyed the Myriad Emperor World. After his exile to the Eternal Ascension World some former Emperors might have visited him and made him pay for his actions’ thought Wang Wei.

This was one of the reasons he could think of for the Heaven Devour Emperor to need to use the backhand he left in the lower dimension.

Since his name and deed in history still remained it meant he was alive. However it is also possible that the Myriad Emperor World’s previous Emperors destroyed his body and soul. So he needed Mo Xingyun’s help to revive.

Of course Wang Wei also acknowledged it could be something entirely different for Mo Xingyun’s weirdness. He squinted his eyes as he analyzed all his information on her.

He knew the weirdness began after the Academy’s Trial. Back then he could easily read her Fate Line and nothing appeared abnormal about her. So what happened after that which changed her?

‘The Gluttony Swallowing Scripture. Not long afterward she possessed it so it could be the catalyst for her change.’

Wang Wei quickly denied this conclusion because she appeared normal during the beach party where he planted the secret karma thread on her. Then he suddenly squinted his eyes and realized the line was gone.

He did not even notice it was gone until now adding to another anomaly.

‘Could an immortal powerhouse have removed it for her?’

Wang Wei denied this possibility. Wu Hong placed a seal on those threads to prevent detection from this level of cultivators. She told him the only way for a person to remove the thread is for the people who have it on them to detect it with their ability and remove them themselves.

‘So is Mo Xingyun this powerful now? Or is she now a master of Karma Dao?’

Wang Wei felt he was missing something and his brain rapidly worked. Then he remembered someone: Zhang Xuan from the Dao Worshipping Academy. Mo Xingyun has been after his number 7 Boundless Void Physique for many years.

Wang Wei used the Karma Thread he placed on the latter during the beach episode to check on his situation since he was not here.

‘Dead? No but very close. Plus he lost his Heavenly Physique.’

He discovered the latter had only his Primordial Spirit left but it was so faint that it appeared as if it would disappear at any time. What’s more the Law Fragment from his soul was no longer present.

‘So Mo Xingyun finally got him. Is he the catalyst for her change?’

Unfortunately there was too little information so Wang Wei decided to observe her in the secret realm. While deep thinking Wang Wei sensed something and looked in another direction.

And he was not the only one. All the people present looked in the same direction whether women or men old or young rich or poor and handsome or ugly.

A woman of unparalleled beauty stood on top of a magical artifact in the shape of a golden lotus with two people behind her. Unfortunately her beauty eclipsed these people so much that no one even noticed them.

The most beautiful woman of this generation: Xu Shi muttered one of the cultivators present.

Despite her eyes Xu Shi remained composed without a single hint of emotions on her face. Unlike her previous bright color dresses she now had black martial clothes that fitted her body perfectly suited for battle. Furthermore she had the aura of a powerhouse forcing people to no longer see her as just a pretty face.

She glanced at everyone present before stopping on Wang Wei for a few seconds. Without saying anything else she took a spot to wait.

Everyone then waited as the bright golden light in the distance slowly thinned out indicating the secret realm was about to open. Wang Wei looked around as he noticed some people did not show up.

Sun Jiaolong the Sea Race the demonic race–which was understandable–and more importantly the Yang Clan’s Emperor Offspring. He thought he would show up since the Golden Crow came.

After a few hours of waiting the light disappeared and a space channel appeared. The people around looked at each other wondering who would be the first to enter.

However Jingwu Hua turned into a golden flame and rushed toward the entrance. Her action seemed to have sparked the competitive spirit of the other Heaven Chosens so they rushed toward the entrance as well with maximum speed.

Only a few people waited outside: Feng Heng Huang Yuan Wang Wei and his group Zhen Biyu and Xu Shi.

Wang Wei glanced at her with a slight surprise. Feng Heng and Huang Yuan are old geezers that have probably lived for a million years at the minimum so he understood their cautions.

Zhen Biyu’s Pure Heart and Mind makes her uninterested in competitions such as this. But he did not expect Xu Shi to be so cautious. However thinking about what she experienced it’s normal for her to be careful when doing things.

Wang Wei looked at the space channel and sensed nothing happened. to the people inside. He then did quick divination to determine possible danger for him. After not finding anything he looked in the sky as he sensed Ancestor Wucheng’s presence. He guessed many immortal powerhouses were secretly watching this secret realm so he became reassured.

In the Qi Luck Trial he used the name of the [Deceiving Heaven Longevity Art] to lure many of his competitors to a secret realm before exploding it. He did not want the same tactic to be used against him.

Then he flew to the channel with his group.

Wang Wei found himself in a spacious environment with all the people who entered waiting. He saw the Heaven Chosens waiting at the front so he flew and landed there as well.

In front of him was a child floating in the air. The odd thing was he only had an upper torso while his lower part resembled that of a genie from Earth. Furthermore the child had a weird mask on his face; half the mask had a naive smile and the other had a cunning and vicious one.

Now that everyone is here we can begin the child said but his voice was that of an old woman instead of a child.

‘A Secret Realm Spirit that embodies [deception]? This Gu Xuan might be a man who enjoys spectacles’ thought Wang Wei.

My name is Qin Wentian but you can call me Lord Spirit. As you can guess this secret realm is to select worthy candidates to inherit my master’s scripture.

Now let’s begin the first stage selection.

The Lord Spirit waved his hand to manifest countless tokens which then flew around the candidates and scanned them. Not even a few seconds of scanning the token landed in Wang Wei’s hand.

Then two tokens floated in front of Yan Liling and Li Jun. After scanning them the token seemed to look at them and Wang Wei before flying away.

The selection process took over an hour and to everyone’s surprise only six people were chosen: Wang Wei Feng Heng Huo Fenghuang Jingwu Hua Xu Shi and Tong Ruobing.

Congratulations to the six of you; you are qualified for the next round.

Lord Spirit are these the only people? asked one of the cultivators.

That’s correct.

Isn’t that unfair?

It is. But if you feel you are more qualified you are more than happy to take it from them.

With these words 95% of people have already given up.

When is the next round? asked Wang Wei.

In one month.

Can we bring other people with us?

If you wish to do so. As he said these words it seemed as if the cunning side of his mask became alive and was smiling.

Wang Wei squinted his eyes before asking: Are there going to be Heaven Chosens from other world communities in the second round?

Hmmm muttered Lord Spirit as he focused on Wang Wei looking at him up and down. Very astute. You’re correct; there will be many of them.

The other four immediately became serious as they realized it would not be so easy to get this inheritance. However a fighting intent soon flashed across these people’s eyes; they wanted to compete with Heaven Chosen of other World Communities to see who was better.

Wang Wei was also excited but not only because he could compete with Heaven Chosens of other world communities. It was also because the opportunity to expand his Soul Network finally arrived.

By then he won’t have to worry about gathering resources for his incarnations.

Are there any more questions? asked Lord Spirit. In that case you can leave.
