Novel Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor Chapter 299

After arriving at Maple Leaf City, Lou Cheng did not immediately contact the seller, but instead used the branch of the Alchemy Association to find his identity; he did not want to walk into a trap.

After a brief investigation he discovered that the seller was just an ordinary cultivator at the Body Refining Realm. In order to get resources he will often go to the mountain area to fight against demonic beasts and sell their core and corpse for origin stones.

Luckily for him while there he accidentally discovered a rare herb and wanted to sell it for a high price at the Alchemy Association. However after learning that an alchemist had posted a call for this herb he was adamant about meeting him.

After reviewing the information Lou Cheng realized that there was nothing wrong so far and that the seller most likely wanted to ask him for some rare pill so he decided to meet the man.

If the price is not too exaggerated he is open to trade.

Inside a large room in the Alchemy Association Branch Lou Cheng looked at the man in front of him. He was wearing tight leather clothes that facilitated easy movement and also had some defensive ability. However he could also see that the man’s clothes were also worn out.

After checking the man’s clothes Lou Cheng observed other things about him. The man had a 9th Layer Body Refining cultivation however his blood qi was weak and scattered. Obviously he cultivated a common-level cultivation technique.

Adding to that the fact that he looked middle-aged his talent could also be determined as subpar.

You said you wanted to see me before the exchange? Tell me your purpose said Lou Cheng who seemed a little impatient.

The seller frowned for a moment then said: Well I was preparing to play a little more however since you’re in a hurry I guess I’ll get back to business.

Immediately Lou Cheng felt something was wrong; he immediately wanted to do something but to his horror he discovered that he could not move a single inch.

Meanwhile his Dao Protector also felt something was wrong so he wanted to exit the void and save Lou Cheng. However as soon as he had this intention countless strings suddenly appeared out of nowhere and binds him.

The old man immediately started to use his Fire Law to break the strings however countless runes suddenly appeared from the strings and sealed the Law inside his body.

Then a grey string entered his Sea of Consciousness and binds his soul. Immediately afterward the old man felt his consciousness rapidly losing turning him into a puppet. He only resisted for a few seconds before he was completely turned.

The seller–who had a smirk on his face–raised his hand and placed it on Lou Cheng’s forehead then he said:

[Fate Stealing]

A fate line appeared from Lou Cheng’s body wriggling around it for a moment. Then another fate line appeared from Wang Wei’s body which fused with his.

Lou Cheng’s body disintegrated into millions of pieces meanwhile Wang Wei slowly transformed into Lou Cheng’s appearance.

And it was not just his appearance his soul cultivation level physique aptitude and memories turned into the same as Lou Cheng. What he did was steal the latter’s fate thus turning into him.

With this method Wang Wei is now Lou Cheng but Lou Cheng is not Wang Wei.

After his transformation Wang Wei checked his body from head to toe. He discovered that he was exactly like Lou Cheng–even his little brother had shrunk by a few inches.

Well with this method I can even fool an Emperor Formation that checks the soul.

Then Wang Wei waved his hand to use a secret technique to create a clone that looked exactly like the previous seller. He proceeded to make it look like Lou Cheng and he had an exchange before parting their ways.

Since Lou Cheng was staying in a special room reserved for him by the Alchemy Association Wang Wei returned there. The first thing he did once he returned home was to check all of Lou Cheng’s memories.

According to the technique he used he could allow Lou Cheng’s main consciousness to be in charge of this body while he stayed in the background but he did not want to do this for many reasons.

Although this method was safe and lowered the risk of being discovered due to strange and out-of-character behavior he wanted to be in charge in case something unexpected occurred and the real consciousness of Lou Cheng is powerless.

After checking the guy’s memory Wang Wei muttered: No wonder this guy actually took my bait. It turns out that he cultivates a special technique that can actually raise his talent of alchemy.

Talent in alchemy can be divided into three categories: understanding of herbs and how they interact with one another. This part of talent can be made up with years of study however some talented individuals can hold a herb in their hands for the first time and immediately know its characteristics and how to match it with other herbs.

The second category revolves around divine runes and how to properly apply them to make pills.

Lastly it is the talent to control flames. The better an alchemist is at controlling flames the more power he or she can bring from the ingredients used in making pills.

The cultivation that Lou Cheng cultivated allowed him to slowly increase his talent for Flame Control. However Wang Wei quickly realized that this cultivation technique was incomplete.

Furthermore after reviewing how Lou Cheng got this technique his intuition told him that something was wrong. Unfortunately he did not have enough information to make any kind of judgment

After reviewing all of Lou Cheng’s memories Wang Wei did not immediately return to the Origin Pill Dao Sect but went to the east of Maple Leaf City where there were many street vendors selling artifacts that were supposedly found in Secret Realm.

He bought a very ancient small mirror. With his True Vision ability he knew that this was just a normal mirror not an ancient artifact from the Ancient Emperor Era like the street vendor said.

The reason he bought this mirror was that he realized that it was actually very old probably dating to the last era and further.

After that Wang Wei took a carriage heading back. In fact Wang Wei wanted to take a Soaring Phoenix Construct unfortunately in Lou Cheng’s memory he discovered that this guy was quite old-fashioned and hated the constructs.

He did not like the fact that mortals and cultivators’ lives became entangled with one another. To him these two people belong to different worlds and should remain as such. So when it comes to these constructs that brought these different worlds together he refused to use any of them.

Wang Wei was not surprised by this as many cultivators felt that way. To them the world was changing too fast and they did not like that.

Huh? softly muttered Wang Wei as he felt something. He raised his head and looked in the distance. His vision seemed to penetrate a few hundred thousand kilometers as he saw 5 Saints Realm cultivators blending in the void hiding their auras.

Although they try to hide it I can feel that these guys have killing intent for this Lou Cheng….It seemed that things are not peaceful in the Origin Pill Dao Sect.

Wang Wei thought for a moment about how to deal with the situation before deciding to get rid of these people. His current priority was to get back to the sect and secure his identity.

So he flicked his fingers making the void tremble lightly. Then another space fluctuating appeared on the location of these Saints. As a result they immediately felt something was wrong and wanted to react.

However a bunch of strings suddenly appeared and cut them into millions of pieces; they did not have time to scream move or open their Domains for protection. Even their Primordial Spirit did not have time to escape their bodies and was cut into pieces.

Nodding his head in satisfaction Wang Wei continued his journey in peace. However he did not slowly go there as he planned. Instead he had his Dao Protector carry him back as he did previously.

As soon as Wang Wei arrived at the Origin Pill Dao Sect the first thing he noticed was that the sect was built on top of countless volcanoes making the surrounding area always surrounded by heat.

Inside these volcanoes were caves where most of the lower disciples resided. This was a way to allow the ones with low levels of cultivation to use the heat from the volcano to make pills. After all only after entering the Divine Sea Realm can cultivators use spells.

After taking a quick look at the surroundings Wang Wei headed straight to the cave on the highest peak.
