Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Wang Wei spent a few days continuing healing as he waited for Li Jun’ subordinate to bring the kid named Wu Ming to him. Luckily, he did not have to wait long as five days later, a new group of people arrived at his base.

What surprised Wang Wei was the fact that the leader of this group was actually Yan Liling, the niece of Great Elder Yan Mei.

Wang Wei then gave Li Jun a weird look, who then proceeded to smile wryly without saying anything. Since Li Jun did not mention it, Wang Wei ignored him as this involved his privacy.

However, given the complex political situation in the sect, Yan Liling’s presence was in fact no accident, and Li Jun should be aware of this.

Soon, Yan Liling brought Wu Ming in front of Wang Wei and Li Jun. The kid was tied up with rope, various friction marks could be seen all over his body. Despite his current situation, he did not stop trying to break out of the rope.

After dismissing Li Jun’ subordinate, Wang Wei looked at the tied up kid and said, "Wu Ming, right? You could either take out all of the things in your space ring, or we can kill you and take it out ourselves? You have five breaths to decide."

After saying this, Wang Wei, Li Jun, and Yan Liling looked at Wu Ming on the ground without saying a word. It only took him a few moments for him to succumb to the pressure and emptied out his new found space ring.

Then, the three of them started to look at the materials taken out. There were countless jade bottles, a bunch of rusted weapons, and a thick book.

Li Jun opened a few bottles to check the medicine inside, however, all of them were either rotten with a pungent smell or turned into powder the moment they were exposed to the air.

Suddenly, Yan Liling said. "This is a Body Strengthen Pill, this one a Sea Expansion Pill, and a Soul Nourishing Pill." After that, she continued to name most of the pills in the containers simply based on the smell alone.

Wang Wei frowned as he had never heard of these pills, as did Li Jun, so he asked. "Liling, what kind of pills are these?"

"The majority of these pills are very old and are in fact prototypes of current pills such as the Blood Qi Pill or the Divine Sea Expansion Pill. And the recipe for some of these pills have been lost for countless years."

Wang Wei noticed how these two people were talking so intimately and casually as if they had known each other for many years. He just gave them a look, then proceeded to check the weapons.

"All of these weapons no longer have any spiritual energy in them and the metals have been corroded by the passage of time. Moreover, the refining seemed very rough and did not use the full potential of all the materials."

Li Jun and Yan Liling walked over to check the weapons on the ground. The three of them seemed to have forgotten poor Wu Ming.

"How long have these things existed?" asked Li Jun. Wang Wei picked up the book and responded. "Let us find out."

Wang Wei then opened the first page. The first thing he noticed was the fact the font of the book was extremely small despite the thickness of the book.

Li Jun suddenly said. "Ancient scripts? This has never been my strong point."

Throughout the history of the world, the language has gone through many revisions, as such, there are countless variations of it. Of course, there is one exception, that is the Dao Text.

This language is used by cultivators when creating cultivation techniques or methods in order to properly explain the profound meanings or laws contained in them. As such, the Dao text is probably the oldest language in existence in the Myriad Emperor World.

As part of their aristocratic education, both Wang Wei, Li Jun, and Yan Liling had to learn all kinds of language as a child. The language class is necessary as it is a way to enlighten young children of the ways of the world, and to prepare them just in case they one day enter a very old secret realm and can translate the things they received in there.

Wang Wei began to translate the text and read it out loud:

"If you are reading this, it means that you are my descendant and my plan has succeeded. From now on, our lineage finally has an heir."

"Before I begin to explain my story, I would like to curse All 18 generations of Shi Hai’s family. I hope all of your relatives and descendants--both direct and distant--to die a painful death and never reincarnated. As for you, Shi Hai, I hope you are castrated, then rape by more than 10,000 men for 10,000 years."

After reading there, Wang Wei paused due to being speechless. How much hatred does this guy have for this Shi Hai?

Suddenly, Yan Liling said, "Isn’t Shi Hai the real name of Emperor Haiyuan, the Formation Ancestor?"

"That can’t be right," answered Li Jun, "The Formation Ancestor was a Great Emperor from the Ancient Emperor Era. Are you telling me this book is this old?"

Wang Wei frowned and started thinking. The history of the Myriad Emperor Plane is very long, spawning billions of years. As such, it is divided into 9 Eras; the Chaos Era, Primordial Era, Beginning Emperor Era, the Void Era, the Ancient Emperor Era, the Incense or Faith Era, the Devil Era, the Middle Emperor Era, and the New Emperor Era.

Wang Wei knows that there is very little information left about the first 4 Eras except for the fact that there were countless powerful Primordial Gods and Innate Lifeforms in the Primordial era. However, the majority if not all of them are now extinct.

As for the Beginning Emperor Era, all the information available is that a human referred to as the Heaven Opening Emperor became the first Great Emperor of the entire world, thus starting the era of the Great Emperor reigning supreme.

As for the Void era, Wang Wei knew that there is absolutely no information about it--even from the secret archive of the sect. He once asked his grandfather, and he told him that most cultivators came to the conclusion that something happened in the Void era that basically erased the entire world’s history.

The furthest information that still remains about the world’s history started from the Ancient Emperor era to the current New Emperor Era.

After taking a brief moment to think about all of these things, Wang Wei said, "We’ll know if he is talking about the same person. More importantly, why does the owner of this book have so much hatred for this so-called Shi Hai?"

After saying this, the three of them continued to read on. It turned out the owner was indeed talking about Emperor Haiyuan, the Ancestor of Formation.

To be exact, this book or journal explained in detail a story about love, envy, and betrayal between two sworn brothers.

The owner of the book named Wu Ye--who is in fact the ancestor of Wu Ming--was in the same sect as Emperor Haiyuan, who was known as Shi Hai before crowning himself Great Emperor.

They both studied formation. Due to the Void Era, civilization had basically returned to zero. As such, many things were either incomplete or starting over. For example, the Dao of Formation.

During that time, the Dao of Formation was not as systemic as today. There was no division such as Profound, Earth, and Heaven...etc. In fact, there were not even as many different kinds of formation as today.

In order to fix the situation, the cultivators of that era knew that they needed someone to prove the Dao and become a Great Emperor with the Dao of Formation. Such a person would be granted the title of Formation Ancestor and leave a lasting glory for future descendants.

As such, a world wide race began. Many cultivators began to study runes and formation in order to be the first to prove the Dao. In fact, the situation was the same for other occupations like alchemy, weapons refining, and talisman. Everyone wanted the title of [Ancestor].

Then, came Wu Ye and Shi Hai, sworn brothers who entered the same sect to study formation. Shi Hai had an unparalleled talent for formation, while Wu Ye’s was quite mediocre.

However, Wu Ye was a hard working and very dedicated person. More importantly, he was very clever, a true genius in his own right. As such, he was not discouraged by his lack of talent. He hoped to find a way around this problem.

And he succeeded in doing so. Unfortunately, this was the very reason that led to his eventual downfall. That and his unwavering trust in his sworn brother, Shi Hai.
