Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 354 - Karma Backlash



Chapter 354 - Karma Backlash

Inside a cave that was dimly lit, Wang Wei or Lou Cheng suddenly opened his eyes and exhaled out loud, then a wry smile appeared on his face.

"After two hundred years, I could only cultivate to the peak of the Supernatural Realm, and that's only because I'm the one in charge. This Lou Cheng's talent for cultivation is truly mediocre."

After stealing many fortunate encounters and using countless resources, he finally managed to engrave 50 Origin Pattern in the base of his good fortune lamp.

One of the reasons that it took so long was not because Wang Wei also had to study Lou Cheng's Innate Talent and also increase his alchemy level.

Truth be told, Lou Cheng's talent is not as bad as he said. Two hundred years is nothing compared to the 10,000 years of the life span of Supernatural Realm cultivators.

Some people will spend their entire life without being able to break through, while some will spent thousands of years to do so. It's only because Wang Wei's vision is too high that he complained.

Of course, these 200 years were not in vain.

He looked at the book in his hand that contained his writing.

"With these notes, I should be able to create a technique that replaced Lou Cheng's Innate Talent."

Wang Wei had great ambition for this technique as once succeed, it would be of great value to him–even after becoming a Great Emperor.

The essence of that technique will be to have precise control of not only his strength but even the law. That way, he can bring out more power using less.

After putting away his notes, Wang Wei finally focused on the message sent by the clones. As for his memories and comprehension of Formation in the past years, he will wait until the Secret Realm is over before taking these memories.

After reviewing the information sent over, his mouth suddenly twitched.

"This lazy guy," he muttered. The clone did not summarize and analyze the information, instead, he sent it to him to do it. What made him speechless was the fact that this was something he would do, giving all the hard work to his clone while relaxing around.

After shaking his head, he began to review the information. There was not much to take notice of with a few exceptions.

The main one is related to the new Heaven Chosen of the Loose Cultivator Alliance: Huang Yuan.

More than 700 years ago, around the time Sun Jiaolong started his war, the ranked 23rd during the Academy's Heaven Chosen, Huang Yuan–who was from the Soaring Lantern Valley–left the Southern Continent to head to the Eastern Continent.

After that he disappeared, then, another Huang Yuan appeared who was the Heaven Chosen of the Loose Cultivator Alliance.

The information stated that an anomaly was discovered as when they began to search for traces of the original Huang Yuan, he suddenly appeared and returned to his sect. However, his memories of the past hundred years were gone.

So, the Shadow began to investigate this new Huang Yuan based on the people they have inside the Loose Cultivator Alliance. They discovered the Small Thousand World that Huang Yuan was from and someone was sent to investigate.

And there was rumor of the son of a farmer who slowly entered the step of cultivation, and after a few hundred years, entered the Supernatural Realm and passed the Ascending Tribulation.

This person was Huang Yuan.

Based on this information, the Shadow managed to track down the Middle Thousand World that he ascended to. And just like that, the legend of Huang Yuan become the first person in a million years to enter the Void Shattering Realm and ascended to a Great Thousand World were prevalent in this world.

Unfortunately, the Shadow could not find the Great Thousand World that Huang Yuan ascended to; it seemed that some accident occurred during the process.

However, they speculated that this Hunag Yuan might have been a Supreme Realm powerhouse from a Great Thousand World who discovered the coordinate of the Myriad Emperor World who then proceeded to travel here in the attempt of proving the Dao.

Unfortunately, he might have encountered another accident that caused him to lose his body and only a little of his Primordial Spirit was left. So, he took over the body of Huang Yuan from the Soaring Lantern Valley.

"Why does this Huang Yuan feel like these protagonists that have to start from the lowest of worlds and slowly climb their way to the highest level? With their low background, defying the heaven and suppressing those arrogant Heaven Chosen that are born with a golden spoon on their mouth?" muttered Wang Wei.

After laughing slightly to himself, he shook his head. If this was a novel, only he can be the protagonist. Furthermore, Huang Yuan's journey was not that unique.

Throughout history, there have been many people like him, people born with extraordinary luck that slowly rose from the Lower Realm. Some of them achieved Supreme and lived for millions of years, while some also became Emperor and proved the Dao, becoming immortal.

Wang Wei did not care much about Huang Yuan's background. What he cared about was when and how did this old Huang Yuan occupy the new one.

If it was after the Academy's Tournament, then, the question is, how did he deceive Heavenly Dao? Unless the latter allowed it, this should not be possible.

If it was before the tournament, the single moment he placed his name on that book, he would have been discovered.

Wang Wei pondered for a moment. From what he knows about Heavenly Dao and his discussions with Wu Hong, he knew that its main job is to cultivate a powerful Great Emperor.

So, when it comes to outsiders like Huang Yuan who has a lot of potential, it is not beyond it to allow him to exist as he can become a high contender for the throne.

As long as he used an identity token to become a citizen of this world and has his brand labeled with the Myriad Emperor World, it is not a problem.

However, If old Huang Yuan's body possessed someone, the moment he was discovered by Heavenly Dao once he placed his name on the Heavenly Protection Book, his soul would be expelled.

After all, the latter is still considered a foreigner before he acquires the Token.

After thinking about this, Wang Wei quickly went over a file that contained all information about the original Huang Yuan. He was a very talented individual and many people in his sect placed a lot of hope on him.

And the latter delivered. In the tournament, he successfully entered the top 30 and made his sect proud. However, one thing did catch Wang Wei's attention.

During his journey back from the tournament, Huang Yuan became sick and laid in bed for a few days. The sect master of the Soaring Lantern Valley thought that something was wrong with his cultivation, so he hurried home to have the Supreme Elder check him out.

Luckily, even before arriving, Huang Yuan got better.

According to the information the Shadows gathered by reading many people's memories, many of Huang Yuan's fellow brothers and sisters, and the maids around him discovered that his personality had a slight change.

These people assumed that it was because of his recent fame and glory, or because of his recent sickness, so they did place this anomaly on the back of their heads. Plus, Huang Yuan returned to normal afterward.

'This should be the time he got possessed. And after assimilating the memories of the original Huang Yuan, he began to imitate his normal behavior,' thought Wang Wei as his brain rapidly functioned and analyzed the information in front of him.

'The Soaring Lantern Valley is a Supreme Land, so they should have treasures that can detect whether their disciples have been Body Possessed by someone else Primordial Spirit. However, they did not detect anything this time.'

'On top of that, this Huang Yuan was not discovered by Heavenly Dao and ejected out of the original owner's body. That can only mean one thing: this guy has a way to even hide from Heavenly Dao.

'His strength is not merely enough to do such a thing, so this can only be some kind of treasure. No Supreme Tier or Quasi-Emperor Artifact can do so as many people have tried using this level of weapons to kill those Immortal Heaven Chosens on the book.

'So, it can only be either a High-level Innate Treasure or an Emperor Artifact, and not an ordinary one at that."

Wang Wei's eyes lit up as he felt like he came closer to the truth.

'Emperor Artifacts are not easy to use or refine. Emperor Lineages or families have an advantage in this situation as their Artifact have either bloodline restriction or Luck restriction.

'These restrictions prevent other people from using these Artifacts even after acquiring them, but also lower the threshold for descendants to either refine and use these weapons.

'As for Innate Treasures, forget how rare they are, they are even more arrogant than Emperor Artifact because they were bred by Heaven and Earth.

'Based on his background, Huang Yuan most have had a fortunate encounter to acquire a weapon of that rank. So, if he wanted to refine it, it could only be done in a very high realm.'

Huang Yuan used to be a Supreme Realm powerhouse, so he should be able to refine the artifact after many years. However, the state he was in was most likely caused during the process of acquiring it.

In his situation, if he wanted to refine such a weapon, he could only wait until he recuperate, or…

Wang Wei placed himself in Huang Yuan's shoes to guess his actions. If it was him, he would want to use this powerful weapon to recast his foundation so that he has a better chance at the throne in the future.

And the best way to do this is to immediately refine. In his current situation of being only a Primordial Spirit, the best choice would be to use the immortality of these Heaven Chosens to rapidly refine this treasure.

Just after making such a plan, he discovered one of these people not only had the same name as him but also not from an Emperor Lineage with their powerful means.

So, it was the best choice.

Wang Wei's mouth twitched as he realized how lucky this Huang Yuan was; he was most likely a Son of Destiny in the Lower Realm.

He opened his eyes and sighed. After deducing all of this, he now knew Huang Yuan's hidden card and could guard against it. After deciding to pay more attention to him, he continued to review the other information.

To dis disappointment, nothing was found about Huo Fenghuang. The only noteworthy information was that a few days ago, the Heaven Mystery Pavillion activated their sect's Formation and blocked contact with the outside world.

As for the reason, nothing was known at the moment.

Once finished, Wang Wei prepared to leave this place. However, he suddenly felt something and looked in one direction.

"Has the Karma Backlash begun?" he muttered softly.
