Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor Chapter 1216 Gifts

Chapter 1216  Gifts

The army leader took a deep breath to calm down, which was challenging for her since most people would bow down to her when she showed up anywhere. However, dealing with these ancient lineages was usually infuriating, and the Origin Seal Continent was the worst since their leader was alive and a potent threat despite her current state.

"We are only searching for a criminal. Once we find out that you're not hiding it, we will leave," she persuaded. "So, just be reasonable."

"I am being reasonable," the mayor replied. "After all, I'm not stopping you from searching. I merely warned you of your fate if you do so."

A ruthless light flashed in the commander's eyes. "All members of the Seven Moon Council wished to capture this criminal, yet you insist on not cooperating. Are you sure you're ready for the consequences?"

"All of you can enter; I'm not stopping you," the mayor reb.u.t.ted with her usual smile. "The question is how many of you will return."

The commander clenched her fists so hard that sparks flew due to the friction of the metal from her armor. The council ignored the Origin Seal Continent because of this fear. Even if all of them besieged her, many of them would die in the process. One of the Sun Rulers also placed her on the protection list, meaning that Twin Flower would never fight against her. The hidden moon was too cowardly to make an enemy out of her.

Lastly, the others would not want to risk their lives to eliminate her, so they just ignored her as long as she didn't go too far. Unfortunately, over the years, the Origin Seal Continent has become a symbol that their power was not absolute.

"You'll regret this," the commander declared with raging eyes. She ordered her man to retreat, and a formation manifested above their heads to teleport them away. The mayor sneered before returning to her mansion.

"As expected of the Sect Madam," w.a.n.g Qi muttered. "I can't wait for the sect master to have this level of power. I bet he'll be even more domineering."

"Is that so?"

w.a.n.g Qi was shocked, and before he could react, his surroundings had changed. When he saw the beautiful woman opposite him, he instinctively said: "Sect Madam, I mean, Empress." He quickly bowed to show his respect.

"You can be at ease," Wu Hong stated calmly. "Why are you here?"

"I came to send the sect master's regards," w.a.n.g Qi said. He suddenly realized he was in too much of a hurry and should have asked the sect master for a handwritten note. However, it was too late, so he decided to improvise. "He wanted you to know he was here and was doing fine."

"Is that so?" Wu Hong muttered. She thought briefly, and as she was about to say something, she sensed something outside the cultivation room. She sighed mentally before opening the formation. "What do you want?"

"I sense someone with the sect's luck has arrived. I thought the kid came to see you," Yan Hai replied.

"Ancestor," w.a.n.g Qi said in surprise before bowing even deeper. If his wors.h.i.+p of Wu Hong was more out of fear for her strength, this one was out of respect for his sect's founder.

"You can stand up," Yan Hai nodded. "Hmm, I don't recognize you, but you have Turtle's aura."

"The Turtle Sh.e.l.l Emperor was the one who gifted my immortality."

"Since you're alive, I'm guessing you did not abandon your role as guardian?"

"I would never," w.a.n.g Qi quickly said. "The sect master needed some talent, and he chose me."

"That's good," Yan Hai nodded. "How is that boy w.a.n.g Wei doing? Has he contacted the sect?"

"In a manner of speaking," w.a.n.g Qi replied. "The sect master doesn't want to get the sect too involved, but they've provided resources as a starting fund."

"Not getting the sect involved? That's something Brother Qishan would have done," Yan Hai muttered. "Did they treat him well? Or do I need to intervene?"

"Yes. The sect master was very satisfied with the aid."

"Don't beat around the bush and speak." Yan Hai had dealt with enough of these slimy advisors to know what they were thinking.

"Well, the sect master is looking for unique resources for his body refining. I tried to convince him to ask the sect for help or even the Empress, but he was being stubborn," w.a.n.g Qi explained.

"Body Refining? Is he looking for Dao Monarch Qianwu's inheritance? He doesn't need to hurry and should take this time to open the Gate of Power."

"He's already done that."

"What?" Yan Hai was genuinely surprised, especially since she knew the plan was for Desolate to guide him through the tribulations.

"Yes, and he's also an Empyrean," w.a.n.g Qi added.

"Seriously?" Yan Haid said, and even Wu Hong showed a surprised look. "I knew he would have a lot of merit after creating so many Memorialized Lucks, but this is something else. He's probably the youngest Empyrean in history, even with time formation.

"No, not just the youngest Empyrean, but the youngest person to achieve Tier 11 in both paths.

w.a.n.g Qi wanted to brag about this sect master before the sect madam but decided not to be too obvious. Anyway, the sect master's accomplishments spoke for themselves.

Yan Hai turned to look at Wu Hong.

"Why are you looking at me?"

"He's your husband, and I'm currently using all my tier 11 body refining resources."

"He's not my husband," she corrected.

"Husband, Husband seed, preparatory husband, husband to be — all the same."

Wu Hong wanted to curse. She did not know how long she had wished that her rigid Time Nexus was not a husband but a pair of sworn brothers like this lucky woman—especially after learning about the man's ident.i.ty and how complicated seniority would become.

Wu Hong sighed before summoning two boxes with runes engraved. She opened the first one to reveal a clear drop of blood containing the cosmos. w.a.n.g Qi immediately felt a terrifying pressure weighing on him. He might have been forced to kneel without the box's suppression.

"This is from an Adult FiendG.o.d with s.p.a.ce Primordial Law. And the second one is from an Elder FiedG.o.d with Life Primordial Law. I have nothing related to fate, so those must do."

"I'm sure, no, I know, the sect master will appreciate it," w.a.n.g Qi swiftly said.

"Do you want to give him the 11 and 12th revolution you've created?" Wu Hong asked.

"No. Let him create his version. Then, we can compare and maybe fuse the best parts into a supreme technique," Yan Hai replied before focusing on w.a.n.g Qi. "I can't let you go empty-handed. I don't want that boy to start saying his ancestor is cheap." Yan Hai summoned a small tree on her palm surrounded by a golden light.

"This is a Peach Tree of Wisdom; its function is the same as the Bodhi Tree, and its rank is Tier 12. Tell him I'm not giving it to him but lending it since the tree is not mine but the sect's public property.' She took this thing to Ultimate Taboo to help her understand if they found a Transcendent Method. As such, she never had a chance to return it.

"I will tell him," w.a.n.g Qi nodded as he carefully put the tree away.

"Anything else?" Yan Hai asked. "If he needs any help, you can ask now."

"I think that's it for now," w.a.n.g Qi replied. "The sect master has a plan and is executing them. So, I think everything will be fine."

"That's good to hear," Yan Hai nodded. "If he can kill these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, our people can return, and we can work together to find a way to kill or exile Supreme Unity. Things can return to normal again."

"What if he fails?" Wu Hong asked.

"Then, we'll use Plan B."

"Which is?"

"You and I go on a rampage and kill these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds," Yan Hai said. "We might die, but it will be worth it since the others can find a way to revive us from Limbo."

"You make it sound so simple."

"Isn't it?"

"Most of us had our [Existence] damage, so even reviving, our strength will be weakened," Wu Hong explained. "We can use abundant resources to fix the problem, but it will still take time. How many people will revive knowing they will be weakened and someone as powerful as Supreme Unity above their heads?

"Not to mention Maitreya. You might believe her, but many others won't. In their eyes, she might be as bad as him. The problem was never these eight parasites, but the other two."

"You may be correct, but you also can't disagree that removing these eight will make the situation much less complicated — especially that slimy Time Eater," Yan Hai replied. "I don't know what he's planning, but my intuition tells me I won't like it."

w.a.n.g Qi stood silently to the side, wondering whether he should be listening to these things. However, he realized this was significant news he could bring to the patriarch.
