Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor Chapter 130: The Di Clan

While w.a.n.g Ju was dealing with her own emotional discovery, w.a.n.g Wei was drinking tea and relaxing in the Imperial Garden.

w.a.n.g Wei was thinking about the a.s.sa.s.sin's words. The person mentioned that he was not as powerful as someone from the Western Continent. Based on the fear he felt from the a.s.sa.s.sin' soul fluctuation, he guessed that this person must have had a run-in with a very powerful Heaven Chosen, one that had a deep and lasting impact on them.

Given the information he has read, w.a.n.g Wei guessed that the a.s.sa.s.sin was referring to the Heaven Chosen born in the Di Clan, Di Tian.

Di Tian was a genius born with the power of Reincarnation. As a result of this, after his birth, many Supreme Realm powerhouses who had reached the limit of their lifespan believed that they could find the way of immortality from the power of reincarnation.

Although it is known that only Great Emperors are immortal, many cultivators--who are desperate--are not willing to just accept such a fact. As such, many people believed that their chances lied in the Dao of Reincarnation.

So, many True Monarchs attacked the Di Clan after the birth of Di Tian created a powerful vision of Samsara--the cycle of Reincarnation.

Unfortunately for these cultivators, the Di Clan is a powerful Emperor Lineage in the Western Continent that has cultivated 5 Great Emperors. Technically speaking, the Di family is more powerful than w.a.n.g Wei's w.a.n.g Family as they have cultivated one more Emperor.

As such, the birth of Di Tian was followed by countless slaughter. As a matter of fact, these cultivators knew exactly how powerful the Di family was and how deep their background was.

Unfortunately, the Western White Tiger Continent is inhabited by countless Devil Cultivators. And these devil cultivators are as ruthless to themselves as they are to other people.

So, no matter how many of them died, they still rushed to the Di's family Emperor formation without hesitation.

The battle lasted three days until the Di family discovered a way to hide the Reincarnation Power emanated from Di Tian. Even then, ever since that day, the Western Continent has not been peaceful.

Unfortunately for the devil cultivators in the Western Continent, although they are vast in number, the Di family is still the overlord of the continent.

This event took place three years before w.a.n.g Wei was born, and it shook the entire Myriad Emperor World.

The truth of the matter was that w.a.n.g Wei did not care that much about the a.s.sa.s.sin's words. The reason he was thinking about its words was to determine whether to place more surveillance on Di Tian after he returned home.

w.a.n.g Wei never believed for a second that he was invincible.

However, he always believed that he would be the last one standing. No matter whether Di Tian truly is more powerful than him now, he still believes that by the time of the Heaven Will Battle, he will have surpa.s.sed him.

Of course w.a.n.g Wei also understood that the Path of the Emperor is full of ups and downs: that nothing is set in stone. No matter how confident a candidate is, he or she will never say with absolute certainty that they can become Emperor.

As such, w.a.n.g Wei--being a person who likes to be prepared for any situation--has created a backup plan for him in the unlikely scenario that he failed to win the Heaven Will and proved the Dao.

And that plan is actually simple enough: seal himself to wash away his karma.

w.a.n.g Wei believed that after cultivating the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture] to the highest level, even if he failed in the Heaven Will Battle, he can still survive.

Afterwards, all he has to do is seal himself for countless generations to wash away his Karma, then fight in another generation. And if he fails again a second time, then he will repeat the process again.

w.a.n.g Wei believed in his firm Dao Heart that his willpower will not be destroyed--like his grandfather--after experiencing many failures.

And if he fails to survive the Heaven Will Battle, well, w.a.n.g Wei has a plan for that as well. To be precise, he has an idea that involves relying on his mysterious soul. However, as of now, he does not know whether this plan is possible yet.

While w.a.n.g Wei was lost in his own thoughts, Empress Dong Lifen was sitting next to him serving him tea.

She tried to call him a few times, however, he was unresponsive. She thought that the reason he was distracted was because of the scroll in his hand, so she reached over, taking a peak on what was written in it.

In the scroll, she saw a t.i.tle at the top followed by a list. It was written as such:

Most Unique and Powerful Cultivation Technique:

1.[Origin Path Scripture]

2.[Past, Present, and Future Buddha Book]

3.[Undead Phoenix Scroll]

4.[Empress Wu Sealing Sutra]

5.[Myriad Things Dusk Scripture]

6.[Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture]

7.[Deceiving Heaven Longevity Art]

Before Dong Lifen could finish reading the list, w.a.n.g Wei woke up from his distraction and looked at her. She immediately blushed a little as she was leaning on him while reading, however, luckily for her, his majesty did not say anything.

In order to deal with the awkward situation, she asked, "Your majesty, what is this list you are reading? Is this something from your world?"

"No, this is something that I just made up for personal reasons," responded w.a.n.g Wei while shaking his head.

Dong Lifen caught on to the fact that his majesty did not want to talk about the list, so she did not mention it again. However, things became awkward again, making her lower her head and blus.h.i.+ng again.

Luckily for her, w.a.n.g Wei started to explain his understanding of breaking to the 12th layer of the Body Refining Realm. As a person who has cultivated this realm more than 9 times, he was quite the expert.

Just like that, a week pa.s.sed by.

An urgent meeting was going on in the Great Xia courtroom.

"What happened for you to gather us together like that?" asked w.a.n.g Wei towards w.a.n.g Ju.

"Your majesty, we have just received news that Crown Prince Ji Song was also a.s.sa.s.sinated yesterday."

"Oh," responded w.a.n.g Wei with a surprise look on his face. "What exactly happened?"

"We do not know a lot of information, but we do know that the crown prince is fine, however, he still suffered from minor injuries," added w.a.n.g Ju.

"Do you think that it was the same a.s.sa.s.sin that attacked his majesty?" asked an official.

"No, given the distance between Great Xia and the Central Area, without a flying construct, it would be impossible for the same a.s.sa.s.sin to reach there so quickly. Not to mention the fact that said a.s.sa.s.sin was injured."

"However, from the method the a.s.sa.s.sin used, we can infer that he or she was probably also from the Death Order Palace," answered w.a.n.g Ju.

Everyone started pondering after this--especially w.a.n.g Wei.

"It seems that the Age of Conquest is rapidly approaching this trial," said w.a.n.g Wei, who then looked at Yan Liling.

"Chancellor, you need to speed up the time needed to sooth the people of the newly conquered territories."

"As for you Li Jun, you can ask the Iron Fist King to organize his kingdom's former army and partic.i.p.ate in the attack against the Fang Divine Dynasty."

Li Jun nodded, however, Yan Liling had a frown on her face after hearing this.

"Can we trust him?" she asked.

"Since I decided to take him under me, I will trust him until he proves otherwise," replied w.a.n.g Wei calmly.

After the discussion, everyone left to do their own work. However, before leaving, Yan Liling handed w.a.n.g Wei a s.p.a.ce ring with a bunch of Earth Tier Pills inside it.

w.a.n.g Wei smiled mysteriously after receiving it.

Meanwhile, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, in a military barrack that bordered the Great Wu Dynasty, Ji Song was destroying everything around him: chairs, tables, maps, and weapons

After doing that, he seemed not satisfied so he punched the wall, an act that made his bandages turn red.

"Are you done venting now?" asked Ji Su.

After hearing this, Li Song stopped moving around and sat in the one remaining seat left in the room.

"Did you find the culprit?" he asked with gritted teeth.

"No."

"Why not?"

"By the time I discovered the a.s.sa.s.sin, he was already too far away. And you know I'm not allowed to use my real strength in this trial."

"Well, tell me you at least know who it was," responded Ji Song with veins appearing all over his naked upper body.

"Probably."

"Probably? Well, do you or do you not now?"

Ji Si sighed and said, "We have received news from our informants that w.a.n.g Wei was also attacked a week ago. They have overheard that the a.s.sa.s.sin came from the Death Order Palace under the order of the Great Wu people."

"Given that you were attack a week afterwards, It is very likely that this was not a coincidence, but a premeditated attack."

After hearing this, Ji Song clenched his teeth and said, "d.a.m.n those snakes of the Great Wu Dynasty, and d.a.m.n those rats of the Death Order Palace."

"I mean, isn't there partic.i.p.ation a violation of the Hidden Rule?"

"I'm afraid not," answered Ji Su. "The Hidden Rule stated that people of higher cultivation from the Death Order Palace could not a.s.sa.s.sinate the younger generation of other sects."

"However, compet.i.tion of the same generation was allowed."

After hearing this, Ji Song became even more angry, however, he restrain himself this time before saying:

"Back then, we should have completely annihilated the Death Order Palace."
