Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor Chapter 1349 Communicating Across Eras

Chapter 1349  Communicating Across Eras

w.a.n.g Wei exhaled to calm down. Although his future was brighter than before, his current situation was still in a state of darkness before the light. He observed all the red threads around him and waved his hand. Under his control, the threads mold into this bright gem.

w.a.n.g Wei controlled his Proving Dao Artifact to turn into a headband and placed the gem at the center. w.a.n.g Wei desperately wanted to absorb this gem and further evolve his [River of Karma], but he was still in paranoid mode, meaning he could never be too careful. Even the method of using knowledge to cultivate secretly will require his caution; he already planned to seal these memories separately and not keep them in his Sea of Consciousness.

He summoned the karma river prototype before closing his eyes. 'Infinite Lord of Illusion,' he repeated in his mind until he sensed his spirit rus.h.i.+ng out of his body to an unknown location. He found himself approaching this enormous brown door, but unfortunately, something blocked him right as he was about to enter.

'This must be the seal,' w.a.n.g Wei thought with a frown. 'This will make things more challenging.' Luckily, he was prepared. He activated the Karma Gem to boost his ability. With a thought, w.a.n.g Wei's spirit started to manifest all the karma threads connected to that door. The process was more than challenging due to the interference of the seal and the sheer number.

w.a.n.g Wei spent five years manifesting all these threads, and once he finished, he did not dare to count them. The Void Illusion Realm existed before the Endless Tribulation Era, so how many cultivators have used its service? All these people represent a karma thread. If w.a.n.g Wei dare count the number, his soul might be severely injured in the process.

As impressive as that number is, it also served as a problem: how to forage through all these threads and find the information he wanted. If he had some of the Ma Clan's bloodline, he could use it as a guide, but he would not need to use karma if he had their blood. A simple blood tracing spell would have done the job.

'Even if I use Ying-Yang Calculation to comb through this mess, it would take me a few billion years to find something if not yuan epochs. So, I need another way, for example, starting from the source.'

w.a.n.g Wei mobilized his Karma and Time Dao for the next operation. He began to cla.s.sify the threads by age. He divided them by Era, with the current era threads above. His eyes then focused on the era before the Endless Tribulation.

'Interesting. Why are there so few?' w.a.n.g Wei thought. Less than 10 million threads were in the eras before the [Endless Tribulation Era]. 'Could it be that Heavenly Dao restarted civilization from a fundamental level? Besides a few people worth remembering from the previous eras, it erased everything else, including their karma?'

It was impossible for less than 10,000 million people to use the Void Illusion Realm before that era unless something w.a.n.g Wei did not know had happened. As such, his theory was the best he could think of now. 'Well, it doesn't matter since that is good news for me.

It was easy for him to organize these threads until he found the first one, probably the Ma Clan's Ancestor or the person who built the Void Illusion Realm. "Excellent," w.a.n.g Wei muttered and began to manipulate that thread to find the ma Clan's descendants.

However, an unexpected accident occurred. As soon as he touched that thread, he sensed a gaze connected to it. w.a.n.g Wei followed and saw a beautiful woman in blue clothes. Her eyes were bright beyond words and contained an unparalleled kind of spirituality. "What an ethereal beauty,' w.a.n.g Wei praised. The woman's body was illusionary and real, thus creating this ethereal and otherworldly charm.

"You must be the Ma Clan Ancestor."

"Fellow Daoist, what are you trying to use our clan's karmic line for?" asked the woman. Her voice was soft but also ethereal.

"What a great understanding of the River of Time," w.a.n.g Wei commented. He could tell this woman was communicating with him across s.p.a.ce-time from the past. For all w.a.n.g Wei knows, she might be dead, but that did not stop them from communicating across eras.

"Fellow Daoist, please answer the question."

"I'm trying to gain control over the Void Illusion Realm," w.a.n.g Wei replied truthfully. The woman squinted, and a terrifying killing intent reached w.a.n.g Wei. However, he did not react. On the contrary, a small smile was in the corner of his mouth. He followed the intent of the killer and sensed how she did it. It took him a moment, but he found the trick and copied it. He used his [Chrono Spirit] to send his will in her timeline, forming a confrontation across s.p.a.ce-time.

"Hmm?" The woman muttered as she sensed w.a.n.g Wei's will arriving on her. 'What a terrifying talent,' she thought. She waved her hand to disperse his will.

'What a terrifying power,' w.a.n.g Wei thought. 'She might be more powerful than my wife.' He frowned. 'Is she a pseudo-transcendent?' Pseudo-Transcendent is not a real thing but something w.a.n.g Wei invented. It's a term to describe peak or Primal Paragons who have already embarked on their Transcendent Path. He's not talking about people who just have an idea but those who have already created and executed their method.

The woman did not mind w.a.n.g Wei's daring act. Her eyes drifted as if she was searching for something. She sighed, and w.a.n.g Wei could feel her emotions, and he also suddenly felt sad. 'She can even influence my emotions from her era? d.a.m.n it, how powerful is this woman?' He remained calm, but his mind was working overtime.

"I can't believe the clan has fallen to this step," the woman uttered before focusing on w.a.n.g Wei. "Fellow Daoist, can I make a deal with you?"

"How about we start with an introduction first?"

"The name is Ma Liqiu, but people call me the True Illusion Paragon."

"My name is Di Tian, and my t.i.tle is Nine Samsara," w.a.n.g Wei replied. "You spoke of a deal?"

"That's right," Ma Liqiu said while giving him a strange look. However, she did not say anything about his name. "I want you to protect the Ma Clan and cultivate at least one Paragon. In return, I'll grant you the highest control over the Void Illusion Realm."

"Are you sure those are your terms? You won't ask me to return it to your clan?"

"Fellow Daoist, you can see such power is a burden, even a threat, to them instead of wealth and glory."

"Then, how do you know I'm not the same?"

"Intuition."

"Is that so?" w.a.n.g Wei replied with squinted eyes. "This deal is tempting, but I can't agree."

Ma Liquiu frowned. "If Fellow Daoist w.a.n.g wants something, we can discuss it."

"This is not about bargaining the price. The current Eternal Ascension World is facing a catastrophe. I can barely protect myself, let alone others."

"Oh? Can I hear more about it?" She can only roughly check the Ma Clan's situation through their Qi Luck Dragon, but nothing more. w.a.n.g Wei did not hesitate and gave her a breath summary of the world's current state.

"So, there is indeed a path ahead," Ma Liquiu muttered, her eyes s.h.i.+ning brighter than before. She exhaled softly to calm down. "The deal can continue. You only need to do things to the best of your ability."

w.a.n.g Wei frowned before pretending to hesitate.

"I'll add something else," Ma Liquiu said with a hidden sigh. My purpose in creating that realm was to facilitate communication with like-minded individuals and use them to gather soul power secretly. My era is a long time from yours, and I imagine that there should be an abundance still preserved."

'An abundance? Those words are the understatement of the year,' w.a.n.g Wei thought. Such Soul Power reserves are enough to cultivate his soul to the highest level, use it as a means to boost his understanding to reach 100% Grand Dao Source, and probably have enough to allow more than 10,000 Paragons to cultivate their soul to the highest level.

To say w.a.n.g Wei was excited for such resources is an understatement. However, he did not let greed overwhelm his judgment. Instead, he thought about it calmly and rationally.

"I agree, but under three conditions."

"That's fine, but please don't go too far."

"Don't worry, I'm not asking for too much," w.a.n.g Wei said, and she nodded her head for him to continue. "Firstly, I want you to include secretly gathering soul energy from mortals. It doesn't have to be much, but a small amount from them, preferably when they sleep. You can even use dreams as a medium."

"Hmm, This is a great way to increase the reserves," Ma Liquiu commented. She understood w.a.n.g Wei's need to increase his profit. Moreover, this idea can also provide her with some benefits. "This is not a problem."

"For my second request, I…"
