Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Wang Wei walked home with a pondering look. With this conversation, he realized he knew very little about the Endless Void and needed to change. So, after returning home, he contacted Ancestor Wucheng and asked him about the Commercial Hub.

"That thing? I remember the Devil Race destroyed it during that era. I guess they rebuild it."

"So, the sect has not been part of the Hub since the Incense Era?"

"That's probably correct."

"After the Devil Catastrophe, didn't anyone think of rejoining?"

"Back then, many of us died or were injured, so no one really cared about the Endless Void."

"What about after you recuperated?"

"By then, we had to worry about the rise of the Emperor Enlightening Academy, the Nine Emperor Curse, and the Heaven Devour Emperor, so no one really cared or thought about such a thing."

Wang Wei sighed, knowing there was no point in focusing on things like this. What he needed to do was focus on the future.

"Speaking of the Nine Emperor Curses, what happened? I've never felt its power?"

"After you entered the Duyi Realm, Heavenly Dao removed most of the curse's power. And after you became an Outlaw, it completely removed all its influences."

"Do you know the reason?"

"We have calculated a plethora of reasons: The Eternal Destiny of this Generation, the upcoming change of era, the fact you stripped the Spirit of Epoch from the Academy, and even that lad's Di Tian's presence. Anyway, the real reason does not matter. What matters is the fact it's removed."

"That's true," nodded Wang Wei. "What do you think of the sect's alliance with the Star Lord Mountain and eventually rejoining the Commercial Hub?"

"You're the sect master, so you can decide these things on your own. And as the sect master, you can dispatch most of the Immortal Powerhouses in case you want someone to station at the hub."

"Alright. When Wang Ju returns from her retreat, I need someone to help spread the Fate Shadow Guards throughout the Endless Void. And using the Hub as the starting point is a good idea."

"That's fine."

Then, the two ended the conversation. Not long afterward, Li Jun ran into the house with excitement all over his face.

"What happened?"

"I got some information that may be useful for you." Then, he handed Wang Wei a talisman, which contained an image of him fighting other trial members.

"How did you get this?" Wang Wei knew it was forbidden to fight before the competition began.

"I convince these people to fight me through the dream technique."

"Brilliant," said Wang Wei as he watched these battles and experienced how these power systems functioned. The trial did not only contain people from 12 World Communities. The twelve main communities, like the Myriad Emperor World, Star Beast World, and Emperor Dao World, had at least three participants, but the others would only have one or two participants.

From what Wang Wei knew, at least 30 to 40 communities participated in this trial. So, Li Jun's information was crucial to him. So, he rested inside for the next few days while viewing these battles.

It's a shame that many world communities were smart enough to decline Li Jun's invitation since they knew the importance of information. Finally, the day of the dinner party arrived.

"Sect master, Elder Li Jun has left for a while now," said Shadow Two.

"I know you're trying to remind me not to be late, but I have my reasons," said Wang Wei, who fixed his black martial clothes and appearance. He wanted to wear a white one for this trail but changed his mind considering his clothes would have the blood of his enemy on them.

Although it was a magical artifact with self-cleaning capabilities, he decided otherwise. Sometimes, it's good to leave the blood on for intimidation and boost the aura.

'Blood looks better on black clothes than on white ones.'Suddenly, he sensed it was the right time, so he headed to the destination.

Meanwhile, Shadow Two was momentarily confused. From what he knew about the young master, he was not one of these people who liked grand entrances or flashy displays of power.

At least, most of the time, that was true.

Wang Wei got into his carriage and flew to the center of this small world where the dinner took place. After showing his token, he walked inside after putting his chariot away.

And as he expected, he was the last to arrive, making everybody glance at him.

"Hello, fellow Daoists," Wang Wei said as he cupped his hand and bowed slightly. His voice traveled throughout the entire venue, forcing everybody to focus more on him. As such, Wang Wei senses numerous gazes: curious, intrigued, sneering, disgusted, and even killing ones.

"Interesting," said another voice that traveled through the entire room, shifting the people's gaze toward the far left of the room. Even Wang Wei had a severe look on his face as he gazed at the person who spoke.

It was a handsome young man dressed in a loose long white robe with blue designs. His long black hair was in a top knot, but he also had a ribbon around his forehead to keep his hair.

The young man ignored the gazes surrounding him as he looked at Wang Wei. Unlike martial clothes, which were tight fitting, the robe had wide sleeves, so he held his right hand's sleeve with his left so it would not interfere with his tea.

The young man's slow actions emanated a natural charm; it was like Heaven and Earth would praise his every word and deed simply because he was born noble.

"Young Master Chu Luo, what do you mean?" asked one of the participants sitting at the same table. Chu Luo looked at the speaker and said: "Sometimes, it baffles me how weak you people are?"

"What do you mean by that?" said a person at another table. However, Chu Luo did not look at the person but gazed back at Wang Wei.

"A powerhouse's every action has weights or bearings, which can manifest in the form of Karma; this is why no cultivators would dare receive a bow from an Emperor without their protection. The weight of the Karma would destroy most of them or curse them with misfortune."

Chu Luo paused to drink his tea, but people kept staring at him, wondering what this had to do with anything. He shook his head in disappointment before continuing:

"This man used this concept to place secret Karma Threads on all of you. The moment he bowed and called you fellow Daoists, he used the weight of his strength to force Karma on all of you.

"What's brilliant about his application of Karma Law is the people who secretly accepted his bow were the easiest to target, while the others, he still forced the thread on you, without even you knowing it."

Chu Luo squinted his eyes. He did not say that such a method would require a great deal of control of Karma but also great intelligence to capture the mindset of all the people in the room.

After saying those words, the faces of the people in this room suddenly changed, and they quickly began to use different methods to check their bodies.

Meanwhile, the calm and composed Wang Wei looked at Chu Luo before looking at the people in the room. He then classified everybody into different categories.

The first group was people who instantly realized what he did, and to his surprise, there was another one beside Chu Luo in the back with a hood covering their faces.

The second group was the people who could detect his action after being revealed and used their own method to cut off the Karma Thread.

The third group was the people who could detect the thread but did not have the means to remove it. And finally, the people who could not even notice it.

With a gentle smile, Wang Wei walked to the Dao Opening Sect's sections to the far right, where the other participants gave him a fierce look. All five of them belonged to the second group.

'What's wrong? You seem more serious than before?' asked Li Jun through Divine Sense despite the gentle smile on Wang Wei's face.

'That guy who spoke, he is dangerous.'

'Well, since he could detect your method, he should be quite powerful.'

'No, I mean, he gives me the same vibe as Di Tian.'

'Are you serious? Does more than one of such a monster truly exists?'

'Most likely, remember the hints I've been getting to finish my incarnations quickly? Most likely, it's because of him.

Li Jun looked at Chu Luo's table with a severe look; he understood what kind of monster Di Tian was. His big brother was on his way to reaching that level of monstrosity, but he was not there yet.

'I have an idea on how to gather some information about him,' he said.

'How?'

After hearing his plan, Wang Wei's lisps twitched.

'I doubt that would work; I bet he also has an alliance with the other people to prevent information leaks.'

'No, this guy gives me an arrogant and overconfident vibe. I doubt he would care about information leak.'

'Well, go for it. I promise not to say anything to Liling.'

Wang Wei sensed something and looked in the back of the room, where the hooded figure seemed to be staring at him intently. However, Wang Wei only squinted at him before ignoring him.

Meanwhile, the hooded figure did not stop staring for a few seconds.

'Fate Dominating Emperor, I have finally found you. No matter what it takes, I will kill you before you grow up and save all sentient beings in All Heaven Myriad Worlds.'
