Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1382

Wang Wei teleported to the Origin Seal Continent, and as soon as he appeared, he sensed a sharp sword energy followed by Yan Hai suddenly appearing before him.

"What happened to you? What did the sect contact me and tell me your Soul Lamp was about to go out?"

"I — Wait, how do you have my Soul Lamp?" Wang Wei asked. He made one in the lower dimension even before he started cultivating, but he never made one for the upper-dimension branch.

"Boy, is this what’s important right now?"

"I’m just curious."

Yan Hai looked at him: "Do you want another beating? In your current state, I don’t even need the Ancestral Stick to show you my majesty."

"Ancestor, relax," Wang Wei swiftly said before explaining everything.

"That bold nun always complained about how she had a tumultuous fate with Taoism, but it seems true," Yan Hai muttered. "Now, I feel bad for dismissing her." She removed these thoughts from her mind:

"I’m glad you’re alive, kid."

"Yes, it’s always good to be alive," Wang Wei nodded.

"So, why are you here?"

"I remember I sent a few talented people with Human Fiendgod Bloodline to ascend. The sect should have taken good care of them, correct?"

"That’s right."

"I need you to secretly contact the sect and one of them to come out. Don’t use the previous contact method — it would be best to ask them indirectly."

"You came here for this?" she asked with a frown.

"He has a tight watch over me, so I cannot risk contacting the sect," Wang Wei explained. "And I don’t know enough about our secrets for any form of true secret contact.

"True." Yan Hai nodded. "But why do you need these people?"

"I need to borrow their bodies," Wang Wei said. "You see my situation, and the fastest way to regain my strength is to take over another body. The best body is those people with the same bloodline, and only they currently have the Human Fiendgod Bloodline."

"In that case, I can’t help you."

"What?"

"We have strict rules about taking over clan members’ bodies."

"Ancestor, this is an emergency — the rules can be slightly bent."

"No," Yan Hai responded, her voice firm.

"Ancestor," Wang Wei replied, his voice slightly raised.

Yan Hai shook her head: "I know you’re thinking that I’m being old-fashioned and rigid, but that’s not true — I’m doing this for the good of the sect."

"What do you mean?"

"Do you know what our sect’s greatest advantage is over the other Overlords?"

Wang Wei frowned before answering: "We are one of the most powerful while also extremely united."

"That’s right," Yan Hai nodded. "Although I cannot see as far as you or Brother Qiyuan, I understand that the key to our prosperity in the upcoming era is this unity, and your actions will undermine that unity."

"Aren’t you being a little dramatic?"

"I’m not," Yan Hai rebutted. "Although we are united, we still have a few problems. Ten factions rule the sect, including nine clans and the sectarian faction. Our Yan, Wang, and Li clan are at the top because all 4 Primals come from our clan. Meanwhile, the sectarian side is the largest faction with the most Paragons. However, they are also the most suppressed of the groups because of one rule — no more powerful clans are allowed to be born in the sect again.

"Over the years, we have spent countless time and effort to ensure the sanctity of the sect rules — especially the major one. So, you, of all people, breaking such a significant rule will definitely be used by other factions to create instability, undermining our unity.

"And I don’t think I need to tell you who will strike first."

"The Myriad Clan Union," Wang Wei replied.

"That’s right. The Wang Clan division started due to the fight over Bloodline Imprint, so can you imagine the field day they would have if this was the rule that you broke?"

Wang Wei groaned softly: "I thought our relationship was better."

"It is, but this also resulted in many people fearing about the reunification of the Wang Clan," Yan Hai explained. "The first thing the union would do is to pressure Heaven Opening to strike first. Unfortunately, our relationship is not really to the point of unification, so he will not hesitate to do it."

Wang Wei was silent.

"Now, do you understand the ramifications your action will have?"

"But all that is predicated on the fact that we will survive this catastrophe to see the next era," Wang Wei complained.

"I have never doubted you would succeed," Yan Haid replied without hesitation.

"You have more trust in me than I do in myself."
