Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1395

Wang Wei did not immediately put the ring on. Instead, he activated the slight remaining obsession he discovered attached to it.

"It’s you!" screeched a female voice.

"Are you so afraid of death?" Wang Wei asked while looking at this obsession of Five Feathers that lingered on.

"It’s your fault — it’s everyone’s fault," she continued. "I was so close to killing him and proving to the world I did the right thing, to prove I was better than him. Why did you have to intervene?"

’So, her obsession is about Undead Phoenix’s death. That’s good news,’ Wang Wei thought. He had a team researching the power of obsession from the Grandmist Gang Lord, but he never actively participated due to his busy schedule. As such, he was not too confident in dealing with Five Feathers’ obsession, even if it was a minor one.

"It’s ironic how tragic your and Undead Phoenix’s life was, but you haven’t even realized it," Wang Wei shook his head.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Do you really think what happened between you two was an accident?" Wang Wei sneered, and Five Feathers looked at him incredulously.

"We live in a world where everybody is a pawn of someone else," Wang Wei continued. "Undead Phoenix was the most talented loose cultivator of his time, and people even called him a Primal Seed. However, who would most likely benefit if he were to become a Primal Paragon one day?"

"The Limitless Exchange Hall," Five Feathers’ replied with an ugly expression.

"The minimum requirement for an Overlord is the 2 Primals, but that doesn’t necessarily have to be a cultivator," Wang Wei explained. "The Origin Seal Continent’s second Primal is a magnificent puppet, and the Limitless Exchange Hall discovered a formation that could boost a peak Primal to that level.

"However, the appearance of Undead Phoenix brought them hope to become a true [Overlord] and not the weakest."

"But he wasn’t a member of the Limitless Exchange Hall," Five Feathers argued. He knew Undead Phoenix had rejected their offers more than once.

"Wasn’t he?" Wang Wei rebutted. "Most of his resources originated from them, and he had a teacher relationship with some of the top Paragons and even met their Primal once. All signs indicate that once Undead Phoenix experiences something that shows him the value of having a powerful lineage backing him, he will run to the Limitless Exchange Hall without hesitation.

"Everyone knew this, so how could the other Overlord allow their competitor to become more powerful?"

"That’s not enough to prove what you’re saying." Five Feathers argued with an ugly expression.

"Alright, let me ask you something else," Wang Wei continued with a playful smirk. "You were once a Paragon. Do you think the technique you used to take his talent was something ordinary?" Five Feather’s pale body almost collapsed after hearing these words.

"Anything that can help someone become a Paragon is valuable beyond words can explain. Yet, someone like you with above-average luck got his hands on something so rare, and I’m guessing it was pretty easy, too."

Five Feathers was silent.

"In fact, if you think about it enough, there are even more layers to this," Wang Wei said. "After you become a Paragon, the Demon Race did not even notice that you had reached the limit of your potential and treated you like a Heaven Chosen by pouring countless resources into you. Tell me, what kind of method can fool one of the Overlords?"

Five Feathers felt her world collapsing.

"My theory is that your role as a pawn was even bigger than just destroying the Limitless Exchange Hall’s future," Wang Wei added. "That cultivation method was probably meant to turn you into a cultivation cauldron. After being nourished by the Demon Race’s resources, the person behind the scenes would have appeared and absorbed your cultivation, probably to reinforce their foundation and increase their chances of becoming a Primal."

Wang Wei sighed: "It was a brilliant move. I wonder who was behind it? My first instinct is to say my ancestor, but I also know there are many brilliant minds in the Overlords, and it could have been any of them."

"No, you’re talking nonsense," Five Feathers denied. "If you were telling the truth, why did no one come to collect their cauldron?"

"Because you were lucky," Wang Wei responded. "The person was probably busy with the Second Origin War, and they died in the Ultimate Taboo immediately afterward. While in Limbo, the world changed drastically, and you became one of the moons, thus escaping your fate."

"No…it can’t be."

"My theory is verifiable," Wang Wei casually said. "You should have kept a copy of the technique, right? I only need to understand it, and I’ll know whether you were turned into a cauldron or not."

Five Feathers was quiet. She did not utter another word but returned to the ring.

’So, collapsing an obsession’s worldview and spirit can affect them — duly noted,’ Wang Wei thought. He was telling the truth, but that did not stop him from gathering more information on obsession. He summarized what happened and sent it to the study team. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

He then focused on other things. He first discarded the body he was using before returning his soul to his original body. Wang Wei feared an attack from the obsession, so he stayed in that body in case he needed to fight back.

He prepared the next one he would use from the blood pool before focusing on something else: the Plague Curse. He waved his hand to summon two captured cultivators: a woman and a man.
