Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1446

Chapter 1446 Ying Zheng's Threat

Wang Wei looked at her strangely: "They didn't, you know, inhumanely torture you, did they?" He had to ask due to how much hatred she displayed toward the Qin people.

"Inhuman torture? Oh, thank Heavens, no," Hong Wa responded swiftly. "They just restricted my freedom and tried to influence me to marry their stupid and ugly-looking prince."

"That's good to hear, but you should be careful nonetheless," Wang Wei answered before summoning a scroll and started writing using the Dao Text. It took him a few minutes before handing it to her. "This technique is the final key," Wang Wei explained. Although he couldn't directly help her control her [Existence], he could create a way for her to do so passively by subtly manipulating her acupoints, soul, and body.

"Thank you."

"Do you have a Void Breaking Talisman potent enough for the plan?"

"Hmm, no," Hong Wa admitted in embarrassment. Wang Wei did not say anything else and granted her one. She sighed: "Once again, words cannot express the level of gratitude I am indebted to you."

"No problem," Wang Wei answered casually. "Your wife is safe with me for now, and you can pick her up if you successfully gain your freedom. Before that, I wish you good fortune."

Hong Wa bowed politely before her projection dissipated, leaving Wang Wei in deep thought. 'How did Ying Zheng get his hands on transcendent power? Is it some kind of artifact or a source of power? More importantly, did he get it before or after the Ultimate Taboo?

Wang Wei entered his state of deduction, trying to piece the puzzle from threads of information. 'Hong Wa said they only recently placed the mark on her, meaning it's possible Ying Zheng shared this power with his court after our confrontation at the Great Chu Court. He couldn't possibly have done it before since he was hiding in Limbo, and Supreme Unity had his eyes on him. However, after Maitreya blessed these people, they could remain invisible to Supreme Unity's eyes.

'However, is transcendent power so easily controlled? The time between the Great Chu event and the trial was too short for these people to have created a method to utilize the power of transcendence — unless they had someone whose talent was on par with mine and used an extreme method like the Mind Dilation Pill.'

Wang Wei frowned. The possibility of that being the case was low, so he had to consider another possibility — Ying Zheng had it before the Ultimate Taboo.

'But if that's true, why did no one know about it before? Ying Zheng is capable enough to hide from his peers in the Golden Generation, but Supreme Unity and Maitreya would have sniffed it out. Maitreya may have been capable of protecting the Qin Court for a while, but during the Lock Era, where her performance was less than desired, Supreme Unity would have gotten his hands on the thing long ago.

'Unless the hypothetical artifact or source of power is of higher essence than these two and capable of hiding itself unless. Does such a thing exist, and where did Ying Zheng find it?'

As soon as Wang Wei asked that question, he had an answer:

'The Prehistoric World,' he thought. 'Although it's possible Ying Zheng acquired it from the first Chaos World he reincarnated into, the most likely scenario is someone, most likely Hongjun, handed it to him. But why?'

Wang Wei recalled various information as he slowly outlined the truth.

'I theorized that Hongjun was reincarnating people for the future of the Prehistoric World. Now that I think about it, it's possible he knew about the All Heaven Fate Calamity before the All-Seeing Temple and wanted to prepare in advance.'
