Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1461

Chapter 1461 An Important Target

Su Dandan, Xie Xiaolie, and the remaining survivors looked at Tang Lihua on the floor in shock, wondering what she did to piss off the Primal Seed. They also asked whether such a cruel punishment was necessary, given how harsh her screaming voice was. However, Wang Wei did not explain his actions, despite the fact they raised the tension in the room.

Then, after a few minutes of wrangling her body in agony, Tang Lihuan opened her mouth to cough out a black gas. Wang Wei was ready and immediately sealed it inside a cube barrier, neutralizing it. He observed closely as the gas slowly transformed into a black and blue caterpillar.

"Isn't that the first stage of a Source Dream Butterfly?" someone asked. Source Dream Butterfly was a spirit creature born from the power of dreams. It's considered the best companion for Dream and Nightmare Daos cultivators as it can boost their cultivation and aid them in battles.

"No, this is not just an ordinary Source Dream Butterfly," Wang Wei muttered. "Someone modified it to serve as a parasitic entity."

"But why?" Su Dandan asked. "Do they want to infiltrate our sect?"

Wang Wei did not answer her since her analysis was the most surface level. This butterfly was one of these transcendent factions' responses to his [History Lock]. The lock prevented information leakage to foreign entities and not citizens of the Eternal Ascension World.

The butterfly's purpose was to slowly analyze Tang Lihua's [Existence] under the guise of helping her cultivate. Once the butterfly understood enough, it could mask itself as a "citizen" of the Eternal Ascension World and learn any information from Tang Lihua without her even noticing or the lock taking effect.

'I knew these factions had a way to bypass the lock, but I didn't expect them to come up with it so soon,' Wang Wei thought. The situation was more dire than he thought. He knew it was only a matter of time before these factions learned about the Eternal Ascension World's situation, but he felt he had more time than this.

Wang Wei shifted his gaze to these people, checking all of their existence. Luckily, it seemed Tang Lihua was the only one targeted. "Listen," Wang Wei said calmly. "From now on, do not trust any fortunate encounter you have. If something good happens to you, report it to the sect for someone to check. Understand?"

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes asking whether this was necessary. "Forget it," Wang Wei said. "After I return, everyone will be checked. There will also be new rules about reporting your fortunate encounter." The situation was about to change and now was no time to be careless. So, Wang Wei decided to target the problem from the core and change the sect's rules.

"But the sect's rules have always been personal fortunate encounters belonging to the individual," someone said.

"But the sect's rules have always been personal fortunate encounters belonging to the individual," someone said.

"No one is asking you to hand over your encounter. The sect will only check your body to ensure someone was not treating you as pawns," Wang Wei explained calmly. He also realized he needed to refine a second artifact to hand over to the sect. Otherwise, he'll waste a lot of time with security measures.

"But–"

"Our sect is about to experience a catastrophe, and this level of caution and security is required," Su Dandan cut in. "You need to change your mindset and start thinking of the overall situation." Indeed, a few of these people have not changed their mindset. Now that they were Paragons, they were the Grand Elders of the sect, and their mode of thinking needs to change.

"Alright, there will be plenty of time for you to adapt," Wang Wei said. "I called you here for something else. It's time for you to leave."
