Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1502

1502 /1533

"This is crucial information," Qiyuan muttered while crossing his arms and caressing his chin. "Are you interested in a deal?"

"What deal?"

"We'll pay you to delay selling the news," Qiyuan said. "We can't use merit, but we can use plenty of rare resources for the exchange."

"Delay? How long are we talking about?" Wu Hong asked with a frown.

"How about 10,000 Yuan Epochs?"

"That's at least 100,000 Yuan Epoch inside a time formation. Can you pay enough for me to delay for so long?" she asked. Time was of the essence, and 10,000 true yuan epochs were enough to do many things with the merit she'll have acquired from selling other factions.

"We'll give you 10 million peak third-rank Dao Sources, 20 Primal Soul Pills, 10 Innate Source Pills, and 2 Boundary Breaking Pills," Qiyuan said. Wu Hong immediately made a rough calculation.

The Dao Sources were enough to set up a formation that granted a 25% cultivation boost for five Paragons. One Innate Source Pill granted another 75% boost and had a slow effect on eliminating cultivation bottlenecks. The Boundary Pills could forcefully remove bottlenecks for people whose talents had reached their ends.

"10,000 is too long. I can only do 1000."

"Now I know you're not being sincere," Qiyuan said. "At least 9000."

"I cannot go higher than 1500."

"Alright, let me stop you two," Wang Wei said.

"Are you going to take her side?" Qiyuan complained.

"No, I'm trying to save you money."

"Oh?"

"Do you want to analyze the gate ahead of time and have more time than the others to prepare?" Wang Wei asked.

"That's right," Qiyuan nodded.

"Then, you're wasting your time. Maitreya could not detect the gate, and she only succeeded because of the Hong Protective System. This means whoever designed the gate made sure that no information was leaked by even people of Maitreya's level.

"And if your idea is to stop the gate or delay it for an extended period, then I'm afraid it's useless. As you can deduce from the scroll, Heavenly Dao is counting on the catastrophe to fulfil its grand ambition," Wang Wei reminded.

"I didn't know about Maitreya," Qiyuan muttered. "However, you are underestimating us a little."

"Brother Qiyuan can find the origin of all things," Yan Hai said. "With a little help, we can find the origin of the gate. And even if we fail, we can find some clues."

"It seems I've butted in when I didn't need to," Wang Wei said.

"Not at all," Qiyuan smiled before looking at Wu Hong. "How about we agree on 5000 Yuan Epoch?"

"That's fine by me," she agreed since that number was her bottom line.

"I'll have someone send them to you immediately," Qiyuan said, and Wu Hong was fine with that since she trusted them.

"So, is that it? I need to return to my retreat," Wang Wei asked.

"We still need to discuss which allies we can invite to use the scroll and how much to reveal," Li Ming said.

"I've become close with the Barbarian Race, so you can invite them. There is also Emperor Kong and the Enlightened Emperor Academy. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be the Son of an Era for the catastrophe. Maybe we can start building relationships with them," Wang Wei suggested.

"Not you?" Li Ming asked.

"I refused," Wang Wei replied before telling them about his conversation with Heavenly Dao. Wu Hong immediately sneered, and Qiyian shook his head. He would also not accept that burden.

"That may be a wise choice," Qiyuan uttered.

"I understand your choice, but being the Chosen One would have given us a great advantage," Wang Chang sighed.

"It would also put us at the center of the catastrophe," Li Ming added.

"It's the kid's choice, and since he refuses, let's respect his decision," Yan Hai added.

"That's right," Qiyuan said.

"Thank you," Wang Wei nodded. "And one more thing: the Sword Path League came for a visit before the Mortalhood Trial and wanted me to convince you to exchange the destiny of the Ultimate Sword Path with them."
