Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 153

153 /1533

Snow Tiger Mountain, inside the chaotic space left by the explosion of the Secret Realm, Wang Wei finally opened his eyes during his retreat. He exhaled out a long breath before checking the result of his seclusion.

The biggest gain he accomplished during this retreat was the fact that his skin seemed to tempered to another level. After close observation, Wang Wei discovered that on top of being very dense, his skin has an additional innate aura or magnetic field automatically protecting him.

So, if someone wanted to break through his defense, they first had to go through the aura or magnetic field, then pierced his skin and muscles.

As for his actual skin, Wang Wei easily noticed that the density of it is heading in the direction of a neutron star--which was considered one of the densest materials in the universe in his previous life.

Although Wang Wei knew that his skin did not reach that level yet, he was still rapidly approaching. In order to check his progress, he took out a High Grade Earth Tier sword and tried to pierce his skin.

Before the origin artifact could even touch his skin, Wang Wei felt a powerful resistance preventing the sword from penetrating. Knowing this, he smiled and used more force, then the sword pierced the innate aura surrounding him before hitting his skin.

After a few seconds of resistance, the sword then went through his skin before cutting the muscles. After seeing this, Wang Wei smiled and removed the origin artifact.

This test has proven that his defense has reached the bare minimum level of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Of course Wang Wei could tell that only his skin has reached that level and his strength has only increased a little, but he was still happy. As long as he does not die during a battle, everything is fine as he can always find a way to victory.

Of course Wang Wei also knows that his defensive ability is not absolute. In this cultivator world where there are attacks that focus on the soul, or weird curses that ignore all defenses, or attacks on the conceptual level, his defensive ability can only buy him time to figure out counter-measures to these weird techniques.

After checking his skin, Wang Wei started to check his bones. The next part of his body that needs to be tempered through the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture].

With this retreat, all the early tempering has been done. So, as soon as he returns to the sect, all he has to do is immediately enter the Body Refining Secret Realm for a few years, then inject the material necessary to complete the process.

After checking all of his gains in this retreat, Wang Wei still kept the formation to isolate the chaotic space, then he flew straight back to the Great Xia Capital, where he called all his officials to come attend a meeting.

While Wang Wei was sitting in his Dragon Throne waiting for the arrival of the other people, the first person to arrive was in fact Empress Dong Lifen as she was the closest.

After seeing her, Wang Wei’s eyes lit up and he said, "It seemed that you have succeeded."

Dong Lifen--who was now in the Divine Sea Realm--bowed before taking her seat, "It was all thanks to his majesty!"

Wang Wei just nodded while secretly sighing. Right before he entered seclusion, Dong Lifen discovered a way to use Qi Luck to improve her foundation.

The method was actually quite straightforward as all she had to do was absorb the Qi Luck of the dynasty, but instead of using it to increase her own luck, she used to acquire a Dao Foundation instead.

And with Dong Lifen’s years of accumulation, she directly entered the River of Origin after entering the Divine Sea Realm.

The reason that Wang Wei sighed was due to the fact he had encountered a major problem in his study of Qi Luck. Through Dong Lifen, he has managed to find a way for his black Qi Dragon to turn into purple up to 99.99%, however, the remaining 0.01% seemed to be a terrible chasm that prevented Wang Wei’ success.

As a result, he was quite frustrated for a while as he could feel that something important would happen to him once he succeeded. However, no matter what he did, he could fill in the last remaining percentage.

As such, Wang Wei was forced to use the tactic of just slowly wearing it out through the passage of time, otherwise he would have to wait until a plan came to him.

After a few hours of waiting and chatting, all the high levels soon arrived. With the flying construct of Great Xia, these people can arrive in the capital in just a few hours at a moment’s notice. In the meantime, Wang Wei also learned that his seclusion only took a little over 6 months.

As a matter of fact, many of the native officials were very happy to see Wang Wei’s back. During his absence, Yan Liling as the Chancellor was in charge of the dynasty, something which many people did not particularly back. So, they were happy to have their majesty back.

Of course, whether Yan Liling, Li Jun, or Wang Ju all knew about the crooked idea inside these officials’ heads. However, none of them care about this.
