Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 224

After a brief pause, Wu Hong continued to explain:

"The Universal Seal is the ability to seal anything between Heaven and Earth/ Whether it was existing or non-existing things, physical and nonphysical things, spiritual and non-spiritual, even existing concepts like Life, Death, and even Fate.

"In summarization, she can literally seal anything in the universe."

Wang Wei nodded as this was indeed a terrifying ability, however, since it was a taboo Talent, there must be a price or restriction.

"So, what was the restriction?" he asked.

"She could only use it once in her life," replied Wu Hong with a calm face, and Wang Wei nodded. "So, how did this talent help her?"

"After she received that heaven defying talent, she started to study it instead of using it. Although the Empress’s talent was mediocre, she had an outstanding comprehension.

"She try to create a cultivation technique solely based on her talent, and when she broke through the Void Shattered Realm and understood the Law, she finally succeeded in her endeavor. Then, her meteor rise started."

Wu Hong took a brief pause to brew herself and Wang Wei some tea, then ate and drank the Saint Realm True Person Golden Roc meat.

"The first thing she did after making her breakthrough was to actually improve her foundation. She tracked down the most powerful human genius of that time period and sealed his talent and foundation, then absorbed that person’s Dao Foundation."

Wang Wei raised his eyebrows as he looked deeply at Wu Hong: "What do you mean by that?"

He was indeed confused. How can sealing have such ability? Suddenly, he thought of how Wu Hong was able to seal his pain, then removed it from his body. So, he guessed that the Empress’ Sealing Dao was not a simple one.

However, it made sense thinking about it logically. How could a person that became an Eternal Emperor be ordinary--especially the Dao that they cultivate.

"As you can imagine, her Sealing Dao was not a simple one," replied Wu Hong while sipping her tea. "After sealing something, she can actually control that thing like it was a part of her and do whatever she pleases with them.

"For example, after sealing that human genius’ perfect Dao Foundation, she absorbed it on her own in order to benefit from it. OF course there are limits to this ability.

"She has to have a deep understanding or knowledge of the things she seals. For example, if she wanted to seal time, she needed to have a deep understanding of the Dao of Time. And if a person has much more knowledge than her in a subject, they can still find a way to break her seal, or use brute force to do so.

"However, I doubt that in her life, she has met people capable of such a thing. And if she did, they were few in numbers."

Wang Wei nodded as he expected such a powerful Dao to have its limitations. One thing that he has noticed throughout his short years of cultivating was that there was nothing truly perfect in the cultivating world.

Everything and everyone had flaws or limitations. As a matter of fact, most cultivators are chasing perfection. With each breakthrough in cultivating realms, they get closer to becoming perfect.

As such, many cultivators believe that Great Emperors are the only perfect beings in existence, however this seems to be far from the truth. From what Wang Wei learned today, maybe only Paragons are the truly perfect beings in existence; and even that may not be a hundred percent truth.

After reigning in his thoughts, he asked: "You said that she absorbed the perfect Dao Foundation from that human genius. From what I know, only the [Origin Path Scripture] of my Dao Opening Sect can allow a person to cultivate a ’perfect’ Dao Foundation, so was this human genius from my sect?"

"That is correct," replied Wu Hong. "He was being secretly cultivated in order to compete with the Three-Eyes Devil Prince--which was the one attracted by Empress Wu’s beauty."

Wang Wei nodded as he did not care about a person that was dead eons ago--even if it might have been one of his ancestors.
