Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 288

A few days passed, and the True Monarchs protecting Zhen Biyu already set up the necessary protection for her in the mountain that the sect provided for them. Then, she spent a month absorbing Wang Wei’s organ parts.

Soon after that, the people of the Five Elements Palace quickly left the Dao Opening Sect.

Tianwei Peak, Wang Wei and the upper echelons of the sect were having another meeting. A projection screen was in front of them, showing Zhen Biyu’s process of absorption.

During the process, many people secretly sighed at Wang Wei’s ingenuity of creating constructs or puppets the size of ants to have them secretly spy on her cultivation room.

Even when her Dao Protector used their Divine Sense to check the room, they will overlook such a small and insignificant animal. And the protection they took to protect her from prying eyes also overlook such a possibility.

"It seems that she cultivates the [Five Element Classics] of their founder, Emperor Three Purity," commented Great Elder Yan Mei. Many people nodded in agreement with her as they recognized the cultivation method Zhen Biyu was using.

"Not necessarily," said Wang Wei in disagreement. "I do not believe for a moment that she did not create her own scripture."

"Young master, are you saying that she knew we were secretly watching her? That she noticed our actions?"

"Not necessarily, but there are records of people with Pure Heart having very powerful intuitions. She might have felt something wrong, thus decided to hide her true ability as a precaution."

Indeed, this was a very high possibility.

"Doesn’t that mean we still do not know much about her?" asked one of the Elders.

"No, we can deduce a few things from this situation," replied Wang Tian. "For example, she probably used to cultivate the [Five Element Classic], despite her look, she is probably very intelligent and her intuition could be of great help in battle."

"Additionally, her talent for the Dao of Five Elements probably reached a terrifying level," added Wang Wei. "From what she previously said, she felt the power of Innate Five Element in my body from the Eastern Continent; that is not something any normal person can do."

People nodded in agreement with Wang Wei, then they spent the next few hours discussing and theorizing about Zhen Biyu’s strength.

Once the meeting finished, Wang Wei returned to his Sacred Son Mountain, and there, he saw Wang Ju waiting for him. He invited her in to have a meeting.

"Young master, we just received the scripture from the Mo family."

"Oh, so was I right about them?"

"Correct. As soon we have asked them to check out the Secret Realm before officially entering, they were very quick to refuse. So, as you suggested, we threatened to destroy it, and eventually, under the pressure, they had Mo Xingyun signed the contract."

Wang Ju then handed a red scroll to Wang Wei, which was the Gluttony Swallowing Scripture. He opened it and read it:

"All living beings are born feeble and helpless, and from birth, require eating to survive. We eat nutrients from our mother’s womb, eat food to grow up, sustain ourselves, grow, and prevent death.

"Even cultivators cannot escape the cycle of constant consumption: they eat spiritual energy, Heavenly and Earthly treasures, and even one another. Eating is a fundamental part of the universe, a part of the cycle of nature.

"But why should living-being stop at consuming things that are ’edible’? All things in existence have value, whether it is a piece of dirt or the most valuable of Heavenly materials. So, consume everything, indulge in the act of consuming, treat everything between Heaven and Earth as nothing but food.

"Whether it is ores, flesh, blood, soul, energy, or even the entire world, consume them; swallow them."

As Wang Wei read this scripture, he suddenly felt a terrifying desire to swallow everything around him enveloped his mind; the desire to eat everything seemed to want to overwhelm his mind.

Fortunately, his will was quite powerful that he instantly regained his mind. With a sigh, he muttered: "Worthy of a cultivation technique of the devil race; it took the cultivators’ basic idea of taking from Heaven and Earth to make up for their deficiency to a new level.

"More ever, this book could explain one of the reasons that the Heaven Swallowing Emperor acted the way he did. If he got half of this book when he was young, he might have been affected by the will inside of it. Given his nature as a Devil Cultivator, he probably might be even more susceptible to this kind of influence."

After dismissing Wang Ju, he spent a few days understanding this scripture in detail/ Although he would not cultivate it himself, he can still try to understand something from it to integrate it into his [Transcending Fate Sutra].

However, a week later, he received another talisman that another person came to see him. So, he took a shower and went to meet the person.

After entering the reception area of his manor, he saw an old lady with long white hair, dressed in plain clothes talking to Wu Hong.

"Grandma!" yelled Wang Wei as he rushed to hug her.

"Oh, be careful not to break these old bones," replied Yun Zhaojun.

"Grandma, I thought you could not leave the Yu family easily."
