Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 355

Chapter 355 - Cause And Effect

Many years ago, Wang Wei predicted the Karma Backlash he would face because he stole many people's luck using a shoddy method, and the fact that he was so weak.

So, he was prepared in advance and delayed the backlash for as long as possible. His original plan was to use the Origin Pill Dao Sect's luck to withstand that backlash.

As long as he met with his third senior and used her strength, the backlash–which came in the form of countless people chasing him for stealing from them–would be solved.

However, another plan came to mind; he wanted to use this situation to get some answers regarding the [Flame Controlling Art]. And the first step in his plan was to drastically increase the backlash before transferring it to his third senior sister, Lan Ling.

Although doing so was taking a little risk, it was a calculated one.

Unfortunately, Wang Wei did not have a deep understanding of Karma to magically transfer the backlash to another person. So, he used ordinary means.

During one of his heists of other people's fortunate encounters, he secretly changed the aura of the object he stole to make it appear more valuable than it was. Then, he left clues that he might be a member of the Origin Pill Dao Sect; these clues also led people to believe that the powerful weapon he stole was in his third senior sister's hand.

After noticing something, Wang Wei no longer hesitated. He took out a Heaven Tier Void Transferring Talisman and activated it. This was a talisman he made himself.

Over the past two hundred years, he has studied divine runes in-depth, and with Lou Cheng's talent that can now perfect engraved runes, his accomplishments in Talisman Making exponentially increase along with his Alchemy.

A silver light enveloped Wang Wei and he disappeared. Soon, he found himself in front of a forest. He immediately used his Divine Sense to search the surroundings, and after not finding anything, he walked in one direction.

Based on his feelings, he soon found himself on top of a valley. When he looked down, he saw many people waiting in front of a cave. The majority of these people were in the Void Shattering Realm.

After scanning these people with his eyes, he could feel countless grievances surrounding many of them as an invisible red hue was plastered on their bodies, and no matter what they did, they could not get rid of it.

With his extremely keen senses, Wang Wei could even feel a smell of decay on these people.

'Devil cultivators? No wonder they dared to do something with Lan Ling even though she was a disciple of an Emperor Lineage.'

Of course, there were a few other loose cultivators amongst this group. He guessed the mentality of these people. As long as no one said anything, they should have enough time to run away and escape the hunting of the Origin Pill Dap Sect.

Wang Wei gazed did not stay long on these people. With Lou Cheng's current cultivation, if he stares too long at these Void Shattering Powerhouses, they will notice it.

He did some calculations and realized that his conjecture was correct. This method was possible to transfer the backlash to Lan Ling. So, he took a few minutes to ponder the deeper reasons behind this.

Karma is the principle of cause and effect. He stole other people's fortunate, that's the cause. The effect is the backlash he would receive: his identity as a thief would be revealed and people would chase him down.

Then, there is the correlation between Karma and Luck.

As long as he revealed his identity as a disciple of the Origin Pill Dao Sect, and the direct disciple of the sect master, the majority of people will not dare to blame him for his action. This is a way of using the Sect's Qi Luck to withstand the backlash of Karma.

However, if the cause is strong enough, meaning one of the fortunate encounters he stole is precious enough, the effect/backlash will not be so easily blocked by his sect's Luck. This is the current situation of his third senior sister after shifting the backlash to her.

A trace of enlightenment flashed across Wang Wei's eyes. Unfortunately, it was not enough. However, he was happy as he had a foundation to understand the Dao of Karma in the future.

With a smile on his face, Wang Wei looked at the cave that stopped all these people. A purple miasma could be seen coming from it. Just by the color, once could tell that this thing was highly poisonous, even to beings of Law like these people.

He took out five pills from his space ring while muttering, "Could this be considered poetic justice? Or fate?"

He did not throw the pill. With these people's reflexes and their current strength, they would immediately realize something and evade it. Instead, he took out another Void Transfering Talisman.

This one was of the highest quality and did not produce any space fluctuation. He activated it before sending the pills inside.

Clouds of red, green, and dark suddenly enveloped the crowds.

"Who dares to sneak attack this young master?" roared one of the devil cultivators, who immediately proceeded to manifest his law to protect himself.

Unfortunately, to his horror, he discovered that it was useless. On the contrary, the more he used his law, the faster the poison spread to his body and soul.

"Heaven Grade Law Corroding Poison? Could the reinforcement of the Origin Pill Dao Sect already arrived?"

Unfortunately, this was the last thought of this person along with the rest. Their skins soon turned black before dissolving into a pool of green blood and puss.
