Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 378

Chapter 378: Second Meeting

As soon as Wang Wei left the Scripture Pavillion, he could see dark clouds on top of the sect. His eyes penetrated the distance and he saw a pill undergoing Pill Tribulation.

The intensity of this tribulation was quite intense, with both fire, wind, and thunder trying to destroy it, but the pill was holding on pretty well.

"It seems that my cheap master succeeded," muttered Wang Wei was pondering the coincidence of him exiting his retreat at the same time as the old man.

In the Innate Pill Technique that he handed over to Ye Lao, he also wrote a special method that involved using the Power of Heaven and Earth as an aid to help with the Rune Engraving Process.

He hoped this method would help his cheap master break through his bottleneck and become a Tier 6 Quasi-Emperor Alchemist. And based on the clouds in the sky, he must have succeeded.

As he looked at the pill who successfully passed the tribulation, Wang Wei thought to himself: 'This should be enough to pay some of the Karma of impersonating your disciple and stealing, no, borrowing two Emperor Scriptures from your sect.'

Then, he did not go see his cheap master but returned to his cave; he guessed by now the old man should be digesting and securing his recent breakthrough.

Once inside, he activated the formation to notify outsiders that he was in retreat and not to disturb him. Wang Wei then proceeded to enter his space ring for added security bonus.

The first thing he did was to separate from Lou Cheng and immediately checked his own soul.

"Phew, it seems that there is no issue with the technique."

Wang Wei did not find the ban on his soul, meaning that the ban only recognized him as Lou Cheng. The reason that he was discovered during the Flame Emperor Trial was that the latter showed up in person.

After nodding his head, he once again became Lou Cheng. Then, he used his finger to calculate how long it took to comprehend the [Origin Pill Flame Scripture] and the result was 12 years.

This was not as long as he expected. However, comprehending the scripture was different from practicing it.

This scripture has very harsh conditions similar to Wang Tian's [Absolute Cut Sutra]. As a condition to practice, this sutra requires a Swordsman Heart or Sword Dao Heart, which is essentially a deep and unwavering dedication to the Way of the Sword otherwise one cannot practice this technique.

And even if some genius managed to bypassed this requirement, the power of this sutra will never reach its full potential. This is one of the reasons that Wang Wei only used that technique as a reference and never actually practice it.

The same rule applied to the [Origin Pill Flame Scipture], and the conditions can even be said to be harsher. The first step of cultivating this technique is to condense the Origin Pill Flame, and this flame is the foundation of the entire scripture.

Without it, this Emperor Scripture can be said to be worthless.

However, the conditions to accomplish this first step are truly harsh: whether in terms of Alchemy talent needed for the process or the Pill Dao Heart requirement.

Only people who have dedicated themselves completely to the Alchemy Dao can condense the Origin Pill Flame. For a person like Wang Wei who only considered Alchemy Dao as a minor in his path of cultivation, he could only dream of condensing that flame.

Luckily, his [Fate Stealing Technique] has essentially turned him into Lou Cheng from bloodline to soul, and even Dao Heart. So, he can still use him to condense the flame.

Although Lou Cheng–before the trial–was not talented enough to practice this scripture, his dedication to the Dao of Alchemy was more than enough. He spent the majority of his time refining pill, practicing over and over to perfect his craft; he was satisfied with the tinies of improvement, never complaining that he was not improving too fast.

He was not jealous of his fellow senior and junior brother and sisters. To him, only three things truly mattered: his master whom he treated like a father, his third senior sister who he believed was the love of his life, and practicing Alchemy.

Wang Wei took a deep breath to calm down and remove all distracting thoughts. Although he was confident in his technique, he was a little worried. However, after thinking about his backup plan in case he could not condense the flame, it became easier to calm down.

Even if he failed now, all he has to do is let Yan Liling cultivate this technique and help him refine his soul. With her talent and Dao Heart, it should be no problem to successfully condense the Origin Pill Flame.

However, Wang Wei did not want to use the backup plan unless necessary, for both personal and political reasons.
