Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 469

Chapter 469: News

Wang Wei looked at the cube in his hand before squinting his eyes.

'This is an Ultimate-level Innate Treasure.' _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}

There are 6 levels of Innate Treasures: low, middle, high, superior, extreme, and ultimate. The low level corresponds to Immortal Venerable-level power, the middle to Dao Ancestor, high to extreme corresponds to Third Class Emperor to First Class Emperor, while Ultimate is on the level of Eternal Emperor.

His original plan was to use Fang Lijuan's Invisible Talisman and mix it with the high-level Innate Treasure he took from the Shadow Slayer Temple to raise it to a higher level to hide from Heavenly Dao.

However, this mysterious stranger just handed one of the highest levels of Innate Treasure to him.

After checking the cube for a moment, Wang We inserted his spiritual power inside to refine it. And as expected, this thing already had a master. The mastermind only 'lends" it to him, so he cannot completely refine it.

He did not mind nor try to take control of the treasure forcibly. In his current state, all his actions have to be cautious. After temporarily refining the cube, he knew it was called the [Unseen Cube], whose primary purpose was to hide.

Hide from Heavenly Dao, hide from Fate, from unknown or unmentionable beings; it could hide from anything between Heaven and Earth. After injecting his Origin Essence inside, an invisible barrier surrounded Wang Wei, making him appear as if he was non-existent in the physical and spiritual plane.

'Is this how that young man appears so weird?' he thought for a moment before focusing on the cube. As soon as that protective shield surrounded him, he felt relieved.

He did not know whether this feeling was genuine or a psychological thing.

Finally, he again looked at Wang Ju: "Is there anything else?"

She hesitated for a moment: "There is something regarding Li Jun. However, I think it would be best if he is the one who told you."

"Is it urgent?"

"No, not really."

"In that case, tell him I'll come to see him in a few days since I have something to do first."

Wang Ju nodded before excusing herself. She had much new information that she could hand over. However, she could tell that her young master had different priorities at the moment, so she did not say anything else.

Wang Wei returned to his retreat to make another deduction. He wanted to know whether the cube could hide forever from Heavenly Dao to allow him to pass the trial or, at the very least, extend the time he had.

And the answer was negative.

So, he sighed to himself as he began reviewing all the information he had about the Trial and organizing them. He wanted to see if he missed some small but essential details.

After reviewing Jian Wushuang and Lin Fan's Trial, he concluded that one of the main reasons that these two failed their trial so quickly is because they placed their names in the Heavenly Dao Protection Book.

With this artifact, Heavenly Dao could gather more information about their personality, ways of thinking, habits, and thought patterns. Now, even if changed or improved a lot after the protective time ended, Heavenly Dao could deduce all possible directions they could improve or evolve before planning their dooms.

As for him, although he managed to escape this fate, he did not think his situation was that much better. He genuinely believes that Di Tian sold information he gathered during their battle to Heavenly Dao to ensure he did not survive this trial–although it was not as detailed as acquiring it from the book.

'That book and its creator are suspicious; this is the perfect artifact to keep track of Outlaws and increase their difficulty. Could it be that Emperor Kong made some dirty deal with Heavenly Dao when he created the book? Is this why he became an Eternal Emperor?'

ρ???? ???????? Wang Wei could not help but think like this. Although the book's purpose was to give Heaven Chosnes a short period of immortality so that they can do anything possible to become powerful without worrying about the consequences.

However, nothing in this complicated cultivating world was as it was on the surface. Of course, Wang Wei knew that his conjecture had no basis, and his recent paranoia did not help either.

Furthermore, some people should have discovered something if the book had problems. For example, the Heaven Devouring Emperor should have detected something and made the Academy pay for their act of treachery.

'It is also possible that Emperor Kong had better means of hiding his wrongdoings, so the Heaven Devour Emperor did not notice anything.'

Although Emperor Kong has a positive image in the entire world, he is even revered as a [Sage], which apparently may not be just a title. However, Wang Wei does not believe any Great Emperors are "good people."

He does not believe any cultivator is a good or morally upright individual. Even the Emperor of his sects–who also had a positive image–Wang Wei did not think that any of them did not do some shady things in their cultivation journey.

The Emperor Throne is one made of the bones of others. No one who sat on it does not have his hand stained with countless life; it is a throne synonymous with conquest and victors at the cost of others.
