Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 497

Chapter 497 Tough Talk

"I told you he would survive," said Wang Wucheng.

"Yes," replied the familiar voice. "However, this is still not enough to beat the kid from the Di Clan."

"It doesn't matter. As long as he survives the Heaven Will Battle, we can search for Karma Washing Water for him so he can compete in the next generation," replied Wang Wucheng.

"Oh, you want to go that far?"

"I truly believe this kid will be the greatest Emperor we will ever cultivate."

"*Sigh* The sect has reached a plateau and could even be described as declining. No, the entire Myriad Emperor World has been declining for a long time now. Maybe, this kid is the key to revert the current situation."

"What about the Di clan brat?" asked Wang Wucheng.

"Honestly, I have a bad feeling about him."

"In that case, why don't you kill him."

"Don't make such a stupid joke."

Wang Wucheng smiled but did not say anything else. He knew the consequences of doing such a thing: Wang Wei would not live long. If an Immortal-Tier cultivator broke the Immortal-Avenue Pact and attacked a Heaven Chosen of another sect, they can do the same.

And unless Wang Wei decided to spend the rest of his life coop inside the sect, he would not live long even under extreme protection. And even then, all the Emperor Lineages would band together to pressure the Dao Opening Sect to hand him over.

Unfortunately, the sect cannot fight all the Emperor Linages all at once.

Meanwhile, after leaving the secret realm, Wang Wei's Primordial Spirit flew toward the Wang Clan Mountain. And before he even arrived, three people instantly arrived in front.

"My son, thank Heaven, you're alright," said Yu Yan as she tried to embrace him. Unfortunately, her hands passed through his soul, so she had to use her Spiritual Strenght and Origin Essence to hold him.

"Look how much of a terrible shape you're in. I swear, every time you go out on your own, you return in worst shape than before."

"There is no need to thank Heaven since it has nothing to do with my safety," said Wang Wei with a smile.

"I'm glad you're okay, brat," said his grandfather.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so pale? Plus, why does the sect look like a tornado had ravaged it?" asked Wang Wei to his father.

"Well, things got a little complicated," said Wang Tian as he explained the World Collision and the confrontation with the Blood Race. After the initial peace because of his slaughter, the blood race did not stop attacking as he expected.

Instead, they regrouped and allied before beginning the second wave of attack. So, Wang Tian had to forcefully heal before going on another rampage. Wang Wei immediately knew this was the method Heavenly Dao used to prevent the sect from helping him in the trial.

"I have to thank your team; otherwise, the casualties would have been even worse."

"Oh, what happened?" asked Wang Wei, intrigued.

"Whether it was Li Jun's Slaughter Army or Tie Gang's Undead Army, they ravaged the enemy on the battlefield. Plus, Yang Liling used her new weird cauldron to support most of the sect's need for pills."

"Oh, she succeeded in creating the Automatic Cauldron?"

"According to her, it is a half completed product since so far, it can only make a few Heaven Tier Pills."

"Did she get any merit?"

"Quite a bit," replied Yu Yan this time. "There was a Heaven and Earth Vision because of her creation. But she said she would leave for you to decide what to do with it since it was your idea."

Wang Wei shook his head: "I'll just take a small bit to recondense my fleshly body. She can use the rest to complete the cauldron."

"So, what happened to you?" asked Wang Chang. "Your clone disappeared, and we were worried."

"Yes. Luckily, your Soul Lamp was still intact; otherwise, your mother would have fainted."

Wang Wei was not surprised by this news. When Zhen Chao broke his Spirit Particles, he could detect the latter used the power of Karma to eliminate the secret backhand he placed on the clone.

So, Wang Wei explained what happened to him and his confrontation with Zhen Chao. He even mentioned the appearance of Empyrean Black Heart.

Thinking about how close their sons came to death, all of them shuddered.

"It seems we have to thank Hong'er," said Yu Yan. As smart as they are, both she and Wang Tian knew how complicated their son's relationship was because of Wu Hong's identity. So, they still have some reserved because of it–albeit they never voiced them since they understood this was their son's choice.

But now, they were delighted because Wu Hong's identity saved their son's life.

"Wei'er, you should not let Zhen Chao's family's death weigh on you. The Emperor Path is a cruel one, and innocent people being collateral casualties is a normal thing. Although cruel, it is how things are since the dawn of time," said Wang Chang, and Wang Wei nodded. He already knew this, so Zhen Chao's words only bothered him a little before he moved on.
