Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 562

Chapter 562 Ultimate Glorious Age

Wang Wei opened his eyes and exhaled deeply. After two days, he was now back in his prime state. He finally checked the communication talisman Wang Ju sent him, making him frown slightly.

'Did he detect something?' thought Wang Wei. 'It seems I may be unable to get my hands on Di Jia.' After deciding to try a wait-and-see approach, he left his seclusion to stretch his body.

He had many things to do and would return to a retreat soon. But he decided to check on the sect's affairs first. After all, he was still the sect master. As such, he had a conversation with the Elders to ensure there was no problem and the sect's plan to develop in the Lower Realm had no issues.

Once he finished, he flew back to his mountain to continue his cultivation. As a sect master, he could use Tianwei Peak as it had the most Spiritual Qi and was the best environment for cultivating in the sect. However, Wang Wei loved the comfort of his home, so he rarely used it. He even planned to move the spiritual energy from Tianwei Peak to his Fate Transcending Mountain.

After arriving home, he saw Wang Ju waiting for him.

"What's the matter?"

"We have a few things that require your attention."

Wang Wei motioned for her to head inside before hearing her. A protected environment was better for these kinds of conversations. Wang Ju then handed him a list with a bunch of names.

"These names are the Sleepers who infiltrated the army of the other Heaven Chosens. 300 years ago, after you entered the trial, Fang Lijuan, Chen Chen, Sun Jiaolong, and Huang Yuan began to slowly and methodically eradicate them from their groups.

"Although they did it slowly and intermittently, they started doing it simultaneously."

"So, they wanted to hide their trials? Making it seems that eradication was natural?"

"Exactly," replied Wang Ju. "The key point is Mo Xingyun. The Mo Family did a sweep of the Sleepers and eliminated most of them in their clans. In this clean-up, even our Fate Shadow Guards did not survive."

"I see. Mo Xingyun most likely has a method to detect the agents and sold it to these Heaven Chosens. There is even a high possibility that they are in an alliance."

"Yes, that's the conclusion we came to. Many Heaven Chosens have been removing the Sleepers from their armies–including from the Sea Race."

"Them? Did they finally begin to move?"

"Yes. The Heaven Chosen representing the Sea Race in this generation's Heaven Will Battle is Yi Liancheng: an Abyssal Squid."

"What's that?" asked Wang Wei, as he had never heard of such a species.

"That's what he calls himself. However, he is probably from the Deep Squid Race but had some mutation."

"You don't sound too sure?"

"The Deep Squid race supports Yi Liancheng, but their relationship seems odd. Moreover, Yi Liancheng is very secretive. So far, all we know is that he beat all the Heaven Chosen of the Sea Race, had a confrontation with Sun Jiaolong, and almost killed the latter.

Wang Wei nodded as he did not care much about Sun Jiaolong. He allowed the other to escape after taking the Human Destiny Sword because he knew the Great Wu Crown Prince had a high affinity with Destiny Dao. And letting him live might help him gather the Luck Condensing Treasure of the other races.

"What happened to Xiao Songxi?"

"He lost to Yi Liancheng. However, he is now in the process of taking the Patriarch position from his half-brother."

Wang Wei smacked his lips as he could guess what was going on. Xiao Songxi's father had another child that was pure Baishe. Now, these two brothers were fighting for control over the clan.

"There is something else you should know," said Wang Ju.

"What is it?"

"Our spy has heard a rumor that the Baishe clan has a 5-star Star Sage sealed, and Xiao Songxi wants to become the patriarch to get access to it."

"So, he wants to ask the Star Sage how to prove the Dao in this generation? Even how to become an Eternal Emperor?" muttered Wang Wei to himself. "How credible is that rumor?"

"It's not very credible. If the Baishe clan had a Star Sage of that level, they would have used it long ago."

"Unless they find a way to increase the bloodline of a lesser Star Sage," commented Wang Wei.

"The Star Sage bloodline is one of the few very restrictive bloodlines. There has never been a precedent of one person going from 1 star to 2 stars, let alone achieve the highest 5 stars level."
