Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 571

Chapter 571 The Upper Seeded Players

Wang Wei no longer said anything to Liang Shixian regarding his ideals and goals. He took out the book about the Soul Path and reread it with greater focus.

Liang Shixian did a lot of research on the soul beforehand. He studied incense, different cultivation systems, and spirits; he even traveled to the Ghost Immortal World, which was a world that focused on cultivating the soul to the point of entirely abandoning the body.

From the book, Wang Wei saw that the latter included many studies in the Soul Path, even suggesting that all God Kings abandoned their bodies to achieve an Immortal Soul.

Other methods included fusing Immortal Qi or some other forms of energy with the soul, using a massive amount of incense, cultivating an immortal body before sacrificing it to nourish the soul and turning it into an Immortal Soul, and finally, using other resources like the law to elevate the soul to another level.

After reading everything carefully, Wang Wei frowned: "Why don't you try modeling the soul after an Emperor? If a soul has the quality and quantity of an Emperor, it will become an Immortal Soul."

"I know the easiest way for the Soul Path to become a reality is to have a Great Emperor use their Grand Dao Source to temper a mortal soul. But, as I said, I don't want my path to have anything to do with them."

"And as I said, you will have to rely on them."

"Yes, but I can reduce the amount of influence they have on my path."

"Fine," said Wang Wei as he contemplated. He activated all his spirit particles, acting like a super-computer as he analyzed many things.

"I think I may have a way that used incense," he said a few minutes later.

"Really? What is it?"

Wang Wei did not immediately respond: he took out a highly binding contract before inscribing it with his Divine Sense. Liang Shixian looked at the contract and hesitated.

"Since I come to see you, I'll put my faith in your character. There is no need for the contract."

"I admire your nobility. But, we should never mix business with personal beliefs. The contract is for both our peace of mind."

Liang Shixian thought it would help their future cooperation, so he agreed. However, after reading the contract, he frowned: "Why are all the rules about secrecy? They seem a little too harsh."

He could not reveal any information, and the rules even involved his memories and soul; the contract would prevent anyone from getting information from him–even if it meant killing him.

"The method I came with involved some secrets I do not want to get out before I prove the Dao, hence the harshness. If you want to remove these clauses, it's fine. But, I won't share the method I came up with you until I prove the Dao."

Liang Shixian shook his head as he did not want this; he did not want to wait that long. So, he decided to accept the clause and continued reading. Once finished, he added a few clauses as well:

Wang Wei had to use other means not involved with the Emperor's Path, and the final division of merit would be decided based on the ingenuity method he thought of.

So, after a few debates and back and forth, the two signed the contract with their souls before taking an oath to their Dao. Finally, Wang Wei told him the method he thought of for the Soul Path.

The required secrecy was because this method involved another one of his plans after becoming Emperor that would affect the entire Endless Void. He did not want the information to leak and cause trouble.

With his mouth slightly opened, Liang Shixian looked at him: "You're crazy and ambitious. But I'm glad I chose you."

He had eyes on both Wang Wei and Chu Luo as his partner and chose the former after close observation. Chu Luo had an unapproachable vibe that kept most people at a distance.

"If your plan works, shouldn't there be no need for a Great Emperor?"

"That's possible but very unlikely."

"I figured."

Afterward, the two discussed the plan's possible success and the division of merit. Once everyone was satisfied with the outcome, Liang Shixian left; he had accomplished his primary goal of coming here.

He did not want to leave yet since he still hoped to get his hands on the inheritance despite knowing it was improbable. So, he decided to watch to the end to see if there was an opportunity.

Time passed, and it was time for the combat aspect of the trial. Wang Wei flew to the plaza and saw two podiums facing each other, with six seats. The one on the left with his name on the second seat had the words "Lower Seeded Player," while the other had the title 'Upper Seeded Player.'
