Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 914

"What will you do with me?" asked Old Man Tianji.

"What exactly do you mean?"

"I cannot nor do I want to be Heavenly Dao forever. So, what fate awaits me?"

"Why do I feel like you're in a hurry? Even if you want to retire, you can't do it in the next few generations."

"Since you're the first Heavenly Emperor, you should set precedents and prepare for everything. After all, you don't want any of your successors to ruin your legacy," replied Old Man Tianji.

Wang Wei paused and looked at this man up and down: "Most people will kill to be in your position. Why are you in a hurry?"

Being a container of Heavenly Dao is an alternative form of [Immortality], so Wang Wei knew how many people would kill to be in Old Man Tianji's positiona??even if they are restricted and lose their emotions.

"I agree to your request because it was the only way I could think of to continue my Heaven Dao. However, I have no desire to be stuck in this position for eternity," replied the elderly man without hiding the truth.

"Do you want to create an alternate method of Immortality?" asked Wang Wei.

"Yes. According to my idea, people can inherit my position and serve the court. In return, the reward would be a form of immortality after their terms end."

Wang Wei nodded his head as he remembered the Nine Devil God World. He did not expect Old Man Tianji to remain in his position forever; however, he also overlooked the possibility that his job was similar to the God Position.

"That's not a bad idea," he responded. "The presiding Heavenly Emperor will choose someone to inherit your position whenever you retire."

It will be a while before the old man can leave, so Wang Wei does not know the exact generation. So, such a job was left for future generations.

"That's fine. However, you should be careful when picking my successor."

"Of course I will. You can also give me some requirements to ensure no problems."

Only some people can bear the power of Heavenly Dao without any problem. People need strength, a firm Dao Heart and a profound state of mind to succeed. The position is very repulsive to people with ulterior motives.

Heavenly Dao cannot gain sentience because of the Sword Empress.

So, people who think they can use their power for selfish reasons will have their souls and minds obliterated after the fusion.

The two chatted for a few more minutes, designing a special trial to choose the next Heavenly Dao Vessel.

"How about my successor inheriting my name [Tianji]?"

Wang Wei squinted his eyes after hearing this. "Are there any secrets behind this name?"

"There are probably some."

"Why the uncertainty?"

"My inheritance is a unique one. Every generation's successor will inherit the name [Tianji]. In the past, many of our successors originated from the Heaven Mystery Pavilion."

"That would explain why they thrive in the divination department for so long."

Wang Wei previously had a decent relationship with the Heaven Mystery Pavilion after borrowing their 8-Trigram Turtle Shell to boost his divination and create his Heavenly Physique. However, after they gave his information to Di Tian and almost killed him, he did not associate with them.

Wang Wei knew they had no choice. After all, Di Tian was the one asking. With their weak strength, how could they refuse a request from the future patriarch of the Di Clan?

However, Wang Wei also knew they could have contacted him and dealt with the issue. With the Dao Opening Sect, how dare the Di clan do anything to them?

Alas, the Heaven Mystery Pavilion was used to remaining neutral, surviving in the cracks between powers. So, they gave away the information.

Ultimately, Wang Wei no longer considered repaying the karma he owed them for borrowing the 8-Trigram Turtle Shell. After the thing was useless to him, he returned it and had no connections with the pavilion.

"Do you know any more information about the name [Tianji]?"

"I only know the inheritance involved divination and secrets of Heaven and Earth. As for others, I don't know much."

"How long have they existed? Have there been any Great

Emperors?"

"Old Man Tianji frowned after hearing this question; it seemed it was hard for him to know the answer to these questions.

"No Emperor and our inheritance appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the Ancient Emperor Era."

Wang Wei could tell he was telling the truth. The most interesting thing about this conversation is he could not divine any information about the name [Tianji]. He sensed an information blockade about the name, meaning even members of the sect do not know much about their lineage, nor is it easy to reveal.
