Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 917

The three-hundred-year deadline approached, and every faction was ready for the second meeting. The anticipation was so great that most people did not care that the Blood Earth–one of the six Forbidden Lands–disappeared after a visit from the Heavenly Emperor.

Anyway, the Western Pure Bliss Land was dealt with by Feng Heng, so people began to believe only a few Forbidden Lands would survive this era.

With the second meeting approaching, people waited with bated breath. They hoped and feared this meeting would be as world-changing as the first one. In the past three hundred years, they have experienced the benefit of the Heavenly Court's rule.

They wish the Heavenly Emperor would bring them even more benefit. Of course, some worry about drastically improving the Dao Opening Sect's military and political power. Sadly, such a thing was inevitable and could not be changed.

The day of the meeting:

Everyone stood in the throne room, calmly waiting. Everyone arrived earlier and slowly waited without any signs of impatience. Then, at the allocated time, Wang Wei slowly walked into the room and sat in the chair.

"The officials have seen Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor."

The voices of thousands of people echoed in the room. Many people did a ninety-degree bow, while those with sufficient strength only saluted with a slight bow.

"At ease," said Wang Wei with a chuckle. He did not take the fact these people referred to themselves as his official to heart. So far, only Wu Ming and a few devil cultivators have habited the court.

Although many were tempted, they seemed to come up with an agreement to continue and wait. However, Wang Wei did not care since time was to his advantage.

While these factions were still indecisive, his Dao Opening Sect was taking full advantage of the court's benefits.

Wang Wei looked at everyone before landing on Xu Shi's.

'A unique Emperor Soul? It should be tempered using Primordial Energy,' analyzed Wang Wei. 'Her strength should have reached the 3-Fold Battle Realm, with the potential to ascend to the 4-Fold Realm.'

Wang Wei could tell Xu Shi was in the process of creating a unique Body Refining Technique; to be precise, she will complete the one she was already cultivating. Once she succeeds and achieves 40 Infant Fiendgod Force, she will enter the 4-Fold Battle Realm.

'A unique technique. From now on, the Academy will have an Insurgent Technique similar to the Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture.'

After briefly checking on Xu Shi, Wang Wei did not pay much attention to the others. In such a short period of 300 years, they did not make much improvement–even with the current benefit of the court. Most of these Eternal Level Powerhouses were saving their merit for later use.

Xu Shi made such rapid improvements due to her Time Dao. Like Wang Wei, she has more time to cultivate than everyone else.

"As much as I would love to chat and form a bond between Emperor and Officials. Unfortunately, only a few of you are pleasing to look at. So, let's be direct. Do you have anything to notify me?"

No one cared about the Emperor's rude words. They had already done a character analysis on him and knew he was the type of person who could use societal rules and etiquette to his advantage or directly disregard them.

Furthermore, they also knew the reason for his words. As expected, Patriarch Mo walked to the front.

"The people in the West have been enlightened by the Emperor's words and decided to correct our ways," said Patriarch Mo while bowing. "To repay the Emperor's kindness, we have brought an offering."

Although the Emperor can break the proper etiquette and rules, he could not. Otherwise, these other factions will use such an act against him and the devil cultivators.

With a wave of his hand, a large black cauldron shone with golden lights in the middle of the room. Myriad eyes, full of greed, were directed at it, but no one dared act.

Wang Wei raised his hand, and the cauldron rushed to his hand, shrinking to palm size before arriving. He checked the merit inside and nodded in satisfaction.

"I have to say, Mo Patriarch, you are quite the capable official," commented Wang Wei, not hiding his appreciation for the latter. In such a short time, the man devised a way to save the devil race from extermination. Furthermore, he used the most ruthless and efficient method possible.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."

"I'm glad I did not have to annihilate you and the devil cultivators. If your plan of betraying the world and introducing a foreign Emperor to deal with me were put in motion, I would have massacred every last one of you."

Patriarch Mo's body trembled as he felt a terrifying gaze weighing on him. Luckily, he never moved from his bowing position; otherwise, he could not fathom the fear of directly facing those eyes.

'How did he know our plan? Did someone betray us? No, with someone of his strength and Dao, it should be easy to divine the truth.'

"Your majesty, my actions back then were nothing but a moment of poor judgment. I promise it will never happen again."
