Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 722 Lou Cheng's Situation

Wang Wei calmly looked at everything that occurred. He planned an attack on 3000 locations, 2000 from public shops and the rest from mines or unique resource spots. Wang Wei did not choose anymore because the chance of the Spirit Genesis Sect detecting something and interfering increased.

After the plan began, his cautions proved correct. Only 1800 attacks on public shops succeeded, and a few of 300 of the special resources location succeeded. As for the others, the Spirit Genesis Sect detected something and prevented the attackers from succeeding.

Per Wang Wei's instructions or meticulous planning, none of the attackers survived, so the sect could not find any information.

'This is just the beginning. The next step is for you people to squirm,' thought Wang Wei with a sneer, as he could predict the Spirit Genesis Sect's next step.

They will suspect the Dao Opening Sect has a secret force in their world and even infiltrates their home base. So, they will do a rapid internal clean-up, capturing and killing countless foreign faction spies. However, things will become interesting after not finding any connection to the Dao Opening Sect.

They will become suspicious and even kill many of their own disciples; as long as there are any suspicions, the disciples will be either severely interrogated or killed.

Unfortunately, they will still not discover anything. Typically, ordinary people should give up. However, intelligent people often have a problem: they think too much. And that's when things will become interesting.

The Spirit Genesis Sect's political system is similar to the Dao Opening Sect, with families and a sectarian faction. The only difference is their sect is more balance between the clans and the sectarian faction. Nevertheless, there is bound to have competition and disagreement between the three factions.

So, they will begin to suspect and accuse each other after not finding the "hidden force" of the Dao Opening Sect. Of course, Wang Wei knew it was impossible to take down a sect with such a long and powerful heritage with this minor dispute.

He knew the ancestors would step up if things become out of hand. His purpose is to tone down the Spirit Genesis Sect's arrogance while keeping them busy so they don't do any more stupid and reckless acts.

"I always knew Dao Lords and Overlords were scary, but it's the first time I've experienced it personally," said Sword One, who watched the entire event through the Soul Network.

"Indeed," added Origin One, thinking about the benefit of this method instead of a direct battle. From now on, the Spirit Genesis Sect will always be on the lookout, wondering whether their enemy will attack them; they always have to watch out for their backs since the enemy is in the shadow and they're in the light.

This revenge plan surprised all the ancestors except for the Steward since he knew about the Demon Supremacy World from Wang Wucheng. The sect master destroyed an entire civilization in a few months and gave humans the opportunity to take the status of the world's protagonist from the demon race. So, he was not surprised.

"All we have to do is wait to see if they will respond," commented Wang Wei. And Wang Wei did not have to wait long; he noticed something the next day.

"What is it?" asked Origin One when he saw the frown on Wang Wei's face.

"I can no longer access the souls in their world community," he replied.

"What does that mean?"

"It means they might have used something similar to the Human Preservation Array and completely isolated the Battle Spirit World."

"Since our world can have such World Wide Array, it's normal for others to do the same," said the Steward. "Now, we know one of the hidden trumps cards, and that's more than enough."

"Indeed," nodded Wang Wei. He also wondered whether the Battle Spirit World would be like the Myriad Emperor World and have different formations from different racial groups or maybe one formation for the entire world.

'I cannot find these answers anytime soon, so there is no point in thinking about them,' thought Wang Wei before leaving the secret realm. He saluted the ancestors before exiting to see Yan Liling and give her the Slaughter Heart.

He wanted to enter seclusion immediately, but he had a divination that his father's battle with Ji Lanfang was approaching, so he decided to wait.

Origin Pill Dao Sect:

Lou Cheng sat cross-legged, deep in cultivation, surrounded by a mysterious formation floating above his head. He was sweating profusely, which was odd since cultivators no longer needed to expire after the Divine Sea Realm.

Lou Cheng's face became pale as his aura leaked, showing his cultivation in the Quasi-Emperor. No one knew the person in this generation with the highest cultivation was the sect master of the Origin Pill Dao Sect.

He suddenly opened his bloodshed eyes before exhaling loudly.

"The simulation failed again," he muttered with a sense of loss. Ever since he received the Proving Dao Pill Formula and the Flame Emperor's inheritance, he used his Innate Talent to become one of the best Pill Masters of this generation.

He took control of the Origin Pill Dao Sect so he would have no problem with resources for his cultivation and to prepare for the future. Then, he focused on refining this heaven-defying pill.

The Flame Emperor knew it would be risky for Lou Cheng to attempt refining the pill without practice and experience. So, he left a special formation that allowed him to do simulations in an Illusion World. As long as he succeeds in the illusion, he can also succeed in real life.

Unfortunately, it was highly challenging to refine this pill. To be precise, many parts of the formula seemed like speculation or unverified theories, thus drastically increasing the success rate.

"And this is just one of the many problems," muttered Lou Cheng under his breath. He shook his head before walking out of the cultivation; he decided to relax and drink some tea.

He did not like to drink tea. But ever since that person took over his body, he unconsciously developed the hobby. A few minutes while resting, Lou Cheng sensed someone coming into the room, and a rare smile appeared on his rigid face.

"Senior Sister," he said with a smile.

"We are married. Why do you insist on calling me senior sister?" asked Lan Ling.

"Because I like it," said Lou Cheng, thinking about the past. The truth is Lou Cheng does not feel his current life is real. He achieved his dream of being a renowned alchemist, and the senior sister he could only dream about was now his wife.

And Lou Cheng did not know whether to thank that person, the Infatuation Flower, or fate.

In general, he has a lot of complicated feelings toward Wang Wei–especially regarding his fifth senior sister and his rise as a Pill Master. 

The latter did not succumb to the aphrodisiac in that cave and did not sully the fifth sister's innocence. If he did not, their relationship would be even more complicated. After all, Lan Ling is a reserved and old fashion person, so she would have accepted his offer of taking responsibility after the event and marrying him.

However, he did not know how he would feel if that was the reason they became Dao Companions. As for the Infatuation Flower, he immediately told her about it after Wang Wei left, not wanting her to be influenced. However, the fifth sister did not mind and said it was fate.

Afterward, their master placed more seals on the flower, lowering its effect. Then, the two got to know each other until they fell in love and became Dao Companion.

Finally, Lou Cheng felt complicated regarding his rise as an alchemist. The source of his fame and glory evolved around his Innate Talent: Precision. However, he knew for certain he could not develop it to the extent Wang Wei developed it.

Maybe, he would not even acquire it in the first place if the latter did not occupy his body. Innate Talent is unique to every individual. And during that period, Wang Wei was Lou Cheng, but Lou Cheng was not Wang Wei. He may have acquired such a promising talent because of Wang Wei's existence.

Then, there is the more complicated issue with Flame Emperor; he's the latter's heir, but could he have become one without Wang Wei? He did not know exactly since the Flame Emperor chose him instead of Wang Wei.

However, Lou Cheng is also intelligent to know it might be because he is an easier pawn to control, hence why the Flame Emperor chose him.

Over the years, he has grown and is no longer the naive young man who only knew how to refine pills. He experienced too many political intrigues and assassination attempts, so he had to grow rapidly to reach his current state.

As such, he could analyze and understand many things his younger self would be entirely ignorant of.

"What are you thinking so deeply about?" asked Lan Ling.
