Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor-Chapter 1132 Path of Skill

1132 Path of Skill

Wang Wei's eyes floated to the Southern Continent, directly on the Origin Pill Dao Sect. The vision originated from there, and more importantly, he saw the entire sect was on high alert as all their formation was activated. Wang Wei squinted before continuing to observe.

A few minutes later, the sky above the Myriad Emperor World changed as someone or something materialized: the Eye of True Heavenly Dao. The eye ignored everybody as it focused on the Origin Pill Dao Sect for a few minutes. Then, it did something that shocked many people: it released a Heaven Will to someone.

A figure soon floated from the Origin Pill Dao Sect and sat cross-legged in the void as they absorbed the Heaven Will.

'Lou Cheng,' thought Wang Wei with focused eyes. He did not say a word or intervene in any way possible; he just observed. Lou Cheng's aura rapidly increased, but to everyone's surprise - except Wang Wei and a few - it stopped when he was around 16% Grand Dao Source.

People immediately thought the first non-Eternal would be born in this era. While most were sad about this news, others felt relieved as this generation had slowly become an anomaly. Many cultivators felt this generation had raised the standard too high, which would affect the legacy of future Emperors and Heavenly Emperors.

However, the few wise individuals quickly took notice of something - the eye was still there. As expected, golden merit descended from the Heavens to enter Lou Cheng's body. Without a doubt, his cultivation rose to 20% Grand Dao, and he condensed his first golden lotus behind him.

Then, while his body was still enveloped by the golden hue from the merit, he soon condensed the second flower, signaling he had cast his Dao Will. All eyes were on him to watch for the third and final flower. The people saw a phantom of it rapidly condensing, and people believed it was already guaranteed that a ner Eternal would be born.

Swish!

The golden aura on Lou Cheng's dispersed before the third flower condensed, so it dispersed. A powerful aura emanated from his body with some flavor of an Eternal, but the people knew it was not - they'd seen too many and would not fail to recognize it.

The world gave birth to a Pseudo Eternal. Although not as good as just a First Class, people were still satisfied that this generation would not continue to show its upward trend indefinitely. Meanwhile, the Origin Pill Dao Sect people were somewhat dissatisfied but would never express it outward. Regardless of the circumstances, they had "cultivated" a new Great Emperor.

"I am the Meticulous Pill Emperor," Lou Cheng declared in a calm tone, his voice echoing worldwide. A terrifying vision swept the entire world community to celebrate his birth, and after bowing to the sky, True Heavenly Dao dissipated. Lou Cheng looked in the direction of the court before disappearing.

"The path of skill," Wang Wei muttered.

Primordial Chaos:

The Flame Emperor suddenly opened his eyes, which were full of intelligence and wisdom: 'So, it actually works in one of the primary Source Chaos Worlds? In that case, I can trust the data. As long as I can refine a pill with unparalleled skills that transcend my cultivation realm, I will activate a mechanism of Grand Dao that will reward me with a path to the realm of Half-Step Transcendence.'

The surroundings immediately became hotter, which scared the beings of this world. Luckily, the Flame Emperor swiftly controlled himself.

'Now, I have the idea. The issue is how to execute it.' A display of skills transcending his realm was not as easy as stated. Lou Cheng had the pill formula, which guided him in displaying skills transcending his realm and capabilities - which would then activate the mechanism and allow him to become immortal. However, the Flame Emperor had no such blueprint.

At this stage in his cultivation journey, he could say without a doubt that he had reached the pinnacle of pill refining when it came to skill. The people on par with him in the entire Chaos Universe are few and between, and they share the same problem: they can no longer improve.

'We can start from the basics,' the Flame Emperor thought. 'On a fundamental level, refining a pill can be divided into three skills: preparing the material, flame control, and combination. Material preparation involves understanding spiritual herbs, their properties, and how to use them. Flame control is how to prepare these materials and ensure all the materials's medicinal potentials are used to the limit.

'Combination is self-explanatory, but Divine Runes might or might not be involved depending on the system used. So, after knowing this, how can I improve my skills when I've perfected them already?'

The Flame Emperor's brow furrowed.

'Perfected? Someone once told me that only Grand Dao can claim to be perfect. In other words, my skills are far from being perfect.' His eyes lit up as a sudden light flashed in his mind. 'If I could find a way to detect all the flaws and imperfections of my skills and make up for them, eventually, I would transcend my current limitations.'

The Flame Emperor stood up from his throne.

'I would need a pair of powerful eyes that can see all my flaws or an item with the same ability.' As soon as he thought of this, the Flame Emperor thought of one person he could see and another world he could visit to find what he was looking for.

'If that does not work, I have no choice but to ask the All-Seeing Temple to divine the information for me.' The Flame Emperor did not want to use this method as one of those Seers could detect his true goal. Furthermore, he disdained how the temple only divined things based on someone's overall wealth, not the price of whatever they asked. These greedy Seers always know how much wealth someone has or can produce, so no matter who asks for their services, they will pay a steep price.

'I'm more inclined to summon a Pill Meeting instead,' grunted the Flame Emperor. With his status and his vast friend group, it would be best for him to invite countless Pill Paragons and have them detect the flaws in each other's skills. However, such a meeting will mostly devolve into fighting over whose skills are better - unless he could invite the [Venerable Pill Sage], the man who holds the position of the Pill Dao Position.

Of course, the Flame Emperor did not care for such squabbles among his peers since he was used to it. The only downfall of this method is that it will prolong the process of this project. The real reason he did not want to use it is because he went through all this trouble to find a path to transcendence and would not share it with anyone.

A flame enveloped the Emperor, and he disappeared. His experiment was successful, so there was no point in staying here anymore - especially since he had plenty of work to do. With the transcendent path opened to him, the Flame Emperor traveled to Primordial Chaos to fulfill his ambitions, not caring how the people of that world celebrated that they were finally free under the "tyranny" of that monster.

Myriad Emperor World:

Wang Wei was deep in thought after watching Lou Cheng proving the Dao. he sensed something and woke up, gazing at Yan Liling's projection.

"What just happened?" She watched everything but was still confused about how Lou Cheng proved the Dao. She was not the only one, as Wang Wei was probably the only one who saw the deeper secrets.

"Dao Proving Pill," he said.

"A pill that can make you an Emperor? No, it did not look like he swallowed any pill."

"He basically displayed enough skills to trigger a hidden mechanism of Heaven and Earth, which then rewarded him with a Heaven Will."

"Is that possible?" asked Yan Liling. "In hindsight, it makes sense given how the Heaven Will is decided in the Myriad Pill World." Only Alchemists proved the Dao in that world; their battle is just a display of their skills for Heavenly Dao to judge.

"You should think of the larger implications of this method," reminded Wang Wei.

ƈοm "Larger implications?" Yan Liling frowned. "You mean a path to transcendence?"

"Exactly. Lou Cheng is nothing but the Flame Emperor's pawn to test his experiment on his transcendent path. Luckily for you, it's a path that might suit you."

Yan Liling suddenly felt a little restless due to excitement. "Did you, by any chance, get your hands on the formula for the Dao Proving Pill?"

"No, that's the Flame Emperor's property, and I don't dare touch it."

"That's a shame."

"Not really," Wang Wei said calmly as he looked in the distance. "An opportunity might be coming soon."

Yan Liling's eyes lit up: "Don't forget to send it to me after you get it." She dispersed her projection, and less than thirty seconds later, Wang Wei received notification that someone wished to meet him.
