Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor-Chapter 1461 An Important Target
Chapter 1461 An Important Target
Su Dandan, Xie Xiaolie, and the remaining survivors looked at Tang Lihua on the floor in shock, wondering what she did to piss off the Primal Seed. They also asked whether such a cruel punishment was necessary, given how harsh her screaming voice was. However, Wang Wei did not explain his actions, despite the fact they raised the tension in the room.
Then, after a few minutes of wrangling her body in agony, Tang Lihuan opened her mouth to cough out a black gas. Wang Wei was ready and immediately sealed it inside a cube barrier, neutralizing it. He observed closely as the gas slowly transformed into a black and blue caterpillar.
"Isn't that the first stage of a Source Dream Butterfly?" someone asked. Source Dream Butterfly was a spirit creature born from the power of dreams. It's considered the best companion for Dream and Nightmare Daos cultivators as it can boost their cultivation and aid them in battles.
"No, this is not just an ordinary Source Dream Butterfly," Wang Wei muttered. "Someone modified it to serve as a parasitic entity."
"But why?" Su Dandan asked. "Do they want to infiltrate our sect?"
Wang Wei did not answer her since her analysis was the most surface level. This butterfly was one of these transcendent factions' responses to his [History Lock]. The lock prevented information leakage to foreign entities and not citizens of the Eternal Ascension World.
The butterfly's purpose was to slowly analyze Tang Lihua's [Existence] under the guise of helping her cultivate. Once the butterfly understood enough, it could mask itself as a "citizen" of the Eternal Ascension World and learn any information from Tang Lihua without her even noticing or the lock taking effect.
'I knew these factions had a way to bypass the lock, but I didn't expect them to come up with it so soon,' Wang Wei thought. The situation was more dire than he thought. He knew it was only a matter of time before these factions learned about the Eternal Ascension World's situation, but he felt he had more time than this.
Wang Wei shifted his gaze to these people, checking all of their existence. Luckily, it seemed Tang Lihua was the only one targeted. "Listen," Wang Wei said calmly. "From now on, do not trust any fortunate encounter you have. If something good happens to you, report it to the sect for someone to check. Understand?"
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes asking whether this was necessary. "Forget it," Wang Wei said. "After I return, everyone will be checked. There will also be new rules about reporting your fortunate encounter." The situation was about to change and now was no time to be careless. So, Wang Wei decided to target the problem from the core and change the sect's rules.
"But the sect's rules have always been personal fortunate encounters belonging to the individual," someone said.
"But the sect's rules have always been personal fortunate encounters belonging to the individual," someone said.
"No one is asking you to hand over your encounter. The sect will only check your body to ensure someone was not treating you as pawns," Wang Wei explained calmly. He also realized he needed to refine a second artifact to hand over to the sect. Otherwise, he'll waste a lot of time with security measures.
"But–"
"Our sect is about to experience a catastrophe, and this level of caution and security is required," Su Dandan cut in. "You need to change your mindset and start thinking of the overall situation." Indeed, a few of these people have not changed their mindset. Now that they were Paragons, they were the Grand Elders of the sect, and their mode of thinking needs to change.
"Alright, there will be plenty of time for you to adapt," Wang Wei said. "I called you here for something else. It's time for you to leave."
"You mean now? Immediately?" Yan Jie asked.
"Yes," Wang Wei nodded. He immediately noticed some of them had their own reservations and understood why. Although the competition ended, some of these people were also body refiners and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to reach the Fifth Heaven of the Elder Fiendgod Realm.
"The trial is no longer safe, meaning it's time for you to leave." The Dao Opening Sect participants did not argue with him since he was the leader. Even if some of them had grown a little arrogant after becoming Paragons, they knew what kind of monster they were facing without Wang Wei doing anything.
'The next step is to check on the remaining survivors,' Wang Wei thought. He used his Soul Network to meet with all the surviving members of the Eternal Ascension World. Officially, this meeting was to warn them to leave early since the chaos was coming. However, his real objective was looking for people whose [Existence] was secretly tampered with. And, as expected, he found more than seven individuals.
Wang Wie did not immediately deal with these people. Instead, he secretly placed his acupoint technique on their bodies and delayed the activation until they returned home. He did not want to alarm the enemy by removing all their spies with such swift movement.
'Alright, it's finally time to get to my business,' Wang Wei thought before teleporting to a temple in the corner of the Safety Zone. The temple was located the furthest distance from the most populated area, and it released the power of a formation that made people instinctively ignore it. The temple was built with gray marble material and pillars all around.
The first thing Wang Wei noticed was the statues and engravings, which all involved the River of Fate or people worshiping it. At the top of the temple was a single blind eye, which was the symbol of the All-Seeing Temple. 'A bit on the nose, isn't it?' Wang Wei thought before activating the Heaven Deception Array engraved in his Sea of Consciousness to the limit.
Then, he casually walked through this temple's defense. All the arrays and defensive protections were "deceived" and thought he did not exist. So, Wang Wei casually strolled through this temple, heading directly to the room where he sensed the sign of life.
"Damn these bastards from the Eternal Ascension World," said an elderly woman. Wang Wei saw she was looking at a mirror with gritted teeth while swallowing pills like crazy. From the residual aura in the room, he deduced she had just attempted to divine information about the Eternal Ascension World and failed, suffering some level of backlash in the process.
"I don't believe I can't crack your method," the elderly woman said with gritted teeth. A third eye appeared on her forehead as she jammed her fingers into her heart, drawing five drops of golden blood.
"I can't have you dying or weakening."
"Who's there!" The elderly woman turned her head before stumbling five steps back. She saw what could only be described as the embodiment of nothingness — an all-encompassing force that is the origin of all things and the end of all Daos. Wang Wei d slowly approached her, and with a thought, the golden blood returned to her body.
He then summoned the previously crafted seed artifact before planting it inside her body. "Done," he muttered as he watched the seed fuse with her on a fundamental level. Wang Wei has been worrying about the [All Fate Calamity Prophecy], planning how he can increase his chances of not being discovered.
He created many plans, including putting an act with the Heaven Deception Array that he had lost his Fate Dao. He also planned on using the Paradox Ceremony to change the information people knew about him. However, he ultimately decided that these plans were too complicated and could, in fact, increase his suspicions instead of decreasing them.

After a long process of elimination, he finally concocted a plan. The core of his issue is the prophecy, so he decided to start from there. He decided to add his own "prophecy" to protect himself and point people in the wrong direction.
"Let's see what the All-Seeing Temple is about," Wang Wei muttered as he reviewed the information he got from the elderly woman. Firstly, her name is Grandma Ju, and she became a Paragon, her status in the temple was elevated from Second Class to First Class Seer. If she can become a peak Paragon, she can become a Supreme Class Seer, and above that is the Primal Seer. However, in the temple, there is only one Primal Seer, and she's the one who made the All Heaven Fate Calamity.
"That means I will have to raise her to be a Primal Paragon," Wang Wei complained. Grandma Ju's cultivation was only 91%, which was a long way to go. The good news is she was now linked to Wang Wei through the Artifact, so it should not be an issue to swiftly manipulate her to reach that level as long as he reaches it too.
'I wanted to spread a new prophecy as soon as possible. I guess that's impossible unless I could secretly take down that Primal Seer,' he thought while shaking his head.
