Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

1205 The Sect's Investment

Wang Wei walked into the next room, and he immediately noticed the three separate piles. He walked to the nearest one and saw countless artifacts and talismans, the weakest being Immortal Tiers.

'Thousands of Emperor Artifacts and hundreds of Empyrean Artifacts,' Wang Wei counted. 'And that's not counting the unrefined material.' Wang Wei smiled as he now no longer had to worry about the material for his Proving Dao Artifact. His gaze shifted to two things at the center of the pile; it was hard to ignore them, given how they were the only thing levitating or releasing any lights.

He immediately recognized one of these items as an information talisman, and the other resembled a piece of thick gray glass the size of his palm. 'The power of fate?' He thought as he sensed the glass' aura.

He did not hesitate to receive the information in the talisman, which was more extensive than he expected. Luckily, such information was only a small burden to his soul, and only because he absorbed everything at once.

'An Encyclopedia of all the Eternal Ascension World's materials, ores, and spiritual herbs? It even includes unique materials in the Source Qi Space and Primordial Chaos.'

Wang Wei nodded as this talisman once again saved him a lot of time. He also knew what the primary material floating before him was.

'Such a large piece of Fate Glass - the sect is indeed rich,' he commented. Fate Glass is a rare material created from condensing another rare material ⌜€“ Primal Fate Sand.

'With only this thing, I can elevate my artifact to the Ultimate Realm, meaning a boost of 2-fold.' Although Wang Wei did not need the artifact to achieve a 10-fold Battle Realm, it would still be helpful - especially in the upper dimension, where powerful weapons or artifacts are even more valuable than before.

Without Heavenly Dao's limitation, a top Emperor can survive or fight an Empyrean with a Tier 11 artifact. Of course, the backlash is also no joke. Wang Wei has already planned to find a way for his proving Dao artifact to be on par with Paragon so that it won't be a problem for him after achieving Taboo Realm again.

He walked to the second pile, which contained pills of different varieties and levels. He put them away with a smile before walking to the last pile, a spiritual garden with raw herbs. Wang Wei realized the garden itself was a Supreme Innate Treasure used to accelerate the cultivation of all kinds of herbs, including Emperor and Empyrean Tier.

Wang Wei walked to the third room, which was a vast library with countless cultivation techniques. Thirty-four items floated in the middle of the room, one of which was a note that read:

[These bastards have complete control over the Myriad Temple Record, so we left these cultivation systems for you in case you need them. We also chose the 33 best and most unique scriptures from our sect for you.] Wang Wei had heard of the Myriad Temple Record, a place that housed all the cultivation systems of the Eternal Ascension World. Its fundamental purpose was the same thing Wang Wei did in the lower world with the Dream World, which allowed people to find the most suited cultivation systems for them by having access to other world communities.

Wang Wei checked out these 33 scriptures and was surprised to find the ones from all nine Origin Emperors from the lower dimension. He randomly took the Rainbow Emperor's Scripture and flipped through it.

'It's different. No, it should be the new improvised version after she became a Paragon,' Wang Wei commented. Although this scripture only contained the Empyrean part, it was valuable to him. Wang Wei then immediately checked the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture], and as expected, it indeed was the upgraded version.

'Using a physical manifestation of the entire world to temper and strengthen the body? I didn't expect him to go this route. However, it seems to be a method to reduce resources by exchanging hard work and pain, meaning it's also good at tempering willpower. I could turn this technique into a cultivation bloodline technique.'

Wang Wei wanted to continue using bloodline for his body cultivation because, with the right bloodline, he only needed enough resources and time for him to grow. The new Desolate Body Refining will further accelerate the process.

He checked all the other primary scriptures; as the note stated, they were all unique and worth learning from. So, he put everything away before walking to the next room.

'Whoever designed this place is a little dramatic. Couldn't they just place everything in one room?' Wang Wei complained as he entered the fourth room. He looked around and saw five items: two puppets, two artifacts, and one talisman. The aura in these artifacts made his Treasured Eyes shine. He walked to them, found notes before these things, and read them.

[The first puppet is your Dao Protector. Unfortunately, our sect is under intense gaze, so we could only provide you with a Paragon puppet with 90% strength. However, it is designed to burn itself to increase its power in an emergency, so use it appropriately.] Wang Wei looked at this puppet, and it looked indistinguishable from a normal human. He even checked with his divine sense, could not tell it was a puppet, and only noticed it after using other abilities.

'I can't believe I would have another Dao Protector in my life,' Wang Wei thought. He shook his head before continuing with the note.

[The second puppet is a Death Substitute Puppet, a Longevity Treasure to save your life.]

'They went all out,' Wang Wei thought, genuinely surprised. He had his reservations about the sect's help for two reasons. Firstly, he worried they would not treat him so well because the ancestors were not there, and he was just an Empyrean from the lower dimension. He guessed they would treat him because of his talent and achievement, but not to this extent.

The second and primary reason is the Dao Opening Sect's motto of not cuddling geniuses. He thought that with those rules, they would have provided him with the basics and left him to his own device.

He turned to look at the first artifact: a small black-gold armor with a metal ball floating next to it; all encased in a white ball slightly larger than his palm.

[This is the Black Dragon Armor Set, a Supreme Chaos Treasure left for you. Be careful that the burden and backlash of using such a weapon is heavy despite being way less than any Paragon Artifact.] Wang Wei's eyes shine. 'With this thing, I may be able to fight a weaker Paragon for a short period.' He smiled before focusing on the second artifact. 'So familiar,' he thought as he looked at the turtle shell.

[This is the Baxian Turtle Shell, another Supreme Chaos Treasure for divination. I believe this should work well with your Dao.]

Wang Wei smiled brightly, "Whoever designed this is very meticulous." He looked at the last item, the talisman.

[A Tier 12 Void Rushing Talisman to run away against these parasites. I don't think I need to say this, but there is no shame in running away. Pick your battles since your life matters more than even this so-called destiny. And once again, use this with caution.] Wang Wei put everything away before walking to the last room. This one contained a note and a talisman.

[Sadly, this is all the help we can currently provide. However, the situation is truly dire, and you have no more hope or options; you can return to the sect, and we will protect you - even at the cost of our destruction.

[We have held back ourselves and endured the humiliation ever since these people came to power. But if they push us too far, we do not mind dying in a blaze of glory.]

'What a powerful will,' Wang Wei thought. He could tell the person who wrote this note truly felt this way. Although it was not guaranteed that this was the whole sect's attitude, it was still impressive.

[Lastly, the talisman contained ways for you to contact us. You only need to leave a mark at these recorded locations, and we will find a way to bypass our surveillance and contact you.]

Wang Wei checked the talisman, and it contained many areas all over the world considered "Safe Spots' to initiate contact.

'I don't plan to drag you guys into this, so you may have hope of plausible deniability in case everything goes wrong,' Wang Wei thought as he annihilated this secret dimension, leaving no traces. He then used his power to remove all invisible and undetectable traces before teleporting away.

His next destination was to find the Mask Clan. He needed to know how capable these guys were and whether there would be any trouble by using them. Then, he would reunite with Wang Qi and the Fate Shadow Guards to start enacting his plan.
