Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor
chapter-1218

"You only need to know there is a karmic bond between us, and I need to meet her to remove it," Wang Wei explained.

"That's it? Why do I feel you're not telling me the whole truth?"

"That's all you need to know," Wang Wei stared at him, and Wang Qi gave up asking for more information. "Well, I believe you. I hope you don't antagonize the sect madam for this woman during the celebration."

Wang Wei waved his hand to dismiss him and left to his thoughts. His first meeting with the future wife might be disastrous if it happens at Xu Junyao's celebration.

'Did she know about our connection?' Logically speaking, this should not be possible. However, Wang Wei once theorized that his Wu Hong left memories for this one, meaning she might not know him more than she let on.

'If she does know, why do this? To test me? She should know how I feel about Xu Junyao. Is it to see if I've changed since she disappeared? See if I can resist the temptation of the most beautiful woman in the world?' Wang Wei felt stressed and wanted to pull his hair.

'Wait, why am I stressing about this? I didn't do anything wrong, and I had no plans with her. So what if all three of us meet? It won't change what I want, so I should not be this overworked over anything.' He exhaled to calm down. Now that he'd figured this out, he was more excited than worried since he got to see her after so long.

Wang Wei smiled before heading to his cultivation room for a brief retreat. He activated the formations before summoning the Space Fiendgod Blood and studying it. He lost himself in the essence of this blood to find its mystery. After an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes.

"It seems Ancient Desolate took inspiration from the Fiendgods for the higher levels of the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture]," Wang Wei muttered. In this retreat, he figured out how to evolve his bloodline to the 11th evolution.

Indestructible Empyreans' cultivation focused on three aspects: strength increase, Dao Immunity, and Will-Body Fusion. The strength aspect is the primary cultivation focus, measured by the number of Heavens in the Adult Fiendgod Realm.

Dao Immunity is what Wang Wei and a few talented body refiners achieved as they opened the Gate of Power — [Limit Indestructibility]. All Indestructible Empyreans must achieve a pseudo [Limit Indestructibility] by the time they reach the tenth Heaven to open the Gate of Flesh.

Body refiners usually recreate the tribulations of the previous True Power Dao Realm on a much larger scale to increase their immunity to whatever Daos their gate used to contain. Increasing their strength can passively increase their immunity, but long ago, when the Body Refining Path was in its infancy, the people felt it was insufficient. So, they began actively training these defensive capabilities, primarily by absorbing rare resources, and eventually created techniques to accelerate the process.

Sadly, Heaven and Earth restricted this path as a way to divide people into a strict hierarchy based on their foundation and achievements. For example, body refiners are limited by the number of tribulations they survive.

The minimum requirement to open the gate was 1267, meaning such a body refiner can only increase the immunity to these 1267 Daos, and not anymore. People who survived the 3800 Dao Tribulations have a second chance at achieving true [Limit Indestructibility], but most failed the second attempt and can only condense a pseudo one.

The third cultivation aspect of Indestructible Empyreans is the most important: the Will-Body Fusion. As the name implies, body refiners must increase their willpower before fusing it with their bodies. Once that process is completed, they'll meet the requirements to open the Gate of Flesh and acquire the ability that granted Inextinguishable Paragons their titles: Will Immortality.

As long as an Inextinguishable Paragon's willpower remained solid and unbroken, they could not be killed. In other words, once Wang Wei enters the Elder Fiendgod Realm, to kill him, someone must capture him and find a way to break his spirit and willpower so that he gives up on life, and that's the only way to prevent him from reviving.

Wang Wei closed his eyes to access his bloodline seed. After analyzing the bloodline, he figured out a few things. Firstly, Adult Fiendgods' primary attribute is not whatever Dao their Primordial Law is, but Primordial Chaos. All body refiners — no matter what technique or cultivation systems they used — will experience one event in their life before entering the first realm of the True Power Dao Realm — Sanctification of the Flesh.

They must choose a concept or characteristic that will fuse with their blood, allowing them to revive from a drop of blood. Wang Wei became enlightened in the [Power of Nothingness], but Fiendgods chose Primordial Chaos, which granted them countless benefits that made any Body refiners envious.

Due to their deep affinity and love for Primordial Chaos, they can temper their willpower by exposing their minds to the vastness of Primordial Chaos. At an even higher level, they can even confront the Will of Primordial Chaos to temper themselves, and the Will will not lash out and eliminate them. On the contrary, it will help and guide them.

Fiendgods can passively absorb the power of Primordial Chaos to increase their strength. That's why they only need to grow, and their strength will naturally increase. The only thing they have to work for is fusing their Willpower with their bodies. But even then, the Will of Primordial Chaos will provide them some assistance if needed.

Wang Wei started to change his bloodline to imitate the essence of Fiendgods. These lucky bastards have Primordial Chaos, but he has the concept of [Nothingness]. In the process, his spirit found himself in a space he could not describe, as it embodied the idea of nothing. He felt himself being slowly assimilated into this space in a process called returning to nothingness.

Wang Wei resisted, and as expected, this effort proved to be an excellent way to temper his willpower. After all, nothingness was a taboo Dao for a reason.

'If I can use this place as a Willpower Training Method, it should affect my current self.' Wang Wei's willpower was beyond his realm, but that did not stop him from exercising it. The tribulations in the True Power Dao Realm are based on a person's Willpower, allowing him to make drastic improvements over the years. However, Wang Wei had now reached the point where he needed a way to actively temper his willpower, as this would save him a lot of time and effort after opening the Gate of Flesh.

Wang Wei took out his ancestors' scripture and started to learn from his method of using a physical manifestation of Heaven and Earth to temper the body and willpower. Now, he only needed to change Heaven and Earth to the concept of [nothingness].

Once he created the prototype of this technique, he fused it with his Bloodline Source.

'Three birds with one stone,' Wang Wei smiled. The physical manifestation of [Nothingness] granted him another ability of Fiendgod — absorbing its power to increase his strength. More importantly, this technique was excellent for his path of using nothingness to achieve Taboo Realm.

Wang Wei's next step was to siphon a significant amount of nothingness energy from his bloodline and condensing another wheel in his Sea of Consciousness. The process did not take long, and this Nothingness Wheel was as small as a chicken egg, but Wang Wei smiled brightly. The [Nothingness Wheel] will be the key to his achievement of the Taboo Realm.

The idea is his body may have a limit to the amount of power it can contain before it is assimilated, but the wheel — a foreign object linked to his soul — does not. Once the wheel reaches a certain level, Wang Wei can use it to break the limits on him.

'Now is not the time,' Wang Wei commented as he saw the small wheel. He prepared for an extended retreat that may last yuan epochs sometime after Xu Junyao's celebration. During that time, he can try his plan to accelerate the growth of the Nothingness Wheel.

He shifted his focus to his bloodline. 'Not everyone from the clan will be able to face [Nothingness], so their bloodline must contain the ability to manifest whatever characteristics they've chosen.'

Wang Wei frowned. He hadn't developed this ability to modify and make it so universal. 'Then, there is their advantage of the Primordial Chaos Will. Do I need to recreate that? I could leave my willpower in the bloodline to serve the same purpose, but I don't want these guys to rely too much on their bloodline. Yes, it's better if they don't have to rely on any help.'

These people's bloodline was already potent enough; they did not need any more advantage. The human race became one of the most powerful races in the Chaos Universe because of their spirit of hard work. They were born weak, so they work a hundred times harder to reach the top.

Meanwhile, top Innate races like Fiendgods require Heaven's help to balance races like humans to prevent them from outshining them.

Wang Wei moved on after making a decision. 'Lastly, I need my bloodline ability to become passive.' Once that happens, he must survive an Immemorial Tribulation, and his bloodline will complete the last step to achieve the 11th revolution. Wang Wei exhaled, stood up, and left the cultivation room.
