Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Inside a forest, Zhou Shu had an incredible look on his face. A few minutes ago, he received the news from a few loose cultivators that were hunting in the forest that all the upper echelons of the Righteous Sect Alliance have been killed.

For more than a half-hour, he stared in the distance with a dull look on his face, thinking that he had heard wrong.

'That's impossible. Something like that never happened before. Why now? Could my existence lead to the butterfly effect and change the future?'

This was the only explanation he could come up with as Zhou Shu did not doubt the memory inside his mind. In the past month, he has been using them to take many fortunate encounters.

In just a month, he raised his cultivation from the Profound Grandmaster Realm (Tier 5) to the peak of the Profound King Realm (Tier 6).

Zhou Shu took a deep breath to calm himself down as he knew that the situation was not ideal for him. With the changes in the timeline, who knew how long before his memories of the future become useless, so he had to hurry to rapidly increase his strength.

He rushed to the nearest fortunate encounter to ensure that something did not go wrong.

In the sun, Wang Wei was in deep cultivation as he repaired the crack in his Primordial Spirit. Unfortunately, even with a few Quasi-Emperors pills, he could only stabilize his current state.

If he wanted to completely heal, he would need a ridiculous amount of time. So, the best solution is to wait for his sect to find him and found a way to not only quickly heal him, but deal with his life span issue while preserving his powerful Dao Foundation.

What annoyed Wang Wei the most in his current situation was that he could not cultivate; he was now at the peak in the Yin Soul Step of the Primordial Spirit Realm. And with only a little push, he could enter the Yang Soul yet he was stuck.

The Primordial Spirit was divided into five steps: Yin Soul/Yin God, Yin-Yang Reversal, Yang Soul/Yang God, Chain/Shackle Removal, and Three Immortal Souls.

In the Yin Soul step, cultivators have to absorb Yin energy to strengthen their primordial spirit. They can do so through transforming spiritual energy into yin energy, using formation to gather the Yin Qi between Heaven and Earth, devour souls or ghosts–however this is a method mostly used by devil cultivators.

The most common method used in the Myriad Emperor World is to absorb energy from the moon as it is considered one of the purest Yin energy between Heaven and Earth. Or used heavenly materials with yin attributes like ice and so on.

The Yin-Yang Reversal is a transitioned step to revert the Yin nature of the Primordial Spirit into Yang nature so that it can achieve a balance of Yin and Yang.

For many cultivators, the process is very slow and takes a long time. However, when it comes to geniuses and Heavenly Chosens, the process is instant essentially making them skip this step or to be precise, not spend a lot of time in this step.

In the Yang Soul step, yang energy has to be absorbed to temper the Primordial Spirit. In this step, the soul can survive without a body and not suffer any consequences. In this stage, if a cultivator's body is destroyed, they can take over another person's body as long as their Primordial Spirit is intact.

Because of this fact, one of the most profitable businesses in the Myriad Emperor World is selling suitable bodies for Primordial Spirit Realm and above to possess. And the leader of this operation is led by the Corpse Selling Sect–a Devil Emperor Lineage with 2 Great Emperors.

However, from what Wang Wei knows, there are rumors that the background of this sect is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

In the Chain Removal Step, cultivators have to remove the shackles that connect the body with the Soul, otherwise, the Primordial Spirit cannot stay for long outside the body and will be dragged back on after a certain amount of time.

This is the reason that so many chains appeared on Wang Wei's body during his fight with Di Tian when the latter forced his soul out of his body.

As for the last step, it involved the saying that all living this has three immortal souls and seven mortal souls.

After he was done with his cultivation, Wang Wei opened his eyes as he checked the Heavenly Profound Continent. The moment he learned that all the upper echelons of Righteous Alliance were killed, he knew that something was wrong.

He waved his hand and a yellow ball appeared in his hand: these were life forced absorbed by Chu Mo after exterminating so many sects and killing so many demon races.

The majority of them were sent to him while the profound energy was left to him. Chu Mo was still young so he did not need life spans but mostly used it to heal so he did not need that much.

It's a shame that with how strong Wang Wei's body is, these life energies have little effect on him. Plus, he also knew that his foundation would be affected if he used this method to heal his injuries.

After all, no matter how much he purified these energies, it did not change the fact that they belong to many people combined. Even if it was 99.999 pure, the small amount that is beyond his ability to purify will leave hidden dangers. Unless necessary, he did not want to use this method to heal since he would have to deal with the consequences afterward.

Nevertheless, these life forces could be used for other things. His eyes suddenly turned completely gray including the white part of his eye, the power of fate observable from them.

As he did his divination, the life force that he held in his hand slowly disappeared, used as the price for the calculation. Normally, with his Fate Pupetteer Physique, he did not have to worry about backlash for divination. However, he was not in the best shape currently.

A few seconds later, his eyes returned to normal as a serious look appeared on his face.

"The founder of the Unspoken Sect is truly a genius. Spending countless eras planning for such a thing. It's a shame that he could not leave to see his plan come to fruition," muttered Wang Wei.

Despite his praise, he knew that if the plan of the sect succeeded, his situation would become more dangerous. At the same time, he did not want to just give such an opportunity to fish in troubled times.

Furthermore, he discovered that in the past month, his understanding of Fate and Karma has increased rapidly. The reason was that he was playing chess with this world, weaving the destiny of countless lives and even the world.

The more influence Chu Mo and Zhou Shu have in this world, the easier it is for him to comprehend the power of Fate.

"In that case, I need to control the general situation and ensure that their plans are not easily accomplished, at least delay as much possible until I receive my benefit. It would be even better if the sect could find me as soon as possible so that my safety is guaranteed."

After thinking about this, he gave one last glance at the continent before returning to his retreat. He focused on the Karma Thread that connected him to the sect, trying to connect with them through it.

Suddenly, Wang Wei noticed a slight fluctuation in his blood. If it was not for his keen senses, he might not have senses. As he focused deeply on it, he once again caught it although it was brief.

'Could it be…'

Immediately, he focused even more and discovered that someone was trying to track him through his bloodline. Immediately, he focused on strengthening the connection between the other side.

He even used the Karmic Thread that connected him to his family to further strengthen that connection.

Heavenly Profound Continent, Blood Menace Prefecture:

Chu Mo stood in front of a destroyed sect. Although there was blood everywhere, there were no bodies to be found in the surroundings. With a cold look on his face, he was prepared to leave.

Suddenly, the mechanical voice of his system suddenly manifested inside his mind.

"Ding…The system has recovered some of its function…Opening Mission Section."

"Main Mission: Conquer the World and devour at least 70% of the cultivators' population.

Reward: The coordinate to the Heaven Will World."

"Submission 1: Kill and Devour all the Demon Monarchs.

Reward: Based on the individual kill."

"Submission 2: Destroy as many Rank 7-9 righteous and demonic sects as possible.

Reward: Based on the degree of accompaniment."

After seeing this update, Chu Mo frowned for a moment before asking: "System, what will happen if I do not do these missions?"

"The host will not receive the rewards."

"That's all?"

"Yes."

Chu Mo was relieved after hearing this. As long as there was no punishment, it meant that he could choose to do these missions or not. Of course, he would not do such stupid things–especially when it comes to the reward of the main mission.

In the past month, he has digested a lot of the previous owner's memories. Along with the many sects he destroyed, he knew what Heaven Will World meant.

This was the possibility of becoming a Great Emperor and achieving true longevity. No matter how much his life span will increase because of cultivation or absorbing it from others, he knew that there was a limit.

Only by becoming a Great Emperor could he truly become immortal.

"System, what rewards will I get after accomplishing the tasks?"

"Everything from unique cultivation to temper the body, profound energy, and even spiritual power, and even alchemy technique and weapon refining. Pills, Heaven and Earth Treasures, and so on."

Chu Mo's eyes lit up after seeing this and his ambitions grew.

"I will use this world as my stepping stone toward the Path of Emperor."
