Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor-Novel

Wang Wei gazed at a girl dressed in a blue hanfu with golden threads; her clothes were perfectly fitted, displaying her feminine curves. She had an exquisite face that seemed to be perfectly sculpted.

Her eyes resembled the purest of jewels that could reflect the sun or any other surface. Her long hair–which reached her all the way to her posterior–floated with the wind.

She had a flame mark in the middle of her forehead which further embellished her beauty. As she stood there, she exuded a very noble temperament like she was divine.

Unlike Fang Lijuan of the Divine Dao League, her noble temperament did not come out as arrogance, but more natural; it was as if Heaven and Earth accepted the fact that she was noble.

In terms of beauty or temperament, this woman did not lose to either Su Ya, Wu Hong, or even Xi Shi.

Of course, the reason that Wang Wei paid attention to her was not because of her beauty, but because he felt a very powerful bloodline inside her body. Moreover, her aura seemed very strange and weird, like she was incompatible with her surroundings.

It’s unfortunate that she seemed to have a way to block any observation abilities that try to pry her secret, so his eyes could not see anything more.

After hearing Wang Wei’s question, Yan Chen pondered for a while before saying: "She might be from the Huo Family."

"Huo Family? I’ve never heard about them."

"That’s because they are an Ancient Aristocratic Clan."

"Another term that I’ve never heard about. Supreme Elder, can you please explain?" said Wang Wei.

"Ancient Aristocratic Clans are families that survived the Null Era. Essentially, any clan that existed since the Beginning Emperor Era. For example, the Huo family is very prestigious amongst the ancient clan.

"They claimed that their ancestor was the first Acquired Human that discovered fire. Because of their discovery, humans were no longer afraid of the dark, did not die from the cold, and so on.

"Because of this discovery, their clan received a great number of merit and Qi Luck.

"Of course, these are just rumors with no substantial proof. However, according to records from our sect, those claims are most likely true. Unfortunately, most factions just refused to acknowledge it to prevent the Huo family and other ancient aristocratic clans from gathering too much merit and Luck."

Wang Wei became intrigued; he knew that the water of this world was deep and there were many things or secrets that he did not know yet. So, he was not that surprised that some ancient clan suddenly popped out.

"Since they could survive for so long, they should be quite powerful, right?" he asked.

"You would think so, but no," replied Yan Chen who was caressing his beard.

"The majority of them suffered terrible losses during the Null Era. However, this is not the main reason for their decline. These ancient clans are very stubborn when it comes to tradition and rules.

"During the Ancient Emperor Era, the majority of them refused to adapt to the changing world and were slowly eliminated by the times."

"Oh, what exactly do you mean?"

"For example, these clans refuse to cultivate the Origin System and instead, continue to cultivate the system of ancient times. Unfortunately, the current environment is way too inferior to ancient times, as such, it is not suitable to the ancient cultivation system."

After hearing this, Wang Wei understood why these ancient clans declined. Heaven and Earth will change to nurture the most prosperous cultivation system in any world.

An excellent example of this fact is origin stones or origin source that is used as currency and to cultivate in the Myriad Emperor World. Origin Qi is not an energy that existed between heaven and earth but one that was created by the Qiyuan Emperor.

Despite this, the entire world is full of mines that contain origin stones and sources, which cultivators can directly absorb. Logically speaking, the world should only have mines that contained spiritual stones since spiritual qi is prevalent between Heaven and Earth.

The reason for this anomaly is that Heavenly Dao acknowledged the fact that the Origin System is the orthodox cultivation system of this world, so it changed the world to benefit this system.

Over the years, resources unique only to this system were developed to help it prosper and flourish. This is one of the reasons that most worlds do not have multiple cultivation systems.

"Since there are ancient aristocratic clans, are there any ancient sects too?" asked Wang Wei.

"As far as my knowledge goes, there isn’t," replied Yan Chen. "The Beginning Emperor Era was occupied by clans, families, and ethnic groups. The concept of ’sect’ did not appear until the Ancient Emperor Era."

After a brief pause, he continued:

"I’m surprised that these clans show up so early. Usually, they will only appear when the Heaven Will Battle is near. This secret realm should contain something valuable, and they must know some secret about it."

Wang Wei’s clone nodded his head before removing his eyes from her. He then checked out the other people present. Besides that girl and Jian Wushuang, he did not care about anyone else from the younger generation.

When it came to other factions, he noticed the Ji family from the Herd Raising Valley. With a single glance, people could tell that they were anxious to enter the secret realm, and Wang Wei knew why.

These people knew that Liu Meixiu was inside and wanted to intercept her at all costs to prevent her from gaining any benefit. And if possible, secret kill her.

Unfortunately, Wang Wei has been using the sect to delay the time that people enter. He wanted to give Liu Meixiu enough time to gather the people from her factions, then use her years of headstarts to quickly reach the core of the secret realm.

That way, she will do all the hard work and he will benefit from it.

While everybody was waiting for the agreed-upon time to enter, Huo Fenghuang felt Wang Wei’s gaze so she looked in his direction.

’The Wang Clan’s heir? The Elders have mentioned him and warned me to pay attention to him. He is indeed powerful. However, why do I feel like something is off.’

Her jewel-like eyes rapidly shone, then a look of surprise appeared on her face.

’That’s just a clone? And he’s that powerful?’

For a moment, she thought her Heavenly Eye Technique was malfunctioning.

’It seems that this generation’s battle for the throne will be an interesting one.’

Nevertheless, Huo Fenghuang did not care as she had the utmost confidence in herself. As the most talented Heaven Chosens in the Huo Clan for countless generations, she believed in her potential and growth.

Even if she is not currently the opponent of the Wang Clan’s heir, this will not be the same in the future–especially after she acquires the opportunity inside this Secret Realm.

...

At the appropriate time, many of the Emperor Lineages came together to open the entrance to the Secret Realm. A vortex appeared in front of everybody, then all the floating boats entered it.

The Loose cultivators who did not have any factions to support them placed a barrier around themselves, and after waiting for all the big guys to enter, they also rushed in.

Soon after entering, the Majority of factions let their disciples in the periphery of the secret realm, while they rushed to the entrance of the core area.

A tall mountain that seemed to support Heaven stood in front of everybody, full of formations. In the middle of the mountain, everybody could see a group of people: it was Liu Meixiu and the people from her factions in the Herd Raising Valley.

The Ji family along with a few other people wanted to use the same path as Liu Meixiu to quickly catch up to them. However, they soon discovered that these formations were restored, and even slightly strengthen.

As such, they had to start over like everybody else.

As soon as Wang Wei arrived at the foot of the mountain, his gaze looked directly at Liu Meixiu; he did not hide his killing intent.

Meanwhile, Liu Meixiu–who was also looking at him–bit the lower parts of her lips while wondering why this guy held such a deep grudge. She was angry that he broke all her plans.

Then, a ruthless light flashed across her eyes. She looked at the 5 new True Monarchs next to her and said: "Whatever the price, we have to reach the core of this secret realm as soon as possible."

After glancing at Liu Meixiu for a brief moment, Wang Wei looked at the mountains and formations in front of him. Although he noticed that the girl from the Huo clan did not come to this area, he did not pay that much attention to her besides sending someone to try to follow.

His attention was on the formation as he muttered: "Natural Formation?"

An idea suddenly came to his mind.
