Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 957 Preparations

As for the ones who chose another path?

They had multiple reasons. Most of these people were not true supporters of Dong Lifen and only wanted to use the dynasty for their own ambitions. The others rejected the idea of relying on someone else for their life or immortality. Some simply wanted to live a normal or ordinary life.

No matter what choice these people made, Dong Lifen did not stop them. She left a Void Boat to transport these individuals to another world. Afterward, she proceeded with the fusion.

A terrifying swallowing power emanated from Dong Lifen\'s Niwan Acupoint, and the entire world was rapidly shrinking as they entered her head; it was like there was an invisible black hole in the middle of her forehead that was swallowing everything in its path.

A mighty aura spread out from Dong Lifen\'s aura. A river of chains manifested before her as she raised her to mobilize her Grand Dao Source-the power of dreams and nightmares condensed in her hand before disappearing.

"How do you feel?" asked Wang Wei.

"Complete and flawless," she replied. The dynasty was no longer her weakness. Even the Qi Dragon in her Sea of Consciousness was now a fundamental part of her body; it was like she had awakened a unique physique related to dragons.

With a thought, a purple-gold dragon appeared around Dong Lifen.

"Controlling the Qi Luck so much easier now; it\'s like it was another part of my body," continued Dong Lifen. Before, she had to fuse with the dragon to bless her strength or defense. However, now, she can materialize the dragon and use it as a defensive weapon.

"It seems that the dynasty has mutated because of your Dream Soul," commented Wang Wei.

"Yes; the citizens could be considered Dream or Nightmare Lifeforms instead of pure Spirit Lifeforms," nodded Dong Lifen.

Such a change was beneficial to her, so she did not mind.

Wang Wei\'s eyes lit up after hearing this.

"You should take some time to control your leaking soul power," he warned. After the fusion, her soul drastically increased; therefore, she could not properly control its power.

"I will." Dong Lifen could tell her soul\'s transformation was unfinished an required some time. So, she was not in a rush.

"In that case, let\'s go," said Wang Wei. With a wave of his hand, they disappeared and returned to the sect. "I will take you to see the ancestors."

He had already sent news, so many people were already waiting for them once they teleported to the secret realm.

"This is Dong Lifen, our 13th Emperor,"

introduced Wang Wei before also introducing everyone to Dong Lifen. These people were surprised by her achievement.

Origin One was the only calm one since he was the one who saved her and knew about her new path. He did not say anything to everybody else because he knew she did not officially preach her new path, so he did not want to affect her or bear the karma of this new immortal path.

"Thank you, senior, for saving me," said Dong Lifen to Origin One.

"Your master is part of our sect, so you\'re already one of our one. There is no need for pleasantry between us."

Wang Wei secretly gave a thump up to this old fox; he could get into the role so quickly. Of course, such a method won\'t work on a person like Dong Lifen, who was a ruler and used to see through people\'s facade. However, such an act showed the sect\'s attitude towards her, and that\'s all that matters.

"A new immortal path? I\'m suddenly interested," said Hell One. "What would happen if we took one of our Quasi-Emperor and had him set up a dynasty, then we forcefully conquer countless worlds and fuse them? Could we fast-track a new Heavenly King?"

"Of course not," replied Miscellaneous One.

"The threshold for the Qi Luck Dragon to bear the Grand Dao Source should be very high. Such a dynasty would never meet the standard."

A vast territory was not the only indication of a thriving or prospering dynasty.

People\'s livelihood, happiness, the development of culture, art, and technology are all parts that make a powerful dynasty.

Furthermore, a fortune dynasty also requires powerful cultivators as its backbone, cultivators that are loyal to the dynasty. Not to mention the foundation like powerful artifacts or arrays to be used in time of need, development of professions like alchemy, and training of elite troops.

All these things must reach a high enough standard to condense a Qi Luck powerful enough to bear the power of the Grand Dao Source and become a Heavenly King.

"This path should also have to experience tribulations like Immortal Venerables and Dao Ancestors. If the Qi Luck is weak, the process would probably fail," added the Steward.

"Yes, any path to immortality is valuable in the lower dimension, so things would not be so simple," nodded Hell One.

"We have plenty of time to analyze this new path," chimed in Origin One. "We need a proper plan for her Emperor Path."

Despite Dong Lifen\'s strength, Origin One wanted to be careful to ensure that no accident occurred. "Do you have any idea?"

"Yes," replied Wang Wei. "We will hide her in the Deception Array to ensure True Heavenly Dao does not know when she will participate in the Heaven Will Battle. That way, it cannot scheme against her and create an opponent with Nine Extremity Foundation or of equal strength for her."

"Just like Battle Maniac," uttered Origin One softly. Qiyuan himself predicted the fate of Battle Maniac. He proved the Dao, followed by the Sword Empress, so it made sense the Balance Mechanism would not easily allow a sect to have three Eternals–especially back to back.

So, it was not surprising that it cultivated a Heaven Chosen that could defeat the latter in the form of the Sword Casting Villa\'s founder. Back then, Battle Maniac\'s strength had reached 2-Root after re-establishing his foundation with

Qiyuan\'s help. After all, he had no aversion to tempering his body, unlike his third sister.

Furthermore, he could fight 3-root Dao Ancestor for a short period with his battle skills. Regardless, he still lost to the Sword Casting Emperor; However, the latter also paid a price. Heavenly Dao used so much luck and destiny to cultivate the Sword Casting Emperor to such a state that he owed karma to Heavenly Dao.

So, when he proved the Dao, he could only become a Pseudo-Eternal Emperor.

Wang Wei nodded after hearing Origin One\'s words; he worried this would happen, so he took precautions for Dong Lifen. His plan is that True Heavenly Dao won\'t know until the last second when she will fight for the Heaven Will Battle.

The second will send Heaven Chosen to acquire the entrance token, if necessary, and give it to her. Then, she will show up and suppress everybody with overwhelming strength.

Wang Wei secretly sighed. The way True Heavenly Dao operates the lower dimension is contradictory. It wants to cultivate powerful and talented Great Emperors, but it also does not want any factions to be too powerful and dominate the situation.

"With this method, the inceptive will be in our hands," nodded Origin One. They could choose a generation without talented Heaven Chosen and sent her.

"This is a good plan. We only need to watch out for any fake out from Heavenly Dao, and everything will be fine," added Miscellaneous One. One of the worst-case scenarios would be a situation where they believed there were no talented individuals in a generation and chose this time for her to prove the Dao. Then, out of nowhere, comes a monstrous-level genius.

"True," nodded Wang Wei before looking at Dong Lifen. "What do you think? After all, this is regarding your proving Dao experience."

Dong Lifen hesitated.

"If you have something to say, go ahead."

"I don\'t know. I feel like it might not be a bad idea to have a talented rival to push me, just like Di Tian did to you."

Wang Wei\'s lips twitched. It was indeed a good idea to have a rival or opponent in the Emperor Path. However, that\'s only if you become the final winner.

"If you want a powerful opponent, I have a way of tempering you, so don\'t worry."

"If you say so."

"Let\'s go, we have work to do," said Wang Wei. Dong Lifen went through the process of becoming a member of the sect, like placing her name in the registry, creating her Soul Lamp, and other minor things.

Afterward, she went to see her master and spent a few days.

"How is it? Have you checked that I did not bully your master?"

Dong Lifen smiled but did not say anything.

She could tell her master\'s life was very fulfilling. Her dreams and ambitions have always been to pursue immortality, and soon, she will accomplish her goal.

Afterward, she can take her time to enjoy life and pursue the Dao.

"Alright, let\'s go," said Wang Wei, and the two went to the Eternal Dream Sect. Wang Wei thought he could visit one of the Forbidden Lands, but he soon lost track of time. So, a few hundred years passed, and it was already time for the third court meeting.
