Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1249  Gu Xuan's Treasury

Wang Wei could not think of a good solution. The best option would be for these transcendent beings to allow the Paragons from Limbo to return to the world to deal with the situation, but this plan is also complicated.

'It seems Maitreya no longer requires the world to be peaceful, so she might support the Paragon's return. However, Supreme Unity is another thing.' Wang Wei pondered. It would be great if they could come up with an agreement. For example, the Limbo Paragons can return, but they can only stay outside of the world. However, Wang Wei doesn't know whether Supreme Unity would accept such an agreement.

'This plan is a no-go, so I need something else,' Wang Wei thought. 'Maybe the escaped Paragons?' He did not believe Maitreya and Supreme Unity eliminated every Paragon left in the world for a single reason — they were not powerful enough, at least when they tried it.

Wang Wei conjectured that these two did not leave the Ultimate Taboo as Half-Step Transcendents. If that were the case, they would not need Heaven and Earth in a peaceful state for them to cultivate. They were probably in the transition phase of becoming Half-Step Transcendence, making their powers leagues ahead of even the best Boundless Paragon.

Their strength at that time meant plenty of room for a few Paragons to escape and survive. So, Wang Wei's plan was for them to return and deal with these foreign invaders. 'This plan is even worse than the first one,' Wang Wei smiled wryly. These Paragons would be extremely careful if they return, and that is if they choose to return. Additionally, these people must have scattered in countless worlds throughout Primordial Chaos, meaning Wang Wei had no way of knowing who escaped or how to contact them.

'Chen Tong would be an excellent choice for such a situation,' Wang Wei thought. 'He's powerful, already has enough resources to revive himself, and he doesn't seem like the kind who can remain indifferent to the situation of his homeworld.'

Wang Wei then smiled wryly. He exiled Chen Tong into the Source Qi Space, but he did not know exactly where. In other words, finding him would be worse than searching for a needle in a haystack. So, unless Chen Tong chooses to show himself, there is no need to consider him for any plan.

'The only solution left is for the ancestor and my future wife to sit on the frontier and intimidate everyone else,' Wang Wei concluded. He sighed before muttering: "Hopefully, I'm overthinking, and those two chose a temporary truce when dealing with these foreign invaders."

He slowly stood up from his cushion and teleported away. He wished to use the treasure from Gu Xuan's treasury to relieve his current stress. Wang Wei appeared on a desolate planet on top of a volcano spewing blue lava. He pointed into the void to open a secret dimension. However, Wang Wei did not go in as he knew this was a decoy; instead, he gathered a unique aura before teleporting to ten more locations and doing the same.

He condensed a token from the aura of all these decoy dimensions and activated it. However, Wang Wei did not enter this one as well. Instead, he entered the seventh decoy dimension. 'That bastard took the word deception to the core, didn't he?' Wang Wei complained. 'I hope this bastard has some useful stuff.'

Wang Wei did not have all of Gu Xuan's memories, but he knew these resources should be high-end since the bastard had prepared them for his future rise after becoming an unparalleled genius. Wang Wei smiled after seeing the inside of this dimension. He first checked a few talismans with cultivation techniques.

'This soul technique is decent,' Wang Wei commented. Gu Xuan had a soul cultivation technique that could cultivate a Paragon Soul. Although this technique was not top-notch, he could still use it for his subordinates. As for himself? Well, Wang Wei needed to start cultivating his soul like everybody else, but he didn't have to worry about cultivation techniques since his Wu Hong left him one of the best soul techniques.

Wang Wei checked the other talisman, and he found something interesting. Gu Xuan was working on turning his Heaven Deception Art into a Longevity Technique usable for Tier 11 and 12. 'Although he failed, there should be enough data to succeed in his stead.' He turned to the last interesting talisman, which contained a body-refining technique called Thunder Body Refining Scripture. 'So, he also planned to walk the True Power Dao Realm? He was indeed ambitious.' Wang Wei flipped through it and decided it might be helpful to his Creation Lifeforms to pass their tribulation.

He put everything away before focusing on the other resources. The ones for Tier 10 were the most abundant and contained the rarest types of resources. Sadly, they were useless to him. His gaze then focused on the Empyrean Tier resources, and he immediately noticed two things appealing to him.

"Fiendgod Heaven Pill and Gentian Fruits," Wang Wei commented with shining eyes. The pill would help him ascend in the Adult Fiendgod Realm, while the Gentian Fruit assisted in the Body-Will Fusion. With those two finds, Wang Wei was satisfied with this treasury, so he put them and everything else away before focusing on the small Tier 12 piles.

Firstly, there were 5 Dao Monarch puppets, which Gu Xuan probably prepared to serve as his Dao Protector after acquiring a talented body. After all, talent did not mean strength, and Gu Xuan — who understood that clearly — prepared in case something went wrong.

The second thing in this section was a small pile of purple stones, which he recognized as third-rank Dao Sources. Wang Wei nodded as using these sources to cultivate in the Empyrean Realm should significantly accelerate things —- albeit it would be a waste given how rare or valuable they are.

The third thing in this section was another small pile of white stones with a vision of dragons circling on their inside. "Primal Luck Stone," Wang Wei uttered. "Gu Xuan prepared enough for him to turn his Qi Luck 75% white." Wang Wei's luck was already white, so this thing was useless to him. However, he can put it in his Changing Fate Hall or use it with the new subordinates he has just acquired in the Lawless Zone.

His gaze then focused on the last valuable thing in this section. This pile was the largest, and it contained crystals that resembled diamonds with a small sun at the center—like a diamond holding a small sun inside.

"Soul King Essence? And so much? Did he accidentally find a mine?" Wang Wei muttered. The soul is crucial to Paragons; they must cultivate its quality and quantity. Soul King Essence is the best material to raise the quantity of a Paragon Soul.

This pile was probably the most valuable thing in this secret treasury, so Wang Wei happily accepted them. The overall result was satisfactory, even though only a few things were helpful to him. However, Gu Xuan seemed to plan to build a faction, so he also left many valuable things, like Immortal Qi Pools, countless Dao Source Seeds, and a few Heaven Wills.

Wang Wei returned to the Azure Sky Pavilion, and he immediately ordered everyone to prepare for the evacuation. Everyone was prepared, so more than 90% of the Lawless Zone's population left after a month, leaving the rest to keep things operating regularly. Wang Wei plans to use the Lawless Zone as another base and a place to recruit people. As long as no one knows something has conquered the Lawless Zone, many people should see it as a place of safety and run there, not knowing they are heading into the mouth of a beast.

 The team did not return through the entrance as that would alert too many people. Instead, they entered the Source Qi Space before teleporting to the Dao Burial Ground. Before leaving, Wang Wei talked with Old Man Dai about his junior brother's response, and unfortunately, the latter rejected his proposal. Wang Wei was not too disappointed since he expected this, and Old Man Dai warned him. After returning to his base, Wang Wei first learned Wang Qi was out, so he summoned him. While waiting, he introduced the new team to his Shadow Fate Guard, especially Red Mask Fate.

"I need you to do two things, the first one is a priority, but you can take your time with the second," Wang Wei said to Red Mask.

"Firstly, introduce the members from the Dark Cloud Pavilion. Their leader, Dark Cloud, has a unique talent, and you must put it to good news," Wang Wei explained. "The second thing is to find any news about this girl called Chen Zhila, her master, and their connection to the Blood Dragon."

"I'll get it done," Red Mask responded.

"Good. Do you have anything to report?"

"Nothing important, but here is a summary of what you need to know."

Wang Wei received the information from the talisman, and as she said, nothing significant occurred in just one hundred years. However, the fact that there were no problems was good news.

'Hmm? Wang Qi is back?'

A few seconds later, Wang Qi rushed into the room.

"Patriarch, were you trying to eliminate me secretly?" Wang Qi paused after noticing all the people inside, and his expression became severe after noticing their aura, cultivation, and strength. He coughed to himself to hide his embarrassment.

"What happened?" Wang Wei asked.
