Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1263  Second Meeting

Wang Wei walked into his room and immediately stopped. His lips twitched as he saw a woman with long black hair already there. "Young Lady, you're in the wrong booth."

"Am I?" Wu Hong replied. She continued sipping her drink without looking at him. Wang Wei sighed and sat on the cushion next to her. He looked at her black hair.

"Your hair looks great," he commented.

"At least try to make the compliment sound plausible."

"I'm very sincere."

Wu Hong looked him in the eyes. "Your current appearance is very handsome."

Wang Wei's lips twitched and he reverted the transformation. "See? Now, we no longer match."

"Just turn your hair black."

"How about we compromise and choose another color."

"How about we retain our individualistic identities and choose something we enjoy."

"Fair," Wang Wei nodded. The room had a small table before them with a wine bowl. "Yours or something the celebration served?"

"Not mine, but it's quite enjoyable," Wu Hong replied. "It's Celestial Monkey Wine. Although there is no benefit for your realm, it's extremely delicious."

Wang Wei trusted this rich woman's taste, so he took a sip. His eyes immediately lit up as she was correct: this thing was absurdly delicious. After a sip, his Essence Qi Flower activated, and he could feel the bottleneck between the Third and Fourth Heaven slowly dissipating. If not for the fact he needed to pass the tribulation, he might have immediately entered the Fourth Heaven.

Wang Wei soon finished the win in his glass, and the thing filled itself without him doing anything. "They went all out, haven't they?"

"This is the bare minimum for a celebration of this scale."

"Did you ever have a grand celebration like this?"

"Yes, for becoming a Paragon and Primal," Wu Hong replied.

"I figure you were not the type for grand celebrations."

"Now, I'm not, but in my younger years…" Wu Hong did not elaborate further. "Plus, it's a great way to amass resources." Wang Wei nodded. As they were talking, the celebration officially started.

Wang Wei and Wu Hong's booth was on the second floor, but there was a formation that allowed them to see the events on the first floor while hiding their booth.

"Great Emperor Jin Long, from the Star Envoy Palace," said a beautiful voice that echoed throughout the palace. "Gift: A Tier 11 Star Nourishing Pill." A thin man with a robe with star patterns walked on the first floor and found his name on one of the seats.

"Starting strong, I see," Wang Wei commented. The Star Nourishing Pill was an extreme healing medicine. If an Empyrean died and wanted to revive themselves, the pill would allow them to return with full strength in less than 10 Yuan Epoch, which is an absurdly short time for an Empyrean to revive unless they use longevity resources or a pile of rare resources.

"Great Emperor Dragon Eyes, loose cultivator. Gift: Taiyi Soul Pill."

'Another extremely rare pill,' Wang Wei thought. This pill was one of the best to help Empyreans condense a Paragon Soul. 'This bastard probably got it by chance, but he ruined his destiny by giving it to a woman who won't give him a second glance after this celebration.'

Wang Wei looked at the short man with reptilian eyes walking into the room. As expected, after checking his Qi Luck Dragon, Wang Wei saw signs of decay. 'His dragon eye is not bad. Maybe I can recruit him into the Changing Fate Hall.' n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The announcement continued, and soon afterward, the announcer started introducing Empyreans — who were the majority of attendees at this event. And as expected, the gifts became more extravagant. Someone even brought a Life Defying Pill as a gift, which was a second-order longevity pill. Wang Wei cursed these horny bastards

Once everybody was introduced, the announcer said: "Now, for the VIPs." She paused for a brief second.

"Firstly, Empress Wu from Origin Seal Continent. She could not attend the event, but she sent her regards and a protective talisman." The murmurs started as soon as she announced this. A few taboo entities existed in this terrible era, and everyone knew Empress Wu was at the top. And even if the announcer did not specify the protective talisman level, they could guess.

Wang Wei looked at her: "So, are you a ghost or something?"

"Is that your attempt at humor? That was terrible," Wu Hong said as she sipped her drink.

Wang Wei shrugged. "I have my low points, and don't change the subject."

"When it comes to events like this, I rarely show myself publicly since my presence intimidates people. Plus, when it's not about me, I don't want to draw too much attention during someone else's event."

"I guess that makes sense," Wang Wei nodded. The announcer then announced someone from the Grand Sect Alliance, followed by someone from the Dao Opening Sect. It was the sect master, an Everlasting Empyrean called Yu Cai, and he brought a Tier 12 Void Breaking Talisman as a gift.

'So, in this generation, someone from the sectarian faction is the sect master in the upper dimension?' Wang Wei pondered. Then, something suddenly came to mind, so he looked at Wu Hong:

"By the way, did my ancestor come as well?"

"Now you remember her?" Wu Hong almost rolled her eyes. "She's in retreat."

"Is everything alright?"

"She had some inspiration about her swordsmanship," Wu Hong explained.

"Can she still have inspiration about swordsmanship? Or right, she did change to the Ultimate Sword Path," Wang Wei nodded, sipping his tea.

"You once told me that if you had a life and death fight with her, you would be the last one standing despite the fact her attack potency surpasses yours. Will that still be the case after her retreat?"

"Yes," Wu Hong replied confidently.

"Really?"

"Why do you sound surprised?" "I figure you both should have improved after the Ultimate Taboo, which should cancel each other out. Then, with the Ultimate Taboo and you not using the Perfect Foundation, the ancestor would have the advantage."

"You have underestimated the complexity of battle amongst Paragons who have truly reached the limit of power," Wu Hong explained. "And I can tell you, in the Chaos Universe, a very small number of Paragons can defeat me in a battle. However, there is no one I cannot kill. It's just that the price I'll have to pay is my life, which is not worth it."

'Damn, her overwhelming confidence is hot,' Wang Wei thought, trying to remain calm and composed not to embarrass him. "Quite confident, aren't you? I wonder where it comes from?"

"That is for me to know and for you to hopefully learn about," Wu Hong replied, and Wang Wei just smiled. He knew their trust in each other was nowhere near the level of the other clone.

"What's your relationship with Xun Junyao?" Wang Wei suddenly asked.

"Why are you asking?" Wu Hong asked calmly. "Are you already planning on how to regulate your harem properly?"

Wang Wei almost dropped the cup he was putting on his mouth. Luckily, his control of strength was unworldly, so nothing happened. He continued his sip before calmly replying: "Don't say such a thing. My poor heart cannot handle the stress from your words."

Wu Hong gave him a short glance before replying: I'm the one who protected her from the claws of those bastards."

"Really? I thought she used their attraction for him to balance them out and keep herself safe."

"She did, but such a tactic can only be effective to a certain extent," Wu Hong explained. "When it comes to these beasts who are drunk on power, it wouldn't surprise anyone if they used force to get what they want or decide to share her like an object. And even if the men could be controlled, the woman would also want to destroy her out of jealousy."

"So, you warn them?"

"I put the fear of god in their soul."

Wang Wei resisted the urge to yell the words: Damn, that's hot. Instead, he sighed deeply.

"What's wrong?" Wu Hong asked.

"Power is truly an attractive thing."

Wu Hong was baffled since these words came out of nowhere. Then, she remembered what a little pervert this bastard was. She glanced at him and smirked. Meanwhile, Wang Wei was satisfied he was able to express his desire in a more sophisticated manner.

The announcements continued, and soon, Wang Wei heard of someone he knew — Emperor Kong. The latter's gift was a Sage Blessing Banner, which surprised Wang Wei slightly, but it also made sense. This banner was something that only people who condense a Golden Body of Merit can refine at a small cost.

It contains some of the protective ability of Sage of Merit, along with a significant cultivation blessing. The announcements continued, and Wang Wei's name was the last person from the VIP section to be read out loud.

"Wei Tian, loose cultivator and close friend of young master Xiao Tiandi," the voice announced. "Gift:" She suddenly paused, making people wonder if this person embarrassed themselves and did not even bring a gift.

"An acquired Perfect Tear," she announced a few seconds later.
