Chapter 947 Mission Over-Accomplished
947 Mission Over-Accomplished
Wang Wei took the head, looking at the middle-aged man. He could be described as extremely handsome, probably a lady's man. However, with his current state, none of that mattered.
Wang Wei pointed to the head's forehead, manifesting a dark-gray complex runes.
[Curse of Fate]
He used Ancestor Jia's head and his connection to the Spirit Genesis Sect to place a terrifying curse on their members.
Wang Wei was extremely careful not to alert everybody else–especially their potent artifact. Luckily, the sect was still in a state of chaos, and the artifact was in a semi-recovering state, making it the perfect time to cast this curse.
'This should be enough preparation,' he thought.
"Is there anything else you want to report?" asked Wang Wei.
"Yes," nodded Wang Ju. "Although I was limited by time, I acquired some valuable information and also hurt their sect's foundation."
"Oh, do tell." Wang Wei only tasked her with the assassination; he knew the danger.
Therefore, he did not want her to take the risk.
"I learned they have two ultimate trump cards besides the artifact–the Protecting Dao Talismans and the Weapon Slaves. One of their Immortal Sovereigns used the talisman to break through the seal."
Wang Wei remembered the power that broke his seal, which was different from the artifact he had just confronted.
"The Weapon Slave?"
"I only heard the name but no information, but we can deduce some information based on the name."
"True."
Weapon Salve–slave to a weapon; what weapon could anyone or anything from the Spirit Genesis Sect be? Of course, it's their broken Empyrean Artifact.
The concept of Weapon Slave exists in the Myriad Emperor World, mostly in Sword Dao Factions or Weapon Refining Lineages.
Some weapons are too powerful or have too much negative or baleful aura, demonizing them. If their users cannot properly control these weapons, the weapon will consume their souls, turning them into mindless creatures controlled by their whim–in other words, Weapon Slaves.
Many Sword Factions will purposely cultivate Sword Slaves to use people's souls to nourish the spirituality of unique weapons in their faction, ensuring the Sword Intent, Sword Will, or Dao Rhymes of these weapons do not dissipate after countless years.
With this knowledge, Wang Wei and Wang Ju could deduce the Spirit Genesis Sect cultivated unique Weapon Slaves using their artifact; they infused the Empyrean Power in the sect in a person, drastically increasing their opponents.n)-o-.v..e(.l--b//I--n
Such a person must have terrifying strength, probably close to Wang Wei's.
However, they will never make any advancement in their cultivation and must remain hidden to prevent from being liquidated by True Heavenly Dao.
Furthermore, their lives are now tied to that artifact, meaning they would cease to exist if something were to happen to it.
"What else did you do?" asked Wang Wei.
"I used divination to find the place with the most concentrated luck of their sect and discovered a unique Medicine Field of their sect, full of Emperor Medicines, and they seemed to have been cultivated using the artifact."
"Did you bring it?" asked Wang Wei with shining lights.
"No, I destroyed it," said Wang Ju before quickly explaining. "I had little time, and powerful formations and dozens of Insurgents protected the field. In a hurry, I had to explore the entire thing."
"Relax, I don't blame you," reassured Wang Wei. Although he felt it was a pity, it could not be helped, given the situation.
"I'm just glad you're okay and the enemy suffered," said Wang Wei with a brilliant smile. "You did an excellent job this time, even exceeding my expectations. There will be plenty of rewards for you later; however, the Fate Shadow Guards still need you to oversee everything."
"It's my honor to serve the young master," bowed Wang Ju before disappearing. Wang Wei was in an excellent mood, so his smile did not disappear; he looked in the distance where Feng Heng and Xu Shi waited for him. He sent a projection.
"Thank you for your hard work," said Wang Wei.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, this poor monk could not kill the Immortal Sovereign."
"Oh, what happened to him?"
"He exploded his body to open a tear in my Buddha World and escape. However, I did injure his soul while he was running away."
"In that case, it's fine; your reward is still the same."
Wang Wei chose to be generous. After this battle, Ancestor He is basically crippled.
The essence of Immortal Sovereigns is still Tier 11 despite their Tier 10 strength. As such, only resources of the same level can heal him. But where does the lower dimension have any Tier 11 spiritual herbs or medicine?
His only choice is to use Emperor Herbs, but the vast difference between Tier 10 and Tier 11 makes it extremely difficult to use lower-tier resources to heal. The effect of using Emperor Herbs or Pills to heal would be the same as a Quasi-Emperor using Profound Tier resources to heal himself.
Before Wang Ju destroyed the medical field, Ancestor He might have had a chance.
After all, the Spirit Genesis Sect was probably using that medicinal field to grow top-tier Emperor Medicine using the power of the broken Empyrean Artifact. But now, it was destroyed.
Feng Heng felt relieved after hearing this.
Wang Wei looked at Xu Shi and said:
"You did an excellent job.' He then sighed, "Fellow Daoist, I have to say, from ancient to modern times, you're truly a talented Emperor."
After seeing that battle, seeing her application of the Dao Will and her Source Technique, Wang Wei had a newfound admiration for her talent. Many people might believe her achievement was the result of Lin Fan's talent, but he understood that even Lin Fan was not guaranteed to achieve what she did.
In the end, talent only means potential; how to turn potential into strength was something entirely different. In Wang Wei's opinion, Xu Shi made full use of Lin Fan's talent, even pushing beyond its limits.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," said Xu Shi with an ethereal smile. Typically, she would not care about such a comment. However, it was different coming from someone like the Heavenly Emperor; that was true recognition from an unparalleled genius and pinnacle powerhouse.
Wang Wei nodded; he knew Xu Shi had not reached his full potential. Furthermore, after ascending to the upper dimension, she might become even more accomplished if she is brave enough to recast her foundation.
Maybe she will be useful in the future after ascending.
"Your reward will come after the third court meeting. So, be patient for a while."
"In that case, this poor monk will leave," said Feng Heng. After experiencing the battle and hearing the Heavenly Emperor's words, he wanted to return to his sect and cultivate. Feng Heng had his own arrogance after surviving this terrifying generation, so he refused to be the weakest Eternal Emperor.
His first order of business after returning will be to create his own unique Source Technique.
Xu Shi bowed before also leaving. She would not let the Heavenly Emperor's words and this battle get to her head; the path of the Emperor was long, and her journey had just started.
Wang Wei calmly watched them leave before looking in the distance. His objectives were both accomplished and unfulfilled. The missing link was actually He Shiyi, whom he felt was not pushed to his limit or as simple as he seems.
The reason for his conclusion is Wang Wei had a feeling the latter would have survived had he directly targeted him instead of that artifact. However, he could not fathom how such a thing was possible.
'Could there be some unknown secret on He Shiyi? Or is he secretly being protected by someone else, like Emperor Jia?'
Wang Wei frowned.
'If he is protected, why? Why is he important to Emperor Jia? More importantly, what is this old monster planning, and how strong is he now?'
He had so many questions but no one to answer his doubts. So, he can only find them himself. Wang Wei sighed, entering a relaxed state.
'There is no need to worry since I'm already prepared.'
He cast that curse to prepare for the eventual clash with He Shiyi and Emperor Jia behind him. When the right time, he can also have a backhand that allows him to retreat in case things get out of control.
Wang Wei smiled before the projection disappeared. He knew his stay in the lower dimension would not be boring now that he had opponents like Old Man Nether, Death Reverence and the Corpse Selling Sect, the Abyss Gap, and now, the mysterious Emperor Jia.
One of the reasons he has his achievements today is because he had someone like Di Tian pushing him to be better than he thought he could. Maybe these people will also bring out more hidden potential while in the Emperor Realm. So, Wang Wei was looking forward to it.
Back at home, Wang Wei sensed something and looked in one direction.
"Ancestor Wuching is coming out of his retreat soon? Let's have a drink with that old man."
