Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor C512 Sect Master

Chapter 512 Sect Master

After walking out of his cultivation retreat, Wang Wei immediately felt something was different.

"Heaven and Earth have changed; it seems easier to cultivate. Could it be the Path of Supreme has opened?"

Then, Wang Wei calculated how long had passed. Five hundred years passed outside, but 2000 years passed inside the Time Innate Treasure,

After calculating the time, he walked to the living room where Wu Hong was and found her still reading. He walked behind to hug her.

"I thought you would finish these books long ago."

"I control myself not to finish them in one go. Plus, I re-read many of them."

"Really? I hate re-reading novels. After one go, that's it for me."

"Really? What if you really enjoyed the first read? Wouldn't it become even better the second time?"

"No. I fear the novel will not be as good as I made it out to be so that a second read would ruin my first experience," replied Wang Wei. "Plus, there is no suspense anymore since I already know what happened."

"Your reading habits are weird," she commented before reading the last paragraph, placing the book away before turning around and hugging him as well.

"How was your retreat?"

"Excellent."

"I can see that. But why do I sense Destruction Law from your body?"

"Oh, I was using the Dusk Emperor's comprehension and figured I might as well comprehend it to the level of law. However, it will not be one of my main Laws."

Wu Hong nodded as she understood that cultivators could comprehend countless Laws in the Law Comprehension Stage. However, in the Law Foundation Stage, they have to establish one law as the main one, while the others are secondary Laws.

The primary Law is the main Dao cultivator will cultivate and the one that the Heaven Will will allow them to comprehend to the level of Grand Dao Source.

"Father-in-Law is waiting for you."

Wang Wei kissed her cheeks before flying to Tianwei Peak to see his father.

"You're here."

"How long since the Path of Supreme opened up?" asked Wang Wei. "Did I delay you?"

"It's only been 20 years, so not that much delay."

"You don't seem to care that much. I thought you wanted to be the first person in your generation to become a True Monarch?"

"I only wanted to do that for merit," replied Wang Tian. "But now, our sect does not lack merit. Plus, some people immediately made their breakthrough once Heavenly Dao removed the blockage; they did not even undergo through Mortal Dust."

"After being stuck in the Saint Realm for so many years, the foundation of these people is extremely solid. So, Mortal Dust is only the tip of the iceberg for them. Even then, are you still going through with it?"

"Of course, but before that, I have to take care of your ceremony to become Sect Master."

"Pick an auspicious day in the next month to hold the ceremony. Do we have to invite the other sects?"

"Except for the Eternal Dream Sect and the Yu Clan, we only need to notify the others–unless you want a lavish ceremony?"

"No need," replied Wang Wei, as he usually liked these occasions to be low-key; he believed these types of celebrating events should be more intimate with friends and family.

So, the two negotiated how things would go for a few hours before Wang Wei went to see his mother and Li Jun.

Then, a month later, the entire Dao Opening Sect was in a festive mood. All the disciples and Elders were excited since they knew a new sect master would be sworn in today.

Wang Ju's job has been to maintain Wang Wei's high reputation amongst the disciples so that they support him when he becomes the sect master. And given the fact that Wang Wei is currently acknowledged by the world as the most powerful Heaven Chosen–especially since Di Tian has not shown up for ten thousand years–it is relatively easy to maintain his reputation.

On the fateful day, sect master Tang Zichen and Saintess Gu An showed up, and Wang Tian received them.

"Sect Master Wang Tian, you're lucky to find such a successor."

"Indeed, I am."

"*Sigh* My poor disciple, it's a shame she is not ready yet."

Gu An lowered her head in embarrassment. Many sects or factions have passed down the leadership position to geniuses and Heaven Chosens of this generation. However, a few others believed their chosen successors were not yet ready for the task.

"It's good to take your time," replied Wang Tian with a smile. "To be honest, a part of me is doubting whether I should place this burden on him so soon. In the end, the young eagle has to leave the nest eventually."

"That's true," replied Tang Zichen as she caressed her disciple's head. The source of this content is Freewebnᴏvel.com.

The Yu Clan arrived next, and Yu Yan received them. By now, her relationship with her sister had eased, so she chatted happily with her and her nephew.

After the visitors arrived, Wang Wei showed up to meet with everybody. He met and talked to all the elders and even met the Branch Patriarchs.

The Wang, Yan, and Li family have small worlds where most of their family members reside, and these people are the branch members of the clan. And each branch has a leader.

After socializing with everyone, the ceremony began. Wang Wei and Wang Tian stood in front of an altar while everybody watched them from behind. In front of the altar, Wang Wei had to take an oath to protect and develop the sect to the best of his ability.

When Wang Wei finished his oath, the clouds above the sect changed as auspicious clouds surrounded the entire Domain to announce to the world the new change in leadership.

After the ceremony ended, the guest had a small dinner before Wang Wei dismissed himself to have a separate dinner with his family and friends.

The next day, he met with his father, his Shadow, and Wang Ju.

"This is for you," said Wang Tian as he handed him a talisman. "This contains all the information you need to know as sect master. Although I don't need to remind you, I still will. This is only for your eyes."

Wang Wei nodded as he took it. Then, Wang Tian looked at Wang Ju.

"According to the sect's rules, as the Shadow Leader, you have the right to challenge the sect master if you feel you are more qualified than him. If you succeed, you will become the Sect Master instead. So, will you challenge him?"

"No," hurriedly said Wang Ju, who knew she inherited this position not because of her strength but because of her loyalty. She did not become confused because of the power she had.

"Alright," said Wang Tian before handing out two booklets to the two of them. Wang Wei read the title: "Lord's Shadow."

He quickly read through it before a slight surprise shone in his eyes. This technique allowed him to refine Wang Ju as his shadow. As such, she can gain access to his strength based on their close bond.

According to this scripture, she can access 95% of his strength if she is loyal enough. Moreover, she is incapable of betraying him after she becomes his Shadow, and her life will be in his hand.

Wang Wei will only suffer a slight backlash if something happens to her. However, if he were to die, she would die as well.

This technique is unique because it applies even if he proved the Dao.

"Is this an Insurgent technique?"

"Yes. After you prove the Dao, as long as Wang Ju becomes a Dao Ancestor or Immortal Venerable, she will be able to access some of your strengths, making her an Insurgent Heaven Chosen."

Wang Wei sighed, "It's a shame the Shadow Ruler Emperor was our 8th Emperor. Otherwise, we would have so much more Insurgents."

With this technique, the sect could probably only cultivate two Insurgent Heaven Chosens unless other Insurgents produced by other Emperors could use this technique.

If they could refine a Shadow who can borrow their strength, it would create a cycle. However, Wang Wei guessed there should be some limitations.

"So, what's your decision?" asked Wang Wei toward Wang Ju.

"It would be my honor, young master. No, sect master."

She understood what kind of opportunity this was. She believed with only 70% of the sect master's strength; she would be able to suppress all the Heaven Chosens of this generation except for the Di clan heir.

So, how could she reject such an offer?

"It's good you accepted. But this technique should not be easy to cultivate, and the price of failure is death. So, wait until I find the Shadow Innate treasure to increase your success rate."

"Thank you, sect master."

Wang Tian smiled after seeing this interaction.

"Is something wrong?" Wang Wei asked.

"No, it's just weird not being the one called 'sect master.'"

"You can slowly adapt."

Wang Tian nodded before looking at his Shadow, who proceeded to hand another talisman to Wang Ju. With his voice that seemed like both woman and man, the Shadow said:

"According to the rules, all the informants in my hands will now be under your control. You can slowly incorporate them into your Fate Shadow Guard."

The power transfer process went smoothly without any problems, so Wang Ju and the Shadow excused themselves. Then, Wang Tian told his son many of his experiences and the things he must watch out for during his reign.

Then, the father and son talked about other topics.

"Do you know what you'll do for your Mortal Dust?"

"I do, and the same for your mother."

"When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow."

"So soon?"

"You'll be fine. If you don't understand something, you can ask your grandfather."

"Alright. Be safe."

Wang Tian patted his shoulder before leaving. Meanwhile, Wang Wei closed his eyes to sense the Qi Luck advantage brought the status of [Sect Master].
