Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1623

Chapter 1623: Catching Up

"What does it have to do with me?"

"Apparently, Stone Face has recently found a new concubine who gave birth to a son," Yan Liling explained. "It still baffled me how so many women could like that man. Anyway, his young son is an Empyrean, and he wanted one of your trial tokens. He even suggested that the tokens shouldn’t belong to the individual and become public property.

"The ancestors rejected his proposition, but he was not happy. He doesn’t dare show his dissatisfaction with me because I’m the Yan Clan Matriarch. The Li Clan protects Li Wenling, but Dong Lifen is the only one without a deep background; it also didn’t help that she didn’t mention her relationship with you.

"So, while he hasn’t done anything, he’s been staring and giving her dirty looks during meetings and so on."

Wang Wei groaned softly. "No need to worry about it, especially now that you’ve been invited to my mountain, he should understand you’re one of my people." Stone Face — well, that wasn’t even the man’s title, but something people called him behind his back — was actually quite politically savvy. While he had much power, he also understood who he could and could not offend. That’s why he survived for so long despite his terrible attitude.

"I understand that, but I would be more at ease if you could be a bit more direct," Dong Lifen stated.

"Alright," Wang Wei nodded before snapping his finger. Red Mask slowly ascended from his shadow. "Go talk to him." Red Mask silently nodded before slowly dissipating. This issue was not that big of a deal, especially since Wang Wei was about to become a Primal and ascend to the status of [Ancestor].

"Thanks."

"No problem."

"Here."

Wang Wei received a wine bowl and slowly smelled it. The aroma alone instantly washed away all the fatigue from the previous battle, so he did not hesitate to taste this nectar of the gods. No, even the gods would be ashamed to compare their creation to this wine.

"Your craftsmanship has improved so much," Wang Wei praised.

"Wine-making and pill refining aren’t that different at their core. As a Guardian, I had a lot of free time on my hands and endless material because of the Dream World."

"Well, it was time well-spent."

"Indeed," Yan Liling nodded before taking out a small pill bottle.

"This is?" Wang Wei asked as he opened the bottle to check the contents. "You did it?"

"Yes. Unfortunately, the Ascension Gate Pill currently only has a 25% chance of success — even after the sect’s alchemists helped me perfect the formula."

"25%? Can it be taken more than once?"

"Three times before the pill becomes useless."

"Well, that’s more than enough," Wang Wei said. Three chances to recondense the Gate of Ascension were more than enough. Above all, this formula was the first of its kind. Soon, there will be many, including actual techniques to help the process.

"How is that old man treating you?"

"Sir Wang Bo" — Yan Liling ensured to pronounce the name while giving Wang Wei a glare — "is very kind. He treats me better than his daughter."

"Another one was fooled," Wang Wei shook his head. He could not take that old man seriously after a few encounters. "I’m glad I won’t have to kick his butt. What about Li Jun — any news?"

"The last I heard about him was about 250 Yuan Epoch ago. He said he had reached the Paragon Peak and would start his Primal Training. He’ll return once he’s done."

Wang Wei sighed. "I understand his enthusiasm to become stronger, but he could have contacted me as well."

"This is for you," Yan Liling said, handing him a sealed information jade talisman. Wang Wei’s eyes lit up as he removed the seal, which was a password he and Li Jun established long ago. As he read the content, a smile crept on his face, followed by a chuckle. "How naughty." He was glad that his old friend hadn’t changed much.

He sensed a power secretly trying to peak, so he immediately sealed the talisman and put it away. In return, he received a deathly stare. Wang Wei coughed awkwardly before changing the topic. "I sensed my nephew’s karmic line. He finally ascended?"

"Yes, he wanted to follow in your and Sect Master Wang Tian’s footsteps to become an Immeasurable Emperor, so he spent most of his time raising his willpower to the Peak Great Emperor Realm. Once that was done, the final battle was easy for him."

"Oh? So, he’s the third Immeasurable? I wonder if his reward was as ordinary as my father’s," Wang Wei asked. Unlike him, his father merely received Empyrean Luck.

"He’s the fourth, and yes, he also received Empyrean Luck."

"Has someone else in the Chaos Universe also done it? Well, that makes sense," Wang Wei nodded. He was the first, and his accomplishment demonstrated to the world that it was possible. Now, others will strive to emulate his actions.

"What’s his title?"
