Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Wang Wei spent the next few days reading about Dream Dao in the Scripture Storage Hall, learning about the basics. During the entire experience, Gu An was always there to accompany him, and explain many things to him so that he could learn faster.

Wang Wei gave her a strange look but did not say anything. After all, he was in someone else's place. One day, after their session in the hall, Gu An left to see her master.

While sitting in front of Tang Zichen and drinking tea, Gu An remained quiet during the entire ordeal.

"Little An, is there a problem?"

She opened her mouth to answer but hesitation made her not dare.

"If you want to say something, there is no need to hesitate."

"Master, why do you want to get close to him?"

"Our Eternal Dream Sect has always been a close ally to the Dao Opening Sect," replied Tang Zichen while sipping her tea.

"I know the history of the sect master. Ever since one of our sect masters gave up competing for the throne and married one of the Great Emperors of the Dao Opening Sect–even though she had a much higher chance at winning, our sects have been great allies.

"Even since then, many people from the three great families have intermarried with our sect. However, this is not the reason that we need to lower ourselves to such an extent."

Tan Zichen looked at the tea in her cups as she swirled it.

"Disciple, do you know one of the main differences between an Eternal Emperor and other Great Emperors?"

Gu An pondered for a moment, "Strength?"

"Yes but not absolute. There have been a few Great Emperors whose strength has been on par with Eternal Emperor. For example, the Flame Emperor, the Dusk Emperor, The Three Purities Emperor, and many more."

Tang Zichen paused for a moment as she sipped her tea once again.

"The difference that I'm referring to is the amount of Dao Ancestors and Immortal Venerables that they can create; no Great Emperor–no matter how powerful they are–can compare to an Eternal Emperor in that aspect.

"This is one of the reasons that the Dao Opening Sect is one of the most powerful sects currently existing; that's because they have cultivated two Great Emperors.

"In the Endless Void, amongst all the Heaven Will World, there are many sects who have cultivated more Great Emperors than them, but the number of sects or factions that has cultivated more than one Eternal Emperor can be counted in one hand.

"This is how rare Eternal Emperors are."

Tang Zichen sighed. To become an Eternal Emperor, talent, strength, wisdom, Dao Heart, Will, and State of mind need to reach the absolute peak.

However, one of the key factors is luck or destiny. Every Eternal Emperor is born at the right opportune moment because they carry great destiny to them

The Qiyuan Emperor spread Dao to the world, the Human Emperor made humans the protagonist of this world. The Absolute Beginning Emperor should have stopped the harm that Buddhism Incense System was doing.

Empress Wu regained freedom for all the races in the Myriad Emperor World and stopped the devastation of the Devil Race. Emperor Kong spread knowledge to all cultivators no matter the origin, further developing civilization, and was known as a [Sage].

When it comes to the Heaven Devour Emperor, his destiny was to curb the development of devil cultivators in the Myriad Emperor World and lead the world to better development.

Unfortunately, he was rogue.

Of course, destiny does not mean that these people were born to become Great Emperors. It meant that they fought with all the people in the world and the final winner is the bearing of said destiny.

Of course, there are exceptions to these rules. From what Tang Zichen knew, the Ancient Emperor Era was a marvelous time because the Destiny or Luck to become an Eternal Emperor was abundant.

The entire cultivation civilization had collapsed and was in the process of rebuilding. This is the reason that there was more than one in that period.

Technically speaking all the ancestors of that time, like the Formation Ancestor, Pill Ancestor, and so on had the opportunity to become Eternal Emperor. Unfortunately, they failed short at the last minute.

Another exception was the Sword Empress; she is considered one of the few people in history who did not rely on destiny to become an Eternal Emperor; she relied purely on talent and ability to defy the odds.

She did not have some great tasks to accomplish or anything along that line. Although historians have attributed her with the glory of elevating Sword Dao to the pinnacle, this was just something she did on her own.

"Master, what does this have to do with anything?" asked Gu An.

"After our sect master abandoned the Emperor Path for the sect of her marriage to Wang Zhang, the latter later proved the Dao while taking the name Turtle Armor Emperor; he became the fourth Emperor of the Dao Opening Sect.

"Back then, our Eternal Dream Sect also had Three Great Emperors and the Dao Opening Sect was not considered the most powerful sect in the world. Although people still respected them because of their founders, it was nothing compared to now."

Gu An frowned not understanding where her master was going with this, however, she listened carefully as she knew that her master liked to rumble on.

Maybe it had something to do with age. Of course, Gu An would never say these thoughts out loud.

"After proving the Dao, the Turtle Armor Emperor rewarded our sects with a few spots of Dao Ancestors and Immortal Venerables. Additionally, the fifth and sixth Great Emperors of the Dao Opening Sect also offered one spot to repay the Karma back then.

"However, after that, from the 7th to 9th Emperor, we never received any spots as the Karma had been paid. Although our sects remained close allied, unfortunately, our sect has not been able to cultivate a Great Emperor of our own for many years."

"In conclusion, our sect has not had any ancestors' level characters for many years, but what does this have to do with me getting close to him?" asked Gu An.

Tang Zichen sighed after hearing this question; she knew very well that her disciple was not the brightest when it comes to political matters. She looked into the distance as she continued:

"Ever since the catastrophe at the end of the Middle Emperor Era, the Myriad Emperor World has been in a slug; the development has been slow, stagnant, and even somewhat regress.

"In general, this New Emperor Era has been quite disappointing as a whole. And many great people of wisdom have foreseen this result long ago. So, they calculated and predicted the time that the new Era is coming, and sealed themselves to wake up afterward and cultivate in a prosperous age.

"According to their calculations, the time for the change of this era is approaching. With Wang Tian's rise in the last generation, many people thought that the time had finally come.

"Unfortunately, after Heavenly Dao cut off the Path of Supreme, people guessed that this generation would most likely be the one; that the Destiny of Eternal Emperor would appear, leading to the birth of an Eternal Emperor and the beginning of a New Era.

"When all the Top 10 Heavenly Physiques appeared at the same time when countless Heaven Chosens began to develop and grow, people knew that their guesses were correct.

"The New Emperor Era will end in this generation."

Gu An pondered deeply. Although she was slow when it comes to certain matters, she was not stupid otherwise she would not become the Saintess of the sect. So, after a while, she understood her master's meanings.

Wang Wei is one of the people with the highest chances of proving the Dao in this generation, which meant that he might become an Eternal Emperor. This in turn meant that he will be able to create more Dao Ancestors and Immortal Venerables than any typical Great Emperors.

So, if she could get with him, to become his wife or even concubines, then he can reward the Eternal Dream Sect just like the Turtle Armor Emperor did.

"But master, after contacting for the past few days, he does not seem to have any interest in me."

Tang Zichen glanced at her apprentice and secretly shook her head; she could tell that the little lass felt like it was insulting of her status to try to seduce another person for benefits.

And in some ways, she was correct. However, as a sect master, Tang Zichen has to see things differently. Her disciple is not talented enough to fight for the Heaven Will in this generation, so she has to find another way around.

One other option is to wake up another Heaven Chosen that has been sealed in the sect. However, this act will have lasting effects on her as a sect master, and it did not mean that these people could compete after waking up.

After all, just because they were Heaven Chosens in their time did not mean that they would be so in today's time–especially in this Glorious Age.
