Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor - Chapter 1292: Aftermath
[Unedited Chapter]

“Anything else to report?” Wang Wei asked.
“Nothing for now,” Red Mask replied.
“Alright,” Wang Wei nodded before looking at Mongke: “What’s the current situation of the Profession Hall?”
“There were not as many resources as expected,” Mongke replied. “It seems Blood Dragon controlled these people strictly. However, I discovered countless Heavenly Flames available for them to use. Additionally, Blood Dragon once refined a Paragon Soul into a formation to provide enough soul power for their work.”
“No wonder these people were determined,” Wang Wei commented. He could predict the working situations of these professionals. Blood Dragon forced them to work for countless yuan epochs without rest, using the Soul Formation to replenish their soul power and spirit instead of taking a break.
“I’m surprised these people did not break sooner,” Wang Wei commented.
“There is a reason for that.”
“Oh?”
“Have you heard of the Dao Path Tablet?”
Wang Wei took a moment to remember, “You mean the Luck Condensing Artifact from the Skill Dao Association? The one that contains the explanation of all professional Daos from 0% to 100%?”
“That’s correct,” Mongke nodded. “These parasites took it for themselves and have agreed to share it on a time basis. These professionals endured for so long just for an opportunity to use that thing.”
“Tell me it was our turn, and this thing is in our possessions,” Wang Wei quickly asked.
“Unfortunately, no,” Mongke broke his dreams. “Blood Dragon went through a lot of effort to make a copy, but it only goes until 89% or the peak of Empyrean.”
“What a shame,” Wang Wei sighed.
“Boss, even if the real thing was here, would you there take it?” Mongke asked. “You should know what Skill Dao Association will do to retrieve this item once their ancestors return.”
“Why wouldn’t I take it? I’m not the one who stole it in the first place,” Wang Wei replied. Of course, it’s another question of whether to keep it. Such an item is enough to start a Dao War between two Overlords.
“I figure you would say that,” Mongke chuckled.
“We must get our hands on that thing,” Dulgun said with a severe face.
“Of course,” Mongke nodded. “Blood Dragon might not be able to copy it fully, but the Barbarian Clan and the Dao Opening Sect should have no issue.”
This was a supreme artifact used to cultivate professionals. Although many top lineages have their methods of cultivating professionals, they are not as good as the Skill Dao Association or the Origin Seal Continent. However, the latter is not so good at training professionals as they are excellent at teaching Runes, which is the foundation of these professions. If the Barbarian Race and the Dao Opening Sect can get their hands on that artifact and copy it, their lineage’s overall foundation will drastically improve.
‘This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Wang Wei thought. Under normal circumstances, the Skill Dao Association would never allow such an artifact to leave their sight. Truth be told, Wang Wei did not believe the parasites could force the association to hand over such an artifact. They would rather fight and perish with those bastards than hand it over.
The only way they could have succeeded is if the two suns intervened, or one of the parasites—probably Time Eater—used the name of the two suns to force the association to hand over the artifact.
“Do you know whose turn it is?” Wang Wei asked.
“The Earth Emperor,” Mongke replied. That’s what the professionals told him.
‘Should he be my next target?’ Wang Wei thought. However, he soon gave up that idea. His next target must be chosen after years of gathering information, analysis, and maybe even waiting for an opportunity.
“Put a little more emphasis on the Great Chu Divine Dynasty,” Wang Wei ordered Red Mask. “The current situation should have everyone on edge, so law low and be less aggressive until their nerves are no longer tense.”
“I understand.”
“Anything else?” Wang Wei asked Mongke, but he shook his head. So, he focused on his wife: “What’s the situation of the spiritual herb garden?”
“I’ve never seen an entire garden made of Primordial Chaos Soil,” Dulgun sighed. However, despite her words, Wang Wei was not surprised. He knew these parasites had amassed too many resources, most of which were wasted. So, he was not surprised Blood Dragon had access to the rare Primordial Chaos Soil, capable of growing anything.
“That is good news,” Wang Wei nodded. Emperor Tier and above spiritual herbs have different requirements for soil, nourishment, environment, and even growing time. As such, raising these magical herbs usually takes time and a great deal of expertise.
However, Primordial Chaos Soil removed most of these hassles. It can grow 99% of herbs without worrying about the environment. It can draw nutrients directly from the Source Qi Space or the Grand Dao Source to nourish the herbs, and lastly, it can significantly accelerate the maturing time.
“Yes,” Dulgun. “Additionally, the garden has also birthed its own plant spirit, which also greatly enhanced the maturing time of the herbs.”
“So, it’s a top spiritual garden,” Wang Wei said. “Does it have its own Time Acceleration Formation?”
“It does,” Dulgun nodded. “Better yet, it also has a Good Fortune Array and a Supreme Wood Array to aid it.”
“Is the garden naturally made?” For a moment, Wang Wei thought the thing might have been some kind of Supreme Chaos Artifact.
“No, artificially,” Dulgun replied. She also had the same idea as Wang Wei and checked, but she realized the thing was the result of Blood Dragon’s hard work and effort.
“I see,” Wang Wei nodded. “Anything else?”
“The Blood Dragon planted a lot of Bloodface Flower,” Dulgun reported.
Wang Wei frowned. Bloodface Flower was something used by Innate Creatures and Demons to accelerate their bloodline development. However, this thing should have been useless to the Blood Dragon since his bloodline had matured by the time he had proven the Dao. So, unless he had acquired a unique bloodline on par with Fiendgods or a Supreme Chaos Bloodline, it would have been useless for him to use this flower.
However, Wang Wei remembered one of the minor effects of this Bloodface Flower — increased physical strength. As long as someone has a decent enough bloodline, they can continue to take this flower and improve the strength of their physical bodies.
“So, this bastard was afraid of the pain of true body refining, so he decided to take the easy way out,” Wang Wei commented. It’s possible for someone to have the physical strength of an Empyrean or a Paragon without being a part of the True Power Dao Realm.
“Most likely,” Dulgun nodded.
“Well, it doesn’t matter now,” Wang Wei said. The Bloodface flower was perfect for his Human Fiendgod Bloodline. Once this mess is finished and he retreats, he has more confidence to cultivate his body to a higher level with the fastest speed possible.
“I think that’s it for now,” Wang Wei announced. The aftermath of today’s operation was far from over. After all, Blood Dragon controlled millions of worlds, and the resources available to him have not been counted and categorized yet. However, this kind of work is for Wang Qi and his managerial team.
“All of you have done a great job in this operation, and you’ll be rewarded,” Wang Wei continued. “However, you have to wait for a few days until Wang Qi categorizes everything. In the meantime, you can try to convert Blood Dragon’s people into our own. The ones who agree can be integrated, but you can feed the rest to the Devouring Cauldron.”
Wang Wei paused briefly after saying this: “Everyone is dismissed except for Mongke, Dulgun, Jia Ping, and Flame Blacksmith.”
These words should have ended this meeting, but Puppet Demon, who was gritting his teeth in the corner, suddenly spoke up: “Sir, I have something I want to report.”
“Oh? I’m listening,” Wang Wei said.
“With enough resources, I can build a puppet army on par with the army we saw in the illusion,” Puppet Demon announced. “They will be fully armored, powerful, have no feelings, and can be extremely useful after teaching them a powerful enough array.
“More importantly, they will take less time to be built.”
“That’s a bold statement,” Wang Wei said with squinting eyes.
“I’ve thought of a new method, sir,” Puppet Demon. “With enough professionals at my side, we can build the puppets with a standard size. Then, we’ll create different parts before assembling them.
“With this method, our efficiency will increase exponentially.”
‘Did he just create the cultivation version of the assembly line?’ Wang Wei thought, looking at the Puppet Demon strangely. ‘When did this guy get so smart?” Wang Wei looked at him and realized what had happened. This guy felt the pressure. He realized Wang Wei mostly valued Mongke and the others, while the others were just pawned. Feeling the pressure, the Puppet Demon thought of this way to make himself valuable and enter the inner circle.
