Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 231: Spirit of the Epoch (3)



All the cultivators in the world were tremendously surprised by this recording image, as it was truly both shocking and revealing.

Who was Fu Caiyun?

He is the Great Elder of the Origin Pill Dao Sect--which is an Emperor Lineage that has cultivated 5 Great Emperors, and all of them were Alchemist.

The Origin Pill Dao Sect is the leader of the Alchemy Association located in the Southern Vermilion Bird Continent. Any cultivator that wants to acquire the title of Alchemist, they have to go to the Association to test their qualifications and level.

Of course none of these were the true reason that such a news was truly sensational; the real reason was actually Fu Caiyun’ status all over the world.

He is known as the Greatest Alchemist Alive in this Generation. Despite being only a Saint Real cultivator, he can refine both Supreme Grade and Quasi-Emperor Grade Pills--though the latter’s successful rate is truly abysmal.

On top of that, Fu Caiyun is the only alchemist in countless generation that was able to cultivate the [Origin Pill Flame Scripture] created by the founder of the Origin Pill Dao Sect, the Pill Ancestor or Danyuan Emperor back in the Ancient Emperor Era.

This scripture is said to allow an alchemist to cultivate a special flame that can refine anything; it can also turn anything into pill material. An Alchemist who cultivates this technique could refine a piece of rock into a medicinal material needed for a pill.

Despite the heaven-defying ability of this Emperor Technique, the requirements or talent needed to cultivate it is very harsh. So, throughout the history of the Origin Pill Dao Sect, few alchemists were able to do so, and the ones that were successful can be considered the most talented of their generations.

Luckily for the sect, the last generation, Fu Caiyun appeared.

Unfortunately, this Fu Caiyun also suffered the same malady as his predecessor: being extremely arrogant.

Due to his talent as an Alchemist, Fu Caiyun’ status in this world is extremely high and respected. As such, he only gave face to a few people he deemed worthy of his equal, while always looking down on other people.

So, when it comes to making rare pills, without having a certain identity, Fu Caiyun will never agree to concort pills for someone. As a matter of fact, even the current sect master of the Origin Pill Dao Sect is looked down upon by him; if it was not the fact that he wanted to focus on Pill Dao, he would have been the sect master in his generation.

So, after seeing any analysis of Fu Caiyun, Wang Wei concluded that this guy was a person with a lot of enemies, and might even have some among the upper echelons of the Emperor Enlightening Academy. After a little investigation, it was not hard to find a few.

Then, he singled out the ones that had terrible habits like drinking and visiting the brothels. Following which, all he had to do was have one of the sect’s Shadow infiltrate the place he always visits, get in contact with him, feed him enough alcohol to get him drunk and guide the conversation to Fu Caiyun.

To Wang Wei’ surprise, the Goddess of Luck seemed to smile upon him as he discovered more than he imagined.

Originally, he just wanted that particular teacher to just speak badly about Fu Caiyun, record it before showing it to the world. He did not expect that this guy actually had an affair with Fu Caiyun’s wife, which made his plan even better.

So, after this recorded image was shown in front of trillions of people, the entire Myriad Emperor World started to boil. This level of scandal is rarely exposed to the entire world--especially when involving powerful people from Emperor Lineages like the Academy and the leader of the Alchemy Association.

Although Bai Han managed to close the formation, by then it was already too late. The information that Wang Wei wanted to show was already shown.

Soon, the consequences also followed.

The next day, the Alchemist Association, Talisman Association, Refiner Talisman and Array Association from the Southern Vermillion Bird Continent announced that they will cut their relations with the Academy.

As such, they will no longer grant them access to their resources such as precious pills, ores, and talismans. On top of that, all the professionals cultivated by the Academy or have any relationship with them will not be able to take their tests in these Associations and gain their official title or position.

Meaning no Alchemist or Talisman Maker trained by the Academy will be officially acknowledged by any of these Association; so all the benefits, powers, status and rights these professionals are granted throughout the world will not be available to them.

Of course as a powerful Emperor Lineage, the Academy can be truly self-sufficient without the need for outside resources. Except for a few very rare and precious ones that they need an outside source to get, these sanctions on them did not matter much--except ruining their reputations.

.. .

Inside a secret room, the upper echelons of the Academy were having another emergency meeting to try to save the situation.

Bai Han--who suddenly looked much older--was caressing his beard as he asked: "So, what were our losses in the past few days?"

The room was quiet for a few moments before one person started to report:

"Well, as you know sir, our Academy is divided into the inner and outer members. Since the incident, the Outer members--which consist of all the loose cultivators that only came to the Academy for our resources--have started to leave--especially the professionals. As of today, more than 90% have already left. As for the remaining 10%, although they did not leave, they seemed very distant to our Academy; they seem to want to take a ’wait and see’ approach."

The room was once again quiet as most teachers had a frown on their faces. Then someone asked: "It does not make sense. I understand why the Professionals left, but why did the ordinary cultivators leave? Didn’t they come to the Academy to get access to better techniques and resources?"

"They went to the Worshiping Dao Academy," responded the person who was reporting the previous information.

The teacher who asked the question had a frown on his face as he could not understand why they would leave their better Academy for a worse one. Although the Worshipping Dao Academy is also a Emperor Lineage, compared to their Enlightening Emperor Academy, it was far worse.

Not to mention that most cultivators are selfish by nature and only care about their own benefit. Then, that teacher seemed to think of something and asked: "Did someone else intervene?"

"Yes. The Dao Opening Sect just announced an alliance with the Worshipping Dao Academy. They decided to pool many of their resources together.

"Additionally, many of the Emperor Scriptures of the Dao Opening Sect appeared on the List of cultivation techniques that anyone can redeem with enough points, but like us, the price is simply impossible for anyone to truly get."

The teachers in the room secretly cursed to themselves. If you add the 5 Scriptures of the Worshipping Dao Academy to the 9 of the Dao Opening Sect, that is a total of 14 Emperor Tier Scriptures. Although all of them knew that it was impossible for these loose cultivators to acquire, they themselves did not know that.

All they care about is the fact that they have a chance to cultivate one or more of these 14 powerful Emperor Level cultivation techniques. This idea is enough to drive so many of them crazy and rush to the Worshipping Dao Academy.

After another long silence in the room, headmaster Bai Han then asked: "What about the Inner Members of our Academy?"

"Besides a very few, all the others are still in the Academy as their loyalty has been trained since young. However, the Professionals in our Academy are not very happy and are asking for the headmaster to give them a proper explanation.

"We have tried to explain to them that the teacher in the recorded image was captured and sent to Fu Caiyun in order to appease the Alchemist Association, but it was no use. But they were not satisfied with this explanation."

"Anything else?" asked Bai Han calmly--at least he looked that way on the surface.

"Our Qi Luck continues to decrease with each passing day, but there is currently no way to stop that. On the good side, we still have some allies that are still standing by us during this time."

Bai Han just nodded, but he did not say anything more. However, one teacher still asked:

"I don’t understand, why are all these sects combining together with the Dao Opening Sect? Do they want them to remain the most powerful sect in the world? Wouldn’t it be better if they supported us instead of them? It makes no sense!"
