Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1546

Chapter 1546: Elder Council (IV)

Once Wang Wei’s treatment ended, three of the Grand Elders vomited weird things like gas, bugs, or a weird substance. However, the last one — Grand Elder Zhou Shihong — only perspires for a few seconds.

"They should be all fine, except Grand Elder Zhou Shihong. Whatever methods used on him is behind my ability," Wang Wei said.

"What do you think we should do with him?" Qiyuan asked.

"Put him into isolation until my method is improved," Wang Wei suggested. Since Zhou Shihong was innocent, there was no need to kill or lock him in a harsh prison.

"Understood."

"What about the others?" Wang Wei asked. There should be people with problems among the other elders, or even the lower Deacons or disciples.

"Shadow Ruler is in charge of monitoring and drawing out the people behind them," Qiyuan revealed.

"That’s the best approach," Wang Wei nodded. Grand Elders have the most power and access to sensitive information, so it’s understandable why they must be dealt with. However, the others can be used as pawns to draw the chess masters behind them.

"You should be careful," Wang Wei warned. People who can bypass most means of detection, and leave means of control deep into someone’s [Existence] are never simple.

"I will," Shadow Ruler nodded simply.

Qiyuan waved his hand to send Zhou Shihong away before focusing on the remaining three Grand Elders. "I apologize for being so harsh. And as I said, you will be compensated."

"No, we understand," replied Grand Elder Xie Yuehan with a horrible expression. The Xie Clan was in charge of the sect’s shadow network, but as someone with such power in the clan, he was unknowingly compromised. He was lucky he was not executed for his crimes.

"Now, let’s continue the meeting." Qiyuan waved his hand to summon jade talismans for everyone. However, there was a seal on the talisman with a contract that everyone must sign before reading the content.

’Hmm? This contract seems to be an alternate form of the Existence Contract. It seems the sect has already started adapting to the upcoming age,’ Wang Wei commented as he signed the contract. However, his lips twitched immediately afterward.

The content was the information Wang Wei provided. It was about the importance of the lower dimension and his Heavenly Emperor Era, and his deduction about how the Transcendent Age will shape up with the Cardinal Tribunal creating new Envoy Positions like the Netherworld Emperor.

"Ancestor, is this news true?" someone asked.

"Yes. Grand Elder Wang Wei has deduced all this information and received news from a trusted Yama King," Qiyuan nodded. Everyone glanced at Wang Wei for a few seconds, with some even nodding to him.

"We need to plan for the future now. For starters, we should increase our connection with the lower dimension. Communicate with them more often, try to provide more resources within the rules, and recruit more talent."

"Recruiting more talent? Are you suggesting we send a projection to the lower dimension to bring recruited talents back?"

"That’s right."

"You think Heavenly Dao would allow this?" Such a method would mean people from the lower dimension can ascend without powerful cultivation, ending the concept of separation between the lower and upper dimensions.

"Don’t be too quick to dismiss the idea. Heavenly Dao should understand the importance of the lower dimension, and that what we are doing is the future trend of Heaven and Earth. So, maybe, we can start a new precedent."

"Grand Elder Savage Body has a point. Plus, even if Heavenly Dao is uncooperative, we can designate one Immortal Sovereign in each generation to ascend and bring the recruited talents," someone suggested. The rules stated that ascending Immortals can bring people with them, so this was a way to achieve their goals.

"I agree with these suggestions, but I should remind everybody that with the upcoming disaster, the lower dimension will probably be isolated once again," Miscellaneous stated.

"We can start now before the blockage, setting up the foundation for later."
