Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 355 - Cause And Effect

Many years ago, Wang Wei predicted the Karma Backlash he would face because he stole many people's luck using a shoddy method, and the fact that he was so weak.

So, he was prepared in advance and delayed the backlash for as long as possible. His original plan was to use the Origin Pill Dao Sect's luck to withstand that backlash.

As long as he met with his third senior and used her strength, the backlash–which came in the form of countless people chasing him for stealing from them–would be solved.

However, another plan came to mind; he wanted to use this situation to get some answers regarding the [Flame Controlling Art]. And the first step in his plan was to drastically increase the backlash before transferring it to his third senior sister, Lan Ling.

Although doing so was taking a little risk, it was a calculated one.

Unfortunately, Wang Wei did not have a deep understanding of Karma to magically transfer the backlash to another person. So, he used ordinary means.

During one of his heists of other people's fortunate encounters, he secretly changed the aura of the object he stole to make it appear more valuable than it was. Then, he left clues that he might be a member of the Origin Pill Dao Sect; these clues also led people to believe that the powerful weapon he stole was in his third senior sister's hand.

After noticing something, Wang Wei no longer hesitated. He took out a Heaven Tier Void Transferring Talisman and activated it. This was a talisman he made himself.

Over the past two hundred years, he has studied divine runes in-depth, and with Lou Cheng's talent that can now perfect engraved runes, his accomplishments in Talisman Making exponentially increase along with his Alchemy.

A silver light enveloped Wang Wei and he disappeared. Soon, he found himself in front of a forest. He immediately used his Divine Sense to search the surroundings, and after not finding anything, he walked in one direction.

Based on his feelings, he soon found himself on top of a valley. When he looked down, he saw many people waiting in front of a cave. The majority of these people were in the Void Shattering Realm.

After scanning these people with his eyes, he could feel countless grievances surrounding many of them as an invisible red hue was plastered on their bodies, and no matter what they did, they could not get rid of it.

With his extremely keen senses, Wang Wei could even feel a smell of decay on these people.

'Devil cultivators? No wonder they dared to do something with Lan Ling even though she was a disciple of an Emperor Lineage.'

Of course, there were a few other loose cultivators amongst this group. He guessed the mentality of these people. As long as no one said anything, they should have enough time to run away and escape the hunting of the Origin Pill Dap Sect.

Wang Wei gazed did not stay long on these people. With Lou Cheng's current cultivation, if he stares too long at these Void Shattering Powerhouses, they will notice it.

He did some calculations and realized that his conjecture was correct. This method was possible to transfer the backlash to Lan Ling. So, he took a few minutes to ponder the deeper reasons behind this.

Karma is the principle of cause and effect. He stole other people's fortunate, that's the cause. The effect is the backlash he would receive: his identity as a thief would be revealed and people would chase him down.

Then, there is the correlation between Karma and Luck.

As long as he revealed his identity as a disciple of the Origin Pill Dao Sect, and the direct disciple of the sect master, the majority of people will not dare to blame him for his action. This is a way of using the Sect's Qi Luck to withstand the backlash of Karma.

However, if the cause is strong enough, meaning one of the fortunate encounters he stole is precious enough, the effect/backlash will not be so easily blocked by his sect's Luck. This is the current situation of his third senior sister after shifting the backlash to her.

A trace of enlightenment flashed across Wang Wei's eyes. Unfortunately, it was not enough. However, he was happy as he had a foundation to understand the Dao of Karma in the future.

With a smile on his face, Wang Wei looked at the cave that stopped all these people. A purple miasma could be seen coming from it. Just by the color, once could tell that this thing was highly poisonous, even to beings of Law like these people.

He took out five pills from his space ring while muttering, "Could this be considered poetic justice? Or fate?"

He did not throw the pill. With these people's reflexes and their current strength, they would immediately realize something and evade it. Instead, he took out another Void Transfering Talisman.

This one was of the highest quality and did not produce any space fluctuation. He activated it before sending the pills inside.

Clouds of red, green, and dark suddenly enveloped the crowds.

"Who dares to sneak attack this young master?" roared one of the devil cultivators, who immediately proceeded to manifest his law to protect himself.

Unfortunately, to his horror, he discovered that it was useless. On the contrary, the more he used his law, the faster the poison spread to his body and soul.

"Heaven Grade Law Corroding Poison? Could the reinforcement of the Origin Pill Dao Sect already arrived?"

Unfortunately, this was the last thought of this person along with the rest. Their skins soon turned black before dissolving into a pool of green blood and puss.

With a calm look on his face, Wang Wei waved his hand and a gust of wind blew the poisonous gas in the valley. He ate a few Antidotes and Poison Restants Pill before flying into the cave full of poison miasma.

Because of the purple vapor in the cave, Wang Wei could not see anything so he had to rely on his Divine Sense. Even then, he could only see a few meters in front of him as the miasma seemed to have the ability to cut off Divine Sense.

While flying in the direction he senses, a scorpion more than 30 meters tall suddenly attacked him. Luckily, he was prepared. A Talisman was already in his hand and a moon-shaped sword light flashed and cut the scorpion into two.

He nodded in satisfaction with this Sharp Gold Talisman.

Without pausing, he continued on his way. During the fly, Wang Wei encountered many demons. Most of them were poisonous kinds like centipedes, snakes, scorpions, and toads.

Thirty minutes later, he arrived at a smaller cave. However, this time, he could see a pink fog coming out. With a frown on his face, he took a few more Heaven Grade Poison Resistant Pill, placed a shield around him, and entered.

Unfortunately for him, as soon as he walked, his shield proved to be useless. The fog entered his body ignoring the shield. The fog even ignore the pills that he took and started to directly influence his mind.

Immediately, Wang Wei felt his blood rapidly rush, the yang energy in his body intensified. Countless pictures of beautiful women flashed in his mind as lust became the dominant emotion; no, the only emotion.

With a slight groan, Wang Wei suppressed his desire. Unfortunately, he could not control his physical reaction.

Ignoring these unimportant things, he looked around to see Lan Ling lying on the floor. He rushed to her side, and immediately, he realized that her face was flushed and her eyes blurred.

The moment he approached her, Lan Ling–who was squirming on the ground–used her Void Shattering power to pounce on him and pin on the ground.

With a swift move, she shredded the upper part of his robe, revealing his chest and muscular physique. And she did not stop there as she reached for the lower part as well.

A paper talisman suddenly appeared and blasted away. Wang Wei was freed, at least temporarily. Yet, Lan Ling seemed to have lost her mind and pounced on him again and again, even though the talisman kept pushing her away.

With no choice, Wang Wei took out a small metal disk from his ring. He injected his origin essence into it, then the Formation Disk was activated to create a small barrier around Lan Ling.

Despite all of this, she did not stop trying to pounce on him.

While using his powerful will to suppress the Aphrodisiac inside his body, Wang Wei took out another set of robes to replace the current one.

Once he was done, he further activated the formation, and Lan Ling suddenly laid on the floor, finally subdued. He walked inside the shield and looked at her on the floor.

He could see the endless and irresistible lust in her eyes. The senior sister he knew was gone and replaced by a mindless beast filled with only desires.

As he looked at her, Wang Wei was pondering about something important. After meeting Lan Ling, he knew that Lou Cheng and her were fated to be companions.

However, until now, she never displayed any affection towards him. Although she was nice, this was more of the attitude of fellow brothers and sisters, and because of her education and ideologies.

However, Wang Wei now knew the reason that these two got together. If he was the real Lou Cheng, there is no way that the latter could ignore this Aphrodisiac and should have given in to his desires.

After taking his third senior sister's body, with her conservative nature and the culture of this world, she would choose to become his companions.

However, here comes the problem.

If Wang Wei did not steal people's luck and acquire backlash if he did not send that backlash to her, then they would never be in this situation.

You can go even a step further and say that if Wang Wei did not impersonate Lou Cheng, none of this would happen. If he did not have a Paragon-quality soul, the events that lead to here would also not happen.

And all this situation, the only thing that he seems in control of was the fact that his will was firm enough to resist the aphrodisiac and not go along with the final step.

All of this seemed like a coincidence, but is it really?

"Is this the power of Fate? The power of Karma, of Cause and Effect?"

Everything seemed to flow so naturally that is impossible to detect. Even if detected, it is not possible to know whether all of it is true, or the paranoia of the mind.

Suddenly, Wang Wei seemed to have understood something but not really; his realization seems too short and brief.

"If I want to control my fate, one the most important step will be to understand cause and effect, and escape its shackles."

After sighing out loud deeply, he pointed at Lan Ling and began to read her Fate Line.
