Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor
chapter-272

"Oh, did they send the token?" asked Wang Wei calmly.

"Yes," replied Wang Ju, who then presented the token to him. Wang Wei nodded in satisfaction, then he asked: "What about the assassination on Ji Su?"

"Unfortunately, we were too late."

"It's fine." Wang Wei knew his actions were purely out of anger, so now that he calmed down, he did not care about the outcome.

"When is the Tablets Secret Realm opening?"

"A week from now."

"A week? It should be enough time," muttered Wang Wei, "Is there anything else?"

"The Divine Dao League asked the sect to allow Fang Lijuan access to the Pagoda Trial. The sect master asked that you can decide."

"Let me see their offer," said Wang Wei, as he took out a paper containing the resources that the League was willing to offer. However, he soon sneered after reading.

"The Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty offered an Innate material, and this is the best that they can offer?"

"Well, it is common knowledge that the Divine Clans are slowly fading into obscurities. Most of their foundation has been used up trying to break their bloodline restrictions," replied Wang Ju calmly.

"Tell them to offer an Innate material like the Great Zhou, or the answer is no." Then he dismissed Wang Ju.

He was also about to say goodbye to Wu Hong before entering a brief cultivation retreat, but she stopped him to give him something first.

Looking at the book in his hand, Wang Wei was puzzled, then after opening the first page, he squinted his eyes.

"Are you sure about this? I cannot reciprocate the favor, at least not now."

"There is no need to be like this with us," replied Wu Hong with a smile.

Wang Wei sighed before nodding. The book in his hand is an Emperor Scripture; to be precise, it's [Empress Wu Sealing Sutra], known as one of the most powerful cultivation techniques that ever existed.

The reason that Wang Wei said that he could not reciprocate the favor was that the sect's rules do not allow him to pass their Emperor Scriptures to anyone--even with his status.

However, once he creates his scripture, he can do whatever he wants with it.

Wang Wei took a moment to read the scripture, then he sighed. He read all the nine Emperor Scriptures of the sect, and only the Origin Path Scripture come close in terms of uniqueness.

Many ideas appeared in his mind after reading that scripture. Although he could not cultivate it in such a short moment, it did inspire him when it comes to creating his scripture.

Then, Wang Wei suddenly had a brilliant idea. "I need you to help me with something!" He whispered something to Wu Hong's ears.

"Well, I should be able to do it, but you will need other things for your plan to be successful."

"The sect can deal with the other problems," replied Wang Wei. Then, the two schemed together before Wang Wei entered his cultivation room.

He took out the Devil God Bone from Ji Song's body, then absorb it into his body. No, to be precise, he fused it with his bones, making it permanent.

Since the bone was left after Ji Song's death, then someone might be able to rip it from his body. He did not want to take any chances.

Unfortunately for Wang Wei, this bone was way too powerful for him alone to accomplish this task. So, he called his grandfather to help. However, even Wang Chang could not do anything.

In the end, one of the Emperor Formations had to be secretly used to help Wang Wei completely fused with the bone.

In the final moment, before the bone was completely fused, an accident occurred. The Will of the Devil God appeared to mess around.

At first, Wang Wei was going to use his own will to fight this Devil God to temper himself, however, he soon realized that this guy's power was not nearly as powerful he wanted it to be.

Unfortunately, this guy was simply impossible to get rid of. Even after defeating him in a Will Battle, he remained inside Wang Wei's body.

So, Wang Wei decided to use his Soul to get rid of him, however, an idea suddenly came into his mind: it was to test his True Will ability against him.

So, he gathered the power of his 13th Body Refining Realm, his Infinite Divine Sea, his 720 Divine Runes, and his more than 60 Origin Patterns, forming his True Will.

The moment he attacked the Devil God, the latter screamed out loud: "The Duyi Realm? How can you have such power?" Then, he was annihilated.

"Duyi Realm?" muttered Wang Wei. "Is that the real name of my True Will Ability? I've never heard anything about this!"

Then, he pondered whether to ask Wu Hong, but he refrained from doing this. He did not want her to get in trouble again. When it comes to power beyond his control, Wang Wei's attitude has always been to be patient and careful, otherwise, he will the one who suffers.

By the time that he absorbed the Devil God Bone, it was already time for the Secret Realm to open, so he left for the Academy with Yan Chen. Luckily for him, he arrived in time.

As soon as Wang Wei met with the other Heaven Chosens, he noticed something odd about them. He could see an invisible golden shield surrounding them. He then realized that this might be the power of the Heavenly Dao Protection Book.

Right now, all these 29 people are immortal. No matter what people do them, they will be revived. Well, at least until the Primordial Spirit Realm.

'This might be a problem,' thought Wang Wei to himself. Soon though, he noticed something that he overlooked: Feng Heng was not part of the people here.

He knew that the latter forfeit from the Tournament midway through, and there were rumors that it was because he awakening the Yin-Yang Eyes. Wang Wei always felt that something was odd with Feng Heng after his encounter in the Qi Luck Trial.

The latter obviously had the power of the Yin-Yang Eyes, but he denied it. But now, he suddenly "awakened" this power. Everything seemed fishy.

Wang Wei's brain rapidly moved, 'Could it be that he stole the eyes from the real owner. Given that he could not use its strength properly back then, he hid it from everyone. This would explain why he was so weak despite having such a physique.

'But now, he discovered a way to inherit the true Yin-Yang Eyes, so he used the excuse of sudden awakening to explain.'

Then, Wang Wei suddenly remembered the strange individual who used a formation to have a secret conversation with Mo Xingyun.

'If that person is Feng Heng or related to him, this could explain a lot of things. Feng Heng most likely made a deal with Mo Xingyun to acquire her power of Devour to swallow the Yin-Yang Eyes from the real owner.

'Whatever he offered her might be the reason that the Mo family started to move around and searching for something soon after Mo Xingyun had this meeting. And it was also around that time that Feng Heng also quit the tournament and returned to his sect.'

Wang Wei guessed that he figured out most of the situation, even if there are a few things that he is not aware of, it should not be that important.

Speaking of Feng Heng, he also noticed that Liu Meixiu also did not show up for the Tournament. Even someone like him wanted to use the Tablets, so he did not believe that she and Feng Heng did not want to as well.

Thus, given his grudge against her and Feng Heng's shady behavior, he decided to spy on these people's movements more urgently. So, he took out a talisman and ordered Wang Ju to place more emphasis on those two.

Soon afterward, the top 30 Heaven Chosens used their token. A massive gate appeared in front of them, and everyone entered.

After entering the gate, Wang Wei found himself in a strange place. 3000 Stone Tablets were floating in the air, and 30 seats were on the ground. The seats were numbered 1-30, and the first seat was the closest to the Tablets.

After seeing this, Wang Wei sneered as he could guess that this was the Academy's scheme to instigate infighting between those people. If it was a normal Tournament, the seating arrangement would have been determined by the ranking, but now, the Tournament was canceled and there was no ranking.

With the pride and arrogance of those Heaven Chosens, they will fight for a better spot.

Ignoring all of those people that were looking at one another with vigilance, Wang Wei walked to the first seat, sat down, and closed his eyes.

The other top Heaven Chosens looked at one another, but they did not say anything. They knew that he deserved that spot.
