Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

He barely listened to Lord Spirit before entering the pagoda. He received a message on how this trial will proceed. A few seconds later, it began.

A large number with at least 20 zeros appeared above his head, and Wang Wei felt a slight pressure on himself. However, the pressure was not on his fleshly body; he had to carry the weight with his Willpower.

Then, the number increases by at least three zeros every ten seconds. Then, at some point, there were no longer any words but the character for [Small Thousand World].

This character meant that Wang Wei had to carry the weight of a Small Thousand World with his Willpower, and to him, this was not difficult, so he ignored the trial and took his time to review the talisman from Miscellaneous One and learn how to refine an Immortal Pill.

A few seconds later, the weight on him changed to 5 Small Thousand Worlds before continuing to increase. A few hours later, the weight had changed to a Great Thousand World.

Feeling the drastic increase in the pressure, Wang Wei opened his eyes to check the situation. He read the character floating above his head before continuing his study.

After an unknown amount of time, he felt a sudden tremendous pain and opened his eyes to see blood coming from his nose. He raised his head and understood the situation.

He was currently bearing the weight of a Heaven Will World with his Willpower alone. However, his body could not withstand the power. Luckily, this trial level only lasted a few seconds before ending.

Then, Lord Spirit appeared in his layer, looking at him strangely. She had to do everything she could to hide the shock she felt after witnessing the result–especially when you compare the result with the second place Chu Luo and the third place, Jingwu Hua.

\'Chu Luo has gone through numerous reincarnations, and Jingwu Hua sealed herself for countless generations. So, I understand where their strong Willpower comes from. But this Wang Wei is truly an anomaly. Could he be so naturally gifted?\'

Some people are naturally born with high Willpower, but Lord Spirit do not think they can reach such a level.

\'It does not matter. The more talented it is, the better a choice for master.\'

"Is there a problem?" Wang Wei asked.

"No. You are the first in this trial, and I figured the reward might not be appealing to you. So, I wonder if you want to exchange it for something?"

"What\'s the reward?"

"Resources to increase Willpower."

"I see. I\'ll exchange for the same previous reward."

Lord Spirit then gave him a crystal full of a mysterious power.

"I\'ve been wondering. What is this thing?"

"It\'s called Tempering Qi. As the name suggests, it can help cultivators temper various body parts: muscles, bones, meridians, acupoints, etc. It\'s an excellent body refining resource because of its versatility."

"I could see why it\'s precious. Anyway, thank you."

Lord Spirit bowed before disappearing. Immediately afterward, the other participants received the result and the allocated points. Wang Wei got 1000 points, and Chu Luo only had 800 points to display the difference between the two.

Subsequently, Lord Spirt began the subsequent trial: Dao Heart. And to Wang Wei\'s surprise, he discovered he had once again entered the [Road of the Heart], standing at the sixth section where he left off during the Void Shattering Realm.

So, Wang Wei continued walking in the different sections. He saw many illusions that tempted and questioned his sanity and morality–primarily his recent actions in the Demon Supremacy World. However, he ignored them until he reached the 10th and final sections.

Wang Wei saw someone waiting for him in the middle of the road, sitting cross-legged with a table and tea.

"It\'s you. Why are you here again."

"That\'s a good question. You tell me."

Wang Wei sighed before sitting in the second seat, facing the other person. He looked at the person who looked exactly like him except for a more evil aura.

"Heart Devil, what do you want this time?"

The Heart Devil poured himself a cup of tea before doing the same for Wang Wei.

"I\'m here for one reason: Wu Hong. Why didn\'t you have the conversation about her motive with her."

"I forgot."

"You don\'t forget, you can\'t forget," replied the Heart Devil. "Unless you subconsciously want to."

"Maybe you\'re right that I have subconsciously avoided talking to her," replied Wang Wei as he took a sip. "However, I don\'t think that matters this much. I know for sure that she loves and would never betray me."

"I agree with you. However, you still need to have the conversation. Your Dao Heart cannot have the tiniest flaw, and if you don\'t confront the truth–even if you already know in your heart the answer–the flaw will not go away."

Wang Wei did not say anything as he continued to sip his tea. He knew the Heart Devil was correct. Since he knew she loved him, why couldn\'t he have the conversation? That\'s because a tiny part of him feared he would discover something else in that conversation.

No matter how slight that fear is, it is still a flaw.

"Alright. I won\'t procrastinate anymore."

"So, are you going to talk to her now?"

"Soon."

"How soon."

"I said soon, so get off my back."

"Whatever," said the Heart Devil in anger. "It\'s your Dao Heart, and you can leave a flaw if you want."He chugged the entire pot of tea before slamming it on the table. Then, he disappeared.

Wang Wei\'s eyes twitched before shrugging his shoulder and walking to the end of the section.

Wang Wei opened his eyes and felt a sublimation in his Dao Heart. He also felt a microscopic flaw. Although this flaw was so minor to the point of being insignificant, it was there. With his current Dao Heart, he could still bear the Heaven Will.

\'Let\'s deal with this as soon as possible.\'

Soon, the ranking list appeared, and to everyone\'s surprise, Ji Lanfang was number one in this trial, followed by Wang Wei in second place and Chu Luo in third.

Wang Wei slightly frowned before accepting the result.

Meanwhile, in Chu Luo\'s area, he analyzed the result.

\'A trial that focused more on the flaws of the Dao Heart instead of how powerful or robust it was? It would make sense that a Swordsman who dedicates everything to the Way of the Sword would have no flaw.\'

As for him, this trial showed him he had a few flaws in his Dao Heart. The first one was his failure to comprehend the slightest of his [Existence]. Even after so many years, he could not forget it.

The second flaw was his failure to pass the Supreme Outlaw Trial–despite his parents going to extreme lengths to have three attempts and survive. Nevertheless, he failed and wasted time and resources on his first three reincarnations.

Consequently, his parents had to pay another price to allow him to use a restricted Dao of Creation.

The third flaw was he felt he owed his parents too much for everything they did for him. He had hidden guilt that he deleted their futures because of their sacrifices. So, he desires to become an extremely powerful Eternal Emperor and help them to return the favor for their nurturing.

\'This trial has helped me find the flaws in my Dao Heart so I can fix them.\'

Chu Luo\'s eyes became focused before exiting the pagoda; there were no rewards for this trial since pointing out the Dao Heart flaws of these Heaven Chosens was the reward.

They all looked relieved after discovering the problem since they could target and deal with it. As soon as Wang Wei left, he sent a communication talisman to Wu Hong for her to contact him once she was available.

Then, he focused on Lord Spirit, who seemed to have a more eerie smile than usual.

"I have good news for all of you: there will be changes to the combat trial. It will not be a battle competition between you, as you expected. It will take a different form that will allow you to gather many points–enough points to not even care about the first seeded token."

Many people frowned as they were getting a little tired of this trial constantly changing the rules: it was too chaotic for many.

"Lord Spirit, will you tell us what it will be in advance, or do we have to wait?"

"Of course, I\'ll tell you. It will be in your best interest to prepare in advance," replied Lord Spirit with a wide smile. "So, the battle trial will take place in the form of…."
