Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1267  The Banquet\'s Second Part

"So, do you know what happened to Battle Maniac?" Wang Wei continued. Wu Hong had answered only one part of his previous question.

"I don\'t know much about what happened to him," Wu Hong replied. "I know it had nothing to do with the Ultimate Taboo but an inheritance Qiyuan received from someone called the Trinity Venerable. He desperately wanted their three brothers and sisters to receive that inheritance, so he found a way to summon Battle Maniac to the past.

"Something went wrong, and Battle Maniac was the one who suffered as his Eternal Path achievement was rewritten."

Wang Wei nodded. "But how did he do it?"

"Summon people to the past? He made a deal with the Time Cardinal for the first time, and the latter gave him a Time Exemption Token, allowing him to mess with time to a certain degree with no consequences."

Wang Wei was surprised. "He went so far? What kind of inheritance did that Trinity Venerable leave?"

Wu Hong shrugged. Even though she was close with Yan Hai, she never mentioned that inheritance.

"You mention a second time; it should be when he summoned the Rainbow Emperor and the others."

"That\'s right," Wu Hong nodded. She then paused and looked at him strangely.

"What?" Wang Wei was puzzled.

"For the second time, he used what he learned from the token to create a formation that used his [Origin Dao]. From what I know, he wanted to summon the original 12 Emperors of the Dao Opening Sect from across time and space. However, the formation failed when it was time to summon the 10th one."

"But I\'m the tenth Emperor," Wang Wei said.

"That\'s right," Wu Hong nodded. "But I haven\'t sensed any summons?"

"I don\'t know what to tell you," Wu Hong continued. "No matter what Qiyuan did, he could not get past you, so he had to give up. However, they knew there would be something special about you since that day."

"Everything is connected somehow," Wang Wei sighed. "Why do you think the summon failed?"

"It\'s possible that your destiny was too strong, and you resisted the summon," Wu Hong replied. "However, I\'m more inclined to believe that Grand Dao knew your presence would affect the world too much if you travel through time and stop the process."

"That is indeed wise of it," Wang Wei sneered. He knew he would worsen the situation if he could participate in the Second Origin War. "Wait, I was planning on asking the ancestor if he could use any means to send me to the past. Does that mean this path is not feasible?"

"Probably not," Wu Hong replied. "Dao Overlords like yourself are natural troublemakers, so Grand Dao will place more limits on you."

Wang Wei wanted to curse. "But why do you want to travel to the past?"

"I realized that I\'m lacking in age and experience when dealing with old monsters like yourself. So, I figured I would go to the past and use that time to develop."

"Who are you calling old?" Wu Hong rolled her eyes. "However, I do understand since I face a similar situation." She had unparalleled talent and was confident in defeating anyone. However, problems arise when she meets people with the same talent as her or very close to her who have lived for a very long time.

"So, how did you deal with that problem?"

"At first, I sealed and removed those old people\'s experiences to learn from," Wu Hong explained. "However, that did not help as much as I wished, so I searched Primordial Chaos for an answer and found the Universe Imprint Trial, which contains the imprint of all Paragons that have ever existed in the Chaos Universe.

"I spent countless yuan epochs fighting them and learning from them. It was also beneficial that time passes much faster inside the trial than outside."

Wang Wei\'s eyes shined: "Can you get me in?"

"No, but I know that place is Battle Maniac\'s favorite place, so he has multiple entrance tokens. Get it from him."

Wang Wei smiled in relief. As long as his ancestors have a way, he should have no problem getting in. Although he hasn\'t completely given up the idea of traveling through time, this was a backup in case he failed.

Wang Wei was about to say something when he sensed something. He raised his hand to take out a talisman from the void. \'A communication talisman from the sect?\' He knew they would not contact him unless something significant occurred. He sank his divine sense into the talisman and received the information.

\'Xun Junyao…Summoning Ritual…Mortalhood Trial…This must be Xiao Tiandi\'s work. Does he want to catch up to me?\' Wang Wei shook his head. "Have you heard of the Mortalhood Trial?"

"Yes," Wu Hong nodded. "I once found a token for it, but I was already a Paragon, so it was useless," Wang Wei was not surprised by these words, but simultaneously, he wondered why this woman seems more lucky than him — someone who is favored by fate.

 "Why are you suddenly asking about this?" Wang Wei explained the information in the talisman.

"That\'s quite the clever plan, and it might work," Wu Hong praised.

"Do you still have the token?"

"No, I exchanged it with someone else," Wu Hong replied.

"That\'s a shame." Wang Wei would not hesitate to take advantage of this situation and use this trial in advance.

…

First Floor:

Xun Junyao praised the woman\'s wonderful poem about her beauty and nobility. The poem itself was wonderfully written, but she had heard so much praise of her beauty that it was hard for her to care. It also did not help that 99% of the poems, songs, and calligraphy displayed in this celebration were about beauty. As such, Xun Junyao showed more enthusiasm to the 1% who tried a different topic.

\'I was hoping he would participate in this event. Unfortunately,\' Xun Junyao sighed as she looked at Wang Wei\'s booth through the corner of her eyes. Many people on the second floor came down to show up in front of her or did it from the second floor, but that booth remained motionless.

\'Since he has no plans of acting, let\'s move things along,\' Xun Junyao thought.

"Fellow Daoists," she uttered, instantly quieting down the lively atmosphere by drawing, no, demanding, the utmost attention.

"This is the end for this art appreciation section." Everyone was surprised as this event had just started, and only more than 20% of the people went on stage. The people wanted to complain. This was their only chance to show themselves before their Goddess, but now it ended? However, since the Goddess herself ended the session, they have no right to complain.

"Thank you to everyone who participated. It meant a lot to me," Xun Junyao said with a more pure smile. Her action removed all these people\'s resentment and bottled emotions in seconds.

"The next section will be Dao Preaching," Xun Junyao continued. Everyone will have 1000 years to preach, starting with Tier 10 cultivators," She waved her hand to summon a blue incense stick for everyone in the celebration.

"This is the Heavenly Beauty Incense," she continued. "When used in tandem with the formations in the palace, the effect is no weaker than a peak Tier 11 Bodhi Tree. Now, we will start with Immortal Veneral Six Swords."

\'Since you don\'t want to participate, I\'ll make you,\' Xun Junyao thought. By understanding what kind of Dao this fated lover cultivates and how deep his understanding is, she can peep at what kind of person he is.

"Thank you, Lady Xun, for giving me this opportunity," said Immortal Venerable Six Swords, who was a handsome middle-aged man with the sharp temperament of a swordsman.

"Fellow Daoist, please give me thought on my Six Sword Technique, created after absorbing six unique Qi: The Four Pole Qi, the Heaven and Earth Qi, the Supreme Yin-Yang Qi, the Profound Yellow Qi, the Life and Death Qi, and the True Self Qi. Let\'s start with the four poles…"

Second Floor:

Wang Wei finally paid full attention to this celebration. Although he did not care about these people who resemble peacocks trying to show their beautiful feathers to attract a mate, he cared about the Dao Preaching, which can benefit him.

"This Six Sword is very lucky and talented," Wang Wei commented. It was one thing to find six unique Qi and another to fuse them perfectly. Additionally, he seems to have created a fantastic sword technique. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"He\'s from the Qi Core Race, so that\'s expected," Wu Hong replied. Wang Wei took a moment to remember this race, and he remembered that they were created in an attempt to recreate the Celestial Race\'s talent for Qi. Although the Qi Core paled compared to the Celestial Race, some of their talented members rival the latter.

\'Let\'s see if I can recruit him after this is all done,\' Wang Wei thought before closing his eyes and listening to the sermon.
