Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor-Novel

Wang Wei was a little surprised that Jian Wushuang would expose such secrets out loud in front of so many people. Usually, most sects would hide their embarrassment or dirty secrets to the world. But, after thinking about it for a while, he could guess the reason.

Most sword cultivators are usually straightforward in their personality; they do not care about outsider’ perception of them. All they care about is the pursuit of the Sword Dao and their honor.

Although a major defeat at another swordsman can be considered dishonorable, it does not really matter if that person truly earned their respect--just like Wang Wei’s father did.

After a brief pause of contemplation, Wang Wei then said:

"Young Sword Sage Jian Wushuang, I am afraid that I cannot accept your challenge."

Jian Wushuang frowned after hearing this, then he continued: "Sacred Son, if you need to place a bet with conditions like Crown Prince Ji Song, I am more than happy to oblige."

However, Wang Wei just shook his head before answering:

"This is not about any conditions or bet. If you want to challenge me to a duel, I will be more than happy to battle with you. However, if you want to challenge me in the Way of the Sword, I am afraid I have to disappoint you as I am not a swordsman."

Jian Wushuang’s frown did ease after hearing this as he could understand Wang Wei’s meaning. Since he wanted to clear the shame from the last generation and get the sect’s face back when it comes to the Way of the Sword, it does not make sense to win over a non-swordsman.

Jian Wushuang’s victory over Wang Wei would just be a victory of one Heaven Chosen to another, not the Sword Casting Villa’s Dao of Sword over the Dao Opening Sect’s Dao of Sword.

While Jian Wushuang was thinking, one of his senior brothers in the Divine Body Realm suddenly stepped up and screamed: "If you are scared to fight, then say so. Do not use any excuse."

The entire arena once again went into shock as everyone quieted down and waited for something to happen, and they did not have to wait long.

Wang Wei’s gaze turned to the person who just spoke. Then, a powerful and terrifying aura enveloped the arena. This aura was like an ancient desolate beast or Primordial God that roamed the world in ancient times.

This Primordial Being used to hunt Dragons and Phoenixes for both his breakfast and dinner. He used the stars as his snack, and Heaven and Earth as his dessert; he was a predator at the top of the food chain.

After that aura enveloped that senior brother, he coughed up a big mouthful of blood, then he fell to the ground and passed out. If it was not Jian Wushuang who used his sword intent to protect him, this guy would have died on the spot.

Jian Wushuang looked at his senior brother on the ground and sighed. He knew that many of the disciples of the Sword Casting Villa were indoctrinated to treat the Dao Opening Sect as their enemy in this generation. This was a way to motivate them to train properly in order to regain the sect’s face from what happened in the last generation.

So, many of them have developed deep hatred for the people of the Dao Opening Sect, and Jian Wushuang was aware of this. Nevertheless, he always warned them to treat Wang Wei with the proper respect as he was a truly powerful Heaven Chosens and deserved such a thing.

Fearing that something similar might happen back in the True Dragon Inn, he warned his fellow disciples to be on their best behavior. However, this particular one always tried to contradict him and refused to listen to him. This was the reason he did not bring him to the True Dragon Inn Meeting.

After using his Divine Sense to check that this person was alright, Jian Wushuang ignored him before asking: "Sacred Son, how do you suppose we deal with our contradictions?"

"Simple," replied Wang Wei. "Wait until you reach the same realm as my father, then go challenge him. That way, he cannot use the excuse that you are a member of the younger generation to refuse your challenge."

If anyone could see Wang Wei’s face right now, they would see a gleeful smirk and a sneer.

Of course the reason for that was that he did not want to deal with the trouble that his father caused. He knew that his father had probably offended a lot of people in his generation.

His actions were telling these people that do not come with me with your problems, but go directly to the source. Wu Hong chuckled after seeing the face that Wang Wei was making--reminding him that he was not alone in the room.

Although he was a little embarrassed that the girl he was trying to court saw this particular nasty side of him, his face was thick enough to ignore such a thing and pretend that nothing actually happened.

Meanwhile, back in the sect, Wang Tian had veins popping up his forehead as his mouth kept twitching. He cannot believe that his son sold him out like that.

He remembered that in his generation, he had to deal with some of his father’s enemies that tried to go after him for revenge.

Wang Tian sighed after watching what his son did. What made more angry was not his actions, but the fact that he did not think of such a method during his time: it would have saved him a lot of trouble.

He then looked at his wife who was laughing herself out to the point of being uncontrollable.

"What are you laughing at?" said Wang Tian. "His message is for your enemies as well!"

"Unlike you, most if not all my enemies have already taken a vacation to Samsara, so I have nothing to worry about," replied Yu Yan after taking a great deal of effort to calm herself down.

Back to the Emperor Enlightening Academy:

Jian Wushuang nodded to Wang Wei to acknowledge his idea, then did not say anything else besides telling another of his fellow disciples to take care of the person that was injured.

Meanwhile, most of the audiences were still shocked by that powerful aura that emanated from Wang Wei’s body. That aura actually came from his fleshly body. After all, the purpose of the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture] is to imitate the ancient Primordial God that is sleeping in the Blood Earth Forbidden Land.

Headmaster Bai Han--who saw that there were no further disruption--continued the entrance ceremony, thus waking everyone from the dread most of them felt from Wang Wei’s aura.

Inside his booth, Wang Wei suddenly coughed a big mouthful of blood all over the table in front of him. He looked at the blood and frowned, then he went to clean up the trace on the corner of his mouth.

However, Wu Hong was ahead of him and took out a silk piece of rag and wiped it for him.

"You need to ease up on the gravity training," she said while helping him clean up.

The reason she said these words was because in order to train his internal organs, Wang Wei had a powerful gravity array placed on his clothes, thus always being in a state of cultivation. This has started ever since his battle with Han Li.

"I can’t help it. Recently, I realized that I have been a little too arrogant and started to take things easy on myself," replied Wang Wei.

"Is it because of Di Tian?"

Wang Wei was silent for a while, then he answered:

"Yes. After meeting him, I have a feeling that if I do not push myself beyond my limits and get more powerful as soon as possible, then I will be in serious danger--even before the Heaven Will Battle."

"It is good to push yourself, but you also have to know when to stop."

"Don’t worry, I have a very powerful regenerative ability."

"I do not need to warn you that if you push yourself too much, then your healing ability will start absorbing your lifespan to make up for it."

Wang Wei knew about this, but his plan was to use an abundance of resources that provide life force to continue his training.

After Wu Hong said these words, she placed her hand on Wang Wei’s back, then countless runes appeared from her hand and entered his body. Immediately afterwards, he felt all his pain were gone. He felt refreshed and rejuvenated.

After taking a deep moment to feel the changes in his body, he realized what Wu Hong had done: she had sealed away all his pain and injuries, then removed them.

’Worthy of [Empress Wu Sealing Sutra], a technique said to be able to seal everything between Heaven and Earth,’ secretly thought Wang Wei. Then, his eyes lit up and he said:

"Maybe you can help me with my current problem."
