Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Dao Opening Sect, Tianwei Peak:

Sect Master Wan Tian also received the information about the events that took place during the meeting at the True Dragon Inn. After reading the information, he muttered to himself:

"Worthy to be my son, he should have this kind of domineering spirit."

Then, he continued to review all the information that was sent to him through talismans.

"Shadow," said Wang Tian after finishing reading.

"Yes, Sect Master."

"Go gather all the information about this Wu Hong. Do not leave any stone unturned."

"As you wish."

Heaven Bliss Domain, Emperor Enlightening Academy:

A meeting of the headmaster and all the teachers was taken place in order to discuss not only the events at the True Dragon Inn, but also to prepare for the [Heaven Chosen Selection Trial].

"The Association of Chamber of Commerce has just sent news that they have chosen Lin Fan for Xi Shi's Dao Companion," said headmaster Bai Han in order to start the meeting.

"So quickly?" asked one teacher.

"Yes. After all, they also wanted to further secure our existing alliance. Adding to that the information that we secretly gave them, it was only the best result for both parties," explained Bai Han calmly.

"Now, let us discuss the events of the meeting. Supreme Teacher Qiu Jin, you were there, so what do you think?"

The eyes of all the people in the room turned to Qiu Jin--who was in fact the Dao Protector and Teacher of Lin Fan. He has been with him ever since the Lower Realm, and was also present during the meeting.

After taking a brief moment to organize his thoughts, Qiu Jin then explained his analysis on Wang Wei.

"He is different from the rest of them. His way of thinking, his vision or the way that he sees the world is both grand and far-reaching. Not to mention his unwavering confidence. From what I saw in that meeting, he has already started thinking about what he will do after becoming Emperor. And it is possible that he has already made plans for that."

"Isn't that just being arrogant?" asked one teacher with a frown on her face.

Qiu Jin looked at the person who asked the question before answering calmly: "The line between the two is always blurred and based on the success of a person. If the Sacred Son manages to prove the Dao in this generation, then he is a confident person. If he fails, then he is arrogant. Either way, it does not change the fact that this kind of thinking does give him an advantage over other Heaven Chosens--especially when comparing to Fan'er who suffers from low self-esteem due to his background from the Lower Realm."

Everybody nodded in agreement with him, then Headmaster Bai Han asked: "What about his strength? Did your talent detect anything?"

One of the reasons that Qiu Jin was chosen as Lin Fan's teacher was because of his Innate Talent. His talent allows him to scan the strength of a person, then derive possible directions for development.

With this talent, it is possible for Qiu Jin to develop the best training plan for anybody; he could turn an ordinary person into a genius through strict training plans. He could allow any person with a Heavenly Physique to develop their special body to their full potential, and beyond.

Of course this talent is not hundred percent full proof. A perfect example of that is the fact that the Academy had to redraw their training plans for Lin Fan when they realized that their current one was not nearly enough to have an advantage in this Glorious Age.

"Unfortunately, there was this weird power that prevented me from discovering anything from him," replied Qiu Jin.

"What weird power?"

"It was similar to the one he used to test the people that entered the inn. According to theory, he should have acquired it after breaking the 13th Barrier of the Body Refining Realm."

"Did we ever find any information about such a thing in our records?" asked one teacher. However, all the other people just shook their heads.

Meanwhile, Headmaster Bai Han had a frown on his face as he started to think. He remembered a conversation that he had with his father long ago about such a topic.

According to his father, this kind of thing was somewhat of a semi-taboo and secret of the world. Bai Han remembered that his father had a look of regret on his face--which was a very rare thing given his status and strength.

"Well, did you discover any news at all?" asked Headmaster Bai Han after reigning in his thoughts.

"Well, I did," replied Qiu Jin. "For once, his fleshly body is scary. I do not know how far he pushed it, but it is very terrifying. For his fleshly body to reach such a level, he must have suffer through countless pain and suffering. All of you can imagine what kind of Will is needed to become a Body Refiner, let alone reach such height. A person that can be this cruel to himself…"

Although Qiu Jin did not say anything, the other teachers understood his implied meaning.

"Another thing that I did discover, or verified, was the fact that his soul is indeed very unique. Although I could not use my Divine Sense to scan it due Yan Chen's presence, I still felt some kind of dread solely based on what I sense normally. His soul hides many secrets."

The room instantly became quiet. If even a Supreme Realm True Monarch says that Sacred Son Wang Wei' soul brings him dread, then what level is the secret behind his soul? Great Emperor? Beyond it?

"Is it really to that extent?" asked one teacher with a little tremble in his voice.

"Yes," nodded Qiu Jin. "Luckily for us, from what I have observed, he seemed to not know how to use that power. Well, he might not even be aware of what exactly it is."

Many people sighed in relief after hearing this. As long as Wang Wei does not know how to use such a power, then they still have a chance.

"Anything else?" asked Bai Han.

"Yes, Headmaster. We need to find a way to deal with his Young Emperor's Pseudo-Domain."

Bai Han nodded after hearing. Before the Saint Realm, before acquiring their own Domain, Young Emperors have a large advantage in battle against other people. Not to mention that Young Emperors can merge their Pseudo-Domains and their real Domains after entering the Saint Realm.

"That is actually an easy solution. All we have to do is to create an origin artifact that has the Aura of a Great Emperor embedded in it. That way, the aura can offset some of the powers of the Pseudo-Domain," replied Bai Han after hearing this question.

This kind of method has long been studied throughout the years. Although there have been few Young Emperors, the number is still quite significant if you take into account the long history of the Myriad Emperor World.

This kind of method is not hundred percent effective, but it can level the playing field to some extent during a battle.

"Now that we are done talking about Sacred Son Wang Wei, let's discuss the [Heaven Chosens Selection Trial]. Did everybody show up?

"No, sir. It seemed that both Liu Meixiu of the Herd Raising Valley and Zhen Biyu of the Five Element Palace are not present and showed no sign of comming," responded one teacher.

Bai Han had a frown on his face after hearing that. He was not surprised that the number 6 Five Element Balance Physique, Zhen Biyu, was not coming. She is a very pure Taoist cultivator.

From the information that the Academy gathered about her, she is the type of cultivator that solely focuses on enlightening the Dao. She does not participate in fights, dramas, or contradictions. She only cultivates.

Many people believe that she will only show up during the time that Heaven Will shows up in order to fight for it.

As for Liu Meixiu, Bai Han could not find the reason for her absence.

"Is there any more information about Liu Meixiu?" he asked.

"None except for the fact that she seemed to be acting weird ever since she lost in her trial against Wang Wei. Many people believe that she may have suffered a mental setback after that."

Headmaster Bai Han had a feeling that things were not as simple as seen on the surface. However, he did not dwell on this matter too much as Liu Meixiu was not important enough to truly affect the World's Stage.

Although the Myriad Beast Body is very special, the conditions it needs to reach a certain level is too harsh.

"Forget about the two of them. Is everything else prepared?" asked Bai Han.

"Yes, headmaster. In that case, the trial will begin a week later."

All the teachers nodded and left to do the final preparations. They do not wished for anything wrong to happen. After all, not only is the Academy's reputation on the line, even their Qi Luck can be affected if something were to go wrong.
