Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor-Novel

The material in the hands of Wang Wei was called Deep Copper and it was a very rare Supreme Tier material used for refining magical weapons. The purpose of him having it is to actually blend the material into his skin.

The hardest part of cultivating the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture] is not the breathing method or the skin refining with wind blades. Although the special breathing method is hard to learn and it is quite painful to refine the skin with the power of winds, there were still myriads of people talented enough to finish these two steps.

However, the most difficult process was how to absorb the material into the body.

Wang Wei took a long breath and entered a deep state of meditation. He focused all of his mind and spirit into the Deep Copper.

Wang Wei did not know how long passed, but suddenly he felt a weird fluctuation from the Deep Copper. He became happy as he knew that he had finally found the Dao Breath of the Deep Copper.

After taking a few minutes to calm himself down, he used the method in the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture] that allowed his body to imitate the same breath from the Deep Copper. Soon afterwards, Wang Wei discovered that the copper had disappeared and was crawling inside his skin.

Wang Wei clenched his teeth. This process was more painful than he imagined. Compared to this, the pain he felt when every inch of his skin was burned in The Sixth Layer of Hell was nothing but child play.

What’s worse is the fact that the pain did not last for a just brief period. No, it lasted what felt like an eternity. When the process was over, Wang Wei learned that it took him more than 3 years to find the Dao breath of the Deep Copper and for it to enter his skin.

Wang Wei then looked around the room. There were more than a hundred pieces of shed skins lying down on the floor. From the shape of them, he knew that they belonged to him. He then looked at his own skin.

Wang Wei thought it would turn copper in color, but it was the opposite. His skin became even more white and smooth than it originally was. He could guess how many women would envy his skin complexion and probably kill to have a similar one.

Wang Wei then took out a Top level Profound tier sword. Without hesitation, he slashed down with tremendous force on his left hand.

Clink!

With the sound of metal clashing, the Profound tier sword bounced back from Wang Wei’ skin. It did not even leave a trace. This meant that Divine Altar cultivators cannot harm him with his powerful defense.

After the first test, Wang Wei took out a low level Earth Tier weapon. After slashing his left arm, a deep mark resembling a sharp object trying to cut off leather armor was left there. After a few seconds, the mark healed and disappeared.

Wang Wei then placed the tip of the sword on his arm, then pushed it down with force. After resisting for more than a minute, his skin was pierced and started bleeding. However, after a few minutes, the wound was completely healed and his skin returned to being as smooth as polished jade.

"Just refining the skin gave me a defense comparable to the Supernatural Realm," muttered Wang Wei. After his first success in cultivating the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture], he did not stop there.

Without much rest, he started to refine his muscles.

Inside his cultivating room, Wang Wei was holding a gigantic cauldron above his head while he did squats in the horse position.

Sweats were constantly dripping down his body. This magical cauldron seemed to be able to determine the highest level of weight he could bear and slightly increased the weight so that Wang Wei would reach his absolute limits.

Furthermore, without reaching his limits, Wang Wei discovered that it was impossible for him to put the cauldron down.

Wang Wei started to use another special breathing method to refine his muscles while bearing the weight of the cauldron. Luckily for him, he did not need assistance this time around as the sect developed a way to use origin qi to assist in refining the muscles.

Every day, Wang Wei would lift weight for about 20 hours until he broke his limits countless times. Then he would spend an hour taking a medicinal bath to recover his body, then slept for the remaining three hours.

At the end of the day, Wang Wei would be extremely tired and panting like a dog dying out of exhaustion.

This strict and methodical process lasted for more than 2 years. Fortunately for Wang Wei, as a cultivator, all he needed was two to three hours of rest to get back in peak shape spiritually/

Unfortunately, his body cannot be said to be the same. Every morning, he has to wake up with extremely sore muscles. Breaking his limits every single day had a terrible toll on his body. If it was not due to the medicinal baths, he might have long turned into a crippled, or at the worse, used his lifespan to make up for it.

Nevertheless, despite all the hardships, Wang Wei still insisted. And now, he has reached the standard to begin the next process.

After spending half a month relaxing his nerves, Wang Wei headed to the Body Refining Secret Realm. This time, he entered the second floor: the lightning and thunder floor.

There were countless different types of thunder on this floor. The deeper the floor, the more powerful and destructive the thunder was. This time Wang Wei headed straight for the inner layer without pausing.

The reason he did that was to speed up the muscle refining process. Just refining his skin took him more than 5 years. On top of that, the preparation for his muscles took him another 2 years. And the process was so short only because of the purity and strength of his origin qi.

He did not want the second process to take longer than necessary.

In the inner layer of the second floor, Wang Wei saw a purple river with lightning and thunder flashing on top of it. He knew that the entire river was actually made up of liquified Thunder and Lightning.

He remembered that this purple thunder was known As Purple Blessing Thunder. As the name implies, as long as someone survives the destructive power of this thunder, they will receive certain blessings. It was quite similar to Heavenly Tribulation.

Ignoring the other disciples bathing in different parts of the river, Wang Wei took out his robe and jumped deep into the river--a decision he soon regretted.

"Fuck," said Wang Wei immediately after entering the river. The pain was so intense this time that he could not help but curse out loud. In fact, if it was not due to his proper education, he would have said countless more vulgar things.

Wang Wei had to experience the pain of all of his 600 muscles being destroyed and re-growing again, over and over. What is even worse was the fact that the pain was instantaneous and without a single pause.

As such, for the first time in many years, Wang Wei had to scream due to the pain. Luckily for him, he was under water and no one could tell that he was screaming.

In the process, his muscles became tougher, more dense and more elastic. He could feel his strength growing at an alarming rate--even faster than when he had to do intense weight training.

Another benefit was the fact that as time passed, Wang Wei discovered that he could perfectly control every single muscle fiber in his body.

The refining process took 8 years this time. Almost a decade. However, Wang Wei was still satisfied with this speed. He looked at the purple river and sighed.

Wang Wei wished that he could use Divine Punishment Thunder to refine his muscle instead. The benefits he would receive are unimaginable. However, he knew that would be suicidal. Even a tiny portion of divine punishment thunder could kill him if he did not have the proper method.

However, Wang Wei did mind too much. He still has a chance in the future when he becomes more powerful.

After exiting the Secret Realm, Wang Wei headed back to his cultivation room. This time he was holding a stack of bronze material.

This ore--who was in the same level of the Deep Copper--was known as Innate Bronze. It was also an extremely rare refining material used to refine magical weapons or puppets.

After spending another 5 years, Wang Wei managed to find the Dao Breath of the Innate Copper and absorbed it into his muscles. The process was also excruciatingly painful.

For a defensive test, Wang Wei took out a middle lever Earth tier sword to check. After the sword pierced his skin, it was blocked by his powerful and dense muscles. No matter how much force he used, the sword could not pass through his muscles.

Even if a few of them were cut, they would immediately grow back. Right now, Wang Wei could easily defend against Divine Body Realm cultivators.

Wang Wei then headed to the training room next door.

There, he gathered his whole body strength and threw a punch. He did not use his origin qi, just pure physical punch.

With this punch, the sound of a cannonball exploded in the room.

Bang!

A powerful force traveled from Wang Wei’s body while ignoring air pressure and friction and hit the wall of the training hall. The wall shook and began to shake. The ground started to make spider web like cracks due to the sheer force exerted by this punch.

If it was not the formations who activated in time, the entire room would have been blasted off.

Wang Wei grinned as he could tell that this punch was way more powerful than his [Dragon Sovereign Fist]. With this punch only, he exuded more than 10,000,000 jin (5,000,000kg) of pure force.

With pure physical strength alone, he could single out most Divine Body Realm cultivators. Not to mention he still has his origin qi.

Throughout the past 20 years, Wang Wei did not stop cultivating. In this Divine Altar, there were about 112 Divine Veins inscribed. Which means that he had already entered the middle of the Divine Altar Realm.

After exiting his training room, Wang Wei saw his head maid, Wang Ju waiting for him outside. A happy smile appeared on his face as he greeted her.

"Wang Ju, it is good to see you back from your seclusion! Did you successfully break through the Divine Body Realm?"

Wang Ju bowed politely as usual, and answered, "Yes, young master. With the help of the sect, I was able to be successful in my breakthrough."

After hearing this, Wang Wei frowned instead of being happy. "From what I know, cultivators in your realm can spend hundreds of years in retreat. And you came out after only a few decades. Are you sure everything is fine?"

"You don’t need to worry, young master. The sect took me to a special Secret Realm that sped up my practice in order to finish early and come helping out."

In fact, Wang Ju lied. She had to use a secret technique in order to sacrifice her lifespan to make such a fast breakthrough. However, she did not mind.

She knows her talent very well. Although she is confident to one day enter the Supreme Realm, she knows that she could never keep up in terms of cultivating speed when it comes to these Heaven Chosen that are destined to fight for the Heaven Mandate.

And if she cannot keep up with the young master, the sect will be more than happy to replace her with someone else that could.

As for her missing lifespans, she did really care about it. As long as the young master managed to prove the Dao, the benefits she will receive far outweigh the things she sacrificed.

Since Wang Ju said everything was fine, Wang Wei placed the topic behind him. After all, the sect was very powerful and had a deep foundation. It is not unheard of for them to have such a Secret Realm.

"So, what brings you here today, Wang Ju?"

"I’ve come to remind the young master that the time for the trial is approaching."

"Is it already time?"

"Yes. As the young master is aware, when a cultivator steps into the Supernatural Realm, he will receive a random Innate Talent and the degree of power of said talent is based on a person’s Qi Luck."

"As such, it is necessary for the young master’s Qi luck to turn Purple-Gold before acquiring your own Innate Talent."

"Huh, what is this trial about?"

"This trial requires that the young master heads toward the Lower Plane and sets up a Fortune Dynasty(Cultivating Kingdom). Then blend your own Qi Luck with the Luck of the entire Dynasty. Using a certain secret method, the young master can absorb part of the Dynasty’s luck without being too affected by Karma."

"Oh, that’s kind of interesting. Do you know any information on what plane this trial will take place in?"

"If it was before, I would answer positively. But now, the trial has changed. The Great Wu Imperial Dynasty discovered a new plane that has been in chaos for countless years. They invited many factions of the Central Continent to use it as this time’s trial."

"How long do I have to prepare?"

"About five years, young master."

"That’s plenty of time. Did someone notify Li Jun and Yan Liling?"

"Yes, they have already received the news and are now preparing."

"That’s good. I’m looking forward to the next challenge ahead."
