Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

"The rules are only one person can cultivate to the Fifth Heaven, and once that happens, there will be no more," Sir Lu continued. These participants became more excited; this trial brought back the feeling of the Heaven Will Battle, the feeling of competing with all their peers for a single spot of glory. "Please let me continue," Sir Lu stated to quiet down the murmurs. "Two people will be allowed to cultivate to the Fourth Heaven, 4 to the Third Heaven, 8 to the Second Heaven, and 16 to the First Heaven. "As you all know, even 1% can make a difference when cultivating in the Paragon Realm, so don't miss this opportunity — even the 16 First Heaven Spots." Sir Lu was correct. Cultivation in the Paragon Realm was challenging, and a difference of 1% can make a significant difference. Additionally, these participants have sensed a wind of change. Another round of chaos is about to cover the Chaos Universe, so the faster they grow, the higher their chances of survival. And if they grow fast enough, they might use the chaos to reach higher heights. "Do you think that was all?" Sir Lu smiled. "I got more for you. The first person to reach Fifth Heaven will receive five entrance tokens, the 2 Fourth Heavens will receive two tokens each, and the 4 Third Heaven will receive one token as a reward. So, hurry up and cultivate as fast as you can." Wang Wei calmly looked at the people around, secretly shaking his head. This trial took the concept of raising Gu to the limit as it dangled rewards before these geniuses to subtly encourage them to fight, compete, and kill one another. The interesting part is it does not matter whether you realize this; anyone with ambitions or pride in their heart will rise to the challenge. "Alright, this is everything for now," Sir Lu stated. "If there are any new developments, we will contact you through your trial token." As soon as he finished, countless people flew to the tower or directly to the hunting ground, leaving only a few level-headed individuals. "Follow me," Wang Wei said to the Dao Opening Sect people before flying to a corner of the Safety Zone. With a thought, he recreated his [Transcending Fate Mountain], including the small manor and garden. Of course, the garden only looked the same and did not contain all the precious flowers the genuine thing had. Wang Wei calmly looked at his residence. Although the mountain looked the same, anyone who had been there could tell it was not. The genuine [Transcending Fate Mountain] oozed the power of fate, but this one had a heavy Yin-Yang Aura. Additionally, the plague that called this place [Transcending Fate Mountain] now had the characters for [Plum Blossom Mountain]. Without hesitation, Wang Wei started engraving formations on the mountains while everyone else waited. Although this trial forbade fighting in this area, he would not place his safety on someone else. It took Wang Wei a few hours to finish, but he did not hurry. "Look at you: the word 'impatient' might as well be engraved in your faces," Wang Wei said as he walked inside the manor to his team. He sat on the main cushion, looking at this group: "I must remind you your primary objective is to become Paragons, not compete with others. You can compete with others after overcoming the Immeasurable Tribulation." Wang Wei let his words simmer, but it seems only a few of them heed his warnings. He frowned but did not say anything else. "For the beginning of the test, you must move in a group. Hunt the monsters in the first level from the weakest to the strongest; this should give you an idea of how strong they are for when you start solo hunting." "Young master, is this really necess—" The person hadn't finished his words when he felt a terrifying pressure weighing on him, and he immediately shut his mouth. "Su Dandan will be the team leader, followed by Xie Xiaoli as the vice-leader," Wang Wei continued. "Remember, your task is to allow your team to measure these monsters' strength and know how to hunt alone." "Understand," Su Dandan replied briefly, and Xie Xiaoli only nodded. "I don't think I need to help you with properly dividing the spoils?" Wang Wei asked. "No need," Su Dandan replied. "Good. You can leave." Wang Wei calmly watched them exit the premises, and once they were far gone, he uttered: "You can come out." The void in the room parted due to a terrifying sword will, revealing an ordinary man in blue with extraordinary eyes. "Yan Jie, right?" The man nodded, but Wang Wei frowned. "The way you hide your original Sword Will is full of flaws." He pointed at him, and the tip of his hands released a blue light. Yan Jie's body instinctively operated in a strange manner, and his disguise drastically improved. Even if his master was here, he might not be able to identify Yan Jie's Sword Aura and Will. "Thank you," Yan Jie said with a flash of surprise in his eyes. "It seems you're as quiet as your teacher," Wang Wei commented. "Anyway, your target is the Myriad Clan Union, the Primarch Origin Temple, and the Limitless Exchange Hall — these three have the highest number of participants, and we can't allow that. Start by killing the weakest members and work your way up. As long as you reduce their number, you don't have to fight their elites unless you wish to." "I understand." "One more thing," Wang Wei added as he released a light into Yan Jie's body. "I have a few loose cultivators under my wind, and I have left a way for you to detect them. If you can encounter them, you can choose to work together." "Very well." Wang Wei waved his hand to dismiss this boring guy. His next focus is on the anomalies he noticed during the entrance: 'No need to worry about them since they will be easier to deal with once I'm a Paragon. In that case, let's focus on domestic trouble.' His shadow morphed into Red Mask. "Lord, what's your order?" "There should be a few spies amongst the loose cultivators. I'll transmit a list of suspicious individuals, and you can start from there." "What is my objective? Killing? Apprehension? Or Information Gathering?" Red Mask asked. "Your primary objective is to gather information. From there, you can decide what to do next." "It will be done," Red Mask declared before dissipating from the shadows. Wang Wei took his token and received the information inside, which was primarily about the prices and rules of the towers. The lowest service was 1000 points; the best usually went for 100,000. 'The first spot has too many powers, so I must take it,' Wang Wei thought. As soon as he knew the first spot could use the Tribulation and Life Tower simultaneously, he knew he had to have this spot since the Immeasurable Tribulation was crucial for his plan. "Let's pick a name first," Wang Wei muttered before indicating to the token that his chosen name was the [Yin-Yang Plum Daoist]. Then, he no longer hesitated before flying to the first hunting area. Far in the distance, a man with red skin locked his gaze on Wang Wei's mountain. As soon as he flew out, the red-skinned man almost lost control of his killing intent. "Are you finally out, coward? Good, I can finally have my revenge." He flew after Wang Wei, but mid his fight, he started talking to himself: "What do you mean to wait? He's right here." "Are you doubting my strength? Don't worry, I've been planning those for too long, and with your help, I cannot lose. We will skin this bastard alive and use his bones to make soup." "You say you don't doubt me, but your words say otherwise." "But he's so close. I only need a few minutes, and we will be free from our torment." "I'm not being stubborn, it's just—" "Alright, you're right — as always." "It will indeed be more satisfying to crush him with absolute force after becoming a Paragon. We might even see him beg for mercy." "Don't worry, I'm not mad. Anyway, I've waited so long and can bear a few more years." The red-skinned man changed his destination and no longer followed Wang Wei. However, the determination to kill has not abated in the slightest. On the contrary, it has grown deeper, like a root with an abundance of nutrients. 'He's no longer following me?' Wang Wei thought. 'Interesting. I didn't think he could control his killing intent.' He did not pay attention to this man and continued his journey. He noticed one more eye on him, and it was Grand Dao Son; it appeared the latter was also starting his hunt. Oddly though, the man only briefly glanced at Wang Wei before continuing what he was doing. 'Things are getting even more interesting,' Wang Wei thought.
