Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1468

1468 The Trial's Resolution

[AN: I noticed a plot hole. Wang Wei and the others could have used the trial to cultivate their secondary Daos, like pill refining or array, to the Paragon Realm. So, one of the rules is they can only use the trial for their primary Dao.]

…

"Why didn't I think of that?" Sir Lu said as he palmed his face. The spirits chose the main mind over the Heaven Cardinal because they felt Fei's all-encompassing goodness and kindness, and they were moved to the point of betraying their Lords. Now, with Wang Wei's reminder, Sir Lu saw hope to save themselves.

"Young cultivator, thank you for your help," Sir Lu said. "But you should leave this place since it's dangerous."

"You don't have to tell me twice," Wang Wei said. "However, remember that what you pay me is not enough for the karma of saving your life."

"I…We understand."

Wang Wei nodded before collapsing the clone's soul and the spirit particle. The real Wang Wei opened his eyes outside the inner core, and he immediately checked his storage dimension.

He first checked the tokens before looking at the other rewards. An illusory tower that resembled the Soul Tower floated in the sky. Wang Wei checked and nodded in satisfaction. Then, his eyes shifted to a glowing green crystal the size of an ostrich egg. As soon as he laid eyes on the crystal, he felt an immense desire to swallow it.

Every cell, tissue, organ, and system of his body screamed the desire to swallow this thing, and it was not just his body. His soul released a desire even more intense than his dream to see his wife — the current version — in a bunny outfit. Wang Wei gulped his saliva.

'If I swallow this thing, my body should reach beyond the peak of Elder Fiendgod Ten Heavens. I may even immediately achieve a Primal Paragon Tier fleshly body. No, that's an understatement. My body might be on par with those pseudo-transcendents, as I called them.'

The temptation was beyond words Wang Wei could describe, but he resisted the urge and controlled himself. Although this thing would allow him instant power, it would be a significant waste since he probably cannot fully absorb the effect.

'I need to think long-term,' Wang Wei reminded himself. 'The best use of this thing is to create an artifact that can convert other energies or powers into the trial's power of nurture,' Wang Wei thought. He still had to look forward to Ma Liqiu's soul energy reward. If he can turn this crystal into the correct artifact, he can use that soul energy to create nurture power that will help him even after becoming Half-Step Transcendent.

Wang Wei calmed down after thinking about the future. Once he builds his Nurturing Artifact, he won't have to worry about the energy needed to open his Fourth Gate and other cultivation in the transcendent realm.

'This nurturing power might also be the key to building my Zerg Army,' Wang Wei thought. This crystal resembled endless possibilities as long as he fully utilized its power. Wang Wei immediately placed countless seals around the crystal to prevent any power from leaking. Although he couldn't sense anything, he did not want to take the risk.

Wang Wei looked in the distance to check on Kong. It appeared their battles had ended, and Kong was the victor. Wang Wei did not say much and looked at the inner core one more time. _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}

'There was no way the Heaven Cardinal said these words without reason. Was it he giving me or the spirits the hint? It seems more like he was talking to me, but why? Is he preparing for his future?' He would not be surprised if the Heaven Cardinal was planning on choosing his side in the confrontation with Grand Dao. At the very least, the latter prepared for Grand Dao's possible failure.

Wang Wei raised his head as his intuition warned him of incoming danger. 'It's time to go." He first killed the kidnapped loose cultivators before entering the River of Time, heading directly to the Eternal Ascension World. Wang Wei was careful since he was once attacked while swimming in this place.

Not long after leaving, countless mighty consciouses descended into the trial, alarming the five transcendents. They immediately stopped these people after guessing their objective. However, a being on par with the five showed up, directly confronting them. Unfortunately, he was alone against five, making his approach useless.

Sir Lu was on the verge of ripping out his hair. The appearance of these Paragons and that entity brought them hope before these five bastards crushed it. A look of despair flashed in his eyes before things suddenly took an unexpected turn.

A bunch of ancient and primordial wills seemed to have awakened, alarming countless powerhouses throughout the Chaos Universes. These primordial spirits of a time long gone cast their gaze on the trial. Ji Liyuan, Old Man Tianji, and the others paused as they sensed these ancient and powerful entities.

They glanced at each other, secretly communicating. They soon realized these were the spirits or thoughts of creatures long dead, meaning their powers were only a fraction of their peak. However, they might suffer if they continue this fight.
