A few days have passed since the meeting at the True Dragon Inn. Wang Wei spent most of the time visiting the main city of the Academy and attending different lectures from different professors; he greatly enjoyed the courses regarding Alchemy, Array, Talisman, and Weapon Refinement.
Of course during those few days, he also spent a lot of time talking with Wu Hong. After the end of the meeting, they exchanged communication talismans and have spent days talking to each other nonstop.
However, two days before the start of the Heaven Chosen Selection Trial, something happened.
Wang Wei was visiting the city when he decided to visit a special place on a whim. This place was where the Heavenly Dao Protection Book was located or displayed for people to see.
The book was located on an open plaza where people could see it. There was a formation that acted like a see through glass protecting the book.
As for the book itself, it was a very thick golden book that kept flipping on its own. Each time a page was flipped, Wang Wei saw a list with 30 names on them ranked from highest to lowest.
On the last two pages, Wang Wei saw all his family’s name on the book. His grandfather and father were both ranked first on their own pages. His grandfather Yu Zhuang ranked 9th while his grandmother ranked 13th. The two of them were on the same page as his grandfather Wang Chang.
As for his mother, Yu Yan, she was ranked fifth on the same list as Wang Wei’s father. He even saw that Great Elder Yan Mei of the Punishing Hall was ranked sixth, right after his mother.
After the book flipped through all the previous records since the Middle Emperor Era, it turned to a blank page with no names on them, just the ranking.
Wang Wei knew that this was the page that this generation of candidates would place their names in. And he was very confident in placing his name on the first spot, just like his father and grandfather before him did.
After acquiring that spot, Wang Wei will gain access to the 3000 Dao Tablets and comprehend a cultivation scripture that is perfect for his Fate Puppeteer Physique.
While Wang Wei was staring at the Heavenly Dao Protection Book, he suddenly frowned quite deeply. An intense warning of danger once again overcame him, warning him of an incoming danger.
Wang Wei then looked around to see if something was wrong, but he could not find anything. More importantly, what kind of danger would come to him with True Monarch Yan Chen around him.
After pondering for he a second, he thought to himself:
’Could it be that the reason that I feel a sense of danger is because of the idea of putting my name on that book?’
As soon as those thoughts entered Wang Weis mind, his intuition once again activated and the warning intensified. So, he knew that he was right.
However, here came the problem: He did not know what was wrong with that list? Could it be a plot of the Academy?
Knowing that he would not find the answer here, Wang Wei decided to leave here and return to his residence. After entering his own room, he said:
"Supreme Elder, please use your power to isolate the entire room!"
"Yes, young master," replied Yan Chen. Then, a mysterious power enveloped the entire room that Wang Wei was in, essentially separating this room from outside spying eyes and ears.
Immediately following this, Wang Wei took out a bunch of formation flags and set up an array; a communication array to be precise.
Countless circles with strange runes at the center appeared in front of Wang Wei. Then, under his arrangement, they formed a pattern by combining together. Once the set up was completed, he activated the formation.
"Wei’er, is something wrong?" said a holographic image of Wang Wei’s father, Wang Tian.
