Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 47

Inside the meeting place of the Heaven Mystery Pavilion, only the sound of the swaying wind could be heard. The room started to heat up due to the vapor of untouched hot tea slowly evaporating inside the small courtyard.

Pavilion Master Zhu Tai rapidly swallowed his cold tea with trembling hands, then proceeded to take many deep and long breaths.

Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale.

He asked. "Master, did you calculate the reason? And what should our next step of action be?"

"Supreme Elder, we did not offend the Dao Opening Sect and had no enmity with them. Why did they want to destroy us?"

"I did not manage to calculate their reason for taking action against us," said Old Chu. "As for our plan of action, we only have two variable options. First is to ask help from our allies and see if they are willing to help or at least put pressure on the Dao Opening Sect."

"The second option is when the time arrives, try to be as submissive as possible. The Dao Opening Sect must want something from our Pavilion. As long as we give it to them, we might have a chance to survive."

"Master, how long do we have to prepare?"

"About 2-3 years at the very least."

"So, until after the Spirit Road Trial."

A few days passed on quickly. The delegates of the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty have long settled into their accommodation and the talks over the "origin source mine" have officially begun.

Wang Wei never showed up in front of the people of the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty. A fact which was very upsetting to Crown Prince Ji Song as he kept subtly reminding the people around him of the lack of etiquette on the side of the Dao Opening Sect.

Of course, Wang Wei was aware of his presence. With the special power of his eyes, he could easily notice the Qi Luck Dragon of Crown Prince Ji Song. Although his Qi Dragon was only Purple like himself, it exuded a special or unique aura that was easily noticeable.

Soon, Crown Prince Ji Song had things to do since he was notified that he will take part in the First Trial of The Polishing Dao Heart Pagoda.

He took a few days to prepare. He was the kind of person that never backed down from a challenge, and he took it seriously--or so he thought.

On the day of the challenge, many disciples and Elders of the sect accompanied the delegates of the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty to watch the trial.

The disciples were the most excited. They wanted to know how they stack up against the Heaven Chosen of other factions. This was the perfect opportunity to compete and compare.

Ji Song stood in front of the Pagoda, ready to enter at any moment. The Visual Formations were turned on so that everybody can watch what happens inside. On top of the Pagoda, there was a list of the top records in each trial.

Ji Song looked at Wang Wei’s number 1 spot and said with disdain: "Only 13 days, how weak can you be."

After saying that, he strode into the Pagoda with great confidence.

However, his words did provoke a lot of people outside. How can they allow this stranger to look down on their Young Sect Master?

However, the disciples did not do or say anything--especially the ones who have participated in the Trial. They know more than everyone else how difficult this Trial is.

In a platform not far from the Pagoda, the higher ups of both factions sat cross-legged on futons made of silk, served with fresh hot tea.

Sect Master Wang Tian said nonchalantly: "Confident I see. This is good quality."

Prime Minister Zhao Yan responded: "Thank you. The Crown Prince has never lacked anything--especially confidence."

Sect Master Wang Tian and the other Great Elders smiled with a playful look on their faces. However, they did not say anything else.

Ji Su was able to catch on the meaning behind these smiles. As such, he had a feeling that things might not be as simple as it seemed.

However, he soon calmed himself down. He had a great deal of confidence in his younger brother’s Heavy Axe Physique.

Meanwhile, Ji Song was having a hard time in this test.

Upon entering the Trial, the first thing he noticed was the fact that his proud Heavy Axe Physique was gone--or to be precise, ineffective.

All of his Innate Divine Strength that he was proud of are all gone. He frowned, but still continued on with the Trial. He walks in this endless desert supported by his will only.

Ji Song lasted four days before he gave up and exited out the Pagoda. His record was much higher than Han Li on his first trial. But it was way worse than Li Jun’s whopping eight days, or Wang Wei’s 13 days.

The challenge was actually quite lackluster. The record of the crown prince did not come even close to Li Jun, let alone the Young Sect Master. And many people or disciples of the sect were actually quite disappointed. They left afterward and sneered at Ji Song’s previous comment.

The people most disappointed by this result were actually the people of the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty. This was a massive failure on their part.

"Uncle Ji Xiang, I’m thinking about the previous Trial." _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}
