Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 477

Chapter 477: Final Appearance

After entering seclusion, Wang Wei did not immediately break through. He first ensured that the recent rise in cultivation did not affect his foundation. And in the process, he also began to light up the remaining spirit particles.

With many Soul Increasing Pills and the soul strength stored inside his Three Immortal Soul, the process did not take as long as expected. So, in just a few dozens of years, he lit up all 1.269 trillion spirit particles.

And once he finished with that, he condensed his Spirit Flower. The power Ancestor Wucheng left in his body activated to purify Wang Wei's soul, but it could not find any impurities, so it left.

Then, a transparent lotus appeared above his Divine Altar where the [Three Flowers Crown] existed. The lotus contained 12 petals, meaning it was a Grade 1 Spirit Flower.

Then, Wang Wei checked his ability and was quite satisfied with it; it can come in handy–even in this trial.

The Spirit Flower filled in the final spot of the crown. However, the five jewels on it were still dimmed. Luckily, it was not for long. All of Wang Wei-s five Zhang Organs suddenly glow different colors like a rainbow.

Then, each color lit up the five jewels. Once the process ended, Wang Wei felt the crown's power baptizing his entire body, soul, and energy.

His foundation was now more perfect than ever, and he even felt his cultivation and fleshly body talent slightly elevated, not to mention his general strength.

'Is this the state of [Three Flowers Gather on A Crown, Five Qi Towards the Origin]? How fascinating!'

He could feel this secret technique would give him a lot of help in his future cultivation path. So, he nodded in satisfaction.

'Alright, now, let's break through."

As he closed his eyes to cultivate, Wang Wei found himself in his Sea of Consciousness with a table with tea in front of him. And sitting opposite Wang Wei was a pale-looking version of himself with an eerie atmosphere.

"Not happy to see me?" asked the Heart Devil.

"What do you think?"

"Well, it does not matter. If you can leave here intact, this should be the last time we meet."

After entering the Void Shattering Realm, cultivators will still have Heart Demon, but they will not be so obvious and show up in a physical form. Instead, they will show up in the form of constant doubts or a drastic and sudden change in personality.

It is similar to what happened to Wang Wei after killing someone for the first time, but even more severe.

"What do you want to talk about this time?" gestured Wang Wei.

"Oh, so many things, but today's theme is once again your hypocrisy," replied the Heart Devil in a slightly flamboyant voice. "Tell me, why didn't you take Heavenly Dao's deal?"

"What do you mean?"

"After grandma's death, you have personally witnessed what death and departure can do to your remaining family. And yet, when Heavenly Dao showed you a way to pass the trial and live, you rejected it without hesitation: all because of your selfish desire to control one of the Supreme Daos."

The Heart Devil paused momentarily before waving his hand to display a picture: it was one of a beautiful young woman crying in the middle of the night.

'Mom,' thought Wang Wei as he looked at it.

"This poor woman has spent countless nights crying alone, thinking she might lose her son right after losing her mother. What's worse is that there is nothing she could do about it, nothing she can do to help.

"But you can, couldn't you? All you had to do is use an Innate Treasure to use Fate Laws, and all the trial's trouble would have been avoided, and this poor woman does not have to suffer like this."

"I have found a way to pass the trial," gestured Wang Wei with blood-shed eyes. Luckily he could not talk. Otherwise, his voice would be very hoarse right about now.

"But you don't know for sure if it would work or if you will have enough time to succeed. So, why not take the easier and already available method; the method guaranteed to succeed?"

Wang Wei looked in a daze at the crying recording of his mother. After an unknown amount of time, he sighed before shaking his head:

"I have decided to pursue the path of being free and unfettered. And I would rather die than cut off my path forward."

This was why he did not use the other methods that Heavenly Dao showed him. If he did, he knew he would never achieve the ultimate freedom he desired.

"So, you are choosing yourself over your parents? I thought you loved them dearly; how hypocritical."

"I do love them more than anything in the world. And I know they would understand."

"I'm sure this is what you say to yourself so you can sleep peacefully."

"Humans are inherently complex individuals, not to mention cultivators with their god-like powers," wrote Wang Wei as he took a sip of his tea. "So, it is possible to be selfish and love someone else simultaneously.

"I love my parents and would not hesitate to sacrifice my life for them if the situation arrives. However, I also have dreams and ambitions; dreams that I will also not hesitate to place my life on the line for."

"All I'm hearing are excuses," replied the Heart Devil with a sneer.

"Okay, then, let's look at the situation logically. If I did settle and choose survival over my ambitions. Then, what do you think will happen in the future when I'm confronted with the absolute truth that I cannot become free and unfettered?"_{ρ????-???????}
