Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 56

After bandaging his arm, Wang Wei started thinking about his next course of action. In fact, he was not too worried about his fight against Ji Song. There are too many ways he could win this fight.

He could meet up with Li Jun and ganged up on Ji Song, he could lay hundreds of traps and trick him into them, he could even use poison to weaken him. During the past years, Wang Wei had learned from his mother when to fight head on and when to use wisdom to win a fight.

The only reason he insisted on fighting with him head on and one to one is because he wants to challenge his limits. The majority of people in the Spirit Road Trial are regular mortals when it comes to strength, as such, they are forced to use superb techniques to make up for the lack of physical prowess.

Only Ji Song did not fit into this category. As such, Wang Wei wanted to fight him and see how much he has improved since the beginning of the trial. Furthermore, Wang Wei had a lingering feeling that if he won this fight just and honorably, then something special will happen to him; something important will be given to him.

He does not know where this feeling came from and what will happen, but he knows that his feeling is right. As such, he plans to follow it and see the result.

Wang Wei then focused intensely on his finger and a ring randomly appeared on his ring finger: it was his space ring.

As this space ring was a soul-bind treasure, he could carry it everywhere with it. This was one of the "loopholes" of the Spirit Road Trial, however, there was still one restriction: this magical treasure could not be taken out in the first half of the trial.

As the Spirit Road Trial was technically under the jurisdiction of Heavenly Dao, no one dares to break its rules, not even the Dao Opening Sect.

That is the reason that Wang Wei had to make daggers out of stone or use the environment around to make things necessary for survival while he had a space ring full of food and weapons.

Of course, another restriction was that the weapons smuggled in could not be too powerful, otherwise they will be immediately sealed.

In fact this restriction also applies to treasure discovered in the secret realm during the trial. Even if a participant was lucky enough to acquire a Holy or Supreme Weapon, it would be in a sealed state.

Nevertheless, treasures like swords, sabers, or spears are still quite valuable even in a sealed state. The sharpness and indestructible nature of these weapons are enough to give any participants a great advantage in combat.

Wang Wei looked inside the space ring and took out three paper talismans. He made sure that the talismans were still working properly as they are the main material for the next plan.

However, a few breaths after taking out the talismans, Wang Wei noticed a gaze coming out over his head and scanned the talisman over, then disappeared. He knew this must be the safety mechanism left by Heavenly Dao to ensure the rules are followed.

For example, if those three talismans were powerful attack ones, they would be immediately sealed and there would be nothing Wang Wei could do about it. Thinking about this, Wang Wei felt quite unpleasant for his powerlessness and at the very idea of Heavenly Dao itself.

Having someone over your head and telling what you can and cannot do is a very unpleasant thing for someone like him who pursued the path of freedom. However, he still has to put up with it now. At least for now...

After checking that everything was in place, Wang Wei began to rest in order to heal the arrow wound on his left arm.

Meanwhile, in the Southern Domain, Ji Song was trekking towards the Northeast Domain to meet with the young master of the Dao Opening Sect.

While he was walking, Ji Song started thinking to himself. "According to the royal elder brother, the Ancient Desolate Emperor--who created the Ancient Desolate Bodyrefining Scripture--must have left something important in a secret realm in the Spirit Road Trial."

"In order to acquire that thing, the Dao Opening Sect needed the blood of someone with the Heavy Axe Physique to open the secret realm. As such, they released the news as bait to attract me. Most likely, there is a trap waiting for me there."

Thinking of this, JI Song sneered at this. With his powerful strength compared to Body Refining Realm 2nd-Layer, he did not fear anyone.

Suddenly, Ji Song started thinking about the humiliation he suffered in the Polishing Dao Heart Pagoda. The young master of the Dao Opening Sect crushed all of his records in that damn Pagoda; he had never suffered such failure in his whole life.
