Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 9

Outside the Pagoda, in the clouds.

The Sect Master, Great Elders, and Elders stood there, floating in the air, talking with each other.

"Great Elder Li Jiang, I did not expect your family to have such a potential genius," said one Elder.

Although he was complementing the Great Elder, you could tell from his tone that he was being sarcastic.

Another Elder said: "It seems that your Li family almost missed a Heaven Chosen."

The conversation between the Elders in fact involved the internal contradiction and competition of the Dao Opening Sect.

The Great Elder Li Jiang was in fact in charge of the Hall of Resources. This hall, as the name implies, involved distributing resources to all the disciples and Elders of the sect. Whether it was the distribution of pills, talisman, weapons, or selecting a cultivating cave full of spiritual energy, they all fall in the jurisdiction of the Hall of Resources.

The Li family was in charge of the Hall of Resources for this generation.

As a matter of fact, the Dao Opening Sect is currently divided into four parts: The Wang, Yan, Li family, and the Sectarian side.

The Dao Opening Sect had 9 emperors: 4 from the Wang Family, 2 from the Li Family, 2 from the Yan Family, and 1 from disciples recruited outside of the families.

As a result, there are many contradictions and competition between the four parties.

Li Jun is in fact the Young Master of the Li family and Great Elder Li Jiang is actually his father. However, Li Jun’s life in the Li family is not very well.

There is a Glorious Time coming in the world, and many of the Four Groups have talented people to nurture to represent them in the Grand Stage that is about to come. However, the Li family does not--well at least the Main Branch of the family does not.

Li Jun, as the sole heir of the Li family, was not born extraordinary. Although Li Jun’s talent is good--if he were placed on the lower planes, he would be a heaven defying genius--but, in the Myriad Emperor Plane, in this Glorious Times coming, he is simply insignificant.

As such, his life in the family is quite hard. Although he still receives all the training and resources necessary, he has no status. Even the servants in his house always gave him a cold look.

What’s even worse is that when the kids from the Li Family Branch bullies him, and no one comes forward to stop them except for his mother.

As such, Li Jun’s evaluation in the family is someone that is not worth training. His life only got better after he started hanging out with Wang Wei. So, you could imagine the shock the elders had after seeing his performance in the Pagoda.

Great Elder Li Jiang blushes with shame upon hearing the other’s comments. How would he know his son has such a powerful will?

Although he always feels bad for his son, as the patriarch of the family, he is trained from birth to put the well being of the entire family before the need of the individual, even when it comes to his own blood.

Of course, Li Jiang is not a completely heartless and terrible father. He tried his best otherwise Li Jun would not have received as much resource as he did now.

The Noble families like the Li and Wang are ruthless, they do not raise anyone who has no value.

Back to the Pagoda.

After 8 straight days, Li Jun’s body collapsed in the desert and he was sent out the pagoda.

His body was in fact in perfect shape--as the Pagoda Trials are just powerful illusions. But when Li Jun was sent out, he was still immersed in the trial. As soon as he got out, he started screaming: " Water, water, I need water."

His father, who was in the cloud, instantly appeared before his son and fed him some water. Afterward, Li Jun passed out and was taken away by the Great Elder.
