Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

In fact, there is a reason for Wang Wei to spend a whole two months on this trial, and it was not because of his failure due to betrayal of his ”love of his life”.

After the first failure, he immediately went back on the trial and this time, things went quite smoothly.

Upon entering, Wang Wei sent a decree to the harem to forbid anyone from using charm technique otherwise they would suffer the consequences.

And Wang Wei did just that. Anyone of his beautiful harem who tried to use charm technique on him would have their head beheaded directly by him.

After stabilizing the internal trouble of the empire, he went on an expedition with his army. When encountering all these women who played with emotion, he would ignore them or offer them to his loyal officer for their merit to the empire.

As for the ones who actually help him, he would offer them land, money, or nobility title as a way to repay the karma he had forged with them.

When encountering his ideal woman again, he played her the same way she played him. After she tried to kill him, he executed her instead, then took over her foundation in the name of taking revenge for her.

When the empire was stabilized, he crowned her the Empress and had her buried in the Royal Tomb. He then dedicated a day for the whole nation to mourn for their Empress and her sacrifice for the empire.

After this part of the trial, Wang Wei learned a great deal of things. After spending so much time in these political games in the court, Wang Wei learned how to hide his emotion on his face and how to remain calm in the face of any situation.

After meeting so many women designed to play with his emotion, Wang Wei learned to distinguish emotions based on micro expression--especially the eyes and mouth--and went as far as developing a skill to notice the subtle soul fluctuation of a person to determine their emotion.

Wang Wei benefited a great deal from this trial, but still did not pass yet. The reason for that was that there was a second part to this trial.

One day, Wang Wei went to seclusion in order to break through to a higher level of martial art. While he was meditating, suddenly a pink cloud of gas rapidly enveloped the whole room without giving him the time to respond.

The pink cloud gas entered his body and immediately began to work. He was suddenly aroused, all his other emotions were suppressed while leaving an unimaginable amount of desire and lust. All he could think about was how to vent all his energy.

Soon, a great number of beauties of his harem entered his seclusion room: they were all without a single garment on them, thus revealing the temptation of their beauty, youth, and vigor.

As soon as those women entered his room, a message was sent to Wang Weiʼs mind: ”If you touch even one of these women, your Primordial Yang will be sucked up and you will die a very miserable death.”

When he heard what entailed the second part of this trial, Wang Wei only had time to think: ”Danm, Iʼm finished,” before he lost consciousness and his body dried up like a 1000 years old mummy, thus was evicted out of the Pagoda for failing the trial.

After being ejected out of the Pagoda, Wang Wei took a moment to adjust his mind and think deeply. He was a little shocked this time because this was not part of his design when he created the Pagoda. Someone else must have the idea of adding this part in the trial.

Wang Wei was not angry due to the fact that someone modified his trial, as a matter of fact, he was quite excited. He was not omnipotent, so itʼs normal to overlook certain things when making plans.

Just like he overlooked the importance of aphrodisiacs. In his past life, aphrodisiacs were not scientifically proven, nor could the efficiency reach such an abnormal level. So, when Wang Wei was making plans for his future, he overlooked them. You know, Wang Wei had already made plans for poison for his future, but he still overlooked aphrodisiacs.

This is the advantage of having a strong background: not only can you have a large amount of resources, but also having people that are wise enough to make up for your own shortcomings. As a result, you will suffer less during your career or goals.

Wang Wei expects that the future trial will not be as smooth as expected and many surprises await him. But he was quite excited for this. Whatʼs the point of knowing everything?

Although Wang Wei is the kind of person who likes to be prepared, he also enjoys the excitement of the unknown. The reason he likes to be prepared is so that he could have a variety of ways to cope with situations when the unexpected happened.

Wang Wei spent more than two months in the second part of the Fourth Pagoda Trial. Everyday, he would be poisoned with a strong aphrodisiac, then fight the temptation with his strong will.

Although he failed many times, with each failure, his will grew stronger until he reached the standard for passing the trial.

Soon after Wang Wei passed the trial, Li Jun followed too.

When Wang Wei heard this news, he was shocked. He knew what kind of pain and suffering he had to endure to pass this trial. As an adult in the body of a child, he already had a firm will after living two lives.

Yet, Li Jun spent almost the same amount of time as him. How could he not be surprised?

After hearing the news, Wang Wei sent someone to get his head maid as she was in charge of gathering information for him.

Soon, she walked in the room and bowed: ”Young Master, you called?”

”Yes, I heard that Li Jun passed the trial, is that true?”

”Yes. Young Master Li Jun did pass the trial a few days after the Young Master.”

Wang Weiʼs brow frowned and looked pensive. Itʼs not that Wang Wei is jealous or arrogant, but that Li Junʼs rate of passing this trial was too quick. Wang Wei began to wonder whether his little brother was like a protagonist and had acquired some encounter that would soon make him rise.

He said: ”Do you have any information?”

The Head maid responded: ”According to the information I received, Young Master Li Jun acquired a large amount of aphrodisiac pills and swallowed them all at once, then locked himself in his room by himself to resist. When Great Elder Li Jiang found him, he was lying on the floor with blood all over his body with a single breath left. The Great Elder had to use a Saint level Rejuvenate Pill to save his life.”

After hearing his maidʼs explanation, Wang Wei understood how Li Jun managed to pass the trial so quickly. Li Jun knew that this trial was his way to change his destiny, so in order to pass the trial quickly, he placed himself in the line between Life and Death to temper his will.

Every cultivator knows that there is a great horror between Life and Death, if one passes this horror, they will get great benefit. If they do not pass, they will die.

Many people know this, but how many people are willing to put their life in danger? But it seems that this fact does not apply to Li Jun.

This guy is truly crazy. In order to pass this test, he even played with his life. However, the results were astonishing. With this gamble, Li Junʼs will was greatly tempered and he managed to pass the trial so quickly.

Furthermore, Li Junʼs cutthroat determination will elevate the sectʼs evaluation of him. Didnʼt you see that the Great elder was willing to use a Saint level pill to save him. Li Jun is just a mortal that has not started cultivating yet, any high grade Profound pill would still heal him, and just an Earth pill was enough to guarantee that his foundation was not damaged.

But the Great elder still used a Saint level pill to heal his injuries. Pills are divided the same way as weapons: Profound, Earth, Heaven, Saint, Supreme, Quasi-Emperor, and Emperor.

Saint Pills are extremely rare, especially the Rejuvenate Pill. The higher the level of the pill, the more energy that it has and the higher the cultivation required to take it. If someone of lower cultivation were to take a Saint pill, the likely outcome is to bust out and die.

But the Rejuvenate Pill was special, the energy in it was tame and could slowly release. As such, even a mortal like Li Jun could still take it. This feature dramatically increases the value of this pill.
