Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 438: Beach Episiode: End

Each of the Heaven Chosens created a sand sculpture with different artistic concepts or designs. Once everyone finished, the elders would look at their final creations.

Lin Fanʼs piece was the first. A sand model of himself standing straight while laughing smugly, and underneath his feet was a destroyed river and a broken wheel.

”Chaos reigned supreme, even above fate and reincarnation,” commented one of the True Monarchs before looking at the Dao Opening Sectʼs elders. Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that this work was alluding to Wang Wei and the Di clan heir.

The other people just smiled after watching while Wang Chang snorted coldly before sneering.

The next work to be looked at was Su Ya. Her sand sculpture was that of a young woman bleeding on the floor. However, she raised her hand, trying to ask for help. Fear and determination in her eyes, along with a deep longing for life.

”The desire to survive, an instinct embedded deep in the soul of all living things. Excellent piece of work.”

Jian Wushuangʼs work was only a sword—albeit one that was truly well crafted: the details of the sword made anyone who looked at it wonder whether it was truly made out of sands. The odd part about this sword was that it was one but if you look closer, you could see thousands of them.

No, it was more than that; it was as if there were an endless number of them. With passing seconds, with each look, an infinite amount of swords were being created, then fused into one.

”Infinity condensed into a singularity,” commented Yu Yong. ”This kidʼs Sword Dao might have reached your level.”

Wang Tian only smiled after hearing this but did not say anything. However, he strongly disagreed. He could tell that Jian Wushuangʼs Sword Dao was not as pure as it looked. Instead of using the sword to control the Dao of Infinity, he is using Infinity to control the sword. Meanwhile, Jian Yi—Jian Wushuangʼs master—felt that something was off with his discipleʼs Sword Will, however, he could not pinpoint the exact problem. So, he decided to let the Ancestor check it when he returned to the sect.

Sun Jiaolong sculpted two men fighting, or dying. One was standing up while piercing the heart of another person who was kneeling. However, the man had an incredible look on his face. Upon closer examination, the standing man had a hole in his throat.

As for the man kneeling on the ground, the sword had pierced his chest, and yet, it was only a few millimeters from piercing his heart and killing him. Sun Jiaolong took extra care to carve out the heart and the proximity of the sword.

”Oh, he seems to be changing his main Dao.”

”Yes. The last time at the Academy, he was on the path of the Martial Emperor, and now, he seemed to be walking on the Path of Luck.”

”Well, it makes sense since he has the Human Destiny Sword.”

Thinking about that sword, many of the elders became excited. This sword was too important—especially since it might be the key to the Great Qin Dynasty treasury. As the only dynasty that managed to rule the entire Myriad Emperor World, many people could not fathom what was inside. Plus, there is a high chance that the Human Emperor left his inheritance inside.

As such, many people have been salivating about that sword for many years now. And there are only two reasons that Sun Jiaolong and the Great Wu Dynasty still kept it.

The first one was Sun Jiaolongʼs previous immortality and the established rule that the older generation should not intervene with younger ones. Of course, not everyone followed that rule—especially the devil cultivators.

Because of this, ever since there have been rumors that Sun Jiaolong had the sword, he faced countless assassination attempts. Amongst all the Heaven Chosen, he held the title for the most assassination attempts in his life.

Now that Sun Jiaolong was in the Primordial Spirit Realm and no longer immortal, he was also now a fat sheep. As long as the younger generation can take the sword from him, the agreement will not be broken.

The Sword was too important. Even without the existence of the treasury, it was still of great value. Any sect that has possession of it will forever be protected by the Luck or Destiny of the Human Race. So, as long as the human race is the protagonist of Heaven and Earth in the Myriad Emperor World, said sect will never be destroyed.

By this time, only two people were left: Wang Wei and Zhen Biyu. The others were not interested in this competition. Fang Lijuan was acting all snobbish, Zang Xuan seemed distracted about something, and Huang Yuan did not have any interest.

His whole demeanor screamed that this competition was childish and served no purpose.

Hugo Fenghuang seemed very annoyed. Based on her facial expressions, she appeared as though she wanted to slap her companion—Yi Bu— to death.

As for Mo Xingyun? She flirted with Zang Xuan, not afraid to display her charm, and used her outfit to her benefit. However, there was an undisguised thirst in her eyes. As for whether this was done on purpose or she could not control herself, only she knew the answer to that.

Zhen Biyuʼs sand sculpture was representative of the five elements. It was a small village with a river in the north, a forest in the east, and a mountain in the west. Some of the villagers were mining ores near the mountains, some were farming, and some were creating swords or other weapons through blacksmiths.

The temperature appeared to be very hot as even the standing or inactive villagers had beads of sweat on their foreheads.

Although it appeared simple that was only on the surface.

”The five elements are considered the foundation of all matter in the universe,” commented one of the elders. ” And controlling them is to be able to create and control all matters in existence.”

”There is a reason that the Dao of Five Elements is one of the main Grand Daos.”

The final art piece to be judged was Wang Wei. However, many people found his sculpture to be weird. It was essentially sand sculptures of all the Heaven Chosens attending this party. They all sat at a table, talking and laughing as if they were the best of friends. He managed to catch not only the physical appearance but also their essence quite deeply.

”Interesting concept.”

”Quite naive, I think.”

”Not naive but hopeful.”

The whole concept of this sculpture was that all of them had complete control of their fate. Not letting Heavenly Dao and the Heaven Will Battle dictate their lives and relationships; to be free of all restraints.

ʼSomething is odd about this sculpture,ʼ thought Lin Fan. However, after checking it thoroughly, he did not find anything.

ʼMaybe Iʼm being too cautious.ʼ

After that, the elders gathered together to judge the winner. In the end, because most people were biased towards their Heaven Chosens, they decided that a winner was not necessary to ruin the good atmosphere of this unique gathering.

People were not happy about this but did complain, not wanting to come up as rude to their elders.

After the sand sculpting competition was the beach volley matches. The rules were set that no powers were to be used during this fun game. However, it was discovered that Su Ya was secretly affecting her opponentʼs mind to give her an advantage.

The others became furious and a real battle almost broke out. Luckily, the elders once again interfered and prevented things from going out of control.

The party lasted for 3 days straight. And each day, the ladies appeared to wear a different bikini design, while the guys changed the color of their shirts or pants.

There were many other events planned. And the most well-received among them was surfing. Wang Wei made sure that the formations he placed in the ocean would create these encouraging waves to challenge these powerful cultivators.

He also placed many Sea Race creatures to intercept them, and they had to rely solely on their surfing skill to evade, thus enhancing the overall experience.

In these 3 days, due to consuming a large amount of alcohol, these Heaven Chosens almost came close to fighting each other for real. In the end, they were usually separated and laughed out loud as if nothing happened.

Then, everybody left.

Wang Wei watched the last Void Boat flying into the distance.

”Your plan was a great success,” said Wu Hong next to him.

”Indeed.”

The entire reason he planned all this was not to experience a modern experience from his past life, nor was it the obvious explanation to observe and gather knowledge about his opponent.

His real purpose was to secretly place Invisible Karma Threads on his peers to be used later in the Heaven Will Battle. Normal Karma Threads are easy to set but also easy to be detected.

For example, he could have made the drinks and sauna service of this party free, then, used this causality to make these people owe him Karma. However, such a thread is too easily noticeable–even by people who do not have any understanding of the Laws of Karma.

As such, to cast his invisible thread, he took a page out of Di Tianʼs playback. He distracted the people from his real objective, then used a combination of the formation on the beach and a form of a ceremonial spell.

The weird sand sculpture he made was the final part of this ceremony. The sculpture was not about being free from fate, but the Karmic connection between all of them: it was the final part for that spell to work.

To cast this spell, Wang Wei even used his Innate Talent to place restrictions on these peopleʼs natural intuition.

Even so, some problems almost occurred. Huo Fenghuang seemed to have some powerful eye technique to see the truth of the world, so he had to be careful. Plus, her intuition was even more heightened than the others. The reason she was annoyed was not because of her companion. It was because she instinctively felt that something was wrong but could not detect why. So, Wang Wei has to concentrate on her.

The final obstacle was Lin Fan. As a person who understands the Laws of Karma, the current Wang Wei couldnʼt place an invisible thread on him.

Even if he was more powerful than him, it did not change the fact that he is not able to use the law yet.

At first, he was prepared to remove Lin Fan from the list of people to place the thread on, then he just shamelessly asked Wu Hong to help him. So, she placed a seal on his ability to see or detect that thread.

As he looked at these invisible threads, a smile appeared on Wang Weiʼs face. With these threads, he will be able to do a lot of things.
