Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor-Chapter 1455 Invitation

"So, it's meaningless?" Xu Shi asked.

"Not necessarily," Kong answered. "My view is we should at least enter the taboo realm at least once, and after reaching that level, there may be a way to make up for it." "I see."

"So, what do you think we should do?" Lin Fan asked.

"You can follow your own path," Kong said. "Lin Fan can continue his spring to the Paragon Realm, and Xu Shi can start planning for her battle taboo."

"But master, we don't have the information on how to do it."

Kong was momentarily quiet: "With my current realm, I can probably deduce the truth, but it would take a while, so it would be best to ask someone else."

They both sighed before Xu Shi uttered: "I'll contact Wang Wei."

"Master, what exactly is your plan?" Lin Fan asked. He knew of his master's temperament, so it was odd for him to rush to the Paragon Realm at all costs.

"You will know in due time," Kong replied. "By the way, where is my son?"

"Brother Bai is still hunting."

"Keep an eye on him, and don't let him do anything stupid," Kong warned. He forbade his son from experiencing the Immeasurable Tribulation. Bai Han is not like his two disciples, who are blessed with immense, unique destinies and talents, meaning his chances of passing the tribulation after such a short period in the Empyrean Realm were slim. So, he planned to train him to the peak of the Empyrean Realm and get an entrance token to return to the trial once he was truly ready.

"Is there anything else?"

"No."

"Be careful," Emperor Kong warned them before ending the conversation, leaving the couple alone.

"Are you sure you're not going to regret your decision?" Xu Shi asked.

"Maybe I will in the future, but for now, I'm willing to accept whatever consequences await."

"Very well," Xu Shi said before kissing him on the cheek. She walked to the room next door to contact Wang Wei. She had noticed his decision was not simply due to a desire for power; there was obviously something more at play, but since he hasn't brought it up, she'll wait until he's ready to talk about it.

…

Wang Wei ended his conversation with Xu Shi. "Another one has awakened," he muttered. First was Xiao Tiandi and Xun Junyao, and now Xu Shi came along. He hoped more of his peers would realize the same, but he would not remind them himself.

'Alright, time for a short retreat,' Wang Wei thought. He closed his eyes, and 500 years passed. His cultivation reached the Fourth Heaven or 94%. 'This trial's spirits are greater vampires than I could ever dream of,' he complained. He acquired many points, but they only allowed him to increase his cultivation by 1%.

"Tower spirit, are you there?"

"Hmm? Are you calling me?"

A small humanoid spirit in scholarly clothes, sitting on a large, opened book twice his size, appeared before him.

"Yes."

"Normally, we don't respond to participants unless it's really urgent or something special has occurred, but it seems you're one of our high-value targets. So, what can I do for you?"

Wang Wei's lips twitched. He exhaled to control himself. "Is there any way you could make a Refining Tower? I would like to refine an artifact at the fastest speed possible."

"A tower to refine weapons and other stuff?" A glint flashed in the spirit's eyes. "What a great idea! Now that many Paragons will be competing in the trial, a Refining Tower is an excellent idea." The Dao Spirit immediately started to dissipate.

"Wait."

"Is there any else?" he asked in annoyance.

"Since it's my idea, can't you give me some credit? Give me a reward or a discount — give me something."

"You have a point," The Dao Spirit uttered as he rested his head on his palm. "How about a 5% discount on your next tower? No, 5% is too much. 1%? That's too little. I know — a 2% discount. How about it?"

"2% is too little. Give me at least 20%."

"2% — take it or leave it," the Dao Spirit said lazily, making Wang Wei's twitch even more.

'How cheap are these guys?' he complained internally. "Fine."

"Excellent." The spirit released a light that entered his token before disappearing. Wang Wei shook his head before teleporting home. He immediately sensed a profound connection with someone and activated it. A shadowy figure soon grew out of his own shadow.

"You're healed."

"Yes, my Lord," Red Mask replied while kneeling on one knee.

"And your strength?"

"I'm officially a Paragon and can borrow your strength for a short period."

"So, same as usual," Wang Wei nodded. "Let's get to work." He sat on his futon while Red Mask handed him a talisman with detailed information about what occurred in the last five hundred years. A few things caught Wang Wei's attention, including Tian Xuan and Emperor Kong becoming Inextinguishable Paragons.

"Yan Jie was hurt?"

"Yes, he was attacked by a Chaos World called the Metal Supremacy World."

"Is Metal Dao the primary Dao of that world?" Wang Wei asked.

"No, it's the second most cultivated Dao — the first is Weapon Dao."

"Oh?"

"More importantly, they despised Sword and Saber cultivators," Red Mask continued. "Yan Jie was not the only one attacked: Jian Wushuang, Ji Lanfang, the Golden Sword Emperor, and everyone from the Sword Path League."

"A battle of destiny between Weapon Dao? How interesting!" Wang Wei commented. He continued reading the information and soon finished everything. "Your next task is to prepare for the spread of the Fate Shadow Guards to these participants' world. Here is what you need to do." He handed her a set of instructions before dismissing her.

His next goal was straightforward: hunt enough points to reach the Fifth Heaven and refine the artifact for Tian Xuan. As for his Proving Dao Artifact? Wang Wei had to admit he did not care that much. His mindset is similar to that of many cultivators in the Eternal Ascension World who don't like relying on external objects.

That's why he rarely, if ever, used his Proving Dao Artifact — unless for a Grand Dao boost. Of course, he won't abandon the thing. If used correctly, it can be a trump card to reverse a dangerous situation, so Wang Wei will wait until he's back home to add the finishing touch. The artifact had already been tempered and nourished during his ascension, so he only needed to fuse some rare materials to raise it to a higher level.

Wang Wei left his mountain to hunt. However, less than five years into the process, he received an invitation from Mongkee for a meeting, and the latter heavily implied an important guest wanted to see him. Although slightly confused, Wang Wei headed to Mongke's temple in the Safet Zone.

As Wang Wei walked to the room with numerous signs of life, he heard a booming and confident voice.

"Mu Lei, right? It appeared you started with the [Giantification Path] and changed into the [World Body Path]. Your body has been well-tempered, your foundation is solid, and your spirit and willpower meet the requirements. However, there is nothing unique about you. You can be an ordinary member if you accept my invitation."

"If I remember correctly, Mongke introduced you as Yin Ge, right? Let's see—the [Yin Qi Path]. Better yet, an extreme Yin Qi Path that reverted to the Extreme Yang Path. Your body is tempered to the extreme, and your spirit and willpower are amongst the best I've seen. The most crucial part is you're an extremely pure body refiner.

"Hmm, not bad. Your only flaw is that there are too many hidden dangers in your body because of the extreme methods you used to temper it, but that's nothing the right resources cannot fix. Talents like you are what the mansion looks forward to, so you can start as an Inner Disciple. No, I like you, so let's give you some better treatment and start as an Elite Disciple."

"I'll think about it," Yin Gen said calmly.

"It's up to you," the voice said. "And you are Su Dandan? What a beautiful lady. Wow, not a single reaction. Alright, let's take a look. Hmm? [Blood Qi Path]? I can't believe some people still have the patience to take that ancient path. How intriguing!

"Your foundation is solid, and the same can be said about your spirit and willpower. Although nothing extraordinary, your patience and meticulous nature of walking the [Blood Qi Path] are valued by our mansion. I think Uncle Yang Heart will like you. Your life will be set if you can get his appreciation and become his disciple. If not, you can start as an Inner Disciple."

"I understand," Su Dandan responded calmly.

"By the way, do you want to be my 1,234,876th concubine?...No? How about my 12574th Noble Concubine? Is that too low? Hmm, you barely meet the requirement to be my 246th Imperial Concubine. That doesn't even satisfy you? Unfortunately, I'm only allowed 13 wives, and I've already got 9 of them, and you don't meet the requirements to be my wife."

Su Dandan just stared at him.

"Unfortunately. It seems we are not fated for each other — what a shame," the voice continued. "Well, this should be everyone except the peeper. Why don't you show up?"

Wang Wei walked into the room, looking at this nearly three meters man with tight martial clothes with short sleeves that displayed his bulging muscles, short hair, a handsome face with a scar over his left eye, blue hair, a gentle but confident smile, and golden earrings.

"You are?"
