'Wang Wei is an Outlaw trying to control one of the five hidden Supreme Dao. There is no way for him to survive until the Heaven Will Battle…Unless he passed the trial.'
As soon as these thoughts came to his mind, Di Tian lost his composure and a powerful aura emanated from his body, shaking the entire Heaven Mystery Pavillion.
All the people in the room felt a heavy pressure pressing them down, and all of them with the exception of Old Chu were forced on their knees.
As for the old man, he was wondering why their pavilion suffered so many calamities in just one generation. Could it be that Heaven was finally punishing them for leaking its secrets for so many years?
Meanwhile, Di Tian did not seem to notice his surroundings as he walked back and forth. With each step, the pressure in the surrounding seemed to increase.
'No one has ever passed that trial. Even I failed, how could he?'
Thinking about the trial, he gritted his teeth. This was the beginning of everything: the death of his beloved wife and all the millions of years of suffering.
Many wise men warned him, many Great Emperors warned him, but he did not listen and insisted on going his way. As a genius, he had his own pride and arrogance.
Even if Great Emperors were more powerful than him, he did not think he lost to them in terms of talent or wisdom.
In the end, he lost everything.
Di Tian looked at his hands with blurred eyes before muttering only to himself.
"Maybe if I listened back then, I would not have lost you, Ning'er. My greed is the only thing to blame for all this suffering…No, if I had listened, you might not even exist.
"Or at the very least, you would not be my Ning'er. Although our time together was short, it was worth every single moment."
He remembered all the great memories they had together. The first time he met her. Instantly, he was fascinated by her perfect smile.
He remembered when he taught her how to cook; she burned the food and was very embarrassed. So, she practiced day and night until she became a better cook than him in just a few days.
He remembered how happy she was when she first started cultivating and praised her talent. The first time she made a pill, a talisman, magical weapons, and so on. There has been so many first in their lives, and even after millions of years, he remembered them as if they happened yesterday.
He also remembered the many fights and disagreements they had. Although they were a loving couple, they still had their share of disagreements. Despite this, they still loved one another.
All these beautiful and sad memories flashed across his mind. Then, Di Tian raised his head. His eyes had now turned to his cold and indifference, and his aura under control.
"There is no way I will let you pass that trial so easily. So, let's add wood to the fire," he muttered with terrifying killing intent in his eyes. He has paid too much to become a Great Emperor and no one can stop him.
'Wang Wei should have been the Son of this Era, with the mission not only to create a new Era but also to stop me. However, the moment he decided to cultivate the Dao of Fate, he gave up that title.
'Nevertheless, he is still an individual with tremendous luck, almost like a Son of Destiny. So, killing him will not be easy–especially with a variable like Wu Hong.'
Thinking about Empress Wu, he frowned. No matter what relationship Wu Hong has with her, she will be a problem.
He then finally looked at Old Chu once again.
"I need you to divine one last thing for me again. Once done, I will grant you the Emperor Artifact and help you be recognized as its master."
With a wry smile on his face, Old Chu said: "It's not that I do not want to help, but.." He raised his head in the sky. If it was not the Emperor Artifact, he would have instantly aged and died after that last divination.
Di Tian followed him and he could feel that Heavenly Dao was slowly waking up to release Divine Punishment. The last Divination has touched some taboo, and the entire Heaven Mystery Pavillion was about to pay the price.
"Don't worry about it. I will take care of it."
After saying that, Di Tian glanced at a position. He could feel a terrifying power secretly spying on this place. He guessed that it must have been the Immortal Venerable of the Heaven Mystery Pavillion.
However, he did not care. As the future leader of the Di Family, his backing was great enough to prevent these old monsters from secretly attacking him.
Northern Black Tortoise Continent, Secret Realm:
Wang Wei had just instilled his will and goal into the Good Fortune Flame to enter the Divine Body Realm. Lou Cheng's ideal is to become a great alchemist respected by his master and fellow disciples so that one day, he can be worthy of his third senior sister.
So, after instilling these ideals, he used the flame to temper his skin and entered the Divine Body Realm. Then, he underwent Thunder Tribulations.
As the thunder fell on him, a cauldron with a bunch of materials appeared in front of him. He immediately directed the thunder inside the cauldron and began to refine a pill.
A few minutes later, Wang Wei muttered: "It is indeed possible to use thunder to purify the materials. Maybe even the other elements as well."
A few minutes later, the Thunder Tribulation ended and he took out a yellow pill from the cauldron, flash of lightning could be seen on the surface of the pill.
Without hesitation, he swallowed the pill. Thunder appeared on his skin as to tempered it, along with the Good Fortunate Pill.
"It seems that my recipe succeeded. I will call this pill Thunder Skin Refinement Pill…Okay, I admit I'm not good at naming things. Anyway, it does not matter since I'm already perfect in every other way."
After stroking his ego, Wang Wei began to plan on how to use the Divine Punishment Thunder sealed inside his body to refine the Thunder Skin Refinement Pill.
With his current fleshly body, few things can actually improve help temper it. And this problem will become more prominent after he opened his Acupoints and reached completion of the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture].
This is one of the reasons he was so excited about the method that Wu Hong gave him.
Wang Wei had a feeling that there was a big secret behind the ancient desolate scripture. And once he discovers that secret, he had a feeling that he would not like it.
While he was in deep thought, he suddenly felt everything around him shake, To be precise, it was the entire secret realm that was shaking.
"What's going on?"
Wang Wei was not the only one asking this question. The clone that was cultivating on the core mountain suddenly opened his eyes as well. He looked around and discovered that everyone was surprised at the sudden change, and no one could explain the phenomenon.
Immediately, the clone noticed something and looked at the formations on the mountain. He could see that runes in these formations suddenly dim as if losing the power behind them.
'Could it be?'
For the first time since coming here, he attacked the formation.
Bang!
With a slight punch, the powerful formation that required at least 3 True Monarchs to break was easily shattered by him. The clone frowned as he looked at the other factions near him.
Just like him, they realized that all the formation had weakened. So, they became more enthusiastic. With the sudden change, the speed at which these factions broke the formation drastically changed.
In that way, it would not take long before they could reach the core of this secret realm.
The clone just smiled after seeing this as he gazed at Liu Meixiu that was in front of everyone. Then, he returned to his enlightenment of formation.
Although he was wondering the reason for such a sudden change, it did not change the overall situation.
Meanwhile, in another secret realm, Huo Fenghuang suddenly opened her eyes. A powerful aura suddenly emanated on her body. It took her a few seconds to control her strength.
She then looked at the empty pool in front of her and muttered: "With the innate energy gone, there is no longer any force powering the formations at the entrance. So, these people should be able to enter at a faster pace. I need to hurry up."
She proceeded to contact her Dao Protectors.
"What do you need, young lady?"
"You guys need to start setting up the formation."
"Young lady, did you succeed?"
"Yes."
"Good, good, good," said one of the old men that were with her. "Our Huo Clan will have another Emperor in this generation."
"What about the Tribulation? Young Lady, do you want to wait until you return to the clan?" asked another person.
Because the ancient clans cultivated a different system, Heavenly Dao is especially harsh on them when it comes to tribulation, making it very difficult to survive.
So, a lot of preparation is usually required during the process.
"There is no need. I will use Heavenly Tribulation to further temper my body and True Spirit."
The True Monarchs' eyes lit up after hearing this; they understood that their young lady was not the same as before.
