Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

"Should we tell him?" asked the Steward, who suddenly appeared next to Origin One and Sword One.

"No," replied Origin One.

"But we finally see hope. What if he fails because of such a small thing."

"Then he fails," added Sword One, with a calm demeanor. "If he cannot overcome this tribulation, then his destiny is not enough to become an Emperor."

"Isn\'t our existence to protect him from things like this?" he argued, feeling unwilling.

"Our actions will be considered interfering if we told him," added Origin One.

"I\'m sure we can pay the price." The Steward did not want such a legendary character as the sect master to die even though they could have prevented it.

Sword One and Origin One remained quiet for a few seconds. Indeed, Wang Wei\'s recent monumental achievement was worth it for them to take the risk.

"Have you guys forgotten the founders\' two primary teachings," suddenly said Hell Judgment.

"Be cruel when cultivating geniuses and let things take their course," muttered Sword One. Because of these rules, they had to hide the method of condensing the Three Flowers on the Crown and only allow their sect\'s Heaven Chosen to cultivate it after experiencing their Dao Foundation being broken.

And according to the founder, they can artificially create an event that leads to such destruction; this meant these ancestors would have found a way for Wang Tian and Wang Wei to experience having their Dao Foundation broken.

The second teaching was the main reason the Dao Opening Sect is usually low-key when doing things. It\'s also the reason they have not broken the Nine Emperor Curse. Otherwise, if they decided to cultivate an Emperor at all costs, Heavenly Dao would not be able to stop them.

However, Qiyuan warned them about letting destiny take its course regarding certain things. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Judgment is right," said Origin One. "We will not intervene and let him deal with the situation himself."

After dealing with the sect\'s disciples, Wang Wei visited his parents. He saw his father look at him with excitement, pride, satisfaction, and many other emotions.

"You really succeeded?" asked Wang Tian

"I did."

"Good, good, good."

"Who cares about these things," said Yu Yan as she rushed to hold her son. "How are you? Are you still injured? Are you in pain?"

"I\'m fine. Elder Dan fixed me better than ever."

"That\'s good," nodded Yu Yan in relief. Then, she gritted her teeth, "Danm Heavenly Dao. How dare it strike my son?"

"Heavenly Dao?"

"I thought your relationship had improved after becoming an Era Son," added Wang Tian, shaking his head. Wang Wei frowned as he thought of something. He used his Divine Sense to contact his ancestors and secretly read the mind of a few disciples.

\'So, that\'s how it is. The Mortal saw Heavenly Dao, and the Immortals saw True Heavenly Dao. I guess maybe only me and Wu Hong saw Grand Dao.\'

Wang Wei did not think this was a coincidence or that these people could not recognize the eye of Grand Dao. As a near omnipresent being, anyone will immediately recognize Grand Dao after laying eyes on it.

\'Maybe even the Two Suns did not detect its presence,\' thought Wang Wei with envy; he was jealous of Grand Dao\'s power.

\'One day, I\'ll be able to stand toe-to-toe with it and even transcend it.\'

He spent some time with his family before returning to meet his ancestors. Wang Wei wanted to test his power with an Insurgent on par with a Third Class Emperor.

"Are you Supreme Elder Wang Lin?" asked Wang Wei, looking at the elderly man dressed in all black before him. Technically speaking, all the ancestors hold the position or title of Supreme Elder. However, because there were no True Monarchs and Quasi-Emperors in the previous generation, Wang Chong\'s generation became Supreme Elders, and Sword One became Ancestors.

"Sect Master, please," saluted Wang Lin with great respect.

"We will start with 5-Root strength before raising our power to Third Class."

Wang Wei wanted to use this training to get acquainted with his strength. While fighting the tribulation, he discovered he did not have absolute control of his power as he once had.

"As you wish."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Wang Wei fought with all his efforts against Wang Lin, using all his powers to the best of his abilities. During this fight, he rapidly adapted to his newfound strength. He spent the next month constantly fighting and adapting.

"Supreme Elder Wang, what do you think of my power?" asked Wang Wei.

"Your Soul Quantity and Purity reached the Emperor Level. Your Origin Essence was elevated to the level of close to Insurgent Qi. Although your body did not reach the Emperor Level, you can still use the cooperation of Essence, Qi, and Spirit to support high-level battles.

"Finally, your Law reached the level of Dao Ancestor\'s Grand Source Dao."

Dao Ancestors can borrow the power of the Grand Dao Source, so it made sense his Law reached their levels. However, Wang Wei frowned.

"Is there something?" asked Wang Lin.

"No, nothing," replied Wang Wei. "I wonder how you became an Insurgent?" During this month, he tried to figure it out but was unsuccessful

"I had a fortunate encounter and fused my Inner World with a special Chaos Talisman."

"It seems you\'re a man of great fortune."

"Maybe."

Wang Wei did not ask any further since he knew there were too many wonders in this world. "Is your strength only limited to 5% Gran Dao Source?"

"No, I can fight Emperors with 9%."

"You only use 5% in our battle, right?"

"That\'s correct."

"Alright, I want to experience the power of 6%."

Wang Lin immediately hesitated.

"I only want to experience the difference."

"Okay."

Wang Wei gathered all his strength. Furthermore, his state reached its peak.

Bang!

He crashed on the ground, on the verge of death.

"What does this scene look familiar," he muttered with a wry smile. One palm: he lost with one palm. And he could tell the Supreme Elder was not trying to kill him. Otherwise, he would be in a worse situation.

\'The difference one 1% is so vast.\' He sighed.

He activated his regeneration and said, "Let\'s try again. This time, I will use an Emperor Artifact."

With his current strength, he could use more power from the artifact. As such, he barely survived the battle with 6% Grand Dao Source. However, Wang Wei was not happy about this achievement since Wang Lin did not use an Emperor Artifact or any weapons for that matter. Furthermore, the latter was not trying to kill him and had many reservations.

Then, he tried different methods of fighting higher percentages. Wang Wei used more than one Artifact, using the resonance between them to utilize more power. He burned his fleshly body, energy, soul, and life span to increase his battle prowess. He even used his Willpower to the best of his ability.

With all these methods, he gathered enough data on the battle prowess of the Third Class Emperor. Of course, he had to make multiple visits to Elder Dan due to his madness. Luckily, the latter did not mind and seemed excited to heal him.

Finally, Wang Wei left to see his beautiful wife.

"Wife, I\'m home," he yelled.

"Lower your voice," said Wu Hong. "Don\'t you know your current status?"

"Who cares," replied Wang Wei as he embraced her. Wu Hong looked him up and down. "You actually succeeded?"

"I did. But why do you sound like you were not confident in me."

"I knew you would succeed, but I thought your science and technology method would have failed, and you would have to find another way."

Wu Hong was proud of her man and knew he had the intelligence, ingenuity, and resources to succeed in anything he placed his mind to–even if it was something that no one had ever achieved before.

"I had a few plan Bs if this method failed. But now that I think about it, the chances of succeeding were minimal," replied Wang Wei. One of his plans B was to use the Insurgents and an Emperor Formation to access the Grand Dao Source and experience an earlier baptism; he wanted to use the power of the Grand Dao Source to break his limit.

However, a module like the Grand Dao Source is challengingly more strict than a place like the Quantum Realm. So, there is a high chance it would stop him and even lower Divine Punishment.

"Tell me your experience," said Wu Hong. Then, Wang Wei explained to her everything that had occurred. 

"Truly a wonderful experience. The Quantum Realm seemed to have many secrets. It\'s a good idea to keep the world for the future," commented Wu Hong.

"Indeed."

"But you should also be careful. You don\'t know the objective of this Hongjun nor whether his protection will last forever."

"You make another good point," nodded Wang Wei.

"As long as you know. By the way, why do I feel you have some concern about your strength?"

"You caught that? You\'re right," said Wang Wei. "Ever since I made the breakthrough, I felt something was wrong; I felt like I was flawed."

"Flaw? Do you think there is a problem because you used a taboo?"

"No. Maybe \'flawed\' is the wrong word," added Wang Wei as he paused for a moment. "A better way to explain would be, I\'m missing something."

"What are you missing?"

"That\'s the thing: I can\'t think of it. I feel like the answer is on the tip of my tongue, but I cannot think of it."
