Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor
Chapter 33.4: The Final Trial: Despair Part 4On his two hundred fiftieth attempt, a burst of madness enveloped Wang Wei. In order to win against the Wrath of Heaven, he set up a massive formation that surrounded the whole world, then used the world as a massive bomb against the Gigantic hand.
Afterward, only Wang Wei and his parents remained intact and alive floating in the endless Void of the Universe. However, this fact did not remain true for long. The world bomb did not stop the gigantic hand, heck it did not even hurt. Soon afterward, the Wrath of Heaven killed Wang Wei and his family.
In his five hundred eighty-seventh attempt, Wang Wei once again established a supreme religion that engulfed the entire world. However, the God that the people worshiped was not him, but the Supreme Gigantic Hand.
In this attempt, Wang Wei placed himself in the role of servant and lauded the might and glory of the Wrath of Heaven. In desperation, Wang Wei had no choice but to humble himself in front of the big hand and see if he could spare him--or at least spare his family.
Unfortunately for him, his louche or shady action did not bring him the desired effect. The Wrath of Heaven still squashed him and his family into meat paste.
Following this failure, Wang Wei became angry out of shame and fought more fiercely than ever against the big hand.
On his one thousand two hundredth attempt, he used the blood, flesh, and soul of all the people in the world to cast a powerful curse on the gigantic hand. This attempt did provide him with some success.
The powerful curse managed to dramatically weaken the Wrath of Heaven, which in turn allowed Wang Wei to put on a slightly decent fight. However, the result was still the same, death and destruction.
In the two thousand seven hundred and twenty-ninth attempt, Wang Wei tried another drastic attempt. When the Wrath of Heaven came to him, he did not fight head on. Instead, he kept dodging its attack. Their fight continued throughout the world, which resulted in the destruction of the world and extinction of all life.
This was of course Wang Wei’s plan. After the Wrath of Heaven destroyed the world and the people living in it, Wang Wei used a Dao of Karma technique to initiate a karmic backlash against the gigantic hand. With the cause and effect of destroying the world, the grievances of billions of lives severely weaken the gigantic hand--even more than the previous curse. Unfortunately, he still failed and died.
In his five thousandth attempt, a deep despair overwhelmed Wang Wei when he realized that in all of his fights, he never managed to wound his opponent. He weakened it on many occasions, he fought with it to a standstill countless times for a long duration of time. However, he never managed to properly wound it. Wang Wei never saw the gigantic hand bleed even once.
With such lingering thoughts, Wang Wei considered stopping the trial. At this period of time, he was the only person who kept on persisting. Both the First Contemporary Sacred Son and Li Jun had stopped after more than two thousand attempts, only he kept on going.
At this point of time, Wang Wei realized that there might be no way to actually win this fight. The design of this trial is the despair of having an undefeatable enemy. The point that the Elders were trying to teach them is to always insist and keep on fighting to the last breath. And during the process, temper the will and the heart as much as possible.
So Wang Wei asked himself: "Was his will and heart tempered during this trial?"
The answer is of course "Yes". During the past 5000 attempts, he had experienced countless suffering and deaths. Furthermore, he had learned a great deal of things and experienced many wonders of the world. Although this trial is a fantasy world and many of the things he did were actually not feasible in the real world, many of his experiences and knowledge that he acquired were actually quite real and useful. Especially those scriptures scattered all over the illusory world.
In fact, the training of Aristocratic families like him is actually quite rigid and severe. Do not look at novels in his previous life and see a bunch of Young Masters who are either unskilled or unlearned, yet they are the heir of their family with powerful cultivation.
In fact, this is impossible, or at least in this world, it is impossible. Children like Wang Wei and Li Jun, or even the Branch family have to learn a great deal of things at a young age.
They have to learn proper etiquette, mannerism, speech, literature, poetry, calligraphy, and Go. Additionally, they have to learn all kinds of sculptures that contain the laws and truth of Heaven and Earth, of the Vast Universe.
These scriptures were the accumulation of countless sages and powerful cultivators throughout the inception of the Dao Opening Sect. In fact, many of the scriptures were written by the Great Emperors of the sect, as a way to enrich the foundation of the later generation.
These children could not understand the majority of the content of these scriptures, even Wang Wei could not fully understand some of them despite his heaven defying understanding that his powerful soul provided him with. However, even if they could not understand them, they still have to memorize them.
The same fact goes to the disciples of the sects. Although their training was not as strict as the family children--unless they were the direct disciples of some powerful elders-- they still had to read those boring scriptures.
The reason for this is a form of enlightening of the Dao, a way to form a solid foundation for future cultivation. Many times some cultivators would suddenly become enlightening while doing mundane things or during a fight, which dramatically increase their cultivation levels or break through bottlenecks.
The reason for that is due to the scriptures that they have studied at a young age. They may not understand these words of wisdom when they were young, but once the occasion arrives, the true meaning of these scripture will become clear to them and be the foundation of their enlightenment and understanding the Laws of Heaven and Earth, thus furthering their path of cultivation.
This is one of the main reasons that Heaven Chosen from powerful sects and families dominate the Myriad Emperor World. It’s not just because they have better talents and more powerful cultivation techniques. These scriptures are the foundation that these families and sects have gathered for millions of years.
In this world, there have been countless casual or loose cultivating geniuses, and many have even proven the Dao and proclaimed themselves Great Emperor. These people--who have not formed families and sect-- have also left their legacy scattered all over the world.
As long as someone is predestined, they could acquire these techniques that are not inferior to the Heaven Chosens of the sects and families. However, not all of the lucky people could rise and make a name for themselves.
The reason for that is not just the fact they did not have the same amount of resources from these powerful sects, but because they lack a certain background and foundation. Even if someone acquired a peerless cultivation sutra, if that person could not truly understand it, then it serves no actual purpose. At the very least, it could not bring to tuition its full potential.
As such, the Pagoda trial is more than a tool for Polishing Dao Heart, but a way to secretly train the knowledge and experience of these disciples. Although the cultivation techniques and realm in the Pagoda are not real, the disciples can use them as reference when creating their own techniques--if they have such talent.
At the five thousandth attempt, Wang Wei came to the conclusion that he had learned a great deal of knowledge and experience, and his Dao Heart has been greatly tempered.
However, he kept asking himself: "As he reached his limits?"
