Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 194: Invitation

After Wang Wei finished thinking about the strange words of the beggar, he realized that many people had surrounded him. From their uniforms, he could tell that they were the Academy’s staff.

Well, it made sense that they would appear here after sensing the aura of a Saint. One person—who seemed to be the leader of the group approached Wang Wei before saying, "Sacred Son, we have been waiting for you." This person did seem to care about the beggar. No, to be precise, he seemed to be already aware of his existence.

Wang Wei looked at the person who spoke to him. He could easily sense that this person was also a Saint and that he was not pleased to wait for him. And it was not just him, all the people who came together with this teacher had similar attitudes. However, this people easily displayed their emotions on their faces.

Nevertheless, Wang Wei did not care. The Academy could have started the main event without him; the reason that they did not do so was because they needed his presence to draw attention and prestige to the world.

Despite this, Wang Wei did not show any kind of arrogance in front of this teacher. As a former king, he knew how political games worked, so he just smiled calmly, "I apologize for my tardiness. It’s just that this city was so breathtaking that I could not help but be mesmerized by it."

As soon as Wang Wei said that, many of the other people removed the annoyance on their faces and thought that he was more pleasing to the eye. After all, the only reason that this famous Sacred Son was late was due to the beauty of their Academy’s city. So, they showed a look of pride and satisfaction on their faces.

As for the True Person teacher, he secretly sighed as he could tell what Wang Wei did. With just a few empty compliments, he turned the unfavorable views that these people had about him around. He sighed at this kind of emotional manipulation.

’Our True Disciple Lin Fan has a lot to learn if he wants to catch up to these Heaven Chosens,’ secretly thought the teacher.

"Well, it is our honor that this city satisfied your needs. However, if you do mind, I am here to escort you to the main area."

Wang Wei nodded before following this escort group. They flew to a specific designation. Wang Wei knew that the Academy City was divided into different areas. The place he met the beggar was just the outer area, which is accessible to anyone who wishes to visit.

This area is mainly used for trading and served as the housing area for the students’ families. According to the Academy’s rule, the students are only allowed to bring a few family members with them. Of Course there are a few exceptions.

The place that Wang Wei was headed was a teleportation array. The city was so vast that he needed it to navigate quickly.

After a few teleportations, Wang Wei and the group arrived on a plain. In front of him, he could see another vast city with many buildings and people moving around. However, he felt that something was wrong with this city.

It seemed to be unreal, an illusion. So he closely observed for a few seconds before asking, "Is this a Void Mirage?"

"Very keen observation, Sacred Son. The real Academy is located in a secret space isolated by the outside world. However, a void mirage was used to cover the fact from the general public, and it was also set as a form of defense."

After saying that, the teacher handed Wang Wei a token, explaining to him that he needed this token in order to enter the secret space. Of course another token was given to Yan Chen that was secretly protecting Wang Wei, otherwise he would have to forcibly break through and alert all the higher ups of the Academy.

After activating the token, Wang Weil felt like he just passed through a thick water cover or filter. Then, the Heaven and Earth seemed to have changed; it was like he was transported from one world to another.

Immediately afterward, Wang Wei found himself floating in the sky, looking at everything below him. He saw vast stretches of lands, forests and mountains scattered everywhere, and a beautiful city in the middle of everything. Right at the center of this city, was a tall, grand, mighty, and majestic golden building with the words "Emperor Enlightenment Academy" written on it.

Wang Wei easily noticed that this particular writing has a special Dao Rhyme inserted on it—signifying that whoever wrote it was very powerful and had a deep understanding of the Dao.

Wang Wei wanted to spend some time touring this city, however his escort did not give him the chance. They brought him straight to his residence, which was shared with the other member of the Dao Opening Sect that arrived earlier.

So, with a speechless look on his face, Wang Wei entered his residence to reunite with his group. Then, they had one of their usual meetings.

"Where is Tie Gang?" asked Wang Wei as soon as he noticed his absence.

"He became enlightened after your talk with him 5 years ago and has been in seclusion in order to create a method to train his Undying Army," replied Yan Liling.

"Is that so? Well, what else have I missed?"

Li Jun instantly became excited after hearing this, then he began to narrate his experience:

"Big brother, you should have been here a few months ago for the opening ceremony. All the Heaven Chosens decided to use the grandest mode of entrance they could think of.

"For example, Lin Fan arrived in a chariot followed by hundred of beautiful women. Ji Song had an army of powerful demonic beasts carrying his carriage. He even had a Golden Roc leading the army of demonic beasts. I can’t believe that he actually tamed a Demon Race with Imperial Bloodline.

"And this was not all of it. Su Ya was carried on a throne made of humans. You should have seen it. When she walks off her throne, people will bend down on their hands and knees in order to create a path for her to step on."

Wang Wei was again speechless for the second time today. However, Li Jim did not finish talking. After taking a sip of tea, he continued:

"And this was not even the worst of entrances. Many members of the Demon Race were carried by humans with chains in their necks. And they would take pleasure in whipping these humans to the point of almost killing them. This made me so angry, however, since the Academy did not say anything, I did not intervene.

"Of course The worst entrance has to go to the Devil Cultivators. These people had things like rotten corpses, zombies, and wraiths pulling their carriages. It was quite disgusting."

Wang Wei sighed and started to ponder whether he should have come earlier and also created a grand entrance. However, he quickly removed these thoughts from his mind as it was already too late and there was no point in thinking about this now.

"So, did you have your own big entrance?"

"Of course big brother! With the use of my Innate Talent, my entrance did not lose to anyone. I did not lose the face of our Dao Opening Sect!"

Wang Wei nodded, however he could see that Yan Liling was rolling her eyes in the corner. Obviously she did not like Li Jun’s so-called grand entrance, but she did not want to extinguish his excitement, so she did not say anything. As for Wang Wei, he ignored the affairs of this couple.

"Wang Ju, what do you have to report to me?"

"Young Master, I have gathered basic information on all the people who came to the Academy. However, before that, you have an invitation to attend tomorrow."

"What’s so special about this invitation?"

"It is from Miss Xi Shi."

"Who?"

"Xi Shi, the only daughter of the Leader of the [Association of Chamber of Commerce], also the person recognized as the most beautiful woman of the world in this generation."

"Most beautiful woman in the world? Isn’t she a little narcissistic to give herself such a title?"

"Young Master, she did not give herself the title, but there is a published list with her as the number one beauty of the Myriad Emperor World. "

Wang Wei nodded as he understood her meaning, the he pondered for a while before asking, "I’m guessing I am not the only one who received this invitation?"

"That’s correct, young master. All the Heaven Chosen of different factions also received the same invitation."

Wang Wei nodded as he could guess this Xi Ship’s plan or her father’s. It is to invite all these geniuses and future powerhouses using the title of the most beautiful woman of the world, then see if any of them have any interest in acquiring her.

Although Wang Wei disdains these methods of using women as an object, he understands that this is a world where the culture is not as advanced as his past world. Furthermore, powerful man like to conquer beautiful women; this is a simple truth in this world.

Additionally, the concept of gender inequality is not as prominent in this world as one would imagine. As long as a woman is powerful enough, she can do anything she wants—even opening her own harem. And no one can judge her or say anything about it .

In the end, everything depends on strength in this cultivating world.

Nevertheless, Wang Wei did not care about the purpose of this Xi Shi. What he cared about was the fact that he had the opportunity to meet with all the other Heaven Chosens as soon as possible.
