Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor Chapter 212

After setting up the meeting with the Academy, Wang Wei started thinking about the things that happened to him recently, and he was not happy. He has noticed that strange things keep happening around him, and he could not control any of it.

Whether it was having Heart Demon Tribulation twice of the things related to this book, strange and incontrollable events keep happening around him, and the lack of information has annoyed him greatly.

He felt that something beyond his comprehension and understanding is happening, and although he is related to it, he cannot do anything about it.

Wang Wei does not believe that he is a control-freak. Throughout his short century of living, many things have happened that were outside of prediction or controlled. His Divine Punishment Thunder being one of the major ones.

However, during those events, he could think calmly and devised the necessary plans to ensure not only his survival, but also benefit from the situation. However, recent events have made him completely clueless, and he did not like that.

After thinking about these things, he then took out a talisman from his space ring; it was the one that the old beggar gave him. He had a feeling that that old beggar had an inkling of what was going on with him.

However, he did not activate the token; he felt that it was not time yet.

The next day, Wang Wei woke up earlier, was led by Supreme Elder Yan Chen to meet with the upper echelons of the Academy.

He entered a small room where he saw a few teachers sitting cross-legged on futons with an old man with long white hair and beard; he recognized this sage-like old man as the headmaster of the Academy, Bai Han.

The old headmaster was actually his father's greatest enemy during their generation. Even his name was in the second place on the Heavenly Dao Protection Book.

After entering the room, Wang Wei saw a futon in the middle of the room with a small wooden table in front of it. The futon was facing all the other teachers, and was positioned at a lower level than them.

As soon as he entered the room, Wang Wei felt countless powerful aura trying to intimate him. As a matter of fact, even Yan Chen was suppressed by a few other True Monarchs; however, none of them cared about such a thing.

Yan Chen was used to this kind of behavior as the rivalry of the Dao Opening Sect and the Emperor Enlightening Sect has been going on for an entire Era. The last Great Emperor of the sect was during the Devil Era, while the last one for the Academy was at the beginning of the New Emperor Era.

Since then, these two sects have been competing with another for countless millennia.

As for Wang Wei, he did care about these people's aura. As a person who has faced the Wrath of Heavenly Dao directly and won, he did not care about a few Saint's Aura. So, he took his seat in the middle and started tasting the food that they served. As for Yan Chen, he merged into the Void and left the negotiation to the young sect master.

"Sacred Son Wang Wei, what brings you to meet us today?" asked Bai Han with a gentle smile on his face. He has the look of a dotting grandpa talking to his descendants.

Of course Wang Wei will not be affected by his demeanor. Forget the little stunt that these people just did to him, he did not believe that anyone who could sit at such a powerful position would be a harmless grandfather.

"Well, headmaster, I have run into a little problem, and I would like your help to solve it."

"Is that so? Did you not like the reception of our Academy? If there was something that we could do to remedy the situation, please say."

"No, your reception was more than satisfactory. I do not think that my sect could do any better. The trouble I am having is the fact that I do not wish to place my name on the Heavenly Dao Book, and I was wondering if it is possible to see the Dao Tablets without doing so."

Many people frowned after hearing this. A meeting took place last night after the Academy heard the request of the Dao Opening Sect. Many people tried to come up with a reason for such a sudden meeting, but they did not expect that the answer would be this.

"Do you think that our Academy would ruin our reputations in order to plot against you?" Suddenly asked one teacher.

"Of course not. I believe in the Academy's reputation. After all, both my father, mother, and grandparents had their name on the book."

"Then, are you afraid to compete with the other geniuses?" asked the same teacher with a sneer in his voice.

"The answer is still no," replied Wang Wei calmly. "If the Academy wishes, I am more than happy to fight in the trial, but I will not place my name on that book. All I ask for is to be able to see the Dao Tablets without doing so."

"Sacred Son," said Bai Han, preventing the previous teacher from speaking any further. "Excuse us for asking, but we need to have some kind of explanation for your sudden action before we can consider your proposition."

'Old fox, still trying to get some information from me while not giving me any promises,' secretly thought Wang Wei while sipping his tea.

"Well, as you know, after my encounter with Divine Punishment Thunder, me and Heavenly Dao do not have the best of relationships. So, I would prefer not to place my safety in its hands."

The teachers nodded after hearing this. Although they guessed that the real situation was probably more complex than stated, they could still understand the reason behind it. That is given that this Sacred Son was telling the truth.

As for Bai Han, he had a frown on his face as he secretly thought to himself.

'Wait...This Wang Wei has a terrible relationship with Heavenly Dao, and he seemed to want to cultivate the Dao of Fate. Could he be an Outlaw? I remember my old man mentioning something about this, but it was so long ago and I was not really paying attention.

'However, if this Wang Wei is an Outlaw, his level of threat has greatly reduced, unless ...."

"Sacred Son," said Bai Han--who secretly activated a talisman without anyone noticing, even the True Monarchs in the room.

"Unfortunately, we cannot accept your conditions. According to the Academy Rules, all the top 30 Heaven Chosens must place their names on the Heavenly Dao Book before seeing the Dao Tablets."

Wang Wei was not surprised after hearing this. After all, the boss involved the Academy's Qi Luck. However, he was not about to give up so easily.

"That's fine as well. How about a trade then?" replied Wang Wei, still with a calm look on his face.

"Please, elaborate," replied Bai Han, still with a gentle smile on his voice.

"I will use the resources of the Dao Opening Sect in exchange for a token to enter the Secret Realm where the Tablets are. If I remember correctly, the Academy has a few spots for the Legacy Disciples."

According to the information Wang Wei has. The Academy is divided into four categories: outer disciples, inner disciples, core disciples, Legacy disciples, and True Disciples.

The Legacy Disciples are similar to the Contemporary Sacred Son of the Dao Opening Sect, while the True Disciple is the same as a Sacred Son, and Lin Fan currently holds that position.

"I'm afraid that the answer would still be negative."

"Are you sure about this, headmaster. As the Sacred Son of this generation, I have the utmost support of the sect. And you guys can literally ask for anything--besides Emperor Artifacts.

"However, Emperor level herbs, ore, or talismans are not off limits. And even the rare Innate Treasures that have survived from the Void Era, my sect is willing to hand over for this opportunity.

"Although your Academy is the second most powerful faction of the world, it does not change the fact that your history only goes as far as the Middle Emperor Era, so I doubt you guys have any Innate Treasures."

The room became quiet after the teachers heard Wang Wei's words. Many of them involuntarily swallowed their saliva, and greed could be seen emanating from these people's eyes.

As for the headmaster, although his heart skipped a beat, he quickly calmed himself down. Then, with the same gentle smile, he answered: "Thank you for the offer, but the answer is still the same."

"Is that so? Headmaster, can you easily make such a heavy and important decision without consulting the other teachers?" asked Wang Wei calmly.

"Little fox, are you trying to use this opportunity to create discord among the teachers of the Academy?' secretly thought Bai Han--despite his gentle smile still on his face.

"As a matter of fact, I can."

"Yes, we support the Headmaster."

"The Headmaster has such right and power."

Those teachers are not stupid and they quickly recovered from their greed. Instantly, they knew what Wang Wei was trying to do.

"That's unfortunate," said Wang Wei with a little sorrow on his face. However, no one could tell whether he was telling the truth or not.

"Since our negotiations have proven futile, then there is nothing more to talk about. Thank you for the tea."

After saying that, he cupped his hand together and saluted everyone in the room, then he left calmly.

After Wang Wei left the meeting room, he used his Divine Sense to talk to True Monarch Yan Chen."

"How did our back up plans go?"

"I'm sorry young master, it was also a failure."
