Few days have passed since Wang Wei passed the Fifth Trial. He is now preparing to enter the Sixth one.
While flying in the air accompanied by his head maid, Wang Wei asks her for the latest information that he needs to know and analyze.
She responds: "According to the information we received, the Enlightening Emperor Academy has secretly been moving around lately."
"Do you know the reason?" asks Wang Wei.
"We do not know for sure, but there are rumors that they have found the Absolute Chaos Physique, but we could not verify if this information is true or not. The Academy has even launched a massive clean up after the news leak. Many of our hidden spies were killed."
Wang Wei ponders for a while. The rumors are most likely true given how severe the Academy reacted after the news leak. He suddenly asks:
"What about the other two top physiques?"
"According to our information, the number 2 physique, the Heavy Axe Body is the crown prince of the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty. As for the number 3 physique, the Seven Emotion Six Desire Body, we only know that it is a girl, and she was found in the Eastern Azure Dragon Continent. As for what force has acquired her, there is currently no information."
Wang Wei smells the incoming storm from the whereabouts and actions of the Number 2 and 3 Physique. Usually, a sect will normally start to brag to the world about their Heaven Chosen as a way to form momentum for them.
However, the Enlightening Emperor Academy and the power faction in the Eastern Azure Dragon Continent chose the opposite and became quite low-key. This is actually quite unusual. This can only mean that they are preparing for the right time when all other Heaven Chosen’s momentum reach a peak period, then use them as a stepping stone for their own people.
After thinking about this, Wang Wei’ sense of urgency rises quickly. He needs to advance his plans so that he will not become the stepping stone for someone’s else.
After chatting with his handmaid for a while, Wang Wei soon reaches the place where the Pagoda Trial takes place. Then, without hesitation, he entered.
In this trial, Wang Wei finds himself being a very powerful cultivator; he is also the Sect Master of one of the most powerful sects of the world.
His every word can dictate the life of countless people. Under his leadership, his sect reached the most prosperous height since its creation.
While everything seems to be going well for him, an enemy of Wang Wei sneak attacks him while he is leading the sect’s disciples to a Secret Realm.
The worst part about this is the fact his enemy did not kill him, but abolished his cultivation level, then shatters his Dao.
After this incident, Wang Wei finds himself living a life of hell. He becomes a crippling beggar. He had no home to live and had to beg in the street to live.
When the winter’s cold arrived, Wang Wei had to find throw away clothes and stitch them together as a blanket to warm himself and prevent himself from freezing to death.
When the autumn’s rain washed away the world, a few Temples had provided shelters to a group of beggars and Wang Wei was lucky enough to be one of them.
The worst part of this experience for Wang Wei was not the constant changing mood of mother nature, but the never ending hunger and the constant humiliation.
Everyday, Wang Wei had to go forage for food in the city. Since he is a beggar, he lives in the slum--the poor area infested with crime.
The people living in the slum barely had enough food to feed themselves, let alone help others. Once in a while, some good samaritans would feel bad for Wang Wei and provide him with enough food to barely keep alive.
On some good day, some rich merchant or nobles would pass by the slums and give the beggars some food. However, they usually do it with a look of arrogance in their face and will usually throw the food in the ground and watch with pleasure as the beggars fight over such little food.
In order to survive, Wang Wei is usually one of the beggars fighting for food. Due to the fact that he used to be a powerful cultivator, he is still much stronger than an ordinary person, let alone a malnourished beggar.
In fact, the act of these nobles and rich merchants throwing food in the ground are actually quite benign. Usually, they will vent their anger on the beggars by severely beating and insulting them; they spit at them, throw rotten eggs and feces at them, or even directly murder them.
Wang Wei has tried a few times to fight back. The result is always him being severely injured and almost dying. The nobles and merchants never suffer any consequences for their action.
This situation becomes worse for Wang Wei as some cultivators recognize him as the former Sect Master of the Dao Opening Sect. They all took pleasure humiliating one of the most powerful cultivators in the world.
Things continue as such for many years until one season, a great famine envelops the kingdom where Wang Wei is currently located.
Due to the famine, the nobles hoard the majority of the food, while the rich merchants raise the price to make profit.
The majority of the poor people in the slum starve to death, while the number of beggars drop exponentially.
During this period, Wang Wei has not eaten any food for more than two weeks. The only reason that he has lasted for so long was due to his former powerful body.
On a particular summer’s night, Wang Wei lies on the floor with an excruciating pain in his stomach. His throat is dry and his vision becomes blurry. He realizes that he was about to die of starvation.
Then a man appears before him. The man throws a piece of bread on the floor in front of Wang Wei--which immediately delighted him. However, his joy did not last long as the man actually urinated on the bread, then looked at him with a mocking smile and watched with an expectant joy for him to reach out and eat the piece of bread.
Wang Wei looks at the breed, then swallows his saliva with a look of desire. Then, he raises his head and looks at the man with his blurred vision. Afterward, he closed his eyes and rested.
His pride will never allow him to reach such low-bottom. He would rather starve to death than eat such a disgusting thing to survive.
Who was he?
One of the most powerful cultivators in the world. The sect master of one of the most powerful sects in the world.
How can he do such a thing as eating bread filled with urine. He would rather die than suffer such humiliation.
Soon afterward, Wang Wei’s wish was granted to him. He starved to death and was immediately exiled out of the Pagoda.
Wang We thought that his act of placing his pride over his life would be the key that allowed him to pass the trial. But in fact, after exiting the trial, he actually fails to pass the Sixth Trial.
