Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor-Chapter 13.2: Ultimate Suffering Lead to Ultimate Victory Part 2

Outside of the Pagoda, many disciples watched the second trial with shock. To them, this was pure masochism.

Each disciples had to suffer such tragic torture. The majority just gave up after a few layers.

In fact, Wang Wei had a clear purpose when designing this layer of the trial. Cultivators--in order to to step into higher realms--have to go through Heavenly Tribulations. Starting from the Supernatural Realm, cultivators have to go through Heavenly Tribulation every time they cross a major realm.

One of the reasons that many cultivators failed to pass these Heavenly Tribulations have to do with the fact that they could not bear the pain of lighting or heavenly fire when passing their Tribulation. As such, they gave up and ended up dead.

Additionally, The Path of Body Refining requires one to bear a tremendous amount of pain. If you do not have a high pain threshold, then you will not have a great achievement in this path.

Wang Wei has made great and far reaching plans for his future cultivation. If these plans go well, he will have to bear a great deal of Heavenly Tribulation--probably even before stepping into the Supernatural realm. Furthermore, he will also go in the Path of Bodyrefining.

As such, Wang Wei designed the Third Pagoda Trial in order to physically and mentally prepare him for the future.

Back in the Pagoda, Wang Wei just entered the Tenth Layer of Hell, the Chamber of Ox.

In this layer, Wang Wei was abused by all kinds of animals. Some of them use their horns to impale him, some use a horde to trample on him until he turns into meat sauce on the ground. Some animal slowly ate his skin, then crawled inside his body to munch on his internal organs like some kind of expansive deluxe meal. Some tiny animals slowly crawl into his brain from his ear, then proceed to munch on his brain. Some use poison to slowly destroy his immune system.

In the Eleventh Layer of Hell, the Chamber of Rock, Wang Wei had to hold a large rock on top of his head until his strength was exhausted. Then he would fall in a putrid water made of all the world's filth. This water was literally made of any filth imaginable; the water was so dirty that a drop of it could corrupt a person' soul.

In the Twelfth Layer of Hell, the Chamber of Mortar and Pestles, the devils force fed Wang Wei liquid lava. He had to experience the feeling of his tongue burning, then his esophagus melted. Afterward, his stomach and other organs were violently melted one by one.

In the Thirteenth Layer of Hell, the Pool of Blood, Wang Wei was stabbed in different parts of the body. These stabs were not fatal, but deep enough to allow his blood to flow out of his body. Then Wang Wei watched his life slowly fade away from him as more blood flew out of his body. This torture might not have been the most painful, but it was the most horrible. He had to watch his life slowly fading, yet, he laid in the pool of blood helplessly, and in despair.

After this layer, Wang Wei vowed to never feel this despair and helplessness again. His desire to prove the Dao and Proclaim himself Emperor was further increased. He must transcend Life and Death.

In the Fourteenth Layer of Hell, the Town of Suicide, Wang Wei was constantly lashed with a whip. However, this was not a simple whip, but one that directly affected the soul. The soul is an illusory yet real thing in the world of cultivators. The soul is a hundred times more fragile and sensitive than the physical body. As such, the pain to the soul can magnify a hundred to a thousand times of the body.

In the Fifteenth Layer of Hell, the Chamber of Dismemberment, Wang Wei experienced being hacked into pieces. Have you ever wondered what it feels like when your head is separated from your body? How about just your torso? Or how about all four of your limbs? How about watching it happening to none other than yourself?

Well, Wang Wei finally knew the answer to these questions.

At this point of the trial, Wang Wei had acquired a high threshold of pain. Recently, he learned a trick to reduce his pain. He managed to learn to control his body to the point of cutting his pain receptors in his body, thus reaching a state of not feeling any physical pain, However, this trick only applied to physical pain, not spiritual or soul related pain.

However, Wang Wei was not discouraged because of such minor inconvenience. As such, he took action to fix the problem. Instead of just experiencing pain, he started to ponder on the concept of pain. He hoped that he could be enlightened in the Dao of Pain so that he could awaken an Innate Talent related to pain in the Supernatural Realm.

One day, he would make his enemies experience hundred-fold or more the pain he had experienced in this trial.

In the Sixteenth Layer of Hell, Mountain of Flames, Wang Wei was sent inside a hollow mountain. Then, the mountain would be slowly filled with lava. The terrible thing about this layer was the fact that the lava did not directly burn and kill him. No, it slowly cooked him, then, the lava solidified and encased Wang Wei inside, thus killing him due to asphyxiation.

Wang Wei had to experience the pain of not having air to breath. His lungs screamed trying to inhale the tiniest amount of oxygen to sustain itself. Without enough oxygen, his heart stopped beating, then a chain reaction occurred inside his body that led to the failure of all his other organs.

Normally, after such an ordeal, a person will immediately die after a few minutes. But no. In this trial, Wang Wei stayed in this state for hours if not days. In that state, he could not even scream even if he wanted to.

In the Seventeenth Layer of Hell, the Yard of Stone Mill, Wang Wei was placed on a stone mill, then slowly grinded like a blender until he turned into a bloody, savory and slurry milkshake. All his skin, muscle, organs, and bones were grinded into slushy. This process repeated itself many times over.

In the Eighteen and Final Layer of Hell, the Chamber of Saw, Wang Wei was sawed in half in many different ways. Whether horizontally, vertically, or obliquely, in this layer, his final result was to be separated into two. In this layer, Wang Wei even experienced the pain of cutting his soul into two or more parts.

However, unlike when he first started, Wang Wei did not scream in agony. In fact, he did not scream at all. He gritted his teeth and bore the pain without making much noise.

After the last layer, Wang Wei and the other contestants were sent out of the Pagoda. In fact, the contestants had spent more than a month in the trial. Yet, the people outside stood watching in the Formation Screen without moving a single step. To these cultivators, a month was a very short period of time for them.

When Wang Wei and the contestants who finished the whole trial were sent out, they received praise and worship from the other disciples--especially Wang Wei and Li Jun. This time, all the Contemporary Sacred Son passed the trial, but the reason that many people paid attention to Wang Wei and Li Jun was due to their young age.

Many people of similar age from the different families in the sect were allowed to take the Trial, but only Wang Wei and Li Jun managed to finish and pass it. So, they receive the most praise.

Somewhere in the void.

Many of the Sec Upper Level management were standing there and talking to each other.

The Great Elder of the Recruiting Hall said: "Sect Master, I think we need to use this Pagoda Trial as a test to recruit disciples from now on!"

"That's a great idea. Not just recruiting disciples, but also as an assessment from when they are promoted from outer disciples to inner and core disciples. We should apply a strict standard for each promotion."

"I don't know about this. This Pagoda Trial is a magical weapon that further increases the foundation of our sect. Is it really a good thing to make it available for free just like this?"

"Then it can only be free for when recruiting new disciples. All the other disciples have to use sect points in order to be allowed to enter the Pagoda. The Contemporary Sacred Son can also enter for free," responded Sect Master Wang Tian.

Afterward, all the elders agreed and started discussing the standard and point required by all the disciples to use the Pagoda.

With this new invention created by Wang Wei, the Dao Opening became more lively with an increasingly more powerful foundation. As such, the sect is slowly leading to a more powerful and brilliant direction.
