The impact of Wang Wei’s Ninth Trial lasted for more than a month. Throughout the Dao Opening Sect, many disciples kept discussing the mighty prowess of their Young Sect Master and they all had a happy smile on their face, as they looked forward to a better future. 

They all hoped that their sect could have a new Great Emperor.

​​

Meanwhile, in the Wang Family Mountain, Wang Wei has been pondering what he learned throughout all the Nine Trials.

After passing each trial, he became a better person, a more qualified cultivator. The trial that affected him the most has to be the Fifth Trial.

In that Trial, Wang Wei almost lost himself. In order to acquire power, he was willing to do absolutely anything: he had no bottom-line whatsoever. He was even willing to kill his own mother…

Although he woke up at the last minute, he still had a lingering fear when he thought about how close he came to losing himself to power and becoming its slave.

During this trial, Wang Wei’s greatest fear since coming to this world manifested. He truly feared that during his journey to the Throne of Emperor, the cultivating world would slowly change him and turn him into a greedy and heartless monster that lust for power.

After all, despite all the changes that has happened to Wang Wei the past ten years, his essence is still a modern man who lived in a society of law and order.

After his self meditation, he proceeds to call his head maid Wang Ju.

Wang Ju walks into the room, bows and salutes: “Young Master.”

Wang Wei nodded slightly before saying: “Now, it is time to get my plans into motion. Go to my father and tell him that 3 days later, I’m going to invite Han Li to meet me and accomplish the previous abolished plan.”

After saying this, there was a cold and ruthless light that rapidly flashed from Wang Wei’s eyes, then immediately disappeared afterward.

Upon hearing Wang Wei’s word, Wang Ju was shocked and her mouth was opened in O shape.

As someone who was trained to always keep her emotion in check, this was indeed a big change for her.

Wang Ju can be considered one of the people that spend the most time with Wang Wei. As such, she knows a great deal about him.

From his habit to his preferences, from his temperament to his secret action, she knows all about it.

As such, she knows a lot of his secrets–including his secret plan toward the #1 Contemporary Sacred Son, Han Li.

She also knows that the Young Master had shelved or stopped this plan because it could be quite detrimental to Han Li and the Young master did not want to hurt people from the same sect.

However now, the Young Master had changed his mind and decided to go on with this plan. How would she not be shocked?

As a person who deals with information, she was used to creating profiles for people she met and distinguishing their habits and temperament in order to determine their actions.

As such, she did the same for the Young Master. Of course it was not to anticipate his actions, but to understand him and better serve him.

She was one of the few people who knew that Wang Wei was actually quite the docile and gentle person who did not want to hurt anybody–especially for his own interest.

However now, things seem to have changed.

The Young Master was no longer the gentle person he used to be. Now, he seemed more ruthless and decisive. It seemed that the Nine Pagoda Trials had trained him to be more decisive and ruthless.

“Maybe this was for the best,” thought Wang Ju as she left the room and headed toward Tianwei Peak to meet the Sect Master and delivered the message.
