Chapter 1687 - 1687 Trial of fate (1)
1687 Trial of fate (1)
Due to the strange rule of the Wheel of Destiny, Tang Zhen’s movements were greatly restricted.
He had never thought of going against the Wheel of Fortune’s rules and secretly sneaking out to find Hua Yue and the strange man. Whether he would succeed or not, he was at a disadvantage from the beginning.
Although the Wheel of Destiny allowed private revenge and wouldn’t protect the child of destiny too much, the condition was that the rules of the island of destiny couldn’t be violated.
If they violated the rules, even if they were reasonable, they would become unreasonable. They would then be hunted down by the Wheel of Destiny cultivators and thrown into the purgatory abyss to receive punishment.
During the pursuit and imprisonment, no one knew what would happen. Under the circumstances of being controlled by others, it would be more convenient for the enemy to attack him.
Therefore, after Tang Zhen understood the rules of the Wheel of Fortune, he first rejected the plan to act in private. Instead, he prepared to use the rules here to reasonably and legally get rid of Hua Yue and the strange man.
However, in a situation where he was under the control of others, if he wanted to realize his plan, he needed to have people at his disposal to facilitate his actions.
He was unfamiliar with this place and the best way to recruit useful manpower as soon as possible was to throw money.
Sure enough, the innkeeper couldn’t resist the temptation of the gold coin of destiny. Although he knew that there was a certain risk in this matter, he still agreed.
in that case, you can keep these destiny gold coins. I’ll be waiting for your good news.
Tang Zhen smiled and stood up. He returned to the bamboo house and continued to cultivate.
The innkeeper looked around and put away the silver plate. Then, without a change in expression, he tidied up the table and left the backyard.
The trial of fate begins once every three years. The participants can be guided by a Jade tablet and directly enter the trial grounds.
The time that Tang Zhen arrived could be considered coincidental. In another half a month’s time, a new round of the destiny trial would begin. Before that, all he needed to do was to wait in peace.
After a few days, the inn owner found Tang Zhen.
“Sir, the information you wanted has been obtained. However, there is only information on Hua Yue. The other person is missing.”
Tang Zhen was not surprised when he heard the inn owner’s answer.
This was because the strange man’s injuries were far more serious than Hua Yue’s. Even though he had been reborn, he still needed a long time to recuperate.
how about this, if you have the time, help me pay more attention to the news of the Wheel of Destiny, and pay more attention to whether there are any Children of Destiny who have suddenly gone into seclusion.
The strange man had no name, so he could only find him through this method.
Of course, Hua Yue wasn’t much better off. Losing the seed of destiny made his name hollow. He was already lucky that he wasn’t removed from the Wheel of Destiny.
Compared to the cultivators in loucheng, the rules of the Wheel of Destiny were undoubtedly stricter, even merciless.
If Hua Yue wanted to recover her strength, she would have to participate in the trial of destiny again to accumulate the power of destiny and condense the seed of destiny.
It could be said that if Hua Yue were to participate in the trial now, there would not be much difference between her and the other participants. However, with the resources that she had, she would still have some advantages over the other participants.
Tang Zhen was prepared to use this opportunity to openly kill Hua Yue during the trial.
you’ve done well. If you have the chance, ask around for more information about the trial of fate. If you do well, I’ll give you more than enough rewards.
Those who participated in the trial of destiny would have their memories wiped after failing. Only the child of destiny would reveal some relevant information.
The innkeeper was overjoyed. He was originally worried that Tang Zhen would be dissatisfied if he didn’t complete the agreed task. However, it seemed that he had been overthinking it.
don’t worry, Sir. I’ve already used all my connections to help you gather information in this area. Once there’s a new situation, I’ll definitely inform you at the first moment.
The inn owner didn’t dare to be neglectful when facing a big gold mine like Tang Zhen. He hoped to obtain even more rewards.
“Yes, thank you for your concern.”
Tang Zhen nodded his head as he courteously said to the inn owner.
“Your Excellency, please don’t say anything. This is what I should do.”
The innkeeper’s expression was a little fearful. He knew about Tang Zhen’s past experiences. Therefore, even if Tang Zhen expressed his gratitude in a friendly manner, he did not dare to accept it with a calm heart.
This was a brutal man who even dared to kill Destiny’s Child, so he could not be neglected.
After receiving an information Jade token from the innkeeper, Tang Zhen read all the information within it once before revealing a pondering expression.
“I’m fine here, you can go.”
The innkeeper quickly nodded in agreement and bowed before leaving in a hurry.
Tang Zhen slowly walked to the pavilion in the bamboo forest. He mused for a moment before completely sealing off the space around him.
After summoning the destiny scales, Tang Zhen stated his request.
I want an item that can track a specific target. I can find him no matter where he is.
A light began to appear on one end of the balance of fate. Then, it slowly sank and a ball of light appeared in front of Tang Zhen.
The scales of destiny had already conjured the items he needed according to his request. Next, he would have to pay enough destiny gold coins to exchange for them.
After selling the strange man’s seed of fate last time, Tang Zhen had left 3000 destiny gold coins for his main body. He still had a few thousand on hand, enough for his daily use.
After spending more than 1500 destiny gold coins, Tang Zhen got the item he wanted.
The item this time was a small metal bird. It looked very lively. When it fell into Tang Zhen’s hand, it even lightly pecked his palm and emitted a clear cry.
After Tang Zhen fiddled with it a few times, he clearly understood the usage of this metal bird.
As long as he fused the information of the tracking target into his spiritual energy and then sent it into the little bird’s body, it would automatically search for the target and lead Tang Zhen to the target location.
Tang Zhen was extremely satisfied with the items this time around. Although the price was very high, it was worth it.
With this item, even if Hua Yue and the strange man were to hide at the ends of the earth, Tang Zhen would be able to find them!
Keeping the metal bird in his storage space, Tang Zhen continued to train, fighting to reach the sector Lord 2nd level as soon as possible.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the trial of fate had arrived.
On this morning, the inn owner sent the last message, congratulating Tang Zhen on successfully passing the trial, and then left.
Tang Zhen returned to the bamboo house alone. He held the Jade tablet in his hand and used his mental energy to communicate with it.
The Jade token started to glow. Soon after, Tang Zhen felt an incomparably vast power slowly appearing and enveloping his body.
Countless pillars of light appeared in the sky above the island of destiny and shot straight to the ground. One of them landed in the bamboo building where Tang Zhen was.
Tang Zhen’s body became light as a familiar feeling was transmitted over. He knew that he was undergoing a spatial teleportation.
When the scene in front of him returned to normal, he found himself in a void, and under his feet was a vast and boundless land.
A cold and emotionless voice suddenly sounded by Tang Zhen’s ear.
“The trial of fate has begun. The first trial is to walk out of this desert alive.”
Tang Zhen’s voice had just sounded when he suddenly lost control of his body. He directly fell from the sky toward the desert.
At this moment, all of Tang Zhen’s cultivation had been sealed and he only had the strength of an ordinary person. The items in his storage equipment could not be taken out.
If he fell straight down, he wouldn’t die, but he would still be injured.
Fortunately, although the process of falling was dangerous, his body did not suffer any injuries after he landed. This also caused Tang Zhen to gently sigh in relief.
After checking the items on his body, Tang Zhen discovered that there was only a knife and a pot of water on his body. Other than these, there was nothing else.
Just as he was about to check his surroundings, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from beside him and raised a dagger to stab his back.
A cold glint flashed within Tang Zhen’s eyes. He suddenly twisted his body to avoid it. The long blade in his hand was swung and it was slashed at the throat of the sneak attacker.
* Cough cough *
The Ambusher clutched his neck and knelt on the ground unwillingly. His body quickly turned into white light and disappeared, but the items on him were left behind.
Tang Zhen frowned slightly. He picked up the items on the ground and gently shook his head.
it’s not an illusion. It can only be said that there is reality in the void, and there is emptiness in the reality. It seems that only an expert at the level of the creator can create such a magical world.
