Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor Chapter 181: Yun Zhaojun

After finis.h.i.+ng his seclusion, w.a.n.g Wei went out to relax for a bit. At the same time, he wanted to know how long he was in retreat. Although he only felt that a few an instant had pa.s.sed, he knew that he actually spent many years in seclusion during his breakthrough.

However, not long after he exited his cultivation room, he received a Divine Sense message from his mother to come see her, so he headed to her room to see what it was about.

After entering the room, w.a.n.g Wei saw a bunch of arrays projecting a 3D hologram of a person that was talking to his mother.

The person was an elderly woman dressed in plain ancient garments. The elderly woman had white hair, eyes full of wisdom. She had a kind and gentle temperament emanating from her.

Despite being old, she did not appear weak. On the contrary, she appeared to be vigorous and lively. However, if someone were to take a deep look in this woman's eyes, they would see a deep fatigue.

"Grandmother!" said w.a.n.g Wei excitedly with a smile on his face.

The woman's hologram seemed to have heard his voice, so it turned around with a smile.

"My lovely grandson, I have not seen you in many years. Have you forgotten your dear old grandma? I know that you young people have their own life, but you should not forget the old generation so quickly."

"Granma, you know I was busy with a trial the past few years, that's why I did not contact you," replied w.a.n.g Wei with a smile after standing next to his mother.

Then, the holographic woman smiled before answering:

"I know about this and grandma is proud of all your accomplishments."

For some reason, w.a.n.g Wei blushed a little after hearing this. Ever since he was young, his grandmother from his mother's family has always been very close to him, always doting on him--sometimes even worse than his mother.

In this life, w.a.n.g Wei has three grandparents. His grandfather w.a.n.g Chang mostly talked to him about cultivation, imparted to him his wisdom and experience of his long years. He is more of a protector in w.a.n.g Wei's life.

As for his grandfather Yu Zhuang, he was severely injured and was healing, So he only showed up on a few occasions through sending a clone.

So, w.a.n.g Wei mostly talked to his grandmother, which was in many ways his emotional support in the early days after his reincarnation.

One thing that many people did know about w.a.n.g Wei was that he suffered a lot of anxiety in his early days. From the perspective of an outsider, he was crowned a genius with many halos on his head and the full support of the sect, so his life should be happy and without worries.

However, these halos were the very core of his problems. With how talented he was, many people had many expectations on him, hoping that he would bring the sect to new heights.

All these things brought a heaven pressure or burden to him. Many times he doubted himself whether he could live up to these standards. He even contemplated whether he should fake an incident that made him look like he was "crippled" so that people stopped having expectations of him.

And it did not help the fact he did not have a golden finger. Well, at the very least, one that is easily recognizable. Although he guessed that his powerful soul was his golden-finger, unfortunately this kind of thing is not noticeable.

Yes, he was more intelligent than the majority of all the young generations of the sect? Yes, many people praised him for his outstanding comprehension?

However, to w.a.n.g Wei, these kinds of praise were nothing but talk. People said that his comprehension was probably one of the top of the entire world, however, where was the proof of such a claim.

How does he not know that these people were just praising just for the sake of praising him? Or to boost his ego?

During these tough times in the early days, only two things kept on going. One was the fact that he was an adult so he was more resistant to stress.

But the most important was his grandmother. She was the only person that he could tell about how he truly felt, about the difficulties and pressure he faced.

And she was a great help to w.a.n.g Wei. She listened to him when he needed someone to talk to, she advised him when he needed guidance. In many ways, w.a.n.g Wei's confidence and indomitable will was slowly built by his grandmother, Yun Zhaojun, in the first 8 years of his life.

So, their relations.h.i.+p was really close. Maybe even closer than his real parents.

"How is grandpa doing?" asked w.a.n.g Wei trying to change the topic in order to hide his embarra.s.sment.

His grandma sighed after hearing this before answering with a look of sadness in her voice, "Unfortunately, his injuries are still the same."

"Are things that serious? Doesn't the Yu Clan have any Supreme Tier or even Quasi-Emperor Pills?"

"Little Wei, things are not that simple."

w.a.n.g Wei frowned after hearing this, "Could it be that he needs a Emperor Tier Pill to heal him? If that is the case, I can still ask my father if the sect has any secretly hidden."

His grandmother shook her head, "Your grandfather's injuries have nothing to do with his body. His heart is simply destroyed, and I am afraid that he does not have long to live."

The room instantly became quiet, while w.a.n.g Wei had a frown on his face along with his mother. After a few seconds of silence, he sighed before asking, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"If there was, I would not hesitate to ask. Okay, let's talk about other things. What's that I heard that you did not plan to give me a great-grandson any time soon?"

w.a.n.g Wei was speechless for a while, then he gave his mother a vicious look. However, Yu Yan just pretended that he did not see anything.

"Grandmother..."

"Okay Little Wei, I know that you are not the kind of person that easily changes a major decision that you make, so I won't try to convince you. However, I want you to remember that having children is not just about having an heir to pa.s.s on your inheritance."

w.a.n.g Wei nodded his head, "I understand, grandma."

"Well, in that case we won't mention this topic again."

"Mom!" cried Yu Yan. She told on his son hoping that his mother can change his mind, but now…

w.a.n.g Wei's grandma ignored her daughter, then continued talking to her grandson.

"I have spent many things for you--including your favorite Longxue tea. I a.s.sumed that your stacks would be finished by now."

"Thank you grandma!"

Then, w.a.n.g Wei spent a few hours talking to his grandmother about all the things he experienced during the trial.

As for Yu Yan, she had a mostly gloomy look during the entire time. For once, she did not achieve her main objection of changing w.a.n.g Wei's mind about children.

More importantly, her own mother completely ignored her most of the time. As a matter of fact, things have always been like this. When it comes to w.a.n.g Wei, his mother has always been partial, so you'd think that she got used to it by now, and she was.

However, for some reason, she was not happy about this today. So, since she was not happy, someone else has to share her misery with her. Yu Yan could not do anything to his son as he could just report to his mother. Moreover, she could never treat her son like that. He was too cute.

So, her husband was chosen. One could foretold that Sect Master w.a.n.g Tian will not be having any pleasant nights in the next few days.

After chatting with his grandmother, w.a.n.g Wei called the members of his group in order to have a meeting.

So, Li Jun, Yan Liling, w.a.n.g Ju, and Tie Gang showed up in the w.a.n.g Mountain Clan to meet him.

After settling down, the first thing he did was to ask how long he was in retreat. He has been so busy in the past few hours that he even forgot that question.

"Half a century," replied Li Jun.

"To be precise, 56 years, 3 months, and 18 days," added w.a.n.g Ju.

"Even the three of us finished our breakthrough more than a decade ago," said Yan Liling with a calm face.

Meanwhile, w.a.n.g Wei had a surprised look on his face. He did not expect that it took so long as he only felt like it was an instant.

As for the fact that those people finished their breakthrough 10 years earlier than him, he was not that surprised. With his deep foundation, of course it will take longer to make a breakthrough.

Adding to that, he had to find the Dao Rhyme of the Silver Sand in order to temper his bones.

After calming himself down, he asked, "What has happened throughout the world during my absence?"
