1469 The Trial's Aftermath
Red Mist Forbidden Zone:
Heavenly Book opened his eyes, imdiately flipping through his book. Pages after pages were filled, and Heavenly Book every word with great concentration. He then chuckled: "So, he chose love instead of being a pawn? I want to say that was predictable, but I didn't think he had it in him."
Heavenly Book did not have all the information about Tian Xuan, but from the crumbs he deduced, he thought the latter would compete with Wang Wei due to his sense of inferiority. He believed he would want to prove himself to be better than Wang Wei, thus soothing the voice in the back of his mind that was constantly telling him he was not good enough.
'I made the right choice by not intervening,' Heavenly Book thought. After Tian Xuan's defection, Grand Dao has to rely more on him; in other words, his value was just raised in the eyes of Grand Dao. Heavenly Book chuckled as he also understood why Grand Dao insisted on him intervening. The latter must have felt sothing about Tian Xuan and wanted assurance.
The book's new update soon finished, and Heavenly Book analyzed all the latest information. 'The most crucial news is the fact that the Eternal Ascension World will soon be accessible. There is also a chance I won't need to fulfill the deal with Supre Unity. However, I can use it as a trump card if necessary.'
Heavenly Book stood up. Supre Unity's situation was not ideal, and now there were other ways to access the Eternal Ascension World, which the Heavenly Book wanted to prepare. 'Now that he's suffering, there is a chance he might be desperate and try to contact or attack . So, I need to be careful when I move.'
He opened a portal to a Chaos World called Furious Dao World, directly above a man whose aura oozed sadness and desperation. The man, dressed in all black, including black fingerpaints, was nad Ling Li, and he was cursed to be disregarded all his life. As soon as he was born, his parents forgot his existence. No one can see or touch him, and he cannot do the sa.
Ling Li has lived nurous lives, but it's always the sa. He cannot be seen or touched; this phenonon is not just for mortals but cultivators alike. No, his curse was more horrifying than that.
Ling Li wanted a cure to his curse, so he cultivated to the peak of the Paragon Realm before searching for an answer. He did then realize to the extent he was invisible — the extent he was ignored. The Book of Life forgot his na, aning not only does he have no status in the world, he cannot even die. Fate does not have a string for him, aning his fate should be his own, but it's not. Ti cannot wash away his youth or longevity.
Everything in the world has discarded Ling Li, except for one thing — the Grand Dao Source. His connection to it and his ability to cultivate it are his only sources of tetheredness to this universe. However, Ling Li has discovered that even such a truth was slowly changing. Although it's really slow, he knows it is only a matter of ti before the Dao also abandons him.
Heavenly Book appeared above Ling Li, and with a wave of his hand, the depressed young man turned into a black coat. "Can this thing be considered a failure?" Heavenly Book created this artifact to avoid Grand Dao's protection. He called it the Heaven Disregard Robe, and it's significant to his plan.
'It will need a significant boost before it can be complicated. However, it's enough now to hide in front of these half-baked transcendents,' he thought before putting the robe over his shoulder. Heavenly Book imdiately entered a state in which all things in existence instinctively or naturally disregard his existence.
'Let's move!'
…
The All-Seeing Temple was an artifact shaped like a gray temple with motifs of the River of Fate floating in Primordial Chaos. Today, the Destiny Council — a Primal, Supre, and First Class Seer eting — occurred due to Grandma Ju's return.
The eting had a strange atmosphere, especially if viewed from an outside perspective. The Primal Seer, a young woman with gray hair and a pure white robe, sat on a cushion. On her right and left stood five people in gray robes, followed by another group in black. Although everyone stood in line on the right and left of the Primal Seer, there was a slight gap between the grey and black seers.
anwhile, Grandma Ju was at the end of the lines, in the middle of the room about 20 ters from the Primal Seer, kneeling on the ground with her head on the floor.
"I did not expect the Eternal Ascension World to be so prepared," the Primal Seer uttered in a lodious voice full of vicissitude.
"Temple Lord, I have done my best," Grandma Ju stated.
"I can see that," the Primal Seer nodded. "Although you failed your mission, you have brought valuable news. This rit will cancel your derit."
"Thank you, Temple Lord, for your imnse generosity," Grandma Ju swiftly said. The Primal Seer nodded before looking at a middle-aged man in grey to her left: "You don't have to say anything. It's good that we have a new First Class Seer in the temple."
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth before nodding. The Primal Seer then looked at a grey-robed woman on her right and said, "You did an excellent job cultivating such a seer for the temple. You know where to receive your reward."
"It's my duty!" The woman replied as she saluted by cupping her hands. The Primal Seer looked at everyone: "The entire Chaos Universe has eyes on us, waiting for more news about the All-Heaven Fate Calamity. If we cannot provide more news, I'm afraid so people will get desperate. Ti is running out, so our focus should be on this."
"As you wish, Temple Lord," everyone said in unison.
…
Bi Longsheng teleported ho. What welcod ho was not this lavish palace created from the best materials from the Chaos Universes. No, what was before him was a cruel and catastrophic world. From above, Bi Longsheng could see zones of destruction scattered everywhere.
There were volcanoes, Heavenly Fla Regions, Intense Wind Regions, Ice Tandrem that could go past absolute zero, Gravity Zones that could reach beyond the limit of physiques, Poisons Worlds that contained strains from every world in the Chaos Universe, Yin Qi Graves, Collapsing Star/Black Holes Dinsions, Chaotic Spatial-Temporal Areas, Chaos Sectors, Nothingness Manifestation Lands, etc. This place had everything, and in all these locations, body refiners were using them to temper their flesh.
Bi Longsheng took a deep breath, absorbing the energy in the environnt. This was not Dao Qi, but the purest Essence Qi. Any mortals living in this environnt would grow up capable of lifting a dozen tons without exercise. And any Body refiners would sacrifice one of their testes to live in this place.
Bi Longsheng looked at a palace located at the center of this chaotic world. The palace was all black and looked normal; it was hard to tell whether it was luxurious or what kind of materials it was made of. Bi Longsheng flew to the palace and landed on his feet before entering. He headed directly to the Mission Hall.
A man with a bare upper body sat on the floor, looking intently at a transparent. His muscles seed to contract with the sa rhythm of the fla's flicker.
"Uncle Dragonroot," Bi Lonsheng bowed.
"Report!" Dragonroot said directly, and Bi Longsheng told him everything, including how he behaved when he t Wang Wei.
"We predicted that the Dao Opening Sect's destiny would run out after Qiyuan or flourish unlike anything before. It seems it's the latter," Dragonroot muttered.
"What should we do about Wang Wei?"
"It doesn't matter. Although his talent is one of a kind, it's not the first ti we've encountered soone like him, and it probably won't be the last," Dragonroot said calmly. "Plus, if he is important enough for soone to put a Warning Mark on him, he might be more trouble than he's worth."
"I see."
"If you want to be the Mansion Lord or the Clan Patriarch, you must demonstrate the ability to rally people behind you. Strength is not enough — you must demonstrate charisma and leadership skills."
"I understand, Uncle Dragonroot."
Dragonroot nodded. "You still did an excellent job, so it will be marked on your record."
Bi Longsheng knew this conversation had ended, so he saluted his uncle before leaving. His shadow morphed into an entity, staying in the room to communicate with Dragonroot.
Eternal Ascension World:
Wang Wei returned ho, and he was imdiately on the highest alert, fearing soone would sneak-attack him. However, after not noticing anything, he relaxed slightly. He looked around before teleporting ho.
A bright smile plastered on his face as he returned to his [Transcending Fate Mountain]. However, his peace did not last long as Wang Qi and Yu Cai rushed toward him.
