Chapter 441: Nexus of Fate: Death
"Ever since you told me about the Duyi Realm since you returned, I have been thinking about it and I may have found a way."
He waved his hand and countless dots filled the top of the mansion; they shone even more brightly than any stars. A deep look at these dots revealed that they were in the shape of stars.
"Sword Qi?" gestured Wang Wei.
"Not just regular Sword Qi. Each of them was condensed from a sword technique or moves. After I comprehend their essence, I condense them into a singular Sword Qi.:
Wang Wei was surprised after hearing this as there were exactly 1.269 trillion Sword Qi in the sky, the exact number of his Primordial Spirit particles.
That meant that his father had studied and understood this number of sword moves and techniques. It is obvious he has been doing this for a very long time, and this could explain why his scripture is so powerful and unique.
He has studied the essence trillion of different swordsmanship and integrated it into his [Absolute Cut Sutra]. In terms of swordsmanship foundation, probably no one is his match in this world.
Wang Wei raised his hand to ask: "Do you want to use these Sword Qi to reform your Primordial Spirit and enter the Duyi Realm?"
"Yes, so what do you think?"
"It should work but prepare beforehand for the Heavenly Thunder Punishment."
Based on Di Tian\'s strength qualification that Wang Wei learned from his memories, his father\'s strength was equal to 5 reincarnations. After he enters the Duyi Realm, he should jump to 6 reincarnations, and once he reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm, he will probably reach the strength of 7 reincarnations, and maybe even have the ability to confront 8 reincarnations for a brief moment.
After making a preliminary plan, Wang Wei told his father some of his experience creating his Primordial Spirit so that he can learn from it. Finally, three days later, everyone began the journey to return to the Dao Opening Sect.
Wang Wei took one last look at the Yu Clan city and sighed to himself. Honestly speaking, he does not think that he will willingly come back to this place. All his good memories have been overshadowed by that one bad experience.
So, after taking one last look, he hopped on the sect\'s Void Boat to head home.
"How is the investigation?" he gestured his hand to ask Wang Ju.
"Our men have infiltrated the Shadow Slaying Temple but they could only take the identity of low-level assassins so we have valuable information on who ordered the assassination on you.
"All we know is that someone or some people place an order on both you and Di Tian. And recently, Lin Fan was added to the list."
"So, they want to take out the most threatening candidate first? Keep investigating, plus, use the sect\'s resources to add a similar level bounty to Heaven Chosen that participated in the party."
Wang Wei did not think these people would be successful in their assassination. However, according to their rules, they only require half a down payment first, and once they succeed, the rest can be paid. If they fail, they will return the previous payment. Of course, not after only one attempt.
And he wanted to take advantage of this rule. These people would cause great trouble to his competitors. But once they fail, they have to return his money to him.
And on the lucky chance that they succeed, well, it was worth paying someone to do the dirty work for him. Maybe he can even use this opportunity to gather all the other Emperor Lineages to once again eradicate the temple.
After arriving back at the sect, everyone separated. Wang Tian and Yu Yan went to deal with affairs of the sect, Li Jun returned to his trials, and Yan Liling once again enter deep seclusion.
And even Wang Wei also enter a seclusion state. The only idle person was the Empress, who has taken a new interest in drinking and brewing her own modern wine.
After entering his seclusion room inside his Sacred Son Mountain, he began to use the new ability he unlocked. During his mental breakdown, after understanding the relationship between Fate and Free Will, he developed the ability to see the Nexus of Fate; to be precise, his Nexus of Fate.
The future was changeable–especially for powerful cultivators. However, certain events in their lives are destined to happen–no matter the choices they make in their lives: that\'s their Nexus of Fate.
After taking a deep breath, he began to read his Fate Line, focusing on the future. He saw himself standing in an empty void, then, a giant scythe appeared and cut him. The scythe did not leave any wound on his body but severed his Fate Line.
Then, his soul, body, and Dao were extinguished,
After watching this, for a brief moment, he could not control himself and release his aura, shaking the entire mountain. Luckily, he rapidly controlled himself.
\'I\'m dead future? What\'s going on? And what\'s with the scythe? Does it represent someone or just the manifestation of my death?\'
Divination can sometimes be as clear as day, and sometimes, it requires interpretation. So, the scythe could represent someone or just an image that shows his death.
Wang Wei calmed himself down before using the technique again, however, no matter how many times he checked, the result is the same. So, quickly accepted the fact that his technique was functioning properly and began to plan.
There is no way that he would accept his death so easily; he has to change his fate. He immediately began to cast a divination to determine whether that scythe was referring to a specific person who would kill him but he ended empty-handed no matter how much he tried–even if he used the 8 Trigram Turtle Shell.
Then, he tried to divine the cause of his death but also failed. Without hesitation, he summoned his Physique\'s Vision that absorbed the River of Fate of the Heavenly Abode World.
Using that river, he resonated with the River of Fate branch connected to the Myriad Emperor World and summoned it. He jumped into that gray river made of strings to accomplish his divination.
This time, he got an answer; to be precise two words: Heavenly Dao.
\'It\'s that thing again!\' thought Wang Wei with a frown. \'Why is it targeting me? Could it be sentient? I need to find out.\'
He flew out of his mansion to rush to talk to someone but once he got outside, he saw many people floating and waiting for him. Because of his sudden release of aura, many people feared that he was taken by Heart Demon again and rushed to see if he was alright.
"Wei\'er, what\'s wrong?" asked Yu Yan.
Wang Wei looked at the people around and motioned to them that he was alright. Then, he took his family into his mansion and explained the situation.
"You foresaw your death?" asked Yu Yan with a very ugly look on her face. She understood that her son\'s physique was very good at divination and he would never make a mistake–especially with his meticulous personality. So, this is very likely to be true.
She had just recently lost both her father and mother, she did not think she could bear it if she lost her only son. However, she was not willing to accept this news, so she looked at Wu Hong, who seemed to be a little distracted.
After being nudged to reality, she took a mirror that scanned Wang Wei\'s body before frowning. "Your fate has indeed been severe."
That meant that he was a walking dead man.
\'How could the butterfly effect be this large? This should not have happened. Plus, I feel like I\'m missing something important," thought Wu Hong before looking at Wang Wei and saying: "Give me a moment, I will go check something out."
Then, she disappeared from the room.
Taking this opportunity, Wang Wei asked his father about his theory that Heavenly Dao has consciousness and was targeting him. However, his father quickly dismissed his theory.
"That\'s impossible.:
"Why?"
"Because our Founding Father, The Sword Empress, made sure of that."
"More information please."
"A little secret known to only the heads of each clan is that the Sword Empress was not born in the Myriad Emperor World, but from another Heaven Will World. When the Qiyuan Emperor was on his journey to forge the Origin System, he was saved by her after being injured.
"Her world was one where Heavenly Dao was conscious, and it had placed a seal on her talent."
"A seal? Why?"
"Her talent for the sword was so great that Heavenly Dao feared it, so it was sealed at the moment of her birth. So, after being healed, the founder took her with him on his voyage and they became sworn sisters and brothers. He helped her remove the seal and also guided her on the path of cultivation.
"After proving the Dao and becoming an Eternal Emperor, the Sword Empress of course returned home to deal with Heavenly Dao."
Wang Tian briefly paused before continuing:
"According to records in the Secret Archive, whatever occurred in the Null Era made it so that many worlds in the Endless Void had their Heavenly Dao corrupted and gained sentience.
"And the Sword Empress traveled to all these worlds and vanquish these consciousnesses. She even used her supreme power to ensure that no worlds in the Endless Void–no matter the grade–will ever gain sentience again.\'
\'Did she use a technique similar to Absolute Beginning Emperor\'s magic and Wu Hong\'s seal? No wonder those people from the Beginning Profound Continent knew of her existence,\' thought Wang Wei.
"Is that why her scripture is called the Heaven Slashing Scripture? She has slashed Heaven, no, Heavens."
"Most likely, yes."
Wang Wei paused for a moment before indicating with his hand: "Even if Heavenly Dao is not targeting me, they are still connected to my death. As such, we need to find more information."
"Do you have a plan?"
"Yes, we\'ll head to the Heaven Mystery Pavillion."
