Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Fate of the Heavens

Chapter 414: Chapter 49 Fragments of the Heavens Connection
 

Zhang Xuan immediately became exhilarated.

His current obstacle in practice was the lack of sufficient Heavenly Mandate Vitality. The river before him was made entirely of Yuan Power. Although it possessed the attributes of the Buddhist Sect, as long as he could draw it into the Library of Heaven’s Path, it could transform into books and then metamorphose into pure strength without any attributes.

This was the effect of a cheat device!

Besides, to extract someone else’s River of Destiny, one must first have the cultivation that can counteract fate and not be tainted by others. Next, it requires that others open their fragments of the heavens to him.

The Blue Cloud Venerable, by bringing him here and attempting to convert him, unwittingly gave him this opportunity.

Having comprehended the Love Destiny to the fourth level and accomplished Destiny Establishment, he possessed the ability to counteract and remain untainted by fate. Coupled with having a superior destiny over the opponent, he should be able to suppress it, without suffering from backlash.

All was in readiness!

With a glint in his eye, a strand of Love Silk as thin as a hair, spread quietly from under his feet, connecting with the river below.

In the past, connecting with other destinies was always done passively. This was his first time taking proactive action, and it felt quite satisfying, to say the least.

However, the river before him was immaculate, resembling the extramundane waters of Ruishui River, which bore nothing improper. Upon contact, the Love Silk pierced straight through it without leaving a trace.

Zhang Xuan frowned.

It was easy to conceive, but not as simple to execute.

Each destiny has its own attributes. To merge with it, one must find a commonality. Otherwise, even if two raging rivers collide, they would separate quickly like oil and water.

“The Love Destiny can connect with the Space Destiny, Mo Dao Destiny, and Fox Charm Destiny… because they all involve ’emotion’ in some form.”

To enchant others, the Fox Charm Destiny must first stir up the other’s emotions, creating a favorable impression. Only then can it mingle with the Love Destiny.

The Mo Dao Destiny is the same. Whether it’s an unstoppable momentum or the bravery to cut through the ages, it all relates to emotions. Without emotions as a backing, no matter how powerful a saber art is, it becomes meaningless.

As for the Space Destiny, it seems unrelated to emotions, but those who cultivate it, to wield this power, cannot escape from the shackles of emotion.

Just like his desire to return to Han Yuan City, it surely means there is someone or something there that he worries about or perhaps danger. Whatever the case, it can cause emotional turbulence.

The Space Destiny within the Library of Heaven’s Path is controlled in this very manner by the Love Silk.

“Destiny is a cultivator’s fate. With fate, naturally comes love, hatred, joy, and sorrow. This Blue Cloud Venerable should not be an exception. As long as the connection is found, it can be made…”

Intends flickered through Zhang Xuan’s mind.

At this moment, he saw that this high-ranking monk of the Buddhist Sect was cultivating the ‘Selfless’ Destiny.

This type of destiny requires forgetting oneself, forgetting all emotions, and because of this, it appears exceptionally detached. But even the most detached individuals have their desires.

With desire comes distractions, and from distractions arise love, hate, joy, and sorrow, and from these, Love Silk can be born.

“I guessed correctly. His personal desire is to achieve enlightenment…”

For the Blue Cloud Venerable, whether it’s disciples or teachers, death is just death, causing no emotional ripples. But not achieving enlightenment would undoubtedly ignite a storm of anger.

Without a doubt, this is the defect!

With that thought, the Love Silk extended along the river, and in an instant, it reached a huge wave upstream from where he was located. This must be the turbulent emotional surge caused by the loss of the Frost Demon Lord’s Essence Pill.

The Love Silk flickered, instantaneously transforming into countless emotions and charging towards the wave in front of it. Initially met with resistance, it soon bonded firmly together, inseparable from then on.

“It’s anger and regret…”

Soon, Zhang Xuan was aware of the emotions retained in the surging waves, tightly connecting Love Silk strands and silently mobilizing the Love Destiny. Indeed, he felt the Heavenly Mandate Vitality being drawn into the Library of Heaven’s Path, rustling into book after book.

“It worked…”

Zhang Xuan was excited.

Although the threads were very fine and the flow of Heavenly Mandate Vitality each time wasn’t too much, as time passed, it was not to be underestimated.

At the current speed, as long as he wasn’t discovered, forming one million books a day was not a problem. Most importantly, Love Silk had an extremely strong extensibility. Whenever there was an urgent need for fragments of the heavens, it could instantly expand tenfold, a hundredfold, and then, forming a million or even ten million books in a single breath was highly possible!

That’s great!

With this Love Silk, it’s like holding onto a massive support; there’s no need to worry about the embarrassment of not having enough Heavenly Mandate Vitality for a while.

“Hide!”

Knowing that devouring too much in a short time could easily be discovered, Zhang Xuan intended a thought, and the Love Silk silently concealed itself, no longer leaving any trace.

After doing all this, just as he was feeling relieved, Zhang Xuan heard grand chanting from above his head, resonating once again.

“If you won’t convert now, then when will you?”

The voice was like thunder, ceaselessly assaulting his soul.

It was Qingyun, having seen that half a day had passed and he had yet to convert a cultivator of the Galaxy Realm, growing anxious and unleashing his strongest power!

“Convert my ass…”

Muttering in his mind, just as Zhang Xuan was about to retort, an idea popped up.

If he resisted now and the other party enforced their power, given his strength, it would be hard to escape. It would be better to go along with the plot. After all, once Destiny Establishment is done, Love Destiny would protect the soul, and no matter how many tricks the other side had, he could keep his original intention unaffected.

But how to pretend to convert without being discovered by the other party?

Deceiving a cultivator of the same level was easy for him using Love Destiny and various methods, but the other party was at least a powerhouse of Life Sea Realm 8-dan or above, and it was probably not so easy to bluff his way past.

“Frost Demon Lord!”

Zhang Xuan thought of someone.

At his peak, Frost Demon Lord’s cultivation was not inferior to that of Qingyun, and as a high-ranking member of the Demon Clan and an arch-enemy of the Buddhist Sect, he must have methods to deceive the other party.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to escape smoothly even while bound by the Ten Directions Bodhi Demon Suppression Rope.

With a thought, his consciousness returned to the Library of Heaven’s Path.

“If this guy isn’t willing to speak, then educate him thoroughly, and if that doesn’t work, Soul Search…”

Knowing that the proud Frost Demon Lord might not reveal such secrets, Zhang Xuan wasn’t worried.

Inside the Library of Heaven’s Path, he was the ruler, and controlling an already subdued Essence Pill was not a problem.

Whoosh!

His intention took form as his own visage and appeared in front of the proud and unyielding Demon Lord.

“I have a question to ask you…”

After pausing for a moment, just as he was about to speak, he saw the previously thought to be stubborn and hard to humble Demon Lord suddenly kneel down with one knee, showing a face full of devotion and excitement.

“Master, you are back. Whatever you need your subordinate to do, I am willing to go through fire and water and shatter my body into pieces…”
