Chapter 967 - 962: Fei Xue’s Origin

Chapter 967: Chapter 962: Fei Xue’s Origin

Although he was full of ambition at first, itching to go all out immediately, after an on-site inspection, Lü Yang instantly discovered an awkward problem:

"Rinima, where is the Bhagavat?"

Five thousand years ago, during the late stage of the thousand-year great tribulation, the Celestial Mansion had already been beaten back, and even True Monarch Gangxing was still at his peak. The entire Immortal Pivot could be said to be enjoying peace and prosperity.

However, Lü Yang didn’t know what to do. Where was the so-called greatest Change Cause and Effect in history that the Bhagavat had mentioned? He couldn’t fucking see it.

"Right, orthodox history never had any Change Cause and Effect. Today’s history has long been pinched into the shape the Bhagavat wanted; it’s the result of modification. It’s normal that I can’t see it... But then, how can I hitch a ride? The Bhagavat isn’t fooling me, is he?"

Lü Yang felt a bit of a headache. In orthodox history, the Bhagavat attained his Dao 129,600 years ago. The karmic links of history had long been modified, so the Bhagavat’s Attainment naturally ceased to exist. Under these circumstances, who should he look for? Should he go straight to the Pure Land?

"No way!"

Lü Yang instantly snuffed out the thought in his mind. It wasn’t because he worried the Bhagavat would set him up, but because the Saint Sect Ancestral Master was still chasing after him right now.

"The Saint Sect Ancestral Master still has to keep an eye on the Netherworld now, so he definitely can’t go all out to find me, but he can certainly focus his surveillance on a few key people... My Change Cause and Effect is obviously in collusion with the Bhagavat. If I were the Saint Sect Ancestral Master, I would definitely guard the Pure Land strictly.

"If I go to the Pure Land, it’s equivalent to walking right into a trap!"

Then where else could he go?

Suddenly, Lü Yang’s eyes lit up slightly. "Pseudo-History! That’s right, orthodox history has already been fully modified, so it can’t be found, but Pseudo-History is different."

However, he soon slumped in dejection.

"No, the Pseudo-History is also fucking inside the Stain Sect. And as far as I know, the Pseudo-History was originally created by the Saint Sect Ancestral Master in the first place. Running in there?"

What was the difference between that and suicide?

Thinking of this, Lü Yang couldn’t help scratching his head, inwardly cursing. "There are no flaws. No wonder this old undying freak could finally achieve the Attainment of the Constant!"

Guarding so strictly, he had done it too thoroughly! Every karmic flaw he could think of carried risks. As a result, he struggled to take a single step in the landscape of karmic links, not knowing how to break the deadlock.

"How about... trying to start with a person?" Lü Yang changed his perspective and continued thinking, "To enter the Pseudo-History, I don’t necessarily have to take the official entrance. Smuggling in using karmic links is actually possible."

After all, he now had the augmentation of the Fruit Arcana and an Overlord-level Dao Weapon. His application of the Fruit of Rampart Earth had almost reached the peak. As long as someone possessed the karmic links of both orthodox history and Pseudo-History, he could enter through their karmic line in orthodox history and then come out from the other end’s Pseudo-History karmic line.

Then, who could it be? Someone who had the karmic links of both orthodox history and Pseudo-History, yet had actually left the Pseudo-History to walk in the Current World, giving him a chance to seize the opportunity...

At this thought, a name naturally popped out:

"Fei Xue!"

Lü Yang immediately grew excited. Right now, World Purger Fei Xue... oh, wait, she hadn’t started Seeking Gold yet. At this time, she should be Foundation-Stage Cultivator Xue Feihong.

Thinking of this, Lü Yang immediately looked at Minor Metal and the Primordial Celestial Demon beside him, smiling. "I’ll have to trouble you two to find World Purger Fei Xue for me."

As his voice fell, the Primordial Celestial Demon and Minor Metal nodded without any hesitation. They had already realized the heaven-sent opportunity that had fallen upon them—after all, this journey through karmic links was augmented by the Tribulation. For Heart Demons like them, this was Cultivation delivered right to their doorstep!

Not to mention, they already had this intention to begin with. There was no need to mention the Primordial Celestial Demon; he was quite happy to see the collapse of the Other Shore. As for Minor Metal, he placed more importance on what Lü Yang had said earlier: "Go to the mountaintop!"

The Other Shore was hard to seek, and the mountaintop was hard to climb. Minor Metal was by no means a fool; how could he not understand that Lü Yang’s actions were a good thing for all Cultivators?

Soon, two gusts of gloomy wind swept out. Five thousand years ago, Heart Demons had yet to be born into the world. The methods of the Primordial Celestial Demon and Minor Metal were even more unknown to anyone. Unless a Great Perfected Lord emerged, almost no one could detect them. And at this time, the Great Perfected Lord version hadn’t even been released yet.

Therefore, Lü Yang was very reassured about the two of them. He merely attached his Spiritual perception to them to ensure he could grasp the situation at any time, lest any unexpected incidents occur.

Before long, the gloomy wind arrived at the Sea of Clouds. Drifting in, with Minor Metal—the personal disciple of World Purger Fei Xue—present, they effortlessly found Foundation-Stage Cultivator Xue Feihong from five thousand years ago. However, when Lü Yang activated his Spiritual perception and took a look, he was almost dumbfounded.

What entered his sight was a young girl. Unlike World Purger Fei Xue from five thousand years later, the current Xue Feihong hadn’t yet reached the point where her hair fell to her waist, nor did she possess the elegance of a classical gentlewoman. Instead, she looked more like a lively maidservant.

When Lü Yang saw her, she was being besieged. Yet she wasn’t the least bit afraid. On the contrary, she stood with her hands on her hips, laughing heartily. While stepping barefoot on the river, she casually unleashed her Abilities to suppress her attackers. She was unbelievably heroic and bold.

However, this wasn’t the reason Lü Yang was dumbfounded. After all, Foundation-Stage Cultivators had long since fallen out of his sights. What truly left him dumbfounded were the karmic links on Fei Xue.

"That is... the Constant!?"

That’s right. Although it was very blurry and he couldn’t see the specific details clearly, after receiving the augmentation of the Fruit of Rampart Earth, Lü Yang could vaguely see many things.

"I’m absolutely not mistaken. There is a Constant on Fei Xue!"

In an instant, Lü Yang gasped.

"How long has this Constant been following Fei Xue? It hasn’t been following her the whole time, has it? If so, the Saint Sect Ancestral Master is even more terrifying than I imagined!"

Before this, Lü Yang always thought that the Constant in the Netherworld was the Saint Sect Ancestral Master’s first move, and dealing with him was the second. However, looking at it now, if World Purger Fei Xue also had a Constant on her, the Saint Sect Ancestral Master wasn’t just fighting a two-front war—he was fighting a three-front war!

"However... this makes sense."

For the longest time, Lü Yang had been very curious: with World Purger Fei Xue’s personality, how could she actually hack her way through thorns and thistles in a Broken Place like the Stain Sect, going all the way to become a Perfected Lord?

This was definitely not just a matter of strength. No matter how high one’s strength was, could a Foundation Establishment cultivator fight back against a Perfected Lord? In the Stain Sect, having strength alone was not enough. After all, with the Upper Cultivators oppressing layer by layer, you had to know how to curry favor, understand conspiracies, and have ruthless methods to truly grow up.

Yet World Purger Fei Xue had stubbornly risen to power, and she did so with striking suddenness. The moment she broke through, she even directly suppressed the Stain Sect’s veteran Golden Core, the True Monarch of Contained Light and Floating Heaven. It made one unable to help but wonder: what was the True Monarch of Contained Light and Floating Heaven doing before that? Why didn’t he nip Fei Xue in the bud?

Then there were the forces outside the Stain Sect. What about the Sword Pavilion? Were they just a bunch of freeloaders too? The Stain Sect produced a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator who excelled at Combat; why didn’t they quickly kill her and send her into the Sword Pavilion to enjoy eternal peace?

However, now, Lü Yang reached an epiphany.

"I misunderstood the True Monarch of Contained Light and Floating Heaven. It’s absolutely not that he didn’t try. He might have even tried more than once, but failed every single time..."

The same went for the other forces. Because World Purger Fei Xue’s growth was a Constant, no matter how tortuous the process, the outcome was already destined... Was she really the Saint Sect Ancestral Master’s biological daughter?

"No, that’s not right."

Lü Yang slapped his forehead. His way of thinking was truly too much like a Lower Cultivator. With the Stain Sect’s style, let alone a biological daughter, they wouldn’t even take care of their own mother like this.

"I should change my train of thought. Fei Xue... is probably a superb talent to the Saint Sect Ancestral Master!

"The kind that cannot be lost.

"Rather than saying this Constant is protecting World Purger Fei Xue’s growth, it’s more accurate to say he is fertilizing his own crop... waiting for the harvest day."

Thinking of this, Lü Yang immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

"This is troublesome."

With this Constant present, he probably couldn’t touch World Purger Fei Xue’s karmic links anymore. Once he triggered the Constant, the giant hand of the Saint Sect Ancestral Master would come down on him. Lü Yang immediately ordered Minor Metal and the Primordial Celestial Demon to retreat.

"Besides Fei Xue, who else is there?

"Someone who simultaneously possesses the karmic links of both orthodox history and Pseudo-History... That batch of Zouyu Descendants in the Stain Sect who came from the Pseudo-History? No, that won’t work. They are the leverage the Saint Sect Ancestral Master uses to manipulate the Bhagavat, which is equally crucial. It’s impossible for the Saint Sect Ancestral Master not to pay attention to them. Seeking them out is no different from seeking out Fei Xue."

Lü Yang once again realized the terror of the Constant. The Saint Sect Ancestral Master’s Constant was by no means just a purely Profound Mysterious Daoist Skill; it was also a method of operating, controlling everything without leaving the slightest flaw!

"...Calm down. The Saint Sect Ancestral Master is definitely not omnipotent.

"The Variable is the underlying logic of the Void Sea of Light. No matter how incredible the Saint Sect Ancestral Master is, it’s impossible for him to control every Variable. There must be a critical flaw somewhere!"

Lü Yang’s gaze turned cold as his thoughts raced. Where was the flaw?
