Novel Full 255 Within His Soul
Yang Lujia had long finished the test of the Azure Dragon, the Black Tortoise, and the Red Qilin. Although the Red Qilin insisted on Yang Lujia not to take part in his test anymore, he still took the test due to his unwavering pride that he could easily uproot from the depths of his soul.
It was just that unknowingly, the Heavenly Mysteries Wolf, had already entered the depths of his soul. In fact, the moment he came into contact with Yang Lujia’s soul, he was driven away and him disappearing without a trace was actually related to this matter.
With that, the Heavenly Mysteries Wolf could not help but click its tongue as it sauntered around Yang Lujia’s soul. Just by walking around, he felt suffocated as though he was going to be obliterated by a second.
“What kind of soul does this kid possess? Why is it insanely strong? I have awakened some of the memories of my ancestors, but they actually did not have any account about someone’s soul being so strong,” the Heavenly Mysteries Wolf muttered.
Looks could deceive a person. If he were to look at this place, where there was the soul of Yang Lujia, he would probably think this was a paradise—but he wished he were only a mortal animal—not someone who possessed some cultivation.
His cultivation made him feel constantly threatened in this place. He used his eyes to deduce and almost met with a backlash. If he were to continue then, wouldn’t he go blind? If that would happen, what would his ancestors think of him?
“Heavenly Mysteries Wolf…” a child-like voice suddenly sounded into the wolf’s ears.
It perked him up and his expression turned solemn. If looks could deceive, so were voices. In his memories, there were several existences out there that had retained their child-like looks even when they already became existences towering above the world.
“I didn’t think I’d encounter someone with a formidable bloodline like you here,” the child-like voice continued, seeing that the Heavenly Mysteries Wolf did not answer to his heed.
The Heavenly Mysteries Wolf’s face was very solemn as he looked around but failed to see anything. Even when he used his eyes to deduce the other party’s location, he was unable to see through anything. It was even more dangerous when he tried to probe into Yang Lujia’s depths.
Every time he thought of trying, a foreboding feeling of peril would always come to his rescue. This way, curiosity could really kill a cat. How could someone like him deduce something that he could not even detect even with his cultivation?
He, a divine beast, whose bloodline did not lose out if compared to the five divine beasts, actually felt threatened. His bloodline was even agitated negatively—it was panicking as though it met its strongest foe!
“Who are you?” the Heavenly Mysteries Wolf asked, forcing itself to calm down.
“I am naturally Yang Lujia’s guide,” the child-like voice echoed. “However, since I’ve brought you into his soul, then you can forget about leaving anymore. However, if you perform well, then this senior of yours right here would grant you amnesty.”
“You’re actually the one who pulled me in? How was that possible?” The Heavenly Mysteries Wolf was dumbfounded.
How powerful one must should be to pull him inside? It had to be known that he had painstakingly focused himself on the Divination Path and had even reached the juncture of breaking through to a higher realm. However, this seemingly unimpressive child-like voice actually sucked him into the soul of the kid without even having the strength to resist.
“You don’t have to overthink things. I am the spirit from Yang Lujia’s soul who took infancy when he was born. If natural-born spirits were born in treasures, it would be safe to say that I am the only natural-born spirit who was born inside a human’s soul. His strength was something that you cannot contend with. Blame yourself for trying to divine his path,” the child-like voice sounded again. “Come to this one’s residence. Let’s have a chat.”
If Yang Lujia were to see this scene, his eyes would really pop up. Contrary to the usual arrogant disposition of this child, he was actually acting like an extremely old man in his prime, comprehending the mysteries of the world at the back of his palm.
“I’m Fortuniel, what’s your name?” the child-like voice said as he surfaced in front of the Heavenly Mysteries Wolf.
When the latter saw his appearance, the Heavenly Mysteries Wolf’s eyes shrank by a fraction. This guy was actually so strong at such a young age. But what surprised him more was that this kid’s face really resembled the current Yang Lujia.
“Staring at me like that for what?” The child asked, smilingly.
Only then did the Heavenly Mysteries Wolf wake up from his stupor. Such a young person was actually reduced to a natural born spirit by somebody—waits! He said before that he was born as a natural treasure—the only difference was that he was born inside Yang Lujia’s soul, condensed from the moment Yang Lujia was transported to this world, appearing inside a very small baby’s body.
And at that time, Yang Lujia, the baby, was already exuding inexhaustible potential. He really couldn’t imagine how strong Yang Lujia would become after entering the peak—or he really did reach an astonishing height at a higher realm than even them in the old generations.
“Your esteemed self, why did you choose to remain inside this boy’s soul? Wouldn’t you be afraid of his will turning against you? Could it be that you also aren’t able to get out of this child’s soul?” the Heavenly Mysteries Wolf asked, his tone turning respectful.
He would be an idiot if he would provoke this child-like existence. Don’t let one’s appearance fool you, this child was definitely stronger than him to be able to conceal himself—that even when using his eyes’ ability, he couldn’t even perceive a hair of this little ancestor’s existence.
“Do I look like I can as I like?” the child-like asked back, rolling his eyes with arms crossed across his chest. “Other than this, I also don’t want to part with this host. Fortuniel has awakened some of his memories. This host is someone with an extraordinary background. If I go along with him, I can only prosper.”
“Your esteemed self’s name is Fortuniel?” the Heavenly Mysteries Wolf accurately guessed.
“Yes. What about yours?”
“Zhi Hao,” the Heavenly Mysteries Wolf replied. “I also have something that I am curious about, Lord Fortuniel.”
Fortuniel nonchalantly looked at the wolf and replied, “Ask away.”
“Do you know about this wolf’s origin—”
“No.”
pa(nd)a no vel The answer was like a bucket of cold water poured on him. The Heavenly Mysteries Wolf was surprised that even this little lord did not know anything at all.
“However, if I recover my memories, I might be able to know about your origins… However, those eyes of yours are really peculiar… you can actually see through someone’s fate… and with that, I suppose you can give them a grade, right?” Fortuniel surmised, rather humanly—different from the tone he would use to converse with Yang Lujia.
“Yes, I only know that the lowest grade of fate or destiny that someone could have is the Red-Grade and the highest is the Violet-Grade. However, I am not sure if there is any other higher grade than the Violet-Grade. This Zhi Hao incurred the ridicule of your esteemed self,” the wolf postured, respectful of Fortuniel.
“I see… it seems like with your current ability, you can’t divine anything with Yang Lujia’s fate. I can also see it. As I am a being that surpasses all life forms, becoming his soul’s natural born spirit, I can perceive all types of laws and only some supreme laws—the laws of fate around this host of mine… is quite dense and even I, being a natural born spirit of his soul can’t see through him…”
The Heavenly Mysteries Wolf was taken aback. He had the same appraisal as this little lord in front of him. It simply hit the mark. He could also see nothing with Yang Lujia’s fate. Every time he tried to do, like what was said, there would be some foreboding and unknowing danger lurking around his heart.
“Your esteemed self actually can’t see his destiny, then how terrifying his destiny would be?”
“You,” Fortuniel called out and looked at the Heavenly Mysteries Wolf.
“Me?” The Heavenly Mysteries Wolf was baffled.
“Yes, you,” the other party replied. “You have the bloodline that carried the laws of fate. It was the kind of bloodline that overlooked the heavens, being able to divine the future prospects or the future itself when you get even stronger. For you, divining a mortal would be as easy as yawning. Hence, do you know the reason why I captured you here?”
Regarding the question thrown at him, the Heavenly Mysteries Wolf was even more confused in his heart.
“I don’t know. Please explain, Lord Fortuniel.”
“Actually, it’s nothing serious. I just want you to accompany me and if by any time he will ask about someone’s prospects and his disciple’s future, you can at least help me out. I don’t have that ability yet. I can only help him aid his cultivation. Although I know he can pull off every mission I put out for him to accomplish, it is also not without reason that there might circumstances where I might need your help to perceive danger. Your instincts, having the bloodline whose laws of fate were so dense, have perceptive greater than me and my host’s.”
