Chapter 1450: Chapter 685: Intersecting Singularities

"Hmm hmm, oh oh, tsk tsk, so that’s how it is, that’s how it is. You are the master of the Sword Sect, but you’re not Shen Dan. Someone altered your fate against destiny, allowing you to be born into the clan’s royal womb and also received my Supreme Daoist Inheritance, no wonder you can see me.

Furthermore, that person not only sent you through time and space, but it seems they also altered my destiny. Wow~ Time-space travel is truly powerful~"

The Qingxu Second Primordial Spirit pinched his fingers and calculated, exclaiming his wonder while fingers moved as if plucking flowers, capturing wind and shadows. At first glance, he appeared like a sea anemone twitching its tentacles. At the same time, he displayed the anomaly of a Heavenly Human, his eyes splitting into hundreds of facets like the compound eyes of insects, resembling individual television screens, swiftly revealing countless reflections across countless realms.

Tie Dan didn’t speak for a moment nor did he draw his sword, instead he fell into a state of shock.

He had once read in the Daoist Collection about the highest level of mystic arithmetic, which is the method of reverse deduction, seeing the result and knowing the cause, tracing back three worlds and three lives, calculating up to twelve hundred years. Yet he had never seen any Calculator Master as remarkable as this before, assuming it was merely the Mystic Sect’s tradition, exaggerating with excessive adjectives in the Daoist Collection’s appendices.

Now, however, he had witnessed this supreme arithmetic.

Yuqingzi’s Qingxu Second Primordial Spirit could actually discern his background with just a glance, and even deduce the hidden power behind it, which is... slightly too...

"Not that difficult, actually. More experience means broader knowledge. Firstly, I once saw that time-space blind man, secondly, I saw the real Shen Dan draw his sword, and thirdly, I played a game of chess with that Grand Tutor. With these key factors, naturally, one can see through the layout on the chessboard.

However, what arithmetic deduces is ultimately the past that has already transpired. The future that hasn’t occurred yet can only be speculated based on common sense and logic. As for the happening present, it’s constantly changing, dazzlingly diverse, not entirely graspable in a single glance."

The Second Primordial Spirit blinked, returning to a human-like appearance, looking at Tie Dan,

"Don’t kill Chen Xiyi; he’s a good kid, spent his life slaying demons, never did anything dishonorable... Oh, delaying someone else’s life might count, in that case, go ahead and kill him."

Tie Dan raised his eyebrows, looking at him, momentarily silent.

"Don’t worry, I don’t intend to play any tricks. I couldn’t even if I wanted to."

The Second Primordial Spirit clasped his hands behind his back, gazing at the clouds on the horizon,

"I’m not a bug, I have no soul nor corpse, just an imprint on the Daoist path, a projection Yuqingzi used to store accumulated knowledge from past lives’ Daoist Collection. Specifically serving as a dream Immortal, imparting Dao and teaching special lessons. Similar to the Dao awareness avatar prepared by the Space-Time Taoist Ancestor for you.

So whether you kill Chen Dewei or Chen Xiyi, it’s all insignificant. Ultimately, aren’t you going to make him your disciple anyway, thus still passing on the Mystic Sect orthodox, Supreme Daoist Inheritance. As long as you don’t destroy him completely, when he reincarnates, I can still transmit the Daoist Collection to him. I’m advising you for your own benefit.

If you truly intend to sever the karma of three lifetimes past, then killing Chen Xiyi, the next obstacle would be Yuqingzi himself. Not to mention whether you actually have the ability to kill me, in reality, tangling with me in a dream for thousands of years, wasting your energy here, outside, won’t the opportunity pass you by? Isn’t that concerning?"

Tie Dan frowned.

And the Second Primordial Spirit, with a wave of his sleeve, the mountain Daoist field rippled like water waves, transforming into the multilayered palaces of the Immortal Palace, then in front of Tie Dan appeared a familiar courtyard. It was the place where Liu Xiaoliu and the sheep used to play chess.

Except this time, sitting in front of the Heavenly Dao Simulator were Chen Xiyi and Liu Xiaoliu, both in the Nascent Soul Realm. Chen Xiyi sat where the sheep sat, looking a bit older than before, mostly because a beard had grown on his face. Liu Xiaoliu still held the white pieces, but appeared younger than before, seeming like a noble family’s son with elegance, holding a fluffy white cat.

The Second Primordial Spirit approached behind Chen Xiyi, stroked his beard while observing the situation on the chessboard, explaining to Tie Dan,

"Back then, I hadn’t realized he was a reincarnation of an Outer Heavenly Dao awareness, only heard of a brilliant figure from the Immortal Gate, not only subduing the Three Constellations Immortal Gate and manipulating the Immortal Venerable’s offspring like a string puppet, but also gaining loyalty from the Kunlun Outer Path, enlisting demons under his command, even preemptively resolving a great calamity in Kunzhou.

Originally, this calamity should have been suppressed by me, the Western Guardian. Although it saved me much trouble, it caused me to lose many opportunities, possibly delaying my cultivation and enlightenment progress.

Thus, the urge arose to see what sort of person he truly was, played a game with him, but was carelessly caught in his scheme, fell into his palms, eventually having all opportunities seized from me, thrown to undercover in the Sword Sect."

As soon as the Second Primordial Spirit finished speaking, Chen Xiyi and Liu Xiaoliu started fighting, making moves and counters while playing chess, one using Qingcheng Swordsmanship, the other wielding the Blood Talisman Divine Sword. Predictably, the outcome was obvious.

Every move of Chen Xiyi was known by Liu Xiaoliu, able to defend and break, with weaknesses clearly revealed, but Liu Xiaoliu’s moves were unknown to Chen Xiyi, and as they were evenly matched, with something held back, the difference widened instantly, naturally leading to his death under the Blood Sword.

No...
