All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes

Chapter 823: Chapter 151: Origins

It was inevitable that Mou Yunying would be defeated.

What was surprising was how quickly and suddenly he lost, and the strength An Jing displayed shocked everyone.

"I didn’t quite understand their attack and defense..."

Nearby, Mi Xinghan frowned and softly said to Yue Yunhe, "I understood the dismantling of the Sword Array at the beginning, and I could see through Old Mou’s ’Dawn Sword Qi,’ which had defeated me last time."

"But how did An Jing break through Old Mou’s Protective Gang Qi? When he activated the Dawn Sword Qi, he was protected by the Water and Fire Dragon and Tiger Gang Qi, with Yin and Yang interwoven, and the Five Elements were restricted. How did An Jing break through it and knock out Mou Yunying with one strike?"

"It’s very simple."

Yue Yunhe watched intently. Being the eldest and most experienced among the True Disciples, he naturally saw through An Jing’s remarkable move: "Water and Fire can condense Yin and Yang, so why can’t the other Five Elements?"

"An Jing just used five different types of Fiendish Qi and condensed them into the Five Weapons Thunder Light, comparable to Yin Yang Sword Qi. It exploded in an instant, just enough to shatter Mou Yunying’s Protective Gang Qi and then knock him out with a palm strike."

Shi Liang nodded beside him. This young martial uncle also saw through it: "At that moment, An Jing was using ten skills simultaneously, with impeccable technique. It was terrifying. Is this the true level of a Heaven’s Chosen?"

As one of the outstanding True Disciples, Shi Liang had great confidence in his own strength. He had also sparred with the True Disciples of the Taiming Sect and didn’t think their True Disciples were any better, maybe even weaker.

If that’s the case, then how much stronger could the Heaven’s Chosen of the Upper Gate of Heavenly Ancestor be?

If An Jing was the answer, then they are much stronger.

"Anyone else?"

After lowering the sleeping Mou Yunying, An Jing looked around and saw everyone who was eager to try had fallen into deep thought.

Fighting An Jing would surely result in progress, and Mou Yunying would definitely gain a lot from his defeat. The same would happen to anyone else, but should they challenge now...

They realized that the later they challenge, the more real techniques they would see and the more they would gain!

Thus, instead of striving to be first, the True Disciples began to make way for each other: "Luo, you’re the poorest, why don’t you go first?"

"No, no, Zuo, you’re faster, you go first!"

Among the commotion, the sleeping Mou Yunying woke up. His eyes were initially confused, but soon cleared up: "I lost... so quickly!"

He mocked himself, and An Jing smiled beside him, saying, "You are already very strong. If you had a good Magic Artifact or even a Divine Weapon, and went all out, the threat you posed could definitely surpass both He Wending and Ye Yue Long of Red Tower City combined."

"You also didn’t use your elixir reserves this time. If it were a life-and-death battle, you could have not only injured me but possibly stalled me for a long time."

"Haha, you flatter me."

Mou Yunying shook his head and sighed: "Even if I used them, so what? You also have Divine Weapons, elixirs, and aces up your sleeve. Though it’s a spar, it’s still a form of actual combat."

"This time, I indeed gained a lot and identified many flaws in my combat techniques."

"Hmm."

An Jing nodded, "I look forward to your progress in the True Inheritance Competition."

"I feel you don’t even need to participate."

Before Mou Yunying could respond, Bai Luo said, "With your strength, there’s no need to compete. If you do, one exhibition match would suffice. No one in the younger generation could be your match. Maybe only a few from the older generation could stand against you."

"Indeed." "Agreed." "Absolutely." "I concur."

Everyone nodded at these words. Being floored by An Jing in private sparring was one thing, but there was no need to lose face in front of all Bright Mirror Sect disciples in three breaths! No one saw the point.

As the pillars of the sect trained with dedication, their abilities were unquestionable. They cared not for fame but for honing their skills. Winning and losing was meaningless; what mattered was the refinement.

However, sparring could be a little restrained, an exchange of moves. But on the stage, everyone would fight seriously, and An Jing could likely achieve a one-hit kill!

In such a scenario, there would be neither gain nor fame. Why bother!

"You discuss who will challenge An Jing first."

Mou Yunying shook his head and then, feeling somewhat embarrassed, grabbed An Jing. Seeing his hesitant look, An Jing reassured him, "Don’t be too stressed. I am a Divine Mandate and have undergone many disasters, with a Divine Weapon residing in me. It’s normal you couldn’t defeat me."

"No, what I want to ask is..."

Mou Yunying struggled for a moment but finally asked, "Dare I ask... Do you have a Subdue Evil attached to you?"

"Yes."

An Jing nodded. This was something all major factions knew, so it was not surprising for the Bright Mirror Sect True Transmission to know—a Heaven’s Chosen possessed by an ancient Emperor Weapon fragment was quite normal; many Middle and Upper Gates had such history inherited from their ancestors.

"That Subdue Evil must possess the Taixu Divine Power..."

Halfway through his sentence, Mou Yunying suddenly sighed deeply and then bowed deeply to An Jing: "My impudence."

After saying this, he left An Jing in confusion.

"What’s with Mou?"

An Jing grabbed Luo Qinghui, who was familiar with Mou Yunying, and this Talisman Skills sister laughed: "Oh, it’s an old habit of his—you don’t know Old Mou’s background, do you?"

"I don’t."

An Jing replied, "I just see his white hair and thought he belonged to a special tribe."

Nearby, Mi Xinghan joined the conversation: "Indeed. Old Mou is a ’Pure Land People,’ a common tribe in the Ancient Dao Court Era. Pure Land refers to a small cave heaven suspended beyond the Great Heaven and Earth. It’s said that the small cave heavens and worlds around Embracing the Void could form a Heavenly River, and the Pure Land People were the ones who developed these cave heavens and small worlds."

"Old Mou’s origins are mysterious. He fell from the sky like a meteor, wrapped in an Artifact, as a baby. He initially fell into a pasture under Bright Mirror Sect’s jurisdiction and was cared for by childless herdsmen."

"He was normal at first, but as he grew, he gradually exhibited extraordinary talents—unlike us, Old Mou could naturally control Water and Fire from a young age, making his parents think he awakened an innate Fate Pattern. But when our martial masters investigated during recruitment, they found that Old Mou had no Fate Pattern; it was all his natural talent."

"Moreover, he had unknowingly been infected with Demonic Qi, which terrified everyone. A True Person from the sect immediately expelled the Demonic Qi and suppressed his innate Divine Abnormality, stabilizing his condition."
