Chapter 407: Causality_2

The people of the Blood Axe Gang made wishes upon me, unaware that the decay aura on me was extremely intense. After coming into contact with it, one by one, their ends were naturally miserable.

Fang Zhixing was speechless for a moment. Were Heavenly People really so lacking in dignity?

He thought for a moment and asked, "The decay aura stored inside my body, what will it do to me?"

Tian Luo slowly said, "I have set a seal inside you, you actually haven’t come into direct contact with much of the decay aura. Once I successfully overcome the tribulation, I will unlock the seal and ensure your safety."

Little Ax interjected, "Give me a break; crossing the tribulation is uncontrollable. You yourself can hardly suppress the decay aura, how useful can a mere seal be? Not to mention, you have no idea when you will wake up."

He stared at Fang Zhixing and said seriously, "Your end should have been completely eroded by the decay aura, dying a horrific death."

Fang Zhixing’s breathing paused, and he looked deeply at Tian Luo with a profound gaze.

But Tian Luo remained unflappable and calmly said, "From the result, not only were you not eroded by the decay aura, but you also benefited from the misfortune. Your strength now, it should be unmatched among your peers, correct?"

Fang Zhixing couldn’t deny this point; he had noticed it long ago.

When he had first practiced Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Skill, if he didn’t consume blood, he was no match for the early-stage martial artists of the minor clans within the Nine Ox Realm.

But now, having reached the Demon Transformation Second Stage, he was nearly sweeping through the mid-stage martial artists of the same small clans in the Nine Ox Realm.

This was clearly not an effect brought by the cultivation technique alone!

It was, rather, some transformation within him.

Tian Luo laughed and said, "Under the influence of the decay aura, you unleashed powerful potential and your body underwent incredible changes, boosting your strength significantly!"

Little Ax scoffed and said, "This benefit wasn’t something you gave him; he fought for it himself. What credit are you taking?"

Tian Luo, with an air of righteousness, said, "I’ve already said that it’s a win-win situation! He has grown stronger because of me, and I have successfully passed the tribulation because of him."

He looked towards Fang Zhixing and stated solemnly, "All causes and effects start and end with you."

Fang Zhixing pondered thoughtfully.

Honestly, during this time, he had encountered unprecedented chaotic situations, with all sorts of messy and baffling events following one another.

After all this time, was it all caused by himself?

After obtaining the power of the Heavenly People, he couldn’t control that level of power, resulting in him sabotaging himself!

What about Xigou?

Had Xigou also been affected by the power of the Heavenly People?

No!

Perhaps it was because, back then, Fang Zhixing wanted Xigou to find a way out of the dreamscape. Driven by his wish, Xigou actually managed to escape.

Fang Zhixing didn’t want to discuss Xigou with Tian Luo or Little Ax.

From their reactions, it seemed they couldn’t see Fang Zhixing’s system panel, and likely didn’t know about the mental communication he could have with Xigou.

Even the Heavenly People couldn’t detect the presence of cheats!

Fang Zhixing kept silent, then couldn’t help but probe, "Where do the Heavenly People come from? Is that what martial artists become at the end of their cultivation?"

Tian Luo and Little Ax exchanged looks, their expressions somewhat complex.

After a while, Tian Luo said softly, "To be honest, we don’t know where the Heavenly People come from, either."

Fang Zhixing was immediately stunned, his face full of suspicion.

Tian Luo said with a wry smile, "I’m not lying. The Heavenly People have the Five Declines, and each tribulation’s outcome is uncontrollable.

For instance, when you met me, I indeed was a woman. After the tribulation, I turned into a man.

Moreover, with each tribulation, we lose most of our memories.

Just like the time before last, when I woke up, I had completely lost my memory, not remembering who I was at all."

Little Ax sighed, "Each tribulation, for us Heavenly People, is essentially like being reborn."

He looked at himself and said with an air of gravity, "This child’s appearance I have now is one of the results of the last tribulation. I lost my memory too, but I am quite sure, I am most likely an old monster who has lived for over a thousand years."

Fang Zhixing asked, "Besides you, are there other Heavenly People?"

"Oh, yes!"

Little Ax answered, "From what I’ve observed, there are Heavenly People stationed in all the clans, but we dare not contact each other lightly."

Fang Zhixing asked, perplexed, "Why?"

Tian Luo replied, "Because the only one who can kill a Heavenly Person is another Heavenly Person.

Moreover, after a Heavenly Person kills another, it seems they can enhance their own power. The more they kill, the stronger they become!"

Fang Zhixing glanced at Tian Luo and Little Axe, retorting, "Aren’t you two friends?"

Tian Luo laughed softly, dismissing the idea.

Little Axe shook his head and said, "If it weren’t for you, he and I would have already clashed."

"Because of me?!"

Fang Zhixing felt a chill in his heart and became alert.

Tian Luo said with a smile that was not quite a smile, "You are a fine vessel."

Little Axe rubbed his hands together, grinning, "I’m about to undergo Tribulation too."

Fang Zhixing’s face turned cold as frost, and he said through gritted teeth, "It’s not very nice for you two Heavenly People to bully me like this."

Tian Luo waved his hand and said, "I have already succeeded in my Tribulation, this has nothing to do with me anymore."

Little Axe rolled his eyes and scoffed, "So you just want to abandon me after crossing the river? You should be aware that I can make you fail your Tribulation at any time."

Tian Luo said calmly, "Yes, of course, I know you want to devour me, but can you really handle it? Devouring me might make you stronger, but the decaying aura inside you would go berserk. Can you survive the next Tribulation?"

Little Axe said coldly, "Similarly, you can’t devour me right now. You are a fresh Heavenly body with limitless potential, and I am nearing my Tribulation. If you devour me, my decaying aura will immediately corrode you."

"Hmm, you’re right. The best time to devour you is after you have successfully undergone your Tribulation."

Tian Luo spoke the most horrifying words in the calmest tone.

Little Axe smiled eerily, unfazed, "The feeling is mutual."

"Devour?!"

Fang Zhixing held his breath, his eyes darting between Tian Luo and Little Axe, feeling an immense chill washing over him.

He took a deep breath and said calmly, "You two Heavenly People, I only broke through the situation by a sheer fluke, and even I am confused about how I did it."

He looked at Little Axe and said earnestly, "If you insist on choosing me as a sacrifice, the consequences are unpredictable."

Little Axe chuckled and said, "Don’t be in a hurry; just listen to me first. You help me this time, and I won’t let you suffer; there are plenty of benefits."

He took out a rectangular object from his chest, pitch-black, seemingly made of Black Jade, and tossed it to Fang Zhixing.

He said, "Take this Black Jade Plate, go to ’Six Void Sect’ and claim kinship, just say you are my Direct Disciple, they will treat you like an ancestor, at your beck and call."

Fang Zhixing caught the Black Jade Plate, his face full of confusion.

Tian Luo raised an eyebrow and said, "So, the Six Void Sect is your creation?"

Little Axe glanced sidelong and said, "Why, haven’t you ever established any forces?"

Tian Luo rubbed his temples and replied, "Maybe I have, but I can’t remember."

Little Axe continued, "You should have left a record before undergoing your Tribulation. Think hard about where you put it."

Tian Luo pondered for a moment, looked around, and his gaze suddenly fell on a shattered giant eggshell.

He raised a hand and beckoned.

The fragments of the eggshell immediately lifted off the ground, rotating in mid-air, quickly fitting together to form a perfect square.

Tian Luo scanned it briefly, then with a flick of his hand, the square instantly shattered into dust, dispersing with the wind.

Fang Zhixing also stole a glance but saw nothing.

"Well, that’s that,"

Little Axe said decisively, "Now you, go wait for me at Six Void Sect."

Fang Zhixing smiled wryly, "It seems I have no other choice."

Little Axe waved his hand and said, "Don’t look so downhearted, as if I’m forcing you into something dishonorable. I’m telling you the truth, I have several plans prepared for this Tribulation, and you’re just one option; I might not even need you."

Fang Zhixing’s expression quickly returned to normal, and he asked, "Where is Six Void Sect, and how do I get there?"

Little Axe replied, "Look at the back of the Jade Token. There’s a map to guide you."
