Chapter 392: Chapter 391: What is the Mandate of Heaven

Suddenly, Chaoyan teleported over and, seeing Lord Minhuang’s actions, cupped his hands in thanks.

When Lord Minhuang saw Chaoyan appear, he withdrew the barrier he had formed, allowing Chaoyan to set up his own.

He wanted to act as a protector for someone else’s disciple, but wouldn’t he need their trust first?

The surrounding disciples looked enviously at Xie Jiuniang.

Indeed, some people are born under a luckier star.

How could someone else have an epiphany just by watching the excitement?

Chaoyan waved his hand, motioning for the others to disperse.

Xuanyuan You and the others were hesitant, but Chaoyan knew these juniors often mingled with his own disciple,

Chaoyan transmitted his voice: "Go back, don’t get too close to Yuanxi to avoid disturbing her."

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan You and the others quickly cupped their hands in salute and moved away.

Immediately, the area was sealed off by Chaoyan; not to mention people, not even a fly could approach Xie Jiuniang.

Chaoyan became aware of it.

There was more than just an abnormal aura around Xie Jiuniang—within a zhang of space there was also something strange, as if influenced by the Power of Laws.

Chaoyan’s eyes suddenly brightened.

He was in the process of comprehending the Law of Fire, and recently, he had just caught a whiff of an idea and took the opportunity to sit cross-legged not too far away, both to protect his disciple and to seize the chance to understand further.

Before long,

Chaoruo arrived!

Subsequently, several Divinity Transformation experts came.

Everyone came quietly, not making the slightest noise, and if it weren’t for their revealed forms, the sect disciples observing covertly from a distance might not have even noticed them.

The distant disciples were excited.

Seeing so many powerful figures from the sect was indeed thrilling.

But what had the Little Profiteer done this time?

At this moment, Xie Jiuniang had no idea what she had done; she was simply in an inexplicably mystical state, roaming through mountains and rivers, seas and lakes, perceiving the changes through the years, life and death, growth and decay.

She was oblivious to the passage of time, undisturbed by the mundane world.

In a trance, she seemed to see this small world born from chaos, gradually undergoing the creation of heaven and earth, the origin of all things.

Years turned, landscapes evolved.

The prosperity of mankind, ongoing conflicts, she even witnessed the great war between immortals and devils, the earth-shattering cries, the rivers of blood, the devastation. Eventually, the war subsided, the Heavenly Dao saved itself, and the world’s origin was damaged.

As time went by, prosperity slowly returned, initiating the great era of cultivation. As long as the person chosen by the Heavenly Dao ascended, the pathway connecting to the Immortal Realm would open. When the light of ascension descended, a stream of Immortal Qi would surge into the small world, mending the origin.

After years of repair,

The world’s origin was on the verge of recovery, able to support more people’s ascension in the future. However, one Child of Destiny after another perished prematurely, and for tens of thousands of years, there were no more ascensions...

Outsiders were unaware of what kind of opportunity Xie Jiuniang had encountered.

However, the vital energy on her body climbed higher and higher, and her brow twinkled, as if something invisible to others was merging into her brow, causing the small orb of light forming there to continuously expand.

The Time Leaf within her Divine Sense also surfaced.

It was flickering, shining with a dazzling silver light, and along with the faint silver radiance surrounding her, it lingered around her.

In the end, the silver light gradually integrated into her body...

"Is it the Power of Laws?"

An envious Divinity Transformation expert from afar lamented, "What kind of Law is this? It feels very strong!"

"This is her Golden Core stage, right? Right?"

Someone disbelieved.

Comprehending Laws at the Golden Core stage, how powerful will she be once she reaches Divinity Transformation?!

Another person grew even more envious, "It turns out that observing gossip can also lead to enlightenment. We were just too rigid in the past, hiding in secret realms to cultivate. What’s the point? We should engage with the world."

"You’re right. This girl is way too worldly..."

"A generation’s prodigy, overly demonic in nature; it’s uncertain whether it’s good or bad. Remember, whenever chaos rises, so does a demon."

"Would you dare repeat that statement in front of Chaoyan?"

"This Lord merely had a casual insight; do not take it seriously. If it were to be spread, it would surely be related to you."

"Give me a break, I didn’t hear anything."

Not only did several Divinity Transformation masters appear.

In the shadows, some Divinity Transformation masters who received the news came to watch, hoping to chance upon an opportunity, and perhaps gain some enlightenment. Among them were the elderly Yan and the couple, Xuan Qing.

The three of them knew slightly more than the others.

In the Southeast Sea Region, they had once seen Xie Jiuniang wield the Power of Laws.

Many genius Sect Disciples from various sects rushed towards Fafeng after receiving the message.

But they were blocked and could not get close.

They could only watch from a distance.

They could barely make out the tiny silhouette suspended in mid-air, the size of a grain of rice, too small to see clearly with the naked eye, and attempts to use Divine Sense were blocked.

Some were not discouraged and tried to continue using Divine Sense to observe, only to be warned by someone.

Lin Wangchen stood at a certain spot on Fafeng.

He gazed down at Xie Jiuniang with an unfathomable and complex expression.

This incident involving the Mo Family of Medical Immortal Valley inexplicably involved him, and the instigator behind it was very likely Xie Jiuniang herself.

He had no evidence, yet his intuition told him it was her...

The moment all the silver light vanished, Xie Jiuniang slowly opened her eyes and felt that everything around her was different.

"Dog owner, you’re showing off again!"

Jian Lingyan hurriedly reminded her, "All the Divinity Transformation masters from the sect are here, all eyeing you like a piece of fat meat."

"You’re the fat meat!"

Xie Jiuniang adamantly refused to be considered fat meat.

So, she transmitted a message to Chaoyan, "Master, save me!"

Chaoyan couldn’t help but chuckle, instantly appearing beside Xie Jiuniang and whisking her away.

The speed of a Divinity Transformation master was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, there was no sign of them.

Xie Jiuniang only felt a moment of dizziness, and then she was on top of Zhengyang Peak.

Chaoyan gave her a look, "Do you need to go into seclusion?"

"I need to." Xie Jiuniang did indeed need to go into seclusion at this time.

"Then you go back first, but you must come out of seclusion before the sect departs for the Secret Realm," Chaoyan reminded her.

Xie Jiuniang nodded and bowed to Chaoyan, "Thank you, Master, for protecting me this time."

"Now you remember your manners. Go into seclusion quickly. Thanks to you, I have gained a deeper understanding of the Laws," Chaoyan said, clearly in a very good mood.

Xie Jiuniang returned to her own cave dwelling.

And went into seclusion again.

Sitting in meditation on the cushion, she recalled the insights she had just experienced, pondering them over and over until she broke out in a cold sweat.

This time it was likely the consciousness of the world, that is, the Heavenly Dao, subtly revealing the truth to her, rather than her own wild speculations.

What is destiny?

Ascension is destiny!

Since the Great Immortal-Demon War, this minor world has been gradually recovering. Originally, if one more person were to ascend, it could repair its origin and leap to become a great world. However, something went wrong mid-way; certain powers emerged that specialized in hunting the opportunities of the Child of Destiny.

These powers grew stronger by leveraging the Child of Destiny’s opportunities, unintentionally hindering the growth of the minor world.

Their methods were too clever, knowing how to avoid karma and backlash.

The Heavenly Dao realized it too late.

These powers had already developed into top aristocratic families.

Xie Jiuniang’s rebirth was the Heavenly Dao’s counterattack, although she had not been aware of it before.

After this incident, she knew...
