Library of Heaven 2 Destiny Eternal

Chapter 543 Secrets (Part 2)

"You...you really cultivated the Heavenly Mandate?"

Hearing Zhang Xuan's words, Bai Zhan was speechless: "Without inheritance, it's the same as having no faith, no branch. Your own destiny will slowly wither away, and you won't live long either!"

"That's true..."

Zhang Xuan scratched her head awkwardly.

He kept thinking about his own experiences and forgot the origins of the Fate Master.

The more people cultivate, the stronger the power becomes, just like the influence. Although the core members have become reclusive families, living in seclusion, there are countless people who borrow and use that influence.

As human beings living in this world, who doesn't rely on power and who doesn't want to have power?
A dog relying on its master's power, currying favor with the powerful, bluffing, putting on airs, unstoppable momentum, heroes created by the times... Power is everywhere.

Even an empire must respect the prevailing trend, or it will perish.

Even if he progressed so quickly and possessed such strength, it was not without reason. Everyone has feelings, which is why the Fate of Love can be ranked at the first level. If he had comprehended other things, he would only be at the second level at most!
Just like Confucius, someone with even greater talent couldn't break through to the next level. It's true that people only know etiquette when they are well-fed and clothed, and only know honor and shame when they are well-clothed and fed. People can be without manners, but they cannot be without feelings. Therefore, no matter how hard one tries, it is difficult to break through to the next level.

Perhaps his arrival here with Crown Prince Yuanqing was also in search of an opportunity.

"If we take on disciples, since the Mandate of Heaven is unique, we will be replaced sooner or later. But if we don't take on disciples, the Mandate of Heaven will become weaker and weaker... It's like we're stuck on two fronts, with no loopholes to exploit!"

I thought I had discovered something wrong, but after all that fuss, it turned out I just had a momentary mental lapse and couldn't react.

"That's still not right... Those who defy fate are not bound by destiny, so are they also not bound by the shackles of destiny that they will die every 3000 years?"

Zhang Xuan remembered something else.

As someone whose power was stripped away by the Heavenly Decree of Chaotic Fate, he could clearly feel that he could no longer naturally absorb the Heavenly Fate Yuan Power of the Heavenly Fate from the Source World, which meant that under normal circumstances, he could no longer use the River of Fate.

If it cannot be used, does that mean we no longer have to obey the destiny of three thousand years?

"It's not necessary to obey, but... those who disrupt orders are punishable by everyone, and since they can't absorb power, they'll probably die before they even live three thousand years..."

Chief Qingming was speechless for a moment.

Everyone's as twisted as you. You're clearly a madman, yet you're jumping around so happily, showing no signs of exhaustion or the pathetic look of someone about to die at any moment.

Zhang Xuan scratched his head.

From this perspective, although becoming a disruptor of fate is not a good thing, it may not be a bad thing for him who possesses the Heavenly Library.

At least you have your own destiny in your own hands, unlike others who, when their time comes, will turn to dust no matter how strong they are.

Only now did Zhang Xuan have an accurate understanding of destiny.

Even kings and generals, no matter how powerful they are, will die when their lifespan is up. That's fate.

"Has no one... thought about immortality all these years?" Zhang Xuan was still curious.

Even the First Emperor of Qin in his previous life wanted immortality. With so many experts in this world who can pluck stars from the sky, how could they be content to obediently wait for death after three thousand years?

"Everyone wants it, and so do I, but what's the use of wanting it? No one can escape the judgment of fate... Even those with extraordinary talents like Emperor Fusheng or Wu Potian, do you think they can escape it?"

Qingming shook his head and said, "Moreover, a figure like Emperor Fusheng enjoys the benefits of power, but also has to bear the backlash of power. Even if his cultivation is higher than mine, his lifespan is not even three thousand years. If he can live for two thousand years, he will be considered to have lived a long life."

"Backlash?"

The Qingming Clan Chief nodded: "Power is too alluring, and countless people want to seize it. Once it changes hands, it will be impacted. Not to mention anything else, the crown prince he appointed has been ruined by you, and Yuan Qing's strength has been greatly reduced. He will also be harmed..." Zhang Xuan suddenly realized.

The fact that he killed Mo Baiye's disciple back then caused a backlash. As the designated successor to the Mandate of Heaven, the Crown Prince's opportunities were repeatedly taken away by him, which would not only shake the foundation of the Tianli Empire, but also be an impact on Emperor Fusheng.

However... it seems that this emperor has not made a move yet, and we don't know what he is planning.

Of course, no matter what he plans, I need to improve my strength as soon as possible. Otherwise, once a strong person of this level makes a move, even if I keep breaking through, I will definitely not be able to withstand a single punch from him!
When he first went to the Ten Directions Demon Realm to seize the Jade Disc of Creation, he witnessed firsthand the despair-inducing power of that force.

"Although we haven't entered the second level, if we're not mistaken, there should be a powerful figure of Buddha's level. As for the core third level, there might be a soul that is not much different from the Floating Life Emperor... If you really want to enter, you must be careful."

Chief Qingming gave his final instructions.

Zhang Xuan nodded.

"Then I'll take you there; it's right at the edge of the cliff ahead!"

Chief Qingming stood up.

Zhang Xuan responded and followed the other person out. After the two walked away, Zhu Yan could no longer help but look at Bai Zhan: "Clan Chief Bai, why didn't we kill this Zhang Xuan just now? Although he is very strong, it would not be difficult to kill him once we used the [Four Symbols World-Suppressing Seal]."

The Four Symbols World-Suppressing Seal is a first-class Heavenly Mandate Treasure, activated by the bloodlines of the four great families. Once used, it can fight on par with the Floating Life Emperor. Yet now, a junior has bullied it. The more it thinks about it, the angrier it gets.

"It would be easy to kill him using the Four Symbols World-Suppressing Seal, but... what benefits would we gain?"

Bai Zhandao.

"Killing the one who disrupts fate, this alone brings great benefits. Perhaps our four great families can then leave Tianji Mountain openly and legitimately..." Zhu Yan.

"Since the benefits are so great, why doesn't Emperor Fusheng take action? Look at how badly his sons have been tortured! All the ministers of the Six Ministries are dead..."

Bai Zhandao.

"This……"

Zhu Yan blinked, speechless.

Yes, if we're talking about hatred, Emperor Fusheng hated Zhang Xuan even more, yet he remained a bystander throughout, letting Crown Prince Yuanqing do whatever he wanted... That's very strange.

To say that Emperor Fusheng was an indecisive person, she would be the first to disbelieve it.

She could guarantee that if she went to the Tianli Empire to cause trouble now, they might just slap her into a pulp.

"Do you know something?" After thinking for a long time without figuring it out, Zhu Yan couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know. I only know that Zhang Xuan is not so easy to kill. Just now, and I mean just now, if we had forcibly used the Four Symbols World-Suppressing Seal, I'm afraid the final result would not have been killing him, but rather... our four great families would have become his mounts, and the Four Symbols World-Suppressing Seal would have been integrated into the Xuanyuan War Chariot, becoming another magic weapon!"

Bai Zhan smiled bitterly.

"That's an exaggeration..."

Zhu Yan looked slightly embarrassed.

Although she was skeptical of these words, the fact that this young man could persuade the other three clan leaders to stop fighting and befriend him meant that he must have some truly remarkable abilities and methods.
