Heaven Refining physique-Chapter 77: Threads of Fate

"Senior, even though the chances are low, what if they really got destroyed and the person who is here isn’t descended from the Xuanluan clan but someone else?"

"That’s almost impossible. First, the chances of that happening are quite low, but let’s assume that it did happen.

Even then, the Xuanluan clan would not let the Fate of Thread or any treasures fall into the hands of their enemies, much less their main cultivation technique, which was Celestial grade and related to chaos laws.

Even I don’t know its name. It is said only those who have the blood of the Xuanluan clan are eligible to even know about it, and the other people who can have access to it were those who got married into the Xuanluan clan and joined wholeheartedly.

Even descendants of the Xuanluan clan had to take an oath to not disclose it to anyone.

If the situation really reached that far, they could simply destroy it or send it too far away to be found by anyone.

Let’s say they decide to destroy it, but do you know what? You can’t completely destroy a celestial grade cultivation technique or a Heavenly grade cultivation technique.

These cultivation techniques are born from the universal law itself, and if you destroy it, then another one will appear somewhere.

So if the Xuanluan clan really reached the point of no return, instead of destroying the technique, they would have sent it to a place where no one can find it.

And it would be a place separate from where they would hide treasures like the Thread of Fate.

And since this person is someone who has mastery in the Dao of Chaos along with the Thread of Fate, which chooses its own master, it is but a given conclusion that they are from the Xuanluan clan."

Not to mention, since you’re connected to them or a thing they possessed, they already know about you, even before Hu Tian even found you.

It is but a simple task for a person controlling the Thread of Fate, and since you are still alive, that means they aren’t here to change that fate by killing you.

She didn’t say these words aloud but thought to herself.

"I get it, Senior."

"Hm... so let’s talk about the Fated some more. So, do you believe that the Fated exist or not?"

Jiang Hao doesn’t know how he can answer that. For him, everything felt like his own decision, and he wouldn’t just trust any stranger that easily; it was his nature.

The notion of having a bond stronger than a familial bond is tough to believe, but on the other hand, his familial bond might also exist due to the Fate mechanism. In fact, it is but a truth.

He was never one to discard possibilities, and given how mysterious the path of cultivation is, everything is possible.

And since the Dao of Fate exists, that means the mechanism of Fate exists too. So, the possibility of the notion that everything is written in fate is quite believable now.

"Senior, since you had already seen Fated people before, I doubt you will lie to me, a mere Core Formation junior, so I think it is believable."

"Hehehe... of course they do exist. Not to mention seeing them in the past, I just saw one currently."

Jiang Hao was surprised.

"In the city?"

"What will you do knowing that? Go back and check how they act together?"

Jiang Hao was speechless. Also, it doesn’t sound bad. He had used only 20 percent of his energy anyway, which almost got replenished completely, so he can easily make the trip.

He shook his head and stopped thinking. It’s not like he will be able to figure out their bond. Stronger bonds doesn’t mean they will act any different than normal people in public.

"Anyways, why were you really worried about the Truth Seeker? It wouldn’t have changed anything even if your enemies know about your location, right? They would have just felt relieved knowing that you guys are still in that dangerous place.

After all, it’s what they want, right? To let you guys die there?"

Jiang Hao sighed when he heard that.

"Senior, it’s not that I was worried for myself. I was worried about them finding out about my mother. Although these people would wait for us to die, and if we don’t, then they will start using different means."

"I see, so it’s even more important for you to visit the owner of the Thread.

Well, the place where we can meet isn’t far, you know. You can go there anytime you wanted."

Jiang Hao thought for a moment and asked.

"They are in the Eastern region?"

He had thought that the owner would definitely be in the Central region, after all, it is where most of the human population live.

"They are. Don’t worry, when the time comes, we will go there. I think someone is coming for you."

Jiang Hao got surprised and looked towards his door. It is already night now, so he doubted anyone would come to disturb him.

Knock!

He went and opened the door. It was the previous maid with another women who seemed to be a mortal.

"Respected guest, do you need something?"

She asked in a coy voice.

Although Jiang Hao doesn’t have experience in matters of men and women, he still understood what she was implying.

He shook his head and said.

"No, and don’t disturb me again."

"As you wish, respected guest."

Jiang Hao closed the door and went back to his bed. He was going to comprehend the Core Formation segment of his cultivation technique.

Although comprehending it in the presence of Senior Huan or Senior Zhi would have been better, since he was free with nothing to do right now, he decided to do it.

Morning came, and he left his room for a walk. He decided to see the city. For three days, he has really nothing to do.

He came out of the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion and went towards the left side, as it has more crowd.

He walked alone, looking towards various shops and people, cultivators and mortals. There were some people with masks, so he didn’t look out of place in this crowd.

How enthusiastic he used to be when he came to the city for the first time in his life, but now it doesn’t even excite him anymore. How fast life changes—he can understand from this thought.

If he keeps going like this, he will leave many things behind. He wondered if a time will come when there will be nothing in this world that will attract his attention.

How do people who reached the top really feel? Are they just exploring new worlds or waiting for their deaths to come?

This was really an intriguing thought. Maybe the destination isn’t as fun as the journey itself.

He sighed and looked towards the ring. He wondered if she will answer this question or not. He doesn’t know how strong she was in her prime, but she was definitely very strong.

As a wielder of a Celestial Physique, he knew that those who had them aren’t lacking anything other than time, and the way she talks, he had a feeling that she had lived long enough.

"What are you thinking about, looking at the ring?"

Jiang Hao came out of his reverie and sighed.

"Senior, how does it feel to be one of the strongest people in the world?"

"Eh? Aren’t you too small to ask something about that? What is your age, 17 years?

You have just started to walk the path, and here you are thinking about how it would feel on the top of the world.

Does having a Celestial Physique make you confident about reaching the pinnacle easily?

Listen, there are far more old monsters living in this world. Once you meet them, you will understand what real strength is.

Right now, telling you about something like that is pointless. Only when you step on the path of Dao will you understand what real strength is.

As for me... hehehe, yes, I was one of the old monsters who had grown so bored that I took a step which people who had lived more than me don’t dare to take.

The results are obvious. Here I am with my soul so injured that I need to live with an anchor, and healing this injury will take a very long time.

But I don’t regret it. It was fun and was better than sitting idle on the top doing nothing."

Jiang Hao was surprised but not shocked when he heard that she was really one of the strongest people in the whole universe.

"Senior, what is your name?" He finally asked her name.

"Ohh... it’s been a long time since someone really used my name to call me. Well, my real name used to be Yin Ni, but it is already lost in history as no one knows that now, except a few."

Jiang Hao nodded. Even Senior Hu Tian had the title of Blood Emperor. No one used real names for exceptional people. Well, there are a lot of worlds, and there might be many similar titles, but he had no doubt that the title she would have wouldn’t be used by other people, just out of fear. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

He came to a clearing where a lot of stalls were set up, and it seems to be an area where spirit herbs or alchemy-related stuff are being sold.

His eyes fell on two groups of people; they were among each other.

One group belongs to a sect, but the people of the other group were someone he knew.
