Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Fate of the Heavens

"Definitely all failed, otherwise, it's impossible that no one has succeeded after so long!"

"Just now, Yan Sansan and the others, it took less than a tea's time to achieve it, and now no names have appeared, nor any movement; I guess not one of them has become a Fate Master..."

"We can't even compare to a chicken, let alone he himself; that would be a joke..."

Various voices arose from the crowd, some puzzled, some mocking.

That Zhang Xuan, with just a chicken and a horse, had made a fool of everyone; naturally, they wouldn't miss the chance to see him embarrass himself.

One always seeks a way to recover face in a place where one has lost it, even if just in imagination.

"Impossible, teacher must succeed!"

Kong Shiyao shook her head, her eyes showing determination.

She found success quite easy, so how could a teacher with such talent fail? That must be a joke!

"Yan Sansan, what do you think?"

Elder Zhu Xuan could not help but ask the nearby youth.

Hearing his question, all the surrounding people ceased their discussions, eager to hear the perspective of this super genius.

"I..."

Hesitating for a moment, Yan Sansan nodded: "I believe that Lord Zhang and his disciples will definitely find their heavenly destiny successfully and become true Fate Masters..."

He witnessed what Kong Shiyao and the others achieved when seizing the opportunity.

What he strained to achieve through immense effort seemed as simple as a bird taking flight in the presence of the other party.

If that was how the disciples fared, the teacher must be even more formidable!

"If it's certain they can do it, why hasn't anyone succeeded yet?"

"Right, understanding heavenly destiny comes earlier for some and later for others, and it's not necessarily better to be earlier, but it's been so long. With more than ten people, surely someone should have succeeded by now!"

"Elder Zhu, could it be because there are too many of them this time? Everyone wants to understand it, and they influence each other, making it slow?"

"It's also possible..."

Elder Zhu Xuan was taken aback.

Such a situation wasn't impossible; indeed, no one had experienced anything like this for many years...

After much thought and failing to come to a conclusion, Elder Zhu Xuan turned away from the crowd's speculations and curiously looked at the nearby youth: "Right, Yan Sansan, what exactly happened just now? How did so many of you succeed at once?"

Again, everyone looked over, equally curious about the topic.

"There are no shortcuts to the Fate Master assessment. The reason so many succeeded at once is naturally that everyone has quite impressive talent..."

Carefully heeding what Kong Shiyao had told him, Yan Sansan dared not reveal too much.

"You say everyone has good talent, I might not fully believe it, but I can accept it, but you're saying that chicken has good talent too? Are you treating us like fools?"

A young man spoke with a sarcastic tone.

"Indeed, we eat hundreds of chickens like that a year at home. If it had talent, how could it submit to being killed?"

Another person joined the conversation.

"It..."

Yan Sansan's face took on an expression akin to constipation.

If that chicken had no talent, what did that make him? Less than trash?

Just as he was thinking of how to defend it, he felt a powerful aura emanating from nearby.

The maligned little yellow chick suddenly burst forth with strength so immense it was hard to believe, and the silhouette of a majestic rooster appeared behind it.

"Is this… Dharma Form Realm? It, it's a Dharma Form Realm chicken?"

The room fell silent.

Considering the looks of the little yellow chick, having a Source Pool of first pinnacle would be quite good, but as it turned out... it was at the Source Pool eighth pinnacle, and after understanding the heavenly destiny, it directly broke through!

Many people present, if just considering cultivation, probably couldn't even compare...

"No wonder they let it participate in the assessment; a Dharma Form Realm chicken is no longer a chicken but a Primordial Beast. Anyone would likely make the same choice."

"Yes, but we admit we can't compare to a chicken. We've raised horses for many years, and even if that one has good bones, it's just a normal horse. This thing can't practice cultivation, so how could it comprehend heavenly destiny?"

Another doubt was raised.

The appearance of the little yellow chick somewhat resembled an ordinary chicken but was also different. Now that it had reached the Dharma Form Realm, they accepted, but this thousand-li horse didn't seem that special, did it?

"Coo coo~~"

While the crowd's doubts remained unresolved, Dao Li suddenly let out a long neigh, leaping forward on its front hooves, and its own Dharma Form silhouette emerged behind it. However, its Dharma Form was slightly different from its actual form; it had an additional pair of wings between its ribs.

"Is this... the Heavenly Horse Dharma Form?"

Elder Zhu Xuan's pupils shrunk.

"Heavenly Horse?" The crowd looked on perplexed.

Elder Zhu Xuan's expression turned solemn: "Yes, the Heavenly Horse is a famous saint beast between heaven and earth, renowned for its speed, able to freely traverse space, unmatched and unparalleled, just that such a saint beast is exceedingly rare, unlikely to find even one across the mainland. This Dao Li developing such a Dharma Form of the saint beast, could it be that it possesses... Heavenly Horse bloodline?"

"Heavenly Horse bloodline?"

The eyes of the crowd suddenly burned with desire.

Ordinary Primordial Beasts were attractive enough, but the Heavenly Horse was a creature of legends; even a bloodline as diluted as one in a hundred thousand or one in a million would be enough to stir countless people's hearts.

"Coo coo~~" Hearing the crowd's emotion, Dao Li snorted in disdain.

Heavenly Horse my foot; it was because it had forged the Iron Scale Winged Beast blood essence and succeeded in its Dharma Form breakthrough, thus acquiring the silhouette of wings. As for a Heavenly Horse... never even heard of it!

"It turns out we were ignorant..."

Having witnessed the extraordinariness of the little yellow chick and Dao Li, the crowd finally understood and no longer held the same attitude as before.

No wonder they were willing to spend 30 million Origin Currency for their assessment to help them find their destiny. With such innate gifts and potential, they would've done the same.

"Since the beast pets and disciples are so formidable, why has still no one succeeded?"

The surroundings fell silent for a moment, then a doubtful voice rose again.

Just then, the nearby tombstone suddenly burst into blinding red light.

"Someone has succeeded..."

Their pupils contracted, and the people hurriedly looked, only to feel as if they were staring at the second sun.

"My eyes..."

Everyone covered their eyes and wailed incessantly.

Elder Zhu Xuan's body trembled, his pupils shrank rapidly, and his face showed disbelief, "The dazzling light, is this... someone has comprehended a grade-3 or perhaps even a higher heavenly destiny?"

As the Elder in charge of assessing heavenly destiny, he was most familiar with what the brightness of the tombstone denoted.

A normal red light signified the acquisition of a golden koi and understanding of a strong heavenly destiny.

The dazzling light was a legend, signifying a grade-3 or even higher heavenly destiny, which can only emerge from... could it be that among the newly entered individuals, there was someone with such a talent?

In the whole Source World, there are only 99 Second-level Heavenly Destinies, each representing a massive power. To comprehend one means a chance to become its disciple... one's status and position would soar, becoming extraordinary!

As for a Tier 2 Heavenly Destiny, even rarer with only 24 present, becoming one of its core disciples would mean, even with a low cultivation at the Half-Spiritual Perception realm, one is still unparalleled compared to the Zhou Yi Dynasty's Heaven Mandate Hall.

His fists clenched in excitement, he squinted through the glare to see clearly who had this opportunity, only to witness the tombstone burst into an even brighter red light.

Following that, the entire tombstone, as if stimulated, began to flicker incessantly, the brilliant red light illuminating everyone as if they entered a nightclub... Even he could no longer keep his eyes open due to the dazzling display.

Boom boom boom!

Not only that, the ground too began to shake as if an earthquake had struck, and immense strength rippled throughout the room. Shortly after, Elder Zhu Xuan saw the tombstone, glowing from releasing too much light, heat up like a red-hot branding iron.

"An anomaly has occurred; everyone quickly exit the hall..."

Feeling the increasing heat from the stone wall and the more violent trembling of the ground, Zhu Xuan knew something unforeseen had happened, something he was unaware of. No longer wasting time on words, he couldn't help but shout.

They were all the future of the Heaven Mandate Hall; if they were to die here, he couldn't shirk the responsibility.

"Okay!"

Hearing this, the crowd no longer cared about looking at the tombstone; besides, even if they did, they could see nothing. They fled outside in a rush. Enjoy more content from empire

"Teacher..."

Kong Shiyao, Dan Xiaotian, and others, with anxious expressions, were set on rushing into the room but before they could get far, they were stopped mid-air by Elder Zhu Xuan.

"Quickly leave. Going in like this will not only fail to save anyone but might also cost you your lives..."

Although he didn't know what had transpired, such a commotion must be serious. They could only hope for Zhang Xuan and the others to have luck on their side; expecting them to rescue... was definitely impossible!

"Starting..." Kong Shiyao was anxious.

"There are no buts; Elder Zhu is right, charging in now is a path to certain death!" Yan Sansan also urgently called out.

As Kong Shiyao was pondering how to argue, she heard Bai Ruanqing at her side speaking in a hushed tone, "Let's go out first. I think... this commotion is very likely caused by the teacher; he should be fine..."

She knew her teacher well; he was a magnet for trouble. Others undertook their assessments without issue, but he went in and nearly exploded the place... To say it had nothing to do with him, she wouldn't believe herself.

"Right..."

Hearing her say so, Kong Shiyao then came to her senses.

Not only was the teacher powerful, but he also had the New World; if anything went wrong, self-preservation was surely no problem, and her rushing over would become a burden instead.

With that thought, she spoke no further, grabbed Dao Li and the little yellow chick, and dashed outside.

Just as they reached the door, the ground's shaking intensified, and the red light grew ever more dazzling.

Boom!

A massive roar echoed, and the tombstone, glowing as if red-hot, suddenly exploded, and the tremendous shockwave tore through the surroundings.

Crash!

The previously grand and gorgeous Heaven Mandate Hall collapsed in a blink of an eye, becoming a pile of ruins.
