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

"Master Wu is right. Celestial treasures are meant to be used. Once used, it becomes evident who the owner is and who refined it, leaving no room for concealment."

Someone else spoke up.

"In truth... I exerted much effort to open the Wuxiang Soul Court not just to convey this news simply, but to seek everyone's opinion."

Bai Xiaosheng interrupted the crowd's discussion.

Everyone turned to look at him in unison.

Bai Xiaosheng said, "With a celestial treasure of such level, what difference does it make whether it has a master or not? We have all gathered here, hoping to discuss a strategy to avoid misunderstandings."

"Indeed!"

Emperor Fusheng glanced around. "Since it's a newly appeared treasure, my opinion is that it should belong to the virtuous! Everyone can freely compete for it, and whoever gets it will own it!"

"How exactly do you define 'getting it'? If I obtain it and then you kill me to take it, isn't it still yours?"

An elder snorted.

The notion of the virtuous obtaining it is merely empty talk. As long as there is competition, there can never be an end.

"Yes, if you are determined to get it, how can we compete?" The crowd suddenly understood.

This Emperor Fusheng, whether in terms of cultivation or strength, is unrivaled at the pinnacle of the Source World. Competing against him would be a futile effort.

"It's very simple. If you manage to obtain it and successfully forge it, I will not intervene. However, if you do not succeed in forging it and I acquire it beforehand, then this celestial treasure belongs to my Tianli Empire!"

Emperor Fusheng said indifferently.

The Eternal Heart may not move him to action, but the Xuanyuan War Chariot, he won't let slip by.

Not because the Xuanyuan War Chariot is more crucial than the Eternal Heart, but because the Second Level Heavenly Destiny Treasure would greatly aid his cultivation, even at his level.

"And the others?"

Seeing Emperor Fusheng express his stance, Bai Xiaosheng glanced around.

"We share the same sentiment! Once it is forged, we will cease competing..." Liu Xuanji spoke calmly.

"Since everyone has reached an agreement, let's disperse!"

Wu Potian stood up and turned to leave.

"Wait, I want to know if Master Wu will make a move." Just as he took two steps, a soft voice sounded, and everyone looked over.

Everyone knew of Wu Potian's strength, and even Emperor Fusheng would not likely best him. If Wu Potian were to join in the chase, then no hope would remain for anyone else.

"I have no interest in celestial treasures!" Wu Potian shook his head.

"Makes sense. Master Wu's physical body has already reached a state comparable to grade-1 Heavenly Destiny treasures. Though the Xuanyuan War Chariot is powerful, it is merely grade-2, and naturally not appealing to him!"

Bai Xiaosheng laughed.

"Yes, regardless of where the treasure is or whose it is, I will not interfere! Do as you please." Wu Potian, unwilling to say more, vanished from the Wuxiang Soul Court in a flash.

"Let's go!"

With the tone set by the two superpowers, the other attendees offered no further objections and disappeared from the Wuxiang Soul Court one after another.

You don't have to think to know that once back, they will set disciples to search everywhere, striving to locate this celestial treasure at the fastest possible speed. As the situation stands, whoever finds and forges it first will own it. Certainly, no force will forgo this opportunity.

...

Wu Potian slowly opened his eyes.

The conference in the Wuxiang Soul Court merely triggered a portion of his Soul Imprint, not his main body entering.

"Three days have passed now. I wonder how far this young man has forged the previous drop of blood essence?"

He stood up and flew toward Zhang Xuan's cultivation direction.

He had demanded the blood essence be thoroughly forged within seven days, and three days had passed. If it hadn't even reached halfway, then the talent would only be so.

Recalling the young man's three-day experience, he couldn't help but shake his head.

I have to admit, the methods he used to dispel misfortune indeed worked.

For example, the day before yesterday was a disaster of bloodshed, which, judging by the severity of misfortune, should have been a grave injury. But by preemptively slicing his hand and bleeding, the misfortune was dispelled, and consequently, no major calamity manifested.

Yesterday, when the misfortune was going berserk, this guy deliberately circulated the cultivation technique incorrectly and blew off a small section of his finger, which similarly dispelled the misfortune.

For a strong practitioner with an Eternal Heart, blowing off a small section of the finger is akin to pulling a hair out. Exchanging it for a potential berserk state of misfortune was astoundingly worthwhile.

For three successive days, he resolved potential misfortunes by the smallest possible sacrifices. I must admit, it truly is an impressive approach. It seems I can manage encounters with Liu Xuanji with ease in the future.

He soon came before Zhang Xuan, where the young man was still cross-legged, cultivating. The strength within his body flickered, and suddenly there was a thunderous crack like beans frying. A gust of white breath spat from his mouth like a long sword.

"Is this... a complete forge? Perfectly flawless throughout the body?"

As the strongest practitioner of forging physical bodies in the Source World, he naturally could discern the situation of the young man before him.

In just three days, he not only dissolved all dark injuries left from previous battles but also perfectly fused that drop of blood essence with his body. His talent... might even surpass my own back then.

"Master Wu..."

Zhang Xuan stood up.

The blood essence from his counterpart was indeed unmatched. He had rashly used it after snatching it from Prince Yuanqing's hands, enabling him to battle freely. Now fully integrated with his body, his command over strength has reached another level. While the overall power has not significantly changed, his ease in battle significantly improved, especially regarding muscle control reaching perfection. Encountering that prince again, he could undoubtedly defeat him with ease!

"To have fully forged the blood essence in merely three days has passed my test!"

Wu Potian nodded in satisfaction. "Then, demonstrate your full strength against me, so I can see to what extent you've mastered your strength! This way, I can grant you the appropriate amount of blood essence to further assist your advancement!"

"Thank you, Master Wu!"

Zhang Xuan steadied his heart, took a deep breath, and threw a punch.

The punch appeared ordinary, yet it instantaneously traversed space and time, reaching Wu Potian in an instant.

Aware of his counterpart's cultivation level and physical strength, Zhang Xuan left no room for reservation, unleashing his full might.

Whoosh!

With the Eternal Heart's beat, boundless strength surged through his arm, and a formidable force split the space into a patch of dark fissures.

Even though he only used the power of the Physical Body Realm, his Minor Accomplishment in the Eternal Golden Body made his strength comparable to the Bodhisattva Realm. Not even Prince Yuanqing, nor the Blood Venerate Demon Emperor or the Bodhisattva of Wisdom Battle could evade such a punch without being shattered entirely.

Boom!

Such a powerful punch fell on Wu Potian's chest. Zhang Xuan felt as if he had hit cotton, causing no ripple.

Zhang Xuan's pupils contracted.

So strong!

"You may use weapons. Rest assured, you cannot injure me!"

Seeing his astonishment, Wu Potian said lightly.
