All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes-Chapter 788 - 122 True Foundation (3/3)

"Uncle Master? Yes, I remember."

An Jing knew that his master was not the only seedling on Dawn Brightness Peak; there was also a senior brother who treated him very well.

In fact, Mingguang Dust had quite a good relationship within the sect. Many people were close to him, just as he had many friends outside the sect as well.

"Your master has exceptional talent. In my opinion, it is inevitable that he will surpass his predecessor in time, and he is fully capable of establishing his own peak. Hence, we did not train him as an heir—a point I have discussed with Heguang and Guangchen, and they both understand."

It was probably the atmosphere of the Bright Mirror Sect. Chenyinzi, Lord Cheng Guang, and the Haotian Mirror Fragment were all straightforward, like a mirror: "As for your Uncle Master Master Xuanyu, he is the next heir to Dawn Brightness Peak. He’s not untalented; on the contrary, he is quite powerful. But... he is relatively lazy."

"Lazy?"

An Jing was a bit puzzled. How could someone who reached the level of a True Person be called lazy? Chenyinzi shook his head helplessly: "This laziness refers to his unwillingness to do significant things to enhance his Fate Pattern. He always says that instead of doing things that make him unhappy, he would rather wait. Anyway, if it is destined, he will be elevated in due time."

"Rather than enhancing his Fate Pattern, he prefers to ponder various uses of Divine Skills. For example, the ’Bright Mirror Bright Shape,’ which is a special skill that all true disciples of our Bright Mirror Sect possess, including your unique ’Mirror Self Avatar.’ He has developed several special uses for it, such as healing, Break Magic, internalizing the inner landscape. He always has many ideas."

"My Uncle Master truly has a pure Dao Heart. This is a case of deriving one skill from one Art of Magic and transforming one Art of Magic into a path."

An Jing never hesitated to praise those who were kind to him, especially when hearing that his Uncle Master was a technical developer. In many cases, this was more crucial than simple combat ability.

"However." Speaking of this, An Jing remembered another matter: "Grandmaster, I now understand that every sect has its unique methods, allowing their disciples to become part of the sect, possessing special abilities or Divine Skills."

"But this is just an external aspect. It’s similar to how the Great Chen Dynasty provides specific Divine Power to many Heavenly Officials. The real key is that they can enable some people who lack a Fate Pattern to cultivate, essentially creating artificial Fate Patterns."

"Only with such methods can a major force maintain a stable succession. Relying solely on natural selection is too unstable, and it is impossible to nurture talents from an early age, nor ensure a high success rate."

"I assume our Bright Mirror Sect is no exception."

An Jing asked curiously: "So, how exactly does the sect acquire Life Holders?"

"Very good, very good."

Chenyinzi looked at An Jing with a surprised expression and then smiled with delight: "An Jing, you have asked the fundamental question of our sect!"

"And this question also has a simple answer."

On the mountainside of Bright Mirror Mountain, Chenyinzi gestured for An Jing to look up and observe everything before them.

An Jing raised his head, with his eyes and the Sword Eyes at the center of his brows, observing the sect that had taken him in and which he had chosen to accept.

Then, he saw it.

He saw countless souls that had passed away but still lingered between heaven and earth, wandering in their homeland.

——They were powerful or strange, majestic or intricate Fate Patterns.

An Jing could see that within the Jiankong Mountain Range, where the Bright Mirror Sect was located, in every Spirit Land, countless ancient and kind wills and Fate Patterns existed. These wills remained in the earth and the wind and rain, waiting for a soul similar to themselves.

——They were also fated weapons waiting for their owners, waiting to be used again.

In many halls filled with the smoke of incense, weapons and Magic Artifacts, some gleaming and new, others rusted and decayed, lay dormant, asleep, awaiting a belief that matched them, a martial artist who resonated with them.

They—or rather, the Bright Mirror Sect—sensed An Jing’s gaze.

All the wills converged towards An Jing, like tides and winds surging towards the shore, gently patting.

With wide-open eyes, An Jing saw the names of countless Fate Patterns, housing the souls of generations of Bright Mirror Sect martial artists. These were not living beings, nor did they possess self-awareness; they were merely a concept.

A form of Gifting and Blessing.

A type of Heavenly Dao Authority.

As long as there were suitable individuals, qualified targets, they would descend and become the Root Seed granted by heaven.

"Every major force has its own Cave Heaven, and the sole purpose of this Cave Heaven is to carry these ’seeds,’ preventing them from returning to heaven and earth, but rather allowing them to remain on the ground, to descend upon our Bright Mirror Sect martial artists better and faster."

Chenyinzi looked at the Bright Mirror Sect, at the land he would soon integrate into, revealing a proud smile: "Every martial artist of the sect who is not completely annihilated or whose soul is dissipated would choose to return to the sect, becoming part of it."

"Their Inner Array Realm and the Cave Heavens they created will all return to the sect. Their power will solidify the foundation of the sect. Their Fate Patterns will provide strength to the next generation of sect novices. Their legacy will not be cut off, and their will shall endure."

"As long as the sect does not perish, neither will they. This is a more peaceful resting place than the Netherworld, where most sect martial artists, including myself, ultimately return."

"Furthermore, some of their Fate Patterns are stored in objects. While these cannot become the Fate Patterns of new disciples, if these new disciples gain approval, they can become as swift as a tiger, quickly growing with the special abilities honed by their predecessors, avoiding many detours."

"This is the sect, enduring without end since ancient times, even until now."

"And the Bright Mirror Mountain where we reside... it is an enormous fated weapon, carrying the Fate Patterns of all sect martial artists for tens of thousands of years. If activated, it can grant hundreds of ’disciple talisman’ simultaneously—like you thought, similar to the Heavenly Officials of the Great Chen Dynasty, but more advanced, with different principles."

An Jing understood, he completely understood.

The main mountain of the Bright Mirror Mountain was a whole new Small World. Though the sect could not create Fate Patterns and bestow them like the true heaven and earth, it could preserve the sect martial artists’ Fate Patterns, prioritizing the inner and outer sect disciples over searching for qualified individuals throughout the world.

In this way, even the most basic quantity of Fate Pattern Pieces could be guaranteed. At least within the sect, the probability of awakening a Fate Pattern was much higher than outside.

And at crucial moments, the main mountain of Bright Mirror Mountain could forcibly create hundreds of new members. Even those who were not suitable could at least cultivate and continue the legacy. This was probably a method for extreme situations like closing the mountain and shutting the gates.

The Cave Heavens and Spirit Lands of sect martial artists merged into one; their Fate Pattern legacies also fused, forming the tangible body of the sect.

This was the sect, the true legacy, the genuine heritage.

It required countless generations’ sacrifice to amass such profound accumulation.

But beyond his initial admiration, An Jing felt a chill.

It was not fear or anything else.

An Jing just faintly sensed a truth.

——The sect intercepts the Fate Patterns of heaven and earth, collecting the Martial Artist Spirit Evil which should return to heaven and earth, gathering all Blessed Land and Cave Heaven into the sect’s domain. This might not be a good thing for heaven and earth.

Yes, the sect could indeed produce more martial artists, transform heaven and earth better, and accumulate these ’heaven and earth’s wealth’ faster... But as long as the sects do not perish, this wealth would never circulate back into heaven and earth.

The longer this continued, the richer the sects grew, while the ordinary people of the world became increasingly impoverished.

Unless... fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"Destroy the mountains, break the temples, annihilate the sects..."

The master of the Seven Luminaries and Seven Fiend Tribulation had a faint understanding: "The Seven Fiend Tribulation, perhaps, is meant to break this?"

"Regardless of life or death, strength or weakness, the objective is to trigger cause and effect, overturn the Heavenly Ancestor, annihilate thousands of sect martial artists, returning the solidified Heaven and Earth Spirits and Fate Patterns within the sects back to heaven and earth?"

Like a great fire, burning an overly dense forest that could no longer grow or rejuvenate, allowing new seeds to sprout, and making the soil more fertile... the Seven Fiend Tribulation was that fire.

But...

Is it really so?
