The altered destiny

Upon hearing that Su Ming still had matters to attend to, Su Wenjian immediately spoke up.

"Good Grandson, what else needs to be done? Your grandfather will help you settle it together."

"Grandfather, your Grandson wishes to investigate the truth behind this remnant soul's wrathful Reincarnation."

Su Ming directly stated what he intended to do.

Since he could directly utilize two Peak Heavenly Dao Realm experts to help him, why wouldn't he?

There was no need to suffer unnecessarily.

Since it was his Grandson's wish, Su Wenjian didn't think much of it, simply assuming Su Ming was showing care for Lin Zhaodi and Su Yingluo.

It just so happened that he had previously captured information related to the remnant soul within the Reincarnation Sword Realm.

Su Wenjian simply peeled back the layers, completely locking onto the location guided by the threads of fate.

"Grandson, I have found clues related to this remnant soul. Should I transfer you there directly, or will you explore on your own?"

Faced with the inquiry, Su Ming chose the former without hesitation.

"Please trouble Grandfather to teleport me there. While I am away, please have Grandfather and Senior Qian look after these two girls for me."

"Rest assured, Grandson. With your grandfather here, no one in this world can harm you."

After speaking, Su Ming found himself transferred to an extremely familiar place.

It was precisely the Secret Realm left behind by the Peerless Sword Cultivator.

A mural formed entirely from condensed sword marks appeared before him.

Looking at this mural, Su Ming thought of the images he had seen when deducing the secrets of heaven.

He just hadn't expected that those were actually related to the Peerless Sword Cultivator's wrathful Reincarnation.

Reaching out to touch the mural, Su Ming felt the hidden Sword Intent within it.

The Sword Intent on the mural was completely different from what had previously emanated from Lin Zhaodi and Su Yingluo.

Since the two of them possessed the reincarnated remnant soul of the Peerless Sword Cultivator, it meant that what they emanated was the true Sword Intent belonging to the Peerless Sword Cultivator.

Yet the Sword Intent on the mural before him also came from the hand of the Peerless Sword Cultivator.

One Sword Cultivator, two different types of Sword Intent; clearly, some key information was hidden within the latter on the mural.

It seemed that as long as he cracked the information left in this Sword Intent, he would know exactly what had happened.

"Senior Qian, Grandfather, could you lend me a hand?"

Sword Intent was not something Su Ming was particularly familiar with. Although his Comprehension Ability was already Heaven-Defying enough that comprehending Sword Intent would only take a bit more time.

But Su Ming didn't want to waste extra time on this.

As the saying goes, why suffer unnecessarily?

Upon hearing Su Ming's request, Su Wenjian immediately stepped in to help.

The Sword Intent before him was instantly cracked, and then a vivid image appeared before Su Ming.

This was the information hidden by the Peerless Sword Cultivator.

In the images, Su Ming saw how the Peerless Sword Cultivator had opened the Reincarnation Sword Realm, and how she had watched over and protected the continuous growth of this world.

Until the moment this world birthed a Heavenly Mandate sufficient to support and maintain its operation.

Initially, everything was fine, and the changes in this world satisfied the Peerless Sword Cultivator.

But as time passed, the Peerless Sword Cultivator discovered an anomaly.

As the creator of this world, she was intimately familiar with the changes in the Reincarnation Sword Realm.

But on this day, she discovered with horror that some power was tampering with the Reincarnation Sword Realm's Heavenly Mandate.

The originally unconscious Heavenly Mandate began to develop a bit of self-awareness under the influence of this power.

Upon realizing this, the Peerless Sword Cultivator immediately exerted all her strength to stop it.

But facing that unknown power, all her actions were merely like a mantis trying to stop a carriage.

In the end, the Reincarnation Sword Realm's Heavenly Mandate was tampered with by that power, turning into the appearance Su Ming had seen before.

The Peerless Sword Cultivator tried to restore the world's Heavenly Mandate to its original state but ultimately failed, and she herself fell under the siege designed by the Heavenly Mandate.

The root cause was that her heart had softened.

She was unwilling to strike at the world she had personally created, unwilling to see all the living beings within this world perish.

Ultimately, she died within the world she had created.

At the end of her life, she used all her strength to leave behind this Secret Realm, so that those sheltered by it would not be controlled by the Heavenly Mandate.

And she left this information as a warning.

Unfortunately, after leaving this Secret Realm, she herself was invaded by the Heavenly Mandate, causing her remnant soul to be affected and resulting in continuous wrathful Reincarnations.

After seeing all this, a chill rose in Su Ming's heart.

He then hurriedly asked the System: "Will the Heavenly Mandate I created also eventually turn out like this?"

[No. This world has been locked; external forces cannot interfere with the internal Heavenly Mandate, but this is limited only to the Heavenly Mandate.]

Su Ming instantly understood the System's meaning.

This world had been locked, so the Heavenly Mandate would not be influenced by unknown forces like in the images, but there was no guarantee that a high-level Cultivator wouldn't directly destroy this world from the outside.

However, the likelihood of the latter occurring was not high.

As for Qian Youcai and Su Wenjian, after seeing this information, their shock was not a bit less than Su Ming's.

Especially Su Wenjian; as someone who was once part of those controlled by a Heavenly Mandate, he subconsciously thought of the Heavenly Mandate of his original world.

If the Heavenly Mandate of his original world had also been influenced by this power to become like that...

Wouldn't that mean the mastermind behind everything the Su Family had encountered had finally surfaced?

Su Wenjian then looked at Qian Youcai, who at this moment had a face full of worry.

What Qian Youcai was worried about was that since that power could even influence a world's Heavenly Mandate...

Then was it possible that the supreme heavenly mandate belonging to the Outer Void had also been affected?

He did not want to become like the Peerless Sword Cultivator one day.

Therefore, no matter what, he had to find that power!

Thinking of this, Qian Youcai began to exert himself; he directly restored everything from the image just now, and when that unknown power appeared, he used his Divine Ability to cross time and space to lock onto the source of that power.

Such an action was a significant drain even for a Peak Heavenly Dao Realm.

But fortunately, Qian Youcai finally found the answer he wanted.

It was just that this answer plunged him into self-doubt.

The direction his Divine Ability locked onto was actually the Candle Dragon Inheritance Secret Realm.

In other words, this mysterious power that tampered with the Reincarnation Sword Realm's Heavenly Mandate was essentially related to the Limitless Realm!

Could it be that some Limitless Realm Saint was pulling the strings behind the scenes?

Thinking of this, Qian Youcai's expression became increasingly solemn.

"Su Family Head, this matter is not simple... Next, no matter what you say, I hope Little Nephew can enter the Candle Dragon Secret Realm once!"

Seeing Qian Youcai's solemn expression, Su Wenjian knew the other party had definitely seen something.

So he spoke up: "Give me a reason to be convinced."

"I have captured a portion of the fate related to the power that tampered with the Heavenly Mandate, and that fate ultimately points to the Candle Dragon Inheritance Secret Realm..."
