Life Repair Progress

As the branch of the supreme heavenly mandate rooted in Xiu'er's head was ignited, Xiu'er, acting as the connector, showed a pained expression, and her entire aura became increasingly unstable.

Zhao Zhiming watched this scene, appearing exceptionally anxious.

“Brother Su, looking at Xiu'er's condition, something seems a bit off.”

“Brother Zhiming, wait a little longer; it will be over soon.”

Under Heavens Mandate Vision, the branch of the supreme heavenly mandate rooted in Xiu'er was almost entirely enveloped in flames.

【Detected incinerated supreme heavenly mandate, plundering in progress】

Several threads emerged from Su Ming's body, pouncing from all directions toward the charred branch of the supreme heavenly mandate.

Those ashes were completely captured by these threads and subsequently merged into Su Ming's own fate.

His originally broken line of fate was partially healed once again under the repair of these ashes.

【Successfully destroyed the watcher of the supreme heavenly mandate, obtained 300,000 supreme destiny points, fate repair progress unlocked】

A brand-new progress bar appeared on the System panel.

“System, this fate refers to...”

【When the Host destroys the supreme heavenly mandate, the incinerated portions can be plundered to complete the Host's own fate】

Su Ming looked at his increasingly complete fate and found his answer.

As long as he repaired his fate to 100%, he naturally wouldn't have to face that future destined for destruction.

But Su Ming still couldn't understand one thing.

He clearly didn't need to complete his fate; as long as he stepped into the Limitless Realm, he could similarly resist this unknown fate.

Why was the System performing this unnecessary action?

“System, what if I step into the Limitless Realm before completing my fate?”

【Those with incomplete fate cannot step into the Limitless Realm】

Looking at the prompt given by the System, Su Ming's breath suddenly hitched.

He had never known before that stepping into the Limitless Realm actually had such a prerequisite.

“Since the last Limitless Realm Chaos Dao Lord disappeared into the Outer Void, for countless years since then, no one has been able to set foot in the Limitless Realm...”

Su Ming thought of a certain possibility.

Perhaps it wasn't that the subsequent Cultivators couldn't compare to those Seniors, but because of certain reasons, the Cultivators after the Chaos Dao Lord all had deficiencies in their fate.

That was why, until now, no Limitless Realm has ever emerged from the Outer Void.

“Could it be that the supreme heavenly mandate has locked down the path for everyone to continue ascending...”

The more he came into contact with, the more Su Ming felt he was caught in some massive conspiracy.

Suddenly, he thought of the reason he entered this Secret Realm.

Perhaps by finding that unknown power, he could catch a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg behind all this.

As Su Ming stopped his contemplation, Xiu'er in Zhao Zhiming's arms also completely calmed down.

After repeatedly confirming that Xiu'er was unharmed, Zhao Zhiming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Brother Su, Xiu'er won't have that kind of situation again... right?”

“I can't guarantee what will happen after we leave... but at least within this Secret Realm, she won't have any more problems.”

“Of course, if Miss Xiu'er encounters a similar situation later, you can bring her to find me. I am very happy to continue the treatment.”

As long as the supreme heavenly mandate still intended to indirectly control Zhao Zhiming through Xiu'er, it would definitely make a move on her again after they left.

At that time, Su Ming would only need to perform 'Heavens Mandate Destruction' once more to continue gaining fate repair progress.

Looking at it this way, it might be better if Xiu'er were controlled by the supreme heavenly mandate more often.

However, seeing Su Ming's slightly strange gaze, Zhao Zhiming immediately became alert.

“Brother Su, you don't have some kind of designs on Xiu'er, do you...”

“You've misunderstood. I was just confirming if her chronic illness had been eradicated. I plan to continue toward the next area. What about you?”

Facing Su Ming's suggestion, Zhao Zhiming was silent for a moment before speaking.

“Given Xiu'er's current state, I'd better not go with you for now. However, please accept this item.”

Looking at the object the other party handed over, which resembled a Spirit Stone, Su Ming directly pocketed it.

The effect of this thing could be guessed at a single glance.

“In that case, take care.”

Su Ming leaped onto Shen Ming's head and then headed toward the Ninth District.

Under Heavens Mandate Vision, Su Ming could see that fellow Long Ao was in the Ninth District.

Not long after Su Ming left, Xiu'er in Zhao Zhiming's arms finally slowly woke up.

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Zhao Zhiming's concerned gaze.

“Xiu'er, how are you feeling now?”

“Young Master...” Xiu'er was dazed for a moment before coming to her senses: “I seem to... feel much lighter.”

In the past when she was with Zhao Zhiming, Xiu'er always felt as if she had become another person.

But now, that feeling no longer existed.

“That's good... that's good...” Zhao Zhiming pulled her into his arms with relief.

“Young Master, did something happen? Where is Young Master Su?”

Xiu'er clearly still remembered that Su Ming had helped her.

“He had something to do and left first. Don't worry, he accepted the 'pebble' I fashioned; I can sense his location at any time now.”

“That's good. I haven't properly thanked Young Master Su yet.”

“Isn't this perfect? He invited me to join forces before, but I was worried about you and didn't go with him. Now we'll go find him.”

Zhao Zhiming carried Xiu'er and rushed toward Su Ming's current location without further ado.

Halfway there, Zhao Zhiming's expression suddenly changed.

“Oh no! The 'pebble' I left on him has shattered!”

This clearly wasn't Su Ming intentionally crushing Zhao Zhiming's 'pebble,' because there was simply no need.

Most likely, Su Ming was fighting some enemy, causing the 'pebble' gifted by Zhao Zhiming to be destroyed.

“Young Master, let's hurry over. Young Master Su first fought against the Dragon Court and Jade Pool Holy Land, and then helped me solve my own illness. He might not have the strength left to deal with enemies now.”

“I know!”

Zhao Zhiming anxiously accelerated.

Su Ming had done him a favor; Zhao Zhiming could not just stand by and watch something happen to him.

However, when he arrived at the scene, he found Su Ming standing silently in place.

His expression looked incredibly solemn, and he was holding a bone fragment in his hand.

“Brother Su! Are you alright?”

“Hmm? Brother Zhao, you arrived so quickly.”

Su Ming looked at the slightly anxious Zhao Zhiming and immediately realized.

During the battle just now, the token the other party had given him was unfortunately destroyed. The other party must have sensed something, which was why he rushed over so anxiously.

“Thank you for your concern, Brother Zhao. It was just a small interlude. Let me explain it to you in detail.”
