126: Fate-Defying Stone

“I hope you don't disappoint me.”

You sighed softly.

But upon hearing this, Zhou Zhuo instantly collapsed, began to kneel and beg for mercy, pleading for your forgiveness.

Seeing this, you already had your answer.

Then, as if not believing it, you also performed Soul Search on Zhou Zhuo.

However, the final result still disappointed you.

It turned out that during the years you were in seclusion, Zhou Zhuo had completely taken over the Seeking Dao Sect as his own territory, and he had also made a deal with a force called the Heaven and Earth Alliance.

The Heaven and Earth Alliance provided Zhou Zhuo with a large amount of Cultivation resources, while Zhou Zhuo regularly sent Disciples with Luck to the Heaven and Earth Alliance.

This transaction proceeded quite harmoniously.

But who would have thought that the last Disciple sent by Zhou Zhuo to the Heaven and Earth Alliance escaped midway?

This enraged the Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader, who immediately sent his subordinates to the Seeking Dao Sect to demand the person.

“Searching for those with Luck…”

You frowned.

Could this Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader be a powerful Cultivator who Cultivates the Law of Luck?

But then you immediately rejected this conjecture.

Because the Law of Luck is one of the most top-tier Laws in this world, and after the Fusion of the two realms, its holder must be an Immortal Venerable expert.

And in the memories of those Black Robed People, you discovered that the so-called Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader, while sounding formidable, at most only had the Immortal King Realm Cultivation.

In this small corner, he could still be a king and hegemon, but if placed in the entire Cultivation World, he was merely a slightly larger ant.

After a moment of contemplation, you decided to first resolve the matter at hand.

When you once again turned your gaze to Zhou Zhuo, he couldn't stop trembling.

He begged for your forgiveness.

But you showed no mercy, instantly killing him in front of numerous Disciples.

Subsequently, you signaled for the numerous Disciples to disperse and appointed your second Disciple, Cheng Su, to take over as the Sect Master of the Seeking Dao Sect.

Several hours later, night fell.

You activated the Law of Space, and in an instant, you appeared in the Immortal Cave of the Disciple who had escaped from the Heaven and Earth Alliance.

Although this person was nominally a Disciple of your Seeking Dao Sect, you vaguely felt that he was not simple.

You performed Soul Search on him without hesitation.

This memory was very brief.

So brief that it only took you a few breaths to completely sort it out.

“Another Transmigrator…”

You shook your head gently.

This person's name was Wang Yuan, and he had just Transmigrated to this world not long ago, and his predecessor was also a Disciple of the Seeking Dao Sect with the same name.

As for the reason he was able to escape from the Heaven and Earth Alliance, it was also very simple.

That is, as your colleague, this person also had a powerful Golden Finger—the Reversal Fate Stone.

This stone had a similar effect to the Heaven-Defying Pearl.

Both were closely related to the Law of Time.

However, the Heaven-Defying Pearl essentially slowed down the time within the internal Small World.

And made those within it completely unaware.

The Reversal Fate Stone was also like this; its function was to designate an area, making the flow of time there countless times slower than the outside world.

Although the creatures in this area were also completely unaware, to those outside the area, their speed was like a crawling turtle.

Wang Yuan was able to escape from the Heaven and Earth Alliance by relying on the Reversal Fate Stone.

However, he did not know how he was sent to the Heaven and Earth Alliance at the time, so he did not hold a grudge against the Seeking Dao Sect, and thus, at the first moment he escaped, he returned directly to the Seeking Dao Sect.

You shook your head with some regret after learning this information.

Although the previous Wang Yuan was loyal to the Seeking Dao Sect, what the Black Robed People said caused him to have some doubts.

These doubts were constantly magnified in his heart.

Until before you performed Soul Search on him, he had already guessed that a certain high-ranking official of the Seeking Dao Sect had reached some kind of agreement with the Heaven and Earth Alliance, and he might be the sacrifice in this agreement.

“What a pity… Since that's the case, I cannot keep you.”

As soon as your voice fell, Wang Yuan's body exploded, turning into wisps of dust, completely dissipating between Heaven and Earth.

You, on the other hand, held the Reversal Fate Stone in your palm, carefully examining it.

This object showed no signs of being Acquired polished; the various patterns on it seemed to be born this way, naturally formed.

You tried to activate the Reversal Fate Stone to lock a space.

But it seemed that because it had just been used not long ago, it only locked a very small area.

You quietly comprehended this space.

You discovered that the area changed by the Reversal Fate Stone had the exact same time flow rate as the internal space of the Heaven-Defying Pearl.

And on the back of the Reversal Fate Stone, there was a groove that perfectly fit the Heaven-Defying Pearl.

This greatly surprised you.

“Are they related in some way? Or were they originally one entity?”

You began to try to integrate the two.

But soon you discovered that things were not as simple as you imagined.

Although they were closely related, they were fundamentally different.

At the moment of contact, they would not only not Fusion, but instead, a powerful repulsive force would appear.

In frustration, you had no choice but to temporarily set this matter aside.

The 6300th year.

You learned from your previous lessons and, while diligently Cultivating, you would take some time to pay attention to the situation of the Seeking the Dao Sect.

And after ending your seclusion, you would proactively give lectures, guiding Disciples in their Cultivation.

This greatly increased the Disciples' favorability towards you, and the feedback from the Power of Leadership also improved significantly.

The 6320th year.

A name caught your attention.

Feng Xuanji!

A Woman of Luck whom you once valued, but who was now like a stranger.

At this time, she had not only successfully Ascended but also joined the Heaven Evolution Immortal Palace, the only top-tier force in the Heavenly Wasteland Great World, becoming the nominal master of the surrounding territory.

“How is this possible?! How could she, with just the memory of a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator, reach this point?”

As soon as you spoke, you realized something was wrong.

Because the claim that Feng Xuanji was a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator in her previous life came entirely from Dan Juezi.

In every subsequent simulation, you never verified the accuracy of this claim!

You silently noted this matter, intending to do something about Feng Xuanji in the next simulation.

The 6355th year.

You diligently Cultivated in the Heaven-Defying Pearl, and your Cultivation also reached the second layer of Profound Immortal with the blessings of the Power of Leadership and Heaven Rewards Diligence.

Although the Cultivation speed was much slower, you were still full of confidence.

Because the Heaven and Earth Longevity Art you were currently Cultivating was upright and harmonious, and it had significantly increased your Lifespan.

This Cultivation speed was still within your acceptable range.
