Chapter 129 - 128: The Method to Overturn the World (4/3, 6000 monthly tickets for additional release)

Chapter 129: Chapter 128: The Method to Overturn the World (4/3, 6000 monthly tickets for additional release)"Are you saying... just like Huo Qing?" An Jing understood, he took a deep breath, his heart intoning solemnly, "No destruction, no establishment? Completely change his destiny, to change the future of this world..." He gained some insight, "Indeed, to overturn the order, to bring disaster to the world, but it doesn’t specify what kind of order, what kind of world!" "Perhaps, it’s just my guess." Sword Spirit made no rash promises, always as straightforward as a sword—if it didn’t know, it simply said it didn’t know: "In any event, your strength is not at that level yet, thinking about this is indeed too premature." "But if a cultivator doesn’t prepare for immortality from the beginning, they are doomed never to achieve it. The same goes for the Heavenly Mandate." "By following the Heavenly Mandate, your Divine Skill will become increasingly powerful—but I think you won’t like the chaotic era created by those past ’Heavenly Destiny Seven Fiends’ holders, when countless monstrous evils brought disaster upon the world." "What you want is to build a peaceful and tranquil paradise, right?" "Building more paradises like that is a thousand, no, a million times harder than overthrowing a dynasty. You won’t just be going against a group of vested interests, but also against human nature, against desires, against the iron laws of the human world. Because no matter who it is, everyone wants to be the one oppressing others; don’t be fooled by many people’s verbal criticism of those evildoers enslaving others; in reality, they envy the authority and enjoyment of the enslavement." "Unless... it’s an Immortal." "Or someone like you, a madman, a freak. It’s those who have been hurt too deeply by this world that even in death, they refuse to be tainted." "Given that, why not make some preparations? In the future, you will need comrades-in-arms, just as I did back in the day, with many Dao friends by my side, only then could we Subdue Demons and Exorcise Evil." "A poor man with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, intelligent, resilient, having his own insights and analytical abilities—investing in him doesn’t require a single Spirit Stone..." "Just one Cultivation Technique." "One ’True Law’." "I see," An Jing fully understood now. He lifted his head to face Nian Quan, who was opposite him, somewhat awkward but with a resolute expression, seemingly lost in thought, "Indeed, we are not lacking in Cultivation Techniques—but for him, a good Cultivation Technique could maximize his talent and at the cheapest cost, raise a future ally for me." "You can also choose not to provide one; I’m just suggesting." Sword Spirit said, "As he himself said, our acquaintance is shallow, the previous conversation was too deep for such a shallow relationship. You have no blood relation." Yet An Jing vaguely understood the reason for the disturbance of his Heavenly Mandate, "That’s right, blood ties are important. What does it matter if he’s a genius? He’s not my son, not even a close friend, why should I bestow upon him the Great Dao’s True Law?" "That’s it, isn’t this just the ’world’s way’ of the Tianyuan Realm?!" An Jing felt it at that moment, truly felt it within the depths of his heart, deep within his Soul and Spirit, at the source of his Spirit Root, in the center of the Purple Mansion—the foundation of his Soul and Spirit, where the True Spirit of the Heavenly Xuan originated. Something inside him suddenly leapt, flared up. A burning sensation flowed through his meridians, and his heart seemed to become a great furnace, with fierce flames scorching his soul and radiating brilliant, resplendent, crystalline Liuguang. —Heavenly Mandate. —Heavenly Mandate! —The Heavenly Destiny of the Seven Luminaries Seven Fiends! —Born from disaster, brought forth by adversity, arising from calamity, returning evils to the world! This is a Heavenly Mandate destined to overturn the world, to bring disaster upon the people. Perhaps it is also... his true nature! "I’ll do it!" A slightly odd smile of excitement appeared, An Jing had finally understood it all: "I shouldn’t have thought about pros and cons, I can travel between two worlds, I could be the greatest entertainer in this world!" He became more at peace, and his vision seemed suddenly clearer: "I am from Embracing the Void, what’s wrong with supporting the native residents of the Tianyuan Realm to change their fate? It’s only right by the laws of heaven—if Nian Quan does succeed in the future, not to mention alliances, he’s bound to achieve great things, fulfilling my Heavenly Mandate." "And if he can become my ally, that would be gains multiplied a hundredfold, a thousandfold, even ten thousandfold!" "It’s not just Nian Quan, next time I come, I must also give Huo Qing a cultivation technique! His talent in body cultivation is good, I’ll directly transmit the Imperial Heaven Technique to him!" "Good! I like your character, we really do get along well!" Subdue Evil Sword Spirit said excitedly: "I saw that there is a Jade Slip in this house, ask Nian Quan for a blank one, and I’ll leave the true method behind." "Setting aside everything else, when Nian Quan’s true method becomes successful in the future, whether he’s our ally or not, we can tell him about the Fengdu Guards, Expedition Ritual Office, Mysterious Dark Palace, and the matters concerning the Spirit Talisman! By then, he will certainly seek revenge and slaughter those damned monstrous evils of the Demon Dao!" "As the saying goes, cause and effect, retribution, that’s how it is, and indeed the recompense is real!" ...Do you, old man, also enjoy watching such tales of revenge? It was only at this moment that An Jing finally saw clearly the fundamental nature of the Sword Spirit, which had been with him for nearly half a month, ’Subduing Demons and Exorcising Evil’. It, It... It is one who enjoys a good show, never shy from stirring things up, straightforward in words and deeds, fond of using brute force to subdue demons and vanquish fiends, wanting to overturn the disliked ways of the world, and using the sword to slay all evil demons and heretical paths... a Sword! Indeed... it’s very much like a sword. —Just like him! Glancing at the time, the final Sword Light was about to dissipate, with no time left to waste, An Jing patted the table and informed Nian Quan that he wanted a blank Jade Slip. "You may call me ’Subdue Evil’. Your mother has given me a handsome reward, so I’m willing to tell you certain things. Of course, if you don’t want to know, then pretend I didn’t say anything." He said so, and although An Jing intended to leave behind the true method, he did not plan to let Nian Quan think he could gain something for nothing: "But if you do want to know, then as compensation, you must also trade me something in return." "Your mother has paid a sufficient price, but what I’m offering is far more valuable than that. Nian Quan, consider this an investment in you." He crossed his fingers on the table and spoke calmly: "I expect to see sincerity." "...I want to know." The boy took a deep breath, stood up, and went to get a blank Jade Slip. Nian Quan had already guessed that this friend in front of him was someone out of the ordinary. The Spiritual Pupil allowed him to know An Jing’s real age, but also revealed that An Jing was imbued with Spirit Qi, pure and sharp, a Qi Refinement cultivator. Bear in mind, with his Heavenly Spiritual Root, he’s still fluctuating between ’Essence Qi like silk’ and ’Essence Qi like a river’, though it’s because he hasn’t consumed enough Spirit Food, but this also indicates how extraordinary it is for someone over a decade old in Tianyuan Realm to achieve Qi Refinement. The other party is definitely from a powerful force, at least an heir of a large Wilderness tribe, and his own mother... perhaps got involved in these affairs. He should have stayed away from all this—his mother surely wanted him to stay away, otherwise, she wouldn’t have had this friend tell him ’she’s away on a business trip’. She naturally knew her son’s intelligence; such a lie could not deceive him. She only hoped... hoped that he could be deceived by her just like before, just for once more. But it’s not possible. It’s absolutely impossible! Even the once gentle Nian Quan now felt a torrential rage within, like a roaring river, filled with anger, regret, and determination. He would never disregard his mother’s death, so, he... He would make a filial decision!
