Chapter 203: Chapter 63 Nurturing the Fated Weapon (3/3)In fact, Granny Huai’s identity was quite easy to discern. If we say that Ming City is a large city controlled by the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect, then actually, the Earth Veins of this city are also controlled by the Demon Sect. Given this, how could Granny Huai, who lives on an Earth Pulse Node and sustains herself with its energy, possibly have no connection to the Demon Sect? Plus, the scent of medicine on her was so familiar, An Jing should have realized it long ago. And the initial reaction of the other party indeed confirmed An Jing’s speculation — the Master of the Medicine Manor and the Wei Yang Fist were indeed acquaintances of Granny Huai, and not just ordinary ones! All one could say was, people of the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect, no matter how normal they appear, are completely different from ordinary people... The fact that they felt no sadness for the death of someone so close to them showed their indifference, which was ’as heavenly’ as their own doctrine. "Child, I am not insane." Sensing An Jing’s confusion, Granny Huai shifted her gaze away from the knuckleduster fragment, her eyes calm, without a trace of resentment, only contentment. She softly said, "Feng (the Vice Envoy of Medicine) had long fallen into the evil path of the demons, piling errors upon sins, unforgivable, and he deserved to die at anyone’s hand, rightly so, especially at the hand of a good child like you?" The old lady calmly looked at An Jing, smiling gently, "If you were to dismember him into thousands of pieces, I would only be happy, because that is Heaven’s Will, his Fate Tribulation." "And I, who was saved by him as a child, would pray for him for that single moment of kindness ... and that’s all." "As for Shu." Turning her head, Granny Huai looked at the fragments of the knuckleduster, her tone complex, "He has always been a good person... it’s just that his parents were evil spirits who had fallen into the evil path and offered their child to the cult." "He was a sacrifice of the Divine Sect, he himself belonged to the Divine Sect." "He always did well, although he was always working for the Divine Sect, he never assisted in acts of cruelty but diligently fulfilled everything he was supposed to..." "Such as tracking down a deserter like me?" An Jing, who had been silent until now, raised his eyebrows upon hearing this and looked seriously at the old lady, "Hanging Fate Manor was established in these remote mountains close to the border, no doubt, he had a hand in this." "He may not truly be a pure evil person, but he certainly is no saint... ’assisting in acts of cruelty,’ this phrase, he cannot escape it." "Perhaps." Granny Huai did not contradict An Jing’s statement, she merely expressed her thoughts, "But child, are we not born into this world without choice?" "As long as we live, even merely existing... might also assist in acts of cruelty." "We are born not by our choice, only by Heaven’s Will, and how we carve our own path under this Heaven’s Will... that is the answer sought by the Divine Sect." "May I... take a look at this fragment?" Granny Huai asked somewhat mournfully, and An Jing silently handed the knuckleduster fragment to her, prompting the old woman to repeatedly express her gratitude: "Thank you, thank you..." Holding the fragment of the knuckleduster in her hands, Granny Huai gazed at it and gently caressed it, "I never knew exactly how Shu was, and now I finally understand..." An Jing felt it... through the words of Instructor Li before his death, and now Granny Huai’s explanations, he could vaguely guess what the original doctrine of the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect actually was. — From the endless complexities of the universe, find the true ’My Will’, this intention hidden among the myriad distractions, is my guiding ’Divine’. — And the one that can lead me to walk along My Will is not just personal striving; this unpredictable opportunity coupled with oneself stepping out on this path, is the ’Heaven’. This is what ’Heaven’s Will’ truly is. Seek my meaning, follow my path, tread my way. Act in accordance with one’s innate nature, pursue the goals one believes in, walk the path ’shown by the heavens’ and ultimately become ’the real self,’ which is what is called ’Heaven’s Will.’ It must be said, this set of doctrines could even be considered ’righteous’, at most it’s just not ’kind’ nor beneficial to ’everyone’. But why did the Heaven’s Will Cult transform into the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect? "Jing Xuan, Granny Huai is a member of the Heaven’s Will Cult too, but in fact, she may very likely..." Meanwhile, Ruohui also came closer and quietly shared Granny Huai’s past with An Jing. At this point, Ruohui had more or less guessed An Jing’s true identity. After all, she was quite intelligent, just that she had lived in the deep palace for many years, unfamiliar with worldly ways. But from the few words exchanged between An Jing and Granny Huai, she could fully discern that this ’Dust Li Genius’ before her was also greatly associated with the Demon Sect... Even more, he was the ’defector’ who had escaped after slaughtering those manor masters from the Demon Sect training ground! And those people Granny Huai knew well, were even more or less killed by Jing Xuan’s hands! Yet this group of people ended up together. It was a coincidence of fate... yet also seemingly inevitable. While contemplating, Ruohui couldn’t help but have a realization: no wonder he was so confident, so strong... If he could fight his way out of the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect, he could naturally overturn the True Demon Sect too! However, what was strange was that Granny Huai was not angry about this, and An Jing also appeared unusually calm. "Soul-Reviving Skills... so that’s it, this is your Fate Pattern." Upon knowing all this, An Jing looked at Granny Huai again, his expression enlightened: "The Fate Pattern of the Master of the Medicine Manor is also Soul-Reviving Skills — and the core of the Blood Pill Great Medicine, that ’treasured tray’ carrying the Fate Pattern, is also Soul-Reviving Skills!" An Jing understood everything, even why Granny Huai, despite being in the Demon Sect, still harbored such kindness and a willingness to help others. "They wanted to use you to nourish the sacred vessel... They were raising you just waiting for you to die!" He muttered to himself, his gaze towards Granny Huai sharpened: "So that’s it, Granny, you are the ’artificial Fate Weapon’ they have been raising all along!" Apart from the naturally occurring ones, the most common Fate Weapons are ’after the death of the Life Holder, their essence, soul, and Divine Sense are entrusted to an object, forming a Fate Weapon.’ Granny Huai had been nurturing life for many years, her Fate Pattern was strong, whether she died a natural death or an accidental one, her essence and soul would inevitably condense under the influence of the Ming City Earth Vein into an everyday item she used, and that item... would become the new Life-Nourishing Tray! Once Granny Huai died, her Fate Pattern and Fate Weapon would become the core of a new Hanging Fate Manor for the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect! "Even, Granny." Having understood everything, An Jing said solemnly, "Did you ever think... the source of all your sufferings, wasn’t it a bit too coincidental?" "Almost the entire caravan was wiped out, only leaving you, a child who had awakened their Fate Pattern, alive, and just then, the Northern Patrol Envoy arrived and saved you." "Don’t you think, all this is too coincidental, like it was all planned out?"
