Chu Yang still remembered that when he left the Mo Clan, Mo Tianji once said he had obtained the true teachings to control the world and could slightly glimpse heaven's secret and fortune.
He remembered Mo Tianji's confident demeanor when he said this. Chu Yang knew that Mo Tianji would not just say he had "slightly glimpsed" something so casually; he must have attained a deep understanding to make such a statement.
Given Mo Tianji's character, he was definitely not one to brag. Even if he only had a 60% certainty, he would never express it. Now that he spoke up, it must mean he had at least an 80% confidence!
This meant he was quite sure about predicting heaven's secret, seeking fortune, and avoiding calamity.
But now, in this situation, it was clear he was suffering from heaven's secret backlash!
Chu Yang furrowed his brow tightly, his expression dark. But if that were the case, the timing didn't add up.
"Did your patriarch start divining heaven's secret right after I left? Did it begin at the moment of sword energy soaring to the sky?" Chu Yang asked.
"Yes... uh, no." The second elder's gray beard quivered.
"What is it, yes or no?" Chu Yang was getting a little anxious. Was this old man unable to speak clearly?
"At the moment of sword energy soaring to the sky, the patriarch began. However, nothing unusual occurred at that time; rather, the patriarch seemed somewhat pleased. It was only after waiting for three hours that he suddenly had another feeling, and this time... there was an accident."
Chu Yang silently calculated in his heart, and finally, he was suddenly alarmed.
According to the timing, it should have been when he let the Sword Spirit possess him that Mo Tianji began divining again, but he suffered heaven's secret backlash. However, the information revealed before he fell unconscious was quite shocking to Chu Yang.
Heaven's secret is chaotic, the sword heart is severed; Desperate Lake, no other shore!
What did this signify?
Heaven's secret is chaotic because he broke the fate; what does a severed sword heart mean? The Desperate Lake having no other shore—does it mean that this Nine Calamity Sword Master... would remain in this Desperate Lake, never able to reach the other side?
As he thought, Chu Yang suddenly smiled to himself: Is my life as a Nine Calamity Sword Master a struggle against heaven? Reversing fate... is this not yet over?
Moreover... if he truly couldn't get through this time... would he have any regrets?
Lost in thought, Chu Yang finally smiled.
Mo Qingwu had already changed her fate; from now on, her life would be smooth sailing. Even without him by her side, there shouldn't be any crises. Moreover, she was still young, and after growing up without him, she might not hold on to her childhood feelings...
As for his brothers, each had already found their own path, and he needn't worry about them anymore.
His background... was also clear enough...
Hehe.
Chu Yang murmured to himself, "If that's the case, then so be it."
After saying this, he sat down, silently thinking: "Perhaps I had regrets in my previous life, but this life, however, is... complete."
Complete?
Chu Yang felt it was complete, but... in reality, if he were to die now, the regrets of this life would definitely be greater.
It was just that there were many things he didn't know yet, that was all.
Tan Tan walked over, smirking oddly: "Heaven's secret is chaotic, the sword heart is severed? Chu Yang, you're going to have bad luck."
Though the second elder's words were low, with the Demon King's vast power, how could he not hear? There was inevitably a hint of schadenfreude in his tone.
He had the deepest feelings about this most unpredictable celestial crisis; he himself had been buried for a hundred thousand years. Now, seeing another person about to face such a fate, he couldn't help but feel a bit of "I am not alone in this path."
Especially since this person was the one who resisted the life path of the Nine Calamity Sword Master set by that individual back then, which made him feel even more amused.
