Chapter 236: Chapter 148: 1 Throne of Kings, All Immortal Kings of the World, Come and Receive Your Death

She shook her head and also slowly walked away.

In an instant, only Wang Xiao and Shangguan Xiyue remained in Qianqing Hall.

Shangguan Xiyue couldn’t help but say,

"Young Master, no matter what happens, I will stay by your side."

She had naturally also sensed the powerful auras spreading throughout Celestial Capital.

These were the auras of Immortal Kings, and their numbers were growing.

These Immortal Kings were all here for her Young Master!

Wang Xiao smiled faintly.

"Alright, you make it sound like a life-or-death parting. Those people outside are nothing more than skeletons in a tomb. They can’t even comprehend their own Dao, yet they foolishly attempt to take a shortcut."

"Heh, just focus your mind and spirit. I will help you become an Immortal King. When the time comes, those Immortal Kings outside can serve as your whetstones."

"Yes." Shangguan Xiyue nodded.

Wang Xiao said no more. He quietly activated the Destiny Qi Mechanism within his Inner World—a golden, fruit-like energy that orbited his Great Daoist Nascent Soul.

HUMMM! 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

In that instant, the Destiny Qi Mechanism emitted waves of profound and mysterious fluctuations that enveloped Shangguan Xiyue.

The next moment, a transparent thread, visible only to Wang Xiao, appeared on Shangguan Xiyue.

One end of this transparent thread was connected to the Void, while the other was coiled, loop by loop, around Wang Xiao.

’The end connected to the Void is Shangguan Xiyue’s past Destiny. The past cannot be changed. Even though I have comprehended the Destiny Great Dao, there’s nothing I can do about it.’

Wang Xiao’s Divine Thought surged.

Suddenly, an invisible, great hand reached out from his Inner World and touched the transparent thread.

HUMMM!

In that instant, a series of images suddenly appeared before Wang Xiao’s eyes.

They were events from Shangguan Xiyue’s past.

However, these images were like flowers in the water or the moon in a mirror.

He could only look at them; he couldn’t touch them at all.

As for the future, it was a vast expanse of Fog.

Wang Xiao could not see it clearly.

He knew this was because his Destiny Dao Fruit had not yet fully condensed.

Therefore, even though his Destiny was deeply entangled with Shangguan Xiyue’s, the Hand of Destiny could not peer into her future.

What Wang Xiao could do now was alter a part of Shangguan Xiyue’s present Destiny.

This part of her Destiny was intertwined with his own thread of Destiny.

Compared to altering other parts of her Destiny, this would be much easier.

Wang Xiao’s Divine Thought surged out, locating the part of their entangled Destinies that was related to Cultivation.

Then, he channeled the Hand of Destiny and gently plucked his own thread of Destiny.

At the same time, he infused some of his own thoughts and intentions into this thread of Destiny.

His intention was simple: to make Shangguan Xiyue immediately perceive the unseen Heaven and Earth Laws and become an Immortal King!

HUMMM!

Instantly, Wang Xiao’s thread of Destiny began to vibrate violently.

Wisps of an indescribable Dao Charm radiated from it, quickly spreading to the part of Shangguan Xiyue’s Destiny thread related to her Cultivation.

"Hm?!"

Shangguan Xiyue’s beautiful eyes suddenly focused.

She felt as if this corner of Heaven and Earth had produced some faint, unseen ripples.

She unconsciously released her Bright Moon True Form, letting it merge with Heaven and Earth.

Then, she discovered that the aura of the Heaven and Earth Laws, which she could never perceive before, was now clearly manifesting before her very eyes.

A faint moonlight began to glow around her, making her as pure and radiant as a fairy from the moon.

However, this moonlight also exuded a dangerous aura of Death, as if it could bury everything!

’Bright Moon... Nether Moon... So this is how the Bright Moon Law exists. It illuminates the earth while simultaneously burying the darkness...’

A flash of understanding arose in Shangguan Xiyue’s heart.

She could finally perceive the Bright Moon Law clearly.

This meant she was another step closer to becoming an Earth Immortal.

Because only by perceiving the Bright Moon Law could one capture it and ultimately become an Earth Immortal!

According to Shangguan Xiyue’s estimations,

it would have originally taken her at least forty to fifty years to reach this stage.

But now, in just an instant, her Young Master had helped her reach it.

Shangguan Xiyue couldn’t help but marvel inwardly.

She had never seen such a Magic Technique, one that could help someone advance in this way!

Just then, Wang Xiao suddenly let out a cough.

Then, his head of black hair began to turn white at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His entire being seemed to have aged a hundred years in an instant.

However, this state only lasted for a moment.

Wang Xiao then returned to his original state, looking no different than before.

Shangguan Xiyue knew it wasn’t an illusion. She hurriedly stepped forward and asked nervously,

"Young Master, are you alright?"

Her tone was laced with self-blame, knowing that it was surely because of her that her Young Master had ended up in such a state.

Wang Xiao shook his head.

"I’m fine. It was just a necessary price to pay."

Altering another person’s Destiny was never that simple.

Even when altering the easiest part, one would inevitably be affected.

Just now, for instance, he had forcibly changed the trajectory of Shangguan Xiyue’s Cultivation Destiny.

As a result, a hundred years of his own lifespan had vanished into thin air.

Although a hundred years was an almost negligible loss compared to Wang Xiao’s lifespan of over ten thousand years,

it was still proof that changing fate was no easy task.

Fortunately, this simple experiment had also given Wang Xiao a clearer understanding of how to use the Hand of Destiny.

Altering another’s Destiny was just one of its applications.

Destiny was wondrous and ever-changing; naturally, there were other ways to use it.

For example, transferring Destiny!

Forcibly transferring a part of one’s own Destiny onto someone else.

Because it was merely a transfer, it didn’t involve forcibly infusing any of Wang Xiao’s own thoughts or intentions.
