All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes-Chapter 790 - 124: The Whirl of Fate

"Actually, it sounds a bit like doing things at the graves of ancestral teachers, but in reality, this is also the choice for most Martial Artists."

Embracing the Void thought An Jing was worried about the truth of the ’Cave Heaven and Blessed Land,’ so he comforted, "When a Martial Artist falls, the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land can dispel the surrounding Demonic Qi, purify specific Spirit Qi, making the area more suitable for the sect’s Law. The descendants will also benefit and find it easier to awaken their Fate Pattern."

"Look at Da Chen, why grant officials the ’Heavenly Official talismans’ and then reclaim the cultivation when they leave office? It’s all for better expanding territories and transforming the core surrounding cities."

An Jing certainly did not shy away from this. The Cave Heaven and Blessed Land of fallen Martial Artists benefitting their descendants is called ancestral blessing. However, he couldn’t say, ’I was just reviewing the essence of my Seven Fiend Tribulations’ Heavenly Mandate, deciding to even oppose the destiny arranged by the heavens.’ So he could only nod in agreement.

Breaking this atmosphere, it was Master Xuanyu, Ming Heguang, who arrived.

"Master, An..."

A somewhat unkempt man with a wine jug at his waist walked up swaggeringly. Since he wasn’t very familiar, he initially wanted to address An Jing by his full name but felt it might be too formal. However, An Jing saw that this senior probably didn’t care much about the hierarchy and rarely engaged in social niceties, so he greeted first, "Hello, Master!"

"Hey, hello, young disciple, come, come, this is a gift I prepared for you!"

Ming Heguang was overjoyed, immediately taking out another wine jug from his Great Void Magical Instrument: "This was originally for myself, ’Thousand Mountains White Jade Brew,’ brewed for eighty-five years, gathered from forty-nine kinds of Earth Element Spirit Objects. Drinking it gives the strength of a thousand mountains, comparable to the finest Divine Repository elixirs, with a superb taste, mellow and slightly sweet!"

"You scoundrel, what are you giving to your junior?"

Embracing the Void had been smiling at the affectionate interaction, but upon seeing the wine jug, he immediately became angry and stepped forward to snatch it: "I didn’t mind you drinking because you didn’t become a drunk, but I won’t let you get your junior drunk!"

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Next to them, An Jing noticed Embracing the Void’s change of mood when Ming Heguang took out the wine jug. However, he didn’t want his senior’s gift to become an awkward situation, so he stepped up and took the jug: "Grandmaster, Grandmaster, my senior loves wine so much and yet gave me such a cherished brew without hesitation, demonstrating his great care for me."

"Though one shouldn’t always impose one’s desires on others, it shows his affection. As the saying goes, one can’t decline a gift from an elder. How could I refuse such goodwill?"

If Ming Heguang or Guangchen had said this, Embracing the Void would probably have huffed and told them to stop spouting nonsense. He could listen, but he wouldn’t tolerate their chatter!

But An Jing was different. Embracing the Void immediately calmed down, stroking his beard and nodding: "Indeed, at least Heguang’s sincere."

Meanwhile, he felt emotional inside: "Truly a Nature Master, such keen observation! Able to anticipate my reaction before I act, and so considerate of elders, truly the blessing of the Bright Mirror Sect!"

Yet, Ming Heguang was dissatisfied, immediately complaining: "Playing favorites, Master? You’re making it too obvious!"

Embracing the Void: "Obvious it is. Sit down!"

So, the three generations, Grandmaster, Master, and Disciple, found a place to sit and had a good conversation.

Ming Heguang naturally couldn’t know An Jing’s secret of Heavenly Mandate, which was for his own good, but he learned about An Jing’s special Divine Skill from the sect and that he would be groomed as the future of the Bright Mirror Sect. He was extremely impressed: "You will have a heavy burden in the future, carrying the responsibility of the entire nine peaks and thirty-six halls. No one knows how heavy it is."

An Jing realized why Embracing the Void, who could be extremely kind, would call Ming Heguang ’lazy’—despite it being normal for him to feel some envy or yearning at An Jing’s treatment, his first thought was about the burden An Jing would bear.

He wasn’t wrong. Unless something unexpected happened, An Jing would indeed become that weightlifter... but An Jing was strong. He could carry not just the Bright Mirror Sect, but even the entire North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent or Huai Xu Realm.

After all, An Jing wasn’t power-hungry; he would get others to work for him.

"Speaking of which."

After talking more about the sect’s situation and praising An Jing’s battle in Red Tower City, Ming Heguang remembered something and reported to Embracing the Void: "I found the place where Junior Brother Su Ran fell. A small sect saw it all. I brought all of them here; they’re at the foot of the mountain. Should we inform Master Bi Ying?"

Bi Ying was Su Ran’s master. Embracing the Void wouldn’t hide the trace about his True Disciple’s death: "I’ll inform them and check the situation. The sect has many spies; we need to question them soon."

"As for you, take An Jing around the sect, show him the structure."

"Heh, that’s a bit tricky."

Ming Heguang instinctively reached for wine but was stopped by Embracing the Void’s glare. He didn’t care, "You know I’m not in the sect much, haven’t familiarized myself."

"You better be unfamiliar indeed, instead of looking for an excuse to take your disciple drinking."

Embracing the Void had no offspring; his disciples were like sons. Ming Guangchen, the second disciple, was sensible and trustworthy, tragic past, so he doted on him.

The eldest, Ming Heguang, was also good, but his carefree personality, although suitable for a Martial Artist, made Embracing the Void frequently lecture.

"Right, Master."

Before Embracing the Void left, Ming Heguang said: "Though potentially tricky, I might’ve found you a future disciple—I found a talented little Demon Spirit at that small sect, now intelligent and self-reflective, naturally fitting Bright Mirror’s principles."

"I think there’s no difference between people and Demon Spirits, both born. Our Bright Mirror Sect has many Demon Spirits; it should be fine, right?"

"No problem."

Embracing the Void wasn’t concerned about the race; as long as the talent fit, what mattered was strength and cultivation capability.

But he was curious: "Coming to intelligence and self-reflection? Such a genius, could it be a Strange Mandate, a Heaven Star Mandate level? That’s significant... An Jing, would you like to come see?"

Although An Jing had a Heavenly Mandate and his Divine Mandate was emerging, a naturally Strange Mandate was impressive enough to be trained as a True Transmission Seed. Embracing the Void and Ming Heguang wouldn’t overlook that.

Of course, An Jing wouldn’t refuse to see this future brother Demon Spirit, so they went to Bright Mirror Sect’s mountain gate together.

Bright Mirror Sect moved quickly. The Youfeng Cave’s Demon Spirits and people had settled in temporary quarters. Most were amazed by the grandeur of the Bright Mirror Sect’s Mountain Gate, and shocked by the previous Heavenly Mirror Fragment, they tucked their tails (physically) and timidly stayed in their tents.

Embracing the Void didn’t make a fuss, quietly arriving at where the little Demon Spirit stayed. Ming Heguang’s prior Spirit Fiend infusion had helped with its transformation, so it sensed Ming Heguang’s approach and swam energetically to greet him.

"Hey, future disciple, show your reflective talent again."

Ming Heguang patted the tank, and Little Bei dove back, showcasing its gifted abilities.

Immediately, a perfect reflection, indistinguishable from the real thing, appeared in the water.

"Oh."

Even An Jing raised his eyebrows, the sword mark on his forehead glowing, impressed by the extraordinary talent and seeing its Fate Pattern: "Bright Mirror Calm Water, truly a natural fit for the Bright Mirror Sect!"

This Fate Pattern combined the elements of "mirror" for the sect and "water" for the Demon Spirit’s nature, focusing on "mentality," excellent for cultivating True Spirit Demon Core, almost the best below a Divine Mandate.

"Bright Mirror Calm Water?"

Embracing the Void was satisfied with the future disciple’s talent, but upon hearing An Jing, he turned in shock: "It really is Bright Mirror Calm Water?"

Beside him, Ming Heguang’s expression changed at An Jing’s insight, growing serious despite his carefree demeanor: "Is it truly Bright Mirror Calm Water?"

"Indeed."

Seeing their reactions, An Jing realized the Fate Pattern was special: "Grandmaster, Master, what’s about this Fate Pattern?"

"The Fate Pattern itself isn’t an issue. While rare, Bright Mirror Sect had several Bright Mirror Calm Water."

Embracing the Void took a deep breath, then looked at Little Bei. His expression complex: "It’s just... coincidental."

"That True Disciple chased and killed by others... the one Ming Heguang trailed, Master Su Ran."

"His Fate Pattern was Bright Mirror Calm Water."
