Seven Deadly Sins System-Chapter 193: Nonexistence
Glancing at the Evil Refining Pagoda in her hands, Chu Wuyao decided to try out its function.
With that in mind, her Vision flashed behind it and it waved its hand, throwing a small illusory sword out.
This illusory sword would be very familiar to the disciples of the Sword Palace, as it was the Vision of Jiang Chen.
The moment this Vision appeared, it let out a shrill cry and moved on its own, rushing in the distance and wanting to leave this place as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, before it could go very far, Chu Wuyao controlled the Evil Refining Pagoda, causing it to teleport right above it.
The originally ordinary-looking pagoda suddenly exuded a supreme, majestic aura that rushed towards the illusory sword, oppressing it and preventing it from moving.
No matter how hard it tried, the illusory sword was unable to move even an inch, as if it had been stuck in a quagmire.
Realizing this, a sharp glow flashed on the illusory sword’s surface and its aura surged, looking like it was about to put up a last-ditch effort and attack the pagoda.
However, even though Chu Wuyao knew that it couldn’t cause any damage to the Evil Refining Pagoda, she still wouldn’t let it.
Her Mana surged and poured into the Evil Refining Pagoda and under her control, its gate swung open.
Terrifying darkness was revealed inside and it emitted a strong suction force, like the mouth of a hungry beast that wanted to devour its prey.
As this suction force fell on the illusory sword, the sword discovered that it was unable to resist.
Indeed, the next second, the illusory sword rushed towards the pagoda and entered its gate.
The moment it went inside, the door of the Evil Refining Pagoda immediately closed and it floated towards Chu Wuyao’s hand, while its aura became ordinary again.
Seeing this, Chu Wuyao’s expression became a little strange.
"I’m afraid that I was wrong before. Although it’s not completely intelligent, the Evil Refining Pagoda still contains traces of spirituality."
Although this spirituality was very weak, only equivalent to a Low-Grade Divine Weapon, and could not be considered a real creature, it was obvious that it was still there.
When she noticed this, a smile appeared on Chu Wuyao’s face.
"That’s good. That means that as time passes, the intelligence of the Evil Refining Pagoda will steadily increase, until one day, it completely recovers.", Chu Wuyao whispered, but with a second thought, she shook her head.
She knew that the time needed for this to happen would be measured in decades, if not in hundreds of years.

Perhaps for other cultivators, waiting so long for such a powerful Magic Weapon was worth it, but Chu Wuyao, who had only spent less than two years to go from a mortal to her current state, was unable to wait so long.
Thinking of this, Chu Wuyao stopped daydreaming about the future and returned to the present.
Her thoughts moved and entered the Evil Refining Pagoda, and five different spaces appeared in her mind.
Four of these spaces were completely empty, but one of them, the third one, was not.
Instead, there was an illusory sword inside this space, which constantly floated around looking as if it wanted to find a way to escape.
But let alone the mere Vision of an Awakening Realm cultivator, even if a Nirvana Realm cultivator fell inside the Evil Refining Pagoda, it would be impossible for them to escape.
This was true even now when the Evil Refining Pagoda lacked a weapon spirit and could not exert its full power.
Staring at the illusory sword, Chu Wuyao didn’t hesitate and poured her Mana into it.
The moment her Mana poured into the Evil Refining Pagoda, countless purple metal chains appeared in the third space and they rushed towards the illusory sword at an extremely high speed.
Before the illusory sword could dodge or put up any defense, the purple chains had bound it tightly, submerging it entirely.
The next second, a dazzling light flashed on these purple metal chains, and by the moment that light had disappeared, the chains had also disappeared with it.
Disappearing together with the light and the chains was also the illusory sword, which could now no longer be found in the space inside the pagoda.
A small white drop of liquid remained in the place it originally stood, which exuded a powerful aura and was surrounded by boundless white mist.
The moment Chu Wuyao’s gaze landed on this drop of liquid, her eyes couldn’t help but flash.
She immediately realized that this should be a drop of spiritual liquid.
"No. To be more accurate, it is less than a tenth of a drop of spiritual liquid.", Chu Wuyao muttered and she had an urge to take it out and absorb it.
She could sense an extreme longing coming from her body as if absorbing this white droplet would be very beneficial to her, even more beneficial than absorbing Jiang Chen’s Vision.
Fortunately, Chu Wuyao managed to take a deep breath and calm down.
"I’m afraid that I’ll explode and burst into pieces if I were to swallow it with my current strength and realm.", she judged.
The levels of Chu Wuyao and this spiritual liquid were entirely different and made it impossible for her to absorb it, similar to how an ant couldn’t swallow an elephant.
But even though Chu Wuyao could understand this, it was hard for her to control herself under the urging of her body.
Her rationality and feelings "fought" fiercely against each other, and fortunately, her rationality was the final winner.
Although she was reluctant, Chu Wuyao could only put the Evil Refining Pagoda aside for the time being, and try to see if she could make use of the spiritual liquid after her breakthrough to the Awakening Realm.
To calm herself down, she took out the ordinary cauldron that she had found in Zhang Yang’s space ring, and took out a few white chrysanthemums, before controlling the Six Paths Vision to swallow them.

While Chu Wuyao was busy cultivating and Xia Qianyue and Li Ruoshi were in a fierce battle, in another hidden secret space located at the very center of the Howling Ghost Forest, a black-clothed cultivator was kneeling in front of a large statue with a pious expression.
The cultivator exuded a powerful aura and it was obvious that they had reached the Awakening Realm, while their face was covered by a black hood.
Only the bottom half of their face was revealed, making it clear that they were actually a man.
"My Lord, it’s time to take action.", the man faced the statue and whispered in a low voice, his eyes flashing with a red light under the black hood.
The man’s words didn’t receive any answer, as if he was the only person in this whole space.
However, the man waited calmly, waiting for his object of worship to respond.
The wait seemed to be worth it as a few seconds later, the statue in front of him began changing.
Countless transparent lights gathered around the statue and flashed brightly, while a blurry majestic figure appeared above it and fell, merging with the statue below.
Under the man’s fanatical eyes, the aura of the statue rapidly increased, and before long, the lights around it retreated.
The next moment, the statue’s eyes gained some clarity, as if life had been infused into the statue.

"Is another section of the formation about to be completed?"
"After this, only a few more sections will be remaining. As long as we gather some more Destiny, we’ll finally be able to enter this world.", an inaudible whisper came from the statue and it didn’t need the man’s explanation.
The moment it descended into this world, it could already understand everything that happened.
Ignoring the man on the ground, the statue’s eyes flashed with a dazzling light and its gaze penetrated the entire Howling Ghost Forest, looking at all the cultivators that had gathered here with emotionless, indifferent eyes.
However, that soon changed.
As a being that had reached the top of the world, it was hard for there to be any fluctuation in the statue’s mood, but when his eyes landed on Chu Wuyao, Xia Qianyue, and Li Ruoshi, it couldn’t help but be a little surprised.
"Such a powerful gathering of Destiny. Are these three the Destined of this world?"
"Especially that woman. She possesses most of the Destiny of this world.", the statue thought, and filled with curiosity, it decided to take a look.
A long illusory river flashed in front of its eyes, and the next moment, countless images appeared, all depicting a white-haired woman.
These images depicted the woman cultivating, the woman fighting against her enemies, the woman receiving the inheritance of another world...
The eyes of the statue flashed with a subtle look as it looked at Chu Wuyao’s past and future and it was able to "watch" everything about her as if it was watching a movie.
"No! No! Wrong!", the statue suddenly spoke and with a thought, the images in its eyes changed.
The images were mostly the same, but now, Chu Wuyao had completely disappeared from them.
In the stone statue’s eyes, the enemies that Chu Wuyao had killed now died on their own, facing inexplicable attacks, while the people that Chu Wuyao had interacted with seemed to interact to speak on their own.
"How is this possible? Why are there no traces of her existence in the River of Time?", the statue whispered, and even with its countless years of experience, it was unable to hide the shock in its voice.
