Library of Heaven’s Path 2: Eternal Destiny

“I know you\'re in there! I\'ll count to three. If you don’t come out, I won’t hear a word of explanation. And by then, it’ll be too late for excuses. Three…”

Standing atop the Source Beast, Min Jiangtao clasped his hands behind his back, his eyes brimming with indifference and arrogance.

Just a disgraced disciple cast out by the master years ago. His senior brother was killed, yet he remained apathetic and continued chatting idly with others. If he wasn’t taught a lesson, he might forget the master’s authority and the rules of the Mo Dao Sect.

However, Zhang Xuan found it strange.

Who even is this guy?

Coming here so brazenly and shouting like this.

Yet since this person dared to yell with such confidence, there must be some connection to Ling Buyang. Playing this role, Zhang Xuan couldn’t simply ignore it. He turned to Ouyang Hai with an awkward smile, “Apologies, another visitor has arrived…”

“…One! You’ve run out of chances to explain!”

Before Zhang Xuan could finish, Min Jiangtao completed his count. His brow furrowed, and he pulled out a Mo Dao blade, slashing straight at the living room before him.

The blade carried immense power, far stronger than that of Mo Qing. Its aura surged like a tidal wave. Even before it struck, the bricks and tiles of the courtyard began creaking under the pressure, seemingly unable to withstand the impending slash.

Zhang Xuan frowned.

Clearly, this person’s comprehension of the Mo Dao was superior to his own. Before his breakthrough, Zhang Xuan would’ve needed to use the Pathos of Heaven Sword Technique

to block it. But now, with his full power, he should be able to stop the attack.

Flipping his wrist, Zhang Xuan was about to draw the Cold Nether Sword when Ouyang Hai beside him could no longer stay still.

Who was he?

An elder of the Wanchang Sect headquarters, a cultivator standing at the pinnacle of the world. For someone of his stature, even the Mo Dao Sect’s Sect Master Mo Baiye, or the Emperor of the Zouyi Dynasty, would need to show deference in his presence. For this mere disciple to act so recklessly was courting death.

“Hmph!”

A soft snort resounded like a thunderclap, its deep vibrations shaking the heavens.

Without even standing, Ouyang Hai reached out into the air. The radiant blade aura vanished in an instant, and before Min Jiangtao could react, he was pulled from the sky and thrown to his knees in the courtyard.

The Source Beast he rode fared no better—its mouth was sealed, its wings twisted into a pretzel, and its hooves bent in humiliation. As it knelt in the hall, Dao Li curiously circled the beast. �

Min Jiangtao had used all his strength, yet in the face of Ouyang Hai, he was no more than a bug to be crushed.

Sun Qiang\'s eyes widened in disbelief.

He had thought that Ouyang Hai’s earlier humility meant he was weak. But now it was clear—he was overwhelmingly strong!

Thankfully, he had been respectful earlier. If this man had struck, Sun Qiang wouldn’t have lasted half a move.

“Young Master is amazing. Even such a powerful figure is terrified into handing over treasures…”

Recalling Zhang Xuan’s calm demeanor, Sun Qiang’s eyes were full of admiration.

He had always wanted to show off, but compared to Young Master, he still had a long way to go.

Unaware of Sun Qiang’s thoughts, Zhang Xuan turned to the kneeling Min Jiangtao. A book materialized in his mind.

“Min Jiangtao, second disciple of Mo Baiye, Star River Realm Second Level Peak, comprehended the second stage of the Mo Dao Heaven’s Fate…”

When Min Jiangtao wielded his blade earlier, Zhang Xuan had activated the Library of Heaven’s Path, which provided his detailed information.

As his gaze fell upon the entry “Flaw: Impotence,” Zhang Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed the Mo Dao Sect disciples all suffered from this issue.

Whether this was a side effect of cultivating Heaven’s Fate or a prerequisite for success, he couldn’t say.

Noticing Zhang Xuan deep in thought, Ouyang Hai grew uneasy. Worried that his actions might have displeased this powerful figure, he spoke nervously, “Vice Hall Master Ling, I intervened because this man was being insolent. If I was out of line…”

Zhang Xuan waved dismissively. “It’s fine.”

Not dwelling on the issue, he continued, “As I was saying, what kind of training and Heaven’s Fate will Wanchang Sect provide for the three of them?”

“These extraordinary talents will undoubtedly be given access to the most powerful Heaven’s Fate of our Wanchang Sect. Rest assured, we will nurture them as inheritors, not just ordinary disciples,” Ouyang Hai said quickly, eager to reassure him.

“That’s good…” Zhang Xuan nodded, relieved.

For Ouyang Hai to travel so far and offer such generous terms was proof of his sincerity. This was indeed a valuable opportunity for Zhao Ya and the others.

“Very well, Zhao Ya, Wang Ying, Zheng Yang, go with Elder Ouyang. Train diligently and aim for great accomplishments!”

“Yes!”

The three hesitated to speak but ultimately remained silent. They knew that clinging too closely to their teacher would only invite trouble, given their talents. It was better to leave and grow stronger.

“You need strength to relieve your teacher’s burdens…” Zhang Xuan sent a telepathic message to comfort them.

The three fell silent, their resolve solidified.

Ouyang Hai, seeing no resistance, was overjoyed. “In that case, I won’t overstay my welcome. Farewell!”

He turned to Min Jiangtao. “Vice Hall Master Ling, should I take care of this troublemaker for you?”

“No need…” Zhang Xuan waved him off.

There was still a role for this man to play. Killing him now would be wasteful.

“Very well, we’ll be on our way!”

Grabbing Zhao Ya, Wang Ying, and Zheng Yang with a special energy, Ouyang Hai stepped forward, and the four disappeared into a spatial rift.

Watching them vanish, Min Jiangtao was horrified.

The power to rip open space was something only the most advanced cultivators on the continent possessed.

When did Ling Buyang form such connections with these unfathomable figures?

As fear replaced his earlier arrogance, Ling Buyang approached with a smile. “Senior Brother Min, you’re here! Elder Ouyang didn’t realize we were joking and accidentally struck you down… Please, rise.”

With Zhang Xuan’s help, Min Jiangtao managed to stand, his gaze still wary. “That Elder Ouyang… Who is he? How is he so powerful?”

Instead of answering, Zhang Xuan turned to Yue Longxiao. “Sect Master Yue, could you explain to my senior brother?”

Yue Longxiao stepped forward. “I am Yue Longxiao, Sect Master of Wanchang Sect’s Cold Abyss City branch. Elder Ouyang is a senior elder from our headquarters, Ouyang Hai.”

“Headquarters?”

Min Jiangtao froze, the realization of Ouyang Hai’s true status leaving him pale.

This wasn’t Ling Buyang. It couldn’t be. His junior brother couldn’t possibly have ties to such powerful people.
