Chapter 565: Chapter 7: News Spreads

“Over a hundred super warriors attacked Zhang Xuan, but he slaughtered more than half of them consecutively, and even the Buddha and Demon Lord were beaten to retreat?”

“The heavens issued a Chaotic Destiny Heaven Tribulation Decree to hinder him from absorbing power, yet he slaughtered countless experts, absorbed their strength, and directly broke through to the 9th Life Sea level?”

“What kind of monster is this? How can there be such a terrifying entity in the world?”

“No wonder he’s a Tier 1 Fate Controller, born under great Qi Fortune. The world is bound to change!”

“I think not necessarily. With the issuance of the Chaotic Destiny Heaven Tribulation Decree, everyone seeks to destroy him. Many Tier 2 Fate Controllers have failed, perhaps those Tier 1 Fate Controllers are preparing to take action.”

…

Less than a day after the battle at Qingqiu Mountain ended, the news spread to every corner of the Source World.

If previously all powers and experts treated Zhang Xuan as a talent with great potential, now they regard him as comparable to the Tianli Empire’s massive presence.

Not to mention, just upon returning, he controlled the nine branches of the Love Destiny. Over time, each disciple would likely grow to rival Bodhisattvas, or even… the Buddha!

After all, one person controlling two types of Tier 2 Heavenly Destinies is extremely rare in the history of the Source World, and now, suddenly nine have emerged…

“From today on, Zhang Xuan will be my lifelong idol!”

In a luxurious tavern in Tianli City, two rangers slapped the table and rose, filled with admiration as they contemplated that young man’s actions.

“He’s my idol too. Being hunted by Crown Prince Yuanqing until now, in less than two months, he’s attained a cultivation comparable to the Buddha’s. Throughout the entire history of the Source World, he must be considered the first, right?”

“Of course, otherwise how can he earn our admiration… To be honest with you, my three sisters constantly urge me to find out more about Zhang Xuan. They’re all eager to offer themselves to him!”

“I don’t even want to marry your sisters, let alone a genius like Zhang Xuan. Better to let them give up!”

“Shen’s right, marrying your sisters would be worse than marrying me, even though I’m a guy, I’m enticing!”

Various discussions filled the tavern. As long as there’s conversation, eight out of ten are about Zhang Xuan and his glorious achievements.

In less than a day, this young man appeared like a meteor and became a national idol, the pursuit of all cultivators.

All major powers were shocked.

At the headquarters of the Heaven Mandate Hall, footsteps echoed in the deep Phantasm Space, as a tall figure strode forward.

The figure pointed a finger, sending a beam of light into the Phantasm Space. He waited anxiously for a full quarter of an hour before an elder slowly emerged.

It was the supreme controller of the Heaven Mandate Hall, Yuan Sheng.

“Hao Tianyi, why such urgency?”

Hall Master Yuan Sheng appeared calm.

Hao Tianyi, one of inheritors of the Source Heavenly Destiny, unfortunately couldn’t compete with that suddenly appearing lady, Nie Lingxi (Luo Ruoxin).

“Reporting to Master, Zhang Xuan has consecutively killed over nine Tier 2 Fate Controllers and thirty Tier 3 Fate Controllers, causing chaos at Qingqiu Mountain…”

Hao Tianyi dared not withhold anything and quickly reported all the details.

“He, he has become so strong?”

Hall Master Yuan Sheng widened his eyes.

He had met Zhang Xuan back in Zouyi City when he was just a small fry at the Galaxy Realm. Little did he expect that in just a few months, he’d grow to such an extent.

“Actually, it’s not entirely his fault. The Buddha and Demon Lord led the charge, gathering more than half of the Tier 2 and Tier 3 Heavenly Destinies, reporting to the heavens, issuing the Chaotic Destiny Heaven Tribulation Decree on Zhang Xuan… Only out of desperation did he retaliate fiercely…”

Hao Tianyi explained.

“I know!” Hall Master Yuan Sheng nodded.

When the Wuxiang Soul Court opened, he went there, thinking even with high talent, Zhang Xuan wouldn’t withstand the siege of so many experts. He never imagined not only would he withstand but also counterattack successfully…

It’s simply unimaginable.

“A Mandate Chaos Master must be eliminated by the Heaven Mandate Hall, or else the heavens will punish. Master, what should we do now?”

Hao Tianyi looked over.

His haste in coming was to ask clearly about the next steps.

The Heaven Mandate Hall, the gathering place of Fate Masters, cannot let a Mandate Chaos Master go unchecked. It brings penalties from both the heavens and the loss of authority.

“This Zhang Xuan is the husband of your senior sister Nie Lingxi. If the Heaven Mandate Hall takes action to hunt, I fear he might leave abruptly like the others.” Hall Master Yuan Sheng shook his head. “Let’s not rush; observe the actions of others. Neither the Buddha, Demon Lord, nor the Tianli Empire will let this slide. Act only when the situation is clear.”

“Yes!”

Hao Tianyi nodded, cupped his fist, and turned to leave.

Seeing his disciple leave, Hall Master Yuan Sheng rubbed his temples and walked further into the depths of the Phantasm Space.

This was a special divine realm for understanding the Source Heavenly Destiny. Recently, he’s been teaching Nie Lingxi here, rarely involving himself with outside affairs.

“How should I tell her?” Hall Master Yuan Sheng asked, slightly troubled.

Having finally found an inheritor, he doesn’t want her to leave abruptly. Besides, having a student’s wife as a disciple and then sending people to kill her husband is indeed a delicate matter.

“Master, no need to say anything. I will strive hard in practice, unaffected by romance distractions…”

Just as he was pondering how to speak, a shadow not far away flickered, and Nie Lingxi abruptly appeared.

She had already arrived during his conversation with Hao Tianyi and heard everything clearly.

“You’re going to cultivate? That’s great…” Hall Master Yuan Sheng nodded with satisfaction.

He was genuinely afraid she’d leave like Zhao Ya and the others, abandoning her destiny. It seems she has made no such extreme decision.

“Yes, Master, I shall continue to perceive my destiny…”

Having explained, Nie Lingxi said no more and turned away. Only when she was far from Hall Master Yuan Sheng did her eyes flicker with deep concern.

“Zhang Xuan, wait for me…”

As his wife, she knew the pressure and dangers Zhang Xuan faced and understood that abandoning her destiny now to seek him would be more harmful than beneficial.

Searching for him is to aid and support him, not to be a burden. Understanding the Source Heavenly Destiny and quickly improving cultivation is the best strategy.

The same circumstances occurred in the divine domain where the Space-Time Saint resided.

Luo Qiqi’s gaze was firm without a trace of wavering.

Having journeyed together for so long, she knows what should and shouldn’t be done. Instead of merely tagging along, unable to fight, it’s better to practice in peace and quickly catch up with him.

Only with equal strength can she help solve his troubles, instead of offering mere companionship.
