Chapter 714 Fate One

w.a.n.g Wei looked into the distance, and his eyes seemed to penetrate infinite s.p.a.ce and time.

"Have your path come to an end? Well, you should be proud of your achievements since even I could not do better," he muttered with deep praise in his eyes. Soon, he landed on a floating island habited by one individual: Yu Siyu, Dong Lifen's master from the Luck Trial.

Yu Siyu no longer looked like an old woman; she now looked middle-aged and quite beautiful, garnering the affection of many Elders from the older generation. However, she refused everyone's courts.h.i.+p.

She had a small garden next to her small wooden house. Yu Siyu was watering him when she sensed something and turned around. She stopped what she was doing and walked toward w.a.n.g Wei.

"Sect master," she bowed politely.

w.a.n.g Wei nodded as he observed her. She had a peaceful aura as she naturally blended with the surrounding Heaven and Earth. She was at the peak of the Saint Realm, close to becoming a True Monarch.

"Sect master, please come in; I'll serve tea."

w.a.n.g Wei followed inside, and the house was as simple as Yan Chen's hut. The only difference was the larger s.p.a.ce and a few more rooms. However, there was no decoration or any form of luxury or comfort besides a bed in one of the rooms.

Yu Siyu served tea, and w.a.n.g Wei took a sip.

"Great tea," he commented with some surprise. The tea was sweet but not too sweet, had a mellow aftertaste, and a power of the Wood Element that nourished the body and mind. Long-term consumption of this tea can even increase the life span for Saint Realm cultivators.

"I cultivate it myself," said Yu Siyu. She cultivated the Dao of Wood and is an excellent spiritual herb planter. She used her skill to help the sect take care of many gardens; that's how Yu Siyu acquired sect points. Although w.a.n.g Wei ordered the sect to provide her with an upper-level disciple level of resources, she did not feel it was okay to accept all these rewards without paying anything in return.

Recently, she developed this new tea that can increase the life span of Saint and below cultivators, and the sect has rewarded her immensely, making Yu Siyu's mood very happy since she finally felt she could help.

"I'm sorry I did come to see you more often," said w.a.n.g Wei after realizing how little he paid attention to her. If not for the fact he's recently been thinking about her, he would not have come here. Otherwise, he would have known about such an achievement.

"It's fine. I understand the sect master is busy." Yu Siyu did not mind. She knew very well that the sect took good care of her because the latter made a promise and wanted to keep his words: nothing more and nothing less. Even back in the Warring Kingdom World, she understood they were from two different worlds. So, she never dreamt of having any relations.h.i.+p with w.a.n.g Wei.

"That's good. I see you're about to become a True Monarch. Do you have your own Dao?"

"Almost. I am saving enough sect points to listen to the 3000 Dao Orbs and create my scripture."

w.a.n.g Wei could tell Yu Siyu was a unique talent similar to Zhen Buyi or Mao Yue that involved temperament or state of mind. While Zhen Buyi has a Pure Heart, his grandmother was detached from life and death, and Yu Siyu is slow and steady, not affected by external affairs, knowing when to advance and retreat.

'It's a form of Taoism's inaction,' a.n.a.lyzed w.a.n.g Wei. These types of state of mind or temperament make it easier for individuals to comprehend the law. So, once they reached the Void Shattering Realm, they usually began to s.h.i.+ne.

"You should look into Toaist Cultivation," commented w.a.n.g Wei.

"An Elder from the Preaching Hall told me the same thing, but the sect does not have that many pure Taoist Scripture."

w.a.n.g Wei waved his hand to hand her a s.p.a.ce ring containing hundreds of Information Talismans, all with Taoist Scriptures. His Fate Shadow Guard has now perfectly infiltrated many of the Emperor Lineagesincluding the Taiyi Profound Gate and the Five Elements Palace. They have even begun to access these Lineages' Emperor Scriptures. Although they are not the original copy of Dao Rhymes, w.a.n.g Wei did not need the original with his comprehension level.

"Thank you," said Yu Siyu after checking a few of the jade Talismans. She was not hypocritical and rejected him. She understood she owed this man too much Karma. If not for him, she would not be able to achieve her dreams of walking the cultivation path and slowly climbing to the peak.

If not for him, she probably would have failed her attempt to break through to the Divine Altar Realm, leaving the mortal coil.

"Sect master, why did you come to see me? I'm willing to go to h.e.l.l and back if you need something." w.a.n.g Wei was her benefactor, and Yu Siyu was willing to go to extreme lengths to repay him. Although such an act goes against her ideals of peace, tranquility, and steady progress, she would not hesitate to repay her karma.

"It's not that serious. I"m here to ask you about the position of Fate One."

"Fate One?"

w.a.n.g Wei then realized this was not the kind of secret someone like Yu Siyu would be privy to, so he explained the situation to her.

"You want to give such an important position to me?"

"Yes."

Yu Siyu's heart beat faster. She has pondered her future cultivation and what she will do after becoming a Quasi-Emperor. Yu Siyu has no ambition or desire for the Emperor's Path; this is a path for the ambitious, the bold and the brave, the dreamersthe people with the heart to support Heaven and Earth. And such a path was not suitable for her.

So, she concluded she had two choices: the first was to travel to a Great Thousand World and see if she could pa.s.s the trial and become a Dao Ancestor. However, this path was a challenging one. According to her research, the success rate of becoming a Dao Ancestor through this method is very low.

The second choice is to seal herself and hope some Emperor in the future will help her become an Immortal Venerable. However, once again, this is a path with a slim chance. After all, the sect has too many people waiting for similar opportunities; who knows when it will be her turn?

Finally, a tiny part of Yu Siyu hoped maybe her disciple would one day also prove the Dao and help her. After all, the sect master once commented her disciple was extremely talented. That is, if the latter did not forget their master-disciple relations.h.i.+p after so many years.

As for w.a.n.g Wei helping her achieve immortality? Yu Siyu never dreamt of it. The sect master has helped her plenty, so she did not expect him to continue doing so.

Many thoughts flashed in Yu Siyu's mind as she quickly calmed down, controlling her agitated emotions. "Sect master, you don't need to continue helping just because of a promise."

"This is not the reason I chose you. The criteria to become Fate One is someone who can endure the loneliness of the slow cultivation in the lower dimension. Someone who can dedicate their entire immortal life to protecting the sect and its foundation.

"Your temperament, ideals, and ambitions make you perfect for this role. That's why I chose you."

"What about my talent?" Yu Siyu knew her temperament cultivated in the backward and barren Small Great Thousand allowed her to catch up to some of the geniuses of this plane, but it did not change her innate talent was very poor.

"Your current talent is not considered bad," replied w.a.n.g Wei. With the sect's resources, Yu Siyu did receive a few opportunities to increase her talent. It's just she cannot remove the mindset she was from a low background, and thus she was not talented.

"Plus, there will be plenty of ways to increase your talent after I prove the Dao."

"But I don't cultivate Fate Dao."

"And you don't need to. After becoming Fate One, you can continue your own Dao; you'll only have access to some of my Fate Abilities." Her situation will be similar to w.a.n.g Ju's. Although she cultivated Shadow Dao, she will also have access to Fate Abilities after becoming Shadow Three.

Yu Siyu had a look of hesitation.

"If you worry about whether you're worthy of this opportunity, don't. Since I say you are worthy, then you are. If you are worried about the karma you owe me, repay it by protecting the sect.

"This is a great chance presented before you: don't hesitate and follow your heart."

Yu Siyu's eyes brightened as she understood this was not a simple offer. No, this was a fortunate encounter to acquire an Immortal Destiny. As long as she accepts, she will have the chance to escape the shackles of death and continue her goal of slowly climbing the cultivation ladder.

"I accept," she replied decisively, choosing not to pa.s.s on this opportunity.

"I'm glad," nodded w.a.n.g Wei before discussing everything in more detail with her. After he finished, he prepared to leave, but Yu Siyu asked him:

"Sect master, I wonder how my disciple is? The sect told me the Warring Kingdom World was gone from its former coordinate."
