Library of Heaven’s Path 2: Eternal Destiny

Vol 2 Ch 108: Family

“Alright, I’ll go first!”

Sun Qiang nodded and walked to the stone tablet.

“No need to activate the Destiny you’ve comprehended; just relax, the Wànxiàng Stele will naturally perform the test…” Master Qian Yuhuan of the Wànxiàng Sect said.

Sun Qiang responded, and when the young master tested earlier, he had paid close attention. It should be simple.

Thinking this, he placed his palm gently on the stone tablet.

“Whum!”

A red light immediately flashed out.

“To have two Destiny Masters appear from one test, this is quite a spectacle…”

Normally, a test might have one person pass out of ten, but for two people to pass in the same session is incredibly rare…

“Ahem, Hall Master, before the test, there are still the horse and the chicken…”

Elder Zhu Xun, who was about to explain the spectacle caused by Yan Thirty-Three, saw the Wànxiàng Stele shake once more.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“Whum~~”

An orange light flashed out again.

“???”

What he was about to say got stuck in his throat, and he couldn’t speak another word.

It wasn’t just him; Master Qian Yuhuan was also completely stunned.

Just now, the four colors had been flashing continuously, which could have meant the Wànxiàng Stele was broken. But how is it that this fat guy also released two types of light? �

Everyone around went silent again, looking at each other in confusion.

Four types of light flashing might as well have been a ghost sighting…

And now, it was two ghost sightings?

“Um… Master Qian, is this also broken?”

Zhang Xuan awkwardly pulled Sun Qiang back and spoke up.

Though he didn’t know why this guy was showing two colors, he figured it was better to keep a low profile for now.

“Should be…”

Master Qian Yuhuan stiffly responded. After a moment, he pointed to another side, “This is the last Wànxiàng Stele of our sect…”

The Wànxiàng Sect of the Zòuyì Dynasty only had three Wànxiàng Stele in total. If this one was broken, there would be no more tests.

“Alright, go test over there… Ahem, be careful, just light it up. No need to linger too long…”

Looking at Luo Ruoxi and the others, Zhang Xuan coughed.

“Mm!”

Understanding his meaning, Luo Ruoxi smiled slightly.

Her husband was good at everything but just liked to keep a low profile too much…

Zhang Xuan sighed in relief and looked at the fat man in front of him: “What’s going on? You’ve comprehended two Destinies?”

Sun Qiang nodded and transmitted a voice message: “I learned the Giant Wave Momentum from the young master. Just now, when I was in the River of Destiny, I saw the Destiny of Commerce, so I learned a bit… and ended up comprehending it as well…”

“Commerce?” Zhang Xuan frowned.

He could learn multiple Destinies because of the Library of Heaven’s Path, but how did Sun Qiang do it?

Could it be related to him helping open the Source Pool?

It was possible!

The way he opened the Source Pool was the same as creating a new world. He could freely learn multiple paths without restriction, so it made sense that Sun Qiang could learn two.

Of course, this was just a guess, and whether it was true or not needed to be investigated later.

“No… Since Sun Qiang can learn two, others won’t be able to, right?”

A thought popped up, and Zhang Xuan’s eyelids twitched. He quickly looked ahead.

Two people had already flashed two colors. If another person showed up, it would be impossible to keep a low profile anymore…

At this moment, Luo Ruoxi had already placed her palm on the stone pillar. With a gentle smile, red light instantly illuminated.

Swallowing hard, Zhang Xuan stared, considering how to explain that this stone pillar was also broken when he was interrupted, and saw that Luo Ruoxi had already withdrawn her hand and walked back to the crowd.

“Phew!”

Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed Luo Ruoxi was reliable. Otherwise, if all three stone pillars emitted multiple colors of light, even the most oblivious person would realize it wasn’t the Wànxiàng Stele that was faulty, but them.

Next, Luo Qiqi, Liu Yang, Yuan Tao, and others stepped forward, all lighting up only red without any other colors.

“Wait a minute!”

As he was deep in thought, Zhang Xuan suddenly realized the issue. He looked at the fat man again: “Did you reach the second stage of Destiny comprehension?”

The difference in the light emitted by the stone tablet wasn’t because of the number of Destinies comprehended, but because of… the realms!

First stage was red light, second stage was orange light…

This guy showing two colors clearly meant he had comprehended two different levels of Destiny.

Sun Qiang awkwardly scratched his head: “Yeah, the ‘Momentum’ the young master taught me… I learned it really quickly! Recently, while gathering information outside, I kept using it and reached the second stage…”

Zhang Xuan’s eyelids twitched.

He could already imagine how this guy would look when arguing with others…

I see, you just like showing off, don’t you?

Sigh, how can I, a low-profile person, have such an over-the-top steward? My head’s going to explode!

Frustrated, Zhang Xuan noticed Shi Yunjing not far away, his eyelids twitching nonstop. He had been so shocked that he couldn’t speak.

Typically, if ten people tested, one passing would be considered good, but now… the second, third, fourth, fifth…

In the blink of an eye, they had already reached the tenth person, and all nine had passed!

It wasn’t a test for Destiny; it was a free pass!

His lips trembled as he continued to watch.

“Whum!”

The tenth person placed their palm on the stone tablet, and once again, red light flashed. It was clear that they had passed the test effortlessly.

“Ten people, all passed…”

Swallowing hard, Shi Yunjing was speechless.

In twenty years of managing the Destiny Hall in Zòuyì City, the most people who passed any test in one session was three. But now, all ten passed… it was unheard of.

“This is going to cause a huge stir…”

He shook his head helplessly.

If the Destiny Hall were still operational, he would have found a way to cover this up, but now they were at the most informed Wànxiàng Sect. In just half a day, every kingdom nearby would know…

However, it could be a good thing for the Destiny Hall, as it would attract more talent.

He thought he had sighed in relief when he saw the situation. Just then, the eleventh person walked up.

“???”

Shi Yunjing was completely confused.

Wasn’t it supposed to be ten people testing? What’s going on?

Seeing his expression, Elder Zhu Xun quickly explained: “To report back to the Hall Master… these people are all related to Young Master Zhang. Earlier, Young Master Zhang said to avoid trouble by testing everyone at once, and I agreed thinking it could lower costs…”

“Eleven people tested all at once?” Shi Yunjing’s face turned dark.

“Twelve…” Zhu Xun quickly added.

While they were speaking, the last two people also lit the stone tablet red…

“…”

Shi Yunjing couldn’t say another word.

Twelve people testing at once and all becoming Destiny Masters—this would be extraordinary even at the headquarters! No wonder the Destiny Hall collapsed…

Shi Yunjing finally understood what had happened and glared fiercely: “Breaking the rules and letting so many people test at once! Zhu Xun, you’d better be ready for punishment when we get back!”

You call that lowering costs? You’ve just ruined the whole place!

“I…”

Elder Zhu Xun almost cried.

It was just a test! Who would have thought this would happen?

If anyone was to blame, it had to be Young Master Zhang and his over-the-top group of people…

“Forget it, I can’t fully blame you. Don’t worry, I’ll report the truth! As for how the headquarters will decide, I can’t help with that!”

Seeing his state, Shi Yunjing coldly said. After thinking for a moment, he asked, “By the way, what were you going to tell me earlier?”

Earlier, when Sun Qiang tested, Zhu Xun wanted to say something but was interrupted by the two colors.

“I wanted to say… before Young Master Zhang tested, his disciples and pets also underwent testing!”

Elder Zhu Xun said with difficulty.

“Pets?”

Shi Yunjing asked curiously, “What level of Source Beast? Star River First Stage? Second Stage? Or do they have some pure bloodline?”

“T

Zhu Xun pointed at a distance, “That horse and the chicken beside it.”

“???”

Shi Yunjing was stunned for a moment before saying, “You mean those are Young Master Zhang’s pets? His ability to pick people is so good that he can turn a chicken into a Destiny Master?”

With his discerning eyes, he could tell that both the horse and the chicken were very ordinary.

“Ordinary?”

Zhu Xun awkwardly scratched his head: “This chicken and horse also passed the test and became Destiny Masters… It seems their opportunities are even higher than Yan Thirty-Three’s. So when making the tokens later, we’ll also make one for them…”

“???”

Shi Yunjing was left speechless.

He had thought the shock would end there, but it seemed the real bombshell was only just beginning!

Not just him, but everyone present, including Master Qian Yuhuan and the others, were left dumbfounded.

Even Yan Thirty-Three was about to cry.

An hour ago, when he defeated Fei Ling and Su Yunzhe, he had been so confident and radiant. Now he suddenly felt that even a chicken was above him…

Is this my fate?

“So many people, and all of them passed the test!”

In the corner, Mo Hong swallowed hard, casually tossing a few Source Coins to pay for tea, then turned to leave.

As an Elder of the Zòuyì Dynasty’s Destiny Hall, he naturally knew how rare Destiny Masters were. For all the people he brought with him to pass the test in one go, it was nothing short of incredible!

Previously, he had thought that Zhang Xuan was too young, and the stunning sword techniques of Min Shidi were probably unrelated to him. But now, that thought had completely changed.

Anyone who could make the Wànxiàng Stele flash four colors, get Master Qian Yuhuan to behave this way, and get all the people they brought to pass the test—this had nothing to do with being ordinary…

Perhaps… Min Jiangtao’s sword techniques were taught by this guy!

…

In the skies above the Zòuyì Dynasty, the figure of an old man suddenly appeared.

It was the old man, Zhou Laotou, who had caught the Seven-Segment Bugs earlier.

At this moment, he was quietly floating in the air, looking at the vast city below, seemingly deep in thought.

“You were right, the descendant who comprehended my Culinary Path Destiny is in this city… but I don’t know if it’s a man or a woman…”

Old Zhou smiled and said, “If it’s a man, I’ll treat him like my son; if it’s a woman, I’ll treat her like my daughter… Anyway, whoever it is, they’re all family to me!”
