Chapter 1709: Fixed Points In Time

[Last Arc was called The Infinite Divine Court]

[New Arc: The Grand Expedition]

—--

"How about we check a few fixed points in time to see our relationship with that being?" the Slaughter Ancestor said.

"Not interested," the Erudite Duchess immediately replied.

"I’m intrigued," Primordial Heaven Sword Saint commented. He would love to see how he compares to that being at the same level.

"What if we see our death?" Karma Root Monarch asked. Her words immediately brought the group to reality. As Saints, they are no longer bound by many of Grand Dao’s limitations, meaning they can freely navigate the River of Time. As higher-dimensional entities, the way they experience time is different from that of others.

At this moment in time, this is their first meeting with Wang Wei. However, if they want, they can see or jump to a fixed point in time where Wang Wei is already a Tribunal Saint. Unfortunately, such an act is dangerous — unless they hold one of the cardinal positions and are eternal as long as the Grand Dao exists. If any of these Saints see their death in these fixed points of time, then they will definitely die. However, as long as they remained in the present and did not look too far into the future, the future would remain in a state of endless possibilities.

"I envy him," the True Dream Lord sighed. Knowing that your future self has reached a higher realm is a great benefit for any Saints. As stated, the future is in a constant state of fluctuation, but some futures have a higher chance of happening, so as long as a Saint finds one of those futures, they can slowly work to guarantee it happens.

"What’s there to envy? Since he can do it, we can too," Primordial Heaven Sword Saint casually said. There is nothing worse than not knowing whether there is a path ahead. Now that they know, they should be confident in reaching it.

The True Dream Lord glanced at him. He remembered a rumor that this swordsman was connected to a Grand Dao Saint from ancient times.

’Is this the source of his confidence? Or just a swordsman’s arrogance?’ The True Dream Lord could not tell. Regardless, he decided to pay more attention to this man during this mission to see if he could unravel any deeper secrets.

"I noticed five of you have some karmic relationship with him. What are you going to do about it?" Karma Root Monarch asked. Unfortunately, her words brought up a sensitive topic, so no one said another word.

True Dream Lord could remain calm because the issue with Dong Lifen was no longer a problem. The Sovereign Qi Luck Path already corrupted her as a vessel, and while he could take the time and effort to purify her, it was not worth all the trouble now that he knew her connection with Wang Wei.

The Erudite Duchess had treated her pawn quite well and even granted her a great fortune. Wu Hong owed her such great karma, which, in turn, meant the great being also owed her good karma. As long as she doesn’t go too far, her karma can probably benefit her immensely — especially since she suspects Wu Hong also reached the third step.

The issue is with the Trinity Venerable and the Slaughter Ancestor. The former has been plotting against Qiyuan and the others for far too long. Although these three were not the best vessels for testing his third-step transcendent path, they were still crucial. Meanwhile, the Slaughter Ancestor knows the importance of the Slaughter Source Position and would not allow anyone else to take it from his clone — even the best friend and brother of that being.

Karma Root Monarch observed everybody’s reaction. Her words were a form of probing, but her real target was the Primordial Heaven Sword Saint. The latter’s behavior was abnormal. Why wasn’t he interested in the Sword Source Position? Although the core secrets of these positions have not been revealed, they have already discovered or deduced the truth. Yet, as far as she knew, the latter had never sent a clone or vessel to fight for the position.

"They’re here," the Erudite Duchess said, instantly slicing the slight tension from the Karma Root Monarch’s words. As expected, three individuals finally showed up: Time, Heaven, and Source Qi.

"You three are the only ones coming?" Slaughter Ancestor asked with a frown. Although the people in the lower areas couldn’t see their human forms, these cardinals could.

"To be precise, the other two will be joining," Time Cardinal explained. "I will be monitoring the seal on the timeline and can provide assistance as needed."
