Villain: I Can See Destiny

58: Chapter 58: With a mortal body, standing shoulder to shoulder with immortals”This... this might be because the distance was always too great...”

Xuan Yang muttered, offering a flimsy excuse.

”I see. No wonder I couldn’t sense you when I was at the academy; it wasn’t until I had close contact today that I felt something.”

”I didn’t expect it would require such close proximity.”

Young Master Xiao Zimo said thoughtfully, appearing to believe the other completely.

Seeing this, Xuan Yang breathed a sigh of relief, then felt a pang of guilt; the other trusted him so much, yet he was deceiving him.

”My brother also said that if I wanted to know what happened back then, I had to find Senior Xuan Yang.”

Young Master Xiao Zimo had been playing the role of a younger brother for so long precisely to learn about the Immortal Path of the past.

”No wonder he has been looking for me for so many years; it was to find out the truth of that year,” Xuan Yang thought.

As the younger brother of Senior Wuya, he naturally had the qualifications to know what had transpired.

Furthermore, Xuan Yang felt guilty because his own mistakes in Cultivating the Immortal Sutra had caused the other to search for him for so many years.

Therefore, Xuan Yang did not doubt Young Master Xiao Zimo’s words.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the dazzling sun. Turning to the side to face Young Master Xiao Zimo, he began to recount the unknown events of the past.

”Youya, do you know why Senior Wuya is called the Eternal Immortal?”

Young Master Xiao Zimo shook his head.

”Can you just get to the point? Why are you being so dramatic?”

Young Master Xiao Zimo thought, looking at Xuan Yang, who appeared exceptionally dazzling under the brilliance of the light.

However, he truly did not know why Dao Wuya was called the Eternal Immortal. If he hadn’t peered into Xuan Yang’s memories, he wouldn’t even have known the other’s real name was Dao Wuya.

Even in the Xiao Clan’s history, there were few records of him, only a single sentence.

”The unfathomable Eternal Immortal, the number one person beneath the Immortals.”

The number one person beneath the Immortals—to have such an evaluation yet only a single sentence of introduction, he was truly unfathomable.

”Dao Wuya. The Dao is boundless, and that boundlessness is eternity. Although Senior Wuya had not achieved Immortal Ascension, he was confident that he could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with true Immortals, so he called himself the Eternal Immortal.”

”Senior was truly breathtakingly talented; the fact that the world reverently calls him the Eternal Immortal is the best proof of that.”

Xuan Yang’s eyes were filled with admiration.

Young Master Xiao Zimo was speechless: ”Please, I just want to know about the Immortal Path; I don’t want to hear you brag about how awesome he is.”

”What do you know about the Heaven-Ascension War of ten million years ago?”

Xuan Yang looked at Young Master Xiao Zimo and asked.

”I heard that generation was the most brilliant one since the Immortal Path closed. Various Saint Bodies and Immortal Bodies emerged one after another, and in the end, fifty Great Emperors were born!”

”It was precisely because of this that that generation conceived the idea of forcibly breaking into the Immortal Path, and ultimately, under your and my brother’s leadership, they waged the Heaven-Ascension War.”

”Since then, The Emperors have vanished without a trace. Some say you failed and died on the Immortal Path, while others say you succeeded and ascended to the heavens.”

Young Master Xiao Zimo stated what he knew.

Hearing this, Xuan Yang shook his head and said, ”These are merely the speculations of the world.”

”The truth is not like that at all. The world thinks the Eternal Immortal was of my generation, but in fact, Senior Wuya had already achieved the title of Emperor tens of millions of years ago.”

”He had even organized a Heaven-Ascension War before my time.”

”In the era when Senior Wuya became an Emperor, the Immortal Path was already hidden.”

”It was impossible to leave the Upper Realm and travel to the Immortal Realm.”

”But how could someone as breathtakingly talented as Senior Wuya be content with being merely a Mortal?”

”To find a glimmer of opportunity for Immortal Ascension, Senior Wuya specialized in eye techniques and eventually Cultivated the Acquired Heavenly Eye.”

”Afterwards, he traveled through the myriad worlds and finally, beneath the Cangyuan of the most ancient Chaos Primordial Ancient Domain, he found a hidden path to ascend to heaven.”

”But by that time, a million years had passed since Senior Wuya became an Emperor. His aura was fading, and he could not open the Immortal Path. He could only leave behind a special mark and depart in frustration.”

”During the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, Senior Wuya comprehended Reincarnation and created the Immortal Sutra, an Immortal technique so shocking that it could move heaven and earth to tears.”

Speaking of this, Xuan Yang was extremely excited.

Even Young Master Xiao Zimo had to admire Dao Wuya; if he were in his shoes, he would not have done better than him.

”Senior Wuya, possessing the memories of his past life, forcefully achieved the Dao after only a thousand years of Cultivating in his second life, and then spent another hundred years or so reaching the Peak of the Great Emperor.”

”This time, he came to Cangyuan with the full strength of his prime, but he still could not break the Seal of the Immortal Path. But what kind of Heart-Nature did Senior Wuya possess? If two lifetimes of accumulation weren’t enough, then three; if three weren’t enough, then four... He firmly believed that there would eventually be a lifetime where he would succeed.”

”After accumulating through dozens of lifetimes, he finally broke the Seal, but at the end of the Immortal Path, he encountered an Immortal Hound guarding the exit.”

”The accumulation of dozens of lifetimes meant his power was not weaker than the opponent’s, but the Immortal Hound had mastered the power of the Law of Fire. In the end, Senior Wuya was severely injured and nearly perished.”

”This experience made him realize that fighting alone would not work.”

”So, he hid on the Emperor’s Road, waiting for Prodigies capable of becoming Great Emperors to arrive, and then recruited them to join his cause.”

”Those capable of becoming Great Emperors are naturally ambitious people; they are likewise unwilling to remain mere Mortals forever.”

”Therefore, basically everyone who achieved the title of Great Emperor joined Senior Wuya’s plan to ascend to heaven.”

”But against an Immortal Beast, how could the power of a single Great Emperor be enough? Yet the Immortal Sutra was too Heaven-Defying; even with Senior Wuya’s magnanimity, he could not bring himself to share it with everyone.”

”Therefore, Senior Wuya had to think of another way, and eventually, he created the method to deceive the heavens.”

”Even in the Upper Realm where the power of Law cannot be sensed, Senior Wuya, having gone through many Reincarnations, still deduced most of the Law of Reincarnation.”

”He had the other Great Emperors enter a state of suspended animation at their Peak, using the power of the Law of Reincarnation to completely erase their vitality, thereby avoiding the Five Decays of Heaven and Man.”

”When it was time to ascend to heaven, he would awaken them and simulate the aura of a contemporary Great Emperor for them, deceiving the Heavenly Dao.”

Hearing this, Young Master Xiao Zimo learned a secret that had puzzled countless people throughout history.

Since twenty-five million years ago, every generation of Great Emperors would disappear at their Peak.

Some speculated they had gone to search for the Immortal Path.

Others speculated that this was a curse from the Heavenly Dao upon them.

So, the truth was actually this.

Young Master Xiao Zimo was extremely shocked at this moment; this Eternal Immortal was truly too terrifying.

In terms of strategy, he could hide behind the scenes and scheme for tens of millions of years.

In terms of talent, he created the Immortal Sutra and a series of other Heaven-Defying techniques.

He even deduced most of the Law of Reincarnation, using a Mortal body to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Immortals.

Seen in this light, he was indeed worthy of the name Eternal Immortal.

If they were in the same era, he would be his greatest enemy.

No, it was also possible they could be the best of friends, because they had a common goal: Immortal Ascension!

Thinking of this, Young Master Xiao Zimo frowned with worry. With the power of so many Great Emperors at their Peak, even the Xiao Clan could be leveled by them, yet they still failed, which was enough to show the difficulty of ascending to heaven.

At this moment, Young Master Xiao Zimo actually felt a sense of loss and regret that he could not be of the same generation as him.
