Villain: I Can See Destiny

59: Chapter 59 The Mastermind Was Me?”Youya, you are still far from Immortal Ascension, so do not put too much pressure on yourself right now.”

Seeing Young Master Xiao Zimo looking troubled, Xuan Yang assumed he was worried about Immortal Ascension.

”Senior Xuan Yang is right; it is I, Youya, who was being overly ambitious.”

Young Master Xiao Zimo smiled brightly and went along with Xuan Yang’s words.

Seeing Young Master Xiao Zimo recover so quickly, Xuan Yang inwardly praised him: ”He is truly worthy of being the younger brother of Senior Wuya.”

He continued where he left off: ”After five million years of accumulation, Senior Wuya had already gathered the power of five hundred Peak Immortal Emperors.”

”Just when Senior Wuya thought that this time they would surely ascend to the heavens in one step, he discovered that what awaited them was not just an Immortal Beast, but also a supreme killing Formation.”

”The power of that killing Formation was so great that it could absolutely not be an object from the Upper Realm.”

”Just like that, in the first battle to ascend to the heavens, except for Senior Wuya, everyone else was wiped out.”

”Afterwards, Senior Wuya deduced that there must have been a traitor among them.”

”This deduction was truly shocking; Senior Wuya had never considered this possibility before, otherwise he would not have extended olive branches to all the Immortal Emperors.”

”If it was indeed as he deduced, it meant that the mastermind blocking the Immortal Realm was someone from the Upper Realm. Even if they were not the mastermind, they were definitely involved.”

”But why would the other party do this? If the path to immortality is not revealed, can’t their own clansmen also not achieve Immortal Ascension?”

”However, that supreme killing Formation laid out in advance reminded Senior Wuya at every moment that his deduction was correct.”

”If they did not know their specific strength, how could the other party have laid out such a Formation? Was it just to deal with him? Senior Wuya was not arrogant enough to think that.”

”After this incident, Senior Wuya began to secretly investigate forces that could be the mastermind, and eventually locked onto two targets.”

Speaking of this, Xuan Yang’s gaze narrowed slightly as he looked at Young Master Xiao Zimo: ”One is the Qin Family of the Immortal Clan, and the other is the Xiao Clan where you are currently located. Among all the Immortal Clans, your two families are the strongest; both have produced Immortal Emperors in their ancestry!”

”How could that be?”

Young Master Xiao Zimo widened his eyes in a look of great surprise; half of it was feigned, and half was genuine surprise.

He was surprised that as the actual controller of the Xiao Clan, he did not know about such a thing.

But when he thought of the White Spirit Immortal Fire gifted to him by the Great Ancestor, he felt that it was indeed possible for the Xiao Clan to be the mastermind. Otherwise, where would the Great Ancestor have gotten the White Spirit Immortal Fire?

Although five hundred Peak Immortal Emperors could flatten the Xiao Clan in terms of strength, the Xiao Clan’s clan-protecting Formation was a supreme Immortal Formation.

Therefore, theoretically, that supreme killing Formation could possibly have originated from the Xiao Clan.

In fact, Young Master Xiao Zimo had an even more shocking guess: Dao Wuya was actually surnamed Xiao!

Otherwise, why did only he survive the previous two times? Even if Dao Wuya was the strongest among them, it was too coincidental that he escaped from the Immortal Beast both times.

Of course, he would certainly not tell the other party these guesses. Not to mention how much Xuan Yang worshipped Dao Wuya, just based on his identity as his younger brother, he should not have such guesses.

Moreover, whichever possibility it was, wasn’t it all beneficial to him?

Young Master Xiao Zimo breathed a sigh of relief, feeling quite like the mastermind was actually himself.

After figuring this out, he composed himself and said to Xuan Yang: ”Leave the Xiao Clan to me. As for the Qin Family, I would have to trouble Senior Xuan Yang to investigate them.”

”Very well.” Xuan Yang nodded solemnly.

”What about the time that was known to the world?”

Although Young Master Xiao Zimo already had a guess in his heart, he could not be sure if what he thought was accurate.

Xuan Yang continued: ”Although Senior Wuya suspected these two families, the Upper Realm is so vast that when Senior Wuya was searching for the path to immortality back then, he walked for a million years and still did not finish walking it.”

”No one knows whether giant crocodiles are lurking under this vast sea.”

”Since then, Senior Wuya has conducted strict examinations on every person who achieved the rank of Emperor. Only after he was sure they were not people from the mastermind would he extend an invitation to them.”

”In order not to arouse the suspicion of the mastermind, he would even release some contemporary Immortal Emperors every once in a while, letting them appear in the world.”

”Just like that, after eight million years, Senior Wuya once again gathered five hundred Peak Immortal Emperors.”

”But this time he did not immediately go to attack the path to immortality. Although it was highly likely that the mastermind had relaxed their vigilance this time, Senior Wuya chose to be conservative just in case.”

”He was waiting, waiting for someone who could face the Immortal Beast side by side with him.”

”Finally, he waited for it. Two million years later, the peerless Desolate Ancient Sacred Body appeared in the world.”

”That is me!”

Xuan Yang roared in a low voice. Although he had tried his best to suppress his excitement, the veins on his forehead were still bulging.

Young Master Xiao Zimo did not ridicule the other party this time; to be waited on for two million years by a figure like the Eternal Immortal, even he would feel some excitement.

Xuan Yang took two deep breaths to calm himself, then continued: ”In the two million years waiting for me, the number of people in the plan to ascend to the heavens increased by another one hundred.”

”The reason you all know about the news of the battle to ascend to the heavens was entirely released by Senior Wuya afterwards.”

”For this battle to ascend to the heavens, Senior Wuya already had the determination to succeed or die trying.”

”To prevent there being no resistance in the Upper Realm after his failure this time, he left behind special means before we fought on the path to immortality. It would inform the world about the news regarding the path to immortality after ten thousand years.”

”In this lifetime, Senior Wuya no longer hid behind the scenes. He appeared in the world in a high-profile manner, externally calling himself the Eternal Immortal, secretly protecting my path, and being both a teacher and a friend to me.”

”Three thousand years later, I cultivated to the Peak of the Immortal Emperor level. Although I could not compare to Senior Wuya, I could barely face the Immortal Beast with him.”

”Fully prepared, we stepped onto the path to immortality once again.”

”Everything was as Senior Wuya expected. This time, because there was no traitor, there was no ambush on the path to immortality.”

”Although the supreme Formation from last time was still there, it was severely damaged in the second battle to ascend to the heavens. Coupled with no one secretly controlling the Formation, we, being fully prepared, quickly broke through the Formation and faced the Immortal Beast directly.”

”Although that Immortal Beast had mastered the Fire Law, Senior Wuya, relying on his heaven-defying talent and years of accumulation, fought the Immortal Hound back and forth on his own.”

”With our assistance, the Immortal Hound quickly fell into a disadvantage, but just as we were about to kill it, another Immortal Hound emerged from the end of the path to immortality.”

”It was extremely violent, as if it had an irreconcilable hatred for us. As soon as it appeared, it launched a desperate and fierce attack. I suspect that these two were a couple.”
