Chapter 1673: Ancient Mystery, Heavenly Fate Child (First Update)

To use the soul of Heavenly Fate Child's Clone to calculate Heavenly Fate Child's whereabouts—this was Wang Lin's idea. He closed his eyes, and within his mind, he saw the Heavenly Fate Child's Clone that he had restrained and assimilated.

Over the years, Wang Lin had used this Heavenly Fate Child's Clone to calculate a sliver of hope in life-and-death catastrophes multiple times, which greatly helped him. If it weren't for his cultivation gradually increasing, allowing him to vaguely sense Heavenly Fate Child's existence as a great danger to himself, Wang Lin would not have wished to provoke Heavenly Fate Child.

After all, in Wang Lin's heart, the mysteriousness of Heavenly Fate Child was something he had never felt in any other person.

"Where exactly is he… and what kind of schemes does he have…?" Wang Lin frowned, his mind merging with Heavenly Fate Child's Clone, silently beginning to deduce.

Time slowly passed. Wang Lin sat cross-legged outside the house, his body not moving an inch. His entire mind was within Heavenly Fate Child's Clone, and as he merged with it, that illusion of him seemingly becoming an Incarnation of Heavenly Fate Child subtly reappeared.

This was not the first time he had experienced this feeling. In fact, when he faced the Daoist Shui crisis back then, Wang Lin had already had such an experience. With the Fusion, Wang Lin's mind gradually became peaceful. Although he did not open his eyes, the Immortal Realm continent beneath him seemed to exist in his heart, the sun and moon within his gaze, and all things in the firmament could not escape the calculations of his single thought.

This feeling could make a person infinitely arrogant.

Wang Lin seemed to have forgotten his own name, as if he had become a part of Heavenly Fate Child. In this increasingly tight Fusion, his Divine Sense spread out, encircling his body and diffusing outwards.

In this way, Wang Lin intended to find Heavenly Fate Child through the subtle connection between Heavenly Fate Child's main body and his Clone. However, to achieve this, he had to completely merge in and thoroughly become Heavenly Fate Child's Clone.

Wang Lin had not used this method for the first time, and he had also carefully considered whether there was any danger, but in the end, there was no clue.

The moment Wang Lin's body merged with Heavenly Fate Child's Clone, within the Zhaohu Star Domain, a meteorite several zhang in size was slowly drifting through the starry sky. Inside the meteorite, Heavenly Fate Child sat cross-legged, a strange smile on his lips.

His white hair floated strangely, giving him the appearance of an immortal, but the smile on his lips dispelled that image, making him seem somewhat sinister and unfathomable instead.

He slowly opened his eyes, revealing a bright light. The smile on his lips grew wider. His gaze seemed to penetrate the meteorite he was in, seeing the starry sky, and at the end of the starry sky, the figure sitting cross-legged in the Immortal Realm.

"As expected of my good Disciple… you cannot escape my grasp… the higher your cultivation, the greater the help to me, and the more benefits I receive… Eh? Seven Origins… Good, good, good!" Heavenly Fate Child smiled, murmuring as he raised his right hand and slowly clenched his fist. The moment he clenched his fist, a surge of Karma Origin Qi suddenly spread from his palm.

This was the Karma Origin, truly the Karma Origin!!

"My left hand controls life, my right hand controls death… I can do that too…" Heavenly Fate Child placed his left hand on his knee. Besides the Karma Origin in his hands, a second Origin actually appeared: life and death!

"Closed eyes are false, open eyes are true…" In Heavenly Fate Child's eyes, the True and False Origins condensed accordingly.

Even more astonishingly, in the pupil of Heavenly Fate Child's left eye, flames surged, and in his right eye, lightning and thunder split the sky, flashing across his gaze.

"I can do all these… the Slaughter Origin, I have that too…" In the center of Heavenly Fate Child's brows, a blurry Vortex slowly appeared. Within that Vortex, another Heavenly Fate Child, dressed in gray, actually emerged!

"Very good… I have already received all of these, only this seventh Origin remains…" Heavenly Fate Child's eyes flickered, and a large number of blood vessels immediately appeared in his pupils. These blood vessels quickly occupied all areas of his entire pupils. Gradually, Restrictions began to emerge.

However, the Restrictions within the blood vessels of his pupils still needed some time to fully integrate into all the blood vessels. They were currently slowly expanding, and it wouldn't be long before Heavenly Fate Child would comprehend all the Restriction Origins.

"To transform pupil threads into the Laws of Heaven and Earth, and to make one's own will the Law of Heaven and Earth… Disciple, you truly surprise your master. No one throughout history has ever thought of such a method… Very good, truly worthy of being the Heaven-Defying Child I spent countless years deducing!

My plan will be completed through you, it will definitely be completed!" Heavenly Fate Child licked his lips, his eyes revealing excitement. This expression was very rare for him, who was usually calm!

"I have a tree, planted two thousand years ago, and it has already bloomed… but it is not yet time to harvest the fruit. I still need to send out some nourishment…"

Heavenly Fate Child's eyes flashed, and within the blood vessels of his eyes, Restrictions rapidly permeated. In this very short time, they had already occupied thirty percent of his eye's blood vessels and were still continuing.

But at this very moment, Heavenly Fate Child's expression suddenly hardened, the smile on his face instantly vanished, and even the Restrictions rapidly spreading and merging in his eyes immediately paused.

In the New Immortal Realm, on the peak of the mountain where Wang Lin's house was located, Wang Lin, who had been sitting cross-legged outside the house for five days without moving, suddenly opened his eyes at this moment, forcing himself to separate from the Fusion with Heavenly Fate Child's Clone.

His face was gloomy, his eyes showed suspicion, and he looked down at his body, his brows tightly furrowed.

"Strange, why do I feel that when I merged with Heavenly Fate Child's Clone, my Origin seemed to be draining…?" Wang Lin pondered as he carefully checked his seven Origins, but no matter how he looked, there was no reduction in his Origins. This made him feel slightly relieved, but the doubt always lingered in his mind.

"My Origin hasn't decreased… but why do I have that feeling… Is it an illusion…?" After a moment of silence, Wang Lin once again merged his mind into Heavenly Fate Child's Clone, slowly fusing. But at the very moment he was about to completely merge, he suddenly swayed, forcibly interrupting the Fusion again, and abruptly stood up.

His expression was as grim as winter ice. Wang Lin looked up at the sky, a cold light in his eyes.

"No! This feeling cannot be an illusion! Heavenly Fate Child's Clone has a problem!" Wang Lin raised his right hand and patted his glabella, then fiercely pulled outwards. Immediately, wisps of soul, like smoke threads, were drawn from his glabella, transforming into Heavenly Fate Child's appearance in Wang Lin's right hand.

This soul of Heavenly Fate Child's Clone sat cross-legged, unmoving.

"Where exactly is the problem…?" Staring at the soul of Heavenly Fate Child's Clone, Wang Lin's Divine Sense spread out and searched meticulously within its soul, but ultimately found nothing, which deepened his confusion.

"There are no clues, and my Origin hasn't decreased at all. Everything is just my feeling. Could it really be that my feeling is wrong…? There is some connection between this Heavenly Fate Child's Clone and his main body. This connection was originally my method to find Heavenly Fate Child, but now, I somehow feel that this connection, or rather, this Clone, seems to be part of Heavenly Fate Child's schemes…" Wang Lin's mind trembled. He couldn't believe his own guess.

"Back then in the Demon Spirit Land, I used the Fading Night technique to kill Heavenly Fate Child's Clone and claim it as my own. Could this matter also have been Heavenly Fate Child's deliberate action…? This… this is too incredible!" Scenes from the Demon Spirit Land flashed through Wang Lin's mind. Even now, recalling them, he still couldn't discern any deliberate trace of Heavenly Fate Child within them.

Looking at the soul of Heavenly Fate Child's Clone, Wang Lin's expression changed erratically, becoming even gloomier. He couldn't figure it out. In his silence, Wang Lin's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his body swayed, instantly disappearing from his original spot.

When his figure reappeared, it was in the southern part of this Immortal Realm, at the foot of a towering mountain range that reached into the clouds. The mountain range was covered in white, blanketed by snow—it was a snow mountain.

The cold wind howled, carrying sparkling specks of snow that bit into his face with an icy chill. Wang Lin leaped from the base of the mountain, heading straight for the summit. The biting wind couldn't stop his ascent in the slightest.

As he neared the mountainside, Wang Lin saw Qingshuang. Dressed in white, Qingshuang gazed at the world before her, her expression desolate, her eyes filled with what seemed to be struggle and reminiscence.

Behind her, Zhou Yi seemed to be whispering something, his gaze towards Qingshuang filled with tenderness and affection. They did not notice Wang Lin's arrival, and Wang Lin did not disturb the two of them. He flashed past them and stepped onto the summit of the mountain.

There, a white pavilion was shrouded in Immortal Qi, forming a massive Vortex in the sky that swept in all directions, clearly visible even from a great distance.

Outside the pavilion, Wang Lin emerged from the void.

The pavilion door silently opened, and Qing Lin, dressed in a blue robe, looking like a scholar, smiled as he looked at Wang Lin.

"Brother Wang rarely comes here, may I ask what matter you seek me for?"

Although Qing Lin had once said he would take Wang Lin as a Disciple, this statement gradually ceased to be mentioned as time passed. Furthermore, with Wang Lin's current cultivation and status, Qing Lin naturally changed his address, thus showing respect to a fellow cultivator.

"Earlier, I heard that Senior Qing Lin is skilled in calculation. I need to ask Senior to act as Protector and help me with a deduction and calculation!" Wang Lin cupped his fists, his expression solemn as he looked at Qing Lin.

"Alright, I, Qing, will do my best! Just tell me what needs to be done," Qing Lin said in a deep voice, seeing Wang Lin's serious expression, and immediately put away his smile.

"The soul in my hand is the soul of Kunxu's Heavenly Fate Child's Clone. Heavenly Fate Child is skilled in calculation, and now he is hidden somewhere unknown. I am worried that something might go wrong with him, so I want to find him through his Clone's soul… but…" Wang Lin explained the previous events, then flipped his right hand, and the soul of Heavenly Fate Child's Clone appeared in his hand.

Listening to Wang Lin's words, Qing Lin's expression became solemn. After Wang Lin finished speaking, his eyes gleamed as he stared at the soul of Heavenly Fate Child's Clone.

"Such a thing actually happened!! Let me examine this soul first!" Qing Lin raised his right hand, grasped the soul of Heavenly Fate Child's Clone, and concentrated as he looked at it.
