Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Fate of the Heavens-Chapter 560 - 2: Bestowal of Fate (Part 2)

"This Heavenly Mandate was never seen before, could it have suddenly appeared? Isn’t it said that there are only 99 Second-level Heavenly Destinies in the entire Source World? Why did an extra one suddenly emerge?"

"Indeed, there are only 99 Second-level Heavenly Destinies, but the number of Heavenly Destinies that resemble the second-level ones is not included in those 99."

"Resemble second-level?"

"Yes, some powerful First Level Destinies can give rise to many Second-level Destinies. For instance, the Power Destiny includes Soldiers, Officials, Households, Law, and Virtue... These power-derived destinies, although not technically second-level, possess power identical to second-level, perhaps even stronger..."

Seeing the suddenly descending Heavenly Mandate, the entire crowd was in an uproar.

The fixed number of First-Level and Second-Level Destinies refers to the original destinies, while derivative destinies are not counted.

For instance, the Law Destiny and the Virtue Destiny in the Power Destiny surpass the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony among the second-level, yet neither belongs to any of the second-level Heavenly Destinies.

Now, the "Love Heavenly Mandate" suddenly summoned by Zhang Xuan is also such a case.

It belongs to a branch of the Love Destiny, possessing formidable strength comparable to a second-level destiny, but it is not one of the 99 Second-level Heavenly Destinies.

"This Heavenly Mandate is even stronger than...my Water Heavenly Destiny!"

Yun Shuiyao’s pupils contracted.

Though this is a new Heavenly Mandate, she could discern that it was only stronger than her Water Heavenly Destiny, meaning that even if Zhao Ya severed her connection with the Water Heavenly Destiny, once she fully comprehends this path, her cultivation would not only fail to diminish but would surge vastly!

The crowd’s shock was not yet over as Zhang Xuan’s words continued to ring out.

"Decisive in character, loving and hating as you please, not blindly following, not submitting, Zheng Yang, today I grant you the Hate Heavenly Destiny."

"Quick-witted, delicate and soft, Wang Ying, today I bestow upon you the Shock Heavenly Destiny!"

"Yuan Tao, I grant you the Joy Heavenly Destiny."

"Liu Yang, I bestow upon you the Anger Heavenly Destiny."

"Wei Ruyan, I grant you the Fear Heavenly Destiny..."

With these words, thick Heavenly Mandates split from the Love Destiny, descending upon the disciples.

Joy, anger, worry, thought, sorrow, fear, and shock are the seven emotions of humans.

Love and hate are the most powerful rivers of the Emotion Destiny.

The nine branches descended simultaneously, enveloping all the disciples within.

Rumble!

Having just lost their destinies and immediately supplemented with new ones, the fading auras of Zheng Yang, Zhao Ya, and others not only surged again but grew even stronger.

As their cultivation increased, Zhang Xuan also felt his understanding of the Love Destiny deepen, becoming clearer and clearer.

If the Path of Emotion he comprehended on the Master Teacher Continent and Empyrean was Theravada Buddhism, then now it was Mahayana Buddhism.

Emotion, not merely referring to affection and love, includes emotions and sentiments, all of which are part of it. In other words, as long as there are emotions and sentiments, one must be under the control of the Love Destiny.

People may not need power, a good body, a good soul, wealth, or fame...but they cannot lack various emotions.

"Hahaha, so, this is the reason, this is the reason!"

An understanding suddenly flashed in his heart, and the Heavenly Mandate of Emotion in the sky surged like a roaring torrent, pushing his understanding of it to another level, directly breaking through the shackles of the Eighth Level.

Eighth Level Heavenly Mandate, meaning breaking through Life Sea 9-dan, reaching what’s called the Heavenly Destiny Realm, possessing Bodhisattva-like strength with cultivation alone.

Rumble!

Glancing upward at the roaring River of Destiny, its waters raging like a roaring dragon, but when looking within himself, his cultivation remained unadvanced.

"It’s the Chaotic Destiny Heaven Tribulation Decree..."

Zhang Xuan squinted his eyes.

Although he clearly comprehended a more advanced Heavenly Mandate, his cultivation did not break through, not due to a lack of talent, but because of the recently jointly signed Chaotic Destiny Heaven Tribulation Decree sealing all the Heavenly Mandate Vitality.

In other words, from earlier on, no matter how he practiced, not a trace of Heavenly Mandate Vitality of Emotion would descend.

Without the corresponding Heavenly Mandate Vitality, it was impossible to advance, regardless of how high the comprehension level was; breaking through the cultivation realm was impossible.

"What should I do?"

It’s fine if I can’t break through, but if Zhao Ya and the others, having just comprehended branches of the Love Destiny, are hindered from progression due to the absence of Heavenly Mandate Vitality to absorb, it would be causing them harm.

"Zhang Xuan’s manipulation of our disciples to pledge loyalty to him is unforgivable... Such a person must be killed to serve as an example!"

"Indeed, such a Mandate Chaos Master cannot go unpunished, everyone attack together!"

At this moment, someone shouted, and with the shout, a multitude of powers gathered, forming barriers of light, descending on where Zhang Xuan stood.

"Enter the Xuanyuan War Chariot first!"

Seeing everyone’s power descending simultaneously, even he couldn’t withstand, Zhang Xuan didn’t hesitate much, and with a thought, he immediately took Zhao Ya and others into the war chariot.

"If you want to kill me, first see if you have the strength!"

With a chilling shout, Zhang Xuan thrust a sword towards a pinnacle expert of Life Sea 9-dan rushing at the forefront.

"Pfft!" Instantly, the renowned powerhouse of the Source World exploded, turning into a mass of blood and flesh.

At the pinnacle of Life Sea 9-dan, at this moment, in front of Zhang Xuan, could be crushed with a bypassing gesture, utterly insignificant.

"Collect!"

After annihilating the opponent, with a thought, Zhang Xuan collected all the opponent’s energy along with the stored Heavenly Mandate Vitality into the Suspended Realm.

Clatter!

All energies exploded in an instant, transforming into pure nourishment, and simultaneously, the unfulfilled Heavenly Mandate Vitality swiftly poured into his body, instantly breaking through the shackles, reaching the Bodhisattva Realm with his cultivation.

In Buddhism, it’s referred to as attaining the fruit position.

Others absorbing the Heavenly Mandate Vitality of others couldn’t Forge and make it their own due to differing mandates, but he was different. Any form of Heavenly Mandate Vitality entering the Library of Heaven’s Path would turn into books, and those books could transform into Love Destiny’s Heavenly Mandate Vitality!

In other words, through the conversion of the Library of Heaven’s Path, any Heavenly Mandate Vitality could serve as his nourishment!

Even if restricted by the Chaotic Destiny Heaven Tribulation Decree from the Heavenly Mandate Vitality of Emotion, as long as there is the Library of Heaven’s Path, there would be a continuous source of power.

"Hahaha, I’ve broken through!"

A single pinnacle of Life Sea 9-dan, though the strength was still insufficient, was still a breakthrough. The Bodhisattva Realm and Life Sea 9-dan have a world of difference; otherwise, how could the Bodhisattva hold such a high status. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"Forge all!"

Feeling the surge in strength, Zhang Xuan, with a thought, immediately exploded all the stolen resources from many masters he had slain earlier in the Suspended Realm. Endless power and Heavenly Mandate Vitality, purified through the Library of Heaven’s Path, infused into his limbs, petals, and into Zhao Ya, Zheng Yang, and others.

In an instant, the cultivation of him along with many disciples rapidly surged with visible speed.
