Remould the Glory of Sword Art-Chapter 1238 - 150: Illness

The Great Chu Imperial City.

Book Tower.

Behind the screen, a Green Jade Case, wisps of smoke rising.

Chen Jingxuan leaned over the desk, countless golden threads converged, weaving into a small scroll. It really was a magnificent and grand picture; while the Book Tower was not large, there were billions of golden threads suspended, and at this moment all these golden threads were taut, gathered in Chen Jingxuan’s palm.

Like turning the tide upside down.

The higher up the Book Tower, the sparser the golden threads.

The closer to the Green Jade Case, the denser the golden threads. In the end, so dense that they nearly solidified into substance.

The scroll formed by the convergence of these golden threads contained a tremendous accumulation of destiny.

"..."

Chen Jingxuan stared intently at these golden threads, extremely focused.

This was the divination technique of the Sky Watcher.

Using Heavenly Destiny Gold Lines to tug at the River of Destiny, forcefully peering into the future.

The Sky Watcher’s "divination technique" was not the same as the Zen Master’s "Divine Travel." The Zen Master, having reached the pinnacle of cultivation, wandering the River of Destiny, traveled through the worlds of petals, indeed could see future after future, but the vast majority of futures belonged to the destinies of the "worlds of petals."

With the worlds of buds, though similar, yet different.

The Sky Watcher’s "divination technique" only looked at one realm.

For example.

In the world of petals Xie Xuanyi was heading to, if Chen Jingxuan were to use the Heavenly Destiny Gold Line to peer into the future of Li Kingdom. Then what he would see of Han Li and Chen Chong would certainly be in the Crown Prince’s camp...

Causes and effects that contradict in the River of Destiny.

Would not be visible to the Sky Watcher.

"Dong, dong."

Suddenly, two very soft knocks sounded outside the Book Tower.

Usually, the Book Tower was patrolled by the Black Scale Guards, heavily guarded, except for a very few people, others did not even have the qualification to knock on the door.

These two consecutive soft knocks brought Chen Jingxuan’s thoughts back to reality.

"...Who?"

Chen Jingxuan lowered his voice, furrowed his brow.

"Sir, it’s the Little Xie Mountain Lord."

The one knocking was precisely Sang Zheng.

Sang Zheng’s expression was complicated, looking back with some apology.

Just a short while ago, the order was given, the Book Tower was temporarily sealed. Except for Master Tang Pavilion and Little Xie Mountain Lord, no other visitors were to be received. Everyone knew, the National Master must be busy with something very important these days... yet unexpectedly, just two days passed, and there was already a visit from a "distinguished guest."

"No rush."

At this moment, not far from the Book Tower, beyond the Black Scale Guards’ line of vigilance, Xie Xuanyi stood in black attire, hands behind his back, communicated across, leisurely waiting.

The affairs of Li Kingdom were settled.

Xie Xuanyi returned smoothly to Chu Country; he first sent Xie Yueying back to the Sword Palace, then came directly to the Imperial City to meet Chen Jingxuan in person.

With Xie Xuanyi’s status, he could naturally disregard the guards and step directly into the Book Tower.

But he did not do so.

From several miles away.

Xie Xuanyi sensed the chaotic aura of the Book Tower, a large amount of destiny was converging here.

As he expected.

Chen Jingxuan was activating the Roundness Instrument...

This fellow always moved one step ahead, sending surprising forecasts just as he arrived in Li Kingdom. Now that things were resolved, there was no reason not to send a message to update... the only possibility was he was performing a heavenly destiny divination.

"Sir, please."

After a brief notification, Sang Zheng immediately came to greet him.

The Black Scale Guards stepped aside one after another.

After Xie Xuanyi entered the Book Tower, the screen was still there, but the incense smoke had dissipated quite a bit. As for the countless golden threads woven across the Jade Building rooftop, they all disappeared, vanishing without a trace, as if they had never appeared. Chen Jingxuan sat behind the Jade Table, rolling up his sleeves to make tea, trying hard to exhibit a composed manner.

"..."

Xie Xuanyi stood silently at the door, looking up at the ceiling where the golden light had dissipated, lost in thought.

Sang Zheng withdrew, the door closed.

An invisible barrier then descended.

"You came so soon?"

Chen Jingxuan spoke with a smile, gesturing for Xie Xuanyi to take a seat: "Were things in Li Kingdom smooth? How was the aptitude of the young girl from the Xie Family who studied the Rule of Destruction?"

"Thanks to your blessing, everything went well."

Xie Xuanyi shifted his gaze, slowly advancing to the tea table, leisurely saying: "At Xuanbei Pass, there was a thrilling but safe confrontation with the Tribulation Lord. The strategist in Li Kingdom was most likely a ’Paperman Sect’ Dark Child, or Lu Yuzhen himself. The young girl from the Xie Family had a good aptitude, and even better luck, she learned skills from the One Strike Sect... I brought her back to the Sword Palace for the past two days. After the Wu State decisive battle ends, she should still head to Li Kingdom."

"Quite good."

Chen Jingxuan smiled faintly.

Xie Xuanyi knew.

These pieces of information, Chen Jingxuan must have already been aware of.

Fangyuan Square has many Dark Children in Li Kingdom, Fire Master was also closely watching his movements.

The conflict at Xuanbei Pass, the power struggles of the Great Li Royal Family.

Such news was too significant, even neighbors could not hide it.

Let alone Chen Jingxuan.

"Everyone’s luck isn’t bad."

Then Xie Xuanyi paused and said: "This journey to Li Kingdom, those who needed saving were mostly saved. However, there was one person whose luck wasn’t too good."

"Oh?"

Chen Jingxuan was a bit surprised and asked: "Who..."

"Far away in the sky, right before your eyes."

Xie Xuanyi held the tea cup in both hands, quietly saying: "It seems someone’s been gathering a huge amount of fortune, intending to perform an incredible calculation. If I’m not mistaken, this level of calculation probably requires consuming great heart power and quite a bit of life span, right?"

"..."

Chen Jingxuan’s expression became quite intriguing.

Indeed.

He was the only somewhat unlucky fellow.

Just about to perform a heavenly destiny calculation, encountered by Xie Xuanyi.

He hurriedly canceled the golden line setup.

"I thought you would take several more days to arrive at the Imperial City..."

Chen Jingxuan said a bit awkwardly, with a wry smile: "Logically, you should have taken that young girl to Jiangning once."

Xie Yueying’s affairs in Jiangning remained unsettled.

"Does such a trivial matter require my involvement?"

Xie Xuanyi said with an expressionless face: "I took her to Lotus Peak, the trifles in Jiangning can be managed by Huang Su alone."

"On the contrary, it’s you."

Giving Chen Jingxuan no chance for explanation.

Xie Xuanyi extended a hand, clutching the wrist that the latter kept hidden within his sleeve.

"The last time we met, I sensed something was not right."

"For the past half year, you’ve been overdraining your life, using the Roundness Instrument, haven’t you..."

Xie Xuanyi’s eyes were like torches, staring fixedly into Chen Jingxuan’s eyes: "Be honest, how much cause and effect did you spy on, how much life span did you consume..."

The sudden appearance of Xie Xuanyi this time was indeed too abrupt.

Chen Jingxuan had no time to make more arrangements...

Although he withdrew the golden lines, dispersed the fortune.

But the after-effects brought on by the calculations could not be covered up, could not be undone.

At this moment.

Under the penetration of Xie Xuanyi’s Divine Thought.

He saw that the primordial fire inside this young National Master’s body in Great Chu had already weakened to the extreme. The sole issue of weak primordial fire could be easily remedied by the Undying Spring, but the essence of Chen Jingxuan’s "illness" stemmed from the overexertion of the Divine Soul.
