Seven Deadly Sins System-Chapter 231: Life and Death
Chu Wuyao couldn't possibly know that her curse had caused Zhong Bai's breakthrough to fail and had caused him to suffer severe backlash.
After she deactivated the Cause and Effect Authority and sent a message to Xia Qianyue, she didn't rush to return to the Enlightenment Space but decided to deal with some things first.
As she sat on the floor, her mind moved, and the next moment, a golden crystal appeared in her hand.
This was a memory crystal that she had found in Jiang Chen's space ring, but before, she had been unable to see its contents because she hadn't met the requirements.
One of these requirements was to understand the Blood Authority, while the other one was to reach the Awakening Realm.
Chu Wuyao had long met the first requirement, and with her breakthrough, she had now satisfied the second requirement as well.
Thinking of this, her thoughts entered the memory crystal, and just like she expected, she didn't meet any resistance.
Countless pieces of information appeared in her mind and were directly imprinted in it, and even though Chu Wuyao had become used to this, she still felt a faint headache.
Surprisingly, the information contained in the memory crystal was a powerful technique, a technique that was more complicated than even the Original Desire Sutra.
It took a few minutes for her to fully digest the contents of the memory crystal and open her eyes again.
Looking at the contents of the technique in her mind, Chu Wuyao's eyes flashed with some brilliance.
"Bloodline Tome...", she whispered the name of the technique, feeling that it was actually extremely suitable for her current situation and coincided with some of the plans she had previously made.
"But I'll have to slightly adjust those plans.", Chu Wuyao thought, but she didn't rush to do so, knowing that she had to deal with one more thing.
After she threw away the remains of the memory crystal that had fallen to her palm, her mind moved again and entered her space ring, before she took a small branch out.
It had been a few days since her encounter with the Mother, and after so much time, her God Clone had long returned to the Original Desire Sect and brought the small branch back.
Lowering her head, Chu Wuyao stared at the branch and immediately, a familiar image appeared in her field of vision.
It was a magnificent tree that was roaming in space, "holding" an equally magnificent continent on its crown.
Many runes flashed on the surface of this tree and shone with a dazzling light.
"Sure enough. Although some power has been lost and the image of the Tree of Life is no longer so clear, it's still clear enough for me to observe.", Chu Wuyao judged and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.
If she only had a chance to observe the Tree of Life, she would be extremely disappointed.
After all, she could feel a powerful attraction coming from this small branch, and based on her previous experiences, she felt that the Authority it represented was closely related to her Vision, most likely being another aspect of it.
"No, to be more accurate, this Authority is only part of another aspect of my Vision.", Chu Wuyao shook her head and she showed a thoughtful expression.
In fact, Chu Wuyao knew that she could let the Six Paths Vision swallow this branch directly, just like she could let it swallow the Visions of other cultivators.
She understood that doing so would bring her many benefits, perhaps allowing her to instantly grasp another Authority.
However, she didn't do so, unwilling to take such a risk.
Even though the branch suspected of belonging to the Tree of Life seemed harmless, Chu Wuyao had not let her guard down.
She knew that an object that was left behind by the Mother on her own accord was bound to contain some kind of hidden danger.
It was fine to observe the branch and use it to obtain insights, but it was obviously not very smart to absorb it directly.
With that in mind, Chu Wuyao was about to continue observing the runes on the branch, when suddenly, she remembered something.
After she searched in her space ring for a little bit, she finally found the object she was looking for and took it out.
That object was an ordinary-looking small cauldron, which was filled with many beautiful white chrysanthemums.
These white chrysanthemums were obtained from Zhong Yang, and they were probably part of the inheritance in the Howling Ghost Forest.
Chu Wuyao had absorbed some of them before her breakthrough, but because her strength surpassed her realm, she could no longer continue absorbing them.
However, now that she had broken through, there was no longer such a problem.
Holding the cauldron in one hand and the small branch in the other, Chu Wuyao's gaze alternated between these two objects, her mind filled with thoughts.
"These two things seem to be related to each other.", she whispered and she had a suspicion about what their relation was.
As something related to the Tree of Life, it was fairly obvious that the branch should be related to the concept of Life, and although the white chrysanthemums were plants, whether it was in this or her past life, they didn't represent life but death.

Thinking of this, Chu Wuyao realized something and no longer hesitated.
The next moment, the Six Paths Vision flew out of her body and landed behind her, before stretching its hand and picking up the small cauldron containing the chrysanthemums.
The Six Paths Vision's other hand reached inside the cauldron, grabbed a handful of white chrysanthemums, and threw it in its mouth.
As this was happening, Chu Wuyao didn't remain idle.
Her entire focus fell on the green runes on the branch's surface, and immediately, the familiar image flashed in her field of vision.
The quality of this image was even worse than before, perhaps because some of the branch's power had been consumed, but when Chu Wuyao stared at the Tree of Life, countless insights popped up in her mind.
Not only was she still able to get insights, but these insights were actually many times more vivid than before, allowing her to easily grasp the concept of "Life".
At the same time as the insights about the concept of Life appeared, the Six Paths Vision continued swallowing the white chrysanthemums, causing insights about another, completely different concept to rush into her mind.
Strangely, although these insights were of two entirely different concepts, they seemed to blend together, as if they were part of a whole.
In the outside world, a complicated rune flashed in the pupils of Chu Wuyao, while the revolving holes behind the Six Paths Vision's head shook violently.
So far, three runes had each been embedded into one of these holes, with each rune representing a different Authority, an aspect of the Six Paths Vision that Chu Wuyao had understood.
Good and Evil, Cause and Effect, Heavenly Punishment.
These were the Authorities that Chu Wuyao had understood and they were all Supreme-Grade Authorities.
Yet now, a new rune formed inside one of the three empty holes, a rune that seemed to be equal in status with the runes around it.
Just like the rune that represented the Good and Evil Authority, this new rune also exuded two contradictory auras, two auras that collided with each other.
Part of the rune was green in color and exuded an aura that was filled with life, while the other part was pitch black, exuding an aura that was filled with death.
Slowly, these two colors blended together, making the rune look like a Yin and Yang symbol.
As the two colors blended, the rune became more and more complete, increasing the power of both Chu Wuyao and the Six Paths Vision in the process.
Time quickly went by and just when it seemed that this increase would continue going on forever, the blending of the two colors came to an abrupt stop.
This was not because Chu Wuyao had fully understood this new Authority, but because the white chrysanthemums had all been consumed by her Vision, forcing her to wake up from her enlightenment.
Although she was a little reluctant, Chu Wuyao took her eyes off the branch that she was holding, and stared at the rune embedded in the hole behind her Vision.
"Another aspect of the Six Paths Vision has been found.", she muttered, as she brought up the system panel, wanting to take a look at her changes.
[Authorities: Life and Death(10%), Good and Evil(100%), Cause and Effect(100%), Heavenly Punishment(100%)]
[Vision: Six Paths(Life and Death, Good and Evil, Cause and Effect, Heavenly Punishment,...)]
Just like she expected, another addition had appeared to the [Authorities] and [Vision] columns.
With this addition, Chu Wuyao had found four out of the five secondary aspects of the Six Paths Vision, and there was only the main aspect and a single secondary aspect that were yet to be found.
"Although my understanding of the Life and Death Authority isn't very high and I've just gotten started, now that I've come in contact with it, it's only a matter of time before I fully understand it.", she thought and she felt faintly excited.
Chu Wuyao had a strong hunch that she didn't need to find the main aspect of her Vision.
As long as she found the last secondary aspect of the Six Paths Vision, everything would "click" together and she would undergo a massive transformation.
