“Alright, then tell me, what's the deal with this Crypt?”
Li Yun blinked and asked again.
Ye Shenfeng gave Li Yun another rather unexpected answer, “This Crypt was originally built by my Ye Clan.”
“What? The Crypt was built by your Ye Clan?”
Li Yun suddenly felt a bit speechless: “If you keep talking like this, in the end, the entire Heavenly Ancient Continent won't be your Ye Clan's, right?”
“That's not the case, but this Crypt was indeed built by our Ye Clan. At the time, we built this Crypt just to serve as a warehouse for miscellaneous items.”
“This is a treasure vault?”
“No, just a warehouse for miscellaneous items. At that time, our Ye Clan didn't pay much attention to it at all… But who could have expected that great battle to break out?”
“That great battle caused the Ye Clan's ancestral land to collapse out of the Saint Heaven Realm, and also destroyed several truly important treasure vaults in the ancestral land. Instead, this unimportant warehouse for miscellaneous items was preserved!”
Li Yun: “……”
“So, it's still a case of bad Qi Fortune?”
Ye Shenfeng glanced at Li Yun, ignored him, and continued speaking to himself: “When the Ye Clan's ancestral land collapsed out of the Saint Heaven Realm back then, I don't know if it was an accident, but a total of three thousand mysterious destiny stone tablets were spewed out from the Illusory Immortal Palace, two of which fell into this fragment of our Ye Clan's ancestral land.”
“Of the two destiny stone tablets, one was obtained by the Wuwei Dao Palace, which later tracked it down, and its whereabouts are unknown after the Holy Land Dao Palace was destroyed.”
“The other one is deep within this Crypt, enveloped by a mysterious halo, and has not been discovered to this day.”
“What? There's actually something like this?”
Li Yun immediately shivered: “I understand, you're looking to cooperate with me for that destiny stone tablet?”
“Exactly!”
Ye Shenfeng didn't mince words and directly stated his true purpose.
“That destiny stone tablet is exceptionally mysterious. After research by generations of our Ye Clan's senior experts, we finally have a relatively reliable guess.”
“The destiny stone tablet should contain the Minor Destiny Technique. To enter the true Illusory Immortal Palace, one must first cultivation the Minor Destiny Technique to the extreme. This should be the quota released by the Illusory Immortal Palace!”
“That doesn't make sense… Since you have this guess, wouldn't it be better to hide and comprehend and cultivation it yourself? Why are you looking for others to cooperate with? Aren't you afraid the quota will be snatched?”
“Hehe, I know what you mean. If I could, I wouldn't want to reveal this matter… But it's not as simple as you think.”
“How so?”
Ye Shenfeng said: “After the Wuwei Dao Palace obtained a destiny stone tablet, information about the Minor Destiny Technique spread. The Minor Destiny Technique was even hailed as the supreme Divine Power by so-called diviners… But in reality, according to our Ye Clan's observation, no one in the Holy Land Dao Palace was able to cultivation the Minor Destiny Technique.”
“We in the Ye Clan ourselves have researched the destiny stone tablet and also discovered that to touch the true destiny stone tablet, one must first penetrate the layer of mysterious halo enveloping it.”
“But it's very difficult, too difficult.”
“Our Ye Clan's past Great Power of the Integration Realms were all helpless against it. Of course, that's not to say we gained nothing.”
“The Reversing Fate Art that was spread by the Heavens Mandate Sect earlier was actually created by the Ye Clan's ancestors by comprehending that mysterious halo.”
Li Yun's eyes immediately lit up. He really hadn't expected the 【Reversing Fate Art】 to have such a history.
“Destiny is a very peculiar thing, ethereal and difficult to grasp.”
“But according to the comprehension of our Ye Clan's ancestors, every living being in this world has their own fate, and within that fate is contained their respective Destiny.”
“Once the Reversing Fate Art is cultivated successfully, it can strengthen one's own Destiny to a certain extent!”
“If Destiny is strong, the fate is tough enough to be qualified to impact the halo enveloping the destiny stone tablet…”
“We deliberately spread the Reversing Fate Art, the purpose of which was also to find some people with stronger Destiny to cultivation…”
“Wait!”
Li Yun frowned: “I have indeed cultivated the Reversing Fate Art, but this cultivation method only enhances the source of life itself. It does improve one's talent to some extent, but I haven't sensed the existence of Destiny or fate as you said…”
Ye Shenfeng smiled.
“If you could sense the existence of your own Destiny, would you still be here talking to me?”
“Uh…”
Li Yun was stunned for a moment and realized he really couldn't answer this question.
Whether it's fate or Destiny.
Up to now, he really hasn't felt it at all.
One can only say that this thing is indeed even more elusive than Qi Fortune.
And for something he hasn't seen or come into contact with, it's really hard for him to talk about it, he really doesn't know where to start.
Ye Shenfeng added: “Besides, things like Destiny and fate… are actually just conclusions derived from some things our Ye Clan's ancestors comprehended by observing the destiny stone tablet and then extrapolated. Whether they are specifically correct, even I don't know.”
“Anyway, this cooperation isn't actually difficult to talk about.”
“After years of preparation, our Ye Clan has created a Formation that can combine the Destiny of others, called Nine Lives As One!”
“It's to gather the Destiny of nine people to impact the halo of the destiny stone tablet. Once successful, all nine people will have the fated opportunity to witness the true destiny stone tablet!”
“Originally, if you hadn't appeared, the nine people, including me, were already ready!”
“But since you're here, I want you to replace one of them and try it with me. I think having you join might give us more confidence!”
“What do you think?”
Li Yun's eyes darted around: “Wouldn't that be bad?”
“You're already prepared, and then you want me to replace one of them. Isn't that equivalent to me depriving someone of their fated opportunity? That's not appropriate…”
Ye Shenfeng immediately laughed upon hearing this.
“What you're saying… Forget it, I know what you're worried about, aren't you just afraid I'll scheme against you?”
“Having such thoughts is only human nature!”
“How about this, I will proceed according to the original plan, with the nine of us trying first, and you can watch from the side… If we can't succeed, you can replace one of them, how about that?”
When Li Yun heard this, his eyes immediately lit up again.
Not participating directly, but being able to watch from the side, wasn't that giving him an fated opportunity to observe in disguise?
There's such a good thing?
If he didn't observe it well, wouldn't he be letting down this great fated opportunity?
Of course, he couldn't say this directly.
“Alright, since you've said so, if I don't agree now, I'll be being petty. Okay, let's do as you say, you guys go first, I'll watch from the side. If it works, fine, if not, I'll join in and give it a try!”
“Okay, it's settled then. I'll make some preparations, and we'll officially start in three days!”
