Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

Chapter 212  Divine Fate Physique: Breakthrough!

In the depths of the mystical lake, the battleground between Sun Wukong and the evolving serpent was obscured by a sudden mist, creating an ethereal and otherworldly atmosphere.

"What?! Where did he go?!" The serpent was taken aback as he couldn't sense Wukong.

The serpent, disoriented by Sun Wukong's disappearance, lashed out randomly, attempting to strike an unseen foe.

*Bang!*

*Boom!*

Amidst the mist, a golden glow emanated, and something pierced the serpent's head with lethal precision.

With a shudder, the spirit beast succumbed to its demise.

'How did...' were its last thoughts.

As the mist cleared, Sun Wukong stood atop the serpent's lifeless form, muttering an ancient technique, "Heavenly Sage Eyes: Myriad Illusions."

His eyes turned a bright golden colour with a blue runic symbol on it.

This was one of his abilities that he awakened on his recent journey here.

Heavenly Sage Eyes granted him many abilities but he has only awakened one of them so far.

'Myriad Illusions. It is indeed as powerful as Master said,' Wukong thought.

In a swift and practiced motion, Sun Wukong tore the giant serpent apart, revealing a glowing golden stone nestled within its remains.

"The Heavenly Sage Stone! It's really the heavenly sage stone!"

"But how did Master manage to get and preserve this?"

"Sigh...there are still so many things that I don't know even with my awakened memories. Some memories are still unclear and yet to be unearthed."

"Nevertheless, I will forge ahead without slowing down because of this. Morever..."

Sun Wukong recalled his most recent agreement.

"That kid...tch! How can someone with such a low cultivation level be so strong?"

"When I hadn't awakened my memories up to the current point, I could barely sense it but now..."

"That kid is a freak amongst freaks! But with the Heavenly Sage Eyes he would definitely fall for one of my illusions."

"Hehehe!" He laughed thinking of his victory.

"After all..."

"No one below the Nascent Soul Realm can resist!"

With a satisfied nod, he retrieved the serpent's corpse, intending to make a meal of it, and disappeared into a nearby cave.

Meanwhile, in another realm, Arthur entered the inner world where Freya resided.

The atmosphere here held a serene quality, and Freya was found in deep meditation.

A golden aura surrounded her, and Arthur, with his empathic abilities, could sense the profound power she possessed.

"This is...the aura of fate."

"She possesses the aura of fate?" Arthur muttered.

He had used his vibrant soul power to conceal himself and thus he wouldn't be sensed by Freya and wake her up from her cultivation state.

"Master," Aixen appeared beside him.

"You know what's going on right?" Arthur asked expectantly.

Aixen knew that most of his memories were lost and usually informs him of the things he can't recall.

Like now.

"This girl has the Divine Fate Physique."

"A heavenly physique related to fate?"

"Yes and no."

"What do you mean?"

"It is related to fate, that you can say. But in actuality it is THE main physique to walk the Fate Dao."

"What? That old man didn't mention this part," Arthur recalled what the Guardian of the Red Sky Sect told him.

'He only said that she had a mysterious power of the heavens after she defies fate...'

'Sneaky bastard.'

"I understand why, Master," Aixen nodded and explained.

"The Divine Fate Physique is too powerful. Those who have it and natural-born seers. They can sense the line and threads of fate and most importantly... slightly alter it."

Arthur raised his eyebrows, "That powerful?"

"Yes."

"I see. If that is the case it makes sense why the fate gem reacted that way. It turns out there is some connection after all."

"But, Master..." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Hmm? What is it?"

"Those with the Divine Fate Physique are usually favoured by the Grand Dao but..."

"She isn't a favoured one," Arthur narrowed his eyes.

----

Arthur, having decided not to disturb Freya's meditation, seamlessly transitioned to the inner world of the Nine Heavens Palace.

There, amidst the ethereal surroundings, he entered the cultivation time chamber.

As he settled into meditation, Arthur delved deep into the recesses of his soul, guided by an instinctual pull toward the location of the Fate Gem.

Within the depths of his consciousness, he discovered a captivating sight—a golden-red and purple star aura, a celestial presence floating alongside his soul.

The significance of this star wasn't lost on Arthur.

"An Emperor Star?" Arthur recalled this bit of information.

It bore the essence of a sovereign, a symbol reserved for rulers of worlds, much like the previous Mortal Emperor of the Mortal Emperor Realm.

It was a revelation that sent ripples through his understanding of his own destiny.

"This is what the Fate Gem stole for the Heavens," Arthur mused inwardly.

"But why?"

The Grand Dao will never bestow upon him a gift of such unparalleled magnitude, and this star represented a heavenly authority that transcended mortal realms.

Sensing a shift in his perception of things, Arthur realized it was time to awaken part of dormant memories that lay within him.

'Everything feels like a coincidence but I know it isn't. At least not with me who has the Supreme Fate Gem!'

With a determined focus, he summoned the Soul Gem, and entered it.

Entering the Soul Gem was akin to stepping into a realm of infinite possibilities.

Within its ethereal expanse, Arthur withdrew the spiritual essence given to him by the Guardian of the Red Sky Sect.

"With this I should be able to breakthrough to the Third Level of the Nine Heavens Soul Technique."

Arthur began to revolve the soul cultivation technique and the spiritual essence swiftly disappeared.

*Huff*

Arthur let out a breath as that happened, he could feel his soul beginning to have some changes.

It was not growing stronger but he was feeling that his power over his soul was getting deeper and deeper.

Arthur lost his sense of time and immersed himself in that feeling, suddenly...

*Bang!*

He broke through!
