Chapter 3 Vol 21 (1/2)

Book 21, The Bloodlotus Blooms, Chapter 3 – The Mirrors of the Heavens

Every single goldstar bead’s aura was now far h they had evolved so had just mastered the second of the Nine Chaos Seals

“How truly extraordinary It supports and reinforces the [Five Treasures] sword-art, and is evencould immediately sense how extraordinary these nine seals truly were “If I had those two clones each bring a goldstar bead into Undermoon Lake and meditate on it, it most likely would’ve been beneficial to them in their quest”

It was extremely difficult to completely memorize all nine of the Nine Chaos Seals Daoist Three Purities had spent an enor, and had only been able toa World God, Mother Nuwa had only been able tocould possibly memorize these incredibly profound and arcane chaos seals; he had to keep the goldstar beads by his side in order to train in them The reason why he hadn’t taken them into Undermoon Lake was because he was afraid that if he died in Undermoon Lake, the beads would be lost as well

Even if just a single one of the 3600 beads was lost, the set would becoether into the Thirty-Six Heavens in the future

“Foroldstar beads in the skies joined together, rapidly ether into the Thirty-Six Heavens

The Thirty-Six Heavens hoverered around Ning, and Ning could vaguely sense that were so had a sudden thought, and he ie!”

Whoosh The thirty-six dazzling, glowing globes suddenly transformed into a series of ancient, unadorned mirrors These mirrors all had bronze borders to therams of the sun and the s, birds, and other beasts on theetation…

Every single mirror seemed quite extraordinary

“Eh?” Ning stared carefully at these thirty-six levitating bronze mirrors with curiosity

The Thirty-Six Heavens could transfored intohad ue, hidden connection between theo with the flow and transform as they pleased…and they became mirrors Their current appearance was thethe power of the Thirty-Six Heavens when using the second chaos seal

Ning’s Iy quickly filled into them

“So that’s hoorks They are actually able to scry the workings of fate itself,” Ning murmured to himself “They can view the past, the present…and the future?”

There weren’t many treasures in the Three Reals of fate, but there were a few The number one such treasure was the Book of Life and Death!

The Book of Life and Death was one of the most mysterious, arcane treasures that existed It recorded the details of the past and present lives of countless living creatures It was capable of recording hundreds or even thousands of lives for each person The Book of Life and Death was so powerful that just by scribbling a few extra s onto it, a person as destined to live just thirty years could instead be given a lifespan of three hundred years! It could be used to effortlessly change the workings of fate It truly was an utterly heaven-defying treasure

The Celestial Court, Buddhist Sangha, Daoist Path, and the Three Sovereigns all had treasures of their own that could also scry on the workings of fate They had also developed various fate-scrying methods and techniques as well

Another example was the ‘Stone of Three Lives’ that lay by the side of the River of Forgetfulness The Stone of Three Lives was si the past, present, and future lives of a person

“My Thirty-Six Heavens are quite si nodded slowly “If that’s the case…then since it has the appearance of mirrors, let them be known as the Mirrors of the Heavens”

There were only sotreasures in the Three Realms, and each of them had been created by major powers This was the first ti had acquired a treasure like this But of course, Ning hadn’t created it on his own; he didn’t have that ability! He had relied on on the power of the Nine Chaos Seals, unconsciously applying the them into the Mirrors of the Heavens

“They are capable of scanning one’s past, present, and future In addition, these thirty-six les; they are perfect for defense In fact, it should even be possible to use the carefully expected his treasures, quickly co their uniqueness

In the past, the goldstar beads had h quality, which hy Ning would use them in the form of various weapons But now, thanks to the chaos seals, they had gained certain special powers as well

Aftercontinued to wander the Three Real their joys, their sorrows, their farewells, their reunions, their love, their hate, their debts, their grudges

Love…love was the hardest one to truly fathom

No expert, no matter hoerful, would be able to clai couldn’t, despite having e of heartforce Not even Houyi, who had e of heartforce, could make that claim

One year passed after the other Ning continued to wander the vast world…

Rumble…

A towering palace began to collapse as a flood of hatred, y soared into the heavens

Two ar each other, as were many mortals

“Is this what things have co stared doards at the slaughter proceeding He shook his head He couldn’t, wouldn’t get involved This sight was incredibly common these days in the Three Realms

“Who can co the hearts of men?”

“Why must they cause the entire Three Real felt quite powerless Not even theof him

Even if he stopped this particular battle, as soon as he left the ould continue During his journey across the Three Realo discovered that all of these disputes were caused by the secret machinations of the Seamless Gate Aside from the more mundane methods of incitement they used, the Seamless Gate had a particularly powerful tool at their disposal…the Heavenly Dao of Heart!

The Seainally had six Heavenly Daos; the Heavenly Daos of Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, Heart, and Primordial Chaos

The Pangu Chaosworld had ten Heavenly Daos; the Heavenly Daos of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Yin, Yang, Destruction, Life, and Primordial Chaos

But then, the Priuidance of Mother Nuwa, the Three Realu Chaosworld and its Daos as the foundation The Heaven Realest surviving pieces of the Pangu chaosworld The Pangu Chaosworld had served as the core, while the Seamless Chaosworld had been used as a support structure Thus, the Heavenly Daos reu Chaosworld!

As a result there was no way to, for example, truly understand and master the Heavenly Dao of Wind The Three Realms had a flawed Heavenly Dao of Wind that had been divided up into many different Grand Daos

The Heavenly Dao of Heart sier existed in the Three Realms
