Paragon Of Sin

Chapter 1870 Chapter 1862: Contest For Tiny Heaven (3)

”...Heaven-Saint?” Despite the piercing stare from Wei Wuyin, the Incandescent Star Palace Lord kept his outward composure for the sake of his reputation before his subordinates.

”Palace Lord…?” The head communication officer of the Stellar Brilliance sensed that something was off, particularly regarding the atmosphere that was slowly growing tense and heavy. While they were all envious of the Right Vice-Palace Masterʼs opportunity earlier, they were all cultivators who were keenly aware of Wei Wuyinʼs status and strength. As such, they kept their opinions to themselves.

Had the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Saint offended their Vice-Palace Master by his offer, producing a disagreement between him and their Palace Lord, or did the Vice-Palace Master reject the offer impolitely, creating a rift between the two? This could be…troublesome.

However, their thoughts were irrelevant. Wei Wuyin had calmed down as he retracted his suspicious gaze, sensing no intent for intentional deceit or manipulation from the Incandescent Star Palace Lord. There was a strong possibility that this effect that was floating about was a minor expression of emulating the Heavenly Daosʼ power, and it was a part of cultivation that required significant understanding of oneʼs innate powers.

Perhaps only when the Incandescent Star Palace Lord reached a higher stage of cultivation or grew experienced with his variety of powers with time in his cultivation realm would he be able to understand this power.

Yet this discovery, something that he couldnʼt have figured out without having complete information and extensive experience with influential forces, personally dared to observe the Heavenly Daosʼ secrets in his wild youthful years, and his identity as an self-aware Empyrean and Inheritor of not just one, but two Primordial Seeds of Sin, exposed a key secret that had always puzzled him. It was just this, but his joint exposure to the Maleficent-Chaos Sovereign as well.

An extremely timely discovery, grown from the accumulation of knowledge and experiences, blossomed all at once.

Long ago, he had concluded that true Bloodline of Sin cultivators had the means to actively utilize Karmic Luck Value, as he could only use it passively, given his severely lacking cultivation by the will of the Heavenly Daos. Additionally, Bloodline of Sin Inheritors cultivated the True Soul of Sin from the Scripture of Sin, a uniquely specialized True Soul-cultivation method to cultivate oneʼs True Soul to withstand the challenges of the Eighteen Calamities of Hell.

Outside of specialty products like formations, arrays, or products like the Abstruse Spiritforce Pill, most cultivators that had just ascended as a Supreme Sage had no means to cultivate their True Soul, and would spend countless years devising a way to do so.

However, just now, he theorized that the Maleficent-Chaos Sovereign was containing Karmic Sin within her Microheaven. If so, then it was entirely possible for Resonant Soul Realm cultivators, like the Incandescent Star Palace Lord and others who could be considered to have reached the Realm of Sages, to have unique expressions of their gathered Karmic Luck Value, turning inactive Karmic Luck Value theyʼve accumulated in life into active Karmic Luck Value, akin to a Blessed. There was even a chance that Microheavens could absorb the inactive Karmic Luck Value of others or outright activate it for their current life.
Without the signature of the Heavenly Daos, the expression of influence would be noticeably different, making it almost impossible for him to notice. Given that each Inheritor was supposed to be at the Realm of Sages before their Bloodline of Sin became active, surpassing their trial upon obtaining a Primordial Seed of Sin, then this unique Microheaven influence would be noticed instantly by him, making it pointless to include that functionality into the abilities of Bloodline of Sinʼs tattoo.

While the Heavenly Daos influence was definitely at a higher level than this, Wei Wuyinʼs lack of cultivation would be the issue in this case. If a blind mortal had the ability to sense flows of vitality or waves of sound, then thatʼs greater than the average mortal, but that doesnʼt mean they can see light.

They were blind, after all.

ʼWould this be a flaw? No. Iʼm the flawed anomaly, not the Bloodline of Sinʼs unique power, if my theory is true.ʼ Wei Wuyin thought and immediately relaxed. His gaze softened immediately, and his desire to place hostile blame on the Incandescent Star Palace Lord dissipated into nothing.

ʼIf true, then thereʼs a different type of Blessed out there.ʼ His Second Mind was following his line of thinking entirely and felt that Wei Wuyinʼs conclusion was highly accurate, if not completely correct. Only then could the sensation he felt, the deep feelings of influence, be justifiably reasoned within both of their minds.

ʼYeah. Not to mention the possibility that Iʼve been manipulated without my knowledge due to my inferior cultivation base and interacting with those other types of Blessed,ʼ Wei Wuyin replied as his Second Mind grew increasingly solemn. That possibility was incredibly likely. Incredibly so!

ʼIʼll scour your recent experiences and see if I can locate any irregularities. Fortunately, this time, you were near the source and this other type of Blessed.ʼ As his Second Mind retreated into the Library of Eden to search every millisecond of Wei Wuyinʼs experiences in his lifetime, his last words allowed Wei Wuyin to understand that only this specific situation could have possibly exposed this.

Yet this also gave him considerable interest in the future; the Realm of Sages, the Resonant Soul Realm, and Karmic Sin and Karmic Luck, how would they affect his Microheaven upon reaching that grand realm? What type of expression of force or influence would an active Karmic Luck Value look like?

ʼWhy do I have the feeling that my understanding of this will arrive soon?ʼ Wei Wuyin felt the trusted intuition of his, but there was no basis for it. He could only turn to the Incandescent Star Palace Lord and say, ”My friend, if you think I should keep true to my earlier words, then Iʼll grant Lady Zhou the opportunity, and treat this matter seriously.”

Wei Wuyin expertly gave way to a path for the Incandescent Star Palace Lord to retreat or push forward, simultaneously allowing Zhou Yiyin to give a signal to her Palace Lord to determine her stance. He wanted to observe the situation closely, especially this potentially unique Blessed created by a Supreme Sageʼs powers of karmic influence.

”Oh?” The Incandescent Star Palace Lord felt the cordial shift by Wei Wuyin, initially taken aback by his words, but he smiled as if he expected this given their close relationship to grant Zhou Yiyin a ʼsecond chanceʼ at acquiring fate-defining fortune. He looked at Zhou Yiyin, observing her expression and feelings, conveying that this was her chance. She could decide to forfeit it immediately or seize it—it was up to her.

However, how could she not react with resolve after almost losing this opportunity forever, spiraling from total dejection? With a curt nod backed with a pair of beautiful eyes imbued with determination and excitement, Zhou Yiyin made her choice.

”Iʼll leave the decision to Right Vice-Master Zhou.” While ambiguous, he had wholeheartedly agreed to accept this chance.

Wei Wuyin accepted it, turning to face Zhou Yiyin with a congenial smile. ”Do you accept my conditions?”

Zhou Yiyin was experienced and not soft-hearted like a young girl in the springtime of her youth, so she hurriedly replied without any hesitation: ”Yes! If Lady Cao will have me.”

”Good! Then, you can have a few days to settle your affairs. Youʼll be my wifeʼs second maidservant for a thousand years.” Wei Wuyin clapped his hands together and officially declared the result, sending waves of shock across the cockpit. Did the Right Vice-Palace Master just…quit?!

”Yes, your Majesty!” She was quite quick on the uptake, immediately changing her form of address to Wei Wuyinʼs position as an Imperial Ruler, a Founding Emperor of an empire.

The Incandescent Star Palace Lord didnʼt blink at the action. What Wei Wuyin had conveyed earlier was fully heard by him. What the crew didnʼt know wasnʼt just that Zhou Yiyin had agreed to become a maidservant, but she had also agreed to act as a bedmate as well. Wei Wuyin was unable to hide his impulse of desire, so he outright demanded what his heart had wanted.

Alongside Grey Rose, Zhou Yiyin would be her second maidservant. With two companions, one at the Mystic Overlord level and another at the Enlightened Sage level, Cao Cuifen would be able to act as she pleased in any galaxy, fulfilling any desire she had to express her freedom, whether it be to fight for opportunities, use them to assist her in cultivation, or act as her grape feeder and banana fan holder.

”Be sure to serve Lady Cao well, Miss Zhou.” The Incandescent Star Palace Lord was completely on board, and he was keenly aware that the maidservant of a Heavenly Saint Alchemistʼs wife was far better than a measly Vice-Palace Master to the Incandescent Star Palace Lord.

Zhou Yiyin bowed deeply to the Incandescent Star Palace Lord, demonstrating an extraordinary degree of respect and gratitude. This only elicited a carefree laughter from the Palace Lord, a warm, fuzzy feeling blooming in his heart. It was no different than watching oneʼs child seize an opportunity to work for a billionaire instead of running the family business. The experience in the mortal world would be unrivaled, but a job well done would set them up with unlimited prospects.

If she hugged that golden thigh of a Heavenly Saint Alchemistʼs wife tight enough, there was no way he would refuse Cao Cuifen asking for specific products for her even after the thousand years of service ended. Moreover, a thousand years of service for a Mystic-Heaven Essence Stone?

That was an annual salary of one million Mystic-World Essence Stones a year, and even if she obtained a billion Mystic-World Essence Stones, she still might not be able to acquire a Mystic-Heaven Essence Stone for that price!

”Shall we go then? Iʼve heard a lot about Sovereign Oakfather,” Wei Wuyin changed the topic after tossing a spirit tablet to Zhou Yiyin. There were instructions on what to do, and upon activation, itʼll send her directly to Cao Cuifen via a Void Portal.

”Haha! Of course. We shouldnʼt leave that old woodsman waiting. He might toss an axe out way,” with a smile, the Incandescent Star Palace Lord swiftly made arrangements as he and Wei Wuyin left the Stellar Brilliance with a flicker, vanishing from everyoneʼs perceptions, only to reappear outside the vesselʼs defensive border. They exchanged glances in the Dark Void, and after a brief exchange of unknown words, they both executed a Spatial Shift.
