Paragon of Sinchapter 1010: a heavenly opportunity

The phenomenon in the sky was accompanied by rambunctious chants and awe-filled gasps. They shouted, "True Destined Voyager!" It was so often, so inspired, so ecstatic that it resembled musical prayers that slowly entered harmony.

In the City of Endless, standing mid-air, there was a cloaked figure, unseen by the millions below. The figure's lofty demeanor, long and slender legs, and bewitching pair of blue eyes cut an exquisite image. It was far too unfortunate that no one could bear witness to this moment.

It was evident at this point from the slight protrusions from their cloak that this figure was female. She was observing the changes in the sky, the blinding radiance of the Solar Star, the artistic imagery of the pillars exuding light, gathering into a single point, and cascading downwards in a vigorous rush.

DOOSH!

Her eyes containing worldly charm that could beguile the hearts and minds of the common folk cast their focus on two figures currently swallowed by this congregation of light. She, too, had witnessed Wei Wuyin's ease of completion of the Voyage of the Wanderer. The world of chaos contained untold dangers, the greatest out of any trial, and relied solely on one's comprehension and the ability to adapt to an unknown environment.

An essential skill of any great wanderer of the cultivation world. It would be an understatement to say that she was surprised. Not only had Wei Wuyin solved the world of chaos in the first few seconds of entering, but he also helped another succeed. More importantly, more shockingly, it wasn't by bringing her along, protecting her life, but by allowing her to grasp insights regarding chaotic space.

A phenomenally difficult feat to accomplish, yet it was done! Even if Wei Wuyin had brought Ye Ziling along, she would not have been granted the status of a True Destined Voyager by the formation's parameters. It was solely due to her comprehension of fixed, stable, and chaotic space that the radiant light was cascading upon her too!

Those gleaming blue eyes settled themselves to the Solar Star with three Mystic Radiance Belts. There was a mysterious, uncertain light within her eyes.

Wei Wuyin was unaware of the thoughts of others, still largely ignorant of all the little intricacies and meanings behind these voyages. Besides what little Liu Suyin informed him about before she shut down out of caution, he was wading through this world with the smallest of oars and the largest of boats.

Fortunately, the heavenly wind was at his side as his sails were being pushed forward. The beginnings of his fortuitous encounter designed by the Heavenly Daos were right here! He felt it through the quivering excitement of his Bloodline of Sin, he felt it from the solemn warnings of the Heavenly Daos and felt it within the depths of his soul. Wei Wuyin didn't know what it would be, but he knew that it was an opportunity that could end up as a whimper or as a supernova!

DOOSH!

He was drowned in the radiance of light cascading downwards, his silver eyes glinting as he felt his entire being, mind, body, and soul become washed by a strange feeling. He felt…inspected? He felt…judged? There was an external force of the world that was interacting with him, using the light to connect with his Sea of Consciousness.

Eden slowly became silver in color, alongside the walls of his Sea of Consciousness. Infected by this radiance! It was so powerful, so terrifying, that Wei Wuyin felt as if he was a tiny ant standing before a world-rupturing thunderstorm demanding his life, memories, and thoughts.

"Summon your Spatial Resonance! Conjure all your insights regarding space! All of it!" Wei Wuyin's mind was thrashed by a familiar voice belonging to a little girl—the Heavenly War Spirit! It was still in its egg form, but it exerted itself greatly to speak those words as clearly as possible.

Wei Wuyin was confused for the briefest of moments, but he didn't hesitate to do so. He galvanized his Spatial Resonance, conjuring ripples of Grand Convergence, and then proceeded to substantiate all of his insights, comprehensions, and theories yet to be put into practice regarding Fixed Space, Stable Space, and Chaotic Space. He didn't hold anything back!

The sensation of being thoroughly scanned was a little uncomfortable.

ROAR!

Kratos roared! His heart thumped with such force that his blood circulatory system completed an entire cycle in nearly an instant. Wei Wuyin's silver eyes tinged with grey, the signature color of the Void Dao, and began to encroach on his Sea of Consciousness.

Eden's roots assisted, bringing Kratos' quintessential light into Wei Wuyin's Sea of Consciousness.

Outside, the cascading waterfall of radiant light deviated slightly, the majority of which became intensely concentrated on Wei Wuyin. This had, unintentionally, saved Ye Ziling's life. Her mind was teetering on the verge of complete collapse, unable to handle the pressure of this type of inspection. A wave of relief surged through her heart as those blinded eyes of hers regained color and vision, slowly closing. Her body slumped powerlessly to the ground.

Thud!

She was unconscious.

Wei Wuyin was unaware of this, but he had no time to divert any attention anyhow. After Kratos and Eden took action, he felt the inspection grow in intensity. He also felt Kratos unleashing its innate insights instilled into the True Void Dragon Bloodline!

These insights were something etched into Kratos, understood by it from instinct, but difficult for Wei Wuyin to grasp without personal exploration and experimentation. In a way, it was as if the intricacies of his bloodline were being extracted and used to attract all of this world's newfound radiance.

"Good! Your bloodline is helping!" The Heavenly War Spirit seemed extremely excited as if hope had been instilled in its heart. But Wei Wuyin was still ignorant of what was happening. He connected to and awakened his dormant Second Mind, as his primary mind was far too occupied with conjuring and maintaining every insight of space he'd ever gleaned in his lifetime.

The Second Mind formed a mental incarnation, awed by the walls of silver, and the various floating and gorgeous runes dancing throughout his Sea of Consciousness, swimming and leaping about like trained ballerinas. He zipped like a mental shadow towards the Heavenly War Spirit's golden egg form.

"What's happening?" Wei Wuyin inquired.

The Heavenly War Spirit was somewhat shaken that Wei Wuyin was here. It was literally shaking. But after realizing that Wei Wuyin was still fully invested in this miraculous opportunity, the shaking stilled as if frozen by shock.

"You've split your mind?" The Heavenly War Spirit bewilderingly asked. "Never mind that—you're currently being blessed with an artificial link to the Law of Space! You must grasp this opportunity properly." It seemed to put its curiosity to the side, telling Wei Wuyin what he wanted to know.

"Artificial link to the Law of Space? Laws?" Wei Wuyin's eyes brightened. How many times has he come into contact with that word?

The Heavenly War Spirit elaborated, "A link to the Law of Space is an event that can only be formed by a Supreme Heavenly Treasure or a Heavenly Saint, the latter would have to sacrifice an unimaginable price to do so. However, doing so will open up an intrinsically profound force that governs the entire existing world—Laws!

"An artificial link is a little bit inferior, but it can do something that others can't! It could allow those who are mere Mortals to obtain a Seed of Law, obtaining the recognition and acceptance of that particular law. Essentially, acquire their blessing!" The Heavenly War Spirit explained, and Wei Wuyin was curious how this information seemed so abundantly clear to him. Typically, aspects of cultivation beyond your realm were unimaginably difficult to explain.

Seed of Law!

Mortals!

Blessing!

Wei Wuyin fully understood it all. Was this how Long Chen and Jing Jiu grasped their Seed of Law? An artificial link? However, he didn't recall Jing Jiu having a similar experience to this in those stolen memories.

"Oh! I forgot; extremely powerful cultivators at the peak of the Mystic Ascendant Realm can infuse a perpetual link into an infant's soul at birth. Of course, the price is even more egregious in cost than what a Heavenly Saint may pay to simply open up a link." The Heavenly War Spirit's excitement nearly caused it to forget this exception.

"..." Before Wei Wuyin could ponder the implications of those words, feeling slightly uneasy, his Sea of Consciousness began to aggressively tremble.

Suddenly, Wei Wuyin's Second Mind's incarnation felt as if something had been attached to his soul!

"Yes!" The Heavenly War Spirit was exhilarated. The happiness rolling from the egg was as substantial as a frosty wind, existing as a form of golden mist. "You did it! You obtained a Seed of Law!" Just from its infectious showing of joy, one could tell that the benefits of a Seed of Law were unbelievable.

In the City of Endless, the people watching the gorgeous display had their expressions change. "Is it changing colors?!" Those powerful experts capable of viewing the silver radiance saw that it began to transition into a darker, duller color…

ROAR!
