Chapter Three: The Art of Fate Observation

Page 1/3
Only after seeing Jiang Wan’s blood drip to claim ownership did the turtle finally close its eyes and pass away peacefully.
Jiang Wan thought of the Black Tortoise, the turtle—wondering if they were the same—so she decided to try it!
She pricked her finger, letting a drop of blood fall onto the egg, and to her surprise, it was actually absorbed.
[Notification: You have found the last trace of the Black Tortoise bloodline among countless worlds and billions of living beings—a feat surely achieved through great hardship.
You have now formed a spiritual beast contract with the ancient divine beast, the Black Tortoise. Task complete.]
[Task Reward: Dao Sword Intent]
As the system’s words faded, the Dao Sword Intent infused her body. She closed her eyes and felt herself surrounded by myriad swords, converging into a Dao Sword Intent powerful enough to cleave the heavens, ascending straight into the clouds.
Meanwhile, inside the Wanfu Sect, Sect Leader Leng Feng stood solemnly in Jiang Wan’s courtyard. His white Taoist robe was adorned with intricate golden talisman patterns, exuding an aura of mystery and profundity. His face was stern and composed.
“Where is she? Didn’t she beat Yao Yao into unconsciousness? Why is she nowhere to be found now?”
Two maids knelt nervously on the ground.
“Reporting to the Sect Leader, the disciples have not seen the young lady. Perhaps… she might have snuck out to play.”
One maid said, and the other added,
“Sect Leader, it’s also possible that the young lady knows she’s in the wrong and is hiding somewhere. We haven’t been able to find her yet.”
Leng Feng glanced at the two maids, his eyes darkening.
“If Wanwan isn’t found today, neither of you need to remain in the Wanfu Sect any longer.”
The two maids trembled with fear, kneeling and begging for mercy.
Outside the courtyard, Madam Li’s heart was anxious. She forced herself to remain calm as she spoke to True Lord Leng Feng:
“Sect Leader, Yao Yao has woken up. She says she wants to see you. Please don’t blame Miss Wanwan. I hope I’m not too late.
Please, Sect Leader, don’t blame Wanwan—she was born strong, and children don’t know how to control the force of their blows.”
Leng Feng frowned.
“Enough. Take me to see Yao Yao first, hmm?”
At that moment, from the back mountain of the Wanfu Sect, Jiang Wan’s Dao Sword Intent soared into the sky, causing quite a commotion.
Leng Feng, who had just taken two steps, vanished instantly. With such a disturbance in the sect, he naturally had to investigate.
Such a powerful sword intent meant either a great master had recently comprehended the sword path or a peerless sword was about to appear.
Jiang Wan stretched her body, noticing the blisters on her hands had healed. She grinned.

“I never imagined the Dao Sword Intent could be used this way.
But one thing’s for sure, I can’t climb up there!
How can I get out of here?”
Now that the egg had become a contracted spiritual beast, she could no longer consume it. Her little belly was so hungry it felt like her chest and back were pressed together—such misery.
She had never heard of a cultivator dying from starvation, though she wasn’t a cultivator yet.
Right, now that no one was disturbing her, she could start drawing Qi into her body.
With that thought, she sat cross-legged and began Qi absorption.
Watching the five-colored spiritual lights around her, she used her will to let them enter her body. Without Madam Li’s interference, she succeeded in drawing Qi into her body.
[Latest Task: Ravage the Wanfu Sect, breaking your father’s heart, the Sect Leader, by sparing his life but crippling his cultivation, forcing him to endure the mortal cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death. His time is short; make him smile at you with fatherly love once more.
Task Difficulty: Supreme.]
Jiang Wan wrinkled her nose. This task, to be completed in five hundred years, was indeed supreme—super invincibly hard.
But how could she meet her father?
Just as she pondered, a figure suddenly descended from the sky—face as refined as jade, warm and handsome, crowned with a golden circlet, flowing black hair like a waterfall, and a golden, mysterious talisman-engraved robe radiating majestic authority.
Ah, like the saying “When Cao Cao arrives, all must bow”—this was her own father, the Sect Leader of Wanfu Sect.
Forget the system’s description, the system is unbeatable.
“Daddy, did you come to save Wanwan?
Wuwu, Wanwan’s so scared!”
Leng Feng, surprised to see his long-lost daughter here, caught her in his arms as she toddled toward him, crying.
“Wanwan, don’t be afraid. Tell me, how did you end up here?”
Wanwan didn’t hesitate to snitch on Madam Li.
“She, my wet nurse, said I hurt Yao Yao and then dragged me here and threw me down. Luckily, a big turtle saved me, or I would have died from the fall!
I just found my real parents—I don’t want to die!”
Leng Feng held his recovered daughter tenderly, his eyes darkening with concern.
“Was it really Madam Li who did this?
How dare she! Come, I’ll take you back and punish her severely.”
Jiang Wan wrapped her slender arms around her father’s arm, afraid of falling.
“Good, Daddy’s so good!”
Leng Feng smiled affectionately at his daughter.
Seeing she had started drawing Qi into her body made him laugh with joy.
“Hahaha, my Wanwan is amazing, drawing Qi already—she’s a little cultivator at the Qi Condensation stage! I’m so proud. Let’s go up now.”
[Notification: By moving your aging father—once filled with resentment and almost wishing to kill you—to smile upon you with fatherly love, you must have spared no effort and touched the heavens with filial piety. Task complete.
Task Reward: Fate Viewing Technique.]
Jiang Wan felt a clear brightness in her eyes. Looking up at her father’s head, she saw a small cluster of blue Qi, like a tiny flame.
Everyone’s fate aura is ranked: White (1), Red (2), Yellow (3), Green (4), Cyan (5), Blue (6), Purple (7). The higher the rank, the stronger the fate.

Her father’s fate was just below purple—still very strong.
Leng Feng was about to take Wanwan upstairs when a thought struck him, and his divine sense spread throughout the valley below.
Strangely, there was only the corpse of the sect’s guardian divine beast—no trace of the Dao Sword Intent.
He knew the guardian beast was about to undergo ascension, but he never imagined that Wanwan was here as well.
“Wanwan, have you seen anyone else here?”
Jiang Wan shook her head, her two little pigtails loosening further.
“Wanwan hasn’t seen anyone else!”
Curious, Leng Feng wondered why the powerful Dao Sword Intent he sensed earlier had no trace here.
Lost in thought, he carried his daughter up the mountain just as a report came in.
“The Sword Sect’s Sect Leader has arrived, bringing their young master to congratulate you on recovering your true bloodline.”
Upon hearing this, Leng Feng nodded. It seemed the Sword Sect was behind this. He wondered when such a genius had emerged there.
“Let’s go meet the Sword Sect’s Sect Leader.”
He said this, holding his little daughter, and set off.
Jiang Wan, newly granted the Fate Viewing Technique, curiously watched the reporting disciple.
Above that disciple’s head was a green fate aura, fresh and elegant—a rank 4!
Why was her father bringing her along? Was he going to introduce her as well?
Her handsome father whispered softly to her:
“Wanwan, be good. Daddy will take you to meet the guest first. I’ll have Jing He bring your wet nurse to Reflection Cliff. After the meeting, we’ll have a proper talk with her, okay?”
Jiang Wan thought: My father is really protective!
“Alright, let the wet nurse think things over at Reflection Cliff first!”
“Hahaha, my Wanwan is truly adorable.”
Her two tiny pigtails were completely tousled by him. She now looked like a little wild child.
She pouted her lips in a pitiful, helpless baby voice:
“Daddy, Wanwan’s hair is all messy. How can I meet guests like this?!”
Leng Feng looked around at his daughter and found her very cute. He reached out and smoothed her hair, restoring her pigtails to their neat style.
Jiang Wan touched her head in surprise. It was really fixed—cultivation was truly amazing.
[Host, you have become the world’s most reviled great villain. The Sword Sect’s senior disciple, Dong Chen, the Sword Venerable, has forged a Demon-Slaying Sword specifically to kill you.
Defeat him and spare his life to prove you are not a mindless demon.
Task Difficulty: Moderate.
Task Reward: Innate Sword Embryo!]
