Remould the Glory of Sword Art

Chi Lu Hall, where heavenly light cascades down, countless fiery glows enveloping the center, where the Chi Fu Dragon Lord sits cross-legged in suspension.

The [Great Calculation] has already begun.

Before the Chi Fu Dragon Lord, two items float.

One is the white paper ashes left by Cheng Er.

The other is the Intent of Destruction intentionally sent by Xie Xuanyi.

"Let me see... where you are hiding..."

The Chi Fu Dragon Lord chuckles softly, gathering his mind.

His Divine Thought first sweeps over the white paper ashes.

Sweeping, boundless Divine Thought, with both the [Stargate] and the Power of the Sky Vault acting simultaneously, the Chi Fu Dragon Lord sees gale wind and snow rushing past above the Lushui Cave Heaven. These tiny white paper ashes provide an extremely weak causal connection, allowing him to sense that the target of his divination is near the Grotto Heaven, which sufficiently proves that his choice to head south was not wrong. Cheng Er and Xuan Jin are not far off.

Next.

The most critical clue arrives.

That trace of Intent of Destruction...

The Chi Fu Dragon Lord takes a deep breath and concentrates his gaze.

When boundless Divine Thought falls, that trace of Intent of Destruction suddenly begins to surge. This Intent is an ownerless thing, but the [Sky Vault Divination] forcibly follows the causality to find the person related to this Intent.

The environment around Chi Lu Hall transforms suddenly.

No longer enveloped by heavenly light, it turns an entire shade darker.

"What’s happening?"

Even the Chi Fu Dragon Lord did not expect.

Divining this trace of Intent of Destruction would stir such a significant commotion.

He seems to be drawn into a completely alien world of the Divine Soul, surrounded by a great fog of chaos.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

That ownerless trace of Intent of Destruction thrashes violently like a swimming fish, as if it wishes to escape from the Chi Fu Dragon Lord’s palm.

"Laughable."

The Chi Fu Dragon Lord’s gaze turns cold; he squeezes his palm tightly.

Just a trace of Intent.

Does it aim to evade his grasp?

What distinct character is he? Having activated the [Stargate] for the Great Calculation, he must, by all means, observe the causal track of this Intent.

"I truly wish to see the direction of this Intent."

The Chi Fu Dragon Lord pushes his Divine Thought with all his might.

In an instant.

The chaos is dispersed by a strong wind.

In dim light, vaguely a figure appears, fleeting and vanishing. Even though the Chi Fu Dragon Lord is wholly focused, he does not manage to clearly see, but he certainly captures a trace of "Xuan Jin," and as he speculated, it is the Path of Destruction within the Li Lan Mountain’s Daoist Collection. Although unclear what intentions Cheng Er harbors, his "precious apprentice" has ultimately gained a Creation of Intent of Destruction within Li Lan Mountain.

"Why do I feel... that the owner of this Intent of Destruction is more than one person?"

The Chi Fu Dragon Lord furrows his brow.

From the chaotic fog, capturing Xuan Jin’s causal traces, this [Great Calculation] can be considered a success. Just spending a few more hours, he should manage to rely on these two tokens to pinpoint Cheng Er’s whereabouts.

However.

At this moment, a thought arises, and the Chi Fu Dragon Lord cannot suppress his curiosity, rising and "walking" toward the direction of the fog.

Here is the divination world constructed by the power of the [Stargate].

He wishes to follow the fleeting causal trace from earlier and clearly understand the real owner of this trace of Intent of Destruction!

The Chi Fu Dragon Lord sensed earlier...

This Intent exudes an ancient aura exceedingly distant.

Concerning cultivation duration.

Although Lian Venerate is a figure from a century ago.

The time of existence of this trace of Intent seems even more ancient than Lian Venerate. Reflecting further, pushing back several years, neither Human nor Demon realms ever emerged a notably famous "Great Success of Intent of Destruction," this trace of Intent very likely was left by a Great Divine Power User from before the Great Tribulation.

"I shall see who you truly are."

The Chi Fu Dragon Lord narrows his eyes, continues the divination, forcefully tracing the origins.

Boundless Divine Thought forms into the River of Destiny...

He knows.

This action is unwise.

Yet the Chi Fu Dragon Lord still has a flashing thought; he suspects this trace of Intent may involve Xie Xuanyi. Although the likelihood is extremely low, after Xie Xuanyi battled fiercely with the Great Palace Master, his life and death remained uncertain, whereabouts unknown. In the off chance that this trace of Intent indeed is connected to the one named Xie, through forced divination, he might gain at least a rough idea of Xie Xuanyi’s position.

Thus achieving two wins in one act!

Rumble, rumble.

The winds and clouds reverse, causality shatters like tides. The Chi Fu Dragon Lord stands, with the towering Fish Dragon Dharma Aspect emerging behind him, this entire Chi Lu Hall transforms into a great ship within the River of Destiny. But as the tidal waves of time billow and expand rapidly, this ship grows increasingly small, ultimately shrinking to merely a dry leaf, appearing unsteadily close to collapsing.

"The causality origins of this ’Intent,’ indeed trace back a thousand years..."

The Chi Fu Dragon Lord’s gaze turns solemn.

Standing upon the River of Destiny, a sense of unease wells in his heart.

Logic tells him.

To stop pursuing further.

Xie Xuanyi is a unique existence, even the Great Palace Master failed to successfully complete divination upon him.

Yet observing the black trace of Intent is not far away, the Chi Fu Dragon Lord, in the end, makes an incorrect decision...

He steps forward.

"Splash."

The tide abruptly becomes exceptionally calm.

Within the River of Destiny, the chaos fog instantly dissipates.

He aspires to capture the fleeting black-clad figure.

This time.

That black-clad figure stands merely ten meters away, and the entire River of Destiny seems to freeze into an ice surface, the black-clad, black-haired, black-sword, young figure slowly halts his steps, turning his head, revealing half a face.

"..."

The Chi Fu Dragon Lord frowns.

He observes the fragmented and shattered Divine Thought image.

The owner of this trace of Intent of Destruction turns out to be so young, appearing only in his early twenties.
