Chapter 180: Am I Bai Ze? (2/2)

“Brother Ning, it has been half a year since the last meeting, and I have missed you greatly.” Song Luoyun clasped his fists and said. “I cannot see through your fate, but I heard from Miss that you directly advanced to Core Formation and reached the fifth level of Core Formation?”

“Truly a genius, what an incredible opportunity.”

Ning Wuxie smiled humbly and waved his hand. “Not at all, just a bit of luck.”

“There is no such thing as luck in this world. Everything is predetermined by the cosmic mechanisms of heaven and earth. Luck is merely fate.”

“Is that so? But I still believe that fate is determined by strength.” Ning Wuxie replied.

Song Luoyun raised an eyebrow, seemingly quite interested in this topic. “But strength also shares innate and acquired aspects, both manifest and hidden.”

“Royal clan offspring and the direct descendants of immortal sects have abundant resources. Is that not a form of strength? Handsome men and beautiful women, when faced with danger, can fight for their lives, and at critical moments, they can also earn a meal. Isn’t that a form of strength as well?”

“Strength is not just about how you cultivate to increase your spiritual power, Brother Ning. It also includes your background, constitution, luck, and so on.”

“So, what you said is also correct, Brother Ning. Strength is indeed determined by Fate, but this strength encompasses a broader range than you might think.”

Ning Wuxie was momentarily speechless; Song Luoyun was indeed not wrong.

The Chaotic Defeat Body and Heavenly Fragrance Charm Body were also forms of strength.

He understood this reasoning, but his understanding of strength differed from Song Luoyun’s.

After all, Song Luoyun studied the art of evolution, believing that all connections in the world have traces to follow and are predetermined.

In contrast, Ning Wuxie was a disciple of the Human Sect, having risen from the slums through cultivation, and would not resign himself to such a fate.

There was no point in getting entangled over this point, so he nodded and said, “What Brother Song said is right. I have learned a lot.”

Song Luoyun also understood and nodded, choosing not to elaborate further.

“Brother Ning, are you not curious about why I came to visit you this time?”

“Was just about to ask.”

“I heard that you were promoted by his Majesty to the position of Mo Clan’s Imperial Guard Captain?” Song Luoyun’s expression suddenly became extremely serious.

“Indeed.”

“This is truly an unprecedented event, Brother Ning. You have made history.”

“Do you know what the Mo Clan’s Imperial Guard generally does?”

“Not sure.” Ning Wuxie shook his head.

“The Mo Clan’s Guards is responsible for guarding the Imperial City.” Song Luoyun extended his index finger and pointed upward. Ning Wuxie looked up at the palace within the dragon skull.

“In a few days, you may have to go up there.” Song Luoyun said, “At that time, you will be even closer to the center of this Dynasty…”

Ning Wuxie nodded, observing Song Luoyun’s increasingly strange expression, as if he had something more to say but hesitated.

“Brother Song, is there something else you want to say?” he asked.

Song Luoyun glanced at him, his expression filled with confusion and conflict.

“It is like this. A few days ago, I habitually divined, and suddenly discovered a situation.”

“That is, as I mentioned before, the Divine Beast Bai Ze is about to descend upon Lanyuan, and the signs have become increasingly evident… it is almost certain to manifest!”

As Song Luoyun spoke, his own expression carried a hint of surprise.

“However, at that time, his Majesty was not in the Palace and had gone to Peach Blossom Mountain. There were no changes, which puzzled me.”

“Just now, I heard that you were chosen by his Majesty as the Mo Clan’s Imperial Guard Captain outside Peach Blossom Mountain…”

Song Luoyun fell silent, instead raising his head and staring intently at Ning Wuxie.

“Brother Ning, you wouldn’t…”

“You wouldn’t be the Divine Beast Bai Ze, would you?”
