Chapter 141: My Fate is Determined by Me, Not by Heaven

After listening to the explanation from Nanxuan Laozu, Zhang Nuo recalled everything that had happened to him previously; it really did have some similarities, but he did not believe too much in the theory of destiny.

At this moment, Zhuge An also slowly returned to Zhang Nuo's side. Feeling a bit embarrassed about his abrupt behavior just now, he smiled at him, though the forced smile looked no better than crying. Zhang Nuo did not mind and returned the smile.

"Just now, the Old Ancestor said that a great master from tens of thousands of years ago deduced that three cultivators with the 'Seven Killings, Army Breaker, Greedy Wolf' destiny would appear on the Tianjiang Plain. Who are the other two?"

Zhang Nuo was momentarily caught up in the excitement and forgot that the other party was a Nascent Soul Stage existence. He asked as if chatting with an ordinary person.

"Hehe! The Seven Killings, Army Breaker, Greedy Wolf destiny is not entirely good. Just as I said before, the main difference between this destiny and the Heavenly Fiend Lone Star is movement! Opportunities only appear for the Seven Killings, Army Breaker, Greedy Wolf when they are in motion; if grasped well, one can turn the world upside down. The Heavenly Fiend Lone Star is different; that kind of destiny is a natural-born death sentence! As for the other two, I have already guessed a few things!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhuge An and Zhang Nuo widened their eyes simultaneously; they both wanted to know who the other two people with the Seven Killings, Army Breaker, Greedy Wolf destiny were.

"If my estimation is correct, it should be Han Liang of the Wuji Sect and Gu Yu of the Corpse Refining Sect!"

Zhang Nuo truly did not expect that Nanxuan Laozu would speak the names of these two people. Although he had fought with Gu Yu in the Trial Ground, he did not understand the person at all. As for Han Liang, he was naturally valiant, and his body-refining techniques were superb, unmatched among his peers.

"Dare I ask the Old Ancestor, is Nangong Ao of the Beixuan Sect also..."

"The Seven Killings, Army Breaker, Greedy Wolf is fated, and it has nothing to do with cultivation! Look at me, I have already entered the Nascent Soul Stage; could it be that I also have the Seven Killings, Army Breaker, Greedy Wolf destiny? Hehe!"

Suddenly interrupting Zhang Nuo's words, Nanxuan Laozu explained carefully, and in the end, he even chuckled in an unprecedented manner. Zhuge An's heart stirred; this Old Ancestor had always been serious and rarely seen in high spirits, but today he was like this toward Zhang Nuo, which meant Zhang Nuo's status in his heart was not low.

"Old Ancestor, what exactly does this Seven Killings, Army Breaker, Greedy Wolf mean?"

Now that he knew who the other two might be, Zhang Nuo became concerned about the specific details.

"This is not hard to explain. Do you remember the 'Evil Qi' I mentioned on your body before?"

Zhang Nuo nodded; this time he did not dare to interrupt again and just listened quietly.

"The 'Evil Qi' on your body represents that you are the 'Seven Killings' of the Seven Killings, Army Breaker, Greedy Wolf destiny! Its meaning is: a thief who stirs up the world! Although I have not met Han Liang of the Wuji Sect, according to your descriptions, he should be the 'Army Breaker', meaning a general who traverses the world, and the final one, Gu Yu, is the 'Greedy Wolf', meaning a treacherous and cunning person! Once these three stars gather, a major event will surely happen in the world. Whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on yourselves!"

After Nanxuan Laozu explained the meanings of 'Seven Killings', 'Army Breaker', and 'Greedy Wolf', Zhang Nuo suddenly realized that there was so much to the Seven Killings, Army Breaker, Greedy Wolf destiny.

After a moment of thought, Zhang Nuo still felt it was quite interesting. Three seemingly ordinary people were suddenly linked together because of their respective destinies; it seemed there was a preordained fate in the dark!

"You should stay in the Nanxuan Sect from now on! If you have any needs regarding cultivation, just ask! I will do my best to help you!"

Zhang Nuo did not think much of these words, but Zhuge An's eyes flashed with strange colors. Since the day he met Nanxuan Laozu, the Old Ancestor had never said such things to him. It seemed that this Double Spirit Sea kid brought back by his daughter was actually an extraordinary figure!

"You go out first! I have some words for him!"

Pointing at Zhang Nuo, the old man said extremely calmly. Although he knew Nanxuan Laozu valued him highly, he did not dare to be presumptuous and immediately exited the room. Walking along the way, he was still pondering the matter of the 'Seven Killings, Army Breaker, Greedy Wolf' destiny.

"Sigh! Now the three destinies of the 'Seven Killings, Army Breaker, Greedy Wolf' have all gathered. The major event predicted by that great master tens of thousands of years ago is about to happen!"

Now only Nanxuan Laozu and Zhuge An remained in the room, and the old man sighed with deep meaning.

"Old Ancestor, what major event?"

Seeing a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator feeling a great headache over the gathering of the Seven Killings, Army Breaker, Greedy Wolf, Zhuge An could not imagine what kind of major event it was.

"As for what major event, I do not know either! Even the person who made the deduction back then could not know! It seems this matter involves too much heavenly secret and is simply not something people like you and me can guess! However, since a cultivator with the 'Seven Killings, Army Breaker, Greedy Wolf' destiny has appeared in my Nanxuan Sect, perhaps it is Heaven's favor toward us! I hope he can protect my Nanxuan Sect!"

Nanxuan Laozu looked worried. Zhuge An's heart churned, and he did not know why, but he could not calm down. After hearing the Old Ancestor's words, he always felt as if something very big was about to happen. But then he thought again, it might just be his own psychological effect.

Before he knew Zhang Nuo had the Seven Killings, Army Breaker, Greedy Wolf destiny, he had never felt that this youth had anything special about him other than being a Double Spirit Sea cultivator. Ever since he heard Nanxuan Laozu's words, he had not been able to settle down.

"Alright, you go back too! Regarding the 'Seven Killings, Army Breaker, Greedy Wolf' matter, do not tell others for now; after all, this is just a deduction, and it would be bad if it caused panic within the sect! However, you must satisfy all of Zhang Nuo's requests. After all, even if this person did not have the Seven Killings, Army Breaker, Greedy Wolf destiny, his room for growth is very large. My lifespan is not long, and once I pass away, perhaps he can become the second Nanxuan Laozu of the Nanxuan Sect!"

These resonant words immediately made Zhuge An understand Zhang Nuo's status in Nanxuan Laozu's heart, and he immediately exited the room while repeatedly agreeing!

In the vast room, only Nanxuan Laozu remained. With his brows slightly furrowed, he suddenly flicked his sleeves, and three palm-sized white discs flew out. These three discs emitted a pure white light throughout, like the full moon in the sky.

The surfaces of the discs were engraved with various Fowen, and as they rotated, they emitted waves of not-weak spiritual light. Looking down at the three discs in front of him, Nanxuan Laozu opened his mouth and sprayed a mouthful of essence blood onto them.

Immediately, the white light of the three discs flourished, and humming sounds rose one after another. Following a soft shout from the old man, several incantations were cast from his hands and merged into the discs. The next moment, a bizarre scene appeared.

The three discs flashed rapidly in the room and suddenly stopped in the very center. Immediately, three milky-white light beams shot out from the surfaces of the discs, intertwining in the blink of an eye. The three light beams twisted and changed together, finally transforming into a screen of light!

And on the light screen, many images appeared vaguely! Upon seeing this, Nanxuan Laozu was overjoyed and watched the images in the light screen intently, but these images were too faint to be seen clearly; they were like reality and illusion, ethereal and uncertain!

Just as the old man poured all his focus onto the images in the white light screen, the white light screen suddenly flashed violently and instantly collapsed. At the same time, the three discs that emitted the milky-white light beams shattered with a 'pop' sound.

In the blink of an eye, everything in the room returned to calm.

"Sigh!"

A long, helpless, and lingering sigh came from Nanxuan Laozu's mouth!

"Now the Seven Killings, Army Breaker, Greedy Wolf have gathered! Why is it still impossible to deduce what major event will happen? Could it be that this matter involves too much heavenly secret for me to pry into?"

The old man's expression was uncertain, and he muttered to himself while sighing.

At this time! Zhuge An had already brought Zhang Nuo out of Nanxuan Laozu's location. This time, he did not take Zhang Nuo to ride an escape light but walked on the road with him.

Ever since he had the Old Ancestor's instructions, Zhuge An's attitude toward Zhang Nuo was clearly different; along the way, he actually said some words of concern.

Although Zhang Nuo did not know what Nanxuan Laozu had said to Zhuge An after he left the room, it was not hard to see from his behavior that the Old Ancestor had not spoken ill of him.

"Sect Master, you are not afraid that I have the Seven Killings, Army Breaker, Greedy Wolf destiny anymore!"

Now that he had a bottom line in his heart, Zhang Nuo naturally was not so reserved!

"This..."

Zhuge An's face stiffened, and he said embarrassedly:

"I didn't know there was so much to the Seven Killings, Army Breaker, Greedy Wolf destiny before. Look, a moment of misunderstanding made me look petty! But I wasn't just worried about my own safety; there are hundreds of people in the entire Nanxuan Sect! How could you expect me not to worry!"

As if deliberately finding a way out for himself, Zhuge An brought up everyone in the sect.

"Please rest assured, Sect Master! I will not harm the Nanxuan Sect! Didn't the Old Ancestor just say that for people with the Seven Killings, Army Breaker, Greedy Wolf destiny, opportunities are grasped by oneself? My fate is determined by me, not by Heaven!"

As if expressing his determination to Zhuge An, Zhang Nuo suddenly stopped and said with a serious face.

"That is for the best! By the way, if you need anything in the future, just let me know! I will try my best to help you!"

Seeing that although Zhang Nuo was protected by the Old Ancestor, he still respected him as the Sect Master, Zhuge An felt somewhat relieved. He then spoke with polite pleasantries.

After thanking Zhuge An, Zhang Nuo walked straight toward his residence. Watching the youth's receding figure, Zhuge An sighed with emotion! It was fortunate that his daughter had brought him back from the Trial Ground; if he had fallen into the hands of other sects, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Thinking of his daughter, Zhuge An's eyes immediately lit up, and he transformed into a streak of light, flying toward his residence. He wanted to tell his daughter about what happened today and see what her insights were! With Zhuge Qing's clever mind, she should know how to better keep Zhang Nuo in the sect and make him willing to contribute to the sect when major events occur.
