  The Heavenly Venerable of the Seven Paths of Heaven.

  One of Bing Xue’s enemies from the past and one of the mightiest Venerables of Murim before her Assion.

  A formidable, ing, and malian with no morality or any sort of shame, he raved monster, perhaps the worst amongst all those men corrupted by power in Murim.

  And iingly enough, Bing Xue had discovered he was simir to her.

  He was a Reinated Soul.

  Instead of her ing directly to Murim with her own body, though, he was a Soul that was Reinated in this world, appearing several years in Murim before her.

  And unlike her, he was granted a “cheat”.

  His Reination was abnormal too, and it could even be said it was more like Transmigration.

  His Soul had been pced ihe body of a retly deceased Young Master of a Small Sect within the Desote Mountains; a region known for its ruthlessness amongst all of Murim.

  In there, he had been granted a crippled, weak body and was deemed a failure due to his terrible talent for cultivation and was shunned by his entire sect as well.

  But all of this did not matter; although he struggled at the beginning, his powerful “cheat” allowed this man to climb to the top at lightning speed.

  In only a year, he became an Immortal, and in three more years, he asded into a Primordial.

  In just seven years since his Transmigration, he had already bee a Venerable!

  And this cheat…

  This power that allowed this man to climb to the top so easily was…

  The Fate Dev Vilin System.

  A System simir to the one spread through the Tower ah, but at the same time, pletely different. It ersonal System grao him miraculously; he ruly asked where it came from, and he never wondered why he had it.

  He took it franted, a privilege of simply being Transmigrated, after being someone who, in his previous life, was someone who had never developed a social life, and closed himself inside his room, reading novels with these same premises over and ain.

  It seemed as if this obsession had bee some sort of insanity, to the point that he didn’t eveion what this power was or anything of the sort.

  He accepted what happeo him and happily used this power to do as he pleased!

  He fulfilled all his fantasies using it, stealing the Fate of every person barely lucky enough to be a good target and even receiving many rewards and resources by itting all sorts of vilinous acts.

  He ruihe lives of tless “Fate’s Chosen”, stealing their Fate and then killing them, not before humiliating them for daring to be better than him.

  With the Fates he stole, he gairemendous new powers and great ces and fortune every time, growing stronger as he walked the path of an unhinged demon, a terror in the Martial Cultivation World.

  He took what he wanted: riches, territories, treasures, resources, power, and women, especially women. He was obsessed with women and al and sexual activities; he was a man driven and trolled by his endless lust.

  Causing chaos every time he stole the princesses e kingdoms or empires, stealing the wives of important immortal sect leaders, and whenever he found a pretty woman, he would forcefully abduct them and do whatever he wao them.

  To him, Murim was his pying field, and the world was his!

  Eventually, after dev the Immortal Souls of hundreds of Immortals and Primordials, his own Assion was eventual.

  Because his Immortal Physique, Psyche, and Aura being a bination of so many other different powers, it glowed with a rainbow color, showing seveiful paths, rivers of colorful essence.

  So, despite his horrendous personality, terrible acts, and monstrous legacy, he was given a fancy title due to this appearance, a title he forced others to use to refer to him.

  Instead of the “Lustful Demonierable of Depravity” that the Orthodox Fas called him, he was given aitle by the rest of the world.

  The Heavenly Venerable of the Seven Paths of Heaven.

  Or as his mysterious system called him, Murim’s Destined Vilin.

  In a way, his System had indeed done what it desired, turning him into one of Murim’s greatest vilins know to all.

  Eveher Demonic Cultivators utterly hated him because of how far he went!

  Bing Xue fell into sileer hearing his voice; without a doubt, it was him.

  The Heavenly Will was behind this; she was sure of it.

  “That crack behind him… Those must be gates that lead to Murim.” She thought, calming down almost instantly after her initial panic. “So he has somehow revived and e through that portal to Earth, with… how many Immortals and Primordials are those? Perhaps a hundred? Hmm.”

  “I’ve even brought you a surprise party, all from Murim! Rejoice, my dear white jade! The Demonic Sects you suppressed, my thousands of heirs, all of them have been waiting for this moment, you know?! You shouldn’t have stupidly left them alive!”

  Fang Gu Lan ughed out loud. The gigantic floating Pagodas, which were Divine Martial Houses created by stag several Formations together, moved through the skies, charging rge quantities of Immortal Ki within their gigantic golden s, pointing their attacks at Bing Xue’s own Pagoda.

  And then, dozens of powerful sers reached her and her floating building, aiming to destroy everything.

  “Hmph.”

  Bing Xue didn’t even flinch. Harnessing her powers and waving her hand casually, a massive wave of Void and Photon Essence maed, sshing through the beams and them pletely destroying them before they could hit her building.

  BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

  “If that’s everything yoing to do, then this has bee a rather me party, Fang Gu Lan,” said Bing Xue. “I would love to know why you’re here, though. Don’t tell me… Perhaps not eveh wao embrace yly self?”

  Fang Gu La Bing Xue with a slightly dumbfounded face; he was sure she wasn’t as strong as she is now back thehey fought to the death. He looked irritated afterwards but then forced a fident smile.

  “Hah, of course, I’ve been told you became a Venerable that surpassed all Venerables… So you achieved the Realm, something that I was never able to achieve no matter how hard I worked…” he muttered. “Your strength is indeed phenomenal, Bing Xue. I suppose my army is close to nothing before you?”

  “Yeah, less than ants,” Bing Xue said nontly. “So you either e at me directly or this will end very quickly.”

  “Y-You…” He was growing even more irritated; for someone who lived hundreds of years, he still had close to zero patience when it came to women daring to speak ba. “Power or not, you’re still just a filthy bitch… With the new powers I’ve gained, I’ll make sure to beat you into a pulp and use your body for as long as I want! I’ll make you mine!”

  “Disgusting… I would rather die.” Bing Xue sighed. “Why don't you walk back where you came from? You’re such a waste of oxygen."

  “ENOUGH!”

  He was so bad at taking some trash talk that he instantly lost all patience, his Aura exploding into seven rivers of colorful auras, rushing towards Bing Xue at once.

  “That’s your Immortal I, huh? Yeah, did you receive some free upgrades from the Heavenly Will when he revived you? Hah, Fang Gu Lan, always relying on other external forces and ces to help yress. Never doing anything on your own is truly pathetic. Probably the most patheti I’ve ever met in all my eleven thousand years of life.”

  As Bing Xue spoke calmly, she pushed her hand feing a gigantic golden palm that cshed against all Seven Paths that were maing within Fan Gu Lan’s Venerable I.

  CRAAASH!

  RUMBLE!

  The skies and the ground below trembled; ripples in the fabric of space began to spread rapidly everywhere the two immensely powerful energies cshed.

  Indeed, Fan Gu Lan had received a substantial boost to his powers… The stro foe she has fought so far, the Primal Spider Goddess, couldn’t pare in terms of Aura.

  This was ihe refined and powerful ford i of someone from the Murim World, a Venerable no less!

  “Bing Xue! What’s going on?!” Urbosa called her.

  “Is this a war? Out of nowhere?” Merkite asked.

  “Mama…!” Orion cried. “Are these bad people?”

  “They aren’t good! That man said weird things about Mama... I don’t like him o!” Athena said angrily.

  Bing Xue g her family right behind her, feeling a bit sorry that they had to see this mohe embodiment of her terrible past and of the horrible world to which she had been fined for so long.

  “Yes, he is indeed a bad man…” Bing Xue said.

  Murim, that accursed world of bloodshed and suffering, where she struggled for thousands of years befetting anywhere.

  It was a world so hostile to everything that she still sometimes ot believe she was able to survive until her power level.

  And it was a world she waet already, people he didn’t want to remember anymore, and mohat remained as traumas that she didn’t want to ever recall ever again.

  Yet here they were. Murim itself came after her; it didn’t let her rest; it didn’t eve her have a proper vacatioher!

  “It’s the damned, accursed world to which I was fined all these years,” she said. “After esg from it, it has now e bae. that man and his people are from Murim.”

  “M-Murim?!” Mursha asked. “But wasn’t that world… so far away?”

  “You said you had to cross a literal bck hole to get here,” said her sister.

  “I know, I am not even sure how this is even happening,” Bing Xue said. “But we don’t have the time to sit down and figure it out either… That man’s name is Fang Gu Lan, a Venerable, a monster I otled and killed. He has been… revived. And he has e after me, as ridiculous as that sounds.”

  “A Venerable, like you?” wondered her mother. “How strong is that man?”

  “Based orength he had before, he would be much weaker than me,” said Bing Xue. “But it feels like he has bee stronger; he’s actually beginning to push back my own I slightly… I might have to go serious and all-out against him like I did when I handled Orion from the future and his tantrum.”

  “But that’s…!” Mursha muttered.

  “Yeah, it’ll be a massive battle,” Bing Xue said. “Ohat could destroy the p if I’m not careful. Hence, I’ll lure him to follow me… the rest. I have two options: you either leave them to me and I take them down, but I’ll siderably slow down my time, making it possible for him to deal more damage to the p, or… you take them on. However, this is not something I want to force you to-”

  “We’ll do it!” Urbosa said. “Of course we will, Bing Xue. What are you even talking about?”

  “We’ve been growing stronger and cultivating this eime,” said Merkite. “Also leveling up a lot as well! Our Skills and Abilities have improved a lht?”

  “You said we were already strong enough to face even some of the mighty immortals of Murim,” Mursha crossed her arms. “Isn’t that right?”

  “Yeah, yeah!” Kana jumped around, raising her little arms.

  “I also want to help and fight!” Fiery Hair said. “Will protect family and home!”

  “Yeah, like mom said!” Rainbow Eyes agreed.

  “My daughter…”

  “Sister!”

  Her mother and her sister g Bing Xue’s eyes.

  All of this time they spent training and cultivating with the most effit methods…

  “Master! I humbly ask you to leave it to us.” Nichos bowed.

  “Let us prove you we’ve grown strong enough.” Jackes said.

  “All of the power we’ve cultivated to protect the p… our home.” John smiled, nodding.

  “Finally some bastards to try out our rength!” smiled Aiyana. “Bing Xue! Don’t you dare tell me now that I ’t try it out, right? It’s the perfect ce!”

  “I agree with her, master,” Francisco said. “We’ll be careful too.”

  “I’m going too! With Anubis!” said Hekita. “Merh’s joining in, right?”

  “But of course! There’s nothing you could ever say to stop me, Bing Xue,” said Merh. “I’ve grown strooo; my bond with Ra has strengthehrough this cultivation thingy. And there’s a debt I must repay for all you’ve done for me.”

  “If Hekita is going, the me join,” said Sara.

  “I have mastered my power thanks to you, so I owe you as much,” said Heba, crossing her arms.

  Bing Xue’s eyes widened slightly; through all of them, she remembered her ow in Murim.

  The many reliable seniors and juniors who she helped grow struiding them towards the path of the new future, a future of pead prosperity.

  Now it was her home phat was being threatened by the demons of her past…

  And she wasn’t aloher.

  “Very well,” she didn’t eveate. “However, I’ll divide you all; there’s other pces that need our assistance right now. As the Heavenly Court whose purpose is proteg Earth, we mustn’t just prioritize personal battles.”

  Bing Xue could feel it; all the way in Washington, DC, a huge war was breaking out, and even ba New York, mysterious invading forces were rapidly approag.

  Everyone nodded, agreeing to whatever her ideas were; they trusted her without any doubt.

  “Then I will move you where you’re he most. I’ll apany you, of course, through Doppelgangers. Go.”

  FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

  As several of her disciples and family members disappeared oer ahrough bright fshes of golden light, Bing Xue’s Venerable I began to gain ripples, forcefully pushed back as she noticed Fang Gu Lan’s iransformed.

  “{Seven Heavenly Paths}: {Seven-Headed Heavenly Dragon Roar}”

  With a fident smirk, Fang Gu Lan took the opportunity, attag Bing Xue with everything he had.

  “ROOOAAARRR!”

  The Seven Paths, the maion of his Venerable I, transformed into seven long, serpentine ese dragons of each color, r mightily and pushing Bing Xue and her Pagoda back.

  RUMBLE!

  “Bing Xue, my dear white jade… Is it my idea, or have you bee rusty?” He ughed out loud.

  “I should be asking the same question to you.”

  “Huh?!”

  Out of nowhere, Fang Gu Lan screamed as she noticed Bing Xue right in front of him.

  “When did she get here?! She moved so fast that I-”

  BAAAM!

  Interrupting his train of thoughts, Bing Xue infused all her power into her fists, pung the man’s fad breaking his nose, shattering through all his hundreds of yers of defensive barriers.

  “Uuuaagh?!”

  CRAAASH!

  Fang Gu Lan hopelessly crashed into a nearby Pagoda, destroying it by breaking it in half and making the ehing colpse, falling into the deserted wastends beh.

  BOOOM!
