1394 Chapter 1388: CKC, Loosely Tied

"What a coincidence," Wei Wuyin mused. Atop his container, a familiar figure was in a horrid state, their body torn asunder, lacking their right arm and half their left, with a mangled pair of legs with horrifying claw streaks slicing deeply into their left, leaving behind bone-deep gashes. Their face was swollen with blood, especially their lips, reddish and on the verge of bursting. It resembled a strangled pig's. As for their clothing, their robes were ripped in many locations and revealed portions of their undergarments. It was pink in color and quite sensual in design.

At the sides of their mouth were frothy bubbles of flowing blood, a sign that their innate energies had gone incredibly wild just earlier. The fact they could even fly was applause-worthy given their state. At the moment, they were barely holding onto their consciousness.

Wei Wuyin lowered his head to find Wen Mingna returning his gaze. "You?" Wei Wuyin thoughtfully asked. However, he received a head shake in reply, causing him to feel increasingly curious. Instinctively, he looked at his right arm, which Wen Mingna noticed but didn't comment on.

He repeated strangely, "What a coincidence." As those words left his lips, multiple Spiritual Senses from afar swept the area, immediately locating the figure atop the container. Suddenly, bursts of light erupted from the distance, transforming into comets of radiance that were soaring across the sky. They were extremely fast, likely arriving within a mortal's breath or two.

Wei Wuyin once again lifted his gaze. Almost a full month ago, he had casually swept his Celestial Gaze across the world to test the restrictive powers of the cubical, and what he could and couldn't see. During that time, he had exerted far greater Spiritual Strength than necessary, and it had been noticed by a few people. This included Wen Mingna and a few Ascendants.

However, there was a female Chosen who had nearly carelessly entered the Imperial Prince's formations, on the verge of entering and losing her right to decide her life or death. While Wei Wuyin had overly exerted his Celestial Eyes, she had caught a whiff of his spying and hurriedly called out to him in question. This inadvertently made Wei Wuyin feel a wisp of interest as the female Chosen had a shockingly high aptitude for cultivation with nine runes and the aura of a World Rune without the slightest aura of being a Blessed.

Out of idle interest, Wei Wuyin had decided to give this female Chosen a warning. Her decisiveness allowed her to escape a deadly crisis as she listened to his one-word advice. Once again, Wei Wuyin felt a surge of praise from his heart at how she reacted.

Since then, the female Chosen had been embroiled in the hectic commotion and deadly environment that was the Evercrown Ceremony. She discovered a fragment and fought ferociously to keep it, succeeding. Unfortunately, the fragment was heavily contested and she had lost and reclaimed it a few times in various epic clashes.

Eventually, the fragment ended up in the hands of a Celestial Race's Chosen group led by an Earthly Saint. Still, her valiant display was quite impressive and she showcased quite a high level of battle awareness and strength while being relatively young. She was a pure-blooded human and her cultivation base was at the Soul of Mysticism Phase, the Second Stage of the Mystic Ascendant Realm. With her foundation and age of fewer than three hundred years old, she was a genius.

Unfortunately, she was a little hasty in her cultivation like the others in these vast lands. The majority of the World Beyond Chosen currently here were those who sought the fastest and strongest cultivation beneath five hundred. While this had its advantages, it also had its disadvantages toward your future if you're unable to fortify your foundation post-breakthrough.

They were entirely different from the Ascendants or true Chosen from the World Beyond who have been forged intensely with premium products, high-level lineages, blessed realms, and cultivation grounds, with readily available teachings from those far beyond their cultivation base and experiencing constant tempering in competition against their peers. Each Ascendant also had suitable weapons and elevated talents thanks to these products. None of them were taking the path of swiftly obtained power but carefully accumulated power lest they fall behind considerably in the long term.

Not all Ascendants followed this method, however. Throughout the years, many Ascendants had lost their qualifications due to the haste stemming from various reasons. They sought strength at the earliest and tried to make continuous breakthroughs, often succeeding, but then ultimately failed after examinations to remain in the Ascendants came around, unable to maintain the minimum standard for their cultivation level.

These Ascendants were no longer Ascendants who stayed in the main corp but were relegated to subordinates or sent out on missions to complete. Most of them took positions assisting the regulation of the Neo-Dawn Starfield's policies or businesses.

"Guh..." A spurt of blood, saliva, and frothy bubbles slide across the roof of the cubical container from the female Chosen's mouth.

"..." Wei Wuyin contemplated as he thoughtfully looked at the swollen face and lips of the female Chosen. He felt a tug on his sleeve from Wen Mingna, bringing his attention away. He discovered that Wen Mingna's eyes were faintly golden, exuding brilliance that could see through fate and its profound connections.

"You have loosely tied karma with her," Wen Mingna said. This didn't take Wei Wuyin by surprise at all, as this was largely what he had been assuming due to this great coincidence. He was an Exploitative Blessed with outstanding Karmic Luck Value, totaling 195,753.1, and this could inadvertently bring great fortune or even misfortune to certain individuals.

When Wen Mingna said 'loosely', this meant their Karmic Fates had yet to be tethered together. For example, each Prime Ascendant and lover of his was certainly bound together by his fate, and they had oftentimes gained from his expenditure of Karmic Luck, meaning the Heavenly Daos would keep its eyes out for them for opportunities or adversities they may encounter.

However, those who Wei Wuyin interacted with casually such as a clerk at a shop wouldn't have any karmic ties with him. Unless...

...he decided to offer advice. In which case, they would be 'loosely' connected, and depending on his intent, his Karmic Luck Value could work for them or against them.

Wei Wuyin pondered on the matter as the auras arrived, surrounding the container.

"What shall we do with her?" A sultry yet oddly cold voice resounded in the air. A vixen-like figure dressed in body-hugging robes that accentuated their slender waist, ample breasts, and long legs was accompanied by three others. They were two men and one woman, all human.

"And we found a container!" One of the men shouted excitedly, but there was a heap of thinly veiled killing intent within each syllable. He was missing a left hand and his left eye was bloody as if the vessels within had exploded. His aura was like a flame in the heavy wind, on the verge of being snuffed out and highly unstable.

All four of them had certain degrees of injuries. The sultry-voiced woman had her face deeply ruined by blade marks, and on the edge of these marks were pulsating wisps of power that suppressed any attempts at healing or reversing time. If she didn't handle this injury soon, it might be permanent.

Unfortunately, she, too, was like a flickering candle on its last light. All of their auras were chaotic and weak, but their cultivation bases were all profoundly high at the Soul of Mysticism Phase. Signs that each had exhausted themselves with self-harming methods were prevalent in them all.

Wei Wuyin knew that the female Chosen bleeding on his container had been embroiled in incessant battles, but not with these four. They seemed to be from a single organization as their auras had distinct similarities. They cultivated different derivatives of a single Cultivation Method, like the connection between Wu Yu, the Divine Emperor, and the 76th Noble Prince.

"Shall we kill her now?" One of the men suggested with labored breath, his words alluding to the potential of something else. They soon launched into a discussion on what to do with the female Chosen. The sultry-voiced vixen formed a few hand-seals and created shackles that captured the female Chosen's four limbs, sealing her powers and restraining any movement. She landed beside her.

"Killing her like this would be simply too easy!" She laughingly growled, a vile implication in her tone. Despite that, strangely enough, she found her desire to immediately kill this woman slowly lessening, fueling her desire to ravage her and let her experience the greatest degree of degradation and humiliation a woman could as payback for damaging her face.

Wen Mingna tugged on Wei Wuyin's sleeve again. She didn't speak, but Wei Wuyin could already feel that the exuding killing intent was lessening from each of the four as other sinister thoughts formed. They even avidly discussed what to do with the container and how best to get revenge.

Wei Wuyin, however, wanted to observe this a little. He wanted to actively see the Heavenly Daos influence others! "Pay attention," he strongly advised Wen Mingna, who instantly realized the situation and turned her gaze toward the four, observing every last detail of their conversation, from their mental fluctuations to their tones.

After over a minute of conversation, the killing intent suddenly began to rise as if on the verge of complete eruption. "She doesn't deserve any form of pleasure before her death!" The sultry-voiced, vixen-like woman's earlier words had only served to give birth to temporary imaginations, but she couldn't go through with it despite her seething hatred, so she casually gave an excuse as her killing intent flared and she lifted her palm, slamming it down on the female Chosen's head!

Her actions caused the other three to be taken aback, but they were too weak to stop it and hadn't expected the sudden assault.

"I see," Wen Mingna's eyes glowed as she caught a glimpse of the profound secrets of the Heavenly Daos. Wei Wuyin no longer decided to simply watch.

Snap!

He snapped his finger, and the four cultivators found themselves several hundred thousand miles away in a flash of silvery light. Meanwhile, the female Chosen was now in his container lying on the floor, her body exceedingly damaged, her breath incredibly shallow, and her life on the edge of its end.

Wei Wuyin observed her quietly.

"Shall I go?" Abruptly, Wen Mingna asked as her radiantly golden eyes began to dim.

"You want to participate now?" Wei Wuyin asked, his silver eyes not leaving the female Chosen's pig-like face.

"I've found something interesting earlier during my cultivation. I want to see if I can benefit from it," she answered honestly. Wen Mingna had only decided to not participate after Wei Wuyin revealed that he had a cultivation opportunity for her, but now she had already digested that opportunity, greatly reformed her Cultivation Method, and had incredibly great gains. She no longer needed to abstain. As for her seeking out a few details to validate earlier from Wei Wuyin, while she would never openly admit it, she knew it wasn't necessary since Wei Wuyin had only assisted her with his knowledge and understanding, and she'd have to forge her way little by little on her own.

Wei Wuyin turned his head, looking at Wen Mingna as his eyes revealed an emotional ripple of reluctance. When she noticed this emotion, her heart instantly warmed as she smiled.

"Alright. Just be careful," Wei Wuyin said.

Wen Mingna strongly nodded her head in assurance. Her smile grew a little brighter as she did. Wei Wuyin gently waved toward her, and she vanished in a flash of silvery light. The container was unable to halt the Minor Authority of Space's power in the slightest.

"What do I do with you?" Wei Wuyin looked toward the female Chosen from the World Beyond whom he had established a karmic tie. A breathy spurt of bloody weakness left her lips. This caused Wei Wuyin to heave a faint sigh.

"Hu...ghh...fo...yo..." The Female Chosen muttered something while going in and out of consciousness.

"Yue Songli is not going to like this," Wei Wuyin couldn't help but mockingly smile as he brought out a vial of Mystic-World graded elixir. It was one of the few other Mystic-World grade products that he concocted since the Neo-Dawn Eclipsing-World Pill.

The Life-Establishment Elixir-its name might seem incredibly simple, but its effects were anything but ordinary. It was a rejuvenation/enlightenment elixir that could rapidly establish and grant one another chance at life. It was from a recipe that his debonair self had picked up yet was unable to concoct himself, requiring not only a large quantity of unrefined lifeforce but comprehension towards time itself to concoct.

"Since I've decided to help you, I won't hold back." Wei Wuyin decided to prepare a few other products for the female Chosen's 'second life'.

-----

While Wei Wuyin made a decision, Wen Mingna found herself in a mountainous region. She formed a hand-seal and her body faintly glowed for a brief moment. She then revealed a grin. Wei Wuyin clearly understood her intent as she proceeded to walk through the region in a specific direction.

Not too far away, a woman with eyes like treasured rubies was discovering a cylindrical container with certain conditions.
