Chapter 15: Debating On Destiny
"You, young man, turned out to be one of those anomalies whose fate has been messed up by the heavenly will. There are no ’buts’ to assert here," The Sect Master said, cracking a smile that didn’t seem very sincere!
"Hehe, don’t wet your breeches now. It’s not all that bad. As cultivators, we always shall be a bit of an eyesore of the heavens. After all, we are the newer generations competing for their power.
"So being a victim of their unfair laws isn’t all that uncommon among cultivators. However..."
The old man paused as a dark glint appeared in his eyes. Han Xuhan felt a chill down his spine as if death itself was right around the corner. He could already make a few guesses as to where this conversation was heading.
"Existences like you are very unstable factors to have around. Anyone with sufficient knowledge of the cultivation world knows that the reincarnated selves of mighty cultivators from older times are always discriminated against by the heavenly laws.
"The stronger they were, the greater the adversities they shall face. Many don’t even survive childhood!
"They are the harbingers of apocalypse and destruction. Even if they manage to awaken the memories of their past life and get stronger, they often start bloodbaths and challenge the heavens, blinded by their vengeance and driven almost crazy due to how twisted the heavens have made their fates to be.
"This is also another form of punishment by the heavens on mortals and immortals alike, whether we ultimately challenge heavenly laws or not, simply because we dare to cultivate!"
Han Xuhan listened up until then without interrupting. But now, he couldn’t just stay silent. He was being labelled as a troublemaker without even committing a wrong.
