Book 2: Chapter 13: Decision
Vol 2 ch 13: Decision
“Could it be… because he is a Destiny Master, with a unique fate?”
For a moment, Yu Longqing seemed to have understood something important, but then shook his head, “No, that’s not right. If I remember correctly, this Lord Ling follows the fate teachings of Master Mo from the Zouyi Dynasty, which means his fate isn’t unique!”
While each person has only one fate, not every Destiny Master has to fight to the death. Only those who share the same fate and are in direct competition are driven to such extremes.
For instance, those who cultivate the Emotionless Sword Path must defeat every practitioner of the same path to reach the pinnacle and achieve transcendence. Similarly, a blacksmithing path requires eliminating anyone else on that path to achieve a true breakthrough.
This singularity of fate drives even disciples of the same sect—and sometimes even master and disciple—to become enemies.
There was once a powerful figure who achieved supreme strength by killing his parents, his wife and children, and even his own disciples—eliminating every tie he had.
Of course, this only occurs at higher levels, generally above the Seven-Star Fate Striving Realm. For ordinary Destiny Masters, however, it’s possible to cultivate together; at most, progress might be a little slower.
For instance, Ling Buyang cultivates the Machete Fate, possessing unparalleled talent with that weapon, and his master is Mo Baiye, the founder of the Machete Sect in the Zouyi Dynasty.
