Chapter 924 Reflexivity
I had found several letters in Li Fang's storage bag before, and they contained the name Li Huaiyou. I never expected to hear it here again.
However, when I was in Jianghuai Heaven, this person seemed to be just an early Nascent Soul cultivator, and a mediocre five-aperture Nascent Soul at that. I never imagined that after several hundred years, he would have already attained the Divine Realm? This person's cultivation speed is indeed extremely fast.
"So, you two are here on Li Huaiyou's orders to wait for their ascension? Why?" Although Yun Xuance and Yang Dingfeng are among the top cultivators in the Immortal Continent, they are still a step behind Lu Yingzhao, Jing Yu, Ye Xingyun, Guan Lingxiao and others. The Immortal Continent is full of outstanding talents in this era, so they are not particularly conspicuous among them.
As for cultivation level, the two are only at the late stage of Nascent Soul, which is at the bottom among the ascended cultivators in the Immortal Continent. Why would they pay so much attention to two Nascent Soul cultivators when they don't care about Xiao Buyi and other Mahayana cultivators?
Zhao Shisan said blankly, "Mr. Li didn't say it explicitly, but only that if these two were allowed to go unchecked, they would pose a great threat to the Immortal Dynasty in the future... Since Mr. Li became a staff member of the Prince's Palace, he has always been resourceful and anticipates the enemy's moves... He has made many contributions to the Prince's Palace, and His Highness Prince Xian listens to him without question."
"Since Mr. Li has given the order to send two cultivators from the Cave Heaven to guard this place for ten or a hundred years, Your Highness will naturally agree."
"A reborn person?" Jing Yu frowned.
“That’s not it.” Zhao Shisi shook his head: “His Highness Prince Xian also had this suspicion, so he asked the ancestor of the imperial family to examine him personally. Mr. Li showed no signs of demonic possession. He should simply have the ability to divine.”
Jing Yu scoffed at this. He was a master in divination, and in recent years, with the help of the causal line and the way of destiny, his divination ability had reached a level of unfathomable mystery.
Even now, he cannot accurately calculate the approximate time and precise location of each deceased friend's ascension.
Not to mention that Li Huaiyou had absolutely no connection with Yun Xuance or Yang Dingfeng, making divination even more difficult!
As for whether a stranger might pose a threat to me in the future, that's impossible to predict.
The highest realm a cultivator in the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty can reach is the Celestial Immortal realm. According to Jing Yu's conjecture, the mastermind behind stirring up inner demons and delusions to mass-produce "reborn individuals" is undoubtedly a Dao Venerable level figure. If this Dao Venerable exists and "pays special attention" to a few of the reborn individuals, what can a few mere Celestial Immortals find out?
“If this Li Huaiyou is a reincarnated person, then it makes sense…and he is not an ordinary reincarnated person.”
The vast majority of reborn individuals are implanted with a false set of memories; their sole purpose is to hunt down prodigies.
However, there are a very small number of reborn individuals whose memories are almost identical to reality, having been carefully deduced by those with great supernatural powers!
These reborn individuals are the truly terrifying opponents; in a sense, they can be considered "prophetic" beings.
The entire Immortal Realm is a massive chaotic system. If there are too many people with foresight, the future will also change. Therefore, the foresight advantage of reborn individuals may not last for many years, but it is still terrifying enough.
This is the reflexivity of prophecy.
For example, if enough reborn individuals knew that ten years later, the price of a certain spiritual item in the immortal realm would skyrocket for some reason.
They would then be very likely to buy these spiritual items at low prices in advance.
However, this will cause the price of such spiritual items to rise earlier than expected.
and many more.
Jing Yu suddenly realized a problem.
If enough reborn beings' cognition and actions could, in turn, change the environment of the immortal realm, wouldn't that mean that [XXX], who manipulates inner demons and delusions, could change reality by altering the cognition of cultivators?
Hunting down prodigies is just one aspect; there's much more to it than that.
Thinking of this, Jing Yu's eyes flashed, and he continued to ask, "How many Celestial Immortals are there in the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty?"
"Ying Qianjue has broken through to the Mahayana realm?"
"What major events have occurred within the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty in recent years...?"
After asking a series of questions and obtaining the information he wanted, Jing Yu did not hesitate to kill the two Nascent Soul Dharma Images in front of him, leaving no future trouble.
“Xuanjing…it’s been so many years…” Yun Xuance finally had time to catch up with Jing Yu, but he noticed that Jing Yu pressed down on his palm:
"This is not the place to talk."
Then, Jing Yu used a flash of light to carry the two of them out of the immortal city, randomly choosing a desolate place to land.
The three of them settled down, each supported by a cloud of mist. Yun Xuance couldn't wait to ask, "How have you been in the Immortal Realm all these years? And what about your cultivation level...?"
"It's alright, let's talk about it one by one," Jing Yu said with a smile.
He recounted the various events that had occurred since his ascension to the Immortal Realm, picking out the ones he could tell, and also explained the whereabouts of Ye Xingyun, Xiao Buyi, and others. He also informed Yun Xuance and the other person about the large number of [Reborn] and [Mind Readers] appearing in the Immortal Realm.
He also revealed that Li Huaiyou, the advisor of the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty Prince's Mansion, was very likely a reincarnated person.
"There are reborn beings in the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty? No wonder we were so careful, yet we still fell for their trick."
Yang Dingfeng frowned and said, "If it weren't for Xuanjing's help, I'm afraid we would both die here today."
Yun Xuance pondered, “A reborn person? Interesting… However, the more he tries to change the future, the more different the future will be from his memories. His advantage of foresight cannot be maintained for long.”
"But he's still a menace... Very well, this person wants to eliminate us ahead of time? We can certainly retaliate by setting a trap for him."
Jing Yu asked, "Now that you have ascended to immortality, what are your plans? Should I send you to Senior Xiao's place? Or perhaps you could go to the Zhong family first? I still have some influence with the Zhong family."
Yun Xuance and Yang Dingfeng exchanged a glance, then said in unison, "No need!"
Yun Xuance explained, “We don’t know how long the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty’s advantage of foresight can last, but since in Li Huaiyou’s memory we eventually joined forces with Xiao Tianjun and became the masterminds to destroy the Divine Cauldron… why not do the opposite?”
Yang Dingfeng said with a smile, "We want to keep Li Huaiyou guessing the future."
Jing Yu frowned and said, "None of us know what the 'future' that Li Huaiyou saw is like. If your decision today happens to align with that deduced 'history'... wouldn't that be counterproductive?"
Yun Xuance explained at this moment: "There are countless possibilities for the future, but the future of [Li Huaiyou] in his previous life was the only certain path... He cannot exhaust our choices, and the future he deduced will always be just a small branch."
