Lord Shadow

As he clashes his word with Feng Xiao he could feel that there is this baleful aura of internal energy swirling around his blade.

It felt poisonous and dark, full of resentment and Karma.

If its anyone else, they would feel even more cautious but Azief possess the Undying Physique. No poison could harm him.

New sword moves comes out from Feng Xiao and Xu Meng but Azief only smiles. No matter how they changed their moves, Azief countered all of their moves effortlessly.

They exchanged many moves within a short moment

Azief then closes his eyes as he tries to crystalize the understanding and inspiration he got. For a moment, he felt again that feeling when he was standing still in his cave before.

He felt like he was one with the mountain.

He could feel the wind, the grass, the rivers that flows beneath its rocky exterior, feeling the pull of the storm and felt the shaking of the skies.

It was only a moment, but he felt it.

Seeing this Xi Feng nearly shouted in shock but then he was rendered speechless.

He could see that the expert instead of in a disadvantage could still fought off both the attack of Feng Xiao and Xu Meng with the branch stick from ever reaching him and his feet, even while he is closing his eyes.

Seeing such divine swordsmanship that seems to transcend any sword arts Xi Feng has ever seen in his life, he could not help but think of the expert as a true Sword Immortal.

Azief then opens his eyes and look at Xi Feng in the distance. Xi Feng notices that the expert is looking and him and then Azief smile.

Azief right now felt energy returning to his body. It felt like he was thirsty man in the desert finally found an oasis full of clean water.

But it was not the energy he was used to.

His body is not covered with Concepts and Laws or anything like that. His body seems to be emitting the same energy of this World.

Internal energy.

Azief eyes right now is shining in an invisible golden light. Only if they were the same level as him or surpassed him, they could see the light.

Jade Emperor on his Heavenly realm like always is fishing on the Lake of Destinies and Fates.

He saw the myriads lives of the Three Realms and the Three thousand worlds under him through the projection of the worlds on the calm lake water.

And as such, he saw the four years that Azief had experienced. He kept tabs on the one man that is intricately linked with him in Karmatic cause and effect.

He wanted to obstruct his rise when Azief summon the Purifying fire from the Cauldron of Nirvanic Fire.

But Wargod had advises him to instead form good karma with him. He agreed.

So, he put Celestial energy in the fire. Azief uses that very same Celestial source to create his Disk and enables him to complete his Thirteen Disk and summon the Supreme Stairway.

When he absorbs the Celestial Law Body then the Karma between them would be even more obvious and strengthen.

The Karmatic Cause and Effect between these two people is very complicated and is intertwined in a mess of tangled lines of destiny and fate

There is that other Timeline which was reversed by the Time God Jean and then there is this present karma.

That is why it is so messy. In that other timelines, there were not so many karmas between Azief and other beings.

But in this timeline, Azief had entangled himself with Alsurt, Azul, Wargod and many others.

Probably when he was about to reach Sovereign it will not be as easy as before.

The Jade Emperor also noted that the place Azief crashed toward is none other than the place where that darn monkey was imprisoned a few eons ago.

This in itself is a working of Karma

He did not believe in coincidence so there must be Karma between them. Thinking about it the Monkey and that mortal is same in their temperament.

Very rebellious and moody. He sighed when he saw that mortal crashed there.

In his time, when his incarnation managed to walk until the thirteen stairway he had fallen into a mortal realm where he had to undergoes all tribulation again without remembering who he was.

Thankfully Xi Wangmu remembers him and helps him in his journey.

Even at that time, when his statue, and statue of the monkey did not yet appear, there was already thirteenth steps on that stairway.

Many in the Universe believe that the Thirteen Supremacy built the thirteen steps. They were not entirely correct.

They added their energy and their Will into the stairway but they were not the architect of that stairway that could summon all qualified people to come to that mysterious dimension.

Since he was one of the top existence in the Omniverse, he of course knew some secrets.

From what he gathers, that stairway seems to be built by all source of energy from all of the Omniverse, making it to be adaptable to all kind of existence.

It could not be destroyed, taken away or absorbed and it has the essence of primordial creation of beginning.

And even before Grand Supremacy Azul stepped his feet on the stairway, epoch ago, there were already Thirteen Steps to walk through.

Which means whoever created that is even ancient than Azul and he is already one of the most ancient being that is still roaming around in the Omniverse

There was that Thirty-Three Steps. That was their creation to filter the unworthy. But the true architect of the Supreme Stairway was not them.

They only added some stuff. It is to filter the unworthy but to also help those after them to walk the full set of stairs.

Whoever created that Stairway, divinate that there will only be thirteen people walking that step.

That was his conclusion when he became a true powerhouse of the Universe.

Because he has seen many people after the Monkey that tries to attain Perfection but failed. He himself once tries to help his disciple to reach Perfection.

But he also found the more he helps them, the closer they are to Perfection, the more Destiny and Fate fight back against their attempt to reach Perfection.

The more they pushed forward, the harsher the wind that will strike then. It was then he believes that there will only be thirteen people that would step on that Stairway.

He could see that Destiny seems to block any avenue of reaching that last step to reach Perfection of Disks.

And as such he always sets twelve Disk as the limits of any cultivator in the Heavenly Realm.

That is why it was so shocking to him when he saw that mortal succeeded.

He thought the least that mortal could achieve was Perfection until Disk Formation. Who would have thought he really be able to walk until the end?

Could there be a fourteenth steps? He even sent his Soul Form to check but there doesn’t seem to be one.

So, he crosses that deduction apart.

Could the divination of that architect is wrong?

Or is there one other secret that he does not know?
