Feng Wuxia's mind remained restless for a long time. What her father had just told her about Feng Wuxie's prophecy of fate was simply too incredible to believe. It was too bizarre!
In this world, Soul Practitioners were everywhere, and to secure a place of prominence, one had to train diligently. However, hard work alone wasn't enough; innate talent was also crucial. A person's talent determined the nature of their soul power, and the nature of their soul power determined how far they could progress. Take Feng Wuxia, for example. Her soul power was aligned with the wind element, so she could only cultivate the Soul of Wind, a type of soul technique that leaned more towards defense. Feng Wuxin, on the other hand, the so-called talented eldest sister, had soul power aligned with the fire element, so she cultivated the Soul of Fire. Fire-based soul techniques were more offensive in nature.
Thus, even though Feng Wuxia and Feng Wuxin were at the same martial level in their soul techniques, when it came to actual combat, Feng Wuxin’s fire-based soul power would have the upper hand. Why? Because the wind element only fuels the fire element, making it difficult to extinguish. Unless Feng Wuxia could cultivate her wind element to its utmost limit, she would have no chance of suppressing the fire element. Otherwise, it would be nearly impossible for a Soul Practitioner of the same level to achieve that.
This was the difference in strength!
Far, far away from the Qiji Continent was another land, the Dilin Continent. It was a place even more unreachable than the Qiji Continent. As a dedicated Soul Practitioner, Feng Wuxia knew that the Dilin Continent was a place she could never reach in her lifetime! That land was home to the most profound Soul Practitioners and ancient masters in the world. She didn’t know just how terrifying the power there was, but she did know that the Dilin Continent had a unique profession: Fate Prophets.
Fate Prophets could analyze the soul through the physical body, allowing them to predict a child's future destiny with simple accuracy. According to her father, the elder who gave Feng Wuxie her prophetic fate came from the Dilin Continent!
Compared to the entire Qiji Continent, the Feng family was just a small clan in an insignificant border country—the Molu Kingdom, residing in an inconspicuous city in the northwest—Qing'an City. Feng Wuxia had great ambitions, but her ambitions were only to use any means necessary to become the heir of the Feng family, learn more advanced martial techniques, enhance her soul power, bring glory to the Feng clan, and secure her own position. That’s why she had always looked down on her foolish younger sister, thinking that although she was a legitimate daughter, she was an obstacle in her path, and wishing she would just die!
But who would have thought that someone from the Dilin Continent had given Feng Wuxie a prophecy about her fate? And Feng Wuxie’s destiny prophecy was so astonishing, almost as if it was bestowed by the gods:
"A fool she remains? But only until thirteen. The Feng star shall rise, and her soul's fate shall turn. From death's grasp, she'll return, with hands that can seize the heavens! A hero among beauties, who could stand beside her?"
This was Feng Wuxie’s destiny prophecy! It was something to envy, to be jealous of, and to hate!
What frightened Feng Wuxia even more was that the first two lines of the prophecy seemed to be coming true! Feng Wuxie had been foolish, and the family head had allowed her to grow up as she was. This year, Feng Wuxie was thirteen, and it seemed that she had suddenly changed into a completely different person. Although she still lost in the fight earlier, she no longer appeared foolish and even gave off a terrifying aura! Could this be the sign of her soul's fate reversing?
"From death's grasp she'll return… from death's grasp she'll return… Father, do you mean to say that Feng Wuxie is destined to survive today, and if that’s the case, why don’t we just go with the flow and help her out?" Feng Wuxia thought for a long time before finally understanding Feng Ziyi’s intentions.
Feng Ziyi nodded. "Exactly. While watching the fight, I kept observing Feng Wuxie. She is indeed different now! And…" Feng Ziyi spoke, his eyes cautiously scanning the surroundings, and his voice lowered, "Also, just now, there were two unfamiliar soul powers near the library. When I tried to trace the source of those soul powers, I was forcefully repelled, and a man's voice spoke to me."
"Voice transmission? How come I didn’t hear it?" Feng Wuxia asked, puzzled.
"He only used soul power to transmit the voice directly to me, so of course, you couldn’t hear it. Judging by the soul power from that voice, it was truly unfathomable—far beyond anything our Feng family could contend with."
"So powerful? What did he say?"
"He said—if Feng Wuxie dies, he will kill the entire Feng clan!"
