He was not far from reaching the equivalent of the sage realm. Nobody like Bad Karma #1 had been born since him, but it was not as if Ye Li had expected many of these beings to be born.
If the path of Karma was so easy to practice, then he would not be the path creator, someone else would have long created it before him.
Ye Li did not need to investigate how Bad Karma #1 had died, he already knew. Everything was included in the Karma that had been sent back.
It was a pity. If he had truly brought Ye Li a great gain, then he may have truly been allowed to live on the side of good Karma.
Ye Li sat between the Good Karma and Bad Karma side while accumulating Karma.
Meanwhile, Yhwh arrived at the Cosmic sect. As in the past, Ying Xiong was still the Sect Master and most powerful being of the Cosmic Sect.
Although the Cosmic Sect was no longer unparalleled, it could still be considered the strongest human force. In addition to the many humans, even some non humans had joined the Cosmic Sect.
As Yhwh arrived, he was able to immediately meet Ying Xiong due to the patriarch's presence.
Yhwh and the patriarch waited in a room for Ying Xiong to arrive.
"This Ying Xiong can never be underestimated. He can be considered the oldest living being in the universe. His knowledge transcends everything we understand." The patriarch warned Yhwh.
Yhwh nodded. He had also heard of such stories. Even when there had been a High sage, before he had been crippled, he had not dared to be rude to Ying Xiong.
There had been no High Sage since, and Ying Xiong was one of the strongest sages in the universe.
There were some ancient sages, but none could even compare to Ying Xiong.
After a moment, Ying Xiong entered the room. He sat across from the two and spoke.
"What brings you two here?"
The patriarch looked at Yhwh, and Yhwh opened his mouth.
However, before he could say a word, Ying Xiong interrupted.
"Ipth patriarch. Leave the room for a moment. I would like to talk to him alone."
The Ipth patriarch looked at Ying Xiong for a moment, hesitating.
"If I wish to harm him, you being here or not being here won't make a difference. I simply want to talk to him about something he may consider personal." Ying Xiong said.
The Ipth patriarch agreed. "Fine."
He left the room, leaving Yhwh and Ying Xiong alone.
Yhwh looked at Ying Xiong, inexplicably looking kind of nervous.
Ying Xiong leaned in. "You're not a cultivator, are you?"
Yhwh shook his head. "No."
Ying Xiong leaned back and nodded. "You know, I've met someone like you once."
Yhwh was shocked and listened intensely.
"It was harder to understand then, but I think I get it more. He had created his own path, and that path is what you know today as cultivation."
Yhwh was silent, and his mind was blank. He couldn't believe it.
Although he had been creating his own path, and he suspected the guy he fought to be the same, he had never even thought about cultivation being someone else's path. It had always seemed like Qi, something naturally created and a part of the universe.
After a few minutes of silence, Yhwh spoke. "Is he still alive?"
Ying Xiong laughed. "Of course. How could he be dead? I may not have seen him in a long time, but even I can understand that it is impossible for him to die. Even if he somehow were to die, we would all know it."
"So what is your path?" Ying Xiong asked. He had a minor understanding of path creators since he had also met the Buddha and had interacted with Will Decipher.
However, Yhwh did not answer.
Ying Xiong scratched his head. "I suppose you don't want to freely share that information. Different from the past, but I guess times are changing. Zhou Fan was quite open about it."
Yhwh had some questions, but Ying Xiong called the patriarch back in.
"Alright. What did you two come to me for?"
Hearing this, Yhwh remembered why he had come here.
"We encountered someone that needs to be found and killed. We would do it ourselves, but there seems to be an organization behind him called the Unknown."
Ying Xiong tilted his head. "Why would we help you?"
Yhwh explained the significance of the enemy.
"He is like me, about what we talked about earlier." Yhwh said.
Ying Xiong's eyes widened. "Interesting. Anything else to add?"
"He gains power by killing people or something like it. He is also extremely talented, and I'm not confident in defeating him alone after our last battle." Yhwh said.
Ying Xiong nodded. "You've fought before? How'd that turn out?"
"I barely defeated him, but he was able to run away after hitting me with some inexplicable move. That move is what I fear most."
"Were you able to see his face?"
Yhwh shook his head. "There was something stopping me from fully analyzing him. All I can say is that if he fully matures, we will all regret it."
Yhwh thought for a moment and nodded. "Alright. We will try to find this person and kill him."
Yhwh released a sigh of relief.
Ying Xiong continued. "However, we have no knowledge of him or his whereabouts, so it is not going to be easy."
Yhwh nodded. He had never expected it to be easy, he was only hoping for a chance.
"In fact, it is basically impossible. But…" Ying Xiong trailed off.
He stood up and walked out of the room. "Follow me."
Yhwh and the patriarch followed Ying Xiong towards an area of the Cosmic sect. Here, the houses were elegant beyond measure, and each residence came with a yard the size of planets.
As they walked, Ying Xiong spoke. "Have you ever heard of Chaos Beasts?"
Yhwh shook his head. He had not had access to much history, especially since much had been lost.
Neither had the Ipth Patriarch, as most knowledge was kept by humans in buildings known as libraries.
"Well, they were a universal calamity at one time…" Ying Xiong explained the history of Chaos Beasts and how they were the greatest enemies of all life for a long, long time.
He focused on one point in particular. "Although Chaos beasts could break through space and randomly appear in different locations throughout the universe, we were able to predict it. Can you guess why?"
Neither of them were able to guess.
"A man with a Divine Physique. His contributions were so great that his descendants were set for life. However, one day, long after he had died of old age, we discovered that one of his descendants had inherited this Divine Physique. This was before Bloodline inheritance became a thing, and either way, he wasn't a sage. This descendant was extremely talented, and today, he is one of the sages of the human race."
Something seemed to click in the patriarch's head and he spoke.
"Third Eye Star Seer."
Ying Xiong nodded. "That is his nickname."
Yhwh looked at the patriarch with curiosity.
The patriarch explained. "As a member of the outsiders, we had fought humanity before. Even now, there are occasional skirmishes, though we are not mortal enemies. I fought on a few battlefields, and there was one human that stood out among others. He was known to us as Third Eye Star Seer, based on the third eye on his forehead. It has always been hard to understand his Divine Physique, but on the battlefield, he had never once been hit, and his vision was far greater than anyone else's. He was a commander for many of those battles."
Yhwh looked at Ying Xiong, hoping to receive a more detailed explanation.
Ying Xiong indeed explained. "Since we are not enemies anymore, I can explain what I understand of his Divine Physique, though it is mostly based on his predecessor's Divine Physique. After all, Third Eye Star Seer keeps to himself."
"His predecessor's ability had been some sort of predicting, combined with seeing extremely far. He could somehow sense where things would happen before they happen. Our guess is that his Divine Physique tapped into the power of time and/or some other sort of unknown power. Regardless, if Third Eye Star Seer can't find this enemy of yours, it will be extremely difficult to even find his traces."
As he finished speaking, they stopped in front of a luxurious house. Ying Xiong knocked on the door, and some sort of butler answered.
"I'm looking for Third Eye Star Seer." Ying Xiong said.
The butler bowed before speaking. "The master is sparring with Star Spear Sky as of now. As for where, I don't know."
Ying Xiong sighed. "Of course he is." He turned around and led Yhwh and the patriarch to a teleportation hub.
"Luckily, I know where they like to fight."
As they moved, Yhwh asked who this Star Spear Sky was.
The Patriarch answered solemnly. "I never fought Third Eye Star Seer, but Star Spear Sky, on the other hand, I've personally fought."
The Patriarch paused and Yhwh waited for him to continue.
"I was not and am not Star Spear Sky's match. We only fought for ten moves before he severely injured me. I had some other unfortunate encounters, nothing I want to talk about."
Yhwh nodded. It seemed that this Star Spear Sky was quite a powerful figure.
Ying Xiong spoke as they left the teleportation array.
"It is always nice to see the powerful figures of humanity grow. In the past, there were those even more talented in battle than Star Spear Sky. Unfortunately, their cultivation talent didn't allow them to reach the Sage Realm. If Chen Jie or Zhu Yi was still alive, humanity would completely own the Main Universe. Maybe if that High sage hadn't been a fool, it would have been the same."
Yhwh heard the lament in Ying Xiong's tone and did not respond.
Neither did the patriarch.
After a few teleportations, they arrived in a desolate teleportation hub, with only a single worker.
As soon as they stepped outside, they felt this area of the universe shaking. In the distance, two human sages sparred. One held a spear with stars revolving around it, while the other perfectly maneuvered around every attack.
The Third Eye Star Seer's power reminded Yhwh of the person he fought.
Ying Xiong stepped forward and disappeared. He arrived in the center of the battlefield, between two powerful attacks. With one finger, he moved the spear to the side, and with another, he tapped Third Eye Star Seer's forehead.
The Spear shot out a torrential power in a different direction, while Third Eye Star Seer grabbed his forehead in pain.
The battle stopped.
"Really! The Third Eye! You know how much that hurts!" Third Eye Star Seer said.
Ying Xiong apologized. "Sorry, I forgot."
"You forget everytime you ancient dust in human form." Third Eye Star Seer cursed.
Star Spear Sky didn't say anything, putting his spear away through a tear in space.
Ying Xiong spoke. "Third Eye Star Seer, I need your help."
Third Eye Star Seer moved his hand off of his forehead. On his forehead was naturally a third eye.
Third Eye Star Seer seemed to embrace his age, unlike many other sages. He had long, old gray hair and a beard to match it. He had wrinkles on his face. However, his behavior towards Ying Xiong was like that of a young person.
After all, Ying Xiong had been alive longer than even Third Eye Star Seer's ancestor.
Hearing Ying Xiong's words, he regained his bearing as an old Sage.
"What exactly would cause you to come and find me?"
"There is a being I need you to find. He is unique, powerful, and a threat to all living things. There is also some sort of organization behind him called the Unknown, and some being known as Lord Memory." Ying Xiong said.
Third Eye Star Seer nodded. "I have spare time. Take me to a place where he has been before."
Ying XIong looked at Yhwh.
Yhwh spoke. "I can take you there."
