I Have a Compass for Opportunity

Xuanyi’s words revealed too much information.

These were all Liou Yuan had never before heard of, secrets of the Liou Family, causing his eyes to glimmer slightly.

"So, the Taichu Ice Mirror is a Golden Core inheritance!"

"Does this mean our ancestors had a Golden Core?"

"Doesn’t that make me and my elder brother also of Golden Core bloodline?"

Liou Yuan had never heard Liou Zhen mention this before.

No wonder Liou Zhen was so persistent about the Taichu Ice Mirror.

It’s the inheritance of the Liou Family’s forefathers, a legacy of the Ice Vein, directly leading to the Golden Core.

"No wonder the Fog Vein covets the position of Patriarch. Besides the vast resources controlled by the Patriarch, the ’Taichu Ice Mirror’ is indeed too tempting."

This way, Liou Yuan had a complete logical deduction for the motivation behind the Fog Vein’s plot for the Patriarch’s position twenty years ago.

Liou Hexuan had the potential for the Golden Core and clearly refused to accept the Ice Vein’s control, holding onto the Liou Family’s Golden Core legacy.

Thus, he rose to action, killed the Family Patriarch, and faced off against the strongest of the Ice Vein in the Chaotic Scene.

But plans cannot outmaneuver destiny. Liou Hexuan did not expect that even with the Golden Core inheritance of the ’Taichu Ice Mirror,’ he failed to breakthrough to the Golden Core.

Instead, he was trapped at the threshold of the Golden Core for twenty years.

Perhaps breaking through to the Golden Core is inherently not easy.

Or perhaps, as Xuanyi said, the path of predecessors may not be suitable for Liou Hexuan.

"The Sect Leader still harbors hopes for Liou Hexuan. Reclaiming the Taichu Ice Mirror this time may well be an intention to let Liou Hexuan destroy in order to recreate." Liou Yuan deeply glanced inside the door.

Xuanyi’s stance had always been unclear, sometimes leaning towards the Ice Vein, other times towards the Fog Vein.

Only now did he truly understand that Xuanyi never favored any side.

He only valued the potential of disciples or the interests of the Sect.

"Those in power prioritize benefits." Liou Yuan silently bowed his head.

One can imagine, if one day Liou Hexuan truly breaks through to the Golden Core, as the only two bloodlines left in the Ice Vein,

his and Liou Zhen’s days would not be easy, perhaps even inviting disastrous calamity.

"I just hope my brother breaks through to the Golden Core faster than Liou Hexuan."

Liou Yuan himself did not hold much hope, having begun his cultivation late, achieving the Golden Core could take forever.

It’s more reliable to place hopes on his extraordinarily talented brother.

"Thank you, Sect Leader, for your guidance. Disciple will remember it in my heart." Liou Hexuan said, whether he indeed took it to heart or just feigned humility was uncertain.

He deeply bowed towards the doorway, speaking in an emotionless voice: "Disciple will head to the forbidden area now, and present the Taichu Ice Mirror to the Ice Vein in three days."

"Go ahead!" Xuanyi nodded.

Liou Hexuan’s figure had already vanished from the corridor.

Now, on the passage leading to the Wenda Tower, only the brothers Liou Yuan and Liou Zhen were left.

"Liou Zhen, are you satisfied with this outcome?" Xuanyi’s voice arose again.

"Disciple has no objections." Liou Zhen bowed towards Xuanyi behind the door.

"Senior Liou Ze was the first Golden Core of your Liou Family and the ancestor of the Ice Vein."

"The Taichu Ice Mirror is considered the most dazzling inheritance outside of the Five Golden Core inheritances of Five Extremes Mountain. All three Supreme Elders hold it in high regard."

"The Taichu Ice Mirror may not suit Liou Hexuan, but it might extremely match you. Once you acquire it, comprehend it well. This humble Daoist also wishes to witness your Liou Family producing a second Golden Core."

Xuanyi said many encouraging words, all of which Liou Zhen listened to earnestly.

Then, Liou Yuan felt Xuanyi’s gaze turn to him, as if this man, with the title of Hundred Ghosts Asura, could see through his body, with his cultivation laid bare before him.

He heard him say in a vaguely smiling tone: "You should also establish your Foundation."

"Yes!" Liou Yuan smiled slightly.

Actually, this was obvious without Xuanyi having to say it. If it weren’t for the matter of the Chaotic Scene, Liou Yuan should have focused on secluding for breakthrough once he successfully established his domain.

Now that the affair of the Chaotic Scene is resolved, he will choose a day to retreat.

Of course, before his retreat, Liou Yuan couldn’t resist taking a look at that Golden Core inheritance of the Liou Family’s Ice Vein, the ’Taichu Ice Mirror.’

"There’s just me and my brother left in the Ice Vein now. My brother certainly won’t hoard the Taichu Ice Mirror."

Thinking of this, Liou Yuan felt an itch of anticipation; it’s a Golden Core inheritance, after all, especially one belonging to their Ice Vein.

With all having been said and done, no more sound came from behind the door.

Liou Yuan and Liou Zhen exchanged a glance and tacitly withdrew from the corridor.

Inside the Wenda Tower, hung a painting of an immortal crane.

After the Liou brothers left, the immortal crane in the painting seemed to come alive, stepping elegantly out to Xuanyi who sat cross-legged at the desk.

It was indeed the Hall Master of the Disciplinary Hall.

"That Liou Hexuan kid, I watched him grow up. He’s one to hold grudges."

"Hehe, today’s decision is sure to provoke resentment from that kid, but he’s just afraid of you and doesn’t dare to show his dissatisfaction."

The immortal crane appeared to be in no mood to settle down.

"I gave him twenty years." Xuanyi glanced at the immortal crane, speaking in a leisurely tone: "For twenty years, he clung to the Taichu Ice Mirror, yet never reached the Golden Core."

"It’s just as well to use the matter of the Chaotic Scene today to take the Taichu Ice Mirror away."

"If he still can’t understand the painstaking intentions of this Sect Leader, he deserves to be at Foundation Establishment forever."

"You indeed hit two birds with one stone, aiding the Ice Vein, while also admonishing Liou Hexuan." The immortal crane guffawed with a peculiar laugh.

"I fear someone may not appreciate your kindness."

The Wenda Tower suddenly fell silent, Xuanyi looked at the immortal crane with a vaguely smiling gaze, saying: "Heling, what’s up with you and Liou Hexuan today with your odd tone?"

"Do you wish this humble Daoist to kill that Liou Hexuan?"
