...Divine weapons were never mere tools as they were calamities.
Each one possessed its own arrogant will... untamable, proud, and utterly unwilling to submit to anyone.
Even immortals could only borrow their power at a heavy price, never truly command them.
To truly command them? That was impossible.
After all, they had the right to be arrogant as a divine weapon was forged from the Dao itself... or more precisely, from a fragment of it.
Yet this...this Divine Weapon in Li Feng’s hand...
’It didn’t resist him and it even protected him...’
That single fact overturned everything she knew.
At the same time, she couldn’t help but wonder which Dao would actually choose to... manifest as a brick of all things.
Before she could delve deeper into her thoughts, Li Feng’s shameless voice interrupted her.
"Hey! Now that I blocked your attack, so you should honor the deal!"
’Wei Zhenxin’ fell silent once more.
Her gaze slowly shifted to Li Feng, studying him carefully.
This time, there was no doubt left in her mind.
’No... this is beyond mere talent or fate.’
If it were only talent or destiny, she wouldn’t be this shaken.
Something about Li Feng felt fundamentally different... as if he didn’t entirely belong to the same rules as everything else in this world.
In the end, she sighed.
"...Very well" she said at last, her composure slowly returning. "You have passed."
Whoever or whatever Li Feng truly was, it wasn’t her business.
’At least this kid seems like a good and caring fellow.’
She had seen how desperately he protected his fellow sect members.
That alone was a praiseworthy act.
With that thought, she pointed a slender finger at Li Feng as a small speck of white light flew toward him.
"As per our deal... here is a glimpse of the future."
Li Feng’s eyes grew curious as he watched the speck of light approach.
Sensing no threat, he calmly allowed it to flow toward his forehead.
But suddenly, Wei Zhenxin’s voice echoed again, but this time soft and almost amused.
"I even went the extra mile to see how it ends for her... Now it seems quite a rather interesting sight."
"Huh? What do you mean—"
Before he could finish, Li Feng’s mind went completely blank.
’Wei Zhenxin’ stood silently, watching over him as he processed the divination.
Slowly...a rather pitiful gaze appeared in her eyes.
Not for Yue Lan... but for Li Feng.
She couldn’t divine Li Feng’s future directly, but by divining the fates of those around him, she could catch fragments of what awaited him.
"What a rough path this boy will take..." she murmured softly.
Yet even as she spoke, a hint of confusion flickered across her face.
After all, the Li Feng she glimpsed in those fragments seemed... a bit different.

The world dissolved around Li Feng.
He blinked, and suddenly found himself standing amid endless snow.
"Where... is this?" he muttered, but his voice was instantly swallowed by the howling wind.
Li Feng squinted his eyes, yet all he could see was snow stretching in every direction as far as the eye could see.
While a dark, oppressive night sky hung above him, swallowing all light as fierce icy winds howled like a raging storm, yet there was no life in sight... only an endless white void.
"...This vision is a bit too real," he muttered, his brows furrowing.
Each breath he took came out as white mist, quickly devoured by the storm.
The freezing air clawed at his skin, seeping through his robes as if they weren’t there at all.
Yet strangely... he didn’t feel any real danger.
