Not to delve too deep, just understanding his origins would do…
Shang Che began to play with the Compass.
The Compass swayed with causality, the flow of qi changing directions.
But after just one scale rotated, the Compass suddenly trembled violently as if it had malfunctioned.
At the same time, Shang Che felt a surge of blood appear before him.
Shang Che felt his hairs stand on end with a shuddering heart, he promptly dropped the Compass, sealed his thoughts, and dared not peer into any more causality.
Moments later, it all dissipated.
Looking down, Shang Che saw cracks on the Compass, his eyes widened slightly with a trace of shock within.
“Is the Heavenly secret so perilous?”
He had only picked the simplest child to calculate, and yet he encountered such grave danger?
Even…
He didn’t even see what that “grave danger” was…
His skill in the Heavenly Mechanism was indeed too shallow; by only grazing the edge, he failed to see the true nature of the peril but thereby escaped a disaster.
Even so, Shang Che’s mood was hard to calm for a long time.
The image of Mo Hua resurfaced in his mind.
“Is it this child’s natural life chart that is so ominous? Or is it someone has laid a scheme to protect his causality?”
“Coming from a Loose Cultivator, he couldn’t naturally have such a life chart.”
“Then is it… Elder Master Xun’s scheme?”
Shang Che frowned, “But since when did the Taixu Gate possess such a sublime Heavenly Mechanism technique?”
“And what is so special about this child that warrants Elder Master Xun to go to such lengths to protect him so diligently?”
Shang Che pondered without an answer, eventually silently looking towards the Compass on his desk.
The Compass was cracked.
This was the backlash of causality.
Shang Che sighed in his heart.
Perhaps everyone had underestimated this Elder Master Xun.
It was Elder Master Xun’s way of hinting to him, no, rather to anyone who tried to deduce the child’s causality…
