Chapter 5

As for Yvonne Carter, he was simply admiring the beautiful scenery with a casual air, looking very much like a true recluse of the world.

“Master Carter, although what you said is indeed very accurate, if someone really wanted to investigate, this information could still be found out. Why not, Master Carter, deduce some other information?”

In Emily Sullivan’s heart, she was still somewhat unwilling to believe—as she had said, the things that happened when she was five, including her innate divine abilities, could be discovered if someone really tried to investigate.

Her identity and background were indeed rather extraordinary. If the other party had deeper motives...

Just as Emily Sullivan was thinking this, Yvonne Carter seemed to see through her thoughts once again. He shook his head slightly and said, “You and I are fated. For the sake of Fairy Ethan, I won’t hold your doubts against you—”

Yvonne Carter’s words once again hit the mark in Emily Sullivan’s mind, causing her to lose her composure a little.

But Yvonne Carter didn’t mind these things and continued, “Actually, before you all arrived, I didn’t know you, nor did I know your background or identity.

But after seeing you, I understood.

I observed that ‘brilliance blooms at your brow, and your beauty calms the purple river.’ You must possess the ‘Three Thousand Purple Qi’ talent, and your name must be ‘Emily Sullivan’. This is your destiny.

At the same time, because your destiny is too great, things have gone to the extreme and reversed; your whole life is destined for tribulation, and it all began when you were five.

Fortunately, because of your astonishing background, you invited the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, Samuel Grant, to help you avert the calamity.

Unfortunately, this kind of fate tribulation can only be alleviated, not truly resolved. Only someone with the great fortune of possessing the Nine-Colored Glazed Heart and becoming your Dao companion can truly transform the endless tribulation of all living beings, allowing you to break free from your cocoon and become a butterfly.

Because of this, most people who have taken the initiative to get close to you over the years have suffered much misfortune.

The reason Ethan Carter is unharmed is because Ethan Carter’s own constitution is very compatible with yours. But precisely because of this, it is also a great hidden danger, as it will make your tribulation even heavier.

What Samuel Grant did was only to delay, not to cure. Therefore, your fate tribulation began at age five, and now at seventeen, it has accumulated for exactly twelve years!

Now, it has reached the limit of your accumulated fate tribulation. I suppose you are currently stuck at the peak of the ninth level of the Golden Core stage, unable to nurture a Nascent Soul or break through, right?

Actually, your breakthrough is near, but on the day you break through, a destructive heavenly tribulation will descend, erupting together with your fate tribulation. At that time, your soul will be scattered and you will be utterly annihilated.”

Most of what Yvonne Carter said was gleaned from Emily Sullivan’s life records.

A small part, of course, was told by Mason Clark.

After all, tracing the cause from the result was something Yvonne Carter was good at.

“Ah—”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ethan Carter let out a soft cry, clearly shocked by this explanation.

On the contrary, Emily Sullivan appeared much calmer.

“Then, may I ask Master Carter, is there a way to resolve such a fate tribulation?”

Emily Sullivan’s expression was calm as she asked softly.

“The solution has actually already been given by the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, Samuel Grant.”

“But in this world, how can one find someone with the Nine-Colored Glazed Heart?”

“Quite coincidentally, I happen to possess the Nine-Colored Glazed Heart. Fairy, do you think I still have a chance?”

“Master Carter, you jest. Master Carter, you specialize in divination, but have yet to begin cultivation. Your vitality is weak, and your body is not surrounded by any spiritual energy or Daoist aura. How could you possibly possess the Nine-Colored Glazed Heart?”

“In this world, much of what you see is merely what others want you to see.”

“Master Carter, you are quite right, but please allow me to consider this matter further.” Emily Sullivan pondered for a moment, then said, “Master Carter, regarding my secrets, please do not mention them lightly. Otherwise, even if I do not make things difficult for you, it will still bring about great disaster.”

“We, as masters of heavenly secrets, are never gossips. Now, let us continue the deduction of your fate tribulation from earlier.”

Yvonne Carter said solemnly.

Now that he knew Emily Sullivan’s background was astonishing, this was a thigh he could... cough, this was a thigh he had to hold onto for some benefits. Otherwise, how could he survive in this world?

Yvonne Carter was originally a transmigrator, but it was a kind of reincarnation. Moreover, it wasn’t until after he was three and a half years old that he gradually recovered the memories of his previous life.

At that time, when Yvonne Carter realized this was a vast world similar to a fantasy xianxia realm, he once thought that he would surely be able to fly through the skies, move mountains and fill seas, ride a sword for thousands of miles, and become a carefree sword immortal.

But unexpectedly, he had no spiritual talent, nor any heaven-defying bloodline.

He had never seen his mother since regaining his memories—not because she had a mysterious background or was some great figure hiding here, but simply because she had died of illness.

His father was a half-baked geomancer, observing mountains and rivers, searching for blessed lands and dragon veins...

In the words of China, he was just a hustler feng shui master, scraping by with a bit of basic knowledge, swindling and cheating to barely get by—cough, no, just barely making ends meet.

When he was young, after regaining his transmigrator memories, Yvonne Carter showed a hint of cleverness, only to have his unscrupulous father fill his head with all sorts of messy geomancer knowledge—most of which, crucially, was wrong.
