Whether it was because the patterns had been imprinted on him, when Ye Chu memorised those patterns again this time, he remembered them with perfect clarity. Even after a long time had passed, he still had not forgotten a single one.
Only after he had memorised every pattern clearly did Ye Chu walk out from beyond the stone door and return once more to the dao temple.
Cultivators were still searching for treasures inside the dao temple, but Ye Chu no longer cared about any of that. He only wanted to see Weak Water as quickly as possible and ask her exactly what those patterns were and what effect they had on his supreme will.
Weak Water still stood there like a goddess, proud and aloof, pure and otherworldly, beautiful in a way that seemed untouched by mortal dust.
“You have come out!” Weak Water saw Ye Chu emerge, gave a slight nod, and her calm face was incomparably beautiful.
“I have recorded all those patterns! But I really want to know what that pattern resembling the three thousand weak waters actually is?” Ye Chu asked curiously.
A trace of surprise appeared on Weak Water’s exquisite face. She looked at Ye Chu and said, “You say you have condensed the three thousand weak water dao patterns?”
Seeing the serious and somewhat incredulous expression on Weak Water’s face, Ye Chu could not help asking curiously, “What is that?”
“That is the clan pattern of my race!” As Weak Water spoke, she pointed a finger at her forehead. Sure enough, a pattern appeared on her brow, identical to the one Ye Chu had obtained beyond the stone door, ancient and grand like the three thousand weak waters.
“The clan pattern of your race?” Ye Chu was stunned. He stared at Weak Water with disbelief. How could the clan pattern of her race appear on his body? “What use does it have?”
“That is a pattern my ancestor drew with countless efforts. It contains his great dao.” Weak Water said calmly. “Those of my clan who possess the clan pattern can comprehend the three thousand weak water secret arts. As for you…”
Ye Chu was shaken by this. What kind of figure was the ancestor of the Weak clan? His dao and laws were definitely world-shaking. Even if they could not compare to a supreme being, they were not far off. The pattern condensed from the dao and laws of such a person could only be imagined as terrifying. Even heavenly artifacts could not compare to this single pattern.
This was the true peerless treasure. Ye Chu took a deep breath, looked at Weak Water and asked, “As for me what?”
“The intent beyond the stone door is naturally not for comprehending the three thousand weak water dao of my clan. The pattern you received is imprinted with my ancestor’s comprehension of the supreme will. Its purpose is probably to suppress the spread of your supreme will and prevent you from losing yourself within it.” Weak Water answered. “As for anything else, you will have to comprehend that yourself. My ancestor once said he hoped to find someone to break open the supreme will together with him.”
Ye Chu smiled bitterly. With his current meagre strength, how could he possibly compare with such a figure?
“It really can suppress the spread of the supreme will and keep me from losing myself in it.” Ye Chu said. “The coolness in my arm has completely disappeared. But I do not know what that means. Inside my primordial spirit, the supreme will has instead grown stronger.”
“That is not strange!” Weak Water said. “Even a figure like my ancestor could not break open the supreme will. It is impossible for you to hope to destroy it.”
Ye Chu’s heart suddenly jumped. “So you mean that sooner or later I will be lost to the supreme will?”
Weak Water looked at Ye Chu for a moment, then nodded and said, “Perhaps you can also reach the level of my ancestor and use peerless means to keep your own mind clear!”
Ye Chu took a deep breath and could not help smiling bitterly. He thought that if he had such means, there would be no need to say anything more.
“I want to meet the strongest expert of your clan!” Ye Chu said to Weak Water.
Weak Water shook her head. “Only my ancestor can speak with true understanding about the supreme will. Everyone else is no different from me. As for my ancestor, you cannot see him.”
Ye Chu naturally knew that the ancestor of the Weak clan could not be seen. That was a figure from who knew what era. His bones had probably been cold for countless years. Yet the thought of simply waiting for death left Ye Chu unwilling.
“What else did he leave behind? Did he only leave this single pattern for me?” Ye Chu knew that supreme expert had spent his entire life fighting the supreme will. It was impossible that he had left only this much.
Weak Water was silent for a moment before she said to Ye Chu, “Follow me!”
Ye Chu nodded and followed behind Weak Water. Her figure was graceful, peerlessly beautiful, stunning to the extreme. She walked quietly ahead, and Ye Chu’s heart seemed to drift along with her every step.
Returning once more to the Weak clan, Weak Water led Ye Chu into a secret chamber. The chamber was very dark and even carried a chill.
A man and a woman alone together in this small secret chamber. Ye Chu looked at the breathtakingly beautiful Weak Water before him and thought her self-control must be excellent. If her self-control was poor and desire burned her body, what if she forced herself on him?
Ye Chu naturally had decent self-control himself. If Weak Water really did that, he would definitely cooperate firmly!
In the pitch-black secret chamber, with a wave of Weak Water’s hand, light shone from one spot and lit the entire chamber brightly.
Inside the secret chamber stood a small statue. The statue was not unfamiliar. It was precisely that supreme being.
“It is this again?” Ye Chu muttered.
“You have seen this statue before? Did the old madman let you enter that place in Heartless Peak?” Weak Water asked in surprise.
Ye Chu did not know what place Weak Water was referring to. He shook his head and said, “I have not seen it in Heartless Peak. But I have seen it in Fox Mountain and the strange stone forest of the Tan clan.”
“You have been to Fox Mountain and the Tan clan?” Weak Water looked at Ye Chu with curiosity. Both places were extraordinary and difficult for ordinary people to enter. That Ye Chu could enter and see the statue was already surprising. Most importantly, he had seen the statue and was still alive. That was even stranger.
“With your current strength, encountering two statues and still remaining as clear-minded as you are now is truly strange!” Weak Water said curiously.
“I encountered it once in Fox Mountain and nearly lost myself. In the Tan clan I never encountered it, so I did not lose myself.” Ye Chu said to Weak Water.
“The Tan clan actually did not scheme against you?” Weak Water felt curious. She thought this was an opportunity. How could the Tan clan have missed it?
Ye Chu shrugged. Naturally he would not mention that it was because of Tan Miaotong.
Since you have been to those two places, you know that the supreme will actually nurtures a world-shocking secret.
“What exactly is the secret?” Ye Chu asked curiously. He had only half understood it in Fox Mountain. He had not expected Weak Water to speak of it this way.
“Legend says that the supreme being who fell in Heartless Peak back then obtained an immortal treasure. That immortal treasure can grant longevity. When he fell, it was buried inside the emotion domain.”
“But what does that have to do with me?” Ye Chu asked curiously.
“No one can find that immortal treasure! Later a rumour spread that if one is tainted with the aura of a supreme being, perhaps they can use the supreme will to locate that immortal treasure. Do you understand now?”
Weak Water’s words left Ye Chu stunned for a moment. “You are not saying that they are all counting on me to find that immortal treasure, are you?”
