Xu Yue felt extremely satisfied as she used the Heaven Slashing Sword Art. After mastering it to Grand Completion, she had gained several new insights into the sword.

A smile appeared on her face as she pondered them. Feeling her own swordsmanship improve in real-time after she had mastered another sword scripture made Xu Yue feel a bliss that could not be put into words.

After a while, Xu Yue began painting for the day. Today she began painting herself, As she continued painting, the Heaven Slashing Sword art couldn't help but enter her mind, after a while, the painting started morphing.

After she finished the painting, Xu Yue stared at it for a few moments. In the painting, Xu Yue, with a sword in hand, was looking at the now split sky.

As she was staring at the painting, Xu Yue seemed to enter a trance for a few moments. Countless insights into both painting and swordsmanship entered her mind.

After regaining her senses, an annoyed look appeared on her face.

"What a waste," mumbled Xu Yue.

A moment later, Xu Yue went to the training ground. She then started training in the Heaven Slashing Sword art once again. Compared to before, both Xu Yue's mastery and the strength of the art had massive differences.

In her small enlightenment, Xu Yue had managed to comprehend the Heaven Slashing Sword will. This had caused her mastery of the sword technique to improve massively. Xu Yue was a little bit annoyed that the strength of her own sword intent had not increased.

Ignoring these thoughts, Xu Yue took a small bath before going to sleep.

Eight months later,

As she was practicing the Yin-Yang sword art, Xu Yue seemed to become distracted, insights started entering her mind. This time, though, something was different from before. After a while, Xu Yue stopped practicing the swordsmanship all together. She just stared at the sky. It seemed as if the heavenly secrets were being shown to her.

Feng Shuchun instantly appeared a distance away from Xu Yue.

"It's not any sword dao" thought Feng Shuchun as she looked at the Dao imprints appearing around Xu Yue.

As she was in thought, she did not move or speak in the slightest, fearing she would disturb Xu Yue's enlightenment.

As she finished her enlightenment, Xu Yue felt different. She had not gained any sword wills or intents, nor had her swordsmanship had many improvements.

As she focused on herself, Xu Yue found many strings emerging from her chest, all of different colors and thicknesses.

As she focused on the three biggest strings, her mother, father, and grandfather entered her mind. After a moment, Xu Yue realized what she had comprehended.

"The Dao of Karma" mumbled Xu Yue under her breath.

As she heard this, Feng Shuchun felt extremely surprised. The Dao of Karma was a Grand Dao, alongside the Grand Daos of Destiny, Luck, Probability, and Free Will and some parts of other grand Daos, it is Part of the Supreme Dao of Fate.

Daos are separated into three groups.

Minor Daos

Grand Daos

Supreme Daos

The strength difference between the three groups of Daos is extremely enormous. Most cultivators, even if they manage to reach the Minor Trancendance Realm, can only manage to do so using Minor Daos.

The different strengths of Daos also influence the Minor and Major Dao Calamities.

This is why, even though Liang Xiaoling was someone who could fight above her realm, she struggled so much against the calamity.

Even though the Dao of water is one of the weaker Supreme Daos, underestimating it would lead to death.

"Yue'er must have quite the talent in this area" thought Feng Shuchun. The reason she was slightly surprised when she heard that was because normally the first Dao a cultivator comprehends is a Minor One.

"I should consider requesting the Fate Destroying Sword Art for her" thought Feng Shuchun before approaching Xu Yue.

"Master" said Xu Yue, a happy tone appearing in her voice.

"You have comprehended the Dao of Karma?" asked Feng Shuchun, even though she already knew the answer.

"Yes" said Xu Yue, a little bit unhappy that it was not the Sword Dao she had comprehended.

"This is good!" said Feng Shuchun as she thought of some things.

"Why?" unsurely asked Xu Yue, not knowing why the Dao of Karma was good considered good by her master.

"This means you have great talent in the branches of the Dao of Fate. These Daos grant extremely great self-protection abilities" said Feng Shuchun.

As she thought about it, Xu Yue agreed that being knowledgeable about fate would grant great self-protection abilities.

"Predicting danger would surely be a great help" mumbled Xu Yue as she thought about it more deeply.

"Wait a few minutes" said Feng Shuchun before disappearing.

A moment later, Feng Shuchun appeared outside of Xu Chao's and Wu Jing's peak, and then entered it.

After a few minutes of discussion, she exited the peak. She then reported to the ancestors before returning to Xu Yue.

"You need to take two hours of your day to comprehend Divination" said Feng Shuchun before Xu Yue could say anything.

As she thought about it for a moment, Xu Yue knew that the increased protection meant slowing down her cultivation of the sword was worth it.

"Yes master" said Xu Yue, much less unhappy about the Dao of Karma.

Feng Shuchun took around twenty books from her spatial ring and handed them to Xu Yue.

"These are different techniques for conducting divination. You should comprehend them if you reach a bottleneck on this," said Feng Shuchun as she handed her a small round ball.

Before Xu Yue could say anything, the ball entered her forehead.

"Lesser-Heaven-Scrying-Art" mumbled Xu Yue.

"This is a one-time use artifact that was obtained in a deal with the Heaven-Scrying Temple. You should earnestly practice the art in it" said Feng Shuchun as she looked at her disciple.

Hearing of the Heaven-Scrying Temple, information about it entered Xu Yue's mind. The temple is the oldest First-Rank power in existence. It was founded only a bit after the Origin Sword Sect and the Yin-Yang Temple, the two oldest powers that have still survived to this day.
