After stepping into the Ascension Realm, Shen Xuanwei had reached the very pinnacle of the Kunwu Continent.
Compared with killing techniques that wielded Dao Rhyme and Immortal Qi, Shen Xuanwei favored another direction.
Heavenly Secrets.
Or rather, karma.
For Shen Xuanwei could not forget the dream he had experienced in the Guiyi Realm.
He could not forget the Time Turbulence he had seen in that dream, or the countless strands of karma entwined within it.
He believed that all the mysteries of this world could be explained there.
Including how to reverse the decline of the Kunwu Continent's cultivation world.
Shen Xuanwei continually divined Heavenly Secrets and reached out to touch karma.
But karma was no plaything.
During this time, Shen Xuanwei suffered karma's backlash again and again, and the erosion of his Dao Rhyme grew ever more severe.
Less than ten years after he had entered the Ascension Realm, nearly half of Shen Xuanwei's Dao Rhyme had already worn away.
Yet Shen Xuanwei felt neither discouragement nor fear.
Instead, he became even more enthralled by this thing called karma.
The Ascension Realm True Persons of the Hidden Sects saw through Shen Xuanwei's obsession and tried to dissuade him.
Continuing to cultivate and exploring the path toward the Immortal Ascendant Realm was the only proper course.
But Shen Xuanwei disagreed, and his stance was resolute.
For within his own karma, he had seen countless futures.
Everyone thought Shen Xuanwei had gone mad.
These Ascension Realm powerhouses of the Hidden Sects believed they should not have allowed Shen Xuanwei access to so many legacies of Void Return Realm True Lords.
His comprehension was simply too formidable.
If he comprehended all the True Lord legacies of the nine different schools, it might have some adverse effects.
Just like what was happening now.
