Perhaps Wen Xu had initially pretended to be blind because of his unusual Destiny Pattern, but later...
As Gu Wufang speculated, "Shen Lü" soon revealed the truth. "As expected of heaven's favored son. You could search the entire Cultivation Realm and never find another Imperial Destiny with a Mutated Wind Spiritual Root. Everyone thinks coming from the Mortal Realm means your origins are too humble. Little do they know you possess a Destiny Pattern beyond anyone else's reach!"
Imperial Destiny?!
Bian Chunchou and Chen Zui were unsurprised; they already knew. Gu Wufang and Zhi Lianshan, however, could not hide their shock. This was the mark of an emperor! Had Wen Xu never come to the Cultivation Realm, he would one day have ruled a united Mortal Realm. Legend held that an emperor with such a Destiny Pattern, if he died with his merits fulfilled, would be destined for an immortal's life in his next incarnation.
"Unfortunately, you had a blessing and didn't know it. You went back to the Mortal Realm and threw away your Imperial Destiny just to sever some so-called family ties. I was worried you might come and destroy the Demon Seed, but your Yonglu Mountain has cut off its own path to survival."
At this point, "Shen Lü" could not help growing smug. "You gave up your greatest advantage for the sake of so-called cultivation. Do you regret it now?"
That was an Imperial Destiny. Though it belonged to a mortal life, such a Destiny Pattern might not appear once in a thousand years. And Wen Xu himself was so gifted that, had he not strayed into the Cultivation Realm, his next incarnation would surely have been as an immortal noble beyond anyone's imagining.
"I don't regret it," Wen Xu said, even with his Destiny Pattern
