My Domain
Mu Yu tirelessly trained in Primordial Yin Yang, paying no attention to how much time had passed as he was on the cusp of ascending to Apotheosis Realm. “To ascend, you need to get a grasp on nature’s laws, and there were millions of them. Your task is to delve deep into one in order to harness it, which will become your domain ability,” was what Ku Mu taught him. Mu Yu had yet to figure out which rule was most compatible with him.
An ordinary human would need to cross a big river or to take a detour to reach the other side. That was a rule. Cultivators learnt to fly so that the rule did not confine them. Apotheosis Realm cultivators, those at the summit of the cultivation world, were those who learn to overcome another rule bounding a cultivator that would otherwise be chained down.
“As someone with precise control over his strength, Archfiend Baiyuan had the best understanding of strength, so his domain focuses on boosting his strength. Archfiend Yujiang is an encyclopedia of aqua life, so he controls water in his domain. Reverend Xuan Jizi’s Retrograde Formation domain can reverse even domains to their original state. Dad’s domain is essentially a poison prison, which pairs well with his poison knowledge. Third Realm Palace’s domains are weaker than my allies, but they’re still troublesome. Domains seem to connect with one’s expertise. What am I good at?”
“Being shameless,” replied Xiaoshuai, running in.
“That’s your specialty, isn’t it?” Mu Yu ribbed. “Would your domain amp up your narcissism? Does everyone in it become gluttons and impervious to blades?”
“I’m impervious to blades even without a domain. Actually, I’m indestructible.”
“Tell me what my unique traits are, then. Think carefully.”
“Hmm…” Xiaoshuai started counting off his fingers. “Philandering, blackmailing me with Momo, starving me, stirring the pot, pulling out baskets… It’s pretty fun, but you’re not as handsome as me, tough as me, don’t appreciate food as much as me, wait, what’s the point of you even being alive?”
Mu Yu clobbered Xiaoshuai. “And that’s what you live for?”
“What else? Is there anything more important than eating?” Xiaoshuai choked out.
“What are my positives?”
“Positives… You don’t snore.”
“And?”
“Your hair is thick.”
“And?”
“Your right hand’s creases look good. Old Fraudster said your creases indicate you will live a wealthy life. My creases indicate I will never have to worry about food. We’re a good team.” Xiaoshuai showed Mu Yu his palm.
“That’s a positive trait?”
“Mm… You have a prominent forehead, and your ophryon shows you’re emotionally steady; however, your brows… brows… are too thick. Old Fraudster said you’re bound to be incredible, but your life will be full of obstacles.”
“That’s it. That’s what Old Fraudster said. How did you know?”
“He told me before. He taught me face reading when I was kid, but I’ve never subscribed to it.”
“Oh yeah, you’re sly.”
“Strategic! Wait a minute… Being killer analytical and having deduction prowess to die for are good traits, aren’t they? If grasping a rule grants a domain ability, then grasping an ability to dismantle them is also a rule. If I have a tool to dismantle domains, I’ll have the upper hand! I’m already getting a small taste of nature’s rules, so I need to push harder to see them in more detail.”
Since Mu Yu went back to meditating, Xiaoshuai left Primordial Yin Yang yawning.
“He think of something?” asked Ku Mu.
Xiaoshuai shook his head. “He said he’s smart, so he’s going to deduce all the rules to figure out his own domain.”
“All of the rules?”
“He’s trying to come up with one that defuses other domains.”
“That’s not realistic.”
“Eh, he thinks it’s worth a try, so he can have at it.”
“It’s not impossible; it’s just unrealistic within a short time frame.” Ku Mu went back into Primordial Yin Yang to talk Mu Yu out of it. Nevertheless, he topped when he sensed an energy signal.
“Dabai and Dahei said Mu Yu shouldn’t be distracted in his current state, or he will suffer mental wounds,” Xiaoshuai translated.
“I can understand them,” Ku Mu stated, tacitly approving of the names Xiaoshuai gave his Primordial Yin Yang.
