Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Destiny-Chapter 412: It Really Is Him
“Amitabha, Star Sacrificial Master is too polite. If there’s anything I can assist with, I will certainly not shirk my duty.”
Blue Cloud Venerable wore a gentle smile.
This Shao Ming, who presides over Propriety, controls all ceremonies for the world and the divine, and thus he is called the Star Sacrificial Master.
Shao Ming bowed deeply: “It is so. We have heard that the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony has been reborn and has been Forged by others. Furthermore, we’ve heard of the unrivaled strength of Karma Destiny within the Buddhist Sect, which can trace the effects back to their causes. Therefore, we have come specifically to request assistance… Should we find it, we shall express our profound gratitude!”
“Does the Star Sacrificial Master seek my aid in finding the successor to the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony?”
Blue Cloud Venerable suddenly understood.
Upon hearing who it was, he had a guess in his mind, but he didn’t expect it to be stated so directly.
“Yes!” Shao Ming nodded his head.
Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult for the Five Ceremonies, being branches of the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony, to locate the main Heavenly Destiny. However, Karma Destiny is different;once the cause is known, the effect can be traced, which may assist them.
Consequently, upon hearing that Blue Cloud Venerable was staying here, they immediately came to seek him out.
“Amitabha, I’d also like to help, but unfortunately… there is no karmic connection between me and the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony, and even if I wanted to take action, I’m unable to assist.”
With downcast eyes, Blue Cloud Venerable’s expression was neutral, showing no sign of shame for telling a lie.
“The Venerable may not have a karmic connection with that successor, but we do share one with him. Is it possible for you to use our connection to locate this person?”
Shao Ming offered a gentle smile.
The next moment, a barefooted woman stepped forward, and a Zen Bead in the palm of her hand shone brightly, illuminating the entire room.
“Is this our Buddhist… Calming Spirit Zen Bead?”
Miao Neng Zen Master was startled and couldn’t help but exclaim.
The Calming Spirit Zen Bead, constantly held by high monks, has absorbed the power of their Heavenly Destiny Power and can quiet the Primordial Spirit and dispel distracting thoughts, greatly aiding those who practice Buddhism.
Furthermore, once deployed, it can cause significant harm to Demon Cultivators.
If the Blue Cloud Venerable had had this item when he was Forging the Essence Pill of the Frost Demon Lord, perhaps it could have prevented the latter’s self-destruction ahead of time.
“Correct, my siblings and I came across it unintentionally. If the Venerable can help us, this Calming Spirit Zen Bead can be returned to its rightful owners, allowing it to exert greater effects!”

Shao Ming smiled lightly.
“Since the Star Sacrificial Master has spoken thus, it would not be right for this old monk to continue refusing…” Blue Cloud Venerable, with an indifferent yet slight smile, said, “However, I shall not take the Zen Bead. It just so happens that there is a matter for which I may need to trouble the group of you.”
“There is no obstacle, Venerable;please speak freely,” said Shao Ming.
Blue Cloud Venerable slowly raised his head: “This poor monk came to Tianli City in pursuit of a great demon! This creature is sly and deceitful, and if you could help me locate them, I would be immensely grateful.”
He had been worrying about how to find the fleeing Essence Pill, and here they were, offering their help.
As the one who controls the Five Ceremonial Destinies, although not under the jurisdiction of the Tianli Dynasty, there is a close connection with it. Having them take the lead could facilitate the search for places where Demonic Qi has leaked out.
“Who could compel the Venerable to take action himself? May I know who this demon is?” asked Shao Ming, curious.
Blue Cloud Venerable nodded: “It is none other than the Frost Demon Lord from Blood Venerate Demon Emperor’s tutelage… Rest assured, I have already destroyed his corpse, and he has fled in the form of an Essence Pill! This poor monk does not seek direct aid, only the identification of areas in the city where Demonic Qi has leaked out, for which I would be most grateful.”
“This task is simple!”
Shao Ming and his siblings exchanged glances before nodding: “We agree to this!”
“Very well… Please provide the karmic object so I may begin the calculation!”
Blue Cloud Venerable chuckled lightly.
“Hmm!”
Shao Ming flipped his wrist, and a long robe appeared in front of him: “This is the robe worn by our grandteacher Zhou Ji. Since that person has received his heritage, there must be a powerful karmic connection with the grandteacher… I hope you can lend your help, Venerable.”
Blue Cloud Venerable took the robe with his hand but did not immediately search for the person. Instead, he chuckled and then gazed over: “To employ the Law of Karma, one not only needs the blessings from the Bodhisattva Buddha statue but also has to adjust one’s mental state, concentrate, and calm the mind. If you all trust me enough, leave this magic robe with me. By this time tomorrow, I will inform you of the results!”
“The Venerable is widely respected across the land;we naturally trust you!” Shao Ming nodded and gestured to his companions, “Let’s go!”
“Yes!”
The remaining four once again paid their respects and turned to leave.
Upon leaving the room, the barefoot girl couldn’t help but look back: “Boss, is it really okay to leave the ancestral robe behind like this?”
Shao Ming shook his head: “Don’t worry, Blue Cloud Venerable is a high monk of the Buddhist Sect. He wouldn’t covet a mere robe.”
The flowing-cloud-sleeved woman chuckled: “It’s just a robe, nothing of great concern. The main issue is that Heavenly Destiny successor. All of our cultivation is subject to his. Even if he tries to conceal himself, we would not be able to detect him even if he stood right before us. I fear only Karma Destiny will help us find him…”
The barefoot girl asked, “What do we do once we find him?”
Before the flowing-cloud-sleeved woman could answer, the middle-aged man in armor snorted coldly: “What else can we do? The Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony has always belonged to us;the most core inheritance should be ours too. Surely we won’t be controlled by a mere junior after all our cultivation level? Once we find him, if he obediently surrenders the Heavenly Destiny, we can spare his life. If he refuses… then we’ll kill him and strip it away!”
“Leave his soul to me, I want to torment it properly…”
The middle-aged man holding the Soul Summoning Banner sneered with a twinkle in his eyes.
After a moment of hesitation, the barefoot girl ultimately said nothing.
The branch destinies must obey the main destiny. They are known as the Five Forms Venerable Sage, already accomplished and revered. How could they possibly obey some unknown and unseen junior!
…
“Effortlessly obtained!”
Looking at the robe in front of him, Blue Cloud Venerable had a smile on his face.
His karmic connection with the inheritor of the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony was very weak, only revealing that the other party could be found in Tianli City. He thought it would take a long time to find him through slow investigation.
He didn’t expect to be sent a pillow while dozing off. This Five Forms Venerable Sage brought such an important item to him.
With the help of this item, he will certainly be able to determine the exact location of the person and thereby identify who it is.
At that time, directly bringing him back to the Buddhist Sect would suffice to report to the Buddha Lord.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the formation in the courtyard activated, cloaking all auras, and then he once more set up the statues of the eight Bodhisattvas.
After a series of worship, a faint light emerged on the robe, which then soared upward in the blink of an eye, shooting straight towards the exterior of the hall.
“This karma is indeed dense…”
Seeing the brightness of the light, even more dazzling than with his connection to the Frost Demon Lord, Blue Cloud Venerable could not help but sigh, striding out into the air.
After flying for a few meters, he involuntarily stopped.
He saw the light shooting out from their small courtyard, falling straight into the neighboring yard, and then the trace disappeared in an instant.
“It really is him…”
Stroking his beard, Blue Cloud Venerable nodded solemnly, his eyes filled with gravity.
