Chapter 175: Chapter 174: Battle for Destiny, Finally Becoming the Purple Mansion! (2nd update, please subscribe)
At the moment when all the light faded, there were two broken corpses on the ground.
Not sure how much time passed, probably three days later.
One of the corpses on the ground floated, struggled, and sat up.
Tried to move a bit, but there was no strength at all.
Beside him, the Heaven Mending Cauldron was torn into eight pieces, and the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron also shattered into five pieces.
His body was in severe pain, as if about to be torn apart, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, looked across, and a complex expression flashed in his eyes.
In the last strike, both sides suffered injuries.
Almost perished together.
Fortunately, the last Heaven Mending Qi sustained his life, not letting him take his last breath, and he came back alive forcefully.
Just at this moment, a wisp of green qi flew out from the black-armored youth’s corpse, merging above Lu Xuanji’s head.
In the battle of seizing destiny, the black-armored youth died, and his destiny also fell to Lu Xuanji.
Buzz buzz!
Immediately, the destiny around Lu Xuanji intensified, with the outer layer of the green destiny tinged with a blue hue, transforming into blue destiny.
[Seizing Destiny Successful!]
[Bestowing upon you, the Storage Technique]
At this moment, a voice came, along with a cultivation technique.
[Storage Technique: Hide your own destiny, avoid danger]
Lu Xuanji sensed the cultivation technique, it was quite arcane, and after three days of comprehension, he began to grasp the basics.
As the cultivation technique operated, the green destiny above his head lowered, turning into green.
Continued lowering, turning into yellow.
Finally, it fell to orange.
The destiny of most Purple Mansion cultivators was orange.
At this moment, Lu Xuanji’s destiny was also orange, appearing very ordinary.
Yet at the core of the orange destiny, there was a wisp of purple destiny.
But this wisp of purple destiny was wrapped and concealed by the orange destiny, making it difficult for outsiders to detect.
"My destiny has been hidden!"
Lu Xuanji exclaimed in surprise, feeling a sense of relief.
As the saying goes, extremes breed opposites.
Sometimes having too good a destiny attracts envy and schemes from strong individuals, leading to catastrophic fates.
Appropriately hiding one’s own destiny, appearing ordinary, can instead avoid some calamities.
At this moment, the destiny is hidden, becoming an ordinary cultivator’s destiny, not too outstanding, which means safety.
At this time, the voice came again.
[The twelfth difficulty of the Purple Mansion is called the Difficulty of Cause and Effect.]
[The Difficulty of Cause and Effect is a future calamity]
[Heaven and earth nurture all beings, how do beings repay heaven and earth?]
[If in the future your cultivation succeeds, you should protect this world; if you become immortal, you should give back to this world]
[Are you willing?]
"I am willing!"
Lu Xuanji nodded.
The world nurtures and gives rise to the Heavenly Dao.
The Heavenly Dao is emotionless, but not without desires.
Under the subconsciousness of the world, numerous cultivators, sons of destiny, and immortals are cultivated to protect this realm and strengthen this realm.
The Difficulty of Cause and Effect is about promising the Heavenly Dao to protect and strengthen this realm.
If this realm perishes, a cultivator’s Daoxin would be tainted, making the Great Dao difficult to achieve.
This is a future calamity, which some cultivators may never encounter in a lifetime.
Later, the scenery around changed, returning to the cave mansion, and Lu Xuanji’s aura changed, stepping into the Purple Mansion Realm.
After endless years and numerous calamities, the twelve great difficulties, it finally achieved the Purple Mansion.
Calculating with fingers, he was now one hundred eighty-three years old.
With the advancement to Purple Mansion, the lifespan increased to four hundred eighty years, which meant he had another three hundred years of life, yet another long period to enjoy.
...
At the moment of walking out of the cave mansion, he happened to meet the Grand Elder.
Seeing Lu Xuanji step into the Purple Mansion, the Elder repeatedly said good three times, then laughed loudly, and then cried intensely.
Seemed almost hysterical.
In the clan, other cultivators were also rejoicing, as if celebrating the New Year.
The Lu Family had produced a second Purple Mansion, which was of great significance.
This meant the Lu Family’s situation was more stable.
The whole clan was celebrating and rejoicing, yet Lu Xuanji felt an emptiness inside, directly left here, heading towards Purple Sun Mountain.
Arriving at Purple Sun Mountain, he saw Ancestor Jin again.
Ancestor Jin exclaimed in surprise, "You stepped into the Purple Mansion realm? You’re being reckless? Doing so would leave your foundation flawed, stepping into the Purple Mansion realm, trying to compensate will cost heavily... wait, you’re an Upper Grade Purple Mansion!"
"It was just a fluke, a fluke stepping into the Purple Mansion!"
Lu Xuanji said calmly.
"You are quite exceptional!"
Ancestor Jin said.
"Wanyi, has she emerged from seclusion?" Lu Xuanji stepped forward and asked.
"Not that quick! Her aptitude isn’t as good as yours, she can only spend more time refining True Qi, clearing Acupoints and meridians, these are all time-consuming tasks, it would take at least fifty years!" Ancestor Jin said, "It has been just thirty years, still needs twenty more years to emerge!"
"Fifty years, that is such a long time!"
Lu Xuanji remarked.
This recent seclusion of thirty years already felt somewhat lengthy.
"To impact the Upper Grade Purple Mansion, one must refine the True Essence to the Sixth Layer, without using elixirs, it requires a hundred and eighty years; to completely open all Acupoints and meridians, without using elixirs, it requires a thousand years!" Ancestor Jin said, "If using Pure Yang Pill, Purple Mansion Pill, Nirvana Pill, etc., it still requires two hundred years. With the aid of the Pure Yang Pool, Marrow Cleansing Pool, Nirvana Pool, etc., the time can be shortened to a hundred years."
"In our Purple Sun Mountain, one must step into the Ninth-Layer of Foundation Establishment before the age of one hundred thirty to possibly forge an Upper Grade Purple Mansion. After one hundred thirty, one can only forge Lower, Middle Grade Purple Mansion."
Originally, Ye Wanyi could only condense a Middle Grade Purple Mansion, but due to awakening an anomaly before the Purple Mansion, she instead had a slight chance to forge an Upper Grade Purple Mansion, which would also take fifty years!"
"Thank you, Ancestor!"
Lu Xuanji expressed gratitude.
"I calculated, you needed at least seventy years to step into the Purple Mansion. But now it only took thirty years, the time doesn’t add up?" Ancestor Jin pondered, realizing his calculation was wrong, finding a deviation.
"I’m quite special!"
Lu Xuanji said.
"True Essence, refined to which layer?" Ancestor Jin asked nonchalantly, yet internally felt a bit competitive, geniuses always like to compare with geniuses.
"Refined to the Third Layer!"
"Refined to the Third Layer, not as good as my..." Ancestor Jin started but couldn’t finish.
Back then, she refined to the Fifth Layer, considered a miracle.
This was still with the support of the Immortal Sword Body, without which, at most it would be the Sixth Layer.
After reaching the Fifth Layer, she attempted to go further but gave up.
As it was the limit, even refining for a hundred years, a thousand years, was still the Third Layer.
"Quite impressive!" Ancestor Jin asked, "How many years to open all meridians?"
"Ten years and three months!"
Lu Xuanji said.
"Impossible, I spent a full twenty years, and that was with the help of a Fifth Grade array." Ancestor Jin doubted, "Ten years, completely impossible."
"Why impossible!"
Lu Xuanji said, "I have my ways, the way is to enhance spiritual pressure, creating a small Immortal Realm!"
