Chapter 370: Chapter 369: Reversing the River of Fate (First Update, Please Subscribe)
What is the Great Dao?
The Great Dao governs all space-time, all existence, all cause and effect, all laws, all destiny, representing the immeasurable, the unfathomable, the unpredictable.
The manifestation of the Great Dao is the River of Destiny.
Ordinary cultivators cannot escape the River of Destiny, being controlled by fate; those with profound cultivation can avoid fate, seek fortune, and avoid disaster. Those even more profound can reduce their own cause and effect, choosing the better path from many future destiny lines.
As for top-tier powers, they can leap out of the River of Destiny, unaffected by its currents, untouched by any calamities.
The so-called Golden Core Twelfth Transformation is to glimpse the River of Destiny, to glimpse one’s own future.
"Is this the Golden Core Twelfth Transformation? To glimpse the ultimate destiny, to see one’s future!"
Lu Xuanji pondered.
The River of Destiny has countless branches, countless possibilities, representing countless changes.
Scenes appeared one after another.
In one scene, he did not meet Ye Feixue or Jin Xi; after the Lu Family’s extermination, he wandered and died at the hands of a loose cultivator;
In another scene, he met Ye Feixue, and the Lu Family adopted her. However, Ye Feixue’s identity as a Celestial Spirit Root was exposed, attracting demon cultivators, leading to the Lu Family’s extermination, and he also perished in the calamity;
In another scene, he didn’t meet Jin Xi, and the Lu Family was besieged by several cultivation immortality clans, heading towards destruction, and he also died in a bloody battle.
In one scene, he did not condense the Pure Yang Dao Body, faced limited potential, failed to ascend to the Purple Mansion, and perished on the spot;
In another scene, he died in a beast tide, slain by a Golden Core Demon Beast.
Countless scenes appeared, representing countless futures, countless possibilities.
In some scenes, he died at the Golden Core stage, others at the Divinity Transformation stage, and some during Tribulation Crossing.
Among the many destinies, in the best possible future path, he encountered fortuitous opportunities, continuous good fortune, was favored by beauties, received assistance from noble figures, and advanced vigorously, becoming a Harmonization powerhouse.
At the moment of challenging the Ninefold Immortal Tribulation, he died in calamity.
Turned to ashes.
"Is this my future? I am unwilling! I will search endless futures for a supreme path, a path to immortality, a path to supremacy, a path where heaven and earth perish but I remain, the sun and moon extinguish but I endure!"
At this moment, Lu Xuanji completely understood the mysteries of the Golden Core Twelfth Transformation.
Golden Core Twelfth Transformation, sensing the River of Destiny, sensing the countless destiny branches of a cultivator, countless futures, countless possibilities.
Cultivators can take advantage of this opportunity to modify their fate, choosing a bright future from countless possibilities.
What a creation, what a taboo!
No wonder cultivators through the ages said it cannot be spoken of.
This is almost an opportunity to defy the heavens and change fate.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The essence, qi, and spirit of Lu Xuanji burned, gaining deeper insight into the River of Destiny, seeing more futures, from dozens of branches to hundreds of branches.
Among the many destiny branches, he saw one branch where he peacefully overcame the Ninefold Immortal Tribulation and ascended to the Immortal Realm.
As for the future after becoming immortal, he could no longer see.
With a thought, he was about to choose this destiny branch in the endless void, determining his future.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
At this moment, the long-silent cell phone appeared.
The phone flickered, entering the River of Destiny, transforming into a small boat.
Waves surged, the torrent of destiny swept in, seemingly about to engulf the small boat, yet the boat wobbled and steadfastly withstood the impact of fate.
The surrounding scenes changed, and Lu Xuanji found himself on the small boat.
The small boat had no oars, no sail, yet it traveled upstream, against the River of Destiny, moving towards the distant past.
The river water gurgled, the small boat advanced.
Lu Xuanji looked into the river, seeing many scenes, saw an ancestor of the Lu Family merely at the second level of Foundation Establishment, yet founding the cultivation immortality clan, the Lu Family;
In the Central State, powerful enemies besieged, the Jin Family was annihilated, Jin Xi fled; Dan Yang Celestial Venerable emerged from a loose cultivator background but experienced a fortuitous encounter, becoming a powerful Divinity Transformation cultivator and founding the Dan Yang Sect;
The Six Desires Demon Venerable, originally a shepherd boy who entered a secret realm, gained the legacy of predecessors, and founded the Joyful Union Demon Vein in Yue Country.
Then he saw the Venerable Ancestor of the Joyful Union Sect mistakenly enter the sect, yet walked a different path, suppressed the world with the Pure Yang Sword, restrained all female cultivators with the Chaotic Yin Ring, captured the world’s women with the Beauty Diagram;
Then he saw the Emperor of Reincarnation rise from humility, becoming a Harmonization powerhouse in five hundred years, and stormed Sword Island, a Supreme Immortal Sect was annihilated overnight;
Then he saw the Pure Yang Daoist Monarch invincible all the way, sweeping across the land, undefeated in life, breaking through the Ninefold Immortal Tribulation, and ascending to the Immortal Realm.
Legendary figures emerged, a panorama unfolded, watching the river of fate flow, like flipping through history books, watching annals, legends, epic scrolls.
Feeling his blood boil, Lu Xuanji yearned to become one of them.
Swish! Swish!
The river flowed, the small boat traveled upstream, seeing a scene in the waters.
In the endless void, a Daoist stood, with a finger pointing, water, earth, wind, and fire surged, cosmic rules changed, endless energy gathered, numerous laws coalesced, causes and effects entwined, gradually evolving into a Great World.
The Immortal Realm was born.
The cosmos originally lacked a center, but due to the birth of the Immortal Realm, it forcibly gained a center.
The Immortal Realm expanded, gradually becoming the center of the cosmos, becoming an absolute Great World.
Countless talents ascended to the Immortal Realm, competing fiercely.
Swish! Swish!
The river flowed, and the scene disappeared.
The River of Destiny, eternally flowing, witnessing unparalleled talents rise and countless others fade.
The River of Destiny witnessed many talents rise, only to see them fade away one by one.
Many eras are not recorded in history books.
Many talents vanished in the River of Destiny.
Swish!
Suddenly, the small boat reversed its course, gradually reaching the end of the River of Destiny.
In this era, the cosmos had just been created, Yin Yang Qi had not yet divided, chaotic energy filled everything, the cosmos was desolate, yet laws were being nurtured, suns, moons, and stars were being born, life and all things were being created.
This was the Taiji Era.
Swish!
The small boat traveled backward, passing through the Taiji Era, Taixu Era, and Taishi Era.
Finally, reaching the end of the River of Destiny, the Taiyi Era.
In the void, there was a cosmic singularity, spraying countless particles into endless void, turning into pure destruction.
Watching this scene, Lu Xuanji’s mind surged.
During the Taiyi Era, there was only the cosmic singularity and the primordial particles ejected from it;
In the Taichu Era, the cosmic singularity disappeared, leaving intangible qi, without any cause and effect, without laws, only chaotic energy existed.
During the Taishi Era, the cosmos was chaotic, yet life began to emerge, innate demon gods were being nurtured, and primitive laws were being formed.
In the Taixu Era, the initial cosmic space took shape, giving birth to primitive causes and effects, primitive order.
During the Taiji Era, Yin and Yang had not yet fully separated, stars were just being born, and the world was barren.
After experiencing the Taiji Era, the cosmos fully coalesced, stars formed, ten thousand paths evolved completely, innate demon gods were born, and all things evolved.
Entering the era of the innate demon gods’ struggle for supremacy.
Then, entering the era of postnatal beings, the human race was born, along with the demon race, demon race, barbarian race, and various other races, competing for dominance until the present era.
