Chapter 728 We Don't Believe In Fate, We Only Believe In Ourselves
Did the chicken or the egg come first?

Xu Qingzhi asked suddenly, taking advantage of the opportunity to draw Zhang Ke's attention away from the cycle of 'karma'.

The dazed look in Zhang Ke's eyes faded, and he turned to look at Xu Qingzhi.

He knew that Xu Qingzhi wanted to untie his knot, but this question did arouse his interest, and he fell into deep thought.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Whether it is in the dreamland or the azure world, countless people have been arguing about it since ancient times.

Neither side has ever been able to make a convincing argument for the other.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Ke said:

"First the chicken!"

Before Xu Qingzhi asked that incomprehensible rhetorical question, Zhang Ke continued:
"Just like our names, the surname comes first, which means your origin, from father to father, from father to son, this is the inheritance of blood lineage.

Just as a man and a woman combine to produce offspring, the same way a rooster and a hen touch to produce eggs.

The common name of 'egg' is also called 'chicken'. Judging from the name, whether it is 'egg' or 'chicken', the chicken comes first, indicating that there is a chicken first.

Literally, 'egg' means a chicken laying an egg, and 'chicken' means a chicken's son.

In fact, the ancients have long realized that the chicken came first and then the egg, but it's just a bunch of boring people playing tricks on it. "

As he spoke, he gave Xu Qingzhi a pointed look.

In his memory, someone in the dream seemed to say that the reason why eggs can hatch chicks is because the eggshell is made of a protein called OC-17.

However, this protein is only found in the ovaries of hens, so the theory that there were chickens first is valid.

But this kind of statement couldn't be explained clearly with Xu Qingzhi, so Zhang Ke didn't mention it.

Xu Qingzhi was a little speechless, how could he be despised if he tried to persuade him.

However, with the idle time explained by Zhang Ke, Xu Qingzhi also sorted out his thoughts a little bit.

"Although this question is a bit boring, it is also a display of 'cause and effect'."

Zhang Ke's expression moved, and after careful consideration for a while, he suddenly felt that Xu Qingzhi's words made sense.

There seemed to be a flash of light in his mind, but he couldn't catch it no matter what.

Zhang Ke stood up suddenly, paced back and forth in the hall, desperately pursuing the thought that just flashed in his mind.

'egg? '

'cause and effect? '

While he was in trouble, he heard Xu Qingzhi's soft voice resounding in the hall.

"Once upon a time there was a wise man who was the best at guessing games with others. He had never lost in his life. Do you know why?"

Zhang Ke was thinking about the question of 'cause and effect' in his mind, and asked casually after hearing the words:

"Why?"

Xu Qingzhi smiled lightly.

"Because the opponent came out first!"

Zhang Ke couldn't help being stunned, he didn't expect that this stalk that was played to death in the dream would appear in the Azure Realm at this moment.

"The opponent comes out first, so the wise man has never lost in his life. Sect Leader, do you think this is inevitable or accidental?"

The ideas in Zhang Ke's mind became more and more clear, but there was always a feeling of seeing flowers in a fog.

muttered to himself:
"It's inevitable."

Xu Qingzhi smiled and said:
"Yeah! This is inevitable, but it's not because the wise man disturbed the fate of the other party, so as to guess what the other party will do in advance.

It's because the opponent plays first, and then responds according to the opponent's play, so he will never lose.

Is this fate?
Yes and no!

Say he is, because the result is doomed and cannot be changed.

Saying he isn't because it's a trick, the rules are being changed.

The head of the sect was able to survive the mouth of the snake demon at that time, in fact, it was because of his own efforts, otherwise he would not have been able to survive the rescue of the patriarch.

And the reason why the Patriarch will save you is also because the sect is unwilling to give up because of the excellent performance before the master.

It is true that there is indeed some cause and effect in this, but why is it not because of my own efforts?

Has the leader ever saved someone he didn't know in his life?
These people have never had any contact with the sect leader. Could it be that there is an unknowable existence secretly arranging everything for the sect master to save them?

If it is true, how free are these unknowable beings to pay attention to you all the time?
Is this fate?
It is said that it is because the master has participated in their destiny trajectory, and their mortal fate has been changed.

But is this arranged in advance by the head?

No, it's just a coincidence.

A person shoots an arrow and hits the red heart every time, even with his eyes closed, why?

Because he will make up a red heart where the arrow hits.

Is this cause and effect?
Yes, but in this, the result is the 'cause', and the 'cause and effect' here is reversed.

A small river flows along the planned river course. Is this fate?

Yes, because the outcome is preordained, but in reality it just moves according to delineated rules.

If you change the course of the river ahead, the current will change direction.

Detach your vision from yourself, extend it upwards, come to the universe and then look down.

Self, sect, state domain, border domain, star domain!
There are endless changes in this universe every moment, whether it is creatures or others.

The world a second later will never be the same as it is now.

Is there destiny in this?

Yes, to put it bluntly, fate actually comes from laws, rules, and avenues!
Just like the vortex, as long as you blend into it, you will be affected by it. This is fate and law.

Is it possible that when I am in danger, the head will sit idly by?
Therefore, the head of the sect doesn't need to worry about these 'causes and effects' at all, just act with the heart when things happen.

We are human beings, if we don't embark on the road of practice, our life will only last a hundred years at most.

But now our lifespan has broken the shackles of ordinary people, and our lifespan will become longer and longer as we practice.

If our destiny is only 100 years, then we have already broken it.

Practitioners are originally a group of people who changed their fate against the sky.

We don't believe in destiny, we only believe in ourselves! "

Xu Qingzhi's words were like a ray of light entering Zhang Ke's heart, bright and transparent.

Zhang Ke stared at the top of his head obsessively, the haze accumulated in his heart for a long time finally dissipated, and the bright mirror in Zhang Ke's heart was wiped clean again.

After a long time, he let out a long breath.

"Green branch! Thank you!"

Why are the four key elements on the road of practice 'Fa Cai Lu Lu' so important.

It is when you are in trouble and need someone to help you, this person can lend a helping hand in time.

Right now is the best example.

As Zhang Ke's state of mind became clear, his own ideas burst out, and three illusory spiritual flowers, one gold, one silver, and one lead, suddenly appeared on the top of his head.

Its roots are separated, each of which lives in the void, and the three flowers bloom outward in three directions.

When Zhang Ke's heart knot dissipated, Sanhua suddenly began to spin rapidly above his head, and countless three-color light chips drifted over Zhang Ke's head like smoke and mist.

When the three flowers rotate, the vitality of the void in the hall is attached.

And hundreds of feet above Lingxiao Temple, a translucent vortex of vitality took shape.

The vitality of hundreds of miles around was suddenly disturbed, like sea water being drawn by the vortex in the sea, surging and being involved.

At this moment, countless people in the nine counties of Penglai were alarmed.

Countless cultivators stared at the hundreds of feet of swirling vortex in the sky, secretly guessing.

in the temple.

Zhang Ke didn't control it with his mind at the moment, but silently observed the sudden change of Sanhua.

After the three flowers have rotated ninety-nine and 81 times, their respective rhizomes have been twisted together due to the rotation, and the twigs are coiled to form a whole.

At this time, the three flowers have come out like a single root, gathered together, and their roots are hidden in the 'Niwan Palace' above the 'Baihui Point' on the top of Zhang Ke's head.

According to Taoism, the "Baihui" fontanel above the head is a bridge connecting heaven and earth.

'Niwan Palace' is the place where the gods live and where the spirit gathers.

Zhang Ke has been promoted to Yuanshen for nearly 200 years, and finally at this moment, the energy and spirit are mixed and gathered in one aperture to achieve the "three flowers gather at the top", and the first state of Yuanshen is complete.

The next step is to step into the second realm of the Yuanshen, the 'five qi realm', which requires gathering the five qi in the chest and returning them to their original sources.

With a thought in Zhang Ke's mind, the three flowers on the top of his head spun and disappeared without a trace, and the funnel-shaped vortex of vitality above the hall also dissipated by itself.

At this moment, Zhang Ke suddenly noticed some changes after the 'Three Flowers Gathering'.

First of all, the incorporation of heaven, earth, vitality and inspiration has increased by at least [-]% in terms of speed and quality compared to before the three flowers have not gathered.

This is the foundation of practice, and it determines the speed of a practitioner's cultivation.

Secondly, if you look inside, you can see a congenital qi emanating from an inch of space in front of Zhang Ke's nose.

As his breath continues to be introduced into the body, after running around the sky, it will naturally separate into five strands and integrate into the five internal organs.

On the top of the head, there is also a vitality inspiration that is introduced into the fontanel of Baihui with the rotation of the 'three flowers'.

But there is something different in this vitality, there is an extra burst of vitality, like a clear spring that guides the innate energy in the body to circulate among the five internal organs.

Apart from these two differences, Zhang Ke felt that his mana, soul, and body had also begun to change.

Zhang Ke was delighted, and was about to talk to Xu Qingzhi.

Suddenly, he noticed that seven divine thoughts suddenly appeared in the sky above Xiao Penglai. Obviously, these were all alarmed by the vision just now and came to investigate.

It's just because of the strong restriction in Xiao Penglai, which will do great harm to Yuanshen Zhenjun, so I dare not break in easily.

But these seven divine senses are always circling and cruising in the sky.

Zhang Ke sneered.

This time he went back to the mountain quietly, using the [Phaseless Mask] to cover the aura on his body.

But before at Lingxiao Palace, all the people present were taken away for interrogation, so no one else knew about his return.

Through these unscrupulous divine thoughts, we can know how much sulk the 'Southern Sect' has suffered in these years.

With a flick of his shoulders, Zhang Ke turned into a golden thread and flew out of Lingxiao Temple, directly piercing into the sky two hundred feet above and standing still.

Xu Qingzhi appeared outside the hall in a flash, and flew to the top of the hall in a flash, looking down.

I haven't seen the master make a move for many years, and I just saw it today.

As soon as Zhang Ke's figure appeared in midair, he was immediately spotted by the seven divine senses.

When they saw who the person in front of them was, the masters of the Seven Paths Divine Sense were all taken aback. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ke came back without a sound.

The seven felt bad, and their spiritual thoughts suddenly dissipated.

Zhang Ke pursed his lips and took a deep breath. Using his mana, he activated countless formations of Penglai and Penglai.

Big and small Penglai was built by him personally, and countless formations were laid out in it.

At this time, when he exerted his strength, he saw countless spiritual lights suddenly appeared in various parts of the nine counties of Penglai.

These auras are the centers arranged at various nodes. Once activated, the formations laid at each node will be activated.

First, hundreds to thousands of light spots appear around each node, and then there are countless spiritual lines connecting these spiritual lights together.

The location of Lingxiao Hall is quite high, Xu Qingzhi stood on the top of the hall and looked down.

But every corner of the Nine Counties of Penglai is lit up with bits and pieces of aura, like stars shining everywhere in the sky.

Countless auras entangled and intertwined, condensing countless formations of different sizes.

Just like countless blooming flowers, nested together layer upon layer, completely covering the nine prefectures of Penglai.

Fu Xingxian is a Yuanshen Zhenjun, who came from the fifth-rank sect of Haizhou, the "Five Elements Spirit Sect".

A few years ago, the 'Five Elements Spirit Sect' got a piece of news.

Ruyi Zhenjun Zhang Ke, the head of Laizhou's "Xiantian Yiqi Nanzong", has mastered two powerful five-element spells.

According to the description in the news, the "Five Elements Spirit Sect" feels that these two magic powers of the five elements are like the legendary "five-color divine light" and "the great five-element extinct divine light".

This can't help but amaze the 'Five Elements Spirit Sect'.

You must know that these two kinds of magical powers are something they have dreamed of for thousands of years, and it is unexpected that they will appear in the same person now.

At that time, the Zongmen exploded, and Yuanshen Zhenjun clamored to go to Zhang Kesuo to ask for these two magical powers.

They have prepared a large amount of treasures and resources for exchange.

If Zhang Ke disagrees, the 'Five Elements Spirit Sect' will try to seize it at all costs.

But when they carefully inquired about Zhang Ke's news, they felt that things were a little tricky.

As a fifth-rank sect, the 'Five Elements Spirit Sect' has three Dongtian Zhenjun and 17 Yuanshen Zhenjun in the sect, and their strength is not bad.

But Zhang Ke had killed Dongtian Zhenjun before, and even had the record of capturing many primordial spirits in one fell swoop.

Known as invincible under the Taoist monarch!

This is a downright evil spirit.

Besides him, one of his Taoist companions, Qingmei of the Star Chasing Sword Sect, is even more remarkable.

As early as when it was in the golden core state, it had the title of "Push the Kyushu without opponents, smashing the Hunyuan No. 1".

These two people piled up together, not to mention Yuanshen Zhenjun, even Daojun had to think twice if he wanted to do it.

What's more, Laizhou is not Haizhou, and no matter how powerful he is in Haizhou, it is impossible to cross the ocean to conquer.

It is even more impossible to dispatch Yuanshen Zhenjun on a large scale.

If the 'Yunxiao 33 Heavenly Palace' is really made of mud, it is a high-grade sect with more than one Taoist monarch sitting in it.

Wanting to attack the sect under his rule under his nose is definitely a provocation to the top-rank sect.

At that time, let alone attacking the 'Xiantian Yiqi Sect Southern Sect', I am afraid that even my life will be lost there.

In addition, most of the masters in the sect are fighting in the void at this time, and there are only three Yuanshen Zhenjun who can dispatch them.

The most important thing is that because of the Zerg attack, most of the primordial gods and true monarchs of the sects in the world went to fight in the void.

In order to prevent chaos in the practice world, the world's top sects issued an edict at the same time.

No sect is allowed to attack other sects during the Zerg invasion, and those who violate will be severely punished.

Under the constraints of so many conditions, the 'Five Elements Spirit Sect' is helpless.

After some discussion, the "Five Elements Spirit Sect" decided to send Fu Xingxian to sneak into Penglai Island to play by ear.

It would be best if the cultivation methods of these two supernatural powers can be obtained from the disciples of the 'Southern Sect'.

If not, try to find out the details of the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' so as to facilitate the sect's next steps.

After Fu Xingxian came to Penglai Nine Counties seven years ago, he was deeply shocked.

He had never seen such a vibrant city in his life.

From the daily residence newspaper, Fu Xingxian saw the rapid changes in the nine counties of Penglai, which made him feel scared from the bottom of his heart.

Just like a growing monster, it grows so fast, as if time is speeding up here, and it gets stronger every day.

Fu Xingxian drew a conclusion from the changes in the nine counties of Penglai.

Don't look at the "Five Elements Spirit Sect" is a fifth-rank sect, while the "Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect" is only a ninth-rank sect.

In less than 300 years, the 'Xiantian Yiqi Nanzong' can be beaten according to the 'Five Elements Lingzong'.

He didn't dare to neglect, and immediately passed the news back to the 'Five Elements Spirit Sect'.

Zongmen also attaches great importance to this, and at the same time is inspired by it.

Let him collect the powerful secrets of the 'Southern School' in the nine counties of Penglai, and even try to steal various inventions and creations.

In the past few years, Fu Xingxian has secretly captured more than a dozen disciples of the 'Southern Sect', and also killed two 'Guardian Gods' who saw him attack.

Through soul searching, Fu Xingxian obtained a lot of secrets about the 'Southern Sect'.

Today, he noticed a vortex of vitality suddenly appearing in the sky above Lingxiao Temple. Without knowing why, he wanted to use his spiritual sense to investigate.

This kind of thing is also used to doing in the past few years, and he didn't take it seriously at all.

Who let today's big and small Penglai not have their own Yuanshen Zhenjun to sit in town? As for the Yuanshen Zhenjun who sits here in the "Yunxiao 33 Heavenly Palace" has long been bought.

As long as it's not too much, he won't interfere.

At the same time, the spiritual thoughts of the other six people appeared in the sky above Little Penglai, and they were also true masters of various factions who had the same thoughts as Fu Xingxian.

Unexpectedly, this stabbed the hornet's nest, and actually stabbed Zhang Ke out.

Seeing the other six people's spiritual thoughts disappear without a trace at this time, Fu Xingxian's heart jumped, and he quickly dispersed his spiritual thoughts.

Hiding in a small town to observe the situation, once he finds that the situation is not good, he is ready to use the people of the town as personnel to cover himself and leave.

After Zhang Ke activated the large and small Penglai formations, beside Fu Xingxian, a stone pillar about a foot thick that had not changed for several years began to flash with aura.

This stone pillar has existed since he came to the town. He once inquired that this stone pillar is called 'Hunyuanzi Umbrella' and it was erected decades ago.

Although Fu Xingxian wondered why this stone pillar was called such a name.

But he didn't expect that this stone pillar, which had never changed for decades, would be activated today.

On the twelve-foot-high stone pillar, mottled runes lit up one by one, and platinum-gold auras swayed, intertwined and intertwined.

A circle of spiritual light swayed on the upper end of the stone pillar, and the 360 ​​metal umbrella ribs that closed like an umbrella slowly supported the umbrella surface shining with spiritual light.

A moment later, a large umbrella covering a radius of tens of feet opened on the ground.

'It turns out that this is the Hunyuanzi Umbrella! '

Fu Xingxian scanned with his divine sense, and found that there were nine such 'Hunyuanzi Umbrellas' in this small town.

Looking farther away, almost every village and town has such a "hunyuan sub-umbrella", more or less, small or large, endless.

At first glance, it looks like there are countless mushrooms growing on the land of the nine counties of Penglai.

Fu Xingxian was secretly alert and observed carefully.

When all the 12 "Hunyuanzi Umbrellas" in the nine counties of Penglai were opened, Zhang Ke's right hand suddenly burst into a white-gold aura and struck the small Penglai "Xianrenzhi" mountain peak.

"boom--!"
