Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 106: First Time Fishing in the Void
Jing Qian was determined to obtain the [Sacrificial Spiritual Energy] as it was related to his progress in Taoism, so he had no choice but to pay attention to it.

He also got all the details about the academy banquet from the jade slips provided to him by Fan Zhuoyi.

Under normal circumstances, with his current background, he would have no problem getting a bit of [sacrificial aura] at the academy's banquet and choosing the top-level Dharma lineage he wanted to go to.

However, he just wanted to go to [Chunyang Ruins]!
Jing Qian personally experienced the strangulation of Chi Ling by the [Blood River Sect] and the [Impermanence Temple], and could roughly guess which sects were targeting the [Chun Yang Ruins].

However, after carefully studying the information in his hands, he realized that this was not a simple targeting, but a desperate stranglehold of [Chun Yang Ruins] by several sects!

The purpose is to completely cut off the last remaining inheritance of [Chun Yang Tian].

The information in his hands showed that in the past three hundred years, there were only four disciples in the entire [Chunyang Ruins] who were admitted through the academy's banquet.

Moreover, all four of them unfortunately died for various reasons.

According to the information, it is not recommended for any disciple of the Fan family to choose [Chunyang Ruins] as their target. It is evaluated as a very dangerous place, and there is no return once you go there.

This is in stark contrast to all other top-level Dharma lineages.

However, for Jing Qian, among the twelve top-level magic lineages, [Chun Yang Xu] had long caught his eye.

For Jing Qian, going to [Chun Yang Ruins] to experience the truly powerful swordsmanship is an unchangeable wish that unifies his mind, unwavering will and clear thoughts.

The path of seeking the truth is not a joke. It cannot be easily changed, chosen, or compromised.

Even though he saw the cause and effect of [Chun Yangxu], he didn't care at all. In fact, he felt more motivated to challenge himself.

We sword cultivators must rise to the challenge and confront it head-on!
Jing Qian secluded himself for a full ten days before he completely integrated the [Life-Locking Needle] into his own system.

At this time, Fan Zhuoyan had been waiting outside his door for a long time.

Jing Qian called Xiao Fan in, and Xiao Fan said:
"Brother, I have completed the burning of my body to determine my fate and awakened my innate [fate]. I have come to ask you to cast a spell for me to remove another [life-locking needle]!"

Jing Qian nodded, and then used the [Fortune Telling Technique] again to check Xiao Fan's condition.

【Fan Zhuoyan】

[Lifespan: 94 years]

[Destiny number: 5 liang 3 qian / 6 liang 8 qian]

[Life Points: 7] (White Fang)

[Inspiration: Life-locking Needle*2]

【Fate: Weaving Thunder (Gold)】

This kid has really turned bad luck around! His luck has completely changed!

After burning his body to determine his fate for the second time, he actually awakened an extremely powerful [Golden Root] of fate, and his [Life Essence] cultivation also increased greatly.

After Jing Qian dealt with the second [Life-Locking Needle] for him, he immediately became a potential genius who had completed the [Spiritual Inspiration forging destiny].

Jing Qian was happy to help others, and without hesitation he activated the destiny of [Entangled Cause and Effect] and pulled out a [Life-Locking Needle] from him.

This time, he did not strip away the [inspiration], but assisted Xiao Fan to perfectly integrate his new [Thunder Weaving] destiny with the [Life-Locking Needle].

Looking at Xiao Fan's [Destiny], it suddenly dropped to:

【2 liang/6 liang 8 qian】

His cultivation potential has undergone a qualitative improvement!
When Xiao Fan woke up from his meditation, he felt the lively [life essence] in his body and the stable and broad sea of ​​consciousness, and he felt that his practice had changed a lot.

More importantly, the golden needle [Inspiration] in his hand has become his most powerful weapon!

Compared with his sister, this [Thunder Weaving] fate and [Life-Locking Needle] inspiration are not only extremely compatible, but also just happen to bless his offensive methods.

He just casually swung his hand, using electromagnetic force to drive the golden needle, and unleashed an extremely powerful super-electromagnetic cannon!

Jing Qian was delighted to see the prey, and raised his hand to shoot out a [Skinning] sword light, slashing towards the super-electromagnetic cannon.

The two collided in the air, causing a violent fluctuation of magic power, which directly knocked Xiao Fan off his feet.

Jing Qian said:
"Your system is quite powerful! Even an ordinary Dragon Elephant cultivator is no match for a single shot from you!"

"You need to refine another [Life Grid] to unlock the second [Life Locking Needle]."

"By then, with two needles in hand, our offensive capabilities will be further enhanced."

"However, in order to maximize the conservation of [life], the higher the grade of this [life grid], the better!"

He personally created a powerful [Lingjizi]. Although he could not compare with him, he was able to kill ordinary [Dragon Elephant] directly after his promotion, which showed that he had unlimited potential.

Fan Zhuoyan was extremely excited and thanked Jingqian for his help again. He then said:
"Thank you for your guidance, big brother. I will go back and try my best to refine the [Fate]!"

"I also want to attend this year's academy banquet with my elder brother!"

Jing Qian nodded and replied:
"Then you have to work harder. There's only half a year left. If I go to practice in the Dharma lineage, it will be much more troublesome for you to find me to remove the needles."

After hearing this, Fan Zhuoyan immediately said goodbye and left to study a new [Fate] practice.

After seeing him leave, Jing Qian also immediately escaped into the [virtual world].

He came to the Good Corn, bent down, flicked its head to wake it up, and said:
"Xiaomi, are you ready for your fishing?"

"I've got my hook and line ready, let's try fishing the void!"

Good Corn, who had just finished eating the Elephant Jade and was sleeping soundly, woke up in a daze and became hysterical for a while before speaking:
"I already did it!"

"Just waiting for you!"

Jing Qian then took out his [Life-Locking Needle], handed it to it, and said:

"Let's get started!"

I saw [Good Corn] bend down its three-inch body and use its corn head to directly hit the golden needle in front of it.

The only corn seed was put on the fishhook prepared by Jingqian.

Above the [Life-Locking Needle], a thin thread of cause and effect is wrapped around it, extending all the way to Jing Qian's hand.

He lifted the baited fishhook in front of him, felt it, and found that the two were tightly connected and could not be shaken off.

And above that corn, a wisp of pure Tao rhyme quietly emanated, like an elixir.

Even with Jing Qian's great concentration, he almost couldn't help but move forward, as if the corn kernels were some kind of precious treasure.

[Good Corn] is definitely a top-notch bait for fishing in the void. From shape to spirit, it is perfectly matched.

"Then I'll start!"

Jing Qian spoke quite seriously.

But seeing that [Good Corn] twisting her waist with an expression of great anticipation, she said:
"Start! Start!"

"My dad said so, I can definitely do it!"

"My father caught a top-three dragon on his first fishing trip. I must surpass him!"

"Cough! Cough!"

Jing Qian almost choked on his saliva and couldn't help but complain:

"Just catch it for your father!"

Having said that, he was still very much looking forward to his first time fishing in the void!

It is said in "Guerrilla Warfare on Rivers, Lakes and Seas" that the method of fishing in the void is not something that only second-grade masters can master.

As long as one controls a cave heaven and holds a spatial attribute [Golden Root] destiny, one will be qualified to break through the limitations of the realm and ascend to the intersection of time and space in the heavens and all realms.

If combined with the right techniques and fishing gear, even a cultivator of the lower three ranks can try fishing in the void.

Jing Qian's [Sumeru] and [Xujie] have exceeded this standard.

However, with his cultivation level, fishing in the void is quite risky. Oftentimes, it is difficult to tell whether he is fishing or feeding the fish!
Behind such high cost investment and risk-taking, Fishing in the Void can be regarded as the most advanced method of obtaining resources.

The powerful creatures fished out from other realms must carry a huge amount of vitality and magic power, and even various precious [inspirations].

For anglers, these are extremely rare resources.

In addition, by using the method of fishing in the void, you can secretly plot against the enemy who has taken the bait and drag him into your own cave, which will make the enemy experience the death ravages of his physical body crossing the void.

Coupled with the suppression of the cave itself, this fishing in the void will inevitably mean a hunt where the weak defeat the strong.

For ordinary monks, fishing is just a piece of cake if they advance one or even two levels!
Moreover, not a single bit of vitality or a drop of blood or flesh of the prey caught will be wasted.

It also comes with the breath of time and space from another world, which is particularly beneficial to the growth of the cave.

In the countless years of cultivation history, many powerful monks have come one after another to study the methods and ways of fishing in the void, and countless experiences have been passed down.

The fishing tradition that Jing Qian inherited from the second-grade [True Corn] can be regarded as the culmination of them all.

He followed the map, did his best to gather the necessary fishing gear, and finally gave it a try!

He was seen making a strange spell with his hands, using the power of [Sumeru] to stimulate the origin of [the virtual world].

In a flash, his spiritual consciousness rose infinitely, and in a blink of an eye he arrived at a place where time and space intersected.

The whole process was incredibly smooth, a manifestation of the power of [Sumeru]'s destiny rank.

This place is like a chaotic tide, surging in the boundless sky above the [Void].

Jing Qian emerged holding the [Life-Locking Needle] wrapped with the thread of cause and effect. Then, following the experience and instruction of his predecessors, he threw the fishhook in his hand out.

Under the guidance of the secret method, the fishhook with a corn kernel hanging on it drilled into the intersection of time and space and disappeared without a trace.

The other end of the fishing line was tied by Jing Qian to the [Void Furnace] and fixed very securely.

Next, it’s the turn of [Good Corn] to work!
It twisted its waist, gradually rubbing against the fishing line, extending a slender root and resting it on the line. Then, it imbued the line with its unique magical power, sensing the bait it had grown at the end of the line, and began the most important step in fishing in the void: catching the fish!

Whether you will be a successful fighter or become rich overnight depends on this opportunity!

At the same time, Jing Qian had already returned from the intersection of time and space, brewing a [Bone-Picking] sword energy, and squatting side by side with the kitten Qili beside the [Good Corn]. Looking at the small seedling in front of them, they were pulling the fishing line with great seriousness.

Qi Li asked:
"Sir, is it reliable? It looks so thin and fragile, like a bean sprout."

"It's okay. If it's unreliable, I'll return the Yin Qi core to you in the future."

After hearing this, Qili immediately became excited. Evil thoughts surged in his heart, and he began to madly curse the little corn seedling in front of him.

Jing Qian continued to pick up "Guerrilla Warfare on Rivers, Lakes and Seas", looking through the various precious knowledge recorded in it, and comparing it with the operations of "Good Corn".

A considerable amount of space is devoted to recording the techniques of manipulating the fishing line during fishing in the void, and it is vividly named "The Art of Controlling the String".

Things like nine shallow and one deep, slow lifting and fast pulling, etc., are already quite clever fishing methods that can greatly reduce the probability of catching nothing.

Jing Qian saw that Hao Yumi was manipulating the bow very well, and thought that the other party had learned the art from a family and was born with the ability to control the bow.

But after looking at it carefully for a long time, I was speechless to find that this corn seedling actually couldn't do anything and was just messing around.

It's just that the performance is quite realistic.

Little did he know that the [good corn] had been growing on the forehead of the [real corn] for many years, and that when he was still a seed, he had witnessed his father's manipulation of the fishing line countless times.

Of course, the actual effect cannot be guaranteed, but the serious look and the demeanor of a fishing master are indeed learned perfectly.

Jing Qian no longer had any hope and just treated it as a chance to practice.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened!

"coming soon!"

【Good Corn】suddenly straightened:
"[Blind Hell] Second Level, Northeast Xun Position, Master, raise the pole after thirty breaths!"

The fishing line trembled violently, and blood-red ripples appeared in the void.

"What the hell is that? You're talking in your sleep again!"

This little thing even imitates its father in how it speaks. It's pure nonsense.

Jing Qian didn't care about anything else. When he reeled in the line, he used the destiny of [Entanglement of Cause and Effect] to control the fishing line and pulled it suddenly. He felt that the originally light line of cause and effect suddenly became extremely heavy.

Jing Qian and [Good Corn] are in the novice protection period of two-person combination.

The first time I fished in the void, I caught a big fish!

……

In the southwest sea of ​​[Hatogen Realm], there is an extremely high mountain.

On top of this mountain, clouds have been rubbing against each other for years, striking down countless lightning bolts that cover the entire mountain range. Beneath the lightning bolts are large bird nests.

This is the breeding ground of the [Thunderbird] clan. There are two fourth-grade [Star Picking], seven fifth-grade [Earth Evil] and one [Fu Ling] monster practicing here.

Among the many Thunderbirds, one stood out.

This [Thunderbird] is the only one of the sixth rank and is the weakest in the clan.

I don't know what kind of blood it has, but it is completely bald, without a single hair.

It is completely different from other birds of the same species. Its entire body is dazzling purple and extremely beautiful.

It is precisely because of this that it is ostracized by the Thunderbird clan, has the slowest resource acquisition rate, and has a very difficult time practicing.

If it had not been hatched in front of many Thunderbirds, it would have been driven out long ago.

One day, the bald-haired Thunderbird, which was lying in its nest and accumulating thunder magic power, suddenly felt a unique spatial fluctuation.

It couldn't help but use its own magic power to greet the spatial fluctuations.

In the blink of an eye, a crystal clear seed was taken out from the hidden corner of the void.

The bald [Thunderbird] is naturally also a connoisseur!

It only took one glance at the seed to know that it was at least of the upper third grade, extremely rare and precious.

And this also made it extremely excited!
Was his luck finally about to change? To think that such a precious treasure would throw itself into his arms!

Once he could refine it thoroughly, his cultivation would definitely be greatly improved.

At this moment, a Thunderbird, much smaller than him, suddenly appeared, grabbed him and knocked him to the ground with one claw, then stood on his head, looking at him with contempt:
"Wu Mao, where did you steal this [Void True Seed]?"

"This treasure belongs to me. You are not worthy of it with your talent!"

After saying that, the smaller [Thunderbird] swallowed the hairless Tongtian Jiyuan into its stomach in one gulp!

As a new generation of the Thunderbird clan, this little bird has much higher cultivation and status than Wumao.

Not only is he gifted with a powerful bloodline, he has also awakened a destiny [Si Lei], and when he was promoted to [Di Sha], he was favored by the Great Dao and obtained a title bestowed by heaven.

The so-called "Heaven-granted title" is the favor and recognition of the Great Dao for true geniuses. This kind of favor bestowed by the Great Dao is a dual recognition of cultivation potential and superb combat power.

There are countless races in the heavens and worlds, and only those who can obtain the title can be called the true seeds of the Great Dao.

This little [Thunderbird] was blessed with a low-grade title of [Son of Thunder], which was extremely consistent with its attributes and could greatly enhance its [Thunder Control] destiny, making it more powerful in combat and easier to practice.

If it is a [Earthly Evil] with a low-grade title, it means that its combat power and status are equivalent to that of an untitled [Star Picking].

Even within the Thunderbird clan, the Son of Thunder's status was higher than that of another untitled Thunderbird, the Star-Picking.

Therefore, it robbed Wumao's cultivation resources at will, and no one cared at all.

As soon as the extremely precious [Void True Seed] entered the belly of the [Thunderbird], it turned into a pure magic power, dissipated, and merged into its magic power cycle.

An extremely strong sense of bliss and truth of the Great Dao directly hit the consciousness of the Thunderbird, causing it to climax on the spot and fall into a strange hallucination, starting an ultimate journey to enlightenment.

In the illusion, it killed gods and Buddhas, and broke through the [Yutagen Realm].

He even incredibly crossed the level and killed two people with the title [Picking Stars], took away their titles, and successfully advanced to the third rank. It can be said that becoming a god is just a piece of cake.

However, in the eyes of the hairless creature under it, this genius of its own race immediately became abnormal and began to tremble wildly after eating the real seed.

Then, he shouted:
"I've ascended!"

It turned into a flash of lightning and shot up into the sky.

Violent spatial fluctuations came from the sky, and this genius [Thunderbird] completely disappeared.

"Ming!"

A fourth-grade [Thunderbird] that was ten times larger than the little bird just now suddenly rose from the [Thunderbird]'s nest and headed straight for the space fluctuation.

It scanned the sky frantically with its spiritual sense, searching for its descendants, but there was no trace of them!

At this moment, a pure white phoenix floated over from a distance and spoke in a very pleasant voice:
"Another angler has fallen into the trap! My [Hato Root Realm] is being targeted!"

"Lei Zu, I intend to ring the Gathering Bell to summon the Great Saints of the Winged, Scaled, and Grass-planting tribes to discuss this matter. Please come with me."

"If I don't eradicate this angler, my [Feita Root Realm] will never have peace!"

……

This greedy Thunderbird, the Son of Thunder, was bewitched by the corn seeds and completely lost its mind. It allowed the fishhook transformed from the Life-Locking Needle to pierce its soul and body, hooking it out of the realm, across endless time and space, and into the Void Realm.

At this time, it was unconscious and seriously injured, with almost no room for resistance.

But Jing Qian, who had been waiting for a long time, would not be polite. When the giant thunder bird with a terrifying aura pierced the boundary membrane and came in front of him, the long-brewing [Bone-Eviscerating] sword light pierced through the heart, making a big hole in the chest of the [Thunder Bird].

Then, dozens of [skinning] sword lights, combined with ten times the number of sword shadows, removed the hair and skin of the fifth-grade [Thunderbird], cut its flesh and drained its blood, removed its bones and dug out its heart, completely executing it.

The raccoon on the side was very considerate. He picked up two large chicken wings and went back to the [Void Furnace] to roast them.

Looking at the Good Corn again, it felt it had done a great deed, and used its roots to drag the Thunderbird's most precious heart to its feet, forcibly taking possession of it, and then it spoke in its childish voice:
"Do you think I'm awesome?"

However, Jing Qian had no time to respond to Yumi Miao's words!
It was because the moment after he killed the Thunderbird, an extremely mysterious aura of the Great Dao completely enveloped it, and violent waves rolled in his sea of ​​consciousness.

A title destined for him alone is quietly taking shape!
In the "Yamfu Cave Dark Wheel Turning Dao Book", there is a "Title Chapter", which corresponds to the "Ming Zao Chapter" and is also an extremely important chapter.

Jing Qian was well-versed in the Daoist books and was not completely ignorant of this "title", but he had never imagined that he could condense his first title at the eighth-grade Dragon Elephant realm.

It is recorded in the "Title Chapter" that when the monks of Jambu seek immortality and are promoted to [Extended Life], those with profound foundation can ascend to the [Yambu Avenue Tower], leave behind a mark of magic power, and one day be granted the title [Son of Jambu].

Only those who have this title are the true successors of the [Yambu Dao] and are expected to take over as the head of the Dharma lineage.

In the [Yingfutu Realm], the top geniuses of their generation, [Yanbuzi], [Yingshizi] and [Chunyangzi], are all holders of heavenly titles among the three major Dharma lineages.

Among the many top-level Dharma lineages in the same realm, only these three Dharma lineages can glimpse the true meaning of the title at the [Longevity] realm.

Although other lineages also have title inheritance, they all need to practice in the middle three levels to slowly accumulate and condense.

Jing Qian had no intention of getting this title, but he didn't expect to get such a great opportunity from this [Thunderbird]!

It is stated in the "Title Chapter" that in addition to the opportunity to condense a title during each period of cultivation and advancement, one can also plunder the title bestowed by heaven by killing an enemy with a title by crossing levels.

And this is also the source of resources for one's own title promotion.

Taking the title inherited from [Yambu Dao] as an example, if you plunder two lower-grade titles from the enemy, you can combine the three into one and upgrade to the middle-grade title [Yambu Emperor]!
If he continues to plunder eight mid-grade titles, he can be promoted to the top-grade title [Yanluo Dongming Lunzhuan Zhenjun], which has infinite magic and infinite power.

This was originally a high-level practice that was far beyond Jing Qian's capabilities, but with the help of the [Thunderbird], he was able to condense his own unique divine title in advance.

From today on, he can call himself the "Son of Xumi"!
