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

Chapter 96: Two Destinies of Life
The sword energy that Jing Qian finally condensed after sixty-five years of hard work actually burst out with the power of the fourth level [Picking Stars].

The Qiongqi was struck by his sword, and a palm-long sword mark appeared on its right shoulder.

The sword mark was three inches into the flesh, and could not harm Qiongqi's life at all, but it was already a real qualitative change.

When Jing Qian's fundamental sword energy was enough to injure the fourth-grade [Zhai Xing], the sword energy he differentiated also reached the fifth-grade [Di Sha] level.

This allowed him to finally bridge the gap in combat power between him and several other [Lingjizi] in his daily battles using sword energy.

And if he could unleash his fundamental sword energy, he might be able to fight against the chef of the [Kitchen God's Shop]!
The only one who has no chance of winning is the son of the Ying family.

Facing the once untouchable [Star Picking] powerhouse, Jing Qian contentedly died ten times in a row and slashed out ten fundamental sword energies.

He had sex ten times in a row, leaving a one-foot-deep wound on [Qiongqi] that could not heal for a while.

With the eighth-grade [Dragon Elephant] wielding such a powerful sword energy, the experience is maximized.

Afterwards, he escaped from the life monument space and returned to the [Longevity Fish Pond].

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the [Qingping Sword Box] emitted a bright green light, with a sense of harmony and perfection.

With the blessing of two [Destiny], he successfully gained two more extremely powerful magical powers!

Among them, the magical power achieved by the escape method [Heaven's Destiny] of [Bi'an Weiyang] is called [Sword Qi Transforms into Light], which can also greatly increase the speed.

This magical power is one level stronger than [Sword Qi and Thunder Sound]. Its function is simple and single, but extremely powerful.

With this blessing, Jing Qian's [Qingping Sword Qi] completed a key qualitative change and evolved into [Qingping Sword Light].

The so-called "sword light" will officially reach the speed of light. For enemies at the [Star Picking] level and below, if they do not have the ability to accelerate, they will have absolutely no way to dodge and can only resist.

In other words, Jing Qian is now sure to hit the target whenever he strikes with his sword!

This is a new realm above the level of swordsmanship. Even in [Chun Yang Ruins], most disciples can only achieve it at the fifth level.

Only a very small number of geniuses can achieve the [Sword Energy Transformed into Light] at the sixth level, and they are already the leading figures in a certain stage of [Chun Yang Ruins].

Jing Qian reached the [Dragon Elephant] realm, achieved the sword light, and turned the impossible into possible, becoming extremely powerful.

On top of this, the magical power brought by the destiny of [Sumeru] is in no way inferior to [Bi'an Weiyang], and is also extremely powerful.

This level of magical power is called [Silent Ashes], which means the destruction of space and the silence of all things. However, a trace of dimensional extinction power can be attached to the sword light.

This irresistible force of space pushed the upper limit of the attack of [Qingping Sword Light] to a new level.

The fundamental reason why his sword light was able to cut through the power of [Picking Stars] was precisely because of this magical power of [Silent Ashes].

The power of space destruction cannot be resisted even by those at the [Star Picking] level.

The [Qingping Sword Box] in its perfect state brought about an absolute qualitative change in Jing Qian's combat power, and also gave him a glimmer of opportunity to win.

At this time, there are still forty-seven years before the end of the hundred-year scouring.

After completing the necessary training and laying a solid foundation, the remaining forty-seven years will be his real sprint time.

"Forty-seven years left until the college entrance exam!"

Jing Qian will do his best to improve his combat effectiveness!
The fourth lesson also arises from this.

……

Thanks to the great success of the two [Inspirations], Jing Qian's [Destiny] space has been released unprecedentedly.

At this time, most of his [fate] was carried by the three [spiritual mechanisms].

The actual [life number] he occupied had dropped to three taels and two cents.

Thanks to the new deal with the [Longevity Fish Pond], which increased his wealth by one liang and two qian, and the promotion of his [Lifespan] destiny, which increased his wealth by one qian, the upper limit of his [Life Number] reached eleven liang and two qian.

He is capable of melting another eight ounces of [Destiny]!

This is the true proof of his solid foundation.

In the preliminary process of screening the [fate], he focused on the cohesion of the Dharma image and the completeness of the materials.

In the [Taoist Book], there are many [Fates] with excellent performance, but he gave up on them because of the materials.

At present, his major practice framework has been established, the most important [Spiritual Cleverness] practice has been completed, and his [Fate] is sufficient to condense the Dharma image.

But the capacity of [Destiny] is still extremely abundant.

Next, it is time to refine the [Fate] and then it is time to truly fill it with flesh and blood for cultivation.

In his practice plan, the fourth task of the hundred-year practice is to use the [Longevity Fish Pond] to smelt three new [Fates].

And these three [Fates] will bring about a real improvement in his combat power!
Among the many categories of [fate], there is one category of [fate] that is the most special. It is not related to mountains and seas, gods and ghosts, living beings and spiritual treasures, but is a category of its own.

This type of [fate] is called Yuanqi fate. As the name suggests, it is specifically used to help cultivators accumulate vital energy and condense [fate essence].

This type of [fate] has an extremely simple function, and after being refined, it has no other magical powers except increasing magic power.

Furthermore, the low-grade Yuanqi Life can only improve the magic power to a low level, and the cost-effectiveness is extremely low.

Therefore, the lower three-grade cultivators who are short of [Destiny] will hardly consider refining the destiny of Yuan Qi.

It’s not that I don’t want to, but I can’t afford the high-end ones, and the low-end ones are not cost-effective.

Most of the time, this is a luxury item that only a cultivator of the third rank can smelt.

However, for a truly gifted genius, if he could refine a high-grade Yuanqi Life in the lower three stages, or awaken one at birth, it would be of great benefit to the improvement of combat power, the condensation of Dharma, and even the smelting of Fire Evil.

Jing Qian has the [opportunity to forge destiny], and the quality of [destiny] is not a problem. He has long wanted to smelt a destiny of Yuanqi.

However, the materials used to refine this type of [fate] are all quite rare and exotic Yuan Qi.

[Hunzhou] It is difficult to find even a ray of light in such a remote and poor place.

And it was a great chance that he was fortunate enough to come to this [Longevity Fish Pond].

The vital energy here is extremely abundant, and it contains all kinds of exotic vital energy in the world.

For Jing Qian, it is the perfect place to refine the [Life of Yuan Qi]!
In the "Yamfu Cave Dark Wheel of the Dao Book", the three lower-grade [Life Pattern] cultivation methods each have a life of Yuanqi, which are:
【Fate: Yin Qi】

[Rank: White Fang]

[When Yin energy is born, it is like charcoal!]

Refining it can add one [Life Essence].

……

【Fate: Ghostly】

[Rank: Blue Wing]

【Ghost lights are like gas lighting up pine flowers! 】

Refining it can increase three [Life Essence].

……

【Fate: Netherworld Qi】

[Rank: Blue Blood]

[The netherworld cannot be questioned, so I would rather endure the years.]

Refining it can increase nine [Life Points] and increase the [Life Points] recovery speed by 10%.

The cost-effectiveness of the three Yuanqi Fates is extremely low. If it were other cultivators, they would never consider smelting them. They would only wait until their cultivation level is promoted to smelt higher-grade [Fates].

But Jingqian didn't care about these details at all.

He didn't even select them, but refined them all directly!
A place of opportunity like [Shouyu Pond] can't be found anywhere except [Zhuling Cave Heaven].

If he wanted to rely on his own efforts to accumulate enough energy to recast these three [fates] to their limit, he would have to go into the sea and be a mold.

The fourth lesson begins here!
He lay down in the [Longevity Fish Pond] and began to swallow the three rare kinds of Yuan Qi.

And the [Opportunity to Forge Destiny] that he had accumulated also began to decline rapidly.

In fact, it is not only Jing Qian himself who is refining the life of Yuan Qi.

Several other [Lingjizi] in this [Shouyu Pond], and even the Yingzi, were trying to sacrifice and refine high-quality Yuanqi life.

This is an old tradition passed down among the top Dharma lineages.

After all, no one can refuse to get a rare Yuan Qi from the [Longevity Fish Pond] for free.

However, none of the other seven people combined have plundered as much wool from the fish pond as Jing Qian.

Thousands of strands of rare Qi entered his stomach, and he made a fortune!
Three years passed in a flash, and he successfully refined three Yuanqi lives and recast them to the peak of [Purple Eyes].

At this level, each life of Yuan Qi can increase his cultivation by twenty-seven [Life Yuan] and his recovery speed by thirty percent.

Compared with the [White Fang] level, the effect has increased dozens of times, and the [Life] occupied is only three cents more, which highlights the cost-effectiveness.

He was extremely looking forward to raising the life of Yuan Qi to the level of [Heavenly Destiny] and seeing what kind of power would be revealed.

Up to this point, all the required items in his practice plan had been completed. He had almost done everything that a [Dragon Elephant] cultivator in [Yambu Road] should and could do.

Compared to before he came to [Zhuling Cave Heaven], his strength has increased beyond reason:
[Host: Jing Qian]

[Lifespan: 71 years]

[Destiny number: 6 liang 8 qian / 11 liang 2 qian]

[Life Essence: 128*5.1] (Blue Wing)

[Inspiration: Qingping Sword Box, Rotating Emperor Seal, Qili God Seal]

[Destiny: Xumi, Qingpingmo, the Other Shore, Hell Scroll (21 Ghosts)]

[The Imperfection of Destiny: Worldly Solution, Tushita Crucible]

[Life: Nourishing Meat Buds (Purple), Waves (Half Purple), Weaving Souls (Purple), Ghost Seal (Purple), Ghost Wall (Purple), Yin Qi (Purple), Ghost Qi (Purple), Nether Qi (Purple), Lifespan (Blue 6 Hours 3 Quarters)]

The magic power increases dramatically, the [fate] is enriched, the [inspiration] is perfected, and the killing power is extreme.

He was itching to activate [Battle Victory] in the next second!
At this point, Jing Qian finally understood what Diaosou said to Ying's son.

The cultivation that can be done at the [Dragon Elephant] realm cannot last for more than a hundred years.

The cultivation work that Jing Qian owed was already very complicated, but he still managed to complete it all within 68 years.

There were still a full forty-four years left, but his cultivation rate had inevitably slowed down. However, he had anticipated this and had even made plans for the next forty-four years of cultivation.

Even though I have the [Sumeru Avenue Monument] to suppress it, there is still a way to move forward!
The fifth lesson: "Polishing jade" officially begins!
During these forty-four years, he will strive for perfection, fully perfecting the details of his practice, eliminating all the impetuousness and disharmony that comes with rapid progress in practice, and will be able to continue to accumulate and persevere.

The reason why it is called "polishing jade" is that it is like patiently polishing a piece of jade embryo until a flawless jade is born from it!
In the first round, he will try his best to accumulate the [Life Essence] mana, and pour it into the [Qingping Sword Box] as much as possible to continuously increase the power of his own sword energy.

In the past seventy-two years, his mana reserves and energy recovery speed have increased dozens of times.

If we consider a lineage like [Chun Yang Xu] that is not good at refining Qi, even an ordinary sixth-grade cultivator may not have as much magic power as him.

After accumulating all his strength for forty years, even he himself could not imagine to what extent the power of his sword light would evolve.

In the second round, he will insist on recasting his [Lifespan] and seek to continue to improve his [Lifespan] destiny until he breaks through the critical node of lifespan growth and achieves immortality!
This will allow him to complete his practice of the [Life Extension] realm early before he condenses his Dharma image.

This is something that will come naturally after sufficient accumulation.

The third grinding, without using the basic sword energy, only using the [Qingping Sword Light], use the incarnation of [Qiongqi] to patiently hone your own fighting skills.

This will allow him to perfectly control his strength, which is surging like a wild horse, and prevent him from being rough and careless, which will result in his combat power being unable to be effectively exerted.

The fourth step is to continue to try to practice the exquisite secret techniques recorded in the [Taoist Book] to enhance one's own practice foundation.

The remaining secret techniques are not compulsory courses like [The Art of Drawing Essence], and have nothing to do with his practice, but are elective courses to enrich his methods.

Just as much as I can, the icing on the cake.

The fifth grinding is to try your best to reduce the expenditure of life span, make full use of the forty-four years, rely on the life-extending ability of [life span], and create another [destiny]!
Relying on the power of [Stealing the Time], he had gained a hundred years of time for free, and his training had been completed. He also had the confidence that in the next forty-four years, he would set foot on the path to true eternal life.

The extra life span has become much less important to him, and is just right for stimulating the [knowledge of destiny].

This will be his last and most important opportunity to improve his strength.

This "five steps of jade carving" quietly began, and with the passage of time, Jing Qian's accumulation gradually increased.

Cultivating one's destiny and inspiration is certainly a great process, which can lead to a sudden increase in cultivation and combat power, but it is not the normal state of cultivation.

This kind of steady and gradual accumulation is the true meaning of longevity for us!

Four years passed in a flash, Jing Qian had recast his [Lifespan] 1,300 times and finally achieved the perfection of [Purple Eyes]!
From this moment on, his life span can be increased by one day every day, and the increase just makes up for the gap in consumption. As long as he does not waste extra life span, he will be immortal and live forever!

A key qualitative change gave him a huge boost in confidence.

However, just reaching the [Purple Eyes] level is still not enough!

His [Revolving Emperor's Seal] and [Qingping Sword Box] together have a burden of five hours/day, and there is still a big gap in his lifespan.

What's more, this does not include the [Fu Ling] rank, and the corresponding lifespan burden of a new [Ling Ji] will have to be added.

You still have to persist in recasting your [lifespan], and this will be a long-term practice.

Another three years passed before the [Lifespan] destiny finally broke through the output of five hours a day. From then on, Jing Qian's remaining lifespan began to grow in an unprecedented positive direction!
With every passing day, his life span actually increases by one point, and with the continuous recasting of his [Lifespan] destiny, the rate of increase is increasing significantly!

The so-called immortality was proved so easily by him!

……

In the ninety-second year, Jing Qian's [lifespan] officially broke through four days and five hours/day. In other words, with every passing year, he can add three years to his lifespan!

There are still twenty years left in the pond, and the "five polishings" will each bring significant progress, which is wonderful and difficult to describe in words.

……

In the hundredth year, Jing Qian casually swung out the [Qingping Sword Light] and cut off a hair from the tiger's tail of [Qiongqi].

……

In the 107th year, Jing Qian's [lifespan] reached seven days and five hours per day. With each passing year, his lifespan increased by six years!

His remaining lifespan actually exceeded one hundred and sixty years!

His life span increased smoothly beyond imagination, and a [Destiny] was no longer enough to satisfy him!
……

In the 109th year, the [Lifespan] destiny officially broke through eight days and five hours/day, which was completely beyond Jing Qian's imagination.

His three views were completely overturned. He had new ideas about lifespan and immortality, and also had new plans for spiritual practice.

……

On this day, when Jing Qian's remaining life span officially exceeded 180 years, he activated [Knowledge of Destiny] without hesitation!
He placed that [Yin Qi] destiny on the [Sumeru Avenue Monument], and it was crushed by the destiny monument and completely shattered.

Then, the silver-gray mist lingered out again, enveloping his mind.

In the mist, there is endless broken time and space, whose origin and end are unknown. Only the true meaning of the infinite great way gushes out from it, turns into talismans, and rushes into the [Yin Qi] fate.

A new destiny was born:

Fate: Origin Qi·Yin

[Position: Destiny]

[Ocean of Yuan Qi, the origin of the source, the source of Yin Qi]

As soon as [Destiny] was completed, Jing Qian's sea of ​​consciousness changed drastically in an instant, and his [Yin Qi] destiny suddenly turned into an extremely unique Eye of Vitality, which began to gurgle out pure Yin Qi.

These negative energies did not come from the outside world, but were actually connected to the [Sea of ​​Yuanqi] and generated from the origin!
This [Sea of ​​Yuanqi] is higher in status than the [Sea of ​​Sex, Spirit, and Life]. It is the source of all vital energy and will be of great use to Jingqian's subsequent practice.

With this [Original Qi·Yin], Jing Qian actually turned into a human-shaped spiritual vein and a human-shaped vital energy core.

From then on, even if he stepped into a desert of cultivation with a lack of vitality, he could rely on his own strength to give back to the outside world and bring about a small-scale revival of spiritual energy.

This overwhelming Yin energy instantly swept through Jing Qian's whole body, filling up the gap in his magic power, and then it was about to overflow into the [Longevity Fish Pond].

This is not possible!

Jing Qian can get things for free from others, but it is intolerable for him to provide the vitality he creates to others for free!
I saw that the destiny of [Sumeru] suddenly shook, and it actually had a miraculous connection with [Original Qi].

Afterwards, the first vitality core appeared in the [virtual world]. Jing Qian used the Yin Qi he produced and sold himself to start pouring into this vitality core.

The [Virtual Realm] itself is only a tiny place, but it is continuously infused with Yin Qi. The concentration of Yuan Qi within it soon exceeds the level of the [Hunzhou] area and continues to increase rapidly.

This small cave of mine has completed a key promotion, from relying on the [Shadow Stove] and borrowing vitality to becoming self-sufficient, which can be said to be an ascension on the spot.

The promotion of the realm naturally led to the improvement of the [Life Stove]. The [Void Furnace] was immediately upgraded to the seventh grade, and became the [Blue Stove]. Now when he goes to the [Kitchen Room], he is no longer the worst.

The black cat Qili beside it was already so happy that it was flying with joy. At this moment, it was lying on its back beside the furnace, exposing its belly to people to rub it, looking as if it had inhaled too much catnip.

Its rank has officially reached the seventh grade, which is beyond Jing Qian's current level of cultivation. It can finally be considered a useful heretic moon.

For Jing Qian, this promotion of [Destiny] has brought him immeasurable improvement. He has even broken away from his dependence on the real world. In extreme cases, he can even go into the [Virtual Realm] to obtain energy to nourish his practice.

There is no shortage of lifespan or vitality. Although there is no tempering, you can gradually improve by persevering.

As the saying goes, the road of "going the path of poverty" is open!

This [Destiny] changed his pattern and foundation!
……

Another year passed, and Jing Qian was completely familiar with [Original Qi·Yin], so he acted without hesitation and activated [Knowledge of Destiny] again.

This time, it is finally the turn of the [Ghost Seal] to undergo a qualitative change and improvement!

This [Fate] carries the inspiration of the [Revolving Emperor's Seal] and is undoubtedly the cornerstone of Jing Qian's practice.

He was finally ready and began to raise the foundation stone upwards.

The silver-gray mist reappeared, and from the fragments of time and space, countless talismans emerged, dismantling and recasting the fate of [Ghost Seal].

Then, a new [Destiny] was born:
【Destiny: Jambudvipa Seal】

[Position: Destiny]

[The Lord of Yamabu, who controls life and death! ]

The birth of this [Destiny] directly changed the [Rotating Emperor Seal], and this [Spirit] was also reborn.
Jing Qian only felt that his sea of ​​consciousness was completely sealed, and then completely reshaped.

The entire sea of ​​consciousness expanded more than ten times!
The new sea of ​​consciousness is completely supported by the new [inspiration].

[Inspiration: Yamafu Heaven]

Category: Seeking One’s Roots

[Rank: Seventh Grade]

[Requirement for suppression: Yamabuzi]

【Life span burden: three days/day】

The new [Inspiration] has comprehensively enhanced the power of [Rotating Emperor's Seal].

The six [Fate] printed on it each have their own improvements.

And that's not even the most important thing!
The latest achievement, [Yambu Heaven], was inexplicably connected to a mysterious place and gained a unique magical power.

Jing Qian sensed it carefully and discovered that when he activated this magical power, his own divine consciousness jumped out directly from the [Ying Futu Realm].

In [Yambu Heaven], the divine power of [Sumeru] was activated.

With the combined power of the two, he seemed to have broken through the limitations of three dimensions and arrived at the intersection of time and space of the heavens and all realms. Looking around, there seemed to be countless passages and countless destinations.

With the help of [Yambu Heaven] inspiration and [Sumeru] destiny, he has the power to connect with other realms.

This trace of magic turned out to be the second-grade [Reincarnation] power of "Fishing in the Void".

However, Jing Qian at this time was only at the lower third level of cultivation, and luckily he was contaminated by the void. How could he be qualified to be a fisherman? He was obviously a piece of delicious bait!
[Yambu Heaven] suddenly flickered, and was actually connected to the aura of a secret place in the endless void. Jing Qian's sight penetrated the barrier of time and space, and met the eyes of a one-eyed man.

He was horrified, feeling that the other person's eyes were full of amusement, desire, greed, fear, and murderous intent!
Being so far away from each other, Jing Qian couldn't bear it at all just a look from the other party.

For a moment, he felt a splitting headache, his eyes were ferocious, and he wished his soul would be shattered.

Fortunately, the two [Ghost Eyes] hidden in his eyes took the punishment for him and instantly turned into ashes and returned to the [Hell Scroll].

Jing Qian finally regained some clarity of mind and hurriedly controlled the power of [Yambutian] to sever his connection with the terrifying one-eyed man.

This experience almost scared him to death!
He no longer dared to show off, and lay obediently at the bottom of the [Longevity Fish Pond], and fell into seclusion again.

……

In the infinity, the one-eyed being who almost killed Jing Qian with a single glare scratched his head, feeling speechless.

A strange corn spirit standing beside him said:
"Sir, it's so hard to have a descendant from our old family come over, why are you so fierce?"

"You scared the shit out of him. I'm afraid he won't dare come up here again for a while."
