Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 886 The Will of Heaven is Unpredictable
On the sea of ​​suffering, Lü Yang stood with his hands behind his back.

'It's actually been born!'

His eyes betrayed his astonishment. Although he was the instigator of this minor calamity, it did not mean that he could completely control its progress.

At least what he was seeing was beyond his expectations.

'Why is it like the Dharma Body Path, another live stream from the entire Sea of ​​Light?!'

Lu Yang's original plan was to secretly sense the "calamity" and see if he could make a fortune in silence, but now this plan has been aborted.

The only saving grace was that he was different from his previous life; he was not the one in charge of the [calamity], nor did he utter any arrogant words like "who can kill me." Even so, he held his breath and prepared to deal with the gaze cast by the Dao Lord at any time, and to restart the process if necessary.

However, a long time passed.

"Didn't come?"

The calamity has manifested in the world. Above the Sea of ​​Bitterness, a great road leads directly to the other shore. This scene can be clearly seen by any cultivator who can see through the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

But the Dao Lord did not react at all.

Not to mention the Holy Sect's patriarch, even the World Honored One made no comment. This eerie silence only amplified Lü Yang's sense of dread.

'Why? ’

For a moment, Lü Yang fell into deep thought: 'Unlike the Dharma Body Path, in my previous life, the moment I took control of the Dharma Body Path, that old codger from the Holy Sect came to investigate.'

'Of course, the fact that the [Calamity] is currently without a master also plays a role, but how could the Dao Lord completely ignore such a direct path to the other shore, one that could even lead to the Nascent Soul stage? That doesn't make sense. Or perhaps the appearance of the [Calamity] is actually in line with the Dao Lord's plans for the future?'

This inevitably reminded Lü Yang of another matter:

'A great calamity of a thousand years.'

Ultimately, why does such a great calamity occur?

According to information obtained from the Great Net of Cause and Effect, the first great calamity of the Void Sea of ​​Light was the conflict between the newly born Dharma Body Path and the Dharma Power Path.

'When I first learned of the Great Tribulation, I had my doubts.'

'The only calamity that could drive the True Monarchs of the entire Void Sea of ​​Light to fight to the death, risking everything, is the Nascent Soul method, which allows one to advance their cultivation to a higher level.'

'But what happened next?'

'Actually, I haven't seen any significance in the Great Tribulation of a Thousand Years so far; it's nothing more than a bunch of cultivators fighting for no reason.'

"Even if there were, it would be a power struggle among the top Dao Lords, offering no benefit whatsoever to a True Lord, which is highly unusual. Given True Lord Xian Shu's style, if there's no benefit, even if a Dao Lord gives the order, they'll slack off and not put in the effort."

Thinking of this, Lü Yang glanced at the [Calamity] again.

'Perhaps this is the benefit. The reason this thing exists during the Great Tribulation of a Thousand Years is precisely because it's a means for the Dao Lords to trigger the calamity!'

He made his own guess.

After all, given the style of the Four Immortal Dogs, they would only remain calm and uninvolved if the [calamity] was within their control.

'Fate is unpredictable. But in any case, this is a good thing!'

Lü Yang let out a deep breath.

To be honest, his worst-case scenario was that he had just caused the "calamity" to be born when the World Honored One's big foot would crush him and Chongguang to death.

It's a miracle we haven't reached that point yet.

To be alive is to succeed! If my guess is correct, perhaps I can make more attempts regarding the [Calamity] to test the intentions of the various Dao Lords!

The sea of ​​light is shrouded in darkness.

As the cradle of countless realms, this sea of ​​light, formed by the convergence of the [Two Elements of Creation and Extinction], is infinitely vast, expanding every moment.

Similarly, every moment a new realm is born in this boundless sea of ​​light. However, most of these realms are very weak. Realms that can produce life are one in ten thousand, and small realms that can generate spiritual energy and allow life to cultivate are one in ten thousand.

Further up, the Middle Realm, which possesses the rudiments of a Fruit Realm, is one in ten thousand among the Lesser Realms.

As for the Outer Path Great Realm Heaven that truly gives rise to fruition, it is one in ten thousand among the Middle Realm Heavens, a miracle of one in a billion after layers of selection.

Yet it was in this boundless land.

In a dimly lit realm shrouded in countless streams of light, it was as if someone had suddenly opened their eyes, their gaze illuminating the sea of ​​light for a moment.

This place is called [Xuanyuan].

For countless years, no one has ever approached this place. It stands alone outside the Sea of ​​Light, detached from the mortal world, overlooking the entire Sea of ​​Light.

However, at that moment, it suddenly dimmed.

At this moment, the entire Xuan Yuan territory became blurred, with countless scenes arising and disappearing within it, including majestic Taoist temples and magnificent magical lights.

These scenes seemed to be artificially pulled into the distance, gradually disappearing into nothingness. The perspective was gradually magnified, and the myriad scenes transformed into layers of mysterious steps, finally revealing a vast and boundless mansion, perfectly situated amidst the misty purple aura, inspiring awe and reverence.

This is the real [Xuan Yuan].

As a super realm, Xuan Yuan is also vast and boundless, with countless cultivators and subordinates of all ranks, yet they are all merely steps below this mansion.

Go up the steps.

Upon reaching the upper level of the mansion, the gate finally came into view, and there stood a plaque with five seal script characters:
[A Minor Realm of Pure Emptiness]

The script is ancient, which has long since disappeared in the Void Sea of ​​Light. Apart from the thirty-six stone sculptures in the Star Palace, probably no one can recognize it anymore.

Yet these five large characters, situated here, exude an aura of lofty grandeur, shaping Xuan Yuan's current transcendent and otherworldly atmosphere.

At the same time, behind these five words, a deep voice suddenly rang out from the gate of the mansion. It was not arrogant at all, but just a very ordinary question. Then another voice rang out and gave the answer, as if it were just a common question and answer between master and disciple in a rural private school.

"Master, the calamity has appeared in the world. Could it be that the great calamity of a thousand years is about to begin ahead of schedule?"

"No. The appearance of the calamity is an unexpected joy, but the great calamity of a thousand years has already been determined by fate, and the time and place will not change because of it."

"Does that disciple still have hope of attaining enlightenment?"

"The Tribulation is the last supreme position in this world. If you can truly defeat all the immortals and escape the Tribulation, you will naturally be able to reach the other shore through the Dao."

"Is this the only 'calamity' we can fight for? Is this the only position we can secure?"

"Of course, there is more than one position. As long as there are still variables, there is always a way out, which is a fundamental principle of the universe. It's just that no one can sit on it."

"Why?"

"Because this is a predetermined number."

At this point in the question-and-answer session, a sigh finally echoed from within Xuan Yuan: "Ever since the appearance of the Other Shore and the establishment of the Dao position, the [destiny] has become increasingly difficult to defy."
