He was invincible from the beginning of the Heaven-Covering Era.

"What is this?" Ye Fan looked at the seed with curiosity. Strangely, just looking at the seed made him feel an irresistible urge to touch it, as if holding it in his hands would allow him to control his own destiny.

Zhou Qing looked at Ye Fan's line of fate, which was three feet above his head, and slapped it hard.

According to legend, there are gods watching over everyone three feet above their heads, and if a person acts recklessly, they will be punished.

Therefore, it is said: "There are gods three feet above your head; whether to seek good fortune or avoid misfortune is entirely up to me. I must keep my mind and conduct myself in a way that does not offend Heaven, Earth, or the gods, and humbly humble myself so that Heaven, Earth, and the gods will always have mercy on me, only then can I have a foundation to receive blessings."

In fact, the line of destiny begins three feet above one's head and extends infinitely into the void, eventually merging into the river of destiny.

Ding!

Ye Fan froze for a moment. A harmonious sound of the Great Dao resounded in his mind like thunder, as if it came from a distant unknown place. It gradually became clearer from the emptiness of the Great Dao and became a normal sound.

[The Fate-Changing System is at your service]

[The following is your character information]

Name: Ye Fan

【Sex: Male】

Age: 13 (25 years old)

[Physique: Ancient Sacred Body (Initially Activated)]

[Cultivation Level: Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm - Life Spring]

[Physical Body: The Secret Realm of the Sea of ​​Wheels—The Other Shore]

[Luck Points: 100 million]

[Scriptures of Cultivation], [External Instruments], [Secret Techniques], [The Great Dao]...

Ye Fan was stunned, staring blankly as this thing called the system listed out all his information.

A screen of light unfolded before his eyes, containing many modules. The [Character Information] section was the default initial interface, with many other modules nearby.

[Fortune Detection], [Avoiding Misfortune and Seeking Good Fortune], [Predicting the Future], [Predicting the Past]...

Zhou Qing smiled as he looked at the light screen. This thing could only be seen by others who cultivated the Way of Destiny and whose attainments surpassed his, besides the system itself.

After all, this system itself evolved from the Thread of Fate; it was a product of the fusion of his Seed of Fate and the Thread of Fate.

In theory, this system can also perform any ability that can be exerted through fate.

But this is only in theory. In reality, the system's capabilities cannot surpass Zhou Qing's. For example, modifying physique is something Zhou Qing cannot do in a short period of time, nor will he have this function.

As for the other functions, they won't exceed Zhou Qing's abilities. Fortune detection has a distance limit, the ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune will fail when encountering things above the Quasi-Emperor level, and the ability to predict the future can only predict a little bit, etc.

"God, what... what is this?" Ye Fan asked blankly.

“You can take your time to study it. We’ve been in the Fire Domain for half a year, so we should go out and see what’s been happening lately,” Zhou Qing said.

"brush!"

A golden ancient chariot appeared between heaven and earth, radiating countless rays of golden light, dazzling and brilliant.

He led Ye Fan directly onto the golden chariot, and golden divine light burst forth. Nine of each of the four great holy spirits swept across the sky and sped away at lightning speed.

Chapter 157 The Fish Leaps, the Hand Retracts

A golden ancient chariot rumbled, enveloped in a golden divine light, surrounded by nine true dragons, nine divine phoenixes, nine white tigers, and nine black tortoises, their divine light dazzling, as if the Heavenly Emperor were patrolling the heavens.

They were still some distance from the human city when Zhou Qing's ears twitched slightly. His super hearing had been truly perfected, allowing him to hear voices even from a great distance, and even capture divine thoughts at very close range.

"Have you heard? It seems that the Holy Master of the Ji family, the Holy Master of Yaoguang, has entered Taixuan and is discussing matters with the Taixuan Sect Leader."

"Discussion? What discussion? It's just coercion. How many powerful figures does Tai Xuan have? There's only one unfathomable Li Ruoyu, but he has no real foundation. Any holy land could destroy him."

Zhou Qing's mind raced. It seemed that something had happened in Tai Xuan recently. He decided to go there to see what was going on and say goodbye to his old friends, since he was preparing to leave Beidou soon.

"Which holy lord is on his journey?" Someone glanced at the sky and immediately exclaimed in surprise, startling a large crowd.

A golden chariot swept across the sky at breakneck speed, accompanied by the roars of dragons and phoenixes, the howling of tigers and the swimming of turtles, creating a magnificent spectacle that startled everyone in the nearby cities.

"Such a golden ancient chariot is unique in the world. It's in the hands of that god-lord in the Northern Region. In other words, this is a god-lord on a journey?!"

Upon hearing this conclusion, everyone was excited. Some cultivators in teahouses and restaurants also hurriedly came out, watching the golden chariot drive away, filled with admiration.

Who wouldn't want to be like that, invincible and dominating all the powerful figures in the Eastern Wilderness? Especially since this is a young man who hasn't been cultivating for very long. This is the self that so many people dream of.

At this moment, the Tai Xuan Sect, located more than a dozen countries away, was in a very tense atmosphere, with all the sect's leaders on high alert.

“I think your Tai Xuan Sect should know the purpose of our visit. We don’t need you to open up the other main peaks. Just let us disciples enter the Zhuo Peak to experience it.”

The Holy Lord of Yaoguang stood with his hands behind his back, surrounded by 108 halos of light, each one crystal clear and dazzling, like 108 small worlds, appearing and disappearing, like a deity reigning over the earth, making people want to kneel down.

The Tai Xuan Sect Leader and some powerful peak masters were all here, but at this moment they hesitated and found it difficult to speak.

Such a request is really hard to accept. Although there is only one main peak, it is still the legacy left by their Tai Xuan predecessors. How can it be allowed to be comprehended by others so easily?

However, if the refusal is too forceful, it may lead to the destruction of the Tai Xuan Sect. The Tai Xuan Sect has not been established for long, and its founding patriarch is not strong. No matter which holy land it is, they cannot contend with it.

Think of the Baoshan Seal from back then, how it went from being the supreme secret technique of a major sect to a widely circulated move in the Northern Region. Think of that ancient family in Licheng, Northern Region, how they were destroyed in recent times.

As the saying goes, "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." Such a secret technique as the Nine Secrets is not something that the Tai Xuan Sect can possess alone.

Previously, all the sacred lands regarded this as a legend. Since no one had comprehended the Nine Secrets, the sacred lands did not consider this legend to be true.

It's true, but it's only a possibility, so naturally we let it go.

But now that someone has comprehended these nine secrets, the situation has immediately changed.

Even the most powerful forces would go to great lengths to obtain such secret techniques as the Nine Secrets. Just think of King Jiang of the Northern Region, who is known as the number one attacker in five thousand years because he mastered the Fighting Secret among the Nine Secrets.

"You should understand that such a secret technique cannot be monopolized by you two. Right now, it's not just our two families that are eyeing this Nine Secrets; many holy lands are also watching, but they will make their move sooner or later."

The Holy Lord of the Ji family said calmly, he was one with the Great Dao of the Void, like a desolate universe, or an endless starry sky, neither born nor dying, giving people a sense of eternity and nothingness, as if standing in the ancient past.

The Tai Xuan Sect Leader was naturally aware of this; it was truly a terrible situation. But what could Tai Xuan do? His face was bitter, and in the end, he could only nod, preparing to agree.

"What the two holy lords say makes sense; we are too profound."

"Senior brother, there is no need to be afraid. Let me talk to them." An old man dressed in gray appeared out of thin air. He was calm and had no air of otherworldly wisdom. He looked like an ordinary old man from the mountains.

But everyone knows that someone who can appear out of nowhere and catch two holy masters off guard could not possibly be an ordinary old man from the mountains.

"Li Ruoyu, your cultivation has truly progressed by leaps and bounds. You have been sitting for hundreds of years. You were originally an ordinary person, but now you have soared to such a terrifying level."

The Holy Lord of Yaoguang and the Holy Lord of Ji looked at Li Ruoyu with solemn expressions. In the entire Taixuan, this was the only person they could not see through, and they had no idea what level he had reached.

"Junior brother, I am incompetent. As the sect leader, I have to rely on you to get me out of this predicament." The Tai Xuan Sect Leader sighed, stepped back, and gave the main seat to Li Ruoyu.

"The Humble Peak can certainly be opened, but the Nine Secrets are not so easy to comprehend. Ordinary disciples who want to comprehend the Nine Secrets will only waste their youth."

Li Ruoyu's words carried a sense of advice. Over the years, the number of disciples on Zhuofeng had increased considerably, reaching more than a hundred, but none of them had comprehended the Nine Secrets.

This is too difficult; unless one possesses exceptional comprehension, one will gain nothing.

“We naturally know that the Nine Secrets are not so easy to obtain, but if more disciples comprehend them, perhaps the probability of obtaining the secret techniques can be increased, right?” said the Holy Master Yao Guang.

"Humph!"

Suddenly, a cold snort came from an unknown distance, and the Holy Lord of Yaoguang trembled and turned pale, as if he had suffered some internal injuries.

"Your idea is good, but a bit foolish." The appearance of two figures surprised everyone present.

One of the figures was robust and tall, with a youthful appearance, thick black hair, and eyes as deep as the starry sky, exuding an aura of unparalleled dominance, giving the impression of an immortal monument.

He was just one person, yet he instantly silenced the place, drawing everyone's attention to him and making him the center of attention.

The other figure was a boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old, with delicate features, but to everyone's perception, his aura was incredibly powerful, faintly exuding...

The sound of lightning and thunder could be heard.

"I wonder what the Divine Lord's opinion is?" the Holy Lord of the Ji family asked calmly.

As the head of the Ji family, no matter how frightening the young man's cultivation was, he would not show any fear. Even though he had placed him on an equal footing and was somewhat wary of him.

"Those qualified to ascend to Zhuofeng to comprehend the Nine Secrets are basically only the sons and daughters of the holy lands. Even for them, it is highly likely that they will gain nothing. In my opinion, many people are not qualified to comprehend the Nine Secrets."

Zhou Qing spoke, his expression calm, his eyes like cold lightning, exuding an imposing aura without anger.

"Then what do you think constitutes being qualified?" The Holy Lord of Yaoguang's expression was very unpleasant, but he dared not clash with Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing's mere snort was enough to make him realize the gap between them, that he was utterly powerless to resist.

"Those who can fight Hua Yunfei to a draw or defeat him are qualified to ascend to Zhuofeng. All others, disperse!"

Zhou Qing's will was not to be refuted. Waves of Dao sounds resounded like thunder, and the two Holy Lords retreated one after another, not daring to confront these Dao sounds head-on, and had to avoid their sharp edge.

“That’s what I was thinking too,” Li Ruoyu stepped forward, supporting Zhou Qing’s proposed method.

"Alright!" The two Holy Lords withdrew immediately. Although this outcome was different from what they had originally expected, it was the only way.

If it were just Li Ruoyu alone, they would continue to be tough, after all, a small Tai Xuan could be destroyed at will.

However, with Zhou Qing added to the mix, it means that they now have an extremely terrifying ancient family behind them, so they can't be so forceful.

Ultimately, this is not a glorious thing. After all, their family's scriptures and secret techniques are not weak. If it were a small force bullying them, it would be one thing, but there is a stronger force, so there is no need to make the relationship too strained.

Moreover, the current result is not bad. They never intended to obtain the Nine Secrets by relying on ordinary disciples. Although the number of people who can go up the mountain has decreased, the quality is still so high, which is enough.

"Senior Li Ruoyu, what is your cultivation level?"

After the two holy masters left, Zhou Qing looked at Li Ruoyu with a puzzled expression.

He looked at Li Ruoyu's cultivation level and seemed to have figured something out, but he was still unsure.

Li Ruoyu smiled at Zhou Qing and said, "It's just as you think. I have already severed my Dao."

Zhou Qing was shocked. This surprised him greatly. You must know that ten years ago, Li Ruoyu was still a disciple who had reached the ninth level of the Dragon Transformation Realm. He only became enlightened after the Zhuofeng Inheritance was opened, and his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.

But no matter how fast one progresses, there should be a limit. Four years ago, when he discussed the Great Dao of Nature with Li Ruoyu, Li Ruoyu was still in the middle stage of Immortal Level 2, and there were still a few small steps to go before reaching the perfection of Immortal Level 2. But now he has already severed the Dao.

The Path of Severance does not take a person's aptitude into account. In ancient times, there were several geniuses who were considered to be comparable to or even surpass the young emperors of past dynasties, but they all died at this stage.

On the contrary, some people who were less talented than them passed the Path of Severance safely.

Moreover, the chances of breaking through this barrier will not increase just because you have been cultivating for a longer time; the time spent cultivating is not a reliable indicator at all.

Some people are hailed as geniuses, but...

Throughout their lives, everyone is trapped before reaching the Path of Severance. Some people, whose talents are not exceptional, can break through this barrier in one fell swoop without any obstacles.

Li Ruoyu's breakthrough speed was too fast. There is only one possibility for such speed: Li Ruoyu had no doubts in his mind when he was at the stage of breaking through the Dao!
