Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 35 The Theory of Destiny

"Yes, yes." Chen Beiwu took out a low-grade spirit stone from his pocket and presented it with both hands.

Xu Ziqing, who was wealthy and powerful, took out an anonymous spiritual gold card from her storage ring and presented it to him with the same respect.

Han Liangcai glanced at the Spirit Yuan Card but didn't take it. Instead, he looked at Chen Beiwu and said, "Young friend, you've managed to cultivate to the seventh level of Qi Refining at such a young age. You must have a connection with the Netherworld Spirit Turtle."

As soon as he finished speaking, the spirit stone in Chen Beiwu's hand disappeared without a trace, replaced by a small piece of grayish-brown tortoise shell fragment.

"These are fragments of the old shell shed by the Mystic Water Turtle. If you take them, the baby spirit turtles in the lake won't hide from you."

"As for whether you can gain the approval of the Netherworld Spirit Turtle, that depends on the depth of your destiny."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Liangcai and the Xuan Shui Ming Turtle transformed into a rainbow of light and disappeared.

Xu Ziqing stared blankly at the Spirit Essence Card in her hand, a look of realization and surprise in her eyes.

This Golden Core cultivator acted on a whim, clearly not there for the spirit stones.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Chen Beiwu with a smile.

Beings like the Golden Core Immortals have profound meaning in every action they take, and there must be an ineffable reason behind their deeds.

Could it be that Chen Beiwu is hiding a secret that she has not yet discovered?

"My judgment is indeed extraordinary." Xu Ziqing's smile grew even sweeter.

Chen Beiwu stared at the token in his palm, his heart filled with surprise and doubt: 'What's going on? How did I become noticed by a Golden Core cultivator?'

Since the Nine Breaths Chaos could shield him from the perception of the Immortal Alliance's Nine Heavens Star Dou World-Suppressing Immortal Array, allowing him to freely traverse the world, it shows that its power is boundless, far surpassing that of a Golden Core True Person, and it is impossible for it to leave any flaws.

"I must be overthinking it." Chen Beiwu forcibly suppressed his suspicions.

From another perspective, he possesses the power of nine breaths of chaotic suppression of fortune and unparalleled talent. It's quite normal that a Golden Core cultivator would take notice of him and intentionally test him to become his disciple.

"Would you like to come with me to Sihai Lake?" Chen Beiwu invited as usual.

"I'll wait for you here, you can go ahead without worry," Xu Ziqing said, refusing.

She had no token on her, and going down with Chen Beiwu would only be a hindrance, so she might as well wait by the lake.

"Then I'll go."

Chen Beiwu gripped the token tightly and leaped into the air.

"Thump!"

Watching the figure gradually sink into the distance, Han Liangcai revealed an expression of great interest: "Do you think he could be that hidden dragon from the Fallen Dragon Palace?"

The Fallen Dragon Palace is located at the confluence of the pure and impure realms of heaven and earth. In ancient times, a true dragon once perished here, hence the name.

As dragon blood seeps into the earth, dragon bones transform into mountains, and the dragon soul merges with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the Fallen Dragon Palace forms a unique pattern of a hidden dragon in the abyss, giving birth to a hidden dragon every thousand years.

Note that the term "hidden dragon" here does not refer to a demon beast with the opportunity to transform into a dragon, but rather to those geniuses who are exceptionally talented but have not yet awakened their abilities and need the blessing of good fortune to rise from the abyss.

The Xuan Shui Ming Turtle shook its head impatiently.

The secrets of heaven are hard to fathom.

It could sense a glimmer of opportunity to advance to the Demon King through the ancient bloodline hidden within its body, but it could not pinpoint a specific person or event. It could only roughly determine a location, and the Fallen Dragon Palace was the place of enlightenment that its master had helped it glean from the secrets of heaven.

If it can successfully find that peerless hidden dragon at the place of enlightenment and help it rise from the abyss, it can take advantage of this cause and effect to borrow the secret method of heavenly fortune in the "Supreme Cave Mystery Spirit Treasure Scripture" to change its fate, greatly increase its cultivation, and gain the opportunity to break through to the level of demon king.

However, the previous generation of hidden dragons in the Fallen Dragon Palace had already appeared, and that was the now renowned True Lord Jingyuan.

At that time, he was successfully picked up by the Mirror Lake Sword Sect, one of the Seven Nine Supreme Sects. In just over three hundred years, he broke through the core and became a Nascent Soul True Lord. The Palace Master of Shiyi Hall even praised him for having the potential to become a Deity.

It is no exaggeration to say that among the twenty-four hidden dragons recorded in the Fallen Dragon Palace, True Lord Jingyuan should be the one with the most terrifying comprehension and the strongest fortune.

Some even believe that the rise of True Monarch Jingyuan has exhausted the foundation accumulated by the Dragonfall Land over tens of thousands of years.

In the next ten thousand years, most of the potential dragons appearing in the Fallen Dragon Palace will be "small dragons," far less powerful than true dragons like True Lord Jingyuan.

Thinking of this, the Xuan Shui Ming Turtle couldn't help but let out a low roar.

Logically speaking, the Fallen Dragon Palace should have waited another seven hundred years before a hidden dragon was born, but it believed more in the stirrings of the ancient Xuanwu bloodline within its body and its master's deductions.

It concerns the future path, and even if there is only a one in a billion chance, it will try its best to find the traces of the hidden dragon in the vast Fallen Dragon Palace.

"Alright, stop yelling." Han Liangcai waved his sleeve, and a large number of low-grade spirit stones immediately appeared on the stone table in front of him. These spirit stones were piled up like a small mountain, including the spirit stones given by Chen Beiwu.

"Forget it, you're just a half-baked expert and can't be relied on. If you want to find the hidden dragon's trail, you'll still have to rely on the treasures bestowed by your master."

According to ancient records, the hidden dragon destiny that enables the Xuan Shui Ming Turtle to defy fate and awaken the Yin and Yang energies must be at least the Northern Heaven Five Qi destiny.

What is the Five Qi of the Northern Heaven?

The Northern Heaven symbolizes the Black Emperor Xuan Lao of the North, while the Five Qi represent the spiritual energy of the five directions. The person with this destiny is born with both positive and negative influences, which means that great fortune and great misfortune coexist. While being favored by luck, they are also easily disturbed by the forces of other elements in their destiny, which can lead to misfortune.

Therefore, those with the Northern Heaven Five Qi destiny are destined to be closely related to the spiritual energy of water throughout their lives. They can achieve enlightenment through the water element, but they are also prone to being harmed by the backlash of the water element.

For example, when Jingyuan Zhenjun first joined the Jinghu Sword Sect, he was not outstanding and had mediocre talent. It was not until he survived two tribulations in the True Martial Realm and successfully became the chief of the Sword Sect that he made a name for himself in the Immortal Alliance.

Subsequently, Fang Shanglong made rapid progress. In the Cave Heaven Grand Competition, as the chief disciple of the Sword Sect, he defeated the chief disciple of the Cave Profound Immortal Sect in one fell swoop, making a name for himself. He was publicly praised by the Nascent Soul True Venerable as having the potential to become a Nascent Soul cultivator. The Sword Abyss Immortal Sect, one of the thirteen immortal sects, even made an exception and accepted him as a disciple.

Afterwards, Master Han Liangcai used his magic weapon to calculate Fang Shanglong's destiny, and found that he was a hidden dragon from the previous generation of the Fallen Dragon Mansion, with the destiny of the Five Qi of the Northern Heaven.

Its main seal is a flying dragon in the sky, a true dragon leaping over the dragon gate, while its secondary seal is a fish chasing the moon in the abyss, a fish chasing the moonlight in the abyss.

Because the Direct and Indirect Seals clash, the person's fate is extremely unlucky. They need to pass the test of the Black Emperor of the North and go through five water-related tribulations in their lifetime before they can turn misfortune into good fortune and soar to great heights.

As expected, three hundred years later, Fang Shanglong overcame all the tribulations, broke the record for the fastest advancement in the Immortal Alliance, and obtained the title of Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Thinking of this, a trace of emotion appeared in Han Liangcai's eyes.

He sought favors from numerous Qi Refining cultivators not for money, but to establish a karmic connection with the owner of the spirit stones.

With that one thread of cause and effect connecting them, Han Liangcai could use the magic treasure [Yin Yang Reincarnation Mirror] bestowed by his master to reflect the thread of cause and effect, deduce the fate of the person whose cause and effect it was, and find the hidden dragon that had not yet soared into the sky.
