Starting with warding off evil and disaster, one can ascend to immortality after countless tribulati

Just after Jiang Ming accidentally stole Murong Xue's sword dao insights in the Sword Spirit Realm, Luo Yushu's cultivation also encountered a problem in Wuyoutian.

Just now, she suddenly couldn't sense the presence of luck anymore.

This is equivalent to her cultivation achievements being completely stripped away.

All her efforts were in vain, and her attainments in the unorthodox path were reduced to zero. The price was so terrifying that when Luo Yushu discovered this, she thought she had done something that would anger both heaven and man, causing the heavens to punish her. However, no matter how much she thought about it, she still couldn't understand why this was happening.

"Yu Shu, wait a bit. The path of destiny is not suitable for you for the time being."

The familiar voice of the Daoist Master echoed in her mind. Luo Yushu was slightly taken aback, but her doubts vanished instantly.

So that's how it is. The Daoist Master gave up on himself as a pawn. The so-called unsuitability was just an excuse.

The last time Luo Yushu heard the Daoist's voice, he clearly remembered that this kind old man had once encouraged him, but now, everything had changed.

"Senior, I don't understand. I've come this far; haven't I proven my potential yet?"

With a slight sob in her voice, Luo Yushu, even though she knew the outcome was unlikely to change, still tried to salvage the situation.

"The difference is too great; your luck is far too bad."

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, you cannot see a person's destiny, but I can see that you are my descendant. I will not harm you. If there were a way in this world to help you escape the sight of Nascent Soul cultivators and become a new Nascent Soul cultivator, I would definitely help you. However, this is impossible. To advance to become a new Nascent Soul powerhouse, you must gain the recognition of all, or at least most, Nascent Soul cultivators.

My affirmation alone is not enough.

Since things have come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore. The Primordial Sage Daoist Lord has made arrangements, and he has chosen a very interesting young man.

Although it was nothing special, it has managed to get to where it is today.

At first, I didn't quite understand why all this was happening. Given the position of the Primordial Sage Dao Lord, there was a better choice to select someone more suitable.

Why has his judgment become so poor?

I chose someone who, to put it mildly, had no chance of becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator as my replacement, but later I realized...

There is no substitute. This person is clearly the clone he chose himself. There are many secrets involved, and I cannot tell you everything.

All I can say is that his becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator is an inevitable trend. Now, Sword Lord, myself, and Primordial Saint Dao Lord have all placed their bets on him. If things change halfway through, my losses will be extremely severe.

You remember, his becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator wasn't a bad thing for you, and his mastery of the Dao of Destiny wasn't a bad thing for you either.

This world is too complicated, so complicated that even a Nascent Soul cultivator can only scheme and plot in the mortal realm, but cannot achieve a higher level of cultivation and fulfill his long-cherished wish of transcendence through his own efforts.

You'll understand in the future: only when he becomes a Nascent Soul cultivator will there be a glimmer of hope for this world...

With a sigh, the Daoist Master's voice faded away.

At the same time, Luo Yushu's mood also calmed down.

After thinking it over carefully for a while, she finally figured out who the so-called chosen one really was.

It must be the current Heavenly Fire True Lord, his Daoist partner whom he had a fleeting romance with.

She sighed. Although she was a little confused about the situation, she wasn't in a hurry. Since the Daoist Master had said that her chances of achieving Dao were very low, it meant that trying rashly would definitely lead to her death.

Having cultivated to this level, she naturally became very pragmatic, understanding that many things in this world can only be given by others and cannot be rashly fought for by oneself.

"I hope that in the future, I will have the opportunity to attain enlightenment..."

After a few quiet reflections, Luo Yushu ended her seclusion and left the cave. She then settled into a state of ease. In the past, she had devoted all her energy to cultivation, but now that she had some free time, she could do things unrelated to cultivation.

……

At that time, in the Sword Spirit Realm, although Murong Xue looked pained, she still looked at Jiang Ming with great curiosity.

She knew very well that the plan of these Nascent Soul cultivators was not a spur-of-the-moment decision; as soon as one of them made a move, the others would immediately follow suit.

Sword Master has already placed his chess piece.

Dao Zun and Yuan Chu Zhi Sheng Dao Jun should also be busy.

As Jiang Ming pondered, he noticed that many things had changed.

He could see that, in the darkness, there was a red thread connecting Murong Xue's head to his own. This thread flickered on and off, like a lamp that could go out at any moment in the dark.

Unfortunately, Jiang Ming couldn't see the top of his head, and even with all his effort to sense it, he gained nothing.

"Why is there a thread on your head?"

Frowning slightly, Jiang Ming asked curiously.

After carefully examining Jiang Ming, Murong Xue's face showed a hint of surprise. "Are you serious? This must be the work of the Daoist Master. Besides the red thread, is there nothing else you've discovered?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming tentatively manipulated the red thread above Murong Xue's head. Instantly, the red thread became thicker, and at the same time, Murong Xue's aura also began to become heavier.

In a single thought, he changed Murong Xue's cultivation level?

"No, I've lost the laws of swordsmanship, how could I possibly have such a pure and profound aura?"

This should be called destiny or luck.

Apart from these two fundamental laws, there is no other way to achieve this…

"So this is a benefit given to me by the Dao Venerable, but why is it that he was able to directly pass on the laws to me when I've never even had contact with him?"

With a sigh, Murong Xue was also somewhat confused, but he always maintained a peaceful attitude towards such matters. When it came to Nascent Soul cultivators, he simply accepted it silently without asking for reasons.

"Explore other uses for it. The methods of a Nascent Soul cultivator are beyond our comprehension. If he wants to pass on the laws to you, he can do it no matter what method he uses."

You don't need to consider the reasons now; with our downward revisions, we naturally can't understand their moves.

Just accept the benefits; there's no harm in it for us anyway.

There's one more thing you need to be careful about. I've heard that the law of destiny can affect a cultivator's lifespan. Those who gain destiny cannot live forever. When you change someone else's destiny, you must be careful to maintain a proper balance, otherwise, you might unknowingly harm them...

Having given this reminder, Murong Xue said no more.

Looking Jiang Ming up and down, with a hint of urging, "Quickly, keep trying. The wonders of Qi should extend beyond these. If used properly, it can completely help me regain the laws of swordsmanship..."

Jiang Ming nodded without denying it. He did feel a little guilty for taking Murong Xue's hard work before, and now that he had the opportunity to return the favor, it was something he couldn't ask for.

"Alright, don't give me too much luck at once, otherwise, if I break through to a certain critical point, it will backfire and affect me. This is enough..."

He was delighted to feel the power of Qi within his body.

Murong Xue felt an even greater longing for Nascent Soul cultivators.

Even a mere fraction of the laws can bring immense benefits. If this is the Dao Venerable himself, and he is using the Law of Destiny, then the benefits Murong Xue can obtain are absolutely immeasurable.

"These Nascent Soul cultivators are all very shrewd. Since they've given you resources, they definitely hope you can push your cultivation level up and reach the point where you're just one step away from breaking through."

Although you are currently only at the late stage of the Golden Core realm, you can rapidly improve your cultivation level as long as you use the right methods.

You should know that there are some ancient mythical beasts in this world, right?

Their strength is actually no less than that of human cultivators. Moreover, because they are demon beasts, they possess something that is extremely beneficial to cultivators: demon cores.

If you need to improve your cultivation level as soon as possible, you must obtain several demon cores of Golden Core level cultivators as soon as possible.

However, the ancient mythical beasts were not weak in strength.

Without sufficient certainty, you'd better not act rashly. Otherwise, you might end up losing more than you gain, which would be a huge loss...

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming nodded emphatically. After a moment of recollection, he immediately thought of the Ba Hui. "The Ba Hui must be an ancient mythical beast, right? Could we hunt it?"

Murong Xue rolled her eyes at Jiang Ming, shivered, and quickly advised, "I advise you not to think nonsense. Do you know whose mount Ba Hui is?"

This is the mount of the Primordial Sage Dao Lord. If you dare to make a move, even if you win, the outcome will be dire. No matter how good-tempered the Primordial Sage Dao Lord is, he will not allow you to push your luck…”

Jiang Ming frowned. Of course, he didn't know that there was such a complicated relationship involved. After thinking it over, he decided to listen to Murong Xue's opinion.

After all, the other party is older and has more experience.

"If you really want to kill an ancient beast, you have to find one that has no one to rely on. The White Emperor and the Nine-Tailed Fox are both viable options. However, the White Emperor is elusive, and the Nine-Tailed Fox is even more elusive."

Let me think, is there anything more suitable?

By the way, have you ever heard of Qiongqi?

Nodding, Jiang Ming naturally understood the ferocity of this beast. Qiongqi was one of the nine sons of the dragon, an extremely fierce and strange beast. Legend has it that it liked to eat people's noses.

Furthermore, they especially enjoy encouraging others to do evil.

This is a strange beast that can absorb the malice of others.

Due to various rumors, this guy has always had a bad reputation.

In the world of cultivation, many unorthodox sects even regard this as their belief, all in order to gain the favor of this strange beast.

"It can be killed, because the Ancestral Dragon has already been killed, so now his sons are not doing very well either."

Qiongqi is eccentric and has many wicked tastes, so it is reasonable to take action against it. Even though it is a descendant of the dragon race, it will not hold a grudge against us.

After all, Qiongqi is truly useless…

"Where is it?" After asking about the location out of curiosity, Jiang Ming was eager to try. The faster he could become a Nascent Soul cultivator, the faster he could uncover the mystery, even though the Sword Lord had repeatedly warned him about the drawbacks of becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, he remained curious about it.

To be honest, Jiang Ming didn't think that Nascent Soul cultivators were less free than Golden Core cultivators. All of this was probably just Sword Lord's modesty.

"I do know the location of Qiongqi. Years ago, Sword Lord went there in person to collect dragon blood."

At that time, I was a favorite of the Sword Master, so naturally I could go along and broaden my horizons.

Speaking of which, Qiongqi also possesses a treasure.

This thing also has some connection with the Immortal Pivot.

I've told you about the Fuxi Qin, but I haven't talked about the Kunlun Mirror.

This is also a divine artifact, a treasure crafted by the Ancestral Dragon.

After the First Emperor was killed by the Primordial Sage Dao Lord, these treasures passed down to the sons and grandsons of the dragon, and Qiongqi controlled this supreme treasure.

"I just don't know why the Primordial Sage Dao Lord didn't take any treasures after killing the Ancestral Dragon..."

After muttering a few words, Murong Xue silently led the way.

Thanks to her good fortune, she was noticeably more radiant than she had been not long ago, and her confident demeanor was indeed somewhat ethereal.

"Qiongqi's location is not too far from the Sword Spirit Realm. We can probably arrive in about half a month. However, this guy may not see us. We will have to find a way to lure it out. Otherwise, it will remain holed up in the fragments of the cave left by the Ancestral Dragon unless a Nascent Soul cultivator takes action in person."

Otherwise, no one could hurt it…

In the vast galaxy, Jiang Ming encountered no danger along the way.

Besides being related to fate, this is also inseparable from his strength. He and Murong Xue together are two Golden Core cultivators.

One is in the later stages, and the other is in the final stages. Such a combination is top-tier even in the vast universe.

As long as they have a shred of reason, no one would want to cause trouble for the two of them.

Led by Murong Xue, the two arrived at Qiongqi's cave.

This is a very interesting place.

It was a chaotic mess, and you couldn't see what was inside.

"Shall we go in?"

"That's true, but not now. Qiongqi comes out every now and then, so the two of us can only hide and wait for an opportunity..."

Just as he was speaking softly, a huge claw suddenly darted out from the shadows.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a giant red-haired beast. It was ugly and savage in appearance, but its exquisite scales revealed a touch of nobility.

Most importantly, for some unknown reason, a chilling black aura was swirling around its body.

"It has become possessed. Every once in a while, this kind of beast will fall into a state of madness. At this time, its strength will increase by 30%, and its rationality will be reduced to the minimum."

We're stuck here for now, so be careful.

After saying that, Murong Xue slashed out with her sword, aiming straight for Qiongqi's nape.

After thinking about it carefully for a moment, Jiang Ming realized that his luck was indeed ridiculously good. It seemed that this was the benefit brought by good fortune.

In this state, Qiongqi, though possessing some real skills, cannot unleash them, as evidenced by the fact that it did not dodge Murong Xue's attacks several times.
