Xuanjian: I am the tenth son of Zhenchi, and I plot to seize the throne from Zhenlong.

"So this is fate!"

"The Golden Core True Lord, having attained the Golden Rank, has every action connected to Heaven and Earth. Therefore, when Li Qianyuan was reborn and attained the Bright Sun Fruit Rank, countless lives were also connected and born!"

"Their actions are solely for the purpose of pushing the reincarnated person back to the golden position, so that the fruition is high and the balance of heaven and earth is restored."

"This is the power of heaven and earth!"

"Heaven and earth will forever remember what happened in this place."

"Therefore, the fruition also remembers that if there is no master, only one opportunity will bring back the master with the deepest merit, and thus the 'former venerable one will reappear.'"

"The so-called 'Dao Manifestation' is the Purple Mansion Proof of the Five Methods, which imitates the attainment of the Dao by the Golden Elixir True Monarchs of the same path. By borrowing their power, one can make Heaven and Earth conform, thus gaining the favor of the Golden Position and making it easier to sit in that position."

Looking at Su Ming, who was entwined with Yu Yuxi on the bed, Jiang Shi stared blankly at the dragon vein destiny that suddenly rose on his body, and her heart pounded.

The reason he asked Su Ming to borrow the power of his fellow cultivator, Guo Shentong, was that the foundation for Su Ming's cultivation technique to succeed was "Wu Congyu".

Therefore, it was only natural that Su Ming, who was born with a golden feather, would have his destiny skyrocket under the blessing of the metal element given by Jiang Shi.

The power of the Purple Mansion is naturally not comparable to that of the Golden Core, but it can still allow a mere Qi Refining cultivator to ride this gust of wind, and it also allows Jiang Shi to understand the essence of the so-called life supernatural power.

"The most powerful divine ability of a fruit-ranking official is the divine ability of life. Therefore, those who possess this divine ability can manipulate lower-ranking cultivators, making them act without their knowledge, just like a matter of fate."

"Because their essence lies in manipulating the forces of heaven and earth through this divine power of destiny!"

"There is a 'Heavenly Master,' whose power is to deduce and manipulate the general trend of the world. Therefore, even though Liu Changdie is only a Heavenly Master who practices Qi cultivation, he can disrupt the fate of people by running around the world. The Purple Palace cannot be considered."

Jiang Shi slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. Su Ming's fate gave him feedback, and a certain supernatural power emerged in his mind. He simply followed his senses and understood its power.

"Darkness Retreat"

"Submerged in the deep abyss of the water palace, I command the tides of a hundred rivers, using the waves as a barrier, and within the myriad waters, I hold the power of life and death."

"Therefore, I can use this supernatural power, using the metal element, to control the water element of the world!"

"This is the authority of the 'True Dragon'."

"The He Shui goes without saying, and the Feathered Serpent's metal nature has also tainted the Lu Shui. Then, during the struggles of the other dragon sons, traces of dragons appeared in the Fu Shui and Kan Shui. They were already doing these things spontaneously. The remaining hidden position of the female, and so there was... me!"

Jiang Shi shook his head and stepped into the void.

"No, perhaps all Water Virtue True Lords have this opportunity."

"Or perhaps, the dragons themselves are the destined offspring of the 'true dragon,' driven by the forces of heaven and earth, swallowing thunder, controlling the water element, and finally uniting all their achievements into one."

He murmured softly in the void: "But I am different. I am not Dongfang Xuanyin. At first, I could not even understand my own power. Now I have not yet embarked on the path of female water. I have become a variable."

"My true spirit appeared out of thin air and occupied Dongfang Xuanyin's body. In the eyes of heaven and earth, I am like a golden demon, a golden demon belonging to the 'True Dragon'."

"Therefore I was able to exercise my authority ahead of time, and Heaven and Earth also pushed me to do the work of the Water Virtue and to prove that position."

[The life of a true dragon lasts for a century.]

This was Jiang Shi's fate; once he reached that point, he couldn't hide or escape.

The Li family, Wutu Peak.

"Master!"

The two brothers were checking the clan treasury when a clan soldier entered the hall, knelt down, and announced loudly, "A fairy surnamed Yu has come down from the peak, saying she has important matters to discuss with the clan head."

Li Yuanjiao raised an eyebrow: "Quickly, please come up."

……

"Fellow Daoist Su has already begun his seclusion?" Upon hearing the news brought by Yu Yuxi, Li Yuanjiao was greatly surprised and hurriedly said, "But why not wait a little longer regarding the Suiyuan Pill? It's such a big matter."

Yu Yuxi shook her head: "He got up this morning and said he had some insights and it was a good time for a breakthrough, so he asked me to come and tell you."

"Furthermore... if his Dao foundation is established, it will have a greater impact on the mortals around him, especially at crucial moments. Noble families have always valued their subjects and asked me to inform them to avoid damaging the harmony."

"Fellow Daoist Su, you are too kind," Li Yuanjiao said, his face becoming quite amiable. He casually summoned a member of his clan, took a jade token from his waist, and said:

"There's a lot of moisture by the lake. My family happens to have a magical artifact that can repel water, so why don't you take it with you, Fairy?"

Since this magical artifact would be helpful for Su Ming's breakthrough, Yu Yuxi naturally wouldn't refuse. She happily accepted it and then told Li Yuanjiao about the specific effects of a breakthrough on mortals before taking her leave.

After she left, Li Yuanjiao and Li Yuanping exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes. Li Yuanping pondered for a moment before speaking:

"When the ancestor broke through, the sound of flowing water stirred the celestial phenomena, but it did nothing to harm mortals. This person, I don't know what kind of Dao foundation he has, did not see any earth fire emerge, but instead stirred up the desires of people's hearts."

Li Yuanjiao's face showed some worry: "A breakthrough to Foundation Establishment takes three to five years. I thought I still had some time to build a good relationship with him, but if he succeeds this time, I reckon he'll soon be looking for an excuse to see his uncle. At that time..."

"No rush," Li Yuanping said, taking a sip of tea. "Although he has gone into seclusion to break through, his Daoist partner is still living on the lake. Qinghong told me about it in her spare time."

"This woman is kind and gentle. They often discuss philosophy and have a good relationship with her. If we continue to interact with her, there should be no problem because of her influence."

Recalling the expression on Su Ming's face in the pavilion, Li Yuanjiao's worry vanished instantly. He clapped his hands and praised, "Excellent! Fellow Daoist Su cares deeply for his Daoist partner; this is a good idea."

------

In the mirror, Lu Jiangxian drank the third cup of tea and carefully scanned Su Ming in the thatched hut with her divine sense. He had been awakened last night, and that "spirit" had come to the lakeside again.

Lu Jiangxian saw clearly with her divine sense in the dark that the "spirit" stayed in the thatched hut for a while, concealing the life force burning on the cultivator's body.

Then, as if sensing something, a certain "quality" of that spirit became heavier, and its form became more concealed.

Lu Jiangxian estimated that if his position hadn't been high enough, he probably wouldn't have been able to see through this situation. However, after that "spirit" became even more hidden, he had to concentrate fully with his divine sense to catch its figure.

He hesitated for a long time, but ultimately did not leave the pavilion to see it for himself.

The situation is becoming increasingly confusing. He had looked through Liu Changdie's memories, and there was no record of this cultivator in them.

This proves that the "spirit" behind it must have a status that surpasses the Great Evolution Heavenly Record, which is why it cannot be deduced.

"He should not know of my existence, but what is on this lake that makes him dare not set foot there? Even this monk has received a revelation and keeps his distance."

As Lu Jiangxian watched the golden light on the cultivator slowly fade away, her heart felt heavy.
