The improved female villains regained their memories.

Xiao Qitian asked, "What if my life is terrible?"

The woman didn't answer; instead, she reached out and cleaved the sword in two.

Then she reached out and restored the blade to its original position.

"Fate is in my own hands, and success depends on human effort." The woman retorted, "Can't something be changed if it's rotten?"

Can it be changed?

Is fate something that can be changed?

While Xiao Qitian was in a daze, the woman raised her hand and threw a black leather book at him.

Xiao Qitian took it and found that the book had no title and that his entire body was covered in black leather.

"This book, 'The Method of Knowing Destiny,' is a deadly technique of immortality that I created myself. Once you have nurtured your spiritual root, you can try to cultivate it."

"Your doubts stem from your ignorance of the meaning of fate. Once you have mastered this ultimate technique, you will understand that fate is nothing."

The woman taught Xiao Qitian for three days.

I only taught for three days.

Three days later, the woman gave Xiao Qitian the sword she was carrying, and told him:

"Accept your fate, change your fate, and do not fear your fate. When you can do these things, you will be a hero."

"I hid the truth of the world and a lot of information in that sword. When you grow up and master the secrets of that sword, you will be able to read it."

"When that time comes, you'll realize that fate doesn't matter."

If one understands the hidden aspects, then even fate can be manipulated.

The short three days left an indelible impression on Xiao Qitian.

He watched the woman disappear into the horizon, then looked at the sword in his hand.

If changing one's fate truly exists in this world.

From that day on, Xiao Qitian's fate changed.

-------------

In spring, all things come to life.

Xiao Qitian sat upright on the rock, watching the grass sprout before him.

He channeled his spiritual energy, closed his eyes, and carefully used the Name-Based Technique to read the grass before him.

After a while, he opened his eyes, and he understood the fate of the little grass.

"Grass-type plants are weak. If they take root next to a dragon tree, they will not only fail to receive protection, but their nutrients will also be absorbed."

As he spoke, he carefully moved it to a different position.

"That solves the problem."

The spring breeze caressed the grass, and it swayed its head slightly as if in gratitude. However, Xiao Qitian was depressed and paid little attention to it.

"I still can't see my own fate clearly."

The method of knowing one's destiny is very useful, but Xiao Qitian cannot use it to see his own destiny clearly.

He wanted to ask the woman, but those three days felt like a dream, and as he grew older, they became less real.

What is my life?

He looked at the mountains and asked, letting the spring breeze scatter his questions in the air.

-------------

Yang Pingsheng has taken on a new apprentice named Ye Chufei. From now on, he will have a junior brother.

The new junior brother looks silly and seems like the kind of person who only thinks about fighting. Xiao Qitian befriends him on the surface, but secretly uses the Knowing Fate Technique on him.

From then on, he knew who the protagonist was.

Some people are born to be protagonists; it turns out this isn't just an empty saying.

While Xiao Qitian's talent reached its limit and he was stuck in a bottleneck, Ye Chufei's talent was slowly being revealed.

protagonist.

Night fell. Xiao Qitian stood by the stream where he had first met the woman, watching the water flow by.

The protagonist, born of heaven and earth, is a person with great fortune. He can be said to be the darling of this world, destined to stand at the pinnacle of the world from birth.

"Can the protagonist's life also be used?"

The moonlight was as clear as water, and Xiao Qitian looked at his reflection and asked.

Later, the third and fourth junior sisters also joined the Kongling Sect, and Xiao Qitian learned about the fates of the female lead and the female supporting character.

The more you know, the more desperate you become.

He suspected that the woman had lied to him.

She spoke of changing one's fate as casually as eating and drinking, and even taught him the "Knowing Fate Technique," a rather useless immortal technique. If Xiao Qitian hadn't known he had no value to her, he would have suspected that this woman was just trying to deceive him.

Changing one's fate is not that simple.

He looked at his reflection and used the Destiny-Knowing Technique on himself again.

A state of chaos.

As expected, the "Knowing Fate" technique was useless against him.

Xiao Qitian was disheartened.

From that day on, he never used that killer move again.

--

That winter, a letter arrived from the Abyss.

That was a letter from Xiao Qitian's biological father.

In the letter, he saw his biological father's self-narration and his description of the past. Ignoring these, Xiao Qitian only looked at the last few sentences.

The last few sentences roughly meant that his biological father was dying, and if possible, he wanted Xiao Qitian to leave the Kongling Sect and join the Demonic Sect.

Join the evil cult?

Xiao Qitian snorted coldly and tore the letter to shreds.

Although he couldn't see his own fate clearly, he saw it in the fates of Ye Chufei and Bai Nanrong, both of whom achieved their honors by defeating him.

At that time, he didn't understand why his fellow disciples Ye Chufei and Bai Nanrong would attack him. Now, he understands.

One is the protagonist's ladder to glory, a withered bone among the countless corpses that make a general's success.

He sighed and said, "So I'm destined to be an ant."

The life of an ant is the least valuable life.

Perhaps his most valuable moment is when the protagonist tramples on him.

He looked up at the sky.

An ant.

A vast sky.

The sect leader gave him the name "Qitian" (meaning "equal to the heavens"), but how can an ant be equal to the heavens?

Chapter 436 An Ant's Fate

The turning point came from one of Xiao Qitian's experiences.

The disciples of the Kongling Sect all need to undergo training, earning merit through missions, and then exchanging these merits for magical treasures, talismans, pills, and other items for cultivating immortality in the Merit Pavilion.

With Xiao Qitian's strength, he could easily complete most tasks. He wouldn't take on tasks like searching for the Demonic Sect, but rather on investigations and repairing gate towers with spiritual energy. These tasks were indeed easy for him, so doing so was just like traveling.

As usual, he looked at the missions with boredom and finally chose an escort mission.

The person requesting the quest was a woman named Qing Xuelan. The quest involved escorting her and her cargo to Bailin City, and Xiao Qitian accepted the task.

The so-called goods were truckloads of locked, unidentified items. Although they were concealed by low-level magical artifacts, they could not escape Xiao Qitian's eyes. He only glanced at them briefly before understanding what the goods were.

With a fawning smile, Qing Xuelan handed over a bag of spirit stones and a fifth-grade pill: "I'll trouble you to take good care of me along the way, young master."

Xiao Qitian weighed the spirit stone in his hand and looked at Qing Xuelan with a half-smile: "You really dare to do this."

The woman before him was clearly a fox spirit, and she had actually sold her own kind into slavery.

"The world is in a difficult time, I hope you will do me a favor," Qing Xuelan said.

Is the world not easy?

That's ridiculous.

Since the decisive battle between the righteous and the demonic sects, after the demonic sects retreated to the Demon Abyss, the world has been peaceful. Under the jurisdiction of the major sects, led by the Kongling Sect, there have been few riots.

Immortals do not compete with mortals for profit; in fact, they will take the initiative to do things in order to accumulate virtue. As a result, with the passage of time, natural disasters such as famine and floods have been gradually eradicated by the immortals.

“But this world is not only plagued by natural disasters, but also by man-made ones,” Qing Xuelan said.

She recounted many events in Bailin City to Xiao Qitian, from the Cultivation Palace's feigned compliance to the infiltration of the Demonic Sect, and the inaction of the higher-ups. Xiao Qitian listened with great interest, and after she finished speaking, he still couldn't resist mocking her, saying:

"Even if you've said all that, it doesn't change the fact that you're a scumbag who betrayed your own people."

Xiao Qitian sneered, "Let's not even talk about what these things in Bailin City have to do with you. Even if they do, do you think doing this will change anything?"

"Young master, you haven't understood what I meant. I'm not saying all this to illustrate anything, but rather..."

Qing Xuelan licked her red lips and said, "I like it there."

"What did you say?"

Qing Xuelan liked that chaotic world.

She hated rigidity, hated rules, hated all constraints. After learning about her sister's connection with Li Yaoyang, she became utterly disillusioned with the fox tribe and everything else, choosing to seek refuge in the borderlands where rules were imperfect.

"My tribe is too afraid of the power of immortals and the rules established by them, so we turn a blind eye to many things."
