Destiny is ashes

Chapter 628 Heaven and Earth Dao Formation
An Jing attained enlightenment many times.

The first time he attained enlightenment was in Kanming City. The feedback from the Heavenly Dao made him realize the true meaning of the practice of "Controlling the Heavenly Time".

The second time he attained enlightenment was in the Tianyuan Realm, where he saw through the essence of the demon pill and understood the true meaning of the [True Spirit Blood] series.

The third time he attained enlightenment was on the battlefield around Linjiang City. During that time, An Jing comprehended [Root of Heaven and Earth], [True Spirit Blood·Ancestral Dragon Seed], and completely completed the foundation of his formation.

The three times of enlightenment laid the foundation for An Jing's invincibility. Although it sounds a bit cliché, An Jing was really being chased and fed by God. Without any physical written inheritance, he put together a complete set of top-notch magical powers.

In the next martial arts realm, An Jing also created the highest level of [Tai Shi Tai Yi] formation.

However, because the level was too high, An Jing didn't know how to proceed for a moment.

Let’s not talk about other people’s formation realms, let’s just talk about my teacher Ming Guangchen. The formation realm in his body, ‘Six Yang Mysterious Light’, is a realm derived from the Six Yang Dharma. Among them, Zhengyang is cloud, Shaoyang is wind, Taiyang is flame, Xuan Yao is the supporting sky; sunset is rosy clouds, setback is rainbow, Xinyang is the god of heaven and earth, and Youguang is the cornerstone of all things.

In this way, the six suns and eight scenes have transformed into a complete world of light, which rotates inside and out and is transparent. It can exist independently and last forever.

This formation is based on Ming Guangchen's fate of "Sun and Moon Shining", so the direction of advancement is obvious from the beginning. Ming Guangchen is also extremely suitable for this path due to his personality, so he goes on with determination without having to think too much.

Facts have proved this to be the case. Ming Guangchen strode forward on the path of the sun and moon, without any mental demons or obstructions. During the entire process of his manifestation as a great god in heaven, except for being hindered by human calamities, he himself did not encounter any problems.

That is his way, his destiny, and his will.

This may also be the reason why martial artists make much better progress than immortals: because martial artists have been recognized by the way of heaven from the very beginning, and know which path they should take, so they can move forward without looking back or being confused.

Of course, there are also people who think that the destiny path bestowed by heaven is equivalent to [destiny], as if someone has stipulated that warriors can only do this one thing. Even if this thing is your natural gift and where your talent is developed, there is still a sense of unwillingness of being forced to do it.

Because of fate, you are not free.

There is no way to practice [a path that is not suitable for oneself], there is no way to [take a wrong path and hit a wall], there is no way to [make mistakes].

The existence of fate is like a being above you who has determined the outcome of your future life. Even if you can improve your fate through hard work, it is nothing more than going further on this road. The ending can be postponed and you can do better, but the result will still be the same.

There is no other direction.

This is bad.

Among martial arts practitioners, many people also have such ideas. Some of them want to transcend the constraints of fate, make themselves stronger, and walk a path that transcends their ancestors and the way of heaven.

Therefore, they developed various rituals to change fate and various secret methods that can quickly improve fate, hoping to transcend the constraints of heaven, and believed that this was the key to further advancement in martial arts.

But these are merely the troubles of those who are subject to fate.

Their distress lies in the conflict between their own abilities and their imagination, and they feel that life should have another direction.

Just like this, resisting [the destiny of fate] is actually a kind of destiny. Because you are dissatisfied with the limits of your own [fate], you try to improve and change your fate, which is also a kind of [fate].

The problems An Jing encountered were simpler and more complicated.

Because [Destiny] has everything, everything is possible, and everything can be done.

An Jing's seven evil calamities, the sun, the moon, the five planets and the seven stars are all complete, the yin and yang, the five elements and the seven paths are all complete. If he wants to do anything in the world, he will definitely find the corresponding star destiny.

An Jing has long discovered that no matter what he does, it is destiny, it is his fate, there is no restraint or restriction. As long as he is alive, he will change the world and fulfill his destiny.

He can do anything.

When [fate] gives everything, the so-called fate becomes [freedom].

Because An Jing enjoyed this freedom, he had to think for a moment about which direction he should go. Similarly, [Tai Shi Tai Yi] was so powerful that he couldn't figure out where to start.

The most difficult thing is not [creating all things], but [creating one from Tao].

If everything is allowed and everything is free, you can do whatever you want... then in this state of freedom, what is the first thing you will do?
Is that your true nature and heart?
That's the biggest problem.

What should be the next step for [Tai Shi Tai Yi]?

Should we start with metal, derive the five elements, and regenerate yin and yang; or should we try to gather all five elements together, with creation as yang and destruction as yin, to create the rotation of the seven stars?

Was it the creation of the world, the beginning of the universe, the evolution of the Taiji, the evolution of the five elements, the four images and the eight trigrams, or was it the construction of a more complex world with billions of stars, the divine light of the universe, and the evolution of the infinite Taixu? Countless possibilities made An Jing pause, just like having the best start, so he didn't dare to start the game, fearing that he would make a mistake and ruin everything, which would be a shame for the perfect start.

Therefore, if this fourth enlightenment was not about formations and the comprehension of the formation world in the body, An Jing would not have wanted it at all.

As if he heard An Jing's call, this time his enlightenment was extremely swift and responded to his request.

At this moment, through the highest level formation secret treasure of the three secret treasures [The universe is vast in the cauldron, the sun and the moon are long in the pot], the Tianyuan Realm did not rely on destiny, nor did it inspire An Jing's own wisdom and perception, but directly poured large sections of mysterious Taoist rhymes, and even the [Origin] engraved in this world into An Jing's mind like pouring water!

——Oh, cool, there is such enlightenment? You are brainwashing me!
If An Jing had not been born with wisdom, practiced the Pure and Tranquil Sword Contemplation, gone through bitter battles, and had a strong enough spirit, under this forced understanding of the Heavenly Dao, he would have been turned into a vegetative state in less than a few seconds, with only the knowledge of practicing to comprehend the world.

Even if he could hold on, his head felt like it was a dozen or so big and was about to explode under the endless high heat!

But it was in this high fever that he vaguely saw it.

I saw an immortal coming from the void and landing in a desolate world without any living creatures.

Nothing exists in this world, it is even stagnant, eternally unchanging and eternally dead. All the matter that exists is not something that can be understood by humans, but rather stagnant chaos, an unchanging state caused by absolute symmetry.

Just like an egg that will never give birth to any life, it is the beginning of perfection, the void between existence and non-existence, and will remain silent forever.

[This is truly the best canvas, the best formation base. I can fully display everything the teacher taught me.]

The Immortal Lord looked around the dead and silent universe, nodded with satisfaction, then raised his hand and began to engrave.

In the dark and chaotic darkness, a silver-blue light lit up.

From the fingertips of the Immortal Venerable flowed array patterns that looked like clouds, water, dragons and phoenixes. They encompassed everything, yet were extremely simple.

He engraved his own will at the root of heaven and earth, the source of the great way.

[This universe is no longer symmetrical. In the name of Hanyue, the spirits and evil spirits should be highlighted, the universe should take shape, all things should be born from the five elements, mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, with yin and yang as the attributes, giving birth to and destroying the reality of existence...]

The silver-green runes sank into the depths of the universe and began to take effect gradually.

then……

The cosmic light began to flow.

Taiyu started to move.

Objects began to change.

The spiritual evil began to transform.

Chaos began to differentiate into clear and turbid, light and heavy, yin and yang, water and fire, up and down, left and right, far and near, and all concepts that people can understand.

The Immortal Lord wields his pen to engrave everything in the world.

At this point, the sky has four seasons and the earth has four poles.

The sun and the moon rotate, and the five planets accompany them.

From the one Qi arises all things come into being.

All things come into being here, and a world full of vitality is born here.

At this moment, An Jing suddenly understood.

That is the array...

This world and universe has the largest and original formation!
