From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 625 Ten Years of War Reveals Fate
Hua Tiandu is back, and he's even become the deputy sect leader. That's interesting.

But upon closer reflection, it does seem to make sense.

The struggle for the Heavenly Martial Treasury supposedly hinges on Hua Tiandu, but in reality, it comes down to each individual's own abilities.

Hua Tiandu only pointed out the location of the fake Tianwu Treasury to the sect, but who knew it was fake before entering it?

Hua Tiandu also went in, but immediately after entering, he was led by the Desolate God King to the real warehouse. He was completely unaware of what happened in the fake warehouse.

What does it matter to him if the Feathered Immortal Sect and the Taiyi Sect fight to the death?

Ultimately, there is no evidence.

With the strong support of Sun Xihua, Deng Ao, and others, and with no evidence to be found, the matter naturally fizzled out.

As for his collusion with the gods, that was within the True Treasury, and since the gods have now been wiped out, there is no evidence to support it.

He is the deputy sect leader of the Feathered Immortal Sect. He also gained some opportunities in the Heavenly Martial Treasury and achieved immortality. It is only natural that he returns to the Feathered Immortal Sect now.

After all, the Feathered Immortal Sect suffered heavy losses after the great calamity. Many of its Supreme Elders, such as the Green-Faced Venerable and the Five Swords Gentleman, were also lost. The sect urgently needed its core strength. Hua Tian was an immortal giant who had also cultivated the Great Origin Technique, so his combat power was quite good. Moreover, with such strength, he couldn't cause any trouble in the Feathered Immortal Sect now. In addition, he had already fallen out with the Taiyi Sect because of the Yan Shui Yi incident. Now, the Feathered Immortal Sect was the only place he could return to, so there was no doubt that he would do his best.

Of course, Feng Baiyu may have been hiding something deeper behind this, but Li Chengqian didn't care at all.

He is currently displaying the seventh level of the Longevity Realm, the King Realm, and his strength is comparable to Feng Baiyu's. Fang Qingxue has also benefited from the burgeoning of the Xuanhuang Great World's origin, leaping two levels to the fifth level of the Longevity Realm, the Creation Realm. If they wish, they could even turn the Feathered Gate into their own business. They wouldn't care about Hua Tiandu, who is immortal.

As for Feng Baiyu, as the reincarnation of the Holy King of the End of the God Clan, it's unclear what benefits he gained from the extinction of the God Clan and the eruption of the Xuanhuang Origin. In any case, although he also demonstrated the strength of the Realm King, in the eyes of Li Chengqian, a True Immortal, his strength had actually reached the Ninth Level of Longevity Void Immortal Realm, only one level lower than himself. Apart from the improvement in his realm, he had no other benefits.
For example, did he gain memories of his past life? By extinguishing the Holy King's memories, he discovered Hua Tiandu's extraordinary abilities, which is why he kept him alive?
All these questions swirled in his mind, and then he suddenly burst out laughing.

None of my business!

The underworld has appeared; now is the time to get down to business. Who has the mind to concern themselves with the messy affairs of this world?
Business?

What is the real business?

Of course, his goal was to plunder everything in the Immortal Realm and advance to the Immortal King level. Only in this way could he avoid being killed by the Holy Sage Chi You of the Holy Demon Realm after the Star Calamity. As for the rest, it was none of his business.

※※※

With the dust settled on the great calamity of the gods, the Xuanhuang Great World's grade plummeted, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth dissipated like the receding tide, the laws became obscure, and the Great Dao became hidden. The cradle that once nurtured countless legends has now become a shackle binding the progress of the strong.

But migration is not so easy.

The Feathered Immortal Sect is in a slightly better position because its destination is clear. As early as after Li Chengqian told Feng Baiyu about Feng Yaoguang's situation on the Chaotic Continent, the Feathered Immortal Sect made contact with Feng Yaoguang and even sent Elder Lin Feiyan to help Feng Yaoguang stabilize the situation. Now, the Yaoguang Sect has become the number one sect on the Chaotic Continent, occupying a large area of ​​territory and almost unifying the region.

Under such circumstances, the relocation of the Feathered Ascension Sect was much easier than that of other sects.

Along with the Feathered Gate, the Star Gate also traveled to the Chaotic Continent. The two sects already had a close relationship, and during this great calamity of the gods, they supported each other and forged a deep friendship. In addition, considering the relationship between the Star Gate and the Boundless Star Palace, it was only natural for the Feathered Gate to form an alliance with the Star Gate this time.

The journey from the Xuanhuang Great World to the Chaotic Continent is arduous for a lone cultivator. However, with a top-grade Dao artifact like the Feathered Heavenly Palace, the support of five immortal giants at the Realm King level or above—the Three Saints of Feathered Ascension, Feng Baiyu, and Li Chengqian—along with several Supreme Elders at the Cave Heaven and Cosmic Light Realms, and a group of immortal giants at the Longevity Realm, they encountered no major problems along the way.

The real problem is that we've arrived on the chaotic continent.

To put it bluntly, this place is a useless place. For individual cultivators, it is a gathering place, but for a giant sect like the Feathered Immortal Sect, it is obviously not enough, not to mention the addition of the Starry Sky Sect. It can only serve as a temporary foothold.

After the two sects migrated here and settled down, they began to conquer the Wuji Star Palace.

This is also why the Feathered Immortal Sect was willing to form an alliance with the Starry Sky Sect. Feng Baiyu did this because the Boundless Star Palace imprisoned his wife, and the Starry Sky Sect was originally a traitor to the Boundless Star Palace, with old grudges against it. The two hit it off immediately.

Wuji Star Palace clearly did not expect that the two major sects of the Xuanhuang Great World would suddenly turn their attention to it. At first, it suffered a great loss, but soon, with the help of the immortal artifact Hunyuan Wuji Diagram, it stabilized its position. What followed was a full ten years of war between the two sides.

During these ten years of fighting, Li Chengqian and Fang Qingxue became the most dazzling twin stars.

In several major battles, neither Feng Baiyu nor the Three Saints needed to intervene; the two of them resolved the conflicts with lightning speed. Initially, he displayed the cultivation of a Realm King, but the combat power he unleashed secretly alarmed even Feng Baiyu, who was also a Realm King.

His world power was terrifying beyond measure, far surpassing anything a newly ascended World King could possess. The flow of time within it was unpredictable, often disrupting an opponent's rhythm in battle. The Five Elements Divine Light swept across everything; whether it be supernatural powers, magical treasures, or array formations and restrictions, all appeared fragile and vulnerable under its five-colored radiance. Even more chilling were the phantom of a divine axe seemingly capable of splitting the heavens and earth, and the Five Finger Mountain Fist intent that suppressed eternity; ordinary cultivators of the same level would find it almost impossible to withstand a single blow from it.

Ten years of war have passed in the blink of an eye.

The alliance between the Feathered Gate and the Star Gate caused the Boundless Star Palace to suffer repeated defeats, and at the same time destroyed several small sects in the Boundless Great World, thus firmly establishing itself in the Boundless Great World and rapidly expanding. These ten years were a decade of blood and fire, and also a decade in which Li Chengqian's strength "step by step improved", ultimately laying the foundation for his supreme reputation.

Initially, facing provocations from both the local forces of the Chaotic Continent and the forces surrounding the Wuji Star Palace, Li Chengqian, with his cultivation at the Realm King level, slew several giants of the same level. His superb immortal techniques and the Five Finger Mountain that suppressed everything struck fear into the hearts of his enemies, and the name of the Five-Colored Divine Light resounded throughout the Chaotic Star Domain.

Subsequently, during the attack on a key stronghold of the Wuji Star Palace, the enemy deployed two ancient beings at the Chaos Realm, employing an ancient formation in an attempt to ambush and kill Li Chengqian. That battle caused stars to fall and the void to collapse. Just when everyone thought Li Chengqian would be in dire straits, and even Feng Baiyu was preparing to intervene, at the center of the battlefield, Li Chengqian's aura suddenly surged, and a profound Daoist aura of primordial unity soared into the sky!

He "broke through" during the battle!

At the eighth level of Longevity, the Chaos Realm was practically meaningless. He leaped across it, directly entering the eighth level of Longevity. Then, his world transformed into a massive black hole. Combined with five-colored divine light, and using a divine immortal technique, he cleaved open the opponent's Chaos Realm, forcefully shattering the physical bodies of the two veteran Chaos Realm experts, leaving only their remnant souls to escape. After this battle, the Boundless Star Palace trembled, and the morale of the Feathered Immortal Sect soared.

In the following years, Li Chengqian led the main force of the Feathered Ascension Sect in a series of battles against the Wuji Star Palace. He seemed to have an endless supply of trump cards, and his supernatural powers of the Great Dao were used at will when fighting his enemies. His Great Teleportation Technique swept across the battlefield, his Great Devouring Technique plundered vital energy, and his Great Reincarnation Technique sent powerful enemies to their deaths... His ruthlessness and strength made his enemies tremble with fear and his fellow disciples awe.

In the intervals between battles and bloodshed, no one knew that Li Chengqian's mind was mostly immersed in the deduction of the Great Destiny Technique.

The Taiyin Refining Form Technique can refine all forms and deduce all methods. Its essence is so profound that it far surpasses most supernatural powers in the world of immortality. Over the past ten years, Li Chengqian has used this supreme method as the core, combined with his profound understanding of cause and effect and desires, as well as the key information he obtained from the Primordial Ancestral Dragon, to continuously analyze the threads of destiny.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the lotus embryo of cause and effect condensed by the Great Cause and Effect Technique and the core of the forty-eight great vows composed of the Great Wish Technique, under the clear light of the Taiyin Refining Technique, were like two brilliant stars, drawn together by an invisible force, slowly approaching each other, and their Daoist essence began to merge.

Cause and effect are the threads that weave the net of destiny; desire is the force that pulls the boat of destiny.

Based on his own transcendence of the realm of true immortals and using the different perspectives of his various celestial avatars as a reference, Li Chengqian thoroughly investigated the root of cause and effect and desires, and glimpsed the ultimate mystery of the two supreme Daos that transcend everything and are known as "fate does not arise, only cause and effect is respected" and "approaching fate".

This was an extremely difficult process. Even with the Taiyin Refining Technique, it still took him a full ten years, going through countless deductions, collisions, failures, and restarts.

Finally, on the eve of the Feathered Gate's all-out attack on the Wuji Star Palace, in the cave he had temporarily opened in the core star field of the Wuji Star Palace, Li Chengqian's Daoist aura surged to its peak.

In his left eye, countless fine threads of cause and effect emerged, piercing through the past and future; in his right eye, a vast radiance of vow power shone, as if he were making a vow to save all sentient beings. In the sea of ​​consciousness between his brows, the cosmic hub formed by the Taiyin Refining Technique operated at an unprecedented speed, forcibly merging the threads of cause and effect and the power of his wishes towards the immeasurable concept of "destiny"!
"With cause and effect as the basis, desire as the catalyst, the moon as the furnace, destiny... manifests!"

"Om-!"

A Daoist voice, seemingly emanating from the very source of destiny, resounded deep within his soul! The causal lines in his left eye and the light of will in his right eye suddenly collapsed and condensed, ultimately transforming into an ancient rune in the center of his sea of ​​consciousness—neither real nor illusory, neither black nor white, seemingly containing all possibilities and inevitabilities!
The rune trembled slightly, stirring the illusory image of the River of Fate in the darkness. Although it was only a tiny ripple, it made Li Chengqian feel that his connection with the world had changed. He seemed to be able to vaguely see some of the trajectory of fate, still shrouded in mist, but no longer completely blind.

The prototype of the Great Destiny Technique has been completed!

Although he is still far from achieving a truly complete and freely usable Great Destiny Technique, he has successfully integrated the core essence of the Great Cause and Effect Technique and the Great Wish Technique, deduced the correct path to the Great Dao of Destiny, and condensed his own "Seed of Destiny"!
At the moment the seed of destiny appeared, his gaze pierced through endless time and space, as if he saw a colossal portal standing at the end of endless time and space—the Gate of Immortality.

The Gate to Immortality!!
The moment he caught sight of him, Fang Han, who was far away in the Holy Light Great World and whose cultivation had already reached the Creation Realm, was suddenly shaken, as if he felt something being peeled away from him.

At the same time, huge teleportation portals appeared in the Immortal Realm.
