Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 120 The Sword Diagram Through the Eyes of Three Lifetimes

Suddenly, Shangxi's words revealed a tenderness she had never shown before, and she was actually full of anger.

Lingling, who had been teasing him the whole time, suddenly felt a little uneasy looking at Shangxi, who had suddenly become so eccentric.

She wanted to try and negotiate, but Shangxi didn't give her any room to maneuver!
His right hand, which was resting on Lingling's face, suddenly shot out like lightning, aiming for her right eye.

The Great Micro Sword unleashed its sword energy, suppressing Lingling so completely that she could not resist!

And he actually gouged out the right eye of this "She-Devil"!
"Shang Xi!"

Lingling struggled desperately, and a tremendous magical power erupted from her body, shaking the entire cavern.

But the two people opposite her didn't pay any attention to her at all.

Shang Xi held two eyeballs of a second-grade great demon in his hands and spoke directly:
"Disciple, lower your guard and let me help you open your eyes!"

Jing Qian was suddenly inspired and instantly sat cross-legged high in the sky, clearing his mind and beginning to welcome his crucial spiritual transformation!

He already had extensive experience in refining [Spiritual Energy], and he had long since mastered the "Pure Yang Golden Eye Technique".

With Shang Xi's assistance, there was absolutely no reason for him to fail.

The two extremely terrifying eyeballs were successfully cleaved in two by Shang Xi using the magic power of the [Great Micro Sword].

Then, the four eyeballs glued together in pairs, forming a very peculiar double pupil.

This double pupil transformed into a surging beam of magical power, which heavily struck his brow and sea of ​​consciousness.

Jing Qian felt as if his soul had been severely damaged, as if he had been skinned alive and slowly tortured.

The once calm, mirror-like surface of his silver divine consciousness suddenly surged, and hundreds of chains formed from sword energy descended from the void, forcibly constricting his boiling sea of ​​consciousness into a vortex.

This is Shangxi's [Great Micro Sword] anchoring his eye position.

"Concentrate your mind and focus on one thing!"

The master's sharp rebuke pierced through the soul, causing a violent tremor.

Jing Qian bit his tongue, and the Pure Yang Golden Eye Technique surged from his throat, transforming into nine gilded talismans that hung above his sea of ​​consciousness.

At the center of the vortex below, two demonic eyes were melting. The pitch-black zombie aura and scarlet blood patterns struggled like living things, but were shredded layer by layer by the sword energy chains.

He suddenly realized the source of the pain: the crystal wall of his own sea of ​​consciousness was being melted and reassembled, and every grain of divine consciousness was emitting a crisp sound of shattering glass.

The vortex suddenly accelerated in speed, and the molten liquid divine consciousness, carrying the essence of the demonic eyes, began to take shape under the golden light of the talisman.

Just then, Jing Qian's [Qingping Sword Box] suddenly trembled, and a surge of powerful sword energy erupted, heading straight for the vortex of divine consciousness.

The sword energy that Shang Xi followed the demonic eye into his sea of ​​consciousness was completely replaced by Jing Qian's own sword energy.

In his entire sea of ​​consciousness, apart from the two demonic eyes, there was no other alien aura.

Next comes the most crucial step in refining the [Pure Yang Golden Eye]!

To condense a truly powerful [spiritual energy], materials, magic power, destiny, and the essence of the Great Dao are all indispensable.

Right now, Jingqian's materials and magical powers, thanks to Shangxi's gift, are incredibly strong.

Only a sufficiently powerful [Destiny] and the true meaning of the Great Dao can elevate the [Pure Yang Golden Eyes]'s status and divine abilities.

If his accumulation is insufficient, he will certainly be unable to unleash the full power of the precious materials.

Jing Qian, with his exceptionally strong destiny, was confident that he would not lag behind others in this aspect!

With a sudden jolt, numerous [Destiny] within his sea of ​​consciousness erupted with crystalline magical light, illuminating the demonic eyes within the vortex of his divine consciousness.

Immediately, these spiritual lights activated the power hidden within the demonic eyes, and the two began a deep fusion.

This is just like a rehearsal for the condensation of the Dharma image!

Looking closely at Jing Qian's destiny, most of it comes from the inheritance of the Yama Path.

It is precisely the Daoist principles of life, death, and reincarnation transmitted by the [Yanfu Dao] that perfectly resonate with the [Yinling Ancestral Eye].

Taking this opportunity, the entire [Pure Yang Golden Eye] was completely condensed.

In an instant, Jing Qian's sea of ​​consciousness trembled violently once again, as if the earth were splitting and the sky was collapsing!
A complete phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared in the center of his sea of ​​consciousness.

Then, this illusory image of the Six Paths of Reincarnation suddenly merged with Jing Qian's [Pure Yang Golden Eyes].

A crack appeared between his eyebrows, and a vertical eye opened up.

The pupils in his eyes were like carvings of black jade, their crystalline depths revealing a profound understanding of the cycle of reincarnation.

The back of this pupil is engraved with the mark of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and the front has a strange double pupil with alternating black and red, which looks extremely terrifying.

Jing Qian's fifth [Lingji] has finally been fully achieved!
[Inspiration: The Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Three Lives Eye]

【Category: Seeking the Root of Self/The Moon of Heretics】

[Rank: Second Grade]

Life expectancy burden: 7 years/day

It was actually a powerful [Spiritual Ability] with an unimaginably high rank!
As soon as the "Three Lives Eye" appeared, the many "Destinies" in Jing Qian's sea of ​​consciousness rushed towards it, eager to merge with it.

Among them, [Worldly Understanding] is extremely compatible with the Divine Eye, and has never had [Spiritual Ability] to carry [Destiny]. Its free nature gives it the agile speed of a number one sycophant.

It was the first to rush into the [Three Lives Eye], landing on the pupil and occupying the position of the red pupil within the black and red eyes.

Immediately, Jingqian felt that the power of the "Worldly Explanation" destiny had received an indescribable and immense blessing, and it had begun to extend infinitely!
The combination of the "Worldly Understanding" and the "Three Lives Eye" finally allowed him to regain true sight, just as a blind man regains his sight.

He couldn't help but use this divine eye to peer into the outside world.

This spying was also the first time the Three Lives Eyes had displayed its power since it opened!
The divine eye reached the highest heavens, its gaze piercing through the barrier of the Pure Yang Cave Heaven and probing into the true void.

Within the void, shattered destiny stars lay scattered everywhere, remnants of a battle between powerful beings.

Just as Shang Xi had said, those thirty-two radiant "main stars" were each firmly guarded to prevent outsiders from encroaching upon them.

He witnessed all of this.

Jing Qian's gaze went further upwards, extending for an unknown distance, only to be blocked by a thin, deathly membrane.

A heavy sense of malice is enveloping the area outside the Yingfu Pagoda Realm; this is the aftermath of a great calamity that has lasted for three thousand years and has yet to end.

It is a huge threat that the enemy could launch a comeback at any time!

However, none of this was something Jing Qian needed to worry about. After reaching his limit, he turned back on his own.

Immediately afterwards, the Three Lives Eye probed down into the Yellow Springs, focusing its gaze within the realm.

He had taken in the entirety of the twelve continents and twenty-four military continents of the Divine Dynasty, as well as the strongholds of demons and monsters!
Unless protected by a top-tier power's protective array, all information and intelligence could be discovered by Jing Qian.

Even though the sheer volume of information was beyond his capacity to digest, the memories stored in his sea of ​​consciousness would not be forgotten; on the contrary, they were a treasure worth exploring.

However, in Yingdu, siblings drink wine together; on Hunzhou Island, commerce flourishes; and at the bottom of the Sea of ​​Wrongful Souls, fierce ghosts ride phoenixes.

These familiar people and things still attracted some of his attention.

As his gaze continued to penetrate deeper, even the core of the [Yingfutu Realm] could not withstand his probing. He spotted a colossal core of primordial energy.

Here, a palace of white bones stands peacefully, radiating a vast expanse of yin energy that merges into the core of the realm.

This is the remaining part of [Yambuddha] buried in the core of the realm, and it is also the place that Jing Qian has long wanted to go and explore.

With the foresight of the Three Lives Eye, he easily figured out the path forward, saving him a lot of effort.

Thus, the 1.4 taels of "fate" in the "Worldly Explanation" were perfectly embodied by the "Three Lives Eye," and he completed another extremely special "spiritual destiny shaping."

While the "Worldly Solution" is incredibly miraculous, it is merely a "Flawed Fate" position, lacking one of the three major "Metal Roots" in one's destiny.

After the Three Lives Eye merged with it, at a certain moment, the gaze quietly pierced the membrane surrounding the Yingfu Pagoda Realm and peered into the infinite distance.

There, a three-headed demon monk was devouring the sun.

Jing Qian and the Ghost Monk locked eyes, and in that instant, they sensed each other's presence. This was a battle of wits, a fight to the death!

The Ghost Monk's [Skull of the Angry Buddha] was the most volatile, his facial features twisted to the extreme, as if he wished he could devour Jing Qian across endless time and space.

But the next second, Jing Qian shrank back and disappeared from the three-headed ghost monk's perception.

Before today, Jing Qian was in the open while the Ghost Monk was in the shadows. He had no idea that he had already fallen into the scheme of this terrifying Buddha.

But after today, he glimpsed a trace of the enemy's information, which can be considered as obtaining some key intelligence. However, isn't this also a case of stirring up trouble?
Above the blazing sun, only the angry Buddha could be heard shouting:

"Since the junior was able to detect our location, the fruit must be ripe, and we can go back and pick it!"

"Get out there, get out there! Don't wait until he grows up and only cause more trouble!"

……

Inside the Pure Yang Cave, Jing Qian closed the Three Lives Eye that he had just condensed.

This method is extremely unique. When he closes his divine eye, this [spiritual energy] will fall into a deep sleep, and the burden of lifespan will be temporarily removed.

This gave Jing Qian a chance to catch his breath; otherwise, if he had kept his eyes open, he would have been worn down by this divine eye in no time.

The moment he opened his eyes, it took him a whole day, which corresponds to a full seven years of lifespan depletion—far beyond what an ordinary cultivator could bear.

But when the second [Destiny] landed on the [Three Lives Eye], Jing Qian's divine eyes, which had just been closed, opened again!
【Original Qi - Yin】following 【Worldly Understanding】, it entered 【Three Lives Eye】.

Based on its own magical attributes, it went straight for the Six Paths of Reincarnation mark behind the Divine Eye and landed solidly on the [Asura Path].

Of the [Fate] of [Original Qi - Yin], five coins were borne by [Three Lives Eye]. Jing Qian then released another portion of his precious [Fate].

With the help of this Yin energy [Destiny], Jing Qian's [Three Lives Eye] directly pierced through the barrier of the Great Dao and cast his gaze into the [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi].

This place is a unique location beneath the origin of the Great Dao, and its status corresponds to the "Spiritual Life Void Sea" where cultivators refine their "Destiny".

Within it lies an endless gathering of primordial energy, and all kinds of primordial energy originate from this [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi].

The various primordial energies in the sea are clearly separated from each other, forming thin layers of primordial energy, each independent.

With the help of the Three Lives Eye, Jing Qian directly saw the layer where the Yin Qi was located, and he peered upwards and downwards from the layer where the Yin Qi was located.

However, apart from Yin Qi, other Yuan Qi completely rejected him, making it impossible for Jing Qian to see through the Yuan Qi attributes of other layers.

He was simply counting, while also trying to glimpse the mysteries of the [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi], which would be of great use to his future cultivation!

The day after Jing Qian opened the Eyes of Six Paths of Reincarnation and Three Lives, they all remained deep within the Sea of ​​Primordial Qi.

After his detailed count, he found that there were three thousand layers of primordial energy in this [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi], representing three thousand different kinds of primordial energy in the present world.

Following the [Yin Qi], the [Original Qi - Ghost] fell into the [Hungry Ghost Realm] on the back of the [Three Lives Eye].

The divine eye then opened for the third day!

On this day, he focused his attention on the layer of ghostly energy within the Sea of ​​Primordial Qi.

The layer containing the "ghostly aura" is only one layer away from the layer containing the "yin aura"!
He strained to probe the layer of primordial energy between the Yin energy and the ghost energy, and he vaguely felt that this primordial energy would be of great use to him.

It wasn't until the third day was almost over that he finally used the vision of the Three Lives Eye to completely see through this layer of Yang energy.

To Jing Qian's surprise, after he used his second-rank Three Lives Eye to penetrate the Yang Qi layer, a Destiny Element spontaneously condensed deep within his sea of ​​consciousness.

This [Purple Eyes] rank [Yang Qi] destiny, without any secret cultivation or nourishment with precious materials, truly fell into Jing Qian's sea of ​​consciousness as if it were born innately.

He refined the [Spiritual Energy] and actually produced a Primordial [Life Essence]!
[Yang Qi] Ming Gelei, unable to break through, landed in the [Human Path] behind the [Three Lives Eye], and was also burdened with five coins of [fate].

More importantly, Jing Qian completely saw through the three thousand layers of primordial energy sea within the 【Sea of ​​Primordial Qi】, the three layers that were closely adjacent to each other.

Subsequently, on the fourth day after opening the Divine Eye, [Original Qi - Netherworld] fell into the [Hell Path] of the [Three Lives Eye], and the Divine Eye continued to focus its gaze on the depths of the [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi].

This time, Jing Qian was shocked to discover that the sea layer where the [Netherworld Qi] was located was separated from the [Ghost Qi] by another layer of unknown primordial energy.

At this point, he had already seen through the four layers, which, in order, were [Yin Qi], [Yang Qi], [Ghost Qi], unknown primordial Qi, and [Netherworld Qi].

Jing Qian finally gained a crucial insight.

In the Sea of ​​Primordial Qi, the three thousand layers of primordial energy are arranged in order of the types of primordial energy he has mastered, and are further separated according to their yin and yang attributes.

Between this [ghostly energy] and [necromantic energy], there should be another primordial energy of the yang attribute.

Having gained this understanding, Jing Qian became more efficient at probing the interlayered primordial energy. In just half a day, he saw through this [Diamond Qi].

Immediately, a [Diamond Qi] destiny quietly landed in his sea of ​​consciousness, and was then imbued with five coins of [fate] by the [Animal Path] behind his divine eye.

At this point, of the six realms of reincarnation behind the "Three Lives Eye," only the "Heavenly Realm" remains vacant.

Taking advantage of the remaining time, Jing Qian decided to go all out and, carrying the power of five layers of Yuan Qi, charged towards the Yuan Qi sea layer outside the [Netherworld Qi].

"boom!"

The gaze of the Three Lives Eye was so tangible that it completely comprehended the Purple Extreme Thunder Qi.

Thus, the third Yang-attribute [Primordial Qi Life] was condensed by Jing Qian and fell into the [Heavenly Human Path] of the Divine Eye.

In an instant, on the Eye of Three Lives, the three Yin and three Yang, the six great [Primordial Qi Life] gathered together, and these six reincarnation marks actually began to rotate!

Then, within the [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi], a unique vortex affecting all six layers of the Primordial Qi Sea quietly emerged.

The immense primordial energy was drawn into the vortex and completely absorbed by the [Three Lives Eye].

Jing Qian, this [Lingji], opened a fairly spacious core of primordial energy for himself in the [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi].

With this core completed, his authority within the [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi] greatly increased, and he could scan back and forth with the gaze of the [Three Lives Eye] with greater ease.

At the end of this fourth day, he successfully saw through another layer of the secrets of the [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi].

In the depths of this sea, a long river of karmic fire, shimmering with the essence of destiny, appeared—the Sea of ​​Spiritual Destiny and Emptiness, which he had visited several times before.

Above the Sea of ​​Primordial Qi, a towering mountain rises, within which even more profound and subtle Immortal Qi gathers.

This is the Immortal Qi Mountain, whose status is still above the Sea of ​​Primordial Qi.

Jingqian looked up from the sea towards the mountain and saw that there were many stone tablets scattered on the fairy mountain.

Different names are engraved on different stone tablets, and each stone tablet represents a second-rank angler.

When a cultivator of the Earthly Fiends type burns themselves with fiendish fire, they can condense a higher level of Immortal Spiritual Energy than that of the Metal Root Life Essence.

If this [Immortal Spiritual Energy] can resonate with the celestial stars, it can complete the advancement to the [Star-Picking] rank.

The core of each [Destiny Star]'s vital energy is connected to this [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi].

In the cultivation of the "Star-Picking" cultivators, using the "Immortal Spiritual Energy" they have gathered to climb the "Immortal Qi Mountain" from the "Sea of ​​Primordial Qi" is an extremely important part.

When a cultivator who has successfully plucked stars projects their immortal spiritual energy onto the Immortal Qi Mountain, their destiny will leave a mark on the mountain, marking the moment they advance to the third rank of "Mending the Heavens".

At this point, his cultivation had reached the upper three ranks.

If one wishes to continue advancing, one must use one's own understanding of the Great Dao to build a "Destiny Stele" on this "Mountain of Immortal Qi".

This [Life Stele] is the anchor point for the immortality of a second-grade cultivator.

As long as the [Life Stele] stands, a second-rank cultivator will be immortal. Even if their physical body, soul, and magical power are completely destroyed, they can return from the [Mountain of Immortal Qi].

Therefore, a second-rank expert can only suppress, not kill!
Unless a second-rank expert of equal rank intervenes and completely dismantles the opponent's [Life Tablet].

However, the difficulty involved is no less than rebuilding a [Life Monument].

The Pure Yang Heaven suppressed two second-rank great demons, but always left them alive, precisely because it was worried that completely killing them would give them a chance to return.

It was only on his deathbed that Shangxi made up his mind to dismantle the "Mother Yaksha's" "Life Stele".

With the blessing of the [Six Paths of Reincarnation and Three Lives Eye], Jing Qian finally unveiled the mystery of the upper three levels of cultivation.

His horizons broadened considerably!

Only then did he finally close the "Three Lives Eyes" that he had kept open for three consecutive days.

He opened his eyes for four days, which consumed twenty-eight years of his lifespan, but the gains were also quite extraordinary.

The convergence of three perfectly matched [Destiny] elements greatly boosted his magical power.

The vast primordial energy within the [Three Lives Eye] began to transform into the higher-ranking [Immortal Spiritual Energy].

He essentially began part of the cultivation of the [Earthly Fiend] and [Star-Picking] realms many years ahead of schedule.

Even at this point, the refinement of the [Six Paths of Reincarnation and Three Lives Eye] has not stopped!
Within the pupil of the Three Lives Eye, there is another black pupil that can contain a [Destiny].

However, within Jing Qian's sea of ​​consciousness, apart from the [Tide] and [Sword Momentum] Destinies, there are no other independently existing [Destinies]!

Before [Tide] could even get close, it was glared at and sent back by [Three Lives Eyes].

The [Tide], which has not yet been promoted, has a low rank and incompatible attributes, making it completely unable to integrate into the [Three Lives Eye].

However, the [Destiny] that is compatible with the attributes and qualified to be integrated is not independent; it has long been divided up by Jing Qian's other [Spiritual Insights]!
At this moment, the position of the Three Lives Eye was left vacant, and surprisingly, several Destinies, attracted by the higher-ranking Spiritual Abilities, wanted to rebel!

First, the destiny of the [Bridge of Helplessness] roused its spirits, wanting to break away from [Yanfu Heaven] and betray it to [Three Lives Eye].

However, [Yanfu Heaven] is also of a high and profound status, being the core of Jing Qian's [Yanfu Dao] lineage. With just a slight tremor, [Naihe Bridge] was suppressed.

Following closely behind, [Dushita Furnace] also wanted to join in the fun, just like [World-Knowing].

But in the [Virtual Realm], the black cat Qili clung to the leg of the furnace and wouldn't let go, wailing and howling:

"Brother Furnace!"

"Brother Furnace, you can't abandon me! Meow!"

"Don't go, Brother Lu!"

[Douluo Furnace] was successfully persuaded to return by [Qili Divine Seal]. As long as you are humble enough, even a cat-licker can rise to the top.

Just then, the entanglement of karma wrapped around the life-locking needle suddenly disintegrated while the needle was not paying attention, and the fishing line abandoned the hook and headed straight for the black pupil in the three-life eye.

The Life-Locking Needle, being of low rank and lacking in spirituality, and being a newcomer, was truly ensnared by the Karmic Entanglement!

Jing Qian's mind was instantly thrown into chaos as the [Life-Locking Needle] flickered violently, completely breaching his defenses.

But Jingqian also realized that the [Entanglement of Cause and Effect] was indeed a better match for the [Three Lives Eye].

He then manipulated the [Tide] destiny, rolled up the [Life-Locking Needle], and paired his weakest [Destiny] with his weakest [Spiritual Ability].

At this point, the pupil of the Three Lives Eye contains the Understanding of the World and the Entanglement of Cause and Effect, and is connected by the six great primordial energies of the Three Yin and Three Yang behind it, thus achieving complete perfection!

【Chunyangtian】You really made the right choice!
He had only just begun his studies when he encountered an incredible opportunity that he never dared to dream of before!
Immediately, Jing Qian opened his Three Lives Eye for the fifth time, consuming another seven years of his lifespan, and locked his divine gaze onto the Pure Yang Sword Diagram.

A surge of sword energy erupted from the sword diagram, and the bronze longsword, under the observation of the [Three Lives Eye], leaped up and slashed towards Jing Qian's sea of ​​consciousness.

Jing Qian didn't care at all. This was the necessary process for a Pure Yang Heaven cultivator to comprehend the sword diagram. This sword strike contained his unique Pure Yang sword dao inheritance, which filled him with great anticipation.

Just as the sword strike was about to penetrate his sea of ​​consciousness, the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele] that had been suppressing him deep within his sea of ​​consciousness suddenly extended and shattered the sword strike!
