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

Chapter 203 Advancement and Reward Space Reopens
Mo Pin'er completed her fourth-rank advancement within the [Great Black Heaven], and as a result, she awakened a [Great Black Heaven Ink Shadow Immortal Talisman], which is the [Destiny] of the Shadow lineage.

Since her advancement, she has been refining this [Ink Shadow Immortal Talisman] day and night, and burying it within the core of the realm's primordial energy.

As a highly talented "celestial ghost," she abandoned all her own cultivation and devoted herself entirely to Jing Qian's plan.

After Jing Qian condensed the Book of Life and Death, she received the blessing of the Ghost Seal, which allowed her to maintain her cultivation at the Heaven-Mending Realm for a long time.

After that, she became even more reckless and began to devote herself to refining and burying talismans.

All the groundwork she laid has come to a head today!

The explosion originating from the sunny side was the signal for her to activate more than 70,000 [Immortal Talismans].

This is also the reason why the Yin side of [Daikokuten] was completely detonated.

In an instant, the entire realm shattered along the nodes.

The 100,000 great ghosts, who were prepared in advance, became fulcrums among themselves, connecting countless void rifts.

The entire yin side seemed to have opened a hundred thousand mouths, devouring the gushing matter and energy.

The [Sumeru] dimension has received a massive influx of resources and is evolving rapidly!
Changes also occur on the sunny side.

While Jing Qian was still basking in the afterglow of his advancement and was fully focused on summarizing his gains,

The [Feast God], in his incarnation, is holding the [Azure Lotus Sword Box] and is collecting the hundred suns one by one.

The Qingping Sword Box, a first-grade item, has virtually no limit to the amount of magical power it can hold.

The entire system on the sunny side has collapsed, and the hundred suns, intertwined with each other, are also on the verge of exploding.

Whenever a sun is collected into the Azure Lotus Sword Box by the [Feast God] and freed from the gravitational suppression of other great suns, it will explode directly.

[Banquet God] filters the primordial energy generated by the sun's explosion into the [Azure Lotus Sword Box], reserving it to nurture sword energy.

The remaining material debris was also sent to the [Sumeru] dimension to replenish the material.

At this moment, the magical power within the [Banquet God]'s body has been completely transformed into [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi]. Relying on its super-strong physical body, first-grade [Spiritual Energy], and excellent-quality [Immortal Qi] magical power, the [Banquet God]'s combat strength is even greater than that of its original body.

When he wielded the Yin-Yang Immortal Sword Embryo, it was like a giant dragon devouring the sun; with a flick of its wrist, it swallowed up countless suns whole.

Jing Qian is about to devour a Celestial Being whole!
Even though the [Great Black Heaven] was not strong, and all the cultivators within it had been wiped out by Zhu Yun.

However, for a cultivator who specializes in the Great Dao of Space, the gains from this are unimaginable.

Jingqian ignored the turmoil in the world and peacefully devoted himself to cultivation in the Great Black Heaven.

When he returns to the public eye, his strength and status will have undergone a qualitative change!
……

Deep within the void lies a [Cube Universe], constructed from twenty-seven demonic [Celestial Realms].

The entire universe is square, with three vertical lines, three horizontal lines, and three vertical lines, just like a 3x3 Rubik's Cube!

This universe is one of the demonic forces in the void, where countless great demons multiply and cultivate.

Demons are inherently cruel, fond of killing, conquering, and plundering.

Therefore, this [Cube Universe] does not exist in one place, but rather, like a demonic calamity, it flows everywhere in the void.

Its form is not fixed. It is based on the "Magic Cube Sky" unit, sometimes gathering and sometimes scattering. As the saying goes, when it gathers, it is a mass of blood; when it scatters, it is a sky full of stench.

All the major demon races conquer other realms in order to ensure their own reproduction.

The Great Black Heaven, dominated by the Shadow Demon clan, is actually one of the twenty-seven Demon Cube Heavens.

However, this unlucky [Daheitian], having been entangled with two [Chunyangzi]s, has reached the peak of his bad luck.

First, their entire clan was slaughtered, and their bloodline was wiped out.

Later, even the boundary was devoured alive by humans, leaving not a single tile behind.

It was truly a scene of utter desolation and misery!
[Magic Cube Heaven] has always regarded itself as the world-destroying demonic calamity, conquering other realms, but this time it was others who wiped out its entire family!
For the entire Rubik's Cube universe, this is a cause and effect that must be resolved!

Right now, [Cube Sky] is in a quiet period where everyone is scattered, developing their own strength, and waiting for the next team fight.

But the calamity that befell [Daheitian] was the best call to arms!
The [Cube Universe] will soon converge to jointly defeat the enemy that destroyed [Daheitian], and in doing so, select a new demon to fill the position of [Daheitian].

No one felt sorry for Mahakala; on the contrary, countless great demons were genuinely celebrating for them.

Such a grand event is rare in the history of the [Cube Universe].

……

Inside the Yingfu Pagoda Realm, Zhu Yun had just woken up from meditation and stretched out a big yawn.

During the process of dividing the Pure Yang Sword Box, his cultivation also made great progress. He finally broke through the limit, condensed his own unique Immortal Qi power, and his cultivation level soared.

It has only been a few decades since he killed the Shadow Demon and forged the Life Stele in the Great Black Heaven, yet his cultivation has already made great progress.

If it were any other sect, they should be carefully honing their foundation and slowly trying to break through.

But what can you do when he's called Chunyangzi?

Despite being able to spend decades in quiet cultivation, Zhu Yun did not feel any joy.

He knew perfectly well that the hard times were yet to come, and the more relaxed he was now, the more terrifying the calamities to come.

Just as he expected!
He entered the realm as a first-grade [Azure Lotus Seed], but he unexpectedly became a tall, rebellious figure, determined to fight the enemy to the death.

This calamity is far more ferocious than being trapped in the Great Black Heaven before.

As top-tier sword cultivator sects in the void, only Chunyang, Qinglian, and Xuanyuan truly understand how terrifying each other's strength is!
With his cultivation reaching the first rank and having mastered the [Divine Light] technique, Shi Xuan of the [Azure Lotus Seed] could kill Zhu Yun in just a few sword strikes.

However, Zhu Yun did not show the slightest sign of nervousness. Instead, she took out a golden bamboo from her sea of ​​consciousness, held it in her hand, and began to caress it.

As Ren Chong's junior brother, Zhu Yun has been cultivating for nearly ten thousand years.

The fact that he, as Chunyangzi, is still alive and well is proof of his talent and good fortune.

Compared to Ren Chong, his cultivation speed was far behind.

While Ren Chong already possessed the Time Sequence and could glimpse the secrets of time, he had only just erected the Life Stele and condensed Immortal Qi. His combat power was almost overtaken by the Chi Xiao brat.

Whether compared horizontally or vertically, he appears quite lackluster.

He's too weak for Chunyangzi!
It should be noted that the reason why [Chunyangzi] roams the void without anyone daring to provoke him is not only because he is plagued by calamities, making people avoid him like the plague.

Their cult-like system, ingrained in their very being, is also of paramount importance.

[Chunyangzi] can die, can become unlucky, but he absolutely cannot be weak, much less can he be weak!
Zhu Yun appears weak at this moment, and there must be a reason behind it!

The section of golden bamboo he retrieved from his sea of ​​consciousness was no ordinary item.

This was the greatest opportunity he had obtained during his past years of cultivation.

This is the fundamental reason why his cultivation pace was slowed down and why he fell far behind Ren Chong.

This section of golden bamboo is the original spiritual treasure nurtured at the core of a once-destroyed [Purple Thunder Bamboo Universe].

Normally, when the universe is destroyed, this section of the Purple Thunder Bamboo should also fall and disintegrate, turning into fragments, with no possibility of survival.

However, this Purple Thunder Bamboo possesses the characteristics of bamboo, being extremely resilient and having a tenacious vitality.

It truly preserved the last bamboo segment.

As for how Zhu Yun was fortunate enough to obtain this [Purple Thunder Bamboo], it was a matter of personal chance and will not be elaborated upon.

All you need to know is that this [Purple Thunder Bamboo] is perfectly suited to his life and soul!
Over the years, at least half of Zhu Yun's energy and magical power have been forcibly taken away by this [Purple Thunder Bamboo]. He and this remnant of the [Spiritual Treasure] have become one and inseparable.

Now that he has successfully condensed his own [Immortal Qi], the [Purple Thunder Bamboo] has finally ushered in its opportunity to be born.

Zhu Yun has overdrawn so much time and resources, and it's finally time to reap the rewards.

A beam of divine light shone from the Purple Thunder Bamboo, entering the sea of ​​consciousness of the bamboo cloud and piercing through the Immortal Qi Mountain, illuminating his life tablet.

The [Eight-Character Stele] that Zhu Yun had painstakingly forged suddenly began a peculiar transformation, slowly turning from a stone stele into a nine-section golden bamboo.

His cultivation level also reached the pinnacle of the second rank!
Furthermore, he simultaneously comprehended his own unique [Bamboo Yang Huan Life Divine Light]!
But the changes brought about by this section of Purple Thunder Bamboo had not yet been exhausted. It gently fell into Zhu Yun's Sword Box, took root, and grew in his Sword Box.

That sword energy, nurtured by Zhu Yun for many years, was considerably weaker than that of the other [Pure Yang Masters].

After all, the resources that were meant to be used to condense sword energy were consumed by the Purple Thunder Bamboo.

And at this moment, everything has been made up for doubly.

Zhu Yun's sword energy was abruptly absorbed by the Purple Thunder Bamboo, and after being nurtured for a while, it was released again.

The sword energy began to circulate between the [Sword Box] and the [Purple Thunder Bamboo], constantly being refined.

During this process, the quality of the sword energy improved rapidly, and it even acquired a trace of transcendence from the [Purple Thunder Bamboo]!

As the saying goes, even last-minute sharpening of a spear can be effective, though not necessarily quick.

Zhu Yun is seizing every moment to improve her combat strength in preparation for receiving the [Azure Lotus Seed].

This was his tribulation, but also an opportunity that forced him to grow!

……

Within the [Insect Nest Heaven], the [Five Emperors' Divine Light] and the [Shuming Sword Light] intertwined, and neither could gain the upper hand over the other!
This is a great battle between [Goddess Egao] and [Qinglianzi]!

The Empress possessed immense magical power, firmly suppressing Shi Xuan within the [Insect Nest Heaven], preventing him from escaping.

However, her invincible [Divine Light] magic power was completely ineffective against Shi Xuan's [Sword Light].

The two have been locked in a stalemate for a while now!

For the Empress, the unexpected arrival of unwelcome guests at her home was quite annoying.

Under other circumstances, she would have already gone all out and fought a fierce battle with the other party.

However, after some calculation, she had already guessed what Shi Xuan's purpose was.

So he changed his approach.

If the other party wants to cause trouble for [Pure Yang Heaven], the Empress can simply stand by and watch.

After the opponent suppresses [Pure Yang Heaven], he will appear as a savior and drive the enemy away.

This would allow Jing Qian to owe him a favor, and then have him bear a child for her later, which would give her a leverage point.

Although she will probably still have to resort to force, having a legitimate reason for doing so is still very important.

Therefore, the Empress turned a blind eye to the invasion of the [Green Lotus Seed].

When the [Mysterious Mirror] finally reflected Chi Miao's figure, [Azure Lotus Seed] immediately activated the Treasure Mirror's divine power and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

【Egao Shangdi】calculated the direction the other party had gone and then returned to 【Dongming Palace】.

Before long, an extremely magnificent phoenix boat flew out from the [Dongming Palace] and disappeared into the depths of the starry sea.

【Tianxiang】 and 【Guixiang】 traveled together, following 【Qinglianzi】, and also headed to 【Yingfutu Realm】.

……

Within the [Eastern Extreme Yu Yu Chang Sheng Tian], two sword lights, one in front and one behind, were flying away at extremely high speed.

These two sword lights came from the Southern Demonic Tathagata Heaven and headed towards the Northern Elegant Emperor Boundless Heaven, spanning three heavens and covering a distance of countless billions.

The escape light in front moved with ease, while the escape light behind struggled to follow.

Only when the streak of light in front of them grew impatient did it finally speak:
"Return to your nest! Your cultivation is not high enough, yet you insist on joining in the fun. You're just wasting our time!"

"Fly slowly on your own, I'm going first!"

Having said that, a sword pellet spun in his heart, releasing boundless sword light that pierced through countless obstacles and flashed forward, leaving the person behind in the blink of an eye.

The swordsman behind him rolled his eyes, but there was nothing he could do but patiently chase after him.

His own master, Wu Changsheng, possessed unparalleled strength, and by the time he arrived, he feared he would miss the most spectacular sword duel. The two before him, Wu Changsheng and Yan Huanchao, were both formidable warriors, and were master and disciple.

The fact that they rushed so quickly, heading straight for the northern sky, was undoubtedly also for the [Green Lotus Seed].

[Xuanyuan] claims to be the number one lineage in terms of combat power in the [Daoyuan Divine Shuttle Universe].

[Wu Changsheng] has always considered himself invincible among those of the same rank.

If anyone else were to enter this realm, Wu Changsheng wouldn't even give them a second glance.

But these [green lotus seeds] are different!
As ancestral temples of sword cultivators, [Xuanyuanzi] and [Qinglianzi] rarely have the opportunity to directly clash.

Wu Changsheng's Dao heart was stirred, and he was determined to test the strength and foundation of Qinglianzi!

He vanished in a flash, his speed as swift as a ray of light.

……

The outside world's turmoil has absolutely nothing to do with Jing Qian in "Daheitian".

He is fully enjoying the great pleasure, perfection, and freedom that come with his cultivation advancement!

This promotion brought him comprehensive benefits.

Whether it was the improvement of his physical body or the refinement of [Immortal Qi], his strength was elevated to a new level.

The direct entry of [Daheitian] into [Sumeru] further strengthened him, pushing him to a new peak.

At this moment, the nine orifices of the Great Sun were like a surging ocean, pouring [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi] into his body. It was as if he was using the [Original Qi Sea] as a money printing machine, taking the precious [Immortal Qi] as if it were free.

These nine acupoints represent the speed at which his mana recovers and the sources of his vital energy after his advancement.

Compared to other cultivators, he was many times stronger!
This inexhaustible source of [Immortal Qi] far exceeded the upper limit of my magical power after my recent advancement.

For cultivators at the "Star-Picking" level, and even for those at the higher three ranks, their maximum mana is only related to the "Heavenly Mandate" they have condensed.

Before Jing Qian mastered the secret method of amplifying magical power passed down in the Pure Yang Heaven, he could only contain twenty-six strands of the Nine Desolate Immortal Qi.

Any remaining Immortal Qi, aside from being used to nourish Pangu's body, was poured into the Azure Lotus Sword Box.

With the first-grade sword box, he didn't have to worry about wasting resources.

With his profound knowledge and skills, Jing Qian truly achieved freedom of magic.

Finally, the sounds of explosions around him gradually subsided, and the disintegration of [Daikokuten] had come to an end.

The entire realm has been broken down into smaller parts and scattered into the [Sumeru] dimension.

The resulting comprehensive support even surprised Jing Qian.

The more he explored what he had gained, the more his mind was shaken and he was completely absorbed in it.

Just then, he suddenly stood up, vanished from the real world in a flash, and sat back down in the [Virtual Realm].

His soul and consciousness rushed toward the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele] in his sea of ​​consciousness, and in the blink of an eye, he entered the space of the life stele.

After a long wait, the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele] has finally completed its evolution.

He eagerly anticipated entering the room, ready to see what new functions his Dao Stele had evolved.

Within the space of the Life Stele, there were not many changes compared to before the evolution.

The outside world is already a closely connected three-fold Dao illusion, within which the incarnation of the [Insect Mother] at the peak of her realm has appeared.

Before Jing Qian could even process this gain, the space of the Destiny Stele closed. At this moment, he had no time to pay attention to her and instead focused his gaze on the space behind the Destiny Stele.

The only change in this evolution is that a burial mound has appeared behind the [Life Stele].

Moreover, a large hole had been dug in the center of the burial mound.

There was clearly an open jade coffin inside!

Jing Qian silently walked to the burial mound and carefully sensed its presence.

Then, he bent down and crawled into the grave mound, and lay down there.

The jade coffin seemed to have been tailor-made for him, fitting his figure perfectly.

He lay down inside and found the jade coffin to be of moderate size, with neat lines, and quite comfortable.

Only by sensing the jade coffin with his mind did he finally learn about the new wonders that appeared on the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele] after this evolution.

The [Celestial Coffin] before us is the very source of this divine power, and it has immeasurable benefits for Jing Qian's cultivation at the third rank.

When he was in it, his own cultivation system seemed to be forcibly peeled off from his body and stood independently in front of him again.

Numerous [destinies] and [spiritual opportunities], and even the [sage's appearance] and [immortal energy] that emerge from their fusion.

They all manifested from that mysterious state into tangible objects.

As long as Jing Qian is inside this "Coffin of Heaven and Man", he can personally change his system and reshape his path!
What about predetermined fate, destiny forged by divine inspiration, and the attainment of a Dharma form? It's all possible to start over!

All of this still requires a vast lifespan as its driving force.

But Jingqian already possesses the power of [Time Sequence], and if he is squeezed hard, his lifespan will be endless.

He can make full use of this [Coffin of Heaven and Man] to modify and replace all the unsuitable and imperfect elements in his own system!
We need to rebuild a more powerful new system.

In short, Jingqian can reset his skill points!
You can redistribute your talents now!

Even though each change requires consuming a massive amount of lifespan and a huge amount of resources to re-condense the [Destiny] or refine the [Spiritual Energy].

But it was all so worth it!
After completing the [Shooting the Sun] advancement, Jing Qian also gained a full understanding of the upcoming [Mending the Heavens] cultivation.

For a normal cultivator, this stage requires them to fully complete their "fate".

Only by filling the gap in destiny with a new destiny and condensing the spiritual energy of a golden immortal can one advance to the third-grade realm of mending the heavens.

This is an extremely important and crucial juncture for everyone, a key step in perfecting their own systems.

Compared to others, Jing Qian was not given the opportunity to complete and improve the system, but rather the opportunity to completely modify and replace it.

The enormous difference between them is self-evident!

His mind was already racing with calculations!

All the destinies he had ever seen and could think of began to flash through his mind like a revolving lantern.

To figure out how to use the [Coffin of Heaven and Man] to create a perfect system requires quite a bit of careful thought.

He doesn't have a mature plan yet, so he can only leave it aside for now.

Jing Qian crawled out of the [Coffin of the Celestials], silently walked to the [Stele of the Great Dao of Sumeru], and carefully examined his attributes:
[Host: Jing Qian]

[Lifespan: 2341 years]

[Destiny number: 9.6 taels / 16.8 taels]

【Nine Desolate Immortal Qi: 28】

[Title: Superior Grade*2, Medium Grade*1]

[Dharma Image: The Sage of Mount Sumeru wielding a sword opens the cycle of six realms of reincarnation]

[Spiritual Insights: Three Lives Eye, Yin Extreme, Sumeru, Pure Yang, Sacrificial Rites, Good Corn, Reincarnation Disc, Book of Life and Death, Jambudvipa, Green Lotus Sword Box, Qili Divine Seal, Array Nail, Banquet God]

【Destiny: Time Sequence *1, Fate *28】

After the promotion, the gap in my destiny became even larger!
Even without considering rebuilding the system and resetting his stats, he would still need to expend a great deal of energy and resources to achieve perfect cultivation.

This time, we must remove the unwanted [Destiny] and replace it with a stronger [Destiny].

Just imagining it makes you realize this is a huge undertaking!
Once he has fully mastered it, the amount of [Heavenly Mandate] he possesses will likely far exceed the comprehension of other cultivators.

At first glance, these twenty-eight [Heavenly Mandates] all possess powerful abilities.

However, as he cultivated, many of his [destinies] had already deteriorated.

At the very least, the six paths of primordial energy that occupy a large portion of his destiny can be removed from the system.

He has already condensed the [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi], possessing the cores of nine Great Suns, which allows direct access to the [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi], granting him even higher authority than the [Original Qi].

The replacement of these six [Primordial Qi Fate] alone can double the improvement of his system.

However, among the other [Destiny] systems, the intertwining of [Pure Yang] and [Yanfu] is not a perfect match.

Although his formidable strength remains unchanged, with further careful adjustments, he could undoubtedly achieve even greater improvement.

It was an incredibly massive undertaking!
It seems Jing Qian will be stuck in this "mending the sky" phase for quite some time.

However, he was not worried about this. With his current strength, apart from those who had comprehended the [Divine Light] and were beyond his ability to defeat, he could fight against any of the remaining enemies, even those who were only at the first rank.

Even when facing a powerful being of divine light, there is still a divine light refining factory of the hungry ghost body within his Sumeru dimension.

He still has nine [Ghost King Divine Light] reserves.

It is even slowly growing over time.

From any perspective, he doesn't need to rush into a promotion.

Right now, what he needs to focus all his efforts on is how to choose a more suitable [Destiny].

However, this is something that can't be rushed!
He still needs to focus on doing his current spiritual practice well.

Jing Qian withdrew his mind from the space of the Life Stele and returned to the present world.

Afterwards, he immersed himself in the [Void Realm] and began the final stage of cultivation after advancing to the [Star-Picking] realm.

That is, to master a secret technique for amplifying magical power as soon as possible!

Newly promoted Star-Picking cultivators can only bear a few strands of Immortal Spiritual Energy.

Even with Jing Qian's exceptional talent, he only possessed twenty-eight strands of [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi].

Even by practicing the most rudimentary magic amplification technique, a [Star-Picking] cultivator can easily multiply their own magic power.

If the cultivation technique is profound enough, a cultivator's magical power can increase a thousandfold.

There is a huge difference between them!
For Jing Qian, the original body possessed a superior amount of [Immortal Qi], so the amplification effect on his magical power was naturally more pronounced.

This magical power amplification technique was truly a way for him to further widen the gap between himself and others.

Jing Qian had long been familiar with such secret techniques and had even thoroughly understood them.

Once practiced, the effects are immediately apparent.

He chose the "Pure Yang Inspiration Technique," a secret technique passed down through the Pure Yang lineage, which is considered the strongest among magic power amplification techniques.

It is far more powerful than the "Art of Controlling Ghost Qi" from the exorcism secrets of the [Yanfu Dao].

When it comes to spells outside of orthodox methods, the Pure Yang Heaven always manages to pull out some powerful yet sinister secret techniques.

Jing Qian then used the secret method passed down in the "Pure Yang Inspiration Technique" to first communicate with the "Eye of Momentary Eternity" embedded in his brow.

The unique aura of this innate [Spiritual Ability] was instantly activated by the secret technique.

The twenty-eight strands of [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi] within his sea of ​​consciousness emerged one after another, slightly colliding with the [Eternal Eye of Moment] before reversing and returning.

During this process of going in and out, his magical power reserves actually doubled!

Currently, his maximum magical power has reached fifty-six [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi]!
He easily squeezed out twice the amount of magical power from his body, which he originally thought was already incredibly full.

But this is only the effect of practicing the Pure Yang Inspiration Technique so far!

Jing Qian possesses abundant spiritual potential, and his room for growth in magical power is even greater!
