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

Chapter 8: Life on Fire
Jing Qian's incarnation descended into the space of the Life Monument, and without any pause, he directly entered into his own unique rhythm of practice.

The two cultivators opposite had both reached the ninth level of the [Destiny] realm in their lifetime, and each had more than seven [White Fang Life Essences].

If there were not enough matching [Fate] refining methods, I would have already gathered enough [Life Essence] and been promoted to the eighth-grade [Dragon Elephant] realm.

The single-digit [White Fang Life Essence] may seem scarce, but in fact, it is enough to give the two cultivators a life essence that is several times stronger than that of ordinary people!

Coupled with the magical [fate], the combat power that the two can unleash is terrifying!
As a young Karami who has not yet entered the Dao, Jing Qian cannot fight against it by his own strength. He can only wear it down bit by bit through the defense of the safe zone.

Fortunately, even if there were only a few leftovers from these two monks, it would be enough for Jing Qian to digest thoroughly!

“【0.69】！”

“【0.75】!”

“【0.83】！”

……

He is getting closer and closer to condensing the first [White Fang Life Essence] in his life!
For Jing Qian at this time, this is a fundamental qualitative change from nothing to something!

From a weak mortal to someone with a little magical power, this feeling of accumulating and improving bit by bit is quite amazing.

A [White Fang Life Essence], in essence, represents the entire life source possessed by an adult.

Condensing a [Life Essence] means squeezing out an extra adult's life essence from one's own soul and body, and then refining it into shape.

If the foundation is insufficient or the method is inappropriate, this will be an extremely difficult and long process!
The difficulty of spiritual practice is fully demonstrated from the first step of nourishing the essence.

Just this most basic level is enough to stop 99% of mortals!

Jing Qian has a unique advantage and can absorb other people's [life essence] and use it for his own benefit.

The difference in efficiency was beyond his imagination!
Jing Qian was immersed in the practice in the Fate Monument space. The magical aura left by the two ninth-grade [Fate] realm cultivators was as nourishing as nectar to him.

He carefully absorbed every bit of it and transformed it into nutrients for his own practice.

“【0.92】！”

The count in Jing Qian's mind continued to rise. He could clearly feel that the [White Fang Life Essence] was slowly taking shape in his dantian, like a crystal seed, taking root and sprouting in the fertile soil, and growing vigorously.

“【0.97】！”

After another violent collision, a large cloud of white smoke emerged from the two people opposite and wrapped around Jing Qian.

He let out a long sigh and stopped moving. Instead, he sat cross-legged in the safe zone, patiently waiting for the smoke to arrive.

As long as he digests these two streams of smoke, he will be able to complete his mission and completely condense the [Life Essence].

Along with the two streams of smoke came two clusters of memories.

Jing Qian accepted everything that came his way and digested the memories in a flash.

To his surprise, these two memories were 80% similar and extremely vivid!

……

Inside a huge temple, ten young men with strong constitutions stood side by side, each looking straight ahead with a serious expression.

Opposite them was a big monk with a pale face and wearing a white robe.

The great monk then opened his mouth and said:
"You have voluntarily signed a Dharma contract, offering thirty years of freedom as a pledge, in exchange for my [Shedi Zang Temple] bestowing upon you the [Life Fire] to burn your bodies and determine your fate in order to enter the Dao."

"Fortunately, the abbot is kind and generous, and has compassion for your extraordinary talents. He is willing to give you a chance to change your fate."

"In each of the rooms behind me, there are three incense sticks, connected to the [Life Stove] of my [She Dizang Temple]." "You can each choose a room, light the incense sticks, and try to ascend to the destiny."

"I, [She Dizang Temple], only provide the opportunity of [Life Fire]. As for the outcome, it all depends on your own destiny. Life or death, injury or illness, are not to be considered. Go!"

The big monk raised his hand and waved, and the ten young men who were fully prepared walked into the room behind him.

The memory diverged from here. The tall and short monks were both among the ten young men. They each found a room and began the process of determining their fate.

Inside the room, the two of them prepared three introductory materials and placed them in front of the three incense sticks.

Then, the two of them sat in front of the incense table and began to use the "Three Animals Determination Method", using the [White Fang Life Essence] that they had worked so hard to condense to connect with the destiny incense in front of them.

Then, these three big incense sticks spontaneously combusted without any fire!

The smoke rose up and formed a miraculous connection with a strange flame deep in the temple. In the blink of an eye, the entire room was filled with raging white flames.

The white flames did not cause any damage to the wooden furniture in the room, but poured all its power into the two people in front of it.

"Ahhhh!"

Even though they were separated by virtual memories, the pain of having both the body and soul burned together was so real that Jing Qian felt as if he were there in person, enjoying the suffering of fate in advance!
……

Jing Qian slowly woke up from his meditation and tried hard to adjust his state.

On the life monument, the number of [life essence] is extremely eye-catching:

"【Life Points: 1.01】(White Fang)!"

It’s really not easy to increase this last bit of [Life Essence]!
In that memory, he experienced the entire process of being burned by the [Life Fire] twice, and his destiny to enter the Tao, and was tortured to death.

Even though I have regained consciousness now, I still feel that I am covered in wounds and my soul is drained.

However, while enduring the pain, he gained the valuable experience of two successful destiny-destiny attempts, which was undoubtedly the most valuable to Jing Qian at this time.

He then exited the Life Monument Space and returned to reality.

He is completely ready!

"[Green Pearl], help me to determine my destiny and enter the Tao!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the [Soul-Weaving Spider] under his feet immediately took action!

A blue spider silk fell from the sky, wrapped around Jing Qian's ankle, and hung him upside down.

Then, the spider silk wrapped around him tightly in circles, from head to toe, even his eyebrows, eyes and facial features were not spared!

He looked like a blue silkworm cocoon, with no room to exert any force.

His big head fell down, and the spider silk entangled and squeezed it, causing his brain to become congested and his face to become red and warm.

Immediately afterwards, three more spider silk threads stretched out from just below his head and pierced directly into his brow.

Blood flowed down the spider silk, dyeing the three spider silks red.

Then, with the magic power of [Green Pearl], the three spider silks began to burn fiercely like red candles.

The three red candles were too close to each other, and the outer flames of the candles were almost touching Jing Qian's scalp!
The fierce candlelight gathered heat on his forehead, like a red-hot iron stick, tormenting his sensitive nerve endings.

Jing Qian was suddenly enlightened, and he immediately began to practice the "Three Animals Determination of Fate Method" that he was very familiar with.
