Luck entry, starting from the Nine Dragons' succession

Chapter 167 The Heavenly Sword Palace Opens, Three Major Hexagrams
"The destiny map condenses the destiny."

Fang Heng's mind moved, and the life diagram trembled slightly.

A powerful flow of air converged from all directions, like rivers flowing into the sea, surging towards the center of the destiny chart.

As the air currents intertwined and chaos was first created, faint sounds of dragons roaring and phoenixes singing could be heard, shaking the very soul.

Countless blessings flowed into the red star, symbolizing foresight and protection from misfortune.

The entire star system seemed to boil over in that instant.

A glittering gold streak leaped out from the very center.

And it spread outwards at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The golden light grew increasingly intense, gradually condensing into a dazzling star wheel, as if cast from pure gold, shining brightly, and hanging high above the destiny chart.

The entire change lasted for several breaths.

By the time Fang Heng came to his senses, the red star that symbolized "foresight and avoiding misfortune" had transformed into a pure gold star wheel.

[Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune (Gold)]: You are the lucky one chosen by Heaven and Earth. In any forbidden place where death is the only possibility, you can find the only way to survive.

A torrent of information flooded into Fang Heng's mind.

Fang Heng quickly absorbed the ability of the "seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune" destiny.

Both "seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune" and "being prescient and avoiding misfortune" are passive destinies.

[Premonition to Avoid Danger] When Fang Heng encounters danger, it will warn him in advance.

As for "seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune," it goes a step further, not only alerting people to danger but also guiding them towards opportunities.

This completes the ability to "predict and avoid danger".

With the ability to "seek good fortune and avoid misfortune," Fang Heng had even greater expectations for his upcoming trip to the Heavenly Sword Palace.

In the following days, the news that the Heavenly Sword Palace was about to open caused a great stir in Jade Capital City.

Soon, the rumor spread like wildfire throughout the entire Great Qian Dynasty.

It seems that the imperial court was secretly stirring things up and intentionally spreading the news.

In less than ten days, all the cultivators in the seventy-two prefectures of the Great Qian Dynasty knew about the opening of the Heavenly Sword Palace.

Anyone with even a modicum of ambition set off for the capital.

Even if you can't eat meat, a sip of soup is good too.

Following closely behind, it was also confirmed that Lin Qihe would preside over the opening of the Heavenly Sword Palace.

Fang Heng's expression became quite interesting the moment he heard the news.

"Lin Qihe is quite lucky!"

"The Right Chancellor actually paved the way for him in this way."

"Most likely, they hope he will preside over the imperial examinations."

Fang Heng murmured to himself, then put Lin Qihe's matter out of his mind and continued to calm his mind to cultivate the "Great Dream Scripture".

The Great Dream Scripture is a cultivation technique that Fang Heng obtained from the Eastern Palace Treasury.

The Dream Path Technique is quite rare, and the lineage of the Great Dream Scripture is rather remarkable.

The ultimate secret technique, Dream Wandering in the Void, turned out to be a Taiyi Divine Power.

Fang Heng chose to cultivate the "Great Dream Scripture" not because he coveted the Taiyi Divine Power of Dream Travel in the Void, but to perfect his cultivation of the Myriad Manifestations Realm.

According to Fang Heng's plan, his cultivation in the Myriad Manifestations Realm aims to establish the three poles of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

It also includes the five elements' cycle, the interaction of yin and yang, and the universe of time and space.

The universe is composed of the strange phenomena of Lingxu Sword Intent and Chaolu Sword Intent.

When Yin and Yang are in harmony, it is the combination of Jia Wood Divine Thunder and Yi Wood Divine Thunder.

The Five Elements cycled, and Fang Heng only mastered the Eternal Green Scripture, which only contained the Wood element; the other four elements were all missing.

As for the three poles of Heaven, Earth, and Man, the Book of Life and Death and the [Emperor of the Underworld] destiny represent "Earth".

Fang Heng also had a clue about "heaven".

As for "human beings," they are the Great Dream Sutra, a swirling mass of worldly affairs, manifesting in all aspects of human life.

"Congeal!"

Fang Heng shouted, and the worldly energy of the Dream Path spread out from his dantian.

For a moment, a dreamlike aura filled his dantian, as elusive as the moon in a mirror or a flower in water.

A miracle has occurred!
Fang Heng slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

Looking inward at his dantian, he saw his progress in the Myriad Manifestations Realm and was still somewhat dissatisfied.

“It’s still too slow!”

Fang Heng sighed with emotion.

If others knew, they would surely call him Versailles.

Fang Heng's ambitions are immense: to establish the three poles of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and to encompass the rotation of the Five Elements, the harmony of Yin and Yang, and the universe of time and space.

Cultivating at the Myriad Manifestations Realm is practically no different from reconstructing a small world.

Cultivation is naturally difficult.

Fortunately, Fang Heng has already solved the two difficult problems of Yin-Yang harmony and the universe of time and space.

As for the Five Elements Reincarnation, it is actually the easiest to cultivate.

Because there are countless Five Elements techniques, they are almost all over the place.

If one were to be particular, practicing any four cultivation techniques would be enough to complete the five elements.

If one seeks perfection, the best option is naturally the inheritance of the Five Emperors' Techniques.

Changqing Temple has the lineage of the Azure Emperor, while the lineages of the other four emperors are respectively held by Burning Heaven Valley, Seven Kill Pavilion, Xuanming Palace and Thick Earth Sect.

The founders of these five sects were close friends.

Therefore, the five companies publicly declared that they were of one mind and one body.

In reality, relationships can be good or bad.

The relationship between Changqing Temple and Qisha Pavilion has always been good.

Fang Heng's master's wife was a direct disciple of the Seven Killings Pavilion.

The relationship with Burning Heaven Valley is extremely hostile, with deep-seated grudges.

As for the relationship with the Xuanming Palace and the Houtu Sect, it can only be described as so-so, neither good nor bad.

It would not be easy for Fang Heng to obtain the inheritances of the other four emperors; it can only be considered as an alternative.

……

Changqing Temple.

A group of cultivators dressed in white Taoist robes, carrying long swords, and exuding a murderous aura, ascended the Changqing Temple.

"Jueying, it's been a long time!"

Xuanqing Daoist greeted the leader with a smile. These cultivators were from the Seven Killings Pavilion.

The old Taoist priest in the lead was the Grand Elder of the Seven Killings Pavilion.

Changqing Temple and Qisha Pavilion have always had a good relationship, so Xuanqing Daoist was naturally familiar with Jueying Daoist.

The Shadowless Daoist's expression turned slightly cold, his aura sharp and menacing, and he chuckled:
"Xuanqing, I heard that you were forced to kneel for another night by Yueqing recently!"

Upon hearing this, Xuanqing Daoist's face immediately darkened.

The Yueqing mentioned by Daoist Jueying was his Daoist partner.

However, he was forced to kneel all night as punishment because of Guan Guan's matter. Who leaked this news to the Seven Kill Pavilion?

There's a traitor inside!

Xuanqing Daoist gave an awkward smile, his expression somewhat displeased.

"Jueying, your mouth is still so sharp after all these years, always bringing up the most sensitive topics."

"What brings you to Yujing City this time?"

"Hmph—" Daoist Jueying snorted coldly, "Xuanqing, stop pretending to be confused."

"At this time, I led my team to Yujing, not for the Heavenly Sword Palace, but for you?"

Xuanqing Daoist was already used to Jueying Daoist's sharp tone and didn't care.

All five sects have a tradition of swordsmanship.

However, only the Seven Kill Pavilion prioritizes the inheritance of swordsmanship and specializes in the path of sword cultivation.

Among the five sects, the Seven Killings Pavilion was the most eager to open the Heavenly Sword Palace this time.

"Hahaha--"

"Jueying, let your disciple come in first."

"We'll talk about the Heavenly Sword Palace matter later."

……

Besides the Seven Killings Pavilion, many other sects from the Great Qian Dynasty arrived in Jade Capital City one after another.

For a time, the capital city of Yujing was bustling with activity.

Besides allowing Lin Qihe to accumulate prestige, the Right Chancellor also intended to cultivate the younger generation and prepare for the upcoming imperial examinations by opening the Heavenly Sword Palace.

The Right Chancellor was well aware of Emperor Yuanchu's thoughts.

If the person chosen by the Ten Great Dao Courts were to win the Martial Arts Champion title, the imperial court would be in a passive position.

Therefore, the Right Chancellor regarded the opening of the Heavenly Sword Palace as an opportunity to test the younger generation.

Those who perform exceptionally well will receive increased resource allocation.

Ten days later.

The day has finally arrived for the opening of the Heavenly Sword Palace.

Outside the Heavenly Sword Palace, sword energy crisscrossed.

The outer sword formation resembled thousands of silver dragons coiling around, exuding a chilling killing intent.

Lin Qihe stood in the void, his white robes fluttering, looking down at everyone with a sense of pride and magnanimity.

He knew very well that with the opening of the Heavenly Sword Palace, his name, Lin Qihe, had become famous among all the cultivators in the Great Qian Dynasty!

Then, his gaze, like lightning, swept across the sword formation surrounding the Heavenly Sword Palace.

Within the sword formation, sword light flowed, creating an extraordinary aura.

Any cultivator who dares to approach the Heavenly Sword Palace will be mercilessly killed by the sword energy.

"Time's up, break the formation!"

"This formation is the Heavenly Palace Nine Heavens Sword Formation, which combines nine into one and contains the power of heaven and earth."

"Everyone, follow me and use the 'Mysterious Origin Void-Breaking Formation' to counter it and break its core!"

Lin Qihe focused his energy in his dantian and let out a sharp shout.

His steady voice, amplified by magical power, spread outwards and reached the ears of the array masters in the Array Academy.

The hundred array masters present had already undergone multiple rounds of rehearsals and were in perfect harmony.

They were all lined up in formation, their breaths connected, their array plates suspended in the air, their spiritual light flashing.

As Lin Qihe raised his hand and waved, the array masters took out their array plates.

They all channeled their magical power into the array plate.

Instantly, the array plate shone with a brilliant spiritual light.

The array plate was activated, and spiritual energy surged out like a tide, transforming into beams of light that shot into the sky and intertwined to form a magnificent array.

At the center of the giant array, profound energy gathered, and the faint sound of a dragon's roar echoed through the sky.

The sword formation surrounding the Heavenly Sword Palace seemed to sense a threat.

The sword light suddenly surged, transforming into countless sword beams that pierced the void and hurtled towards Lin Qihe and the others.

The sword's power was so terrifying that it seemed to devour everyone.

Lin Qihe snorted coldly, stepped into the Seven Star Step, and pointed his fingertip at the array plate.

In mid-air, the power of Xuan Yuan transformed into a curtain of light and burst forth.

The Xuan Yuan light pillar, like a comet streaking across the sky, pierced through the void with a destructive force.

In a single exchange, the sword energy was shattered.

Its power remained undiminished as it slashed towards the core of the sword formation.

boom--

A deafening sound rang out, like the grandest bell in the heavens, or the earth itself collapsing.

The sword formation seemed to have suffered a severe blow, trembling violently and scattering sword light in all directions.

At the heart of the formation, a crisp sound rang out, and a crack appeared.

The cracks at the core of the formation grew larger and larger, spreading out like a spider web.

This scene lasted for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

A mournful cry rang out from within the sword formation.

Sword formation, break!

In an instant, the aura within the Heavenly Sword Palace spread out.

A fiery atmosphere and greedy gazes filled the air among the crowd.

The moment the Heavenly Sword Palace opened.

[Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune] The fate of the person has suddenly taken a turn for the better.

The three hexagrams appeared in Fang Heng's mind.
