I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 574 The Abandoned Divine Power of Destiny

The underworld, Fengdu Ghost City, by the Bridge of Helplessness.

"Ah!"

Wu Yao, who was brewing the Meng Po soup, suddenly sneezed.

This scene startled the Eclipse Lord, who immediately came forward and offered him a handkerchief with concern.

"What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

"I knew you wouldn't be able to keep going like this!"

"Why don't we resign from our positions with the Emperor of Fengdu? How can you use someone like this!"

"If all else fails, we should ask the Emperor of Fengdu to bring two more Meng Pos so they can take turns. That would be better than the current situation."

Listening to Shi Tianjun's rambling, Wu Yao simply smiled and shook her head.

"I'm fine, you don't need to make such a fuss."

"For me now, being able to watch these ghosts wash away their resentment and be reincarnated in peace is the best medicine."

"On the contrary, it's really unfair to you to stay with me in a place like this all this time."

The Eclipse Lord is a celestial being capable of devouring the sun.

Now, he has turned to cultivating the Way of Heaven and Man, which can be described as taking another step forward from a high level.

It's no exaggeration to say that if Shi Tianjun hadn't taken the wrong path from the start, he probably would have achieved the Refining Spirit Returning to Emptiness before Xi Luo did.

"To me, you are also my cure."

He mumbled something indistinctly, and before Wu Yao could hear him clearly, Shi Tianjun immediately changed the subject.

"What happened to you just now? Are you really sick?"

If someone's strength reaches the level of Wu Yao or Shi Tianjun, then getting sick can be a very serious situation.

Whether it is the five signs of decay of a celestial being or an unstable Daoist mind, death is simply the best outcome.

Moreover, Wu Yao had a cautionary tale to learn from, so how could Shi Tianjun dare to be careless in the slightest?

"It's not as serious as you think, it's just that someone is talking about me."

Before Wu Yao could finish speaking, Shi Tianjun immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"It turns out that someone was just talking about it..."

"Wait, who's talking about you? And why did it trigger your senses?"

Seeing Shi Tianjun's sudden change of expression and tone, Wu Yao smiled helplessly once again.

“I’ve noticed that you’ve been making such a fuss ever since I was resurrected.”

“I am the Witch of Destiny, and now I also serve as Meng Po. I am not some fragile porcelain doll.”

He blinked awkwardly. How could Shi Tianjun say something like "You're just a porcelain doll in my eyes"? So he immediately changed the subject back.

"Who's talking about you? Could it be Xi Luo?"

It's no wonder that Shi Tianjun is so suspicious; basically everyone who knew Wu Yao is now dead.

Among them, there is hardly anyone other than Xi Luo who would still mention Wu Yao.

"It must be her!"

"Unfortunately, she has been avoiding me and is not even willing to come to Fengdu City."

After a slight hesitation, Wu Yao shook her head, and her words once again made Shi Tianjun's eyes widen.

What do you mean by 'probably'?

"Yes or no..."

"Since when did you start using such ambiguous language?"

With a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, Wu Yao spoke softly and calmly.

"Because I have already given up on the 'divine power of destiny,' I can no longer be a prophet."

"If we're really talking about precognitive abilities, I might not be as good as you are now, who possesses the 'divine power of omens'."

Upon hearing this, the expression on Shi Tianjun's face could no longer be described as shock.

"Give up the 'Heavenly Mandate Divine Power'?" "When did that happen? Why?"

It was normal for Shi Tianjun to be dumbfounded, because it was the first time he had ever heard that Wu Yao had actually given up the [Heavenly Mandate Divine Power].

That was Wu Yao's innate divine power, the power that countless people would go to great lengths to obtain.

“From the moment I took on the role of Meng Po.”

Wu Yao glanced at Shi Tianjun with a look of utter disbelief and calmly continued.

"I have always believed in destiny, but in the end, I was taught a lesson by my own descendants."

“The will of Heaven is known, but it is not unchangeable.”

"I used to think I had seen through 'fate' and that I had a smooth life, able to remain calm in any desperate situation."

"But actually?"

"In the process of seeing through 'destiny,' I was also gradually tamed by 'destiny.'"

"So back then, I thought I was facing death with equanimity, and then placed my hopes on the celestial beings who would descend to earth a thousand years later..."

Wu Yao paused slightly at this point.

"However, that celestial being shattered my understanding of 'destiny'."

"He not only successfully resurrected me from my dead body and soul, but also ushered in an era that I could not comprehend at all."

"From that moment on, I suddenly realized how ridiculous 'fate' is."

"It thought my death would make its people live better, so I actually obediently went and died."

"Looking back now, if I hadn't died, I might have been able to rewrite this 'fate'!"

For some reason, Shi Tianjun could sense Wu Yao's self-denial in her conversation.

That disdainful and firm tone made it seem as if he were commenting on others from the perspective of an outsider, completely separating his past self from his present self.

It's as if... the current Wu Yao isn't the same person she used to be.

A thought suddenly flashed through my mind.

The next moment, Shi Tianjun hurriedly shook his head to get rid of this terrifying thought.

Wu Yao is Wu Yao, whether in the past or present, Shi Tianjun must firmly believe this.

"What about the divine power of destiny that you abandoned?"

Somewhat flustered, Shi Tianjun instinctively asked a question.

First of all, it must be acknowledged that the Heavenly Lord did not care about the Heavenly Mandate Divine Power; he simply wanted to use this topic to divert his thoughts.

But when Wu Yao turned to look at the Bridge of Helplessness, Shi Tianjun also looked over there.

Then, he saw the huge Three Lives Stone at the head of the Bridge of Helplessness.

From Fengdu Ghost City to the banks of the River of Oblivion.

The Three Lives Stone blocked the path that all ghosts had to take.

Only after looking into the Three Lives Stone can one be certain that there is no more attachment in this life.

Only then will the ghosts officially step onto the Bridge of Helplessness, drink the Meng Po soup, and thus re-enter the cycle of reincarnation.

According to legend, the Three Lives Stone has the power to illuminate the past and present, allowing all ghosts to see their past and present lives and fulfill their unfulfilled wishes.

The Heavenly Lord originally thought that the Three Lives Divine Stone was the masterpiece of the Fengdu Emperor, and the physical manifestation of the "Three Souls System" in the Netherworld.

But in that instant, Shi Tianjun suddenly realized that the Three Lives Divine Stone was clearly the supreme artifact transformed from the [Heavenly Mandate Divine Power].

Just like the [Heavenly Fate Bone Armor] back then.

This Three Lives Divine Stone not only has no requirements for the user, but is also quite convenient to use.

The only drawback is that the [Heavenly Fate Bone Armor] can be carried around with you.

This Three Lives Divine Stone is several feet tall and connected to the earth of Fengdu, making it impossible for ordinary people to move it.
