Swinging the black and white chess pieces, the old man’s expression was calm and elegant.
The world is the chessboard, all living beings are the pieces, who hasn’t been weak, who isn’t a piece? To beco a player, one must first be a piece. When cultivators compete, by the ti divine techniques are unleashed, they’re already at a disadvantage; the real battle lies in the dark, calculating with cause and effect, plotting across the world, and that is superior!
When fate arrives, so does fortune, and so do miraculous encounters.
As cultivators wander the world, the mont they obtain a chance encounter, they beco pieces in the calculations of the strong.
Becoming a piece is a good thing, it ans the opportunity to change destiny.
Many people have poor comprehension, poor aptitude, and don’t even qualify to be pieces.
"Master, if you hadn’t interfered, what would have happened to him?" Si Cang curiously asked.
The old man smiled and said, "Originally, his destiny was insufficient, at most he would reach the Golden Core Ninth Transformation, Divinity Transformation would be his peak. But I manipulated his tribulation, plotted the world, and elevated his destiny, enabling him to cast an Eleventh Transformation Infinite Golden Core, and reach the peak of Harmonization."
"However, reaching the peak of Harmonization is his limit. Once he crosses the Ninefold Immortal Tribulation, he is certain to die. Fishing is fine, but when a fish escapes, it’s not good. Raising pigs is fine, but don’t let them grow into tigers. When the fortune arrives, he can soar to the sky; when the fortune leaves, it will be the mont of his demise."
...
On Changyuan Mountain, Lu Xuanji was comprehending the [Great Desire Technique], gaining so understanding of this immortal technique.
Activating the Desire Rune can consu destiny and lifespan, perfecting certain divine techniques, and even enhance cultivation.
It is truly mysterious.
However, the downside is obvious, each activation requires massive destiny consumption.
For an ordinary cultivator, one activation would drain all their luck, leading to death.
If one’s fortune is insufficient and destiny is weak, forcibly cultivating this technique is almost seeking death.
But even with massive fortune, one should not easily activate this immortal technique, for it severely depletes destiny, often outweighing the benefits.
Yet the advantage is clear.
It can be used in desperate situations.
For example, when two cultivators are battling, evenly matched.
Suddenly, by activating the [Great Desire Technique], a divine technique reaches perfection, launching an attack, instantly killing the enemy.
When [Great Desire Technique] reaches perfection, one can directly make a great aspiration to the heavens, invoking the power of the Heavenly Dao.
Once there was Amitabha, who made forty-eight great vows to the Heavenly Dao, imdiately establishing himself as a Buddha.
Great aspirations cannot be made by everyone, only top-level experts can make such grand vows. By making these grand aspirations, one can borrow power from the ancient and future to suppress everything.
Making a grand aspiration is essentially borrowing from the Heavenly Dao.
Just like a small person borrowing money from the heavenly system, the heavenly system disdains to care; but if it’s a top-level expert, borrowing money, the heavenly system will happily comply.
As the saying goes, the more debts you have, the less burdened you feel; the more you borrow, the more justified you beco.
If you owe hundreds of thousands, you worry; if you owe millions, you’re troubled, but at millions, you’re respected; when you owe billions, countless high officials flatter you; at tens of billions, you’re the world’s richest; at tens of trillions, you’re the world ruler.
Often, the challenge isn’t how to repay the debt; it’s how to keep expanding the debt.
Many top-level experts understand one truth: after borrowing a lot, you don’t have to repay, and can borrow even more.
"The essence of the Great Desire Technique is not high-interest loans, not online credit loans, but teaching one how to borrow without repaynt, how to beco a loan defaulter, that is the correct use of the Great Desire Technique!" Lu Xuanji mused, "Therefore, the correct use of the Great Desire Technique is definitely not depleting destiny and lifespan, converting into divine techniques and cultivation... but making great aspirations to the Heavenly Dao, proving yourself to the Heavenly Dao, and borrowing endless destiny from the Heavenly Dao!"
Thinking of these, Lu Xuanji had an epiphany.
This is the correct usage of the [Great Aspiration Technique].
As for any ill fortune in later years, that’ll be dealt with when the ti cos, for now, I’m still young.
...
Ti flows by, in the blink of an eye, another five years have passed.
His cultivation is still at the first layer of the Purple Mansion, and the speed of advancent has slowed down even more, but he is not anxious, slow is normal.
After all, for cultivators in the world, who doesn’t slow down after reaching the Purple Mansion, except for those who overdose on pills.
At this mont, there was a noise at the entrance of the cave mansion.
Lu Xuanji opened the cave mansion, only to see Lu Xuanwen at the door, his expression slightly anxious: "What happened?"
"Clan Leader, sothing bad has happened. Over a decade ago, the Lu Family won the mining vein in Zhao Village through a sword duel. Over the years, we have continuously mined the Profound Iron Ore, with astonishing yields, and according to the clan’s calculations, it can be mined for another two hundred and fifty years. But recently, an accident occurred!"
"Inside the mine, three Qi Cultivation cultivators disappeared."
"Two Foundation Establishnt Elders of the Lu Family went in to investigate, and they too disappeared without a trace. I sensed sothing was seriously wrong and ca to inform the Clan Leader!"
Lu Xuanji listened, frowning slightly.
"Let’s go!"
After a mont of hesitation, Lu Xuanji decided to go.
The Lu Family is recently thriving, but Foundation Establishnt cultivators are still the upper echelon, and with two Foundation Establishnt cultivators now missing, the problem is significant.
Currently, the Grand Elder is in seclusion, Liu Ruming is also in seclusion, so it seems he’s the only one idle, he must go.
After preparing, he went straight to Zhao Village.
At this ti, the villagers of Zhao Village had already relocated, and there were about seventy Lu Family cultivators, all in the Qi Refining Stage, with varying cultivation levels.
The spiritual ore was sturdy and deep, impossible for mortals to excavate, requiring cultivators to act.
This spiritual ore was massive, with long and tall tunnels like an underground labyrinth, and inquiries were made about so of the Profound Iron ore’s yield.
Initially, the yield of Profound Iron Ore was low, but in recent years, it reached three million jin; if refined, three thousand jin of Profound Iron could be obtained. Additionally, within the Profound Iron Ore, rare minerals like Secret Gold, Profound Silver, and Black Iron were also found, in small quantities but quite expensive.
This mine provides an annual pure profit of eighty thousand Spirit Stones for the Lu Family.
As he ventured deeper into the mine, Lu Xuanji suddenly stopped, starting to dig at a certain spot, and found a clump of demon beast dung inside.
Slling the demon beast’s dung, Lu Xuanji slightly frowned, detecting the aura of a high-level demon beast inside, possibly at the peak of Foundation Establishnt, or it could be a Purple Mansion Demon Beast, a bit troubleso.
"You all leave!"
Lu Xuanji commanded.
Lu Xuanwen nodded, leading the Lu Family cultivators out.
Proceeding cautiously, activating the Li Fire Sword in hand, carefully observing the surroundings, ready to strike with a deadly blow at any mont.
Continuing forward, Lu Xuanji felt a twinge of unease.
At that mont, a three-foot-long snake appeared, its body white as jade, transforming into a bolt of lightning, striking towards Lu Xuanji.
