Since there is cause and effect, there must be connections. Previously, there was speculation that the Zhang Xuanqing next door could be the inheritor of the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony, and now, it’s one hundred percent certain.
As for whether it could be that Kong Shiming… When the two are together, it’s clear that Zhang Xuanqing takes the lead. How could a mighty Second-level Heavenly Destiny inheritor behave like this toward a minor figure?
“Losing the Frost Demon Lord but confirming the news of the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony, every sip and peck is predetermined by destiny. Since that’s the case, let’s hand him over to the Buddha first!”
The Blue Cloud Venerable smiled faintly.
Having lost the Ten Directions Bodhi Demon Suppression Rope, the Buddha will surely bla him. If he brings this fellow over now, perhaps he can compensate for the lost rit.
With this thought, a flash of intent in his eyes, his mighty soul imdiately spread out like quicksilver towards the neighboring courtyard.
…
In the room, Zhang Xuan was sitting cross-legged. He had just advanced in strength, which was now slowly flowing through his ridians, tumbling like a stream of water.
Galaxy 7-dan, belonging to a Four-Star Fate Master in the Establish-Fate Realm.
This is one of the most critical stages in a Fate Master’s practice, signifying complete control and reshaping of one’s own destiny. In this realm, a Fate Master needs to break away from the wandering branches of fate, pinpoint their own conviction, and put forth a hundred percent effort towards it.
Destiny Establishnt, as the na implies, is about confirming one’s destiny. Once established, it cannot be changed. Forcibly altering one’s destiny could at best result in serious injury, or at worst, turn soone into a disabled person, unable to recover, or even cause imdiate death.
Because of its critical importance, as soon as he broke through this realm, Zhang Xuan imdiately felt a perfect fusion with the “Love Destiny.” The Space Destiny and Mo Dao Destiny he had practiced before were imdiately rejected and no longer harmonized as before.
Although he could still use these destiny abilities and techniques with the help of Love Destiny, it felt like passing commands through subordinates, creating a barrier.
To put it plainly, Love Destiny is like the minor Formless Finger;
as long as he practices, he can still display skills such as the Kasaya Demon Suppression Skill and Formless Finger, but he no longer practices these types of destiny in their purest form.
However, for Zhang Xuan, it didn’t matter. Biting off more than one can chew is never good. He was not greedy by nature. Since Love Destiny was a better fit for him and of a higher level, he naturally would not give it up.
Taking a deep breath and about to temper his whole-body strength once more, he suddenly felt a hint of dizziness in his soul, and in the next mont, his consciousness disappeared from the room. Then, a vast river appeared before him, with unique rhythms echoing in his ears.
Zhang Xuan was stunned.
He was clearly cultivating in his room;
how did he end up here?
There was doubt in his eyes as he carefully looked towards the river.
The river’s surface was vast and the water was surging. A light tap of his foot on the water surface imdiately caused a light hum of chant to ring in his ears, continuously impacting his soul.
“Is this… the River of Destiny of a high monk from the Buddhist Sect?”
Realizing what was happening, Zhang Xuan’s body wobbled, just about to turn and leave, when suddenly a gigantic Buddha appeared before him.
Ten zhang tall, forming the Orchid Technique with his fingers, his entire being emitted golden light, conveying a sense of majesty and solemnity. His eyebrows drooped, and his eyes showed compassion, making one feel peaceful at a glance.
“You’ve traveled all the way to the Source World, for what? Isn’t it all for stronger power? As long as you convert, you can access the supre resources of the Buddhist Sect, and in short ti, you can even charge towards the Life Sea Realm, or even higher!”
“The Buddhist Sect will not only not interfere with your cultivation but can also provide assistance…”
“All things in the world are but fleeting clouds;
the true self is the most eternal… Why bother with matters that don’t matter…”
…
In an instant, various thoughts flickered in Zhang Xuan’s mind, and his confused and panicked state of wandering gradually cald down.
Without realizing it, his hand ford the Orchid Technique, and he was about to bow his head in agreent.
Above the river, the Blue Cloud Venerable floated in the air, nodding in satisfaction.
As long as this guy lowers his head, he will beco my disciple, willingly converting to Buddhism.
The Buddhist Sect’s power to transform others is unrivaled in the world;
even demon lords can easily be converted into high monks, let alone ordinary people.
This young man, despite having decent talent, is after all only in his twenties, with insufficient experience in society. As long as my resolve is strong enough, he will definitely be unable to resist this temptation.
Now it seems that it’s about to end.
As he was contemplating this, Zhang Xuan, poised to bow down while performing the Orchid Technique, suddenly beca aware of a thought from the Buddha’s chant infiltrating his mind.
“No-self, forget the self, discard all affections, only then can one witness the great Dao and enjoy the ultimate freedom…”
His slightly bewildered state of mind was jolted, and Zhang Xuan imdiately ca to his senses.
At this mont, he had reached the Destiny Establishnt Realm, with the Love Destiny perfectly integrated into his body. The Buddha’s phantom in front of him, who actually wanted him to abandon it, was akin to discarding his life, naturally impossible to achieve.
“You want to convert ?”
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes.
Lucky for him, he had just reached the Destiny Establishnt Realm and his whole body was perfectly bound with the Love Destiny. Otherwise, just this attempt at conversion might have been too much to withstand, and he could have beco a follower of the adversary.
Who is it?
During this ti, he had been keeping to himself, offending no one, so why co over and do this?
And what is the purpose?
Blue Cloud Venerable!
His gaze flashed as he thought of soone.
Although his current strength wasn’t exceptionally strong, it had still reached Galaxy 7-dan. To be able to subtly pull him into a space of intent, and so easily disrupt his spirit almost to the point of conversion, apart from this high-ranking Buddhist monk, he feared no one else could do so.
Could it be… the other party knows that I have captured the Frost Demon Lord and thus made a move against ?
No, that’s not right!
The essence pill of the Frost Demon Lord, from the mont it arrived, had been stored in the Library of Heaven’s Path. It doesn’t matter if it’s a Blue Cloud Venerable or even the Buddha himself, it’s doubtful they could detect it. Moreover, if it were really about that matter, a direct demand would suffice;
there was no need for a covert psychic attack.
However, regardless of the reason, making a secret move that nearly caused him to fall into the trap, had already touched his bottom line.
“His strength is formidable, and now I am in his space of intent, with the River of Destiny sealing it, even thoughts of escape would likely be futile…”
Understanding his predicant, Zhang Xuan was not in a hurry to make a decision, but instead pondered secretly.
It was possible to seal away the essence pill of the Frost Demon Lord because its corpse had been destroyed. Inside the Library of Heaven’s Path, he was an invincible being. But now, in the adversary’s territory, not to ntion his cultivation was insufficient, even if his cultivation were stronger, it would be difficult to escape. A safe thod must be devised.
“Convert to Buddhism, witness the great Dao, achieve ultimate freedom, unimaginable bliss…”
As he hesitated, words laced with Zen wisdom from Blue Cloud Venerable echoed in the air.
The sound slowly ringing in his ears penetrated his soul, causing Zhang Xuan’s recently sober spirit to once again beco hesitant and confused.
Just when he was on the verge of succumbing again, a thought flashed through his mind.
“Blue Cloud Venerable’s River of Destiny has reached at least the seventh level, maybe even the eighth. Previously, even trying to observe it was impossible… But if I could link with the Love Destiny, could I continuously obtain Heavenly Mandate Vitality?”
