Volume 5: The World of Conferred Gods Chapter 18: Controlling Destiny and Entering the Demonic World
The origin of the Sun Star in the Fengshen World is indeed strong.
Jiale soon fell into enlightenment, and the Yin-Yang Avenue also advanced to 40%, and the Hunyuan Golden Immortal was right in front of him.
And just when Jiale was heading towards the middle stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal, Shen Gongbao was also very helpful.
In fact, whether it is bad luck or good luck, they are actually two poles of the same coin of destiny.
Space is king, time is respected, fate is unchangeable, and cause and effect are king.
These four great ways have always been something that cultivators are keen on. Unfortunately, it is difficult to get started, and even more difficult to comprehend. Nowadays, there are probably not many people in the whole world who have comprehended these four great ways.
Especially the Avenue of Destiny. Even the Six Saints have not comprehended the Avenue of Destiny, which shows how difficult it is.
It seems that not only is it necessary to have the qualifications to practice, but it also depends on opportunity.
Shen Gongbao's opportunity is obviously excellent. He already has the prerequisites for comprehending the Avenue of Destiny. Although he has bad luck, he already has the foundation. Next, as long as he practices step by step and does not die halfway, he will definitely achieve something on the Avenue of Destiny in the future.
The same is true for Jiang Ziya.
Of course, if good luck and bad luck could be combined into one, the chances would be even greater. Jia Le told Shen Gongbao this when he went down the mountain.
With the big picture that Jiale had drawn for Shen Gongbao, no, it was a grand blueprint, how could Shen Gongbao dare not take it seriously.
That is related to his own path. Whether he can achieve Golden Immortal, Taiyi, or even Daluo and Hunyuan in the future depends entirely on his efforts.
So Shen Gongbao went to find Jiang Ziya as soon as he came down the mountain.
boom!
North Sea.
When Jiang Ziya passed by the North Sea, he finally made up his mind to get rid of Shen Gongbao. Now he held the magic whip in his hand and the Wu Ji apricot yellow flag on his head. He had enough confidence to take down Shen Gongbao. Considering their fellow disciples, Jiang Ziya also selected a Feng Shui treasure land for Shen Gongbao, which was the North Sea.
With a whip, the power burst out, and this blow was no less powerful than a Golden Immortal.
Both the Investiture of the Gods and the Divine Whip were produced by Heaven, and were created in response to this great calamity. Anyone who was entangled by the calamity during this time would be defeated by the Investiture of the Gods and the Divine Whip. Shen Gongbao, as a person who was to be borne by the calamity, was naturally among them.
The power of the divine whip used against Shen Gongbao is much stronger than that of ordinary treasures.
Fortunately, Shen Gongbao had already taken precautions against Jiang Ziya, and the moment Jiang Ziya made a move, he directly threw out a treasure to respond.
A black lotus appeared in front of the divine whip, and under a faint light, Jiang Ziya stopped swinging the whip suddenly. The aura of darkness, devouring, destruction and killing enveloped him. Jiang Ziya, who thought that Shen Gongbao would have no chance of survival with one whip, was shocked when he encountered such a sudden situation.
"This! What the hell is this!?"
Jiang Ziya, with a look of horror on his face, only felt a suction force coming, as if it was going to suck Jiang Ziya into the black lotus.
How could Jiang Ziya dare to be sucked in? He knew without thinking that once he was sucked in, nothing good would happen.
The Wu Ji apricot yellow flag in the center automatically protected its master, covering it with dark yellow energy, and fought against the dim light emitted by the black lotus. Only then did Jiang Ziya's pressure ease a little.
However, although the Central Wu Ji Xinghuang Flag was bestowed upon Jiang Ziya by Yuanshi Tianzun, Jiang Ziya had not refined it at all. Of course, with Jiang Ziya's Yuanshen realm cultivation level, he had no ability to refine it at all.
It's just a matter of injecting a soul and using it reluctantly.
Now, the automatic protection of the master can only go so far, and it is not even able to allow Jiang Ziya to move freely again.
Moreover, with the appearance of the Wu Ji Apricot Yellow Flag in the center, the dim light emitted by the black lotus became even brighter, and under Jiang Ziya's horrified gaze, he was directly swallowed by the black lotus.
When the four beasts under Jiang Ziya's seat saw Jiang Ziya being captured, they were startled and tried to escape, but they were also covered by the black lotus and swallowed up.
Shen Gongbao was surprised and happy when he saw the scene in front of him.
This black lotus was given to him by Jia Le before. To activate it, one needs not only magic power but also bad luck to control it. After controlling some of his own bad luck, although Shen Gongbao's realm is that of a Xuanxian, if he really wants to control bad luck, even a Jinxian has to retreat. Combined with the black lotus, he is invincible under Taiyi.
However, this was also the first time Shen Gongbao used it.
Shen Gongbao had a special obsession with Jiang Ziya. This was the first time after he had learned it, he had to give it to Jiang Ziya. The effect was surprisingly good. He slowly put away the black lotus, and Shen Gongbao couldn't help showing a smug look on his face. Wow, this time he had caught him by surprise, and the other party actually dared to take the initiative to attack him and even launched a sneak attack.
However, after thinking about it, Shen Gongbao was also afraid. After all, Jiang Ziya actually possessed two top-grade innate spiritual treasures. These were the first-rate treasures in this world, second only to those supreme treasures, the Divine Whip and the Central Wu Ji Apricot Yellow Flag, one for attack and one for defense. If it were any other Xuanxian, he would probably be killed by Jiang Ziya.
With a chuckle, Shen Gongbao didn't dare to stay for long and left Beihai directly.
Kunlun Mountains.
Yuanshi Tianzun has already returned to Kunlun Mountain and is practicing in meditation, wanting to suppress the Yuanshi Tianmo again. However, when he saw some results, his eyelids jumped again, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. It turned out that the fortune of the Chan sect was declining, and there was even a trace of calamity lingering.
"not good!"
Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly felt something was wrong and started to calculate. In the end, he only vaguely discovered that there must be a problem with Jiang Ziya.
The secret of heaven is hidden. If Jiang Ziya did not have the divine whip and the central Wu Ji apricot yellow flag in his hands, he might not even be able to calculate these.
Now, not only Jiang Ziya's aura disappeared, but also the aura of the Divine Whip and the Wu Ji Xinghuang Flag disappeared.
"Damn it, who dares to attack Ziya openly?"
Jiang Ziya is a man who is destined to face calamity, and he also has great luck. As long as the calamity does not end, Jiang Ziya actually has a built-in amulet. Almost no one dares to attack Jiang Ziya. After all, if Jiang Ziya is killed, his good luck will turn into calamity and fall on the killer.
With such a calamity, even a quasi-saint would eventually perish in it.
In fact, Jiang Ziya, who was armed with the Divine Whip and the Wu Ji Xing Huang Flag, was basically safe as long as there was no attack from cultivators above the Golden Immortal level. And cultivators above the Golden Immortal level would not be so unwise. Therefore, Yuanshi Tianzun was most at ease with Jiang Ziya. But now, an accident really happened.
He tried to calculate Jiang Ziya's current situation, but found nothing. Even the trace of the Divine Whip and the Wu Ji Xinghuang Flag could not be found.
This is definitely not something that an ordinary person can do. It must be at the quasi-saint level, or even higher.
One possible name after another appeared in Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes, but in the end he was not sure .
He was filled with anger, and black energy burst out, making his state of mind even more unstable. It was a sign that Yuanshi Tianmo was about to be born, so he quickly guarded his state of mind and began to suppress it.
"Nanji, Jiang Ziya is in trouble. Go find out something. Make sure nothing happens to Ziya."
Although Yuanshi Tianzun could not get the exact information about Jiang Ziya, he knew that Jiang Ziya was still alive. However, if he was slower, he might have really died. He was supposed to go find him personally, but now he was dragged down by Yuanshi Tianmo and could not go at all.
Upon hearing this, the Immortal of the South Pole hurriedly responded and headed straight out of Kunlun Mountain.
In a fairy mountain, Shen Gongbao slowly landed.
After finding a secret place and setting up a large formation, he took out the black lotus.
Feeling the breath of the black lotus, Shen Gongbao couldn't help but feel more awe towards Jiale. That senior brother seemed to know everything and had everything under control. Shen Gongbao was not a fool. Thinking about the series of events after Jiale brought him to Jin'ao Island, Shen Gongbao knew that he must have fallen into Jiale's trap.
And he is probably just a small role in this game.
However, knowing this, Shen Gongbao could not complain. In this world, everyone is a chess piece. Even the Six Saints may not be able to gain freedom, let alone him. Being a chess piece means that he still has value. For a cultivator, the most feared thing is to have no value and to be killed by others at will. That is the saddest thing.
At least after becoming Jiale's pawn, the benefits he received were real and tangible.
After getting rid of the thoughts in his mind, Shen Gongbao started to get down to business.
Bad luck and good luck are two poles of fate. If he could take Jiang Ziya's good luck into himself and make use of it, then everything would be fine and his path to spiritual cultivation would be even higher.
Now, this opportunity is right in front of me.
After taking a deep breath, Shen Gongbao's eyes were full of determination. He knew that this was no longer a fight between him and Jiang Ziya, but a game between Jiejiao and Chenjiao. Killing Jiang Ziya would mean offending Yuanshi Tianzun, and there would be no turning back from now on.
Saint, if you were an ordinary person, you would definitely be hesitant and afraid.
But what about saints?
Thinking of how he was treated in the Chan Sect, he wanted to let the Chan Sect know today what a wrong decision it was to expel him from the sect and drive him out of Kunlun Mountain.
The black lotus rose up, and rays of dim light descended. Shen Gongbao controlled the bad luck to cover the black lotus, and his magic power surged.
If you look closely, you can find that Jiang Ziya's shadow appears in the black lotus. Under Shen Gongbao's bad luck and the suppression of the black lotus, his good fortune has almost disappeared, and there is a look of pain on his face.
Seeing Jiang Ziya like this, Shen Gongbao couldn't help but reveal a bit of satisfaction.
Without hesitation, he started refining.
According to Jia Le's teachings, there is no need to distinguish between you and me in the Avenue of Destiny. Just refine Jiang Ziya directly. From now on, he will be the incarnation of destiny in this world. It will be smooth sailing for him to practice the Avenue of Destiny in the future, and he may become the only practitioner of the Avenue of Destiny in this world. In the future, he will have the opportunity to completely control the top five Avenues of Destiny among the three thousand avenues.
As the magic power surged, Jiang Ziya's figure became more and more ethereal, and Jiang Ziya's good fortune also gathered into disaster and fell towards Shen Gongbao.
If this happened to an ordinary person, the heavens would sense it and would definitely bring down a great disaster, or even kill him with a bolt of lightning.
However, the person sitting here at this time was none other than Shen Gongbao.
Too many lice won't bite. Shen Gongbao already has bad luck, so why not have more? Others cannot kill Jiang Ziya during the catastrophe, otherwise, they will not be able to escape the fate. But Shen Gongbao is different. These disasters are nutrients and benefits to him.
With the refining of Jiang Ziya, Shen Gongbao's strength began to rise infinitely, and Shen Gongbao also began to comprehend the law of destiny.
Soon, before long, with the blessing of good luck and bad luck, Shen Gongbao fulfilled the law of destiny and formed a world of laws.
Boundless spiritual energy gathered towards Shen Gongbao, and a jade flower was born in his soul. First grade, second grade, third grade...
By the time he achieved the thirteenth-grade Jade Flower, Shen Gongbao had already broken through to the Golden Immortal. In a short period of time, Shen Gongbao had actually completed the leap from the Mysterious Immortal to the Golden Immortal.
And this was just the beginning. Shen Gongbao was immersed in enlightenment and was unaware that his cultivation was improving rapidly.
The trajectories of fate appeared in Shen Gongbao's eyes. At this moment, Shen Gongbao felt that as long as he wanted, he could even manipulate the trajectories of fate at will. The feeling of being able to manipulate fate at will was simply wonderful. However, he did not act rashly, because Jia Le said that fate was the most mysterious of the three thousand great ways.
But fate has already been determined. If you arbitrarily manipulate it, you will inevitably have to pay the corresponding consequences.
Go with the flow, follow the trajectory of destiny, and take advantage of the situation. This is the correct way to open up your destiny. Watch it quietly, understand it, and then control it.
Silver flowers, golden flowers, three flowers gathered at the top of the head, in the blink of an eye, he had reached the peak of Golden Immortal.
At this time, Jiang Ziya had been completely refined, leaving only good luck, lingering in the black lotus. He wanted to escape from the black lotus, but was suppressed by Shen Gongbao's bad luck, and could not do so.
The good fortune was devoured and absorbed by Shen Gongbao, which enhanced his cultivation and improved his destiny step by step.
In the black lotus.
Jiuyou slowly appeared. The black lotus was Jiuyou's true body, which was given by Jiale to Shen Gongbao to help him devour Jiang Ziya.
Of course, Jiuyou would not just do what is best for others.
Good fortune and bad luck come together, and Jiuyou is now immersed in the world of destiny.
Destiny is unpredictable and out of reach. It is impossible to comprehend it even if you want to. However, if you can master this great principle, it will be of great benefit to improving your strength.
Jiuyou seized this opportunity at this time.
The incarnation of Black Lotus was shrouded in good fortune and disaster, and Jiuyou began to take the opportunity to gain understanding.
Jiuyou is different from Shen Gongbao. Jiuyou is a Hunyuan Golden Immortal with a bird's-eye view. Now he has comprehended things even faster than Shen Gongbao.
What's more, Shen Gongbao was completely defenseless against the black lotus at this time, which allowed Jiuyou to invade Shen Gongbao's heart and enjoy the achievements of Shen Gongbao. Therefore, when Shen Gongbao comprehended the law of destiny, broke through the peak of Golden Immortal, began to seek the Tao, and developed towards Taiyi Golden Immortal, Jiuyou also took the opportunity to perfect the law of destiny, formed a world of laws, and then stepped into the realm of seeking the Tao.
Time passed slowly, he sought the truth, understood the truth, and obtained the truth. When his good fortune faded away, Jiuyou had already reached the level of enlightenment on the path of destiny.
One point, one percent, three percent...
At this moment, Jiuyou seemed to have become the incarnation of fate. The scene of fate appeared behind Jiuyou. The fate trajectory of the entire world and the fate trajectory of all living things in the world were all presented in Jiuyou's heart. The threads of fate were manipulated by Jiuyou, and immersed in this long river of fate, Jiuyou seemed to have become the master of fate.
He has attained 40% of the Tao, the middle stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal, and achieved success in one step.
Jiuyou actually broke through to the middle stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal by using the Great Dao of Destiny, and with his comprehension of the Great Dao of Destiny, his magic path also made further progress, 40%, 50%, 60%, and he stopped only when he was about to break through to the late stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
There is a vertical eye between the eyebrows. This is the eye of destiny, which allows the person who controls destiny to see the trajectory of all destinies in the world.
When Jiuyou opened his eyes again, a world filled with evil spirits finally appeared before his eyes.
The demon world was finally found by him.
Unlike the world of Journey to the West, the timeline of the world of Fengshen is earlier. At this time, the Demon Realm has not yet come into the world. Even though Jiuyou is the ancestor of demons and has made great achievements in the way of magic, he cannot find any trace of the Demon Realm. But now, with the opportunity of making great achievements in the Way of Destiny, he finally caught a trace of the Demon Realm.
Without hesitation, Jiuyou disappeared from the spot, and the next moment he had stepped into the demon world.
The demon world at this time was desolate.
However, the demonic energy was also extremely dense, even not less than the spiritual energy in the World of Conferred Gods. Taking a deep breath, Jiuyou seemed to feel like a fish in water again. This was his home turf.
The devil lotus rose, and in the devil world, it seemed that something was attracted by the devil lotus and slowly appeared.
The twelfth-rank black lotus of annihilation was originally the treasure of the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou. When the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou was killed by the Taoist Hongjun, most of the treasure was destroyed, leaving only the fifth rank. However, even if it was the fifth rank, it was also extremely powerful, and it carried the residual soul of the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou to the outer sky.
The Demon Ancestor Luo Hou at that time followed the trend and established the Demon Realm with his remaining souls.
The demon world came into being. This was as it should be under the Great Dao. Therefore, the development of the demon world was also supported by the Great Dao.
In just two great disasters, it became an existence second only to the main world, the Conferred God World. The origin of the magic way was strong, and the fifth-grade black lotus was also nourished by the origin of the devil world and finally recovered to the heyday of the twelfth-grade world-destroying black lotus.
Jiuyou looked at the twelfth-grade black lotus of destruction in front of him and laughed loudly: From now on, I am the ancestor of demons.
This demon world is not without people.
Deep in the demon world, a blood shadow felt the breath of the twelfth-grade black lotus of destruction, and his eyes were full of excitement. He had avoided the demon calamity and entered the demon world. The Demon Ancestor was dead, and he was the strongest demon in the demon world. After so many years of practice, his strength has reached a level second only to the Demon Ancestor. Now the twelfth-grade black lotus of destruction has also appeared. As long as he refines it, he will be able to completely control the demon world.
Without hesitation, Blood Shadow went straight to where Jiuyou was. At the same time, there were several other figures going towards Jiuyou. Judging from their aura, they were all at the level of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
The world of gods.
Shen Gongbao slowly finished his training, and his aura had actually reached the level of Daluo Jinxian. Although it was only the early stage of Daluo Jinxian, it was still exaggerated enough.
After all, he was just a Xuanxian before.
“It really is a one-step success!”
