Chapter 811: The few steps of cultivation, the great terror in the dark
In fact, when Gu Changge revealed the Fateful Immortal Boat, Xiao Ruoyin had already guessed his intention.
The Fateful Immortal Boat was a pre-existing object, not forgedter. Initially, she had resonated with the elusive River of Destiny, using her Fateless Physique to make it recognize her as its master.
After the copse of the Immortal Pce, her reincarnation caused the Fateful Immortal Boat to follow her into the new life. Its spirit also acquired a physical form, leading to the birth of Jiang Chenter on.
However, over the years, the Fateful Immortal Boat remained in Gu Changges hands, and Xiao Ruoyin never considered asking him to return it.
<em>Is Your Majesty here to inquire about the Fateful Immortal Boat this time?</em>
Xiao Ruoyin spected, her gaze focused on the ship. Though it appeared to be made of bronze, it was a rare immortal gold called Good Fortune Gold. This material had the extraordinary ability to carry ones fate, enabling it to traverse the river of time without umting karma or facing heavenly punishment.
However, this substance was exceedingly rare, and many cultivators might spend their entire lives without ever hearing about Fortune Gold, let alone finding it.
Xiao Ruoyin had found information on this material during her time as the High Priestess of the Immortal Pce. Even for her, locating a piece of Fortune Gold again would be as challenging as reaching the heavens.
Gu Changge nced at Xiao Ruoyin and said, Indeed, its rted to the Fateful Immortal Boat, but now Im more interested in understanding the extent of your control over the path of destiny.
His gaze fell on the ancient-lookingpass behind Xiao Ruoyin as he spoke. Though simple in appearance, upon closer inspection, one could discern thousands of strands of material converging like starlight, creating an unusual sight.
Ordinary people wouldnt notice, but havingprehended the path of Destiny, Gu Changge understood that these were the so-called threads of fate.
Everything was bound by the lines of cause and effect in this world. Even he, because of cause and effect, had been exposed by Xiao Ruoyin regarding his past life.
It was not easy to transcend cause and effect and break free from the constraints of the five elements.
<em>Regarding control over the path of Destiny? Xiao Ruoyin felt surprised. Why would Gu Changge suddenly show interest in this?</em>
With her Fateless Physique, she naturally possessed a strong sensing ability for destiny and causality. Therefore, when she delved into studying these aspects, it was like a fish in waterstraightforward.
Over the years, after recovering the memories of her past life as the High Priestess of Destiny, Xiao Ruoyin had been attempting to restore her past-life achievements. One of the most notable aspects was herprehension and control over the path of Destiny.
Earlier, she had been making calctions, specifically regarding the future changes in the Divine Kingdom. In the vast expanse of the universe, the mighty adept in divine arts could discern a persons past and present with just a nce.
They could even perceive the countless changes and evolutions over endless ages. In this world, there were no secrets beyond their reach. However, peering into the mysterious and unfathomable realm beyond times end, glimpsing the other shore instantly, was unimaginable.
Nevertheless, given Xiao Ruoyins current strength, she was far from reaching this level; it was an unrealistic fantasy.
Gu Changge nodded, Recently, Ive developed a keen interest in the path of Destiny. I thought you should have profound knowledge in this area.
He wasnt lying. Coming here to seek Xiao Ruoyin was indeed prompted by the expectation that she possessed significant insights into the path of Destiny.
I see. Xiao Ruoyin realized, then continued, Although I have delved deep into this path, my cultivation is still far from Yours, Your Majesty. Even if I can glimpse a bit of Destiny, its impact on Your Majesty might be limited.
Now that Gu Changges cultivation was inscrutable and had transcended the realm of immortality, Xiao Ruoyin considered it a rare phenomenon throughout the ages. Even those supremely skilled in the path of Destiny couldnt foresee his future and the course of his destiny.
Xiao Ruoyin naturally wouldnt casually probe Gu Changges fate; it wasnt just a matter of failing to seethere was a significant risk of bacsh.
Gu Changge knew Xiao Ruoyin would respond this way, so he brought out the Fateful Immortal Boat. He intended for her to use the ship to explore the path of Destiny.
With the Fateful Immortal Boat in hand, given your current cultivation, you should be able to glimpse the fate of the Divine Kingdom. Will you give it a try? he asked slowly.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Ruoyin spoke frankly. She dared not conceal anything in front of Gu Changge, <em>The chances are not great.</em>
It doesnt matter. If theres any danger, you can retreat at any time. Ill bear any bacsh for you, Gu Changge reassured.
His cultivation had reached a level where even whimsical ideas had reasons behind them. Just like what he was about to do now.
In Gu Changges view, this step was crucial for deducing andparing the paths he had taken so far. At this stage, summarizing the paths he had traversed, roughly speaking, they could be divided into four steps.
When the first three steps reached their end, it would signify reaching the other shore of immortality, the realm of immortals.
And this fourth step, as he delved into the study andprehension of the path of Destiny, resonated with him. Beyond the Immortal realm, one must dispel the clouds of uncertainty, reflect upon oneself, and achieve the Dao fruit. This was the state where causality doesnt touch, transcending time and space.
Then, mastering the three thousand great Dao-building experts, immortal with a single thought, annihting countless universes with a single intention.
Beyond self-Dao, past, present, futureall are one, free and immortal. With a single hand, obliterate the heavens, a timeless cosmos, effortlessly severing all,prehending all, immortal in emptiness, enduring in concept.
All these are subsequent paths; as the mist disperses, everything bes clear. However, Gu Changge still needs to deduce and verify based on Destiny.
<em>I understand. </em>
Xiao Ruoyin knew she had no choice. She immediately took over the Fateful Immortal Boat, and after countless ages, this item returned to her hands, emitting a faint, trembling sound.
Following that,yers of mysterious ripples spread in this ce, and it seemed as if divine and enchanting melodies resonated throughout the heavens and earth. Even the threads of causality were converging towards this ce.
Draped in a sacrificial robe, Xiao Ruoyin looked saintly and immortal, enveloped in a boundless radiance of immortality.
A vague and blurry mist appeared before her, with glimpses of divine radiance from the Divine Kingdom and the evolving realms of various heavens. There was worship, and grand world sounds everywhere. However, behind all this, an icy silence loomed, with a fog sweeping in, obscuring everything.
In Gu Changges gaze, numerous terrifying scenes unfolded. At this moment, he seemed to be at the end of an endless void, observing the evolution of the heavens and the earth.
Chaos separated, and even shadows of light appeared, overseeing everything at the end of the river of time, watching the changes in mountains and rivers, alternating epochs.
<em>The path of Destiny is truly mysterious</em>
Seeing that Xiao Ruoyin was about to copse, her face turning bloodless and showing signs of fatigue, Gu Changges expression had returned to calmness.
He waved his robe, and thunderous roars echoed at the end of the sky. However, it quickly dissipated without a ripple. The overwhelming and suffocating terror vanished into thin air.
<em>Youve worked hard.</em>
He caught the faltering Xiao Ruoyin, looking at her pale face, and said, You nearly suffered bacsh. When you were deducing the destiny of the Divine Kingdom, you seemed to be suddenly enveloped in a terrifying aura. Your whole body was cold. Perhaps I expelled that terrifying aura in the end.
She suspected that in the end, Gu Changge made a move to drive away that great terror.
But what exactly was it?
