"What method?" Gu Qingfeng asked.
"Seize the providence of Dao Child Jietian and take his place as the Child of Destiny!" The Scruffy Old Daoist grew more and more excited as he spoke. "My Lord, as long as you can take his place, you will be the Child of Destiny. When the time comes, guided by providence, you will personally usher in the Eternal Era!
No wonder! No wonder the divination showed that even after you obtained the Epoch Flame, the Eternal Era would still begin. So this is the key!"
"Child of Destiny?" Gu Qingfeng was slightly dazed, muttering to himself.
These words touched something in his heart.
Seeing Gu Qingfeng remain silent for a long time, the Scruffy Old Daoist couldn't help but ask nervously, "My Lord?"
"Jie jie jie..."
A terrifying, bone-chilling burst of sinister laughter suddenly rang out, startling the Scruffy Old Daoist so much that he thought he was about to be killed.
"This Emperor can also become a Child of Destiny? How truly wonderful!"
Beside him, the Scruffy Old Daoist said tremblingly, "My Lord, a Child of Destiny shouldn't laugh like that."
Smack!
"Where is the method to seize providence? Bring it out immediately!" Gu Qingfeng's eyes blazed with intense demonic light.
"My Lord, it is recorded in the Epoch Flame..."
Before the Scruffy Old Daoist could finish speaking, Gu Qingfeng had already grabbed the Epoch Flame and stuffed it into his mouth.
With a gulp.
He swallowed the Epoch Flame.
His mind connected with the Epoch Flame.
Boom!
The doors to a new world blasted open.
Countless supreme truths of heaven and earth, laws of the myriad heavens, immortal arts and divine abilities, and the rotation of order were all laid out before his eyes.
In that instant, Gu Qingfeng's mind immersed itself in this world.
However, in the next second, his gaze cleared. He remembered that his goal was to find the method to seize providence, not to lose himself in comprehending the Dao here.
Actually, in just that brief moment, washed over by countless supreme truths of heaven and earth that collided with his own Dao, many new sparks were ignited. It made him feel his cultivation bottleneck loosen, giving him the sensation that he was about to prove his Dao and become an Immortal King.
This brought Gu Qingfeng a hint of joy, making him even more satisfied with the effects of the Epoch Flame. It seemed he would rely on it to achieve the Immortal King realm in the future.
After all, it recorded the Dao of the Eternal Era. Under the collision of these Daos, his own demonic Dao could grow rapidly, discarding the dross and keeping the essence, ultimately allowing him to comprehend profound mysteries and advance to the Immortal King realm!
The Epoch Flame could not only help elevate his realm but also usher in the Eternal Era, providing resources for his advancement. It was simply the number one supreme treasure in the world!
However, Gu Qingfeng knew clearly that now was not the time to prove his Dao as an Immortal King. Thus, he didn't indulge in it, but instead began to carefully search for the method to seize providence.
Like a phantom, he roamed through the ocean of knowledge, silently chanting for the method to seize providence. Before long, a cluster of golden inheritance crashed into him.
Countless inherited Dao patterns surged into Gu Qingfeng's body, dyeing his eyes with a layer of gold.
A moment later, Gu Qingfeng opened his eyes, a flash of joy passing through them.
The Providence Seizing Art!
The Epoch Flame was indeed the crystallization of the Eternal Era. It truly contained a cultivation technique and divine ability to seize the providence of others, which was exactly this Providence Seizing Art.
The Providence Seizing Art was created by a demonic path genius in a certain ancient era. This person was a lone star of calamity. From a young age, he caused the death of his parents, then his entire village. Later, he joined a sect and caused the demise of the sect as well. From then on, his personality drastically changed.
He hated the injustice of the heavens and the unpredictability of the Heavenly Dao. Why was he so unlucky?
And why were those with great providence so lucky?
Driven by this twisted and perverted jealousy, he spent his entire life researching how to seize the providence of others, and he finally succeeded.
It was exactly this Providence Seizing Art!
"Congratulations, My Lord, on mastering the method of seizing providence. Becoming the Child of Destiny is just around the corner!"
The Scruffy Old Daoist flattered from the side.
"Jie jie jie..."
The savage and terrifying wild laughter echoed throughout the entire bronze pagoda.
"You are not bad. This Emperor is in a good mood today, so I will give you a chance to be my dog," Gu Qingfeng laughed sinisterly.
Scruffy Old Daoist: "..."
"This Emperor never offers a chance twice," Gu Qingfeng narrowed his eyes and said lightly.
Thump!
The Scruffy Old Daoist immediately collapsed like a falling golden mountain or a jade pillar, kneeling heavily on the ground.
"I am willing to serve My Lord like a loyal dog!"
"Good, This Emperor is very satisfied."
After speaking, Gu Qingfeng searched the Epoch Flame for the method to control the bronze pagoda. He planned to take the entire bronze pagoda away.
After all, having participated in a trial, he couldn't just return empty-handed, right?
Besides, participating in a trial and taking away the trial's secret realm, wasn't that basic operation?
The people in this pagoda were all talents, and they spoke so nicely.
Moreover, the fact that this pagoda could survive the calamity of an era was enough to prove its quality.
This was something even Immortal King weapons couldn't do. This pagoda was definitely a treasure at the Immortal Lord level.
A day later, Gu Qingfeng successfully pocketed the bronze pagoda, though he couldn't use it against enemies just yet. The refinement time had been too short, and he hadn't fully mastered it.
But Gu Qingfeng had no time to master the pagoda right now; he had more important things to do.
That was to seize the providence of Dao Child Jietian.
Having delayed for several days inside the bronze pagoda, Dao Child Jietian and the others had likely recovered some of their mana and escaped long ago.
However, Gu Qingfeng didn't panic at all, because when he devoured their power, he had already left Calamity Seeds on all of them.
With the Calamity Seeds in place, he could track them through the power of calamity. In other words, it was useless no matter if these people ran to the ends of the earth.
Gu Qingfeng wasn't stupid. The reason he didn't kill these people was for recycling and avoiding waste, wasn't it?
If he didn't leave a mark, what would he do when he couldn't find them later?
How else would they repay him for sparing their lives back then?
.......
Above the River of Laws.
A treasure ship shaped like a golden dragon was rapidly shuttling through.
Inside the treasure ship, two people were meditating.
They were none other than Dao Child Jietian and his Dao Protector, Martial Uncle Qin.
At this moment, the two no longer possessed their former high-spirited arrogance. Instead, their faces were ashen, and their spirits were extremely sluggish, looking as if their bodies had been hollowed out.
"Dammit! I had originally planned to rely on this Immortal King Assembly to advance to the Immortal King realm. I never expected it all to be ruined by the World-Destroying Demon Emperor. Not only did I fail to become an Immortal King, but all my mana was sucked dry. Damn him!! I will definitely get my revenge in the future!!" Dao Child Jietian cursed angrily while cultivating.
Martial Uncle Qin slowly opened his eyes and sighed, "Lord Dao Child, being able to survive under the hands of the World-Destroying Demon Emperor this time is already a blessing as vast as the heavens. As for revenge, it's best not to think about it. That is an existence who can wipe out the six great forbidden zones in one breath. Although our Jietian Sect has profound foundations, we still wouldn't dare to stick our necks out for you."
"Hmph!" Dao Child Jietian snorted coldly. "Why would I need the sect to take action? Given time and successful cultivation, I will definitely take that Demon Emperor's life!"
"Jie jie jie... Whose life are you going to take?"
A familiar sinister laugh suddenly exploded aboard the treasure ship.
Thump thump!
Dao Child Jietian and Martial Uncle Qin's expressions changed instantly. Reacting on instinct, they abruptly stood up. Looking back, they were almost scared into a faint.
They saw a man with world-encompassing demonic might, possessing a disdainful and untamed aura, standing right behind them, looking at them with a sinister smile.
It was none other than Gu Qingfeng.
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
