Ordinary Youth Lin Daoxuan

Immortal Lord Qijue's expression was somewhat ugly because Gu Qingfeng was telling the truth. The power of karma was merely a restriction; it could not obliterate the tribulation at all.

"Hmph, although we cannot kill you, we can make you wish you were dead!" Immortal Lord Leiyao sneered.

"Jiejiejie... Make this emperor wish he was dead? Can you even harm the tribulation?" Gu Qingfeng said disdainfully.

He did not fear any torture at all, because no one could harm the tribulation. It had always been the calamity that harmed people.

Immortal Lord Leiyao said with a confident face, "Immortal Lord Leng Xue, your lover is left to you."

A shy smile immediately appeared on Immortal Lord Leng Xue's breathtakingly beautiful face. "My dear Lin, rest assured, this concubine will absolutely not let them hurt you."

Gu Qingfeng: "........"

He never expected that Immortal Lord Leiyao, with his thick eyebrows and honest-looking big eyes, would actually have such a vicious mind.

Seeing Immortal Lord Leng Xue getting closer and closer, Gu Qingfeng let out a faint sigh. "Alas, I originally wanted to play with you guys in the identity of a prisoner, but I didn't expect to be met with insults. Forget it, I won't pretend anymore. I'll lay my cards on the table: the power of karma is ineffective against this emperor."

"Hehe." Immortal Lord Qijue sneered. "Stop bluffing..."

Before he could finish his words, Gu Qingfeng exerted his strength, and the red threads of karma entwined around his body actually began to snap one by one.

Immortal Lord Qijue's expression instantly changed drastically. "This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!! Why can you break free from karma!"

While snapping the red threads of karma, Gu Qingfeng smiled fiercely, "Karma can indeed deal with calamities, but the problem is, all you can do is leverage the power of karma, whereas this emperor... is an existence that can control the very origin of calamities! What do you have to fight me with!!"

Although Immortal Lord Qijue did not understand what the origin of calamities was, he understood the underlying logic.

Possessing the power of karma merely meant having the qualification to resist the power of calamities. It was like a competition; you had just obtained the qualification to participate, but having the qualification did not mean you could win the game.

Seeing that more than half of the red threads of karma had already snapped, Immortal Lord Qijue's eyes widened to the point of tearing. He roared anxiously, "Quickly lend me your power! We absolutely cannot let him break free! Otherwise, we will all die!"

There was no need for Immortal Lord Qijue to give the order; the others had already begun frantically pouring their own power over to him.

They were not stupid. Currently, the only thing that could oppose Gu Qingfeng was Immortal Lord Qijue's power of karma. If they did not exert themselves now, once Gu Qingfeng broke free, no one believed they could survive alone.

Because Gu Qingfeng was immortal and indestructible, and having devoured Immortal Lord Bi She, his strength had skyrocketed even further. Facing such an enemy, how could they fight?

In a one-on-one fight, apart from Immortal Lord Qijue, probably no one present had the confidence to exchange even a few moves.

But even if Immortal Lord Qijue could exchange a few moves, as time went on, facing an immortal and indestructible enemy, he would eventually be defeated sooner or later.

The few of them naturally saw the crux of the problem clearly, so one by one, they spared no effort in lending their power to Immortal Lord Qijue.

Especially Immortal Lord Leiyao, who had just suggested letting Immortal Lord Leng Xue take care of Gu Qingfeng. His face was deathly pale, and he even risked injuring himself, frantically squeezing out his own potential to infuse power.

He knew very well that once Gu Qingfeng completely broke free from the power of karma, he would definitely be the first to die, and he would die a very miserable death.

With everyone joining forces, Immortal Lord Qijue activated the restriction of karma once again, and countless red threads of karma spread and coiled towards Gu Qingfeng.

For a time, the two sides fell into a stalemate. Gu Qingfeng continuously broke free and snapped the red threads of karma, while Immortal Lord Qijue's side summoned even more red threads.

However, Gu Qingfeng did not panic in the slightest because he controlled the origin of calamities, and manipulating the power of calamities was as natural to him as waving his own hands.

But Immortal Lord Qijue and the others were different. They were relying on their own strength to forcefully leverage the power of karma, which consumed a massive amount of their own magical power.

Right now, they appeared evenly matched, but as time passed, the scales of victory were gradually tilting towards Gu Qingfeng.

Just when Gu Qingfeng felt that victory was firmly in his grasp, unsurprisingly, a surprise occurred.

The Heavenly Heart Dao Sword, which had always acted very submissively, unexpectedly moved on its own at this moment.

It let out a terrifying sword cry, then transformed into a streak of light and viciously pierced into Gu Qingfeng's heart.

Such a shocking turn of events was something no one had anticipated.

Not only was Gu Qingfeng stunned, but even Immortal Lord Qijue and the others were dumbfounded.

Immortal Lord Qijue and his group thought: What is going on? Isn't he Lin Daoxuan? Why would the Heavenly Heart Dao Sword suddenly turn on its master?

Gu Qingfeng thought: What is going on? What happened to being the reincarnation of Lin Daoxuan? Has this damn Heavenly Heart Dao Sword gone crazy?

The Heavenly Heart Dao Sword naturally could not harm him, but it acted like a key, as if it had opened a door or activated something mysterious.

In the next moment, Gu Qingfeng only felt a consciousness as vast as the ocean emerge from deep within his body.

Instantly, the scenery before his eyes changed, and he appeared in a world that resembled a vast starry sky.

"This is... this emperor's sea of consciousness!" Gu Qingfeng recognized where this was at a glance.

Why would this emperor suddenly appear in his sea of consciousness?

Just as he was puzzled, suddenly, a resplendent sword light burst forth from the depths of his sea of consciousness, transforming into a young man who appeared before his eyes.

This young man looked very ordinary. Dressed in a green shirt, his posture was as straight as a sword. He had no imposing aura as deep as the abyss, nor any terrifying power fluctuations, looking just like a mortal.

The only unordinary thing about him was probably his eyes. Those eyes were as calm as an abyss and as deep as the sea, seeming to have witnessed the vast changes of the world and the succession of eras.

With the appearance of the young man, streams of unfamiliar memory fragments surged towards Gu Qingfeng, as if some kind of consciousness was invading him.

Feeling the memory fragments, Gu Qingfeng looked at the ordinary young man in front of him and suddenly spoke up, "Lin Daoxuan?"

Although it was a question, his tone was full of certainty.

The ordinary young man, Lin Daoxuan, calmly nodded. "Exactly."

Then he added, "I didn't expect that the plan I prepared for countless ages would actually be disrupted by you."

His tone was still very calm, without the slightest bit of anger at having his plan disrupted.

"However, the current situation seems to be even better than planned."

"How did you appear in this emperor's sea of consciousness?" Gu Qingfeng asked.

Lin Daoxuan did not hide anything. For an existence like him, it seemed there was no longer any need to lie.

Lying was merely a way to achieve a certain goal through falsehoods, but for an existence like this, if he wanted to achieve any goal, he could just do it directly instead of lying.

"My will has always been hidden within destiny," Lin Daoxuan said calmly.

Gu Qingfeng frowned. "You have been monitoring this emperor all along?"

Lin Daoxuan shook his head. "In order to avoid the gaze of the Immortal Venerable, I closed off all my senses and split my will into two. Like a dead person, I used a secret technique to attach myself to destiny, only recovering when the destinies merged into one."

Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng completely understood. As expected, he was not the reincarnation of Lin Daoxuan at all; Lin Daoxuan was not worthy.

The reason Immortal Lord Qijue said their fates were linked was because he possessed that powerful luck, and Lin Daoxuan's will had hidden itself within that luck, misleading him.

With this, Gu Qingfeng finally had all his doubts resolved.

Why hadn't Lin Daoxuan appeared when the Eternal Era began?

It turned out he had been there all along; Gu Qingfeng just hadn't noticed him.

Why did Lin Daoxuan want to resurrect through the child of the Child of Destiny and the True Woman of Destiny?

Because after the child inherited the luck, the combination of the two great lucks would be the moment Lin Daoxuan's will awakened, allowing him to perfectly resurrect through the child.

Why did Dao Child Jietian, Ye Chu, possess such heaven-defying luck?

Because that was the accumulation of Lin Daoxuan's ten lifetimes. It was his luck; Ye Chu was merely a vessel.

"You just said that the current situation seems even better than planned. From what you're saying, you intend to possess this Emperor?" Gu Qingfeng said indifferently.

Lin Daoxuan nodded calmly. "Correct. My original plan was to resurrect through the offspring of the Child of Destiny and the True Woman of Destiny, but now it seems there is a better choice."

Hearing this, a sinister smile appeared on Gu Qingfeng's lips. "You think you can possess this Emperor?"

"Although my strength far exceeds yours, possession goes against the natural order. This is your sea of consciousness, your home ground. If we really get down to it, I only have a fifty percent chance of success," Lin Daoxuan said calmly.

"However, with Immortal Lord Qijue and the others distracting you outside, my chances of winning increase by another twenty percent."

Gu Qingfeng frowned slightly. "This Emperor has possessed the power of the two great lucks for some time now. It seems you woke up long ago. Immortal Lord Qijue and the others are probably part of your scheme too?"

"Is there any point in talking about this now?"

"Jie jie jie... Interesting. You say your chances of winning are seventy percent, but what about the remaining thirty percent?"

"I have rebuilt my cultivation over ten lifetimes, reaching the peak in all ten. I have encountered countless life-and-death crises. Back then, even a five percent chance of winning would have been considered a lot, but I was always the ultimate victor.

A seventy percent chance of winning now... is already a bit too much for me," Lin Daoxuan said indifferently.
