Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 92. The third deduction (seeking further reading)
Chapter 92: 92. The third deduction (seeking further reading)
The Innate Realm... It’s still not enough to be a match for that white-haired man. ƒгeewebnovёl_com
Tapping his desk, Xu Xing felt hesitant. According to his previous speculation, once the Bright Yellow Destiny [Official Thief] disintegrated, he would see a glimpse of his fate. This fate was deduced based on his current strength and Destiny.
However, the pinnacle of the mortal world seemed to be merely the Innate Realm. Even if he endured for several more decades, his cultivation in the mortal world might not advance enough to defeat the white-haired man.
No... After pondering for a moment, Xu Xing shook his head.
In his last fate deduction, he had been unaware of the white-haired man within the Royal Family and was thus unprepared. After occupying Guanxi Road for five years, he had founded the Great Zhou dynasty. Then, rushing to attack Shenjing, he provoked the white-haired man, leading to his beheading by a single sword strike. Left with no choice, he had transformed into an Underground Lord to barely survive.
Now, he knew the Royal Family’s true strength. Logically, the future "him" wouldn’t be so reckless.
Solidify the [Thief Who Stole the Dragon] Destiny Grid... Once Xu Xing understood, he no longer hesitated. With a thought, he began to solidify the Emperor Purple Destiny [Thief Who Stole the Dragon].
Shaoqing, the panel changed.
[Mirror Master: Xu Hang.]
[Dao Fruit: Bright King Body (Immortal Green), Underground Lord (Half-Immortal), Thief Who Stole the Dragon (Purple), Wenchang (Red), Reform (Red), Broad Knowledge and Strong Memory (White).]
[...]
[Fate Grid: Righteous Hero (Yellow).]
Immediately, as expected, just as the Bright Yellow Destiny [Official Thief] collapsed, frames depicting future deductions appeared before Xu Xing’s eyes, like scenes in a revolving lantern.
From entering Guanxi Road and seizing the power of King of Sorrow Yao Dang, to being pacified by the Emperor’s decree... These were his memories after solidifying the [Official Thief] Fate Grid.
「Then, the scene changed.」
After breaking through to the Innate Realm, Xu Xing found himself unable to advance further. He spent two years cultivating the "Imperial Court Sword Canon" and the "Vajra Mudra." Once these external techniques were perfected, he could no longer restrain his ambition for the outside world.
So, in the 27th year of Chongming, he led his troops south to attack Luonan Road.
Under the Imperial Court’s brutal taxes and oppressive rule, the common people of Luonan Road could no longer endure their grievances against the government. Coupled with the fact that the warriors of Mount Siming were brave and skilled in battle, and strategists like Gongyang Yi were resourceful, they occupied the entire territory of Luonan Road in less than a month.
One hundred thousand soldiers of the Righteous Army surrounded Luojia Mountain. Master Konghai, the abbot of Xuanji Temple, personally came out to surrender.
Unexpectedly...
The moment Master Konghai saw Xu Xing, he proclaimed him to be the Bright King’s reincarnation. Not only did he willingly submit and gift the subsequent cultivation techniques for the Eight-Armed Bright King Sutra, but he also dispatched eight hundred monks down the mountain to follow Xu Xing, aiding Mount Siming in conquering the world.
Knowing there were immortals in Shenjing, Xu Xing dared not send his army to attack it. Instead, he turned his forces south to conquer Jiangnan.
However, just as the Siming Mountain Righteous Army reached the Cao River, the white-haired man suddenly appeared, intending to behead Xu Xing with a single sword strike once more.
But an accident occurred: a grey-robed old monk blocked the flying sword. He transformed into the Eight-Armed Bright King Form, his body radiating a brilliant golden light. As his hands clamped down, the rainbow-like long sword trapped between his palms began to wail.
"Xu Xing possesses the Bright King Body and the bearing of a Human King; the Song Family must not deceive him!" the grey-robed old monk declared, his palms grinding away the flying sword’s spiritual essence.
The white-haired man gave the grey-robed old monk a deep look, then mounted an escaping light and departed.
「Later—」
The grey-robed old monk revealed his identity, explaining that the Royal Family, Xuanji Temple, and Xiaoyao Sect were all powers under the Flying Feather Immortal Palace. Emperor Song Dao of Fengxi Country was an Inner Sect Imperial City Peak True Transmission Disciple, and the white-haired man was Ye Jeming, an Outer Sect genius who had accepted an Outer Sect mission to protect the Song Family’s national foundation.
"After the Innate Realm is the Grandmaster Realm, also known as the Immortal Foundation Realm," the grey-robed old monk revealed a great secret of the world. "You possess the Bright King Body. If you can become a Human King, you can condense a supreme Immortal Base and enter Imperial City Peak as the third True Lineage disciple."
With Xuanji Temple’s support and no obstruction from the white-haired Ye Jeming, Xu Xing quickly conquered Jiangnan, severing the Imperial Court’s financial lifeline.
Shenjing was filled with wails of despair. Emperor Chongming knelt in the Grand Temple, begging his ancestors for forgiveness.
In the same year, Xu Xing proclaimed himself emperor, established the Great Zhou dynasty, and adopted the era name Ganlu.
In the second year of Ganlu, of Fengxi Country’s sixteen Dao, Great Zhou had already conquered seven, all of them prime territories. With the grey-robed old monk from Xuanji Temple as his guarantor, Xu Xing no longer hesitated and led his army to attack Shenjing.
In the third year of Ganlu, Shenjing City fell. Emperor Chongming hanged himself on Mount Wushan in the Imperial Palace. Before dying, he descended into madness, killing his imperial concubines, as well as his own princes and princesses.
In the fifth year of Ganlu, Celestial Messenger Shui Hongyao arrived at the Shenjing Imperial Palace and bestowed upon Xu Xing an Immortal Sect’s preparatory true transmission token.
Thus, Xu Xing abdicated the Imperial Throne to his young son and departed alone for the Immortal Sect.
Upon entering the Immortal Sect, he was immediately targeted by Song Dao. However, with Xuanji Temple’s support, Xu Xing handled the many dangers with ease. But when it came time to condense his Immortal Base and truly transform into a dragon, Song Dao, disregarding all decorum, struck with his Heavenly Intent One Knife, leaving a crack in Xu Xing’s Immortal Base. As a result, Xu Xing’s Immortal Base was flawed, preventing him from becoming a True Disciple.
Although Song Dao was also punished by the Immortal Sect, his many years of effort and deep connections at Imperial City Peak meant his sentence was relatively light: only thirty years of imprisonment in the Black Fire Prison, suffering the pain of a thousand cuts.
With a flawed Immortal Base, Xu Xing could no longer count on Xuanji Temple’s support and remained mediocre for many years.
Until Song Dao was released from confinement...
Using his Sect influence, Song Dao had Xu Xing banished to perform tasks outside the Sect, then beheaded him with a single strike.
Xu Xing was forced to undergo ’resolve with soldiers’ and became an Underground Lord.
"What a pity..." Song Dao, his black hair like a waterfall, glanced at Xu Xing’s soul hidden underground, a hint of mockery playing on his lips. "If you had unified the lands a few years earlier and severed my Dragon Pulse, my attempt to condense the First-Class Dragon and Tiger Dao Pill would have undoubtedly failed. If the pill wasn’t first-class, I wouldn’t have dared to strike you. Sect punishments are no small matter..."
After speaking his innermost thoughts, he flicked a green blade aura from his sleeve, utterly annihilating Xu Xing, whose soul scattered into nothingness.
...
Xu Xing collected himself, organizing the flood of information in his mind.
In this life, after enduring countless trials and hardships, he had finally stepped into the legendary Cultivation World. It was just a shame that he had offended the Royal Song Family while in the mortal world. Consequently, upon entering the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, he was targeted by Emperor Song Dao of Fengxi Country. He lived a muddled existence for over three decades, ultimately meeting a tragic end, his body destroyed and his Dao extinguished.
I can’t wait any longer... I must cut off his Dragon Pulse before Song Dao condenses a First-Rate Dao Pill.
Xu Xing made his decision.
His future self, even before Song Dao’s release from confinement, had already pieced together a wealth of information and guessed why Song Dao acted with such impunity. It was simply because Song Dao possessed something highly valued by the House Elders of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace.
Song Dao’s later taunts only confirmed his suspicions.
First-Rate Dao Pills were rare, even within the entire Flying Feather Immortal Palace. Granted, Song Dao was ruthless and had killed Sect geniuses. However, his cultivation and aptitude were of immeasurable value to the Immortal Palace. Furthermore, Xu Xing and Song Dao shared a mutual grudge. Consequently, the House Elders of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace chose to turn a blind eye to Song Dao’s actions and punished him lightly.
But if Song Dao no longer possessed a First-Rate Dao Pill, then the Heavenly Intent One Knife would not fall so easily upon him!
