Chapter 693: Destiny and Immortality

 The heavenly tribulations in the early Yuan Dynasty are not consistent in intensity with the ancient and modern tribulations. This is a great discovery.

 Li Qing embarked on the path of freedom, Taoism, and natural disasters accounted for most of the factors. The unreasonable natural disasters made him distrust heaven and earth and lose his sense of security. After that, he coordinated the path of cultivation and escaped from the constraints of heaven, earth, and people.

“I knew that the catastrophe would not always be of this intensity. There would always be a reasonable time, and that was in the early Yuan Dynasty!” Li Qing’s eyes were wandering.

 In the early Yuan Dynasty, many three-flowered souls emerged simply because the intensity of the natural disaster was reasonable. Nowadays, no genius can survive such a terrifying natural disaster.

 The change in the intensity of the heavenly tribulation is to stifle the immortal wizards.

 What happened between the early Yuan era and the Immortal Ancient era to change the intensity of the heavenly tribulation? Li Qing was shocked.

He suspected that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a catastrophic event that caused the Yuan Dynasty to disappear completely and its reputation was lost. The remaining creatures were isolated in the Yuanchu continent in the abyss of chaos.

“Is this natural change related to the emergence of alien races in the last years of Immortal Ancient times?” Li Qing thought.

 Li Qing flipped through the Chronicles of Heroes and quickly found a familiar name, Ye Xuan.

When Li Qing and Qiao An returned to the Star Realm, they discovered a true immortal tomb in the ancient battle monument space. The owner of the tomb was from the early Yuan Dynasty. His name was Ye Xuan. He was a Sanhua spirit. He was once defeated by a monk named Hongtian. .

“Ye Xuan was born in the Ye family, a major sect of immortality. The Ye family was the oldest family in the early Yuan Dynasty. It appeared after the creation of the world and the evolution of chaos. There are immortal immortals in the family who have obtained the status of immortality.”

“Ye Xuan has three flowers with twenty-seven petals. Before that generation of true immortals, he had fought against all the invincible opponents in the world and defeated all his enemies of the same generation. He even went against the trend and defeated a group of veteran true immortals.”

"Ye Xuan is regarded as the absolute winner of the ninth immortality position. There is no need for a big fight. He only needs to complete the path of true immortality to secure the position."

"A change occurred. A creature named Hongtian was born sixty thousand years later than Ye Xuan. His origin is unknown. He rose rapidly. After fifty thousand years of cultivation, he became a true immortal. He defeated Ye Xuan and became famous all over the world."

“After that, Hongtian won the ninth immortality.”

　　　…”

“The immortality fruit position must be the ‘immortality’ in the glass box.” Li Qing thought, in the early Yuan Dynasty, ‘immortality’ seemed to be open to competition.

 The Chronicle of Heroes records all the immortality fruit positions, a total of thirty-three, which also means that up to thirty-three immortals can be born.

“So, the number of Immortal Immortals currently in Immortal Heritage will not exceed thirty-three. Including the unused glazed boxes, the actual number is less than thirty.”

“Can a living being only use one of these immortality positions, or multiple ones?”

“If there are more than one, then the number of Immortals may be less than twenty.”

“What is the ‘immortality’ in the box?” Li Qing actually already had the answer in his heart.

 In the early Yuan Dynasty, it was called "immortality fruit position", which had different meanings.

 Eternal life, as long as the heaven and earth, is also eternal life; the sky will never be destroyed, and the living beings will never die.

When Li Qing was refining ‘Eternal Life’, he saw ‘destiny’, which may be the destiny of heaven. Those who refine the destiny of destiny can blend into the years, live as long as heaven and earth, and remain immortal.

“I have achieved the fruit of the Tao of Freedom and jumped out of heaven, earth and people. It is inconsistent with the destiny of heaven, so it cannot be refined. The so-called listening to the breath of immortality may be to follow the breath of destiny, listen to the voice of heaven, and gain the longevity of heaven.”

Based on his own experience, Li Qing seems to have seen through the mystery of immortality.

The prophecy of the Year of the Turtle is correct. If the thirty-three days are occupied by a foreign land, the heaven and earth will have to be changed, causing the Immortal Immortal to lose his destiny. The Immortal Immortal will also die and cannot escape.

"I'm destined to live forever, but it's just a false immortality. It's not what I asked for." Li Qing was glad that he was on the right path. If he hadn't obtained the free path fruit and had changed to another path fruit, he would have grown into an immortal at this moment, and he would be the same as the immortal. The world is completely bound.

The power of the Immortal Immortal is enough to destroy the Immortal Legacy. Who can guarantee that the Immortal Legacy will always maintain order? There is a precedent for the broken Sixth Heaven.

 …

"Yes." Li Qing's pupils shrank, and he discovered something else.

 The status of the immortality fruit is fixed. In the early Yuan Dynasty, there were immortals.

 But that Immortal is different from this Immortal. The current Immortals are all creatures from the Ancient Immortal Era, including the ancestors of Hongchen.

 The Immortal Immortal of the early Yuan Dynasty died.

“A sudden change in the sky at the end of the Yuan Dynasty caused the heavenly tribulation to change, and the heaven and earth also changed. This may have led to the death of all immortals in the early Yuan Dynasty, and the death of all souls.” Li Qing seemed to have seen a glimmer of the truth.

"So...the alien races in the last years of the Immortal Ancient Period are experiencing a new change in the sky?" Li Qing pondered, "Will this change in the sky change the world and cause all the old Immortals to fall?"

If a foreign race captures the Thirty-Three Days of Immortal Relics, everything will be destroyed.

The Immortal Immortal died in the early Yuan Dynasty, and the creatures in the lower realm were almost extinct. Only the creatures in the mainland in the early Yuan Dynasty avoided it.

Li Qing is not completely sure of his own guess. If the emergence of foreign lands is caused by a sudden change, it may be unstoppable. After all, the early Yuan Dynasty has been shattered.

 But what is the source of the change?

Liu Sanbian is going to a place of chaos to solve the source. What secrets does Liu Sanbian know?

Li Qing's eyes returned to the Chronicle of Heroes. In the evaluation of peerless prodigies, Hongtian ranked first with an absolute advantage and was named the number one prodigy in the early Yuan Dynasty.

Ye Xuan is ranked fourth. He is the only creature whose background is ranked in the top ten but has not achieved the status of immortality.

“With three flowers and twenty-seven petals, Hongtian can surpass Ye Xuan and defeat him. Can I?” Li Qing murmured.

In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed since Li Qing set foot on the Yuanchu Continent, and he already knows the Yuanchu Continent very well.

 The situation of the Immortal Relics Clan has also been somewhat clarified.

The Xianyi Clan is composed of three tribes: Hong, Pan, and Hao. In the early Yuan Dynasty, most of the true immortals in the mainland came from the Xianyi Clan.

Li Qing wants to find a new path to immortality, so he must contact the Immortal Relics, but he doesn't know how to visit, whether to hide as a local or directly as a foreigner.

Li Qing had not yet made a decision. Two years later, a message came to him from Liu Tong: "Come to Diyuan Mountain quickly!"

Li Qing immediately fled to Diyuan Mountain, but the person waiting for him was not Liu Tong, but two strange monks, both of whom had the aura of true immortals who listened to the breath of immortality.

Two monks, one has a big head and thick ears, the other has a long nose and a wide mouth, neither of them is human.

 “Are you Lin Fusheng, a foreigner?” The creature with a big head and thick ears looked at Li Qing indifferently.

Li Qing's eyes darkened: "What happened to Liu Tong?"

 “He’s very good!” The big-headed and thick-eared creature laughed strangely and attacked Li Qing directly.

Li Qing snorted lightly and punched out randomly, hitting the big-headed creature with blood vomiting from its mouth and confusion in its eyes.

Li Qing took another step forward, grabbed the big-eared creature by the neck, and tried to take off the other person's head. He shouted loudly: "Fellow Daoist Lin, please be merciful, misunderstanding!"

 The cry came from another creature with a long nose and a wide mouth. He was startled by Li Qing's strength and was sweating profusely.

 “If you speak slower, his head will be gone.” Li Qing said lightly.

The creature with a long nose and wide mouth cupped his hands and said, "We have no ill intentions. My name is Hong Xi, and I come from the Hong tribe of the Immortal Relic Clan. That's Panxu. Panxu heard that fellow Taoist disciples are astonishingly powerful. He has the fighting power of the Immortal Immortal before he has broken through the path to true immortality. Try it on purpose."

 “What’s going on, where is Liu Tong?” Li Qing frowned.

 …

"Liu Tong has the blood of the immortal clan?" Li Qing quickly learned the cause and effect and was surprised.

Hong Xi said: "Yes, Liu Sanbian broke into the mainland of the early Yuan Dynasty in the past, fell in love with a woman from our immortal tribe, gave birth to twins, and brought them out of the mainland of the early Yuan Dynasty. Liu Tong is a descendant of the woman from the immortal tribe."

“A few days ago, Liu Tong recognized his ancestor and returned to his clan.”

Li Qing did not expect such changes. The passage out of the mainland of the Yuan Dynasty would generally not be able to pass if you bring other living beings with you, but it seems that you can bring your biological children with you.

 That noble lady from the immortal clan did not go to the thirty-third heaven.

Li Qing originally wanted to contact the Immortal Relics, but now that Liu Tong is the intermediary, it is convenient.

The creature named Panxu apologized at this moment: "I, the Pan tribe, are aggressive and consider themselves no weaker than those of the same level, but today I submit to you."

Li Qing nodded.

Liu Tong asked Hongxi and Panxu to take Li Qing to the Immortal Relics, and Li Qing did everything he could.

Lee Sin is not afraid of traps either.

On the way, Hong Xi said in a solemn voice: "Liu Tong has already informed us about the changes in the Thirty-Third Heaven. We didn't know that such a big change has happened in the outside world."

“But it’s really not easy for fellow Taoists to bloom three flowers with twenty-seven petals in this era.”

“The entire continent of the Yuan Dynasty was trapped by chance, and there were no living beings who followed the path of the Yang Pole.”

Li Qing has a big doubt in his heart, but he will wait until he meets Liu Tong to talk about it, so he is not in a hurry to ask.

With the help of the teleportation array, Li Qing appeared in the giant city of the Immortal Relics tribe not long after.

 “A foreigner, he is a foreigner!” As soon as Li Qing appeared, a large number of people gathered around and screamed in surprise.

"Lin Fusheng, this way!" Liu Tong was waiting near the teleportation array, his face beaming with joy.

Since he had broken the path to true immortality and had the blood of the Hao tribe of the immortal tribe, Liu Tong had an extraordinary status after recognizing his ancestor and returning to the clan.

 Liu Tong received Li Qing and quickly took Li Qing into a private courtyard.

 Two people exchange information.

“…This is the situation.” Li Qing first explained the great discoveries and insights he had made in the past twelve years.

Liu Tongdao: "Some of your guesses are absolutely correct. The so-called 'immortality' is exactly destiny. Destiny is numbered, and the number of immortals is fixed. The creatures in the early Yuan Dynasty pursued the road to true immortality precisely because it was difficult to compete for destiny. Seek the ultimate path.”

“When a true immortal becomes an Immortal, each additional Dao Fruit can refine one more destiny, up to three. The more destiny, the greater the potential.”

“Liu Ancestor has refined three Heavenly Mandates, and his strength is unparalleled in ancient times.”

“The practice of Immortal Immortal is to transform the field of Dao into a Dao realm. The size of the Dao realm determines the strength of Immortal Immortal.”

“The changes in the sky you mentioned are not clearly recorded by the Immortal Relic Clan, but the change in the intensity of the heavenly tribulation is a fact. The sky has indeed changed.”

“The catastrophe of the early Yuan Dynasty was equally difficult to overcome, but it could be overcome. Unlike the current catastrophe, it could not be overcome by normal means.”

“I have talked with some immortal beings, and they all believe that the current alien catastrophe is the second natural disaster.”

"Whether the catastrophe of the alien race was caused by a catastrophic change in the sky remains to be determined," Li Qing muttered. "In the catastrophic change in the early Yuan Dynasty, all the Immortal Immortals were destroyed. Only this continent in the early Yuan Dynasty became... Why did we find the last piece of pure land and avoid disaster?"

"I heard a saying that the mainland was isolated here in the early Yuan Dynasty to suppress Chongbao..."
