Chapter 691 Xiahou Forges Swords (First Update)
An Qisheng was slightly surprised. Besides Xuan Xing, Gu Changfeng, the Lord of the Netherworld, was the only 'transmigrator' he had seen in his dreams of the Great Thousand Worlds.
This shows that although cosmic displacement is frequent, it is rare in a single era.
Moreover, this Qi Cang is actually the Chosen One of a world?
Such a miserable Chosen One…
"Yes."
With a thought, An Qisheng nodded in agreement. Less than a million units of Dao power wasn't too much for him.
Buzz!
Deep within his vision, the Dao Yi Diagram rippled, and in an instant, words flowed out:
[Consumed 960,000 units of Dao power]
Qi Cang (421/?)】
Fate trajectory 1: Xiahou forged the sword in Dragon Spring. On the day the sword was completed, a new world opened up, named Dragon Spring. A wisp of sword intent overflowed and transformed into the Dao of Heaven within the world. The Dao of Heaven was incomplete and, to complete itself, a Chosen One was born…
Qi Cang was born in Dragon Spring World, at the foot of Mount Qianyuan, by the Linquan River. He possessed excellent aptitude and flourishing luck. He achieved success in Daoism at a young age…
On the day he left the mountain, he encountered cosmic displacement and arrived at the Myriad Yang World, Myriad Dharma Star. At first, he was ignorant, but later he joined the Myriad Dharma Sect and came into contact with the Myriad Yang Dharma. Through analogy, he made rapid progress and became famous.
When he left the mountain again, he swept through his generation on Myriad Dharma Star, invincible at the same level. He first heard of the changes in the heavens but didn't take them seriously, thus missing the initial opportunities. Although he had other opportunities later, he was always a step behind, regretting it for the rest of his life.
In the 8,000th year of the Yuan Yang Era, he died at the hands of a Star Sea God's Remnant Thought…]
Fate trajectory 2:… During the upheaval of the heavens, amidst the turbulent waves of fortune, he was favored by the heavens and escaped the long river, returning to before the Great Era.
This act exhausted his luck. When performing the Heaven-Defying Life-Stealing Technique, he suffered a backlash from his fate, plagued by a hundred defeats…
He died in the 1,324th year of the Great Era. The cause of death was a backlash from his fate. He was defeated again by Feng Xinglie, and then encountered the Seven Heroes of the Star Sea emerging from seclusion…]
Level Evaluation: Three Stars]
Forging a sword in Dragon Spring, and the sword opens a world?
Sword intent transforming into the Dao of Heaven?
An Qisheng's pupils shrank. Qi Cang's two lifetimes of fate trajectories were now fully understood, but compared to Qi Cang's experiences,
what caught his attention more was the Dragon Spring World.
A sword opens a world?
Whether the Dragon Spring World was large or small, this was an unimaginable and enormous divine power.
A world is different from a blessed land.
No matter how strong or weak, the foundation of a blessed land is attached to the heavens and earth, absorbing the spiritual energy of the heavens and earth to be born, transform, and exist.
But a world exists independently. The strength of power required for that is unimaginable.
Xiahou, who is that?
A marquis of a large dynasty, or...?
But with a thought, he fixed his gaze on Qi Cang's fate trajectory again:
"Transmigration plus rebirth, no wonder he's the Chosen One of a world…"
Without a doubt, Qi Cang's luck was astonishing.
Cosmic displacement may be considered frequent relative to the heavens and earth, but for an individual, it only happens once in an extremely long period.
To be able to encounter it and arrive intact in another, wider world of cultivation is undoubtedly great luck.
Unfortunately, he wasn't the Chosen One of the Myriad Yang World. He had luck, but it was ultimately a rootless source, and once it dissipated, it was difficult to renew.
And the reason why this foreign world's Chosen One, who was suffering from acclimatization, was so miserable was actually Yuan Duxiu's fate.
A person of a hundred defeats doesn't necessarily lose every battle, but always encounters opponents that they can't overcome even with all their strength.
So that they have no choice but to lose.
Qi Cang, who had taken Yuan Duxiu's fate of a hundred defeats, was, in a sense, bearing the low point in life that Yuan Duxiu should have borne.
Feng Xinglie, Chu Mengyao, and even the Seven Heroes of the Star Sea…
In fact, if it weren't for his arrival, Yuan Duxiu wouldn't have been able to hold on until he became king.
Qi Cang fell into a strange state.
His expression was somewhat dazed, and past memories flowed through his mind constantly.
There were memories from his previous life, and also from this life.
There was joy, there was sorrow, and there was regret. Past events surged in his mind like smoke.
'Am I going to die…'
A trace of sorrow arose in Qi Cang's heart. Recalling his miserable life, he couldn't help but want to shed tears of sadness.
After years of studying, he had just left the mountain, wanting to show off his skills, when he suddenly came to such a strange world.
After many years of struggling and carefully familiarizing himself with this world, the heavens changed again, and unprecedentedly powerful experts emerged one after another.
He was like a shooting star obscured by the light of the sun, dim and dull.
He returned after reversing time and space, ambitiously wanting to compare himself with Yuan Yang, but unexpectedly, he fell on that unlucky Great Sun Son, Yuan Duxiu, whose luck was ridiculously low...
That was all, but he was even occupied by a demonic dragon god's Remnant Thought, narrowly escaping death.
In the end, even his rebirth might have been manipulated?
Never before had he felt so strongly what it meant to be the weak preyed upon by the strong. Qi Cang felt sorrow in his heart, but found that he no longer had any fear of death.
Huff~
What seemed like a long time was actually just a few moments. An Qisheng released his finger.
Qi Cang opened his eyes in a daze. Whether it was an illusion or not, he saw a trace of pity in the eyes of this future Yuan Yang Great Emperor.
"I..."
As soon as he spoke, Qi Cang was startled by himself. His throat was as dry as iron rubbing against stone, and his voice was extremely unpleasant.
He wanted to ask what the Yuan Yang Great Emperor had obtained from him, but he opened his mouth and closed it again.
"The Blood Rebirth Technique, you've mastered it quite well. It's a pity you didn't take it a step further, otherwise you wouldn't have failed to discover the God's Remnant Thought."
Having obtained what he wanted, An Qisheng's attitude softened a lot. Although Qi Cang's heart was higher than the sky and his life was thinner than paper, he had never done anything evil.
The execution of the Heaven-Defying Life-Stealing Technique could be said to be a huge benefit for Yuan Duxiu.
The fate of a hundred defeats was too special, so special that if this fate was placed on any great power throughout the ages, it would surely lead to their early death. Naturally, if they could survive a hundred defeats, their potential would be astonishing.
In other words, the more miserable Qi Cang was, the greater the gains Yuan Duxiu would have. If Qi Cang suffered a hundred defeats, Yuan Duxiu might even become king on the spot.
The wonder of luck lies in this.
"You… You saw my memories?!"
Qi Cang's expression changed slightly.
It wasn't that he was afraid of others knowing his secrets. At this point, he himself suspected that his memories were false. It was just that if the Yuan Yang Great Emperor saw his memories,
wouldn't he be able to see his soliloquy at the time…
Thinking of his ambition to try to compete with Yuan Yang at the time, his face felt a little hot.
"I'm not interested in your private affairs. What I saw was the future you experienced, and the 'legends.'"
An Qisheng knew what he was worried about and said lightly:
"However, everything that is passed down by word of mouth is inevitably distorted. Your act of treating 'legends' as the standard is destined to fail."
What are legends?
Things that are widely spread and whose origin is unknown, unverified things, some of which are true, some of which are false, with truth in falsehood and falsehood in truth.
One cannot not believe them, but one cannot completely believe them either.
But he knew that this couldn't be blamed on Qi Cang either. He couldn't obtain or come into contact with the true records of all things, passed down to later generations.
Qi Cang was silent. He didn't want to admit it, but he couldn't refute it.
In his opinion, with his previous life's foundation and his means of foreseeing the future, he shouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state.
If he hadn't met Yuan Duxiu…
"This time, I've gained a lot, and I should give something back."
An Qisheng pondered slightly, then pointed his finger again. A ray of light burst out from his fingertip and fell between Qi Cang's eyebrows:
"Since you know the Blood Rebirth Technique, you should also know the follow-up root Dao of the Blood Rebirth Technique. With this method, plus the opportunities from your previous life, perhaps it can allow you to avenge today's hatred…"
An Qisheng's voice echoed.
Qi Cang heard it, but could no longer answer. The ray of light was imperceptible from the outside, but the moment it fell into his mind, it suddenly exploded.
It was as if a great sun burst forth with light, and endless text essences instantly filled his heart, occupying all of his mind.
"The follow-up root cultivation Dao of the Blood Rebirth Technique…"
Qi Cang murmured in his heart.
In his previous life, he had never joined the Heavenly Court, nor had he learned the true inheritance methods of this Yuan Yang Great Emperor.
But he also knew that he possessed immeasurable divine powers.
In detail, they were divided into the 'Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends' and the 'Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars,' as well as the 'Eight Innate Daos.'
The Blood Rebirth Technique belongs to the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends, and above that should be the 'Thousand Transformations Divine Power!'
And its origin,
isn't it '巽 (Xun)' one of the Eight Innate Daos?!
After casually sending Qi Cang away, An Qisheng stood with his hands behind his back in front of the clouds, gazing at the extreme of the cloud sea void, his eyes dark: "What is He going to do?"
……
Huff~
A long, long time later, Qi Cang suddenly came back to his senses.
He wanted to thank him, but when he opened his eyes, he found himself in a mountain forest, surrounded by grass and trees. He was no longer in the floating heavenly palace.
"Yuan Yang… Great Emperor."
Qi Cang's spirit relaxed, and he suddenly felt a little lost.
The white-haired Daoist gave him an incredibly heavy pressure, but as long as he was in front of him, he didn't have to worry about possible schemes from outside.
Whether it was the God's Remnant Thought, or others.
Dimly, he understood why so many people would follow Daoist Yuan Yang in the future world.
Even in such an unprecedentedly grand world of the future, not everyone wants to compete for the supreme position...
"Mm?"
He was in a daze when he suddenly felt a movement in his heart and looked back.
He saw not far from the mountain forest, beside a stream, three bamboo houses surrounded by a fence, quiet and serene, like a secluded place for a hermit.
At this time, outside the fence, a beautiful and delicate young woman was washing clothes by the stream.
Inside the fence, a pink and jade-like little doll was lazily lying on a bamboo chair, flipping through a yellowed ancient book.
The child seemed to be only three or five years old, but he didn't have the playfulness that he should have at this age. Instead, he had a detached and otherworldly air.
Qi Cang's eyelids twitched: "Celestial Master Sun En?!"
His heart 'thumped' and he finally understood An Qisheng's words earlier.
He had never heard of the Yuan Yang Great Emperor knowing Sun En in any legend, but he casually sent him to Sun En's secluded residence.
Could it be a coincidence?
"Heh~"
Sun En put down the ancient book, looked towards the side of the mountain forest, and smiled slightly:
"Even in the wild mountains and forests, there are guests?"
