Chapter 399: Chapter 34 Common Destiny

Without paying heed to Empyrean Kong shi’s envy, at this moment, Zhang Xuan’s mind was immersed in the Suspended Realm, looking at the fantastical scene before him with disbelief.

The juncture where the Suspended Realm connected with the Source World looked like a place of chaos, where eight long rivers stood tall in eight directions of the world, resembling silver galaxies descending from the heavens.

The Youqing Destiny stood staunchly in the very center, like emperors seated in the heart of all, with countless fine threads extending into the eight rivers, dense and intricate like a spider’s web.

“What is this?”

Jolted in his heart, the vista before his eyes faded, and upon looking up again, the spot where the rivers had appeared was empty, with nothing but darkness.

“Could it be… this is my River of Destiny?”

Zhang Xuan was curious.

Once cultivation breakthroughs reached the Life Sea Realm, one can tug their River of Destiny out of the Phantasm Space, turning things into fate’s form – the so-called “Communion with Destiny.”

For instance, Jiang Li’s pill forging involves pulling out his own destiny from the Phantasm Space and cleansing the medicinal materials within it, allowing pills to be forged in an instant, at most consuming some Heavenly Mandate Vitality.

If the Mo Dao Destiny could also reach this realm, upon releasing the river, it would transform into countless saber qi, and few of the same level could resist!

Of course, each Sword Intent in the river, each pill forging technique, was the product of accumulated day-by-day effort, not something achieved overnight.

Normally, without breaking through to the Life Sea Realm, it’s impossible to pull out the River of Destiny, much less see it, yet now, with the help of the Spirit Void Breaking Miasma Pill and various other pills consumed earlier, he had surprisingly managed to do so!

However, these medicinal effects only lasted for barely three breaths before quickly dissipating, along with the power that was about to break through.

This meant that, if he hadn’t witnessed this glimpse of the River of Destiny, he might very well have succeeded in reaching the Galaxy 7-dan.

“Seeing the River of Destiny, does that mean it can be pulled out to battle with others?”

An idea emerged.

Tugging the river into combat was a capability only possessed by Life Sea Realm experts. If he could do it, did it mean he needn’t fear even Life Sea Realm experts?

Although his river seemed weak, its level was extremely high, surpassing even the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony and possibly already reaching the First Level.

At such a level, even if the quantity was less, leveraging its quality would surely not result in much weakness.

“However… the power consumed using this thing is just too great; unless facing absolute danger, it’s better not to use it!”

After trying so many pills and consuming the Spirit Void Breaking Miasma Pill along with two bottles of successfully forged Earth Nether Yellow pills, he only managed to observe for three breaths. To pull it all out and enlist it in battle, who knows how much power would be needed.

However, it was also because his current strength was too low. If he could break through to Galaxy 7-dan and attain an understanding of destiny to the fourth level, it would likely be much easier.

“Let’s break through as soon as possible!”

With a thought, his consciousness returned to the Library of Heaven’s Path, falling upon the river suspended within.

This river in the Library was identical to the one he had just seen in the Source World, only shrunk countless times over.

“The River of Destiny within the Library should be a high replica of the Source World. By comprehending this, I should be able to grasp the Youqing Destiny in the Source World…”

A revelation dawned within him.

The New World is a world, and the Source World is also a world.

Though differing in size and power, they belong to the same type of entity; therefore, the River of Destiny that appears in the Library of Heaven’s Path should follow the same principles as the river in the Source World.

If he could better understand the one before him, perhaps one day he’ll be able to manipulate the river seen just now, as majestic as an emperor.

With the Library in mind, it’s equivalent to being within his own New World, and being a Master of One Realm, understanding it should definitely be simpler than for ordinary people!

Thinking this way… doesn’t it mean he has a massive cheat tool?

As long as he regularly contemplates the destiny within this place, isn’t it the same as comprehending the destiny of the Source World?

No wonder, in just over two short months since arriving in the New World, he had comprehended the Youqing Destiny to the pinnacle of the third level, while destinies like Mo Dao and Fox Charm had even reached the fourth level…

The root cause lay here.

Filled with excitement and thinking of delving into study to strive for a breakthrough to the fourth level, and to better assault the Galaxy 7-dan, his gaze shifted and he froze in place.

Next to the Youqing Destiny, a new river had appeared without him knowing when, constructed from numerous ancient runes and flowing through the Phantasm Space, like a swimming little serpent.

“This is… Space Destiny? Even this can be replicated?”

Zhang Xuan was full of disbelief.

The Space Destiny had appeared while he was using Teleportation Formations. Subsequent events prevented him from seeing it, but now he realized that a Second-level Heavenly Destiny had appeared within the Library.

Although it still appeared frail, at the first level, it was ultimately a Second-level existence. Once it had enough Heavenly Mandate Vitality to nourish it, it would surely soar to great heights.

Yet all these shocking discoveries soon passed, what was crucial was that if even the Library could replicate this, wouldn’t it mean… it could replicate even higher-level destinies?

There are a total of eight First Level Destinies in the world, and although he currently didn’t know their names, if he could replicate them all, wouldn’t he be able to leap beyond the Source World and become a truly pinnacle-level expert?

“Young friend?”

Just then, a voice rang out.

Zhang Xuan looked up, realizing only now that Jiang Li, Yao Yun, and the others were all watching intently, confusion in their eyes.

“I’m fine…”

Zhang Xuan exhaled and gave a slight smile: “Let’s continue the experiment!”

Now that he had found a method to quickly comprehend destiny, what mattered most was accumulating medicinal power and Heavenly Mandate Vitality.

With enough of these, he could progress at rocket speed.

In just a few years, or even months, he might successfully assault the Life Sea Realm.

“Did you feel anything after taking this pill just now?”

Jiang Li couldn’t help asking.

“Yes, the sensation…”

Knowing that the latter relied on this to completely succeed in pill forging, Zhang Xuan picked up a writing brush and fell into contemplation.

The currently forged Spirit Void Breaking Miasma Pill, although also possessing certain dispelling abilities, used the Source Crystal of the Wind Wolf, which could easily drive people into frenzy and lead them to go berserk.

If ingredients with icy crystal attributes like Ice Licorice could be added, it would balance out this power, keeping one clear-headed at crucial moments.

This was also the reason he asked for Earth Nether Yellow just now.

Because the freshly prepared Earth Nether Yellow contained that kind of medicinal material.

However… to directly say so would be somewhat repetitive and too blatantly obvious in its purpose.

He must be more subtle in his approach.

A thought flashed through his mind, and an idea emerged. Zhang Xuan casually wrote it down.

Yao Yun couldn’t help but approach to look, but before finishing, he was stunned on the spot.

“This herb, after eating too much, one tends to get thirsty, the fiery energy is quite strong. If it could be paired with a bit of ice-cooled seasoning, it would feel much better…”

Is this… treating the pill trial as if it were a food tasting show?
