Qing Ling continued before he could react, "Ming Dao, is the first step. Cheng Dao, the second step.
The final step is Yang Dao!
In the past, the White Dragon Ancestor took the final step, Yang Dao to the world, ascended on his dragon, and reached the pinnacle of this path.
I hope you can go a step further and break free from the shackles of destiny!" Bai Ze was shocked and said, "Can I do it?"
Qing Ling smiled and said, "Why can't you?"
At the summit of Jian Mu, the young man's mind was in a daze, fluttering in the wind and clouds.
Qing Ling walked to the edge of Jian Mu, one step beyond was the height of the twenty-fifth heaven.
"Fate is decreed by heaven, but destiny lies in human effort. Since the Heavenly Dao began to rule the Primordial World, all beings are born with a fate determined by the Heavenly Dao. Destiny, however, is the momentum of all beings. Regardless of whether they are gods, immortals, or beasts, they all have destiny.
Destiny is fortune, and fortune is divided into life, death, and calamity. Fortune is divided into human fortune, heavenly fortune, and earthly fortune.
Heavenly fate is fixed and static, unchangeable.
Destiny is uncertain and dynamic, unstoppable.
One static, one dynamic, is the Dao, the Great Dao of Destiny!
What you need to do is to see through heavenly fate, understand the three energies and three destinies, and use the convergence of destiny to change heavenly fate!
Fate precedes destiny, and fate is determined first, making it strong and great.
Destiny follows fate, destiny is unpredictable and complex, and weak destiny is insignificant.
You must use the small to defeat the great, and the weak to change the strong!"
Bai Ze was silent for a long time. He pondered for a long time, and the confusion in his eyes gradually lit up.
He was extremely excited and said, "Please, Dao Master, teach me!"
Qing Ling nodded with a smile. The divine beast Bai Ze was indeed a beast of destiny!
"Then watch closely!"
The vast firmament is emptiness, one lamp guides another.
The Ten Absolute Heavenly Lamps illuminate the universe, residing in the highest heavens and overlooking the destinies of all beings.
Qing Ling's primordial spirit bloomed, and the vision of a supreme master was grafted onto Bai Ze's eyes.
Bai Ze instantly perceived endless thoughts, countless secrets, and infinite principles of the Dao.
So this is the realm of a supreme master, and so is a supreme god.
In Bai Ze's eyes, the world was chaotic, yet brilliant and colorful.
Myriad fortunes and destinies intertwined and converged. The Primordial World was a mass of red light, with trillions of living beings being swept along in the rolling mortal dust.
Destiny was not in any one place in heaven and earth, yet it was in every single one of the trillions of beings.
Bai Ze's consciousness roamed between heaven and earth for a moment. He stood at Qing Ling's height to observe heaven and earth, to feel the myriad Daos, and to know all beings.
The scattered dots of the Great Dao of Destiny, left by the White Dragon Ancestor's return to heaven and earth, awakened at this moment, like stars, like fireflies, flying towards Bai Ze to condense within him.
Bai Ze, at some unknown time, transformed into his original form, with a tiger's head, crimson hair, and horns, and a dragon's body to ride.
He was surrounded by reflections of the sun, moon, and stars, flowers, birds, insects, fish, heaven and earth, yin and yang, the five elements, the origin of the Dao. The Great Dao of Destiny encompassed three thousand, and above the three thousand Daos lay destiny!
Bai Ze fell into a deep slumber, slumbering within heaven and earth.
Seeing this, Qing Ling reached out and summoned the Ten Absolute Heavenly Lamps. Myriad fortunes and mortal dust flowed like a river, rushing towards Bai Ze and enveloping him.
He slumbered amidst the myriad fortunes and mortal dust.
Qing Ling was extremely satisfied. By the time Bai Ze awoke, the changes in heaven and earth would be even more unpredictable.
During the years when Patriarch Hongjun was in seclusion, Qing Ling had stirred up too much trouble, making the general trend of heaven and earth much more chaotic and complex.
The grand plan of heaven and earth was nearing completion. He was the one holding the chess pieces, controlling the rules, and setting them.
As for him, Qing Ling, he could only lay out his plans everywhere. Every move was irreversible, and every swing of his hand was a spear. This was a war without smoke, and perhaps a struggle that Patriarch Hongjun never even noticed.
But for Qing Ling, it was the foundation of his existence!
On Jian Mu, Qing Ling once again turned to cultivation, practicing qi and comprehending the Dao. The Great Dao of Wood sensed all sentient beings.
Every flower, blade of grass, and tree in the world was a Dao, and also his Dao.
The Wood Dao originated from the earth, rose to the Great Void, and manifested in the heavens and the earth.
The birth and sprouting of every seed, the thousands of years of vicissitudes of every tree, the wild grass that withered and flourished with each passing year, the resilience of wood, the vitality of wood, the creation of wood, the withering and flourishing, life and death, the three thousand Great Daos, the Wood Dao contained one of each.
Years turned into thousands and tens of thousands of years. The Primordial World was in constant flux.
One by one, living beings transformed into Daoists, and immortal mountains and spiritual mountains were gradually occupied and claimed by Daoists.
The name of Penglai in the overseas islands and the might of Kunlun in the west were known throughout the Primordial World.
When any female immortal in the world attained the Golden Immortal realm, she would be guided to the Western Kunlun by the Azure Bird Fairy.
As fated by heaven, the Golden Register of the Queen Mother was a treasure of fortune. The names of all female immortals in the world were recorded in it!
Only those female immortals whose names were recorded were considered to be ranked among the immortals and received true immortality!
Furthermore, due to Dong Wang Gong's preaching, the Huang Ting Jing became the origin of all Daoist scriptures in the world, and all Daos revered it!
This scripture was the root of all Daoist scriptures and the source of cultivation for all Daoists in the world.
The immortal path had gradually become prosperous and flourishing, with immortals everywhere across the four seas and eight directions, and countless dojos.
The three ancient races went into seclusion, watching the beings of the world roam freely in heaven and earth from their hidden places, only with envy.
Alas, their era had passed and would never return.
The inheritance of the immortal path also brought etiquette, brought subtle indoctrination, and washed away the barbaric civilization of the three ancient races.
Now, all immortals only knew that the end of immortality and the peak of the Dao was the Great Luo Golden Immortal. Above the Great Luo was the Quasi-Saint, and above the Quasi-Saint was the legendary Saint, also known as the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal!
The thirty-three great realms of power set by the Ten Great Supreme Beings of the Ancient Era were also forgotten, submerged in the tide of history.
After all, all history was created by the victors, and the losers were not worthy of the truth.
The beings in the west also gradually multiplied, and their species and cultivation became complete.
Zhunti and Jieyin, the two of them, could not figure out why the cultivation of the western lands was progressing so unexpectedly quickly, beyond their imagination.
They would never know that under the Jian Mu in the east, countless Jian Mu roots were embedded in the Primordial land, moving life force from east to west, and the power of the Wood Dao was secretly nurturing the life force of the west.
The west, it seemed, was no longer so barren.
Various cultivators and immortals also went to the western continent, taking root there, gathering mountain and river spiritual脉, forging cave dwellings, and building dojos.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth also broke through its confinement with the Jian Mu roots beneath the earth.
The primordial qi was balanced between heaven and earth. The western region was deficient in spiritual energy, while the eastern region had a much higher density and concentration of spiritual energy, but it was blocked by the aura of the Great Dao left behind by the three thousand worlds.
However, the Jian Mu roots broke this confinement. The spiritual energy of the east surged like tides, flowing to the western lands. Although the western region still had less spiritual energy, it was already much richer than the Heavenly Dao had predicted.
Life force, spiritual energy, living beings, the western land was gradually showing the embryonic form of prosperity!
The struggle between the Dao and Buddhism. If Buddhism were to be perfected at birth, even if the Dao held the general trend, it would not be united. What would be the trend of the world, the orthodox Xuanmen, and the heretical Buddhism, according to the historical trend?
All these arrangements were due to the White Dragon's transformation, which triggered the transformation of the God of Withering and Flourishing, thus causing a variable in Hongjun.
Twenty Yuan Hui after Nuwa's famous battle at Fengqi Mountain, two great beings who had traveled far arrived before Senluo City.
Beneath the abyss of the Youming Blood Sea, an innate aura erupted, and profound Daoist light illuminated the entire Blood Sea. The innate spirit startled countless hidden great beings!
Qing Ling, who had been in seclusion for twenty Yuan Hui, slowly opened his eyes. He was only a sliver away from the twenty-sixth heaven realm!
