Chapter 818: 415, Fate Deduction, Ancient Heavenly Court Immortal Emperor's Ruthlessness, Huangquan Emperor's Scheme (Seeking Subscriptions)
In the five thousand years of waiting for Zhao Yunniang to resurrect, my cultivation will hardly have any significant improvement. It seems there's no time to delay; now is the best time to try and solidify this Three Purities Celestial Destiny [Flame Light Emperor], Xu Xing pondered for a moment, then decided.
After reaching the True Immortal realm, his cultivation could only be improved by grinding it out bit by bit over endless years. Therefore, he had no reason to delay solidifying the Three Purities Celestial Destiny [Flame Light Emperor].
Similar to the Four Imperial Immortal Fates [Sun Star Monarch], solidifying this Immortal Fate would consume a lot of energy.
However, this was not a difficult task for Xu Xing at present.
After leaving an avatar in the North River World to guard the Rebirth Immortal Array, he had returned to the Cold Frost Immortal World. Then, using his True Immortal Dao Fruits, he entered the subterranean Immortal Veins of the Cold Frost Immortal World to draw Immortal Qi.
Among the Nine Great Immortal Realms, each had a colossal Immortal Vein running through the entire realm beneath its surface. These were also called the Nine Major Ancestral Immortal Veins by Immortals. These Nine Major Ancestral Immortal Veins gave rise to countless smaller Immortal Veins and even lower-grade spiritual veins within the Immortal Worlds.
However, since their birth, the Nine Major Ancestral Immortal Veins had possessed innate law prohibitions, making it difficult for Immortals to enter.
But Xu Xing was different. As a Divine Official attuned to the Heavenly Dao, Xu Xing could ignore the innate law prohibitions of the Ancestral Immortal Veins and enter them. Moreover, he was a True Immortal and could rely on his formidable power to shatter the innate law prohibitions and enter the Ancestral Immortal Veins.
Upon entering, Xu Xing was immediately astounded by the Immortal Qi, so dense it had atomized into fog and even crystallized. Although he had long anticipated the extraordinary Immortal Qi within the Ancestral Immortal Veins, he had never imagined its sheer abundance would so vastly exceed his expectations.
Will stealing Immortal Qi from here incur the Heavenly Dao's aversion and taint me with karma? As soon as Xu Xing arrived at the Ancestral Immortal Veins and began meditating, the [Sun Star Monarch] god seal in his mind transmitted this message to him.
Upon receiving this message, Xu Xing was momentarily taken aback, but then understanding dawned. The Ancestral Immortal Veins carry the Immortal Qi of an entire realm. Stealing Immortal Qi from them here would inevitably affect the operations of the Cold Frost Immortal World. It was thus understandable that the Heavenly Dao would harbor aversion towards him, causing him to be tainted with karma.
However, there's a limit to this aversion. As long as I don't plunder a massive amount of Immortal Qi from the Ancestral Immortal Veins, I won't be tainted with too much karma… Xu Xing began to communicate with the Heavenly Dao's "consciousness" using the [Sun Star Monarch] god seal and received a precise answer.
The energy he required to solidify the Three Purities Celestial Destiny [Flame Light Emperor] was but a drop in the ocean to the Ancestral Immortal Veins; it wouldn't cause any fundamental damage or significant harm. As long as he performed more good deeds in the future to eliminate this karma, he would be fine.
Seeing this, Xu Xing no longer hesitated. He began to absorb the Immortal Qi from the Ancestral Immortal Veins to solidify his Three Purities Celestial Destiny [Flame Light Emperor].
Time flowed onward, years streaking by like a shuttle. In the blink of an eye, one hundred and seventy years had passed.
With his True Immortal strength, Xu Xing finally absorbed enough Immortal Qi from within the Ancestral Immortal Veins of the Cold Frost Immortal World to solidify the Three Purities Celestial Destiny [Flame Light Emperor].
Then, with a mere thought, Xu Xing began to solidify the Three Purities Celestial Destiny [Flame Light Emperor] listed in the [Taoist Fruits] column of his status.
「Two years later.」
In the [Taoist Fruits] column, the Four Imperial Immortal Fates [Sun Star Monarch] slowly crumbled.
A series of images, like those in a revolving lantern, appeared before Xu Xing. The scenes from the past were simple: just him meditating en route to the Cold Frost Immortal World and studying the Nine Dragons Colored Glaze Cup...
Finally, the scenes shifted, transitioning to a Fate Deduction of the future.
「...」
「...」
In the 31,751st year of the Tiande Era, Xu Xing passed through the Immortal World Gateway and arrived in the Cold Frost Immortal World. There, he reconnected with Shi Yuyan, acknowledging her as kin, and obtained the Rebirth Immortal Array from her to resurrect Zhao Yunniang and Xu Zhang.
「Seven hundred years later.」
After all preparations were complete, Xu Xing leveraged Shi Yuyan's influence from the West Emperor Palace, allied with other minor sects, and established the Changming Immortal Court. He began to absorb Luck and enhance his Human Emperor Dao Fruit.
Concurrently, Xu Xing also began searching for methods to condense the Tribulation Fruit ahead of schedule.
However, it was common knowledge that, compared to condensing the "Luck Fruit," condensing the "Tribulation Fruit" was a laborious method. It relied solely on the passage of endless years to fully cultivate each tribulation; there were no shortcuts. Consequently, despite searching for thousands of years, Xu Xing found nothing.
In the 39,783rd year of the Tiande Era, Xu Xing journeyed to the Cloud Fall Immortal Realm. He secretly ambushed and slew the Chiming Immortal Empress, extracting "Nine Netherwater" from her body. He then used this "Nine Netherwater" to condense an avatar, which served as the foundation to condense the "Tribulation Fruit."
While continuing to condense the "Tribulation Fruit" via the laborious method, Xu Xing did not abandon his search for a faster way to achieve this. He turned his attention to the "Old Gods" who still existed in the various Immortal Worlds. These "Old Gods" were a "legacy" of the Ancient Heavenly Court. He surmised that they might possess some crucial information.
Having learned his lesson from the previous Fate Deduction, Xu Xing showed these "Old Gods" no mercy this time. He directly attacked and killed them, then extracted the god seals from their minds, performing Soul Searching to plunder their memories. Each "Old God" was a vessel for the Ancient Heavenly Court's resurgent power. By eliminating them, Xu Xing could also lessen the pressure he would eventually face when confronting the Ancient Heavenly Court Immortal Emperor.
Over the course of several thousand years, Xu Xing traversed the Cold Frost Immortal World, continuously hunting down these "Old Gods" one after another, prying information from their minds. His understanding of the Ancient Heavenly Court grew ever deeper.
Unfortunately, without a single exception, none of these Old Gods knew a rapid method for condensing the "Tribulation Fruit."
