Destiny is ashes

Chapter 1055 Infinite Possibilities, A Visit to the Ancestral Dragon (Short Chapter)
An Jing stepped forward.

He reached out and his fingertips touched the scale that floated between heaven and earth, shining like the sun throughout the world.

It has no temperature and no physical form.

It was a kind of contact that transcended the five senses and even spiritual perception.

At the moment of contact, An Jing felt an endless stream of light surging towards him.

My soul seemed to be instantly immersed in an endless sea of ​​light and fire, stars and sky.

Then, in that instant.

The world has vanished.

Surrounding Anjing, countless moments have passed, and the years have flowed by.

An Jing saw a phantom.

He saw infinite parallel universes.

Similarly, it was in that very instant.

In this endless interplay of light and shadow, An Jing seemed to see countless glorious achievements and magnificent feats.

Under the dazzling light of the Ancestral Dragon, countless possibilities traversed infinite parallel universes, ultimately transforming into a brilliant sun that illuminated everything, projecting reality—which should not have been seen by any being that had not reached infinity—before the young martial artist's eyes.

The countless evolutionary trajectories rise like shadows, like rivers, and like dreams, surrounding An Jing and flowing into his heart.

Light and shadow flow, and countless possibilities and futures extend and transform.

An Jing saw his infinite possibilities.

There are infinite possibilities, vastly different from his current self, and unbelievable possibilities.

—Some differences lie in their level of understanding.

In one of the possible light and shadows, An Jing saw a more composed version of himself, with a weathered look between his brows.

Instead of going to the Tianyuan Realm, he focused on cultivating, growing, and fighting in the Huaixu Realm. He studied martial arts through endless trials, and although he never comprehended the Cave Heaven Technique, he had already stepped into the Manifestation Saint Realm with his pure martial skills, unwavering will, and a little talent.

In this world, the Nirvana of the Bright Mirror was not perfectly resolved. Many patriarchs and elders perished. Although the Haotian Mirror was not devoured by the Three Lives Mirror, it was not fully restored either. It was entrusted to An Jing's body, traveling the world with him, fighting alongside martial artists, and cultivating.

At this moment, An Jing stood on the battlefield of the Blood Sea Calamity. With the power of the Haotian Mirror Ancestor, he fought to the death with a Blood Sea Spawn at the Heavenly Venerable level. During the battle, he broke through and suddenly comprehended the [Immortal Deeds of Destiny] and the [Immortal Deeds of Spirit], thus achieving the world-renowned Manifestation of the Three Immortal Deeds.

The lone warrior walks through blood and fire, never looking back.

—Some differences lie in understanding.

In another beam of light, An Jing saw a version of himself whose temperament was even closer to that of a grandmaster.

An Jing chose to venture deep into the Great Wilderness Realm with his master, Ming Guangchen. There, they fought side by side against the corrupt Great Yu Dynasty and the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin.

Amidst the complex collision and fusion of cultivation methods across countless realms in the Great Wilderness, he comprehended the [Way of Spirit] from the Great Wilderness's 'Furnace Method'. He then drew upon this knowledge to understand the [Way of Destiny] from the blood of countless true spirits. Furthermore, relying on the true souls of all the true spirits, he thoroughly comprehended the immortal essence of the soul and attained the [Way of Nature].

Although it also lacks the Cave Heaven Technique, Anjing has achieved the unprecedented feat of "Four Immortal Achievements". In this possibility, although the Mingjing Sect was destroyed in the Huaixu Realm, most of its members came to the Great Wilderness Realm for various reasons, and the Second Mingjing Empire is rapidly expanding in the Great Wilderness Realm.

The unparalleled master blazed a path never before trodden, forever moving forward.

—Some differences lie in the way they are passed down.

In another burst of light and shadow, a majestic and serene figure sat in the center of the cave, overlooking the heavens and earth.

Anjing is focused on finding the history of the Dao Court. He uses multi-realm trade as a foundation to sow seeds in the three realms of Tianyuan, Huaixu, and Dahuang, develop his power, and search for various cultivation methods and ancient books.

This choice eventually yielded results. Through continuous development and battles, An Jing gathered the lost Five Emperors' Laws, thus achieving a perfect cycle of the Great Dao. On this basis, he also comprehended a unique Cave Heaven Law through the Ascension Dao.

This Anjing, with himself as the central Yellow Emperor, gave rise to four emperor avatars: Green, Red, White, and Black. The five emperors merged into one, achieving sainthood. Although his immortal career was incomplete, possessing only the "Way of Law," his profound understanding of the laws of heaven and earth and the power of the grotto-heaven law already showed some of the demeanor of the ancient Heavenly Emperor.

The Emperor of Martial Arts took his first step on the Great Dao at this moment, and he never makes a mistake.

Countless possibilities are shining.

Every possibility is shining brightly.

They are all very powerful.

Like a dream, like a river, like a resounding melody, like an endless array of shining stars.

Regardless of the form of peace, the choice made, or the possibility, An Jing's power is undeniable, never questioned, and absolutely and inevitably destined for success. If he were to join the Heavenly Will Demonic Sect, then An Jing would be the Holy Son of Heavenly Will, instigating a massive rebellion that swept across half of the Northern Profound Sacrifice Continent, conquering the Sun, occupying the Heavenly Sea, and the Seven Fiends of Heavenly Will's army would break through the Min Sea, the Western Mountain, the Vast Sea, and the Yan Dao, heading straight for the Divine Capital, intending to burn away all the old guard and forge a new authority.

If he had joined the Great Chen Dynasty, he would now be the General Who Conquers the South, fighting one fierce battle after another against the Demon Kingdom, the Upper Gate, the Heavenly Demons, and the former Ghost Gods in the Great You, Xu Xu, and Hun Ming lands. In the process, he was almost independent, disobeying orders several times, and had the momentum to establish his own independent regime.

If he joined the Shangxuan Sect, he would already be the Shangxuan Holy Son, presiding over a series of plans targeting various Shangmen Heavenly Sects, all for the sake of 'all living beings under heaven'.

Countless possibilities... In each one, Anjing will stir up cause and effect, disrupt the situation, shatter one narrow possibility after another, and move towards a higher level.

but.

But it's not as good as it is now.

It is not as serene and genuine as it is now, not as turbulent and powerful as it is now, not as magnificent and inspiring as it is now, not as dazzling and splendid as it is now.

because,

no doubt.

Right now, An Jing is the strongest, invincible, the only supreme one in countless parallel universes, the top one!
As for those theoretically more perfect ones, such as the Four Immortals' perfected deeds or the Five Emperors' great mastery of the Dharma, Anjing?

Anjing saw it.

Indeed, such a possibility exists.

However, none of them are as good as he is now.

Why not forge him now, with an undying heart and an eternally fighting body!
In those times and spaces, each Anjing did her part to the extreme.

But that is only a partial extreme.

The Four Immortals' Creed lacks the Grotto Heaven Method and the Five Emperors' Method, and the Five Emperors' Method lacks the Four Immortals' Creed. Having realms doesn't provide a perfect foundation... In short, none of them are balanced or complete enough.

Only now, with the Three Immortals' Karma combined with the Taiyin and Taiyang Wuji Simulation, and the Three Paths simultaneously proving him to be a True Person, the Grotto Heaven Method is complete, and the Five Emperors' Method is merely a matter of 'whether or not to take it'.

Not to mention the [Eternal Battle Body], which was forged through a desperate battle with all the geniuses of the past and present, and a theoretical defeat, by forcibly reversing life and death with pure martial arts will!
This is a direct manifestation of Anjing's fighting spirit and the fruits of his practice; it is the supreme path that cannot be attained through any methodical cultivation.

Right now, incomparable, in countless parallel universes, the most powerful An Jing is the current An Jing!
As expected of you.

As all the illusions receded like the tide, a vast and resounding voice echoed in An Jing's heart.

You are so powerful, incredible. I've seen many An Jings, but you are truly one of a kind.

Is it because of the subduing of evil spirits? But your subduing of evil spirits isn't unique; it's truly unbelievable.

"Oh?"

An Jing snapped out of his reverie about the infinite possibilities, looked up at the source of the voice, and said thoughtfully, "Isn't Fu Xie the only one?"

【Yes. 】

Where the sound rang out, light and shadow converged.

There is a dragon there.

A dragon shrouded in endless radiance, its specific details obscured.

His form is constantly changing and shifting, flowing through endless different times, without a fixed shape, stretching like a river of time, growing like the tree of all things.

An endless dragon.

At this moment, He is bowing His head and smiling at Anjing.

【Fu Xie, my comrade-in-arms. You have arrived here once again, and time again, countless times.】

But this time, I believe it's different.

In those ancient dragon eyes, the scene of chaos being created and all things being born seemed to be reflected. His voice carried a hint of relief and an unprecedented expectation: "Because of him, there is this... unprecedented 'peace'."

Perhaps, he is simply a different outcome born from the chaos after countless cycles of waiting...

Different Possibilities

[The Impossible Possible]
