He was invincible from the beginning of the Heaven-Covering Era.

"I want you to enter a small outpost in hell, then find the important locations of the two great dynasties, and finally find your way into the ancient temple."

That day, he was completely silent. He saw the reluctance in his father's eyes, but he also saw the determination in his father's eyes.

He knew why; after the destruction of the Heavenly Court, only two or three people escaped the calamity and managed to pass down part of the inheritance.

Our predecessors had been weak for a long time, and despite their best efforts, they could only find one or two small strongholds.

However, the hatred for the two great killer dynasties was passed down from generation to generation. The hatred accumulated and became increasingly uncontrollable. His father, as the leader of the Heavenly Court in this generation, was deeply affected by it.

He had five older brothers, but they all disappeared one by one when they reached the appropriate age. Now, it's finally his turn.

In the end, he nodded in agreement with his father's decision.

He has never smiled since then.

To prove one's path through killing is not something that can be achieved through seclusion and meditation alone; it requires a path of cultivation that involves large-scale killing.

Even in the Heavenly Court, one must go through real bloodshed to embark on the path of proving one's Dao through killing. However, their killing focuses more on quality, primarily targeting the powerful.

The Assassin Dynasty, which is named after hell, requires a great deal of killing in its cultivation, and the simplest way to do this is to massacre an entire city!

The Eastern Wilderness is home to countless mortal kingdoms. Occasionally, within a small kingdom, a mortal city...

Disappearance will not cause any ripples at all.

No one in the major holy lands and aristocratic families cares about the life or death of mortals, especially those small countries outside their controlled territories. Sometimes, even if an entire mortal country were to perish, they wouldn't know immediately.

In order to train their disciples, the Assassin Dynasty would occasionally seal off a mortal city, leaving hundreds of thousands of mortals to slaughter at will, turning a vibrant city into a living hell.

Over the past two thousand years, he has personally slaughtered countless lives, and the terrifying killing intent emanating from his body is proof of that.

Whether it was him or the others in hell, their killing intent far exceeded that of ordinary people; each of them had emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

"It seems I might really be venturing into the ancient halls of hell this time. I wonder how my seventh brother is doing. I hope he hasn't encountered any danger," Qi Li sighed inwardly.

Although he infiltrated Hell, he would sometimes find an opportunity to meet with his father and pass on messages when he went out on missions.

Not long after he entered Hell, his seventh brother was also sent to a base in the human world.

Over the past two thousand years, his five older brothers have died one after another. Now, only he and his seventh brother remain. One is in hell, and the other is in the human world. Both have cultivated themselves into great powers and have a certain status in the two assassin dynasties. They have discovered many strongholds and the coordinates of some small worlds.

However, the location of the ancient hall has always been a closely guarded secret. For over two thousand years, the ancient hall has been the one actively contacting the smaller worlds below, and the smaller worlds have no idea where the ancient hall is located.

But now, for reasons unknown, the ancient temple is summoning waves of assassins. This is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity, the best chance to discover the location of the ancient temple.

"Even if it means death, I will enter it and pass on the location of that ancient hall of hell to my father!"

At this moment, in the Zhou family compound, Ye Fan and others sat in an open space, listening to Zhou Qing preach.

It seemed as if lines were intertwining between heaven and earth, and different rules were transformed into order, giving rise to inexplicable power and constructing various patterns in the void.

Between heaven and earth, divine light filled the sky, dragons and phoenixes danced, the Black Tortoise exhaled auspicious omens, and the Qilin trod the heavens. Golden lotuses descended from the void, and all things grew, full of vitality.

Numerous strange phenomena appeared, falling like snowflakes across the sky, while the wondrous sounds of the Great Dao resounded, as if chanting a sacred song of heaven and earth, echoing in the hearts of all.

After a long time, Zhou Qing had long since stopped preaching, but Ye Fan and the others were still in a daze, immersed in the Great Dao.

They weren't cultivating; it was an impact of a "great force," like the Milky Way pouring down from the heavens into their hearts, so powerful that Ye Fan and the others immediately gained a general understanding of cultivation.

Originally, this task should have been done by the elders of the Zhou family, but Zhou Qing took the initiative to take on the task of preaching.

The previous month, the elders of the Zhou family changed Ye Fan and the others' perspectives, teaching them the language and common sense of this world, so that they could have a basic understanding of it.

This past month has been a time for Zhou Qing to cultivate the Dao for them, allowing the power of the Dao to impact their minds, enabling them to experience the vastness of the Great Dao and gain an initial understanding of the cultivation process.

.

After a month, Ye Fan and the others gradually gained a deeper understanding of cultivation and a more profound appreciation of the cultivation experiences and insights shared by the Zhou family elders. They were now ready to truly embark on their cultivation journey.

Perhaps in Lingxu Cave Heaven, it would take them four months to barely begin cultivating, but in the Zhou family, this training program, with its lectures by elders from the Sendai Secret Realm, is far superior to that of Lingxu Cave Heaven. The results in two months are greater than the gains of a small sect in a year.

It can be said that by this point, this group of people already had a foundation in cultivation, and their cultivation would proceed smoothly, with many problems in cultivation being resolved on their own.

"Such luck is truly defying the heavens." Zhou Qing looked at Ye Fan, who was still in a daze, and briefly deduced his luck.

In an instant, that overwhelming fortune surged forth like a vast ocean; if an ordinary person were to feel it even slightly, they would feel suffocated.

"This carries the vast majority of the fortune of an entire ancient star within him."

Zhou Qing did a quick calculation and immediately came to the answer.

Beyond the starry sky, that planet is an ancient star with a destiny not much weaker than the Big Dipper.

There's no need to elaborate on the glory of the past; the ancient war scenes of Yinghuo have already revealed a part of its power. Even in the present world, where more than 90% of the area is sealed, the powerhouses of that ancient star are terrifying to the extreme.

A quasi-emperor, several great saints, and various other ordinary saints were all powerful figures within the past ten thousand years, demonstrating just how extraordinary that ancient star was.

In Zhou Qing's perception, the vast majority of the fortune of that ancient star was on Ye Fan, with only a very small portion falling elsewhere, transforming into the Heavenly Demon Body, and other geniuses who did not have special physiques but were just better at cultivation.

"This is truly extraordinary. If he were to go out and take a walk, all sorts of imperial scriptures and demon emperor's hearts would obediently fall into his hands. No one else would even have the right to compete for them," Zhou Qing exclaimed.

Once such fortune collided with the fortune of the Big Dipper, it would instantly cause a huge upheaval. This fortune was like a hot pot, and when it collided with such fortune, it would instantly boil over, causing violent fluctuations and all sorts of reactions.

At that time, the rise and fall of fortune will change drastically in a short period of time, unlike the calm of the past many years. In the collision between fortunes, countless fortunes will decline and completely dissipate.

"What is the fortune of a region? Faced with such overwhelming fortune, one will still suffer setbacks everywhere. The level of cultivation is of no use whatsoever."

As Zhou Qing was reflecting on this, something suddenly occurred to him.

"Huh? What am I doing now? Am I preaching to them?" Zhou Qing discovered the blind spot.

"Could it be that I've become a part of his destiny too?"

The more he thought about it, the more sense it made, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

"Luck, luck, it is such a wonderful thing. It is invisible and intangible in this world, but it exists everywhere. Everyone lives in such a net."

A moment later, Ye Fan and the others woke up.

Zhou Qing then got down to business, his expression solemn, and said, "I have seen your progress over the past month. You are now qualified to cultivate. The next lecture will be on the formal methods of cultivation."

"Really?" Some of the male students were overjoyed, their faces beaming with smiles.

Zhou Yi, Wang Ziwen, Lin Jia and others were also very excited. They had studied hard for so long, wasn't this the day they were all waiting for?

"Ye Fan, come with me." Zhou Qing said.

A moment later, Zhou Qing returned to his island, accompanied by Ye Fan, who was now just an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.

Zhou Qing took out a futon and had Ye Fan sit in front of him.

He took out three books and said, "I have three cultivation methods here. Choose one and see which one you want to study."

In front of him floated three books filled with Daoist principles, like black holes, brimming with the power to devour.

The first book is titled "The Undying Heavenly Technique".

The second book is titled "The Undying Heavenly Technique".

The third book is still titled "The Undying Heavenly Technique".

Ye Fan stared at the three books, momentarily dumbfounded.

Chapter 139: Choosing the "Undying Heavenly Technique"

"What's the difference between these three books?" Ye Fan thought for a while, but still couldn't help asking.

Perhaps these are just three books that look the same on the surface, but are actually not the same?

Otherwise, why not just take out one book? Why bring out three and make him choose? The Zhou family should be explaining which scripture to him so he can just start cultivating. Now he has to choose.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I know what you're thinking, but I can tell you, they are indeed exactly the same."

Ye Fan was very puzzled and asked, "Why is the God Lord doing this?"

According to the elders of the Zhou family, the deity is not someone who likes to play tricks on others and would not do such a thing.

At this moment, Zhou Qing's expression turned serious, and he said, "Take another look. Are they still the Undying Heavenly Art?"

Ye Fan looked over and was immediately shocked; his expression changed.

At this moment, when he looked over again, what he saw before him were no longer three books of the Undying Heavenly Art, but clearly three mysterious and unfathomable seeds!

It is neither round nor flat, and its body displays changes such as flames, water flow, and whirlwind.

This is not scripture at all!

However, when he first looked at them, they had transformed into three scriptures for spiritual practice.

"What's going on?" Ye Fan didn't understand the situation and didn't know what had happened, so he had to ask Zhou Qing.

"No rush, take another look."

Zhou Qing did not explain immediately, but silently activated the three seeds.

When Ye Fan looked again, three more books appeared in front of him.

These three books were exactly the same, with the four large characters "Devouring Heaven Demon Art" written on them, resembling coiled dragons.

Before he could ask, it changed to many different scriptures such as the "Western Emperor Scripture", "Chaotic Ancient Scripture", and "Supreme Yang Scripture".

In the blink of an eye, the three seeds changed through more than a dozen scriptures, but finally settled on the "Undying Heavenly Technique".

“It seems this book is the one you’re most destined for,” Zhou Qing said, his gaze deep and thoughtful.

This "fate" is not an excuse, but a real "fate".

Fate, in essence, is a manifestation of the entanglement of cause and effect.

Cause and effect is a profound and hidden principle in this world. The world is almost entangled with cause and effect, especially the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, which involves unimaginable causes and effects. It is the deepest and most troublesome cause and effect in this world.

Destiny contains cause and effect. The entanglement of cause and effect is part of the entanglement of destiny.

Therefore, when Zhou Qing uses the Great Dao of Destiny at this moment, the profound mystery of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect can also be revealed.

"So, am I to practice this scripture?" Ye Fan asked curiously.

He didn't know what it meant, nor did he understand how powerful this scripture was.

But these three seeds changed so many times in front of him, and in the end they still returned to the original form. Doesn't this mean that he should practice this scripture?

Zhou Qing looked at Ye Fan with a deep gaze and said, "Whether you cultivate or not is up to you."

This time, he was just conducting a small experiment in transmitting the Dharma.

The experiment was simple: it involved using the three seeds he had condensed from the Great Dao of Destiny, and connecting them with Ye Fan's Thread of Destiny.
