Mysterious mirror hanging high

"If we could know who the Daozun's reincarnation is, even our Buddhist sect would open the door to convenience. However, the Daozun of Samsara is close friends with another Daozun named [Yinwei]. With the Daozun Yinwei covering up for him, let alone figures of the same level as the Daojun and Buddha, even the Daozun and the World Venerable of the same level would be unable to track him down."

"After all, Dao Zun Yinwei is a person who can even 'hide' the inner thoughts of others."

"The only people in the universe who know the specific identity of the reincarnated body of the Samsara Daoist Master are probably the Daoists with whom he has such a close relationship that they are almost as close as wearing the same pants."

Pudu Buddha suddenly sighed, "But even if we knew, it would be useless. No Dao Zun in the world can be created by relying on resources and connections. Even if a Dao Zun wanted to cultivate another Dao Zun, that would be a fantasy. At most, he could guide and promote one or two."

"Otherwise, why would we be so supportive of the younger generation? Wouldn't it be better to achieve enlightenment and overcome the tribulation on your own?"

"After all, who among those who were able to attain Daojun status within a single era wasn't a brilliant and gifted individual with great luck and extraordinary talent? Who didn't have the ambition to further attain the status of a Venerable from the very beginning?"

"But as epochs passed, I witnessed the terrifying scenes of the heavens and earth being annihilated and all things returning to the abyss at the end of each epoch. My own cultivation realm stopped advancing, and I could no longer see the way forward. In the end, I could only live under the protection of others and survive in a miserable way. Even the highest aspirations I had were completely worn away."

"So, when disaster strikes, the hero loses his courage..."

"You've become a rat!"

When the Buddha of Universal Deliverance said this, his usual warm and gentle demeanor had long since disappeared, and he almost looked as if he was gritting his teeth.

After a long time, this Buddha, who was ranked as a high-ranking figure in the Buddhist community, finally stopped showing such a terrifying expression and regained his composure, but he still had a somewhat lowered look and smiled bitterly:

"However, there are also Dao Masters who achieved great success late in life. For example, Dao Master Gan Qi, who had a good relationship with Dao Master Changqing, cultivated to the Dao Lord realm and was protected by Dao Master Changqing for a full five epochs before he forged a new path and achieved Dao Master status."

"Back then, he sacrificed his own cultivation and burned his boats to create the realm of [Qi Training]. Starting from scratch, he taught this adult a new path. Often, old Taoist masters who have experienced several or even dozens of epochs take [Qi Gan Dao Zun] as an example. It can also be considered a thought."

"However, before Gan Qi Dao Zun, there were countless geniuses, but no one had thought of forcing a new realm into the already extremely complete [Foundation Building Pill] system. Such an original idea is only worthy of being certified as a master!"

"Later on, there were some who imitated the old ways, such as inserting [Fetal Breathing] before the Qi Training Stage, and [Purple Palace] after the Foundation Establishment Stage... but they all ended in failure and were nothing but laughable."

"Stop talking about this."

Buddha Pudu laughed and said, "Third Prince, meeting is destiny. Since I have encountered you, I will establish a good relationship with you here. If you become a Dao Lord in the future, you may even have the opportunity to glimpse the realm of Dao Zun. Don't forget me."

"Does your Highness have anything else to ask?"

"Buddha, you are too kind."

Jing Yu clasped his hands together and said, "I do have a few doubts. I wonder what the Buddha thinks about [Fate]?"

Buddha Pudu pondered for a moment and replied, "This [Fate] is a new thing that has appeared within the past ten epochs. As for how it came into being, I don't know. I'm afraid only the masters at the level of Dao Zun know about it."

"To put it bluntly, it can actually be considered an innate divine power, but it is somewhat different because these fates carry a certain degree of [fate], which can more or less affect the life trajectory of the cultivator, but it is not absolute."

"I'm not too sure about the Taoist side, but among my Zen Buddhism, there are quite a few Buddhas who want to try to follow the path of fate and karma to see if they can achieve enlightenment. But to be honest, after working hard for several epochs, I still haven't figured out a proper way. I'm afraid it won't work."

"Many immortals below the Dao Lord have studied this Dao, but none have even achieved Dao Lord status. This shows that either the path is a narrow and difficult one, causing countless geniuses to die here over the ages... or it is simply a dead end, completely inaccessible."

"Since the Third Prince has the destiny of [Longevity], he can try to pursue the paths of [Longevity Equal to Heaven and Earth], [Immortality of the Physical Body], [Nirvana Rebirth], [Eternal Spirit], and [Enlightenment of the Mind and Nature]. At the very least, achieving Golden Immortal status is a sure thing. Then, he can seek out the experiences of His Highnesses Wanshou and Jiuming in achieving Dao Fruition and see if they can share some of the Dao Lord opportunities."

"After all, the Dao Lord is not as good as the Dao Master, and does not possess [uniqueness]. The Dao Lord's Dao Fruits can be learned from others. At most, it is just because this path has been trodden by predecessors. If you follow it again, you will fall into a rut and inevitably be inferior to others. But at least by following the Dao Master, you can survive for a few epochs."

"Of course, taking someone else's Dao Fruit to observe, such a thing, if it weren't for the friendship of the end of the era and the shared fate, how could anyone be willing to do it?"

Jing Yu nodded silently and said:

"Buddha Lord, I once encountered a family in this world. Many of the direct descendants of the family were born with fate. Is this due to the fate of the younger generation?"

Buddha Pudu smiled and said, "That may not be the case. Although divine-grade destiny is rare, it does not actively promote destiny. It should be more of an attraction."

"True life-promoting fate often occurs within bloodlines. Either an ancestor of this family reaches a higher realm and returns the favor to the lower realm; or an ancestor with a fate-promoting fate fails to reach a higher realm and dies. Both are possible."

"What's your family name?"

"My surname is Yuwen." Jing Yu replied.

"Oh, then I understand."

Buddha Pudu pondered for a moment, "In the past thousand years, there has indeed been a talented person in the Immortal Realm with the surname Yuwen who has reached the True Immortal Realm. He is considered a rare rising star. Many people believe that he has the potential to become a Golden Immortal. His name is Yuwen Tianfu. I wonder if he ascended to this realm from this world."

"Although I did give him some opportunities, that was after he ascended to the immortal realm. I haven't really seen much about his background."

"Thank you, Buddha, for clearing up my doubts."

Jing Yu bowed and asked a few more questions, but was stopped by Pudu Buddha with a wave of his sleeves:

"Well, the gap between the immortal world and the lower world is huge, and my distracted spirit can't last for too long. Those few questions just now are nothing. I still need to give you another chance."

After saying this, Buddha Pudu snapped his fingers, and a secret method was transmitted into Jing Yu's sea of ​​consciousness:

"[Dust Covering Method]."

"This is……"

Buddha Pudu smiled and said, "I think the reason why a person as thoughtful as Jiu Ming didn't give you the secret method to conceal your fate is probably because he was worried that someone with ulterior motives would calculate your existence by following this line of cause and effect."

"Come to think of it. If it were just another technique, it would be fine. But the causal thread of [the Nine-Life Taoist Master passed down a secret method to conceal one's fate] is not difficult to follow. Even if there is no direct contact, the mere fact of leaving behind a legacy is a bit too suspicious. After all, what kind of fate requires a secret method to conceal it? It's easy to guess."
