Mysterious mirror hanging high

"Perhaps for practitioners, emotions like [compassion] might actually be the inner demons that hinder their practice..."

Although Jing Yu thought so in his heart, he had never felt such indifference when he saw Jiu Ming Dao Jun, who had the same fate as [Longevity]. In comparison, this great man who stood at the top of the myriad worlds except Dao Zun was more human than Jin Dan Zhenren and Yuan Ying Zhenjun in the lower world!

It seems that it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad emotions in people's hearts. Whether it is indifference, compassion, or even a detached mentality... it is just a personal choice, but at least Jing Yu does not like this pure detachment now. It makes him feel that he is no longer like a [human].

He could have just stood by and watched Shi Quanzi kill Qian Wu's entire family, because that was their original fate... but Jing Yu still saved them all, which was a manifestation of following his heart.

As Qian Wu said, it's just a piece of cake.

Besides, Qian Wu helped him perfect his skills, which had contributed to his enlightenment to some extent. Saving his family was also a way of repaying the favor.

But Jing Yu will not become the "Timely Rain" who is dedicated to upholding the righteousness of Xianzhou... This is also inconsistent with his original intention. His current state is just right, which can be said to be just right.

The influence of the [Longevity and Long Vision] fate has subtly changed Jing Yu, but the ability of self-reflection and seeing one's true nature brought by [Long Vision] allows Jing Yu to easily perceive this subtle change at all times. This feeling is very wonderful, as if analyzing every wrinkle in the ups and downs of his emotions from a microscopic perspective around the clock.

"Master!"

"grown ups!"

A young man with a black cloth wrapped around his eyes and a sword on his back stood in front of the mountain gate, his figure as strong as a stubborn mountain pine. Behind him followed a burly golden-haired demon ape, holding an iron rod in his hand and nodding and bowing in the direction of Jing Yu.

Jing Yu, who had originally looked indifferent, couldn't help but smile. He waved at Guan Lingxiao and Zhao Yuankong.

"How can you, one man and one demon, be guarding the mountain gate?"

Guan Lingxiao smiled and said, "The token Master gave me has produced some reaction, and the Great Void is vibrating here, so I guessed that Master has returned to the mountain... I guess his magical power has reached perfection!"

"It's just a lucky breakthrough." Jing Yu smiled implicitly.

During these hundred years, he erected a statue in the mortal world, observing the fate of ordinary people, causing Jing Yu's fate to advance by leaps and bounds. After a hundred years of refinement, he finally achieved something... Based on the practice framework of [Questioning the Mirror to Observe Fate], he created a magical power of the Nascent Soul level...

This magical power is somewhat similar to the technique of enfeoffment that Xiao Guanying used back then, but it does not grant the recipient the magical power and status of the caster... but rather [borrows life].

When there is a slight change in the fate of the recipient, Jing Yu can try to influence the other party's destiny and temporarily lend him a [Xuan Mingzhu] to bless him.

However, this magical power is just in its infancy now, and the duration of [borrowing life] is not long, probably only between half an hour and one hour.

And only [Ordinary] and [Fine] level Xuanxuan Life Pearls can be lent out.

For example, the life bead that Jing Yu bestowed on Qian Wu before was an ordinary fate [seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster], which could slightly increase the luck of the owner of the fate and avoid some low-level fatal disasters.

The exquisite destiny [Bronze Skin and Iron Bones], however, ignores the realm and forcibly solidifies the physical body of the person who possesses it to the level of body refining and foundation building. This is also the confidence that Qian Wu, an ordinary person, can defeat Shi Quanzi, a Qi training cultivator.

Jing Yu called this magical power——

[Blessings from the Lord Xuan].

[Xuanjun Blessing] can temporarily grant the recipient a destiny. This magical power sounds extremely incredible. Jing Yu has thought about a problem -

Since those with destiny must have spiritual roots, if we temporarily [bless] those who do not have spiritual roots, wouldn’t it allow them to temporarily possess spiritual roots?

But what disappointed Jing Yu was that after he [blessed] a mortal without spiritual roots, no spiritual roots grew in the other person, and he was unable to draw energy into his body and become a cultivator. It seems that the relationship between [fate] and [spiritual roots] is not as simple as he thought. At least this temporary bestowal of fate cannot produce the effect of spiritual roots growing on their own.

Otherwise, if this divine power could allow any mortal to draw Qi into their bodies, wouldn't that mean everyone could practice cultivation? Xiao Guanying's vision of an era where everyone is as powerful as a dragon might have been realized prematurely by Jing Yu...

"Ling Xiao, your master has been concentrating on cultivating his magical powers these past few years. You and I haven't seen each other for over ten years... I never thought that when we meet again, your cultivation has already reached the perfection of the Golden Core!"

Jing Yu teased, "At this rate, if you were to condense your Nascent Soul before me, I, as your master, would be somewhat embarrassed."

He was secretly astonished in his heart: "The characteristic of [Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky] fate that ignores the bottlenecks of small realms is really not exaggerated. Ling Xiao is not even two hundred years old now, but he is already in a state where he can form a fetus at any time!"

Guan Lingxiao shook his head upon hearing this: "Master, you are too kind. It is easy to form a Nascent Soul, but it is extremely difficult to condense a Nine-Aperture Nascent Soul!"

"Although Ling Xiao's Dantian power has reached its limit, he still feels that his foundation is somewhat lacking. Regarding [Infant's Nine Apertures]... he's not completely confident."

"Besides, in eight years, the Penglai Gathering will be held... Only Jindan cultivators are qualified to enter the Xuanyuan Yuhua Heaven, and I don't want to miss this opportunity."

"That's right... [Xuanyuan Yuhuatian] should indeed go there." Seeing that his disciple had a very steady plan for his future path and was not eager for quick success because of the hatred of his family being destroyed, Jing Yu nodded with satisfaction and turned to look at Zhao Yuankong:

"You, the monkey, have now completed your foundation building! When do you plan to form your elixir?"

Zhao Yuankong bowed and said with a smile: "It is thanks to your cultivation and support over the years that I have achieved what I have today..."

"However, my aptitude is not good. When I was building my foundation, although I used the secret method of [Burning Gold and Tempering Jade in Fire] to purify my bloodline and improve my aptitude a lot...but after all, my foundation is too poor. If I were to form a golden elixir now, I'm afraid it would only be a low-grade golden elixir at best. There is no hope for the subsequent path."

"The demon race has a long lifespan, and I'm still a long way from the end of my lifespan, so I thought I'd polish it off a little longer and look for an opportunity that suits my race, to see if I can get a mid-grade or high-grade golden elixir!"

Jing Yu praised him, "It's rare that you have such a heart. After I condense my Nascent Soul and ascend to the rank of True Lord, I'll be free... and I'll help you keep an eye out for opportunities with the demon ape tribe."

"What does Master mean?" Guan Lingxiao looked delighted and asked quickly.

Jing Yu smiled faintly and said slowly, "Ling Xiao, go inform the several True Lords in the sect now and tell them that the Xuan Jing's divination today is extremely auspicious!"

"It is suitable to form a Yuanying."
