Mysterious mirror hanging high

"Fate is mysterious, everything is possible."

Jing Yu chuckled, and he tapped his brows with his fingertips. The billions of threads of cause and effect suddenly began to vibrate violently.

What's creepy is that the rhythm of all the silk threads vibrating is exactly the same - as if an invisible hand is plucking the strings of the fate of all living beings.

The next moment, the strange phenomena in the sky suddenly collapsed.

All the threads of cause and effect turned into streams of light and sank into Jing Yu's last acupoint, where they condensed into a hazy vortex of gray mist.

In the center of the vortex, one can vaguely see a broken mirror floating up and down. Every time the mirror rotates, it will draw new trajectories of destiny in the void - and these trajectories will immediately be covered and erased by the trajectories produced by the new rotation.

When the last wisp of gray fog gathered into the acupoints, a light drizzle suddenly fell over the entire Tianxu Island.

Countless possible lives of countless people are reflected in the raindrops - but all the raindrops disappear before hitting the ground, as if to indicate that fate is impermanent and unpredictable.

Lu Yingzhao murmured, "Is this fate? It's truly miraculous..."

Just when she thought that Jing Yu's transformation into a god was a done deal, the [Law of Life] that Jing Yu had refined into his acupoints suddenly fluctuated violently.

There are nine laws in total, including [Five Elements], [Yin and Yang], and [Time and Space]. The nine laws vortexes form a highly cohesive whole, collectively pressing towards the [Law of Life]!

Each law is of extremely high status. They will never allow an incomplete law that has just taken shape to be placed in a high position and suppress them!

boom--

When the nine vortexes of laws came crushing towards the gray fog with the force of destroying the world, the gray fog symbolizing the [Law of Life] suddenly dissipated silently like morning dew meeting the sun.

But just when everyone thought the outcome was decided, strange ripples suddenly appeared in Jing Yu's body.

The sharp edge of the golden vortex was quietly covered with lines of fate, just like the copper rust of destiny on an ancient sword.

Gray lines flow through the veins of the young buds of the wood, as if each texture records a branch of fate.

The waves of water reflected countless shadows, and each crest of the wave represented Jing Yu's different life trajectories.

The most amazing thing is the yin and yang pupils. A destiny compass appears in the black jade of the left eye, and a picture of cause and effect is condensed in the white crystal of the right eye.

Even the long river of time and space hanging high above the acupoint was now covered with dense numerology seal characters on its riverbed, like countless ouroboros with their heads and tails connected.

Jing Yu observed the drastic changes within his body and discovered that the gray mist was not defeated, but transformed into an existence more fundamental than the laws.

They become the [background color] of the acupoints, like the night sky that carries the stars, like the soil that nurtures all things.

The nine laws are still operating independently, but they are inevitably tainted with the breath of fate, just like fish cannot live without water.

When the Yin-Yang fish swam again, the tail fin no longer drew simple Taoist rhythms, but mysterious ripples with a destined trajectory.

As the long river of time and space rushes forward, each wave blooms with different possibilities of destiny.

These changes are not forced, but as natural as breathing - because the law of fate is no longer a specific "king", but has become the background on which all laws depend for their existence.

"Everything follows its destiny. It does not take over the main role, yet it is everywhere..." Jing Yu chuckled.

At this moment, the ten major laws all returned to their positions, his magic power and true essence began to transform rapidly, and the aura of the laws appeared, and it seemed that he was only one step away from divine enlightenment.

If it were someone else, this moment would be considered a successful transformation into a god, but for Jing Yu, this is the most dangerous step in the transformation process!

——He was still not sure whether the [Questioning the Mirror to Observe Fate Method: The Chapter of Transformation of the Spirit] that he had created after hundreds of years of research could be put into practice!

Jing Yu closed his eyes slightly, his mind surging like a tide, and he began to follow the exercise route of [Questioning the Mirror to Observe Fate Method: Chapter on Spiritual Transformation] to stimulate the formation of a new seal of magical power in his body.

The nine vortexes of laws within the acupoint vibrated at the same time, interweaving mysterious trajectories on the gray fog background of the law of life.

As the technique was working, the shadow of an ancient precious mirror slowly condensed in the center of the dantian. It was Jing Yu's innate magical power [Xuanjing].

The mirror surface was initially as clear as autumn water, on which four white seal characters [Prolong life] slowly emerged.

Suddenly, ripples appeared in the mirror, and a black gas seeped out from the edge of the mirror -

This wisp of black air wrapped around the mirror like a living thing, and the glow of the fate faded wherever it passed.

The white fate grid in the mirror that originally represented [longevity] suddenly twisted and deformed, turning into hideous black seal characters.

A brand new dark destiny slowly took shape in the mirror—

[Tianshou has a loss]!

The moment this new destiny took shape, Jing Yu immediately understood its specific function:

"[Life Span Shortage]... The holder of this fate will have their life span reduced by thirty years unconditionally!"

The new seal of magical power was completely formed, which meant that Jing Yu's divine transformation technique did not have any major problems and at least it could be put into operation.

Corresponding to the Nascent Soul Stage [Xuanjun Blessing], he named this new magical power as—

[Lord Xuan brings disaster]!

At this point, this magical power was still in its infancy, and could only reverse and transform some ordinary white fates, turning their original positive effects into negative ones. It also granted the target a [Life Pearl], but this time...

Jing Yu rubbed his fingers together, pinching a pitch-black life bead between his fingers. He looked around for a long time and found that most of the people who came to watch his transformation into a god this time were his good friends, so it was really difficult to find people to experiment with.

There were a few lower-level cultivators who had indirect grudges against him and hid their emotions, thinking that they were doing everything perfectly, but the dark red causal line between the two of them had already betrayed everything.

However, most of these lower-level cultivators were small characters who were practicing Qi and building their foundations, and there wasn't even a Jindan Zhenren. Jing Yu was too lazy to bother with them. With a flip of his hand, the black life bead disappeared.

Feeling the surging divine essence within his body, Jing Yu muttered to himself, "Is it over?"

He stood up, but suddenly found that the spiritual cloud above his head began to slowly accumulate thunder, as if a thunderbolt would fall at any time!

"I knew it...you wouldn't let me go so easily!"

For some reason, when Jing Yu saw the thunder brewing above his head, he did not show any panic or anger. Instead, he felt a little proud and excited.

"Since Fellow Daoist Lu was able to draw down the tribulation thunder during his transformation into a spirit, my achievement of enlightenment through the [Law of Fate] is also quite groundbreaking, so naturally I am also qualified to experience the tribulation!"

"Look! It's a thunder tribulation! Xuan Jing Hua Shen also has a thunder tribulation!"

Ye Xingyun was a little depressed: "There was a thunder tribulation when Big Sister became a spirit, and there was also a thunder tribulation when Xuan Jing became a spirit. Sigh... am I still one step behind after all?"

At this moment, Lu Yingzhao was not too worried that Jing Yu would be killed by the thunder. After all, Jing Yu's physical body had reached the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. In fact, because the "Bitter Crossing Sutra" was a Taoist-level skill, his physical strength was even close to that of a late-stage Spirit Transformation Body Refiner.

At this moment, the calamity clouds in the sky had finally brewed. With a loud "boom", a bolt of lightning struck Jing Yu's crown with pinpoint accuracy.

"It's just right to use the tribulation thunder to temper my body..." Jing Yu was just about to withstand the thunder, but when the thunder actually approached him, his expression became strange, and he sensed something was wrong.

"Wait... How come this tribulation lightning isn't destructive at all? Instead, it contains endless vitality?"
