Mysterious mirror hanging high

"My Lord Immortal, this person, this person's fate..." Cang Ming stuttered.

The Water Virtue Immortal Lord glanced at the dull-eyed soul spirit indifferently, stretched out his palm, and immediately sucked the spirit into his palm, wrapped it with a bubble, and said softly:

"The immortal selection continues. The other nine will reincarnate normally in the lower world. I will make arrangements for this spirit."

Then he flicked his sleeves, and it turned into a puddle of water and disappeared.

----

The Shuide Immortal Lord held a bubble in his hand and traveled through the endless void. He soon landed in front of a magnificent group of immortal palaces. Above the gate, the four large characters "Five Elements Immortal Court" were clearly engraved.

The gate was guarded by two immortals wearing armor and holding spears. When they saw the Immortal Lord of Water Virtue, they did not dare to neglect him and quickly saluted and said:

"Greetings to His Highness Shuide..."

The Water Virtue Immortal Lord asked, "Is the Master here?"

There was only one person who could be called "Sir" in the Five Elements Immortal Court. The two immortals guarding the gate naturally knew who the Water Virtue Immortal Lord was asking about, and said respectfully:

"My Lord is playing chess with the Yin-Yang Demon Lord at the Yunhai Pavilion..."

The Water Virtue Immortal Lord's expression changed, and he nodded slightly: "I understand."

Immediately, he passed the gate of the Immortal Court and flew towards the [Yunhai Pavilion].

But in an instant, the Water Virtue Immortal Lord had already descended above a constantly rolling sea of ​​clouds. In the center of the sea of ​​clouds was a small pavilion, where two people were playing chess intently.

The man on the left has a very kind face, with a golden and wood glow in his left eye, and a water and fire glow in his right eye, with a dark yellow earth pattern faintly visible between his eyebrows.

His hair was tied up high and fixed with a five-colored jade hairpin. His long hair fell like a waterfall, and the ends of his hair gradually turned into a mixture of light gold, dark green, dark black, scarlet red, and brown and yellow.

But the person on the right had a strange appearance, with half face of man and half of woman. He was wearing a Tai Chi Taoist robe, and two yin and yang fish kept flowing. Shuide Immortal Lord felt dizzy after just one look, and quickly lowered his head and frowned, not daring to look again.

"Shui De greets Master, and greets Master Yin Yang..."

The Water Virtue Immortal Lord did not dare to be negligent and bowed with her skirt lowered... The two people in front of her were at the top of the heavens and myriad worlds.

The middle-aged man with a very kind face saw the Water Virtue Immortal Lord, holding a chess piece in his hand, squinting his eyes and smiling:

"So it's Shuide who's here. You came here in person, so it seems you have something important to report?"

"Yin Yang, I have official business to attend to. This game of chess may as well be put on hold until I am done with my business."

The half-man, half-woman being sneered at the words:

"Wu Xing, if you want to retract your move, just do it. Why do you have to resort to such tricks?"

The Five Elements Immortal Lord smiled slightly, not bothering with the Yin-Yang Demon Lord who was as famous as himself. He turned to the Water Virtue Immortal Lord and said with a pleasant face:

"Shui De, what's the matter?"

The Water Virtue Immortal Lord released the spirit from the bubble in his palm and placed it in front of the Five Elements Immortal Lord and the Yin-Yang Demon Lord, whispering:

"Something went wrong at the Immortal Selection Hall... They actually detected a spirit with a black fate!"

Upon hearing this, the Five Elements Immortal Lord and the Yin-Yang Demon Lord looked at the spirit with the fate of [Dull Talent], then looked at each other and said in unison:

"Has anyone completed the [Great Way of Life]?"

"who is it?"

The Yin Yang Demon Lord showed an interested look: "Let me calculate it."

Immediately, he made some calculations, and after a moment, the male and female forms of the Yin-Yang Demon Lord laughed at the same time:

“Haha, I can’t figure it out!”

Immortal Shuide was moved upon hearing this: "Even Master Yin Yang can't figure it out?"

Unexpectedly, the Five Elements Immortal Venerable said leisurely: "Sometimes no result is itself a result."

"There are people in this world who can't even be calculated by Yin and Yang... Either they are also at the same level of Immortal Venerable, or they have been covered up by a being of the same level who is good at hiding their tracks."

"Those who can complete the path of life will not be at the level of Immortal Venerable. After all, our path is already determined..."

"It can't be [Reincarnation]. If he were to reincarnate and cultivate again, he would definitely still have to go through the cycle of reincarnation."

"Then someone must have tried to cover it up."

The Five Elements Immortal Lord and the Yin-Yang Demon Lord smiled at each other and said at the same time: "Hidden!"

"It seems the Dao Sect has seized the initiative." Five Elements Immortal Venerable stroked his beard and said, "I just wonder what this young man's identity is. I'm a little curious."

"With [Hidden] covering it up, no one in the heavens and myriad worlds can know this person's identity."

The Yin-Yang Demon Lord sneered and said, "The Daoist sect's foundation is indeed deep... The young monk that the Buddhist sect bet on has been targeted by that person. In the future, he will surely face many tribulations when he tries to attain the Dao. Let alone the position of World Honored One, it will be difficult for him to even survive and cultivate to the level of a Buddha."

"That person...was just trying to protect himself."

The Five Elements Immortal Venerable sighed, "After all, we can't ignore the epochal catastrophe. Perhaps fate will be the key to breaking the impasse... Let's wait and see. If this young friend can truly blaze this trail, his realm will rise higher and higher, and one day he'll enter our sight."

"Great merit, great merit..."

Shuide Xianjun was completely confused and stammered:

"Master, this black fate..."

The Five Elements Immortal Venerable said calmly, "From now on, there will be more and more black fates... Let's call them [Evil] fates."

"If someone is selected as having an evil fate in the Immortal Selection Hall in the future, they should be treated equally. If they are able to ascend, they can still be considered a disciple of the Immortal Court."

Immortal Shuide couldn't help but ask, "Master... the person you're talking about... completed the avenue of destiny. Could it be that this [evil quality] destiny appeared in the heavens and myriad worlds?"

"In the past, even fates like [Shallow Fate and Lack of Fortune] and [Late Bloomer] only had a slight negative impact, not a complete drag."

"But [Evil Fate] is completely negative... How can this benefit all living beings in the universe? How can it be considered a great merit..."

Upon hearing this, the Yin-Yang Demon Lord sneered and said, "Five Elements, the Immortal Lords under your command are truly getting worse with each generation..."

Then he said bluntly:

"Everything in the world must have both positive and negative aspects to achieve perfection."

"Like life and death, yin and yang..."

"Why do cultivators seek immortality? Because they've witnessed the death of others. Otherwise, no one would die, so who would pursue the path to immortality?"

"If there is only life but no death, it is like the sun rising but no setting. Even if the world lasts forever, it will make people forget the preciousness of life."

“Like a lamp that burns long enough to fade away… Only those who have experienced the long nights appreciate the beauty of the dawn, the first rays of light.”

“When something has no opposing reference system, it loses its anchoring significance.”

"Fate is the manifestation of destiny from heaven and earth. If there is only positive destiny and no negative ones, it still cannot be considered perfect."

"Besides, who says that people with [evil fate] will definitely not be able to achieve the great way?"

The Yin-Yang Demon Lord looked at the spirit with a playful look in his eyes:

“Only in times of adversity can a hero’s true character be revealed; even the fire of adversity may forge true gold!”
