I have changed my destiny and become an unparalleled immortal.

[Subject: Gu Yun]

Current level: None

[Current number of times life has been changed: 1]

[Note: The degree to which one's destiny can be altered is related to the individual's spiritual cultivation.]

[Note: Changing one's destiny leaves behind all traces of reality.]

Looking at the words in the book, Gu Yun felt a mix of emotions.

The golden touch arrived more than sixty years too late.

But... even in old age, one can ascend to immortality!

Since all living beings have a destiny, he uses the "Book of Changes in Destiny" to manipulate cause and effect and alter fate.

Who says that one cannot ascend to immortality without a predestined connection to the divine? He then seeks such a connection.

Change your destiny!

Gu Yun recited the "Book of Destiny" in his mind.

Then the Book of Changes and Destiny turned to the next page.

[Anchoring the passage of time, let's begin the deduction...]

[Current time: Sixty years ago.]

[Character Background: From the vast land of Yanfu, in the Eastern Divine Continent.]

.....

[Yi Ming: Gu Yun]

[Born into a peasant family within the territory of the Xuanhuang Dynasty.]

[With both parents alive, he learned farming from a young age, followed in his father's footsteps, working from sunrise to sunset, diligent and capable.]

When you were eighteen, your parents tragically died in an accident.

At the age of twenty, you were introduced to a wife and they lived together ever since.

At twenty-three, you and your wife had a child, a girl. Your married life became even more harmonious, and you had something to look forward to in life.

[Unexpectedly, a change occurred in your thirties. A celestial being descended from a flying boat into your home, saying that your wife had a predestined connection with the immortals. Your wife then left with the celestial being, embarking on a journey to the immortal path, leaving you and your seven-year-old child behind.]

[You were deeply distressed. After raising your child, you traveled to the border of the Xuanhuang Dynasty. As you attempted to cross the Misty Forest, you died upon touching the mist.]

[The rest of my fate remains the same as before]

[Now, your wife has established her foundation and achieved supernatural powers. She wishes to restore the former dynasty, but she does not recognize you in your old age. She only senses your familiar aura and, destined, bestows upon you a predestined connection to immortality, gifting you the Mysterious Scripture of Qi, thus guiding you onto the path of immortality.]

[Fate changed, the end.]

[Note: Serious warning: The current lifespan is severely insufficient, some modifications have been interrupted, and there may be some vulnerabilities.]

Mysterious characters kept appearing on the pages of the Book of Changes in my mind, finally settling here.

Gu Yun was startled.

His own cheat ability was truly powerful; it could manipulate cause and effect to travel back to sixty years ago, creating a new past for him and adding a destiny of immortality to his life.

It is said that one's destiny is related to one's spiritual cultivation.

If he were to reach a higher level of cultivation, wouldn't he become a Celestial Venerable, or even an Ancient Buddha?

Yu Zhixian once said that the Immortal Venerables above the Great Void, the Ancient Buddhas, sit and watch the Divine Continent crumble. But one day, he too can sit on that throne, or even higher.

...

Mo Qianyan was piloting her protective flying sword through the misty forest.

She wore a black robe, with a jade pendant at her waist and a brocade pouch hanging from her waist. Her skin was as white as jade, and her eyes were bright and lively. She had her hair tied in a ponytail.

She exuded a cold aura, like an iceberg fairy.

Having already established a foundation for cultivation and achieved supernatural powers beyond the Qi path, his cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and he happened to be strolling around here.

Mo Qianyan suddenly had a terrible headache. The headache lasted for a while. Why did this place feel so familiar? How strange!

……

Gu Yun was sitting in the Prince's mansion at this moment, recalling and organizing the words of his old friend Yu Zhixian.

The outside world is called Jambudvipa.

And on this vast land of Yanfu, there are four great divine continents.

They are respectively East Sheng Shenzhou, West Niu Hezhou, North Ju Luzhou, and South Zhanbuzhou.

The vast land of Jambudvipa governs the world with the Dao, and this is true of all four great continents.

This "Tao" encompasses everything, whether it is the Tao of Immortals, the Tao of Buddha, or the Tao of Demons; anyone with a legitimate lineage can govern the world.

Above the four great continents, four lineages of Taoism have manifested in the world: Immortals, Buddhas, Taoism, and Demons.

All living beings have their own destiny. Whether they wish to enter the Taoist tradition to cultivate and be guided into the Tao, or to leave the Taoist tradition and have a miraculous encounter to enter the Tao, they all need to have a predestined affinity with immortals.

This world of immortals is governed by the doctrine of destiny.

Those favored by Heaven will become great supernatural beings, cultivate themselves to the highest level, strive to become immortals or Buddhas, and transcend the mortal realm.

Those who are unfortunate by fate are destined to be mere mortals in this world of suffering, grains of sand in this life, confined to the dust of existence.

However, having a predestined connection to the immortals and receiving a divine mandate comes at a price. Those who receive the mandate must follow their destiny, endure the tribulations they are meant to face, guide those with affinity into the path, and do what is ordained.

...

Just as Yu Zhixian was about to leave Yan Jin, he saw a silver light streak across the distant horizon, and that silver light was rapidly approaching him.

He was immediately startled. Who...who was this senior who arrived on a sword?

Judging from this speed, he is probably at least a master of supernatural powers above the Qi level.

Could it be that this remote and barren place is meant to guide those with a predestined connection?

He's only been on the path of immortality for fifty years, and yet Yan Jin already has another person destined for immortality about to ascend to heaven... It's truly...

It's a pity for Brother Gu. I saw him being guided earlier, and now I'm about to see someone else being guided away, but he's a person without any affinity for immortality. He can only stay in this barren wasteland and slowly face death.

Yes, in Yu Zhixian's eyes, Gu Yun had no affinity for immortality, otherwise he wouldn't be eighty years old and still without anyone to guide him.

In the stories he had heard, even the last person to be guided to immortality was only middle-aged; there were no examples of people ascending to immortality in their later years.

He had assumed that the person who was guiding him was unrelated to him, but he saw that the silver light was pointing directly at the residence of his old friend, the Prince Yi Gu, and then it went away.

Suddenly, a ridiculous thought popped into Yu Zhixian's mind: Could it be that this person came to guide his old friend? Brother Gu also has a destiny to become an immortal, but he is in his twilight years.

I went to take a look.

But... there's no one in this world who ascends to immortality in their old age. It's something I've never seen or heard of before!

Like Yu Zhixian, the people of Yan Jin also saw the silver light that streaked across the sky.

The people on the street were in an uproar, marveling at the spectacle.

The high-ranking officials, wealthy merchants, and nobles who had previously left Gu Yun's place were all taken aback when they saw him heading straight for the Gu Prince's mansion.

What a special day it is today! Two immortals are about to grace the Gu Prince's residence with their presence.

Could it be... could it be!

That eighty-year-old Gu Wang... he, he... truly had a destiny with immortals.

It is only because the time has come that the two immortals have entered this mortal dynasty and are heading straight for his royal palace!

But he's eighty, nearing the end of his life! He's eighty, nearing the end of his life!

At such an age, nearing the end of one's life, in the twilight of life, can one really ascend to immortality?!
